    Abstract Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is a genetic kidney disease caused by mutations in the genes PKD1 or PKD2. Its course is characterized by the formation of progressively enlarged cysts in the renal tubules bilaterally. The basic genetic explanation for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is the double-hit theory, and many of its mechanistic issues can be explained by the cilia doctrine. However, the precise molecular mechanisms underpinning this condition's occurrence are still not completely understood. Experimental evidence suggests that aquaporins, a class of transmembrane channel proteins, including aquaporin-1, aquaporin-2, aquaporin-3, and aquaporin-11, are involved in the mechanism of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Aquaporins are either a potential new target for the treatment of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, and further study into the physiopathological role of aquaporins in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease will assist to clarify the disease's pathophysiology and increase the pool of potential treatment options. We primarily cover pertinent findings on aquaporins in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease in this review.

    Abstract Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the most abundantly produced plastic due to its excellent performance, but is also the primary source of poorly degradable plastic pollution. The development of environment-friendly PET biodegradation is attracting increasing interest. The leaf-branch compost cutinase mutant ICCG (F243I/D238C/S283C/Y127G) exhibits the best hydrolytic activity and thermostability of all known PET hydrolases. However, its superior PET degradation is highly dependent on its preparation as a purified enzyme, which critically reduces its industrial utility. Herein, we report the use of rational design and combinatorial mutagenesis to develop a novel ICCG mutant RITK (D53R/R143I/D193T/E208K) that demonstrated excellent whole-cell biocatalytic activity. Whole cells expressing RITK showed an 8.33-fold increase in biocatalytic activity compared to those expressing ICCG. Thermostability was also improved. After reacting at 85 °C for 3 h, purified RITK exhibited a 12.75-fold increase in depolymerization compared to ICCG. These results will greatly enhance the industrial utility of PET hydrolytic enzymes and further the progress of PET recycling.

    Abstract Type 2 diabetic kidney disease (T2DKD) is a common microvascular complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and its incidence is significantly increasing. Microinflammation plays an important role in the development of T2DKD. Based on this, this study investigated the value of inflammatory markers including neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in the prediction of T2DKD. This was a cross-sectional survey study. A total of 90 patients with T2DM, who were hospitalized in the nephrology and endocrinology departments of the First Teaching Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from June 2021 to January 2022, were included and divided into three groups (A1, A2, A3) according to the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR). Observe and compare the basic information, clinical and laboratory data, and the inflammatory markers NLR, hs-CRP, MCP-1. Results revealed that high levels of NLR (OR = 6.562, 95% CI 2.060-20.902, P = 0.001) and MCP-1 (OR = 1.060, 95% CI 1.026-1.095, P < 0.001) were risk factors in the development of T2DKD. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the area under curve of NLR and MCP-1 in diagnosing T2DKD were 0.760 (95% CI 0.6577-0.863, P < 0.001) and 0.862 (95% CI 0.7787-0.937, P < 0.001). Therefore, the inflammatory markers NLR and MCP-1 are risk factors affecting the development of T2DKD, which of clinical value may be used as novel markers of T2DKD.

    Abstract Background: Fear-of-pain is a common feeling of patients and their family who experience or witness severe or chronic pain. Fear-of-pain may disturb patient's recovery, and also influence family support to assist patients' recovery.
    Aim: This study is to measure the level of family support for each patient; evaluate the extent of the supporting families' fear-of-pain; and identify possible interventions in family support and family fear-of-pain.
    Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive research involved 77 participants in the orthopedics department of a tertiary hospital by convenience sampling. The online questionnaire includes general information, and scales of fear-of-pain, pain anxiety, pain vigilance and awareness, pain catastrophizing, and family support. T-test, Pearson correlation analysis and Spearman correlation analysis were used to analyze data.
    Results: Most participants reported that they experienced a moderate-to-high level of fear-of-pain, pain anxiety, pain vigilance and awareness. A total of 15.6% of participants are at risk of pain catastrophizing. The family's pain vigilance and awareness, and fear-of-pain were often similar to those of the patient, and their levels of pain anxiety and catastrophizing were often higher than the patient's. Family support and families' fear-of-pain affect patients' feelings of pain and families' behavior in decision-making for patient recovery, necessitating the development of interventions for patients' families.
    Conclusions: Family members can develop the fear-of-pain from witnessing painful experiences and may exhibit fear-avoidance behaviors in deciding on patients' rehabilitation plan. Family support, including the type of relationship with families, and length of time family spent with the patient, had an effect on patients' pain and fear-of-pain.

    Abstract Purpose: To investigate regarding workplace health and safety factors, and to identify strategies to preserve and promote a healthy nursing workplace.
    Methods: Data collected using the Delphi technique with input from 41 key informants across four participant categories drawn from a Chinese university and four hospitals were thematically analysed.
    Results: Most respondents agreed on the importance of nurses' health and safety, and that nurse managers should act to protect nurses, but not enough on workplace safety. Hospital policies, staff disempowerment, workload and workplace conflicts are major obstacles.
    Conclusion: The reality of Chinese nurses' workplaces is that health and safety risks abound and relate to socio-cultural expectations of women. Self-management of risks is neccessary, gaps exist in understanding of workplace risks among different nursing groups and their perceptions of the professional status, and the value of nurses' contribution to ongoing risks in the hospital workplace. The Chinese hospital system must make these changes to produce a safer working environment for nurses.
    Implications for nursing management: This research, based in China, presents an instructive tale for all countries that need support on the types and amounts of management for nurses working at the clinical interface, and on the consequences of management neglect of relevant policies and procedures.

    Abstract Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is an uncommon and harmful complication which may cause destructive outcomes. Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) as a protease can reduce constituents of the extracellular matrix and play a crucial role in the progression of EPS. As a new biomarker, MMP-2 may improve the detection rate of EPS patients in clinical work. In this review, we summarize the recent study of MMP-2 in different etiologies and the assessment of its application value and draw attention to its future directions.

    Abstract Objectives: The aim of this project was to implement best practice in pain relief during wound care for patients with deep open wounds in the orthopedic trauma department of a tertiary teaching hospital in China.
    Introduction: Patients with deep open wounds often suffer from severe pain during wound care. Inadequate pain relief for these patients calls for evidence-based changes to close the gap between current and best practice.
    Methods: The current quality improvement project was carried out over six months using the JBI Practical Application of Clinical Evidence System (JBI PACES). A baseline and two follow-up audits of wound pain management practice were conducted to identify practice gaps and post implementation compliance in pain management in wound care. The sample comprised 20 patients and two dressing nurses. The Getting Research into Practice tool identified barriers to and strategies for improvement in practice. The patients' pain experiences were measured following the implementation of changes.
    Results: The baseline audit identified poor compliance with best practice. Following implementation of the recommended changes, some significant improvements in practice were made by the dressing nurses; however, these were inadequately maintained at the second post implementation audit. Patients' pain scores improved following the nurses' practice changes (t = 2.272, P > 0.05).
    Conclusion: The implementation of best practice in pain relief during wound care for patients with deep open wounds has led to significant improvement in nurses' performance in the orthopedic trauma department. The most challenging barriers involved interdisciplinary collaborations and organizational structure.

    Abstract Background: Although simulated teaching was introduced to China in the 1990s, it remains underused in nursing education. Determining how Chinese nurse educators feel about using simulation in their institutions is very important for faculty training and has the potential to influence simulation implementation.
    Method: This cross-sectional descriptive study was undertaken to identify the nurse educators' experiences in the use of simulation from various regions of China. One hundred and thirty-six nurse educators provided demographic data and information about simulation implementation within their institutions and explored the perceived barriers and benefits of simulation usage.
    Results: The survey data shows that 108 participants have used simulation in their work, but less than 92 (67.6%) of the respondents had used this teaching strategy more than ten times in last year. The study identified four factors hindering nurse faculty from simulation adoption: (1) concerns with student readiness; (2) the need for faculty team-building for simulation teaching; (3) lack of adequate simulation resources; and (4) thoughtful integration of simulation into nursing curricula.
    Conclusions: Study data suggest that faculty training programs for simulation should be based on the nurse educators' training needs, including systematically designed training topics, and the provision of hands-on learning simulation activities with expert feedback to help nurse educators achieve the competencies required for effective simulation-based education.

    Abstract Aim: This study aimed to illustrate the relationship between nurse staffing and missed care, and how missed care affects quality of care and adverse events in Thai hospitals.
    Background: Quality and safety are major priorities for health care system. Nurse staffing and missed care are associated with low quality of care and adverse events. However, examination of this relationship is limited in Thailand.
    Methods: This cross-sectional study collected data from 1188 nurses in five university hospitals across Thailand. The participants completed questionnaires that assessed the patient-to-nurse ratio, adequacy of staffing, missed care, quality of care and adverse events. Logistic regression models were used to estimate associations.
    Results: Higher patient-to-nurse ratio, poor staffing and lack of resource adequacy were significantly associated with higher odds of reporting missed care. Higher nurse-reported missed care was significantly associated with higher odds of adverse events and poor quality of care.
    Conclusions: Poor nurse staffing was associated with missed care, and missed care was associated with adverse events and lower quality of care in Thai university hospitals.
    Implications for nursing management: Improving nurse staffing and assuring adequate resources are recommended to reduce missed care and adverse events and increase quality of care.
