    Abstract Breast cancer (BC) leads to the most amounts of deaths among women. Chemo-, endocrine-, and targeted therapies are the mainstay drug treatments for BC in the clinic. However, drug resistance is a major obstacle for BC patients, and it leads to poor prognosis. Accumulating evidences suggested that noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are intricately linked to a wide range of pathological processes, including drug resistance. Till date, the correlation between drug resistance and ncRNAs is not completely understood in BC. Herein, we comprehensively summarized a dysregulated ncRNAs landscape that promotes or inhibits drug resistance in chemo-, endocrine-, and targeted BC therapies. Our review will pave way for the effective management of drug resistance by targeting oncogenic ncRNAs, which, in turn will promote drug sensitivity of BC in the future.

    Abstract Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the cutoff score of the Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) certification examination determined using two standard-setting methods and to compare it with the current score.
    Background: The APN qualification is established by passing a certification examination. However, the method of determining the passing criterion is different among countries. In Korea, the passing criterion has been predetermined as 60% of the total score or above without any theoretical or empirical basis.
    Design: In this study, two typical and popular standard-setting methods, the modified Angoff and Bookmark methods, were used to determine the passing criterion of the APN certification examination.
    Methods: The performance data of a gerontological APN certification examination were used to conduct standard setting with both the modified Angoff and Bookmark methods. The total number of examinees in the dataset was 121. Item analysis with a 2-parameter logistic model was performed based on the item response theory using the Bilog-MG3.0 program. A total of 5 raters in APN education and clinical nursing practice were selected.
    Results: The modified Angoff and Bookmark methods gave cutoff scores of 113 and 110.5 with passing ratios of 52.9% and 57.0%, respectively. These results were different from the conventional cutoff score of 90 with a passing ratio of 93.4%.
    Conclusion: The present arbitrary fixed cutoff score should be reconsidered to improve the robustness of the APN qualification and standard-setting methods should be employed to determine an adequate cutoff score for the APN certification examination to ensure the competency of APNs in providing advanced care.

    Abstract Objective: To modify the method for establishing mouse models of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)-induced focal cerebral ischemia using electrocoagulation.
    Methods: Forty-six C57/BL6J male mice were divided into MCAO model group (
    Results: The mice in the model group showed significantly reduced cerebral blood flow in the MCA on the ischemic side and obvious neurological deficits with increased forelimb use asymmetry on days 1, 7 and 14 after modeling (
    Conclusion: We successfully prepared mouse models of MCAO using a modified method by changing the electrocoagulation location from the distal location of the junction between the MCA and the inferior cerebral vein to a 2 mm segment medial to the junction between the MCA and the olfactory bundle.

    Abstract Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is one of the most common syndromes in the intensive care unit, with a high mortality and morbidity. Refractory hypoxia is the typical feature of ARDS, and improving hypoxia is the key to the treatment of ARDS. Due to the rapid progression of ARDS, invasive ventilation is usually used to improve hypoxia. But in recent years, with the extending of the understanding of ARDS and the development of non-invasive oxygen therapy, high flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) and non-invasive ventilation (NIV) are gradually used in ARDS. Therefore, we reviewed the role of HFNO and NIV in ARDS in this paper.

    Abstract Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a biological phenomenon of cellular plasticity initially reported in embryonic development, has been increasingly recognized for its importance in cancer progression and metastasis. Despite tremendous progress being made in the past 2 decades in our understanding of the molecular mechanism and functional importance of EMT in cancer, there are several mysteries around EMT that remain unresolved. In this Unsolved Mystery, we focus on the variety of EMT types in metastasis, cooperative and collective EMT behaviors, spatiotemporal characterization of EMT, and strategies of therapeutically targeting EMT. We also highlight new technical advances that will facilitate the efforts to elucidate the unsolved mysteries of EMT in metastasis.

    Abstract Background: Caffeine has been reported to increase gastrointestinal motility and change intestinal microbiota. Constipation may be caused by colonic motor dysfunction and colonic microbiomeis disturbances. In this study, we aimed to explore the association between caffeine intake and constipation.
    Methods: This was a cross-sectional study based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Caffeine intake was assessed using 24-h dietary recall method, and constipation was defined based on stool consistency or stool frequency. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between caffeine intake and constipation, and results were expressed as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). Subgroup analysis was performed based on age.
    Results: A total of 13,816 participants were finally included for analysis. After adjusting potential confounders, high intake of caffeine was found to be associated with the low odds of constipation (Q3: OR = 0.60, 95%CI: 0.49-0.74; Q4: OR = 0.77, 95%CI: 0.59-0.99; Q5: OR = 0.72, 95%CI: 0.56-0.92). The similar association was found in young people and middle-age people (P < 0.05).
    Conclusion: High caffeine intake was associated with the low odds of constipation. Our finding indicated that individuals should develop consciousness and habit of consuming caffeinated foods and drinks to prevent and relief the constipation.

    Abstract Extant research on the topic of death and dying in modern society frequently includes the observation that death is now rendered invisible, and dying individuals are stigmatized and socially avoided. The current research speculated that lack of contact with a dying individual may promote negative perceptions of the dying, and this may in turn lead to further avoidance of them. Three studies were conducted: The first study examined how frequently the current U.S. participants had social contact with a dying individual; the second study investigated what perceptions they have of the dying, and the third study tested for potential causal links between negative perceptions of the dying and social avoidance of them. The results indicated: Only a small number of the U.S. participants ever had frequent social contact with a dying individual outside their family; they, nevertheless, shared several common negative perceptions of the dying; and those negative perceptions exerted different effects on one's avoidant attitude toward a dying individual-only making males more avoidant, especially in a physically close social relationship. Two concepts, medicalization and masculinism, were suggested as possible explanations for why dying individuals are stigmatized and avoided in modern society.
