Continuous Nursing Intervention Based on Network Interactive in Early Diabetic Kidney Disease Patients

Objective

To analyze the effect of continuous nursing intervention based on network interactive platform on improving blood glucose level and self-efficacy in patients with early diabetic kidney disease.

Methods

The control group received basic routine nursing, and the study group received continuous nursing based on the network interactive platform. The blood glucose level, renal function, inflammatory factors, self-efficacy, self-management behavior, nursing efficacy and adverse reactions were compared.

Results

There was no significant difference in baseline data between the two groups. After the application of continuous nursing based on network interactive platform, the blood glucose level and renal function of patients were significantly decreased, and those of the study group were lower than those of the control group. The inflammatory factors in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group.

Conclusion

In the nursing of patients with early-onset diabetic kidney disease, the application of continuous nursing based on network interactive platform can effectively reduce the level of inflammatory factors, improve the level of blood glucose and renal function, improve the self-efficacy and self-management behavior of patients, and reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions. It is worthy of promotion and application in nursing.

Bibliometric and visualization analysis of mesenchymal stem cells and rheumatoid arthritis (from 2012 to 2021)

Background

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that can lead to joint deformity and loss of function. Recent studies have shown great progress in the research of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in RA. However, thus far, there have been no bibliometric or visualization analyses in this field. This bibliometric analysis provides a comprehensive overview of the general information and research hotspots of MSCs and RA.

Methods

Articles relevant to MSCs and RA, published between 2012 and 2021, were searched using the Web of Science Core Collection database. Irrelevant publications were excluded from the analysis. Bibliometric and visualization analyses were conducted using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and Scimago Graphica.

Results

A total of 577 articles were analyzed. The annual number of publications increased from 2012 to 2017 and plateaued from 2017 to 2021. China and the USA had the largest number of publications. Collaboration among different organizations mainly occurs between institutes of the same country. Stem Cell Research and Therapy and Frontiers in Immunology were the most popular journals in this field. All the top 20 co-cited authors had a positive co-citation relationship. The top references indicate that MSCs can contribute to RA research and treatment mainly via immunomodulation. From 2012 to 2021, “collagen-induced arthritis,” “immunomodulation,” and “therapy” were some of the keywords associated with MSCs and RA, while “extracellular vesicles” showed a strong keyword burst from 2019 to 2021.

Conclusion

MSCs and RA have been widely studied in different countries and institutions and by different authors over the last ten years. China and the USA had the largest number of publications. Different types of journals provide admirable sources for researchers. Some keywords, including immunomodulation and extracellular vesicles, may be hot spots in the near future. There will be more basic research and clinical translation of MSCs and RA, and substantial new treatments for RA will soon be developed.
