文摘The risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)have been increasingly researched,but the lack of systematic identification and categorization makes it difficult for clinicians to quickly and accurately access and understand all the risk factors,which are categorized in this paper into five categories:Social determinants,lifestyle,checkable/testable risk factors,history of illness and medication,and other factors,which are discussed in a narrative review.Meanwhile,this paper points out the problems of the current research,helps to improve the systematic categorisation and practicality of T2DM risk factors,and provides a professional research basis for clinical practice and industry decision-making.
文摘Objective:To explore the effect of narrative nursing combined with exercise training on health beliefs and cardiac rehabilitation in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI)after interventional treatment.Methods:A total of 111 patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI)who received interventional therapy in Department of Cardiology of Hefei First People’s Hospital from January 2022 to September 2023 were selected as the study subjects.They were randomly divided into a control group(n=55)and a study group(n=56)using a random table method.Both groups received routine nursing care,while the control group received exercise training on top of it.The study group received narrative nursing care on top of the control group.Both groups were intervened until the patients were discharged.The health beliefs,heart function,psychological status,and quality of life after intervention were compared between two groups using a 6-minute walk test(6MWT).Results:After intervention,the scores of the TSK-SV Heart in all dimensions(fear of movement,functional disorders,risk perception,and avoidance of movement)decreased in both groups,and the study group was lower than the control group,with a statistical significant difference(P<0.05).After intervention,the scores of the Self Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)and Self Rating Depression Scale(SDS)in both groups decreased,and the study group was lower than the control group,with a statistical significant difference(P<0.05).After intervention,both groups showed an increase in left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and left ventricular early diastolic peak flow velocity/left ventricular late diastolic peak flow velocity(E/A),with the study group being higher than the control group.The left ventricular end diastolic diameter(LVEDD)and left atrial volume index(LAVI)decreased,and the study group was lower than the control group,with statistical significant differences(P<0.05).The walking distance of the study group at 6MWT(488.8±31.4)m was greater than that of the control group(425.54±30.7)m,with statistical significant differences(P<0.05).The quality of life measurement scale(CROQ-PTCA-Post)of the study group after coronary intervention treatment had higher scores in all dimensions(physical function,satisfaction,psychosocial function,adverse reactions,symptoms,cognitive function)than the control group,with statistical significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion:Narrative nursing combined with exercise training can enhance the health beliefs of AMI patients towards exercise training after intervention therapy,which is beneficial for cardiac rehabilitation and can improve psychological status and quality of life.
文摘At present,strengthening China’s international communication capabilities and enhancing China’s global influence have become important tasks.This study selects 60 pieces of soft news from China Daily from March 2023 to February 2024 as research objects and explores China’s national image from the source texts.Then,based on Mona Baker’s narrative theory,it analyzes the translation strategies to reconstruct the image of China,further revealing the regular characteristics of their application.Through translation,the reconstructed national image of China becomes more positive and more acceptable to foreign readers,effectively promoting the dissemination of Chinese stories in the international community.It is significant for promoting international understanding and cooperation,as well as effectively utilizing translation as a tool to enhance China’s national image.
文摘Written by Julian Barnes,a well-known contemporary British writer,The Porcupine is a novel with a touch on Bulgaria’s social realities in the early 1990s.However,it is not a realistic novel in a conventional sense.It is composed of forty-three sections,long or short,fragmented in form and laid out by means of montage strategies.In the novel,Barnes used“continuous montage”and“parallel montage”strategies to unveil the plot and tell the story and employed“psychological montage”and“contrast montage”strategies to showcase characters’consciousness and personalities.The ingenious use of different montage strategies in the novel challenges the linear narrative paradigm in traditionally realistic novels,enriches its narrative structures and textual dimensions,and highlights its dramatic conflict,hence reflecting the narrative innovation in Barnes’s fictional writing and providing new space for the studies of his novels from the viewpoint of narratology and/or postmodernism.
文摘This study examines the bidirectional shaping mechanism between short-video algorithms and film narratives within the attention economy.It investigates how algorithmic logic influences cinematic storytelling and how films,in turn,contribute to the aesthetic enhancement of short-video content.Drawing on Communication Accommodation Theory and Berry’s Acculturation Theory,along with case analyses and industry data,this research demonstrates that algorithms push films toward high-stimulus,fast-paced narrative patterns—characterized by increased shot density and structural fragmentation—to capture and retain viewer attention.Conversely,films counter this influence by supplying narratively deep and artistically refined content that elevates short-video aesthetics and encourages critical audience engagement.This dynamic reflects a process of mutual adaptation rather than one-sided dominance.The study concludes that such interaction signifies a broader restructuring of cultural production logic,facilitating cross-media convergence while simultaneously posing risks to cultural diversity due to the prioritization of high-traffic content.Balancing this relationship will require policy support,algorithmic transparency,and strengthened industry self-regulation to preserve artistic integrity and cultural ecosystem diversity.
文摘This paper probes into the transformation process and the deep meaning of the female characters in The Case of a Missing Seventeen and Gone Girl.The research shows that Wang Di and Amy realize the transformation from“being gazed at”to“gazer”through the disappearance in the Chinese and Western cultural backgrounds respectively.Wang Di’s secret resistance reflects the traditional culture’s suppression of women’s self-awareness,while Amy controls the development of the story through carefully planned strategies,revealing the complex position of women in the marriage system.These two works show the struggle and breakthrough of women in the gender power structure,and emphasize the necessity of gender equality consciousness.Through a detailed study of role analysis and narrative strategies,this paper provides a new perspective for understanding the survival and growth of modern women in gender relations.

文摘Objective:To explore the effect of narrative nursing combined with positive reinforcement nursing intervention on the psychological state of patients with gynecological cancer chemotherapy.Methods:From January 2022 to December 2023,99 cancer patients with postoperative chemotherapy admitted to the Department of Gynecology in the author’s ClassⅲGrade A hospital were selected as the research objects,and they were divided into the control group(49 cases)and the observation group(50 cases)by random number method.The control group was intervened by the nursing model based on positive reinforcement theory,while the observation group received narrative nursing intervention measures on this basis.The self-rating Anxiety scale(SAS),self-rating depression scale(SDS),distress thermometer(DT),Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI),and General Self-Efficacy Scale(GSES)were used to evaluate and compare the changes of various indicators between the two groups after intervention.Results:There were no significant differences in the scores of SAS,SDS,DT,PSQI,and GSES between the two groups at the time of intervention(P>0.05).After chemotherapy,the SAS,SDS,and DT scores of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group(P<0.05),and the PSQI and GSES scores were significantly better than those of the control group(P<0.01).Conclusion:Compared with the simple positive reinforcement nursing model,narrative nursing combined with positive reinforcement nursing intervention has more advantages in improving the mental health status of patients with gynecological cancer chemotherapy.It can significantly relieve the negative emotions,such as anxiety and depression of patients,effectively improve their self-efficacy level,optimize their sleep quality,and provide more comprehensive support for the physical and mental rehabilitation of patients.
