BackgroundWith the emergence of the metaverse, virtual reality, as a digital technology, must be getting hotter. High quality virtual reality related nursing knowledge scene learning is gradually replacing traditional education and intervention skills.ObjectiveThis systematic study aimed to gain insights into the overall application of virtual reality technology in the study of nursing.MethodsCitations downloaded from the Web of Science Core Collection database for use in VR in nursing publications published from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2021, were considered in the research. Information retrieval was analyzed using https://bibliometric.com/app, CiteSpace.5.8. R3, and VOS viewer.ResultsA total of 408 institutions from 95 areas contributed to relevant publications, of which the United States is the most influential country in this research field. The clustering labels of cited documents were obtained from the citing documents. Virtual simulation, virtual learning, clinical skills, and dementia are the clustering labels of co-cited documents. The burst keywords represented the research frontiers in 2020–2021, which were knowledge and simulation.ConclusionVirtual nursing has had an impact on both nurses and clients. With the emergence of the concept of the metaverse, the research and application of virtual reality technology in nursing will gradually increase.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between MDR1 gene polymorphisms and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk. Genomic DNA of 1431 subjects was extracted from peripheral blood and genotyping was performed using the created restriction site-polymerase chain reaction (CRS-PCR). We found that the c.1465C > T single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) increased HCC risk in all genetic models (p < 0.05) and the allele-T of c.1465C > T may contribute to the risk of HCC. No significantly increased HCC risk was detected in c.159G > T SNP. Our data indicated that the genetic variants of MDR1 gene may be a valuable molecular marker for HCC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
