Objectives: 1) To assess the methodological quality of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) in women with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI); 2) to formulate an algorithm to foster the implementation of guidelines by clinicians.Methods: A systematic search for CPGs in English and Chinese languages published between 2015 and 2020 was conducted. Assessment was conducted by two reviewers respectively via the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II instrument. The interappraisal agreement was evaluated. Recommendations pertaining to the management of CVD in women with POI were extracted from high-score CPGs and developed into an algorithm, which was refined on the basis of expert feedback.Results: A total of 14 CPGs were included. Three CPGs were evaluated as ''high quality,'' with five ''average'' and six considered ''low quality.'' The consistency of agreement between reviewers was considered as substantial agreement to almost perfect agreement (0.72-0.90). The algorithm consisted of three categories: initial evaluation, management, and subsequent monitoring of CVD in POI. Only ''management'' had recommendations from all three high-quality CPGs.Conclusions: The overall methodological quality of most CPGs regarding CVD in women with POI is moderate to poor. A management algorithm with a clear implementation strategy was developed from high-scoring CPGs. Further research is needed to provide evidence-based health care in this field.

Air-assisted spraying technology is widely used in orchard sprayers to disturb canopy leaves and force droplets into the plant canopy to reduce droplet drift and increase spray penetration. A low-flow air-assisted sprayer was developed based on a self-designed air-assisted nozzle. The effects of the sprayer speed, spray distance, and nozzle arrangement angle on the deposit coverage, spray penetration, and deposit distribution were investigated in a vineyard by means of orthogonal tests. The optimal working conditions for the low-flow air-assisted sprayer working in the vineyard were determined as a sprayer speed of 0.65m/s, a spray distance of 0.9m, and a nozzle arrangement angle of 20°. The deposit coverages of the proximal canopy and intermediate canopy were 23.67% and 14.52%, respectively. The spray penetration was 0.3574. The variation coefficients of the deposit coverage of the proximal canopy and intermediate canopy, which indicate the uniformity of the deposition distribution, were 8.56% and 12.33%, respectively.

Aims and ObjectivesTo assess the methodological quality of current clinical practice guidelines related to post‐stroke dysphagia and develop an algorithm using nursing process as a framework for clinical nursing.BackgroundDysphagia is a serious complication of stroke. Yet the recommendations related to nursing in guidelines have not been systematically sorted out, so they are difficult for nurses to use to guide clinical nursing practice.DesignSystematic review.MethodsA systematic review of literature was performed using the PRISMA Checklist. A systematic search for relevant guidelines published between 2017 and 2022 was conducted. Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II instrument was used to assess methodological quality. Recommendations related to nursing practice from high‐quality guidelines were summarised and developed into an algorithm to provide reference for the standardised construction of nursing practice scheme.Results991 records were initially identified from database searches and other sources. Finally, 10 guidelines were included, of which 5 were rated as high quality. A total of 27 recommendations from the 5 highest‐scoring guidelines were summarised and used to develop an algorithm.ConclusionsThis study indicated deficiencies and variability in current available guidelines. Based on five high‐quality guidelines, we developed an algorithm to facilitate nurses' adherence to guidelines and contribute to evidence‐based nursing. In the future, high‐quality guidelines, together with large‐sample and multi‐centre clinical researches are suggested to give more scientific and convincing evidence to nursing of post‐stroke dysphagia.Relevance to Clinical PracticeThe findings indicate that nursing process may provide a unified framework for standardised nursing of different diseases. Nursing leaders are recommended to adopt this algorithm in their units. In addition, nursing administrators and educators should promote the application of nursing diagnosis to help nurses foster nursing thinking mode.Patient or Public ContributionNo patient or public involvement in this review.

Introducing plasmonic metals into semiconductor materials has been proven to be an attractive strategy for enhancing photocatalytic activity in the visible region. In this work, a novel and efficient Ag/Ag2WO4/g‐C3N4 (AACN) ternary plasmonic photocatalyst was successfully synthesized using a facile one‐step in situ hydrothermal method. The composition, structure, morphology and optical absorption properties of AACN were investigated using X‐ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, respectively. Photocatalytic performance of AACN was evaluated via rhodamine B and tetracycline degradation. The results indicated that AACN had excellent photocatalytic performance for rhodamine B degradation with a rate constant of 0.0125 min−1, which was higher than those of Ag2WO4 and Ag/Ag2WO4. Characterization and photocatalytic tests showed that the strong coupling effect between the Ag/Ag2WO4 nanoparticles and the exfoliated ultrathin g‐C3N4 nanosheets was superior for visible‐light responsivity and reduced the recombination rate of photogenerated electrons and holes. A proposed mechanism is also discussed according to the band energy structure and the experimental results.

Aim The study aimed to explore learning achievement and students' satisfaction with a blended learning (BL) electrocardiogram (ECG) education programme in undergraduate nursing education. Design This was a quasi‐experimental post‐test design. Methods The study was conducted during semester one of the academic year 2020/2021. Participants were divided into two groups: the BL group and face‐to‐face (FTF) group. The BL group received the newly designed BL programme. The FTF group received the traditional learning methods. Post‐test measures of the study variables such as knowledge, study time and satisfaction were conducted. Chi‐square (χ2) test was used to evaluate categorical variables. The Mann–Whitney test was used to analyse continuous variables. Results Participants in BL group had significantly higher scores in ECG interpretation and total score. No significant differences in foundational knowledge between the two groups were found. Study time was significantly longer in the BL group. Regarding satisfaction, significant differences were found in structure rationality and promotion of self‐learning.
