Predictive value of platelet-related parameters combined with pneumonia severity index score for mortality rate of patients with severe pneumonia.
To analyse the predictive value of platelet-related parameters combined with pneumonia severity index (PSI) score for the mortality rate of patients with severe pneumonia. ⋯ PLT, PDW, MPV and P-LCR are significantly abnormal in patients with severe pneumonia, and the combination of platelet-related parameters with PSI score has the highest predictive value for 28-day mortality.

Observation of the clinical effect of immediate implantation and delayed implantation in the maxillary and maxillary molars.
To study the clinical application effect of two kinds of implants in the upper and lower molars. ⋯ Both delayed restoration and immediate implant restoration can achieve good results in implant restoration treatment in the maxillary and maxillary molars. However, immediate implantation has certain advantages in reducing the amount of alveolar bone absorption and maintaining the aesthetic effect of the gums.

Study on short-term clinical observation of the effect of apically repositioned flap combined with free gingival graft to widen keratinized tissue in implant area.
To analyse the short-term clinical results of the effect of apically repositioned flap combined with free gingival graft to widen keratinized tissue in implant area, so as to provide a basis for its clinical application. ⋯ The free gingival flap graft can significantly widen the buccal keratinized mucosa of the implant, and to some extent maintains the health status of the implant, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Expression of miR-152 in cervical cancer and its influence on cisplatin resistance.
Cervical cancer has a high mortality rate. ⋯ MiR-152 suppresses the proliferation, migration and infiltration of cervical cancer cells and reduces their resistance to DDP chemotherapy by inhibiting the expressions of proteins in the ERBB3/Akt/c-myc and ERBB3/Akt/Snail pathways.

Prevalence of hepatitis B and C, and syphilis among aspirant migrant workers of Bangladesh.
In Bangladesh, labour migration is a source of employment and workers' remittances are critical to poverty mitigation. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of hepatitis B, C, HIV, tuberculosis, syphilis, kidney and liver diseases along with presence of infections among aspirant migrant workers of Bangladesh. ⋯ Diagnosis of diseases of workers is obligatory before going abroad to safeguard the health of the workers and residents of destination country. Consequently, it will contribute to reducing the global burden of infectious diseases.
