Review Case Reports
Ovarian clear cell cancer associated with Trousseau syndrome: A case report and literature review.
Trousseau syndrome is known as patients with tumors have a combination of multiple thrombi with systemic organ infarction. The incidence of ovarian clear cell cancer associated with Trousseau syndrome is relatively low. We report the case of a 41-year-old woman diagnosed with ovarian clear cell cancer with deep vein thrombosis and cerebral infarction who had a poor prognosis. ⋯ Gynecologists should be aware of the need for clinical suspicion of the risk of thrombosis during the treatment period of ovarian cancer and make careful decisions.

At present, apart from lung transplantation, no drugs can effectively treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Therefore, it is imperative to explore new drugs to control or treat it. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) injections have been widely used in the field of IPF, but there is no comparison of their efficacy in the assisted improvement of IPF. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to network meta-analyze the efficacy and safety of 4 kinds of commonly used TCM injections assisted by conventional treatment to improve the disease. ⋯ The four TCM injections combined with conventional treatment can effectively improve the clinical indicators of patients with IPF, and the improvement effect of Danhong injection was more obvious.

The accuracy of 3-dimensional (3D) optical devices for facial soft-tissue measurement is essential to the success of clinical treatment in stomatology. The aim of the present systematic review was to summarize the accuracy of 3D optical devices used for facial soft-tissue assessment in stomatology. ⋯ Overall, the 3D optical devices demonstrated excellent accuracy and reliability for facial soft-tissue measurement in stomatology. red, green, blue-depth camera can collect accurate static and dynamic 3D facial scans with low cost and high measurement accuracy. Practical needs and availability of resources should be considered when these devices are used in clinical settings.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a common cause of death worldwide and heart failure (HF) is the main complication. Although the increase in percutaneous coronary intervention and drug treatment can reduce in-hospital mortality after AMI, the incidence of HF after AMI and the resulting risk of death are still rising, which causes difficulties in the rehabilitation of AMI patients after reperfusion. ⋯ This study will provide an important basis for the application of traditional Chinese medicine in patients with AMI after reperfusion and provide an evidence-based basis for the prevention and treatment strategy of HF after AMI.

Randomized Controlled Trial
A clinical application study of a stent placement assessment.
Atherosclerotic acute carotid occlusion is a specific type of stroke, and controversy exists regarding the surgical strategy, that is, whether an internal carotid artery stent should be placed immediately after opening the occluded vessel. There is no objective evaluation system for this procedure. In a previous study, we summarized an evaluation decision system Emergent Carotid Artery Stent placement decision Evaluation System (ECASES) for emergency stent placement. ⋯ Currently, no prospective controlled data exist regarding the efficacy and safety of carotid stenting in the acute phase. Previously, we had developed an ECASES stent placement system for acute carotid artery occlusion. The present study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ECASES in a randomized, double-blind prospective study and clarify its guiding significance in acute atherosclerotic carotid artery occlusion surgery.
