Acupuncture and moxibustion (AM) are utilized to treat Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, no bibliometric analysis has explored this issue. Thus, this study investigated the status, hotspots and trends of AM in the treatment of AD. ⋯ This bibliometric study identified relevant hotspots and trends in research on AM in the treatment of AD, which can provide researchers with key information in this domain and help further explore new research directions.

The laparoscopic approaches using the triangular anastomosis technique for sigmoid colon cancer (SCC) are rare. This CONSORT study explored the short-term effects of laparoscopic radical resection of SCC with modified triangular anastomosis technique and laparoscopic-assisted small incision colon cancer reconstruction surgery. From April 2019 to January 2021, a total of 86 patients with SCC who were admitted to Luopu County People's Hospital were selected and received radical resection. ⋯ However, there was no significant difference in the number of lymph node dissections between the 2 groups (P > .05). After 3 months of follow-up, no local tumor recurrence, distant tumor metastasis, abdominal wall puncture implantation, and death were found in the 2 groups of patients. It is indicated that the improved triangular anastomosis technique for complete laparoscopic radical resection of SCC is effective in treatment for SCC.

Risk factors for postoperative delirium in elderly urological patients: A meta-analysis.
Avoiding postoperative delirium (POD) can have a significant detrimental effect on the rehabilitation and prognosis of elderly urological patients. It is necessary to explore the risk factors associated with POD in elderly urology to provide a basis for clinical recognition of delirium. ⋯ The risk factors for POD in elderly urological patients include history of delirium, preoperative use of psychotropic drugs, and age. The present study provides guidance for taking targeted preventive measures to reduce risks.
