To evaluate the clinical effects of intraperitoneal chemohyperthermia (IPCH) in the treatment of postoperative patients with advanced stage ovarian cancer, and its impacts on tumor markers and immune functions. ⋯ IPCH has the potential to effectively enhance comprehensively clinical therapeutic effects among postoperative patients with ovarian cancer, significantly improve patients' immune states, and evidently reduce expression levels of various tumor markers.
-
To determine the efficacy of modified combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy (CTT) with mitomycin-C (MMC) versus conventional CTT with MMC for intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction in patients with primary congenital glaucoma (PCG). ⋯ Our study revealed that conventional CTT with MMC showed better efficacy than modified CTT with MMC for reduction of IOP in PCG.
-
To investigate the clinical efficacy of 3D-printed fusion cage implantation in treating cervical spondylotic myelopathy. ⋯ The clinical efficacy of 3D printed intervertebral fusion cage placement in the treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy may be reliable, and it would be better than traditional intervertebral fusion cages in maintaining the height, angle, cervical Cobb angle, and fusion rate of the intervertebral space.
