To explore the efficacy of Danshen injection combined with calcitriol and calcium/Vitamin-D in the treatment of osteoporotic fractures. ⋯ Danshen injection combined with calcitriol and calcium/Vitamin-D for the treatment of osteoporotic fractures can effectively reduce inflammation, regulate bone metabolism, and improve fracture treatment efficacy with a favorable safety profile.
-
To investigate whether the preoperative controlling nutritional status (COUNT) score is a prognostic factor of patients with high-risk factors for early-stage cervical cancer after surgery and concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). ⋯ High preoperative CONUT score indicates poor prognosis of patients with high-risk factors for early-stage cervical cancer after surgery and postoperative CCRT. In clinical practice, consolidation chemotherapy is recommended for patients with high CONUT scores.
-
To compare the efficacy of CalliSphere drug-eluting beads (DEBs) and conventional (c) transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). ⋯ In the treatment of HCC, Callisphere DEB-TACE has better efficacy and longer patient survival with fewer adverse reactions compared to cTACE.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) seriously influences the health of mothers and babies, and there are still no effective early diagnostic markers. Therefore, our study planned to probe the correlation between serum microRNA-122 and VEGF expression and pregnancy outcome in GDM patients. ⋯ The higher serum miR-122 and VEGF levels in GDM patients with satisfactory blood glucose control, the greater the probability of adverse pregnancy outcome, which should be paid attention to by clinicians.
-
To investigate the relationship between baseline, mean platelet volume (MPV) and prognosis of patients with acute mild cerebral infarction undergoing intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase. ⋯ Baseline MPV is an independent risk factor for early neurological deterioration and three months poor prognosis in patients with acute mild cerebral infarction undergoing intravenous thrombolysis.
