Role of three commonly used scoring systems in prediction of pulmonary thromboembolism in Xining area.
To analyze the clinical values of three commonly used scoring systems including Wells score, revised Geneva score and Pisa score in predicting pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) in Xining area. ⋯ Thus, the Pisa score showed a relatively higher clinical value in Xining area to predict clinical probability of PTE in patients, with its overall sensitivity and specificity being higher than the Wells and revised Geneva score.

Randomized Controlled TrialAcute high dose-fentanyl exposure produces hyperalgesia and tactile allodynia after coronary artery bypass surgery.
Opioid-induced hyperalgesia is well known complication of acute high dose and chronic opioid therapy. In this study, we evaluated development of opioid-induced hyperalgesia following intraoperative short-term use of µ-opioid agonist fentanyl after coronary artery bypass surgery. ⋯ Our results showed that patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery receiving fentanyl anesthesia developed postoperative tactile allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia and this was more prominent in high dose group.

Both genes and lncRNAs can be used as biomarkers of prostate cancer by using high throughput sequencing data.
To investigate prostate cancer-related genes and lncRNAs by using a high throughput sequencing dataset. ⋯ The analysis used in this study is reliable in screening prostate cancer markers including both genes and lncRNAs by using RNA-seq data, which provides new insight into the understanding of molecular mechanism of prostate cancer.
