[Long-term follow-up of elderly patients with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis treated by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with stent implantation].
To evaluate the long-term effects of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty with stent (PTRAS) on hypertension and renal function in elderly patients with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS). ⋯ PTRAS is beneficial in the control of blood pressure in elderly ARAS patients within 36 months after operation. The post-PTRAS improvement of renal function in elderly patients is limited.

[Value of metastatic lymph node ratio in predicting the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer patients].
To investigate the relationship between the metastatic lymph node ratio (LNR) and the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). ⋯ LNR may be used to accurately predict the prognosis, guide the treatment of NSCLC and improve its staging.

Clinical Trial[Effect of continuous renal replacement therapy started at different time on patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome].
To explore the effects of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) on serum cytokines and prognosis in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) patients based on different therapeutic opportunities. ⋯ Regulating the ratio of anti-inflammatory/pro-inflammatory mediators is critical in the immunomodulation of CRRT. And CRRT may provide more clinical benefits in the early phase (0 - 3 days) of MODS.

[Effects of gabapentin on high-voltage-activated calcium current in dorsal root ganglion neurons in rats].
To compare the effects of gabapentin on high-voltage-activated calcium (HVA) current in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons in normal and nerve-injured rats and understand the reasons of their differences. ⋯ Gabapentin enhances the inhibition of HVA-Ca(2+) current in injured DRG neurons following spinal nerve ligation in rats. The alteration in the activation of electrophysiological properties and the increase of N-type relative contribution to the total HVA-Ca(2+) current may be involved in the mechanism.

[Preliminary report on lateral ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction or repair for treatment of posterolateral rotatory instability of elbow].
To explore the preliminary results of lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL) reconstruction or repair for posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI) of elbow. ⋯ An accurate recognition of PLRI of elbow is important for its appropriate management. Tendon graft is recommended for the reconstruction of LUCL. Surgical ligament reconstruction or repair is the preferred treatment option for restoring normal functions and elbow stability. Further studies are warranted because of a limited number of patients in the present study.
