[Assessment of curve flexibility in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis before operation].
To compare the effects in assessing the curve flexibility of the adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and predicting the outcomes of operation among different radiological techniques: supine lateral bending (SB), traction (Tr), and fulcrum bending radiographs. ⋯ Fulcrum-bending radiography can better assess the flexibility and correction rate of thoracic curves in AIS, however, it can only predict those in moderate thoracic curves. Fulcrum-bending radiograph and SB radiograph are similar in predicting the flexibility in lumbar curves.

[Toll-like receptor 4 signal pathway may be involved in cerebral ischemic tolerance induced by hypoxic preconditioning: experiment with rats].
To investigate the role of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) inflammatory signal pathway in brain ischemic tolerance induced by hypoxia preconditioning (HP). ⋯ HP induces brain ischemic tolerance via a possible mechanism of activating TLR4 signal pathway and then inhibiting inflammatory response induced by ACA.

[Cardioprotection of recombinant human erythropoietin pretreatment on ischemia-reperfused hearts and mechanism thereof: experiment with rats].
To study the cardioprotective effects of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) on heart with ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury and the possible mechanism. ⋯ RhEPO pretreatment can elicit potent cardioprotection against I-R injury, which may due in part to the suppression of NF-kappaB and AP-1 activation and downregulation of the downstream proinflammatory cytokines.

[Simultaneous modulated accelerated radiation therapy in the treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer].
To evaluate the toxicity and clinical efficacy of simultaneous modulated accelerated radiation therapy (SMART) technique for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. ⋯ SMART yields superior dose distribution over the traditional radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma at the early or advanced stages. The local-regional control was excellent and distant metastasis remains the main risk. Dose escalation to 80 Gy was safe and feasible. Toxicity of SMART is acceptable and tolerable.

Randomized Controlled Trial[Cardioprotective effects of propofol and midazolam in children with congenital heart diseases undergoing open heart surgery].
To observe the cardioprotective effects of propofol and midazolam in children with congenital heart diseases undergoing open heart surgery. ⋯ Both propofol and midazolam have protective effects for the children with congenital heart diseases undergoing open heart surgery, and propofol is superior to midazolam in the cardioprotection.
