Meta Analysis
Silver dressing in the treatment of diabetic foot: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.
Diabetic foot (DF) is one of the most common and serious chronic complications of diabetes. At present, there are many dressings used in the treatment of the diabetic foot. Among them, silver dressings are widely used, but the conclusion has not yet been formed. The purpose of this study is to search for relevant studies on the treatment of DF with silver dressings through evidence-based medicine methods and to draw conclusions with higher levels of evidence to provide a basis for the clinical treatment of DF. ⋯ This systematic review will provide a credible evidence-based for the clinical treatment of DF with silver dressings.

Alpha B-crystallin (CRYAB), as a small heat shock protein, may play critical roles in the tumorigenesis and progression of several kinds of human cancers. However, the prognostic value of CRYAB in solid malignancies remains controversial. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between CRYAB expression and clinicopathology and prognosis of solid tumor patients. ⋯ CRYAB may serve as a valuable prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in human solid tumors.

Review Case Reports
Neonatal Kawasaki disease: Case report and literature review.
Kawasaki Disease (KD) is a self-limiting and acute systemic vasculitis of childhood that leads to coronary artery abnormality in about 25% of untreated cases. KD is extremely rare in neonates. The purpose of this paper is to explore the clinical features and diagnosis and treatment of Neonatal Kawasaki Disease for early identification. ⋯ Neonatal Kawasaki disease is extremely rare, and its clinical manifestation is not typical and easy to be missed. If not treated early, it will potentially give rise to coronary artery aneurysms or expansion, ischemic heart disease, and sudden death. Early diagnosis and treatment are very important.

Multicenter Study
Registry on extracorporeal multiple organ support with the advanced organ support (ADVOS) system: 2-year interim analysis.
The objective of this registry is to collect data on real-life treatment conditions for patients for whom multiple organ dialysis with Advanced Organ Support (ADVOS) albumin hemodialysis is indicated. This registry was performed under routine conditions and without any study-specific intervention, diagnostic procedures, or assessments. Data on clinical laboratory tests, health status, liver function, vital signs, and examinations were collected (DRKS-ID: DRKS00017068). ⋯ Data interpretation must be cautious due to the small number of patients, and the nature of the registry, without a control group. However, the data presented here show an improvement of expected mortality rates. Minor clotting events similar to other dialysis therapies occurred during the treatments.

Observational Study
Effects of end-tidal carbon dioxide levels in patients undergoing direct revascularization for Moyamoya disease and risk factors associated with postoperative complications.
A history of transient ischemic attack, severity of disease, urinary output, hematocrit, hypocapnia, and hypotension during direct revascularization (superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery [STA-MCA]) in patients with Moyamoya disease (MMD) may lead to a poor prognosis, however, to our knowledge evidence for end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) targets is lacking. Within the ranges of standardized treatment, the article was primarily designed to study the risk factors associated with the neurologic outcomes during STA-MCA for MMD especially including ETCO2 ranges and the duration in different groups. The primary goals of this study were to investigate the risk factors for neurologic deterioration and explore the association between ETCO2 ranges and neurologic outcome during general anesthesia for STA-MCA. ⋯ The ETCO2 ranges and the length of time in different groups within the current clinical setting was not associated with postoperative complications (P > .05). Within a standardized intraoperative treatment strategy, we found that postoperative complications had no significant correlation with sex, age, hypertension, diabetes, smoking history, drinking history, invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring, combined encephalomyosynangiosis, or sevoflurane use. Further, hypocapnia and hypercapnia during STA-MCA were not found to be associated with postoperative complications in patients with MMD.
