Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how combining intermittent fasting and pulsed radiofrequency energy (PRFE) can enhance healing in diabetic wounds, aiming to develop innovative treatments for diabetes-related injuries.
- Using diabetic mouse models, researchers tested the effects of fasting and PRFE over multiple days, measuring various healing factors such as wound closure rates, cell growth, and blood vessel formation.
- Results showed that the combination therapy significantly improved wound healing compared to individual treatments, effectively promoting cell migration, reducing oxidative stress, and encouraging the growth of nerves and blood vessels.
Background: The indication and extent of selective lateral neck dissection (LND) for cN1a papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) remain uncertain. The present study aimed to identify potential predictors and distribution pattern of lateral lymph node recurrence (LLNR) after central neck dissection in cN1a PTC patients.
Methods: The cN1a PTC patients who underwent initial central neck dissection at our centre were retrospectively reviewed, and the median follow-up period was 6.
Atherosclerosis is a common form of cardiovascular disease, which is one of the most prevalent causes of death worldwide, particularly among older individuals. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for severe stenotic lesions, though the rate of restenosis remains relatively high. Current medication therapy for atherosclerosis has limited efficacy in reversing the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.

It is characterized by heightened endothelial apoptosis and impaired angiogenesis. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of protein kinase Cδ (PKCδ) in regulating endothelial apoptosis in diabetic wounds by promoting cholesterol biosynthesis.

Objective: This study focused on the efficacy and safety of thalidomide for patients with β-thalassemia in a multicenter trial.
Methods: Patients with non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia (NTDT) or transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT), who were unable to pursue conventional therapy with transfusion and chelation, were recruited over 3 years in three centers in southern China. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of thalidomide in the short-term (three months) and long-term follow-up (12 and 24 months).
Background: The roles of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) -765G > C (rs20417) and -1195G > A (rs689466) polymorphisms in gastric cancer were intensively analyzed, but the results of these studies were inconsistent. We conducted a meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis to elucidate the associations between these two COX2 polymorphisms and gastric cancer risk.
Methods: Eligible studies were searched in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library databases, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Vip, and Wanfang databases.
