A comparison of the treatment outcomes of cerebral gas embolism at 2.8 ATA in comparison with 6 ATA.

Objective: To investigate the effect of 6 ATA air/ oxygen treatment scheme and 2.8 ATA oxygen inhalation scheme on cerebral gas embolism.

Methods: 29 patients with cerebral gas embolism admitted from January 2014 to June 2022 were retrospectively included.

Safety and recommendation of voriconazole for invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in severe liver disease patients: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is a common opportunistic infection in patients with severe liver disease (SLD), which increases the mortality of patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of voriconazole for IPA in patients with SLD and explore an optimal antifungal regimen.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of SLD patients diagnosed with proven or probable IPA at Beijing Youan Hospital, Capital Medical University between January 1, 2012 to January 31, 2023.

Optimizing natural human-derived decellularized tissue materials for periodontal bone defect repair.

Periodontal disease is a major contributor to tooth loss worldwide in adults. Particularly, periodontal bone defect is a common clinical condition, yet current therapeutic strategies exhibit limited effectiveness. Recently, natural bone graft materials have attracted considerable interest for enhancing bone defect repair due to their superior biocompatibility and osteogenic capabilities.

Basophils may as a risk factor for upper gastrointestinal cancer: a Mendelian randomization (MR) study.

Objective: Upper gastrointestinal (UGI) cancers, including esophageal (EC) and gastric (GC) cancers, pose a significant global health challenge. Previous studies have indicated a fundamental correlation between basophil count and the risk of UGI cancer. However, confirming a causal relationship demands further investigation.

The causal relationship between immune cells and hepatocellular carcinoma: a Mendelian randomization (MR).

Objective: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a complex and multifaceted disease that is increasingly prevalent globally. The involvement of immune cells in the tumour microenvironment has been linked to the progression of HCC, but the exact cause-and-effect relationship is not yet clear. In this study, we utilise Mendelian randomization (MR) to investigate the potential causal links between immune factors and the development of HCC.
