The effect of supplementing with on bismuth quadruple therapy for eradicating : a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background And Objective: It remains uncertain if the addition of () to bismuth quadruple therapy (BQT) recommended in the current guidelines can enhance the () eradication rate and decrease the incidence of adverse events. We therefore conducted a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to address this issue.

Methods: We performed comprehensive searches in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane library databases from the inception of the databases through to November 1, 2023.

[Regional CT value in prediction of proximal femoral fracture].

Objective: To investigate CT values of cancellous bone in femoral neck in adults over 60 years with proximal femoral fractures.

Methods: From January 2020 to December 2020, a retrospective analysis was performed on 280 subjects aged 60 years or older who underwent bilateral hip CT examination, including 85 males and 195 females, 120 on the left side and 160 on the right side, aged 75 (66, 82) years old. One hundred thirty-six patients with proximal femoral fractures were included in study group and 144 patients without fractures were included in control group.

[Application of porous tantalum Jumbo cup in revision of hip arthroplasty].

Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of porous tantalum Jumbo cup on acetabular reconstruction in revision of total hip arthroplasty.

Methods: From September 2014 to December 2017, 18 patients(18 hips) with acetabular defect were reconstructed by porous tantalum Jumbo cup technology, including 6 males and 12 females;the age ranged from 54 to 76 years old with an average of(63.8±15.

Competing risk nomograms for nasopharyngeal carcinoma in the intensity-modulated radiotherapy era: A big-data, intelligence platform-based analysis.

Background And Purpose: Lacking quantitative evaluations of competing risk data of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), we aimed to evaluate the probability of NPC- and other cause-specific mortality (NPC-SM; OCSM) and develop competing risk nomograms to quantify survival differences.

Material And Method: Using the institutional big-data intelligence platform, 7251 NPC patients undergoing intensity-modulated radiotherapy between 2009-2014 were identified to establish nomograms based on Fine and Gray's competing risk analysis.

Results: The 5-year NPC-SM and OCSM of the cohort were 13.

A new method for identifying causal genes of schizophrenia and anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity.

Schizophrenia (SCZ) may cause tuberculosis, the treatments for which can induce anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity (ATDH) and SCZ-like disorders. To date, the causal genes of both SCZ and ATDH are unknown. To identify them, we proposed a new network-based method by integrating network random walk with restart algorithm, gene set enrichment analysis, and hypergeometric test; using this method, we identified 500 common causal genes.

Meta-Analysis-Based Preliminary Exploration of the Connection between ATDILI and Schizophrenia by GSTM1/T1 Gene Polymorphisms.

Anti-tuberculosis drugs have some adverse effects such as anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury (ATDILI) and mental disorders. The involvement of glutathione S-transferase (GST) genes in pathogenesis of ATDILI or schizophrenia (SCZ) has been reported. Therefore, GST genes may exemplify molecular connectors between ATDILI and SCZ.

The effects of SP110's associated genes on fresh cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis in Han Chinese population.

SP110 is a promising anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) gene. To investigate the effects of SP110 and its associated genes, i.e.

[Treatment of urinary tract calculi in preschool children with endoscopy].

Objectives: To investigate the safety and feasibility of endoscopy in treating urinary tract calculi in preschool children.

Methods: From August 2004 to August 2008, 28 preschool children with urinary tract calculi were treated by endoscopy, 11 cases received ureterolithotripsy (URL) and 17 cases received minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (MPCNL).

Results: Of 11 cases with ureteric calculi, 5 cases were rendered stone free in the first session, the other 6 cases received passive dilation by indwelling of ureteric stents for 1 to 3 weeks and underwent successful ureteroscopy with a 8/9.

[Treating renal carcinoma with ablation or ablation combined with 125I seed implantation: a report of eleven cases].

Background & Objective: Recently, multi-needles radiofrequency ablation and brachyradiotherapy have been used to treat some solid tumors, such as liver cancer and prostate cancer. This study was to explore the feasibility and efficacy of radiofrequency ablation or ablation combined with 125I seed implantation on treating renal carcinoma.

Methods: From Jun.

[Effects of ureteral stents on rabbit upper urinary tract urodynamics].

Objective: To explore the effects of ureteral stent placement on ureteral peristalsis and the time course of renal pelvic pressure changes.

Method: Forty rabbits were randomized equally into 8 groups, including a control group without placement of ureteral stents. The other 7 groups received ureteral stent placement, which were retained for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, and 12 weeks respectively.

[Endoscopic management of bilateral ureteral obstruction after radiotherapy].

Background & Objective: It is difficult to stent the obstructed ureters cystoscopically in patients with renal failure caused by radiotherapy for abdominal or pelvic tumors. Commonly draining the kidney with nephrostomy is the only method for the patients. However, external nephrostomy impacts on life quality of the patients.
