Article Synopsis
- Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is a common and chronic condition that often does not respond to traditional anti-epileptic medications, with recent research highlighting the role of acetylcholine and its receptors in epilepsy's development.
- Cytisine, a compound that activates specific nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, was tested in a study on pilocarpine-induced epileptic rats, showing potential benefits in reducing seizures, preventing hippocampal damage, and improving cognitive function.
- The study's results suggest that cytisine's effectiveness is linked to its activation of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, decreasing harmful glutamate levels and improving cholinergic activity, making it a promising candidate for treating TLE and indicating α7n
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.

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.
