Article Synopsis
  • Nucleoside analogs are the main antiviral drugs used for treating feline herpesvirus-1 (FHV-1), but they face issues like drug resistance and a limited mechanism of action.
  • This research highlights the need for new antiviral drugs and investigates natural compounds that can effectively target the virus's glycoprotein B (gB) using techniques like Bio-layer interferometry (BLI).
  • The study found that compounds Saikosaponin B2, Punicalin, and Punicalagin demonstrated strong antiviral effects against FHV-1 without being toxic to cells, particularly by preventing the virus from entering cells in the early stages of infection.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the clinical value of ultrasonography combined with tumor markers in the diagnosis and prediction of recurrence of borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) and analyze the value of the combination of two different auxiliary examinations in the diagnosis and prediction of recurrence of BOTs.

Methods: Here, 221 patients with BOTs confirmed by postoperative pathology were enrolled. Their clinical data, including the ultrasonography features, tumor markers, and clinicopathological data, were retrospectively analyzed.

Objective: The treatment and incidence of femoral neck fracture (FNF) in older patients is controversial. We investigated the new AO (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthese) classification in patients with FNF by age to determine the proportions of stable fracture and change trends according to patients' age.

Methods: We divided patients with FNF hospitalized in Xi'an Honghui Hospital from 2018 to 2020 into five groups according to age: young (<50 years), middle-aged (50-59 years), young-elderly (60-69 years), middle-elderly (70-79 years), and very elderly (≥80 years) groups.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the clinical and pathological characteristics, and the recurrence and prognostic factors of borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs).

Methods: The data of 286 patients admitted to hospital and followed up for more than ten months were analyzed retrospectively to study the clinicopathological characteristics and related factors of recurrence.

Results: The median age of the patients was 42.

Objective: This study was performed to observe the effect of internal Balser plate fixation for treating unstable sternoclavicular joints (SCJ) and displaced medial clavicle fractures.

Methods: From April 2009 to September 2016, 17 consecutive patients who underwent open reduction and internal Balser plate fixation for SCJ dislocations or medial clavicle fractures were retrospectively reviewed. There were 11 male and six female patients, with a mean age of 45.

Objective: To investigate the clinical results of locking compression plate combined with autologous iliac bone graft in the treatment of aseptic ulnar nonunion.

Methods: From March 2009 to July 2017, 22 patients with aseptic ulnar diaphyseal nonunion with complete follow-up data were treated with surgery, including 12 males and 10 females, aged from 16 to 58 (39.7±9.

Objectives: Total hip arthroplasty is a reliable therapeutic intervention in patients with ankylosing spondylitis, in whom the aims of surgery are to reduce pain, restore hip function and improve quality of life. The current study is a retrospective analysis of the clinical and radiographic findings in a consecutive series of patients with hip ankylosis associated with severe ankylosing spondylitis who underwent bilateral primary total hip arthroplasty using non-cemented components.

Methods: From June 2008 to May 2012, total hip arthroplasty was performed on 34 hips in 17 patients with bilateral ankylosis caused by ankylosing spondylitis.

Purpose: Syringomyelia with coexisting intraspinal abnormities is thought to increase the risk of neurologic injury during surgical correction of the scoliosis. However, surgical treatment for intraspinal abnormities carries significant morbidity risks including worsening neurological function and wound complications. The authors' aim in this study was to evaluate one-stage posterior correction of scoliosis in this patient population without prophylactic surgical treatment for neural axis malformations before scoliosis correction.

Objective: To observe the mRNA expression of p75NTR (p75 neurotrophin receptor) and the amount of neuronal cells apoptosis in lumbar-sacral spinal cord at different time points after the acute cauda equina compression in rats and to explore their correlation.

Methods: Sixty adult female Sprague Dawley(SD) rats were randomly divided into the normal control group and the compression groups. The acute cauda equine compression model was established as placing a silicon gel rubber at L(3,4) level of the vertebral canal which represented about 70% to 80% compression to the cross section.
