Background: Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (pNEN) poses significant challenges in clinical management due to their heterogeneity and limited treatment options. In this study, we investigated the potential of simvastatin (SIM) as an anti-tumor agent in pNEN.
Methods: We conducted cell culture experiments using QGP-1 and BON-1 cell lines and assessed cell viability, proliferation, migration, and invasion following SIM treatment.
Background: In addition to insulin resistance, impaired insulin secretion has recently been identified as a crucial factor in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Scarce clinical data exist for pediatric T2DM.
Aim: To investigate the association of β-cell function and insulin resistance with pediatric T2DM in the first Chinese multicenter study.
Background And Aims: Developing a preoperative prediction model for estimating the risk of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients before pancreaticoduodenectomy is a difficult task. The purpose of current study was to develop a prognostic nomogram based on inflammatory markers for PDAC patients.
Methods: Cox regression analysis was performed to calculate the overall survival (OS) and assess the prognostic factors based on 265 PDAC patients undergone surgery.
Objective: To observe the therapeutic effect of oblique needling in combination with Tuina at the sacroiliac joint for patients experiencing sacroiliac joint injury.
Methods: One hundred and twenty patients with sacroiliac joint injury were randomized into routine Tuina group and oblique needling combined with Tuina (Acu+ Tuina) group (n = 60 in each group). For patients of the Tuina group, routine Tuina as rotating, pressing-rubbing, digital pressing, articular moving, etc.
