Diagnostic value of combined detection of serum neuron-specific enolase and homocysteine in patients with coronary atherosclerosis.

Background: The aim of this paper was to investigate the diagnostic significance and severity assessment of serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE) combined with homocysteine (Hcy) for patients with coronary atherosclerosis (coronary artery disease, CAD).

Methods: Two hundred sixty-three patients with coronary artery disease were selected as the research group, and 400 healthy individuals who underwent physical examination during the same period were taken as the control group. Electrochemiluminescence immunoassay and biochemical analyzer were employed to detect the serum NSE and Hcy levels of all subjects.

Terlipressin for the treatment of acute variceal bleeding: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background And Aim: Acute variceal bleeding (AVB) is life-threatening. We aimed to systematically review the current evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of terlipressin for AVB in liver cirrhosis.

Methods: We searched the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases.

ABO blood type and risk of hepatocellular carcinoma: a meta-analysis.

Background: ABO blood type is an invariant factor. There is a link between ABO blood type and some malignancies, such as gastric, pancreatic, and skin cancer. The role of ABO blood type in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains controversial.

[Gas chromatographic determination of micro organic impurities in 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride].

A simple, rapid and reliable method for the determination of micro organic impurities, epichlorohydrin and 1,3-dichloropropanol, in 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (CHPTMA) by gas chromatography is reported. 2-Ethylhexanol was the internal standard. Epichlorohydrin and 1,3-dichloropropanol in CHPTMA were extracted by chloroform.
