A systematic review of the efficacy of donepezil hydrochloride combined with nimodipine on treating vascular dementia.

Background: Vascular dementia (VaD) is a comprehensive syndrome related to the damage of cognitive function and various cerebral vascular illnesses. VaD is also generally recognized as the second most common type of dementia after Alzheimer disease, contributing to 30% of the dementia population in Asia and developing countries. The ability of donepezil hydrochloride and nimodipine had been respectively proven in improving cognitive function in vascular dementia.

Spin-Decoupled Transflective Spatial Light Modulations Enabled by a Piecewise-Twisted Anisotropic Monolayer.

Wavefront control lies at the heart of modern optics. Metasurfaces with specifically tailored resonators can encode different phases to two orthogonal polarization components, but suffer from wavelength-dependent efficiency, sophisticated fabrication, and limited size. Liquid crystals, another excellent candidate for planar optics, are restricted to spin-coupled conjugated phase modulations.

Microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) modified fish gelatin-γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA): Rheological behavior, gelling properties, and structure.

Fish gelatin (FG) has been extensively studied as a potential substitute for mammal gelatin. However, FG often requires different modification methods to change its physical and chemical properties due to its low gelling properties. Here, γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA) and microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) were combined to modify FG to improve its gelling properties.

Gut microbiota: an overlooked factor that plays a significant role in osteoporosis.

Gut microbes are known as the body’s second gene pool. Symbiotic intestinal bacteria play a major role in maintaining balance in humans. Bad eating habits, antibiotic abuse, diseases, and a poor living environment have a negative effect on intestinal flora.

Colon angiolipoma with intussusception: a case report and literature review.

Angiolipomas are frequently observed benign tumors. They have a typical vascular component and are often located in subcutaneous tissues, and more rarely, in the gastrointestinal tract. We present the case of a 58-year-old man who complained of abdominal discomfort in the left lower quadrant and two to three bloody stools a day without any obvious etiology.

Giant solitary fibrous tumor arising from greater omentum.

Extrathoracic solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) have been described at almost every anatomic location of human body, but reports of SFT in the abdominal cavity are rare. We herein present a rare case of SFT originating from greater omentum. Computed tomography revealed a 15.

[Treadmill exercise test in patients with coronary artery myocardial bridging].

Objective: To observe treadmill exercise test (TET) characteristics in patients with myocardial bridging (MB).

Methods: TET results from January 2003 to December 2010 were retrospectively analyzed in 156 patients with confirmed MB diagnosis. MB patients were divided into smoking group (68 cases) and non-smoking group (88 cases).

[The relationship between orthodontic treatment and temporomandibular disorders].

Purpose: To explore the relationship between orthodontic treatment and temporomandibular joint disorder(TMD).

Methods: The questionnaire and clinical examination were administered in 173 cases who underwent orthodontic treatment (orthodontic group),95 cases with morphologic malocclusion(malocclusion group) and 32 cases with normal occlusion (normal group) to collect symptoms and signs of TMD, the data were analyzed in the databases designed according to the modified Helkimo indices. SPSS10.

[Intratumor bleomycin-A5 injection under electrolaryngoscope for treatment of large laryngopharyngeal and laryngeal hemangioma].

Objective: To study the therapeutic effect of bleomycin-A5 injection under eletrolaryngoscope for treatment of large laryngopharyngeal and laryngeal hemangioma.

Methods: Intratumor bleomycin-A5 injection under eletrolaryngoscope was performed in 18 cases of large laryngopharyngeal and laryngeal hemangioma with surface anaesthesia, for totally 7 to 14 (mean 10.2) injections in each case.

[The bond properties of Vitadur alpha on dental zirconia framework material].

Purpose: To evaluate the bond properties of Vitadur alpha on dental zirconia framework material.

Methods: Vitadur alpha was sintered on the surface of four groups' presintered zirconia ceramic plates which were dealt with respective procedures. SEM, energy distribution spectrum and thermal shock test were applied to evaluate the sintering properties of such interfaces.
