Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare the clinical effects of modified above-knee surgery versus conventional surgery for stripping the great saphenous vein in patients with varicose veins in the lower extremities.
  • Researchers analyzed data from surgeries performed between May 2016 and May 2018 and found no significant differences in patient characteristics, hospital stay, or surgery-related metrics between the two groups.
  • Results indicated that the modified above-knee technique had a lower incidence of nerve injury and hematoma while maintaining similar long-term outcomes in clinical severity scores, suggesting it is a beneficial alternative to conventional surgery.

Background: Quantitative data are limited on the natural course of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic HBV infection (CHB).

Aims: To estimate the prevalence of fibrosis status including non-fibrosis, significant fibrosis, advanced fibrosis, and cirrhosis throughout the natural course of CHB.

Methods: We searched Cochrane library, EMBASE, PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect from January 1993 to November 2019 for studies with histologic data on liver fibrosis in CHB natural course.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common form of chronic liver disease and its incidence is increasing worldwide. However, the underlying mechanisms leading to the development of NAFLD are still not fully understood. Glycosyltransferases (GTs) are a diverse class of enzymes involved in catalyzing the transfer of one or multiple sugar residues to a wide range of acceptor molecules.

Objective: To explore the effect of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) activation on the migration of asthmatic airway smooth muscle cell (ASMCs) induced by airway epithelial cells.

Methods: Primary ASMCs were cultured by the method of cell digestion. Cell culture supernatant of RTE cells were collected by TNF-alpha stimulation of epithelial cells.
