Effects of light quality on agronomic traits, antioxidant capacity and nutritional composition of Sarcomyxa Edulis.

Sarcomyxa edulis, a notable edible and medicinal mushroom indigenous to northeast China, is celebrated for its high nutritional value and delightful taste. In this study, white light as a control and examined the effects of red, green, and blue light on the agronomic traits, antioxidant capabilities, and nutritional composition of S. edulis.

Impaired receptivity and decidualization in DHEA-induced PCOS mice.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a complex endocrine disorder, is a leading cause of female infertility. An obvious reason for infertility in PCOS women is anovulation. However, success rate with high quality embryos selected by assisted reproduction techniques in PCOS patients still remain low with a high rate of early clinical pregnancy loss, suggesting a problem in uterine receptivity.

Nitrous oxide-based techniques versus nitrous oxide-free techniques for general anaesthesia.

Background: Nitrous oxide has been used for over 160 years for the induction and maintenance of general anaesthesia. It has been used as a sole agent but is most often employed as part of a technique using other anaesthetic gases, intravenous agents, or both. Its low tissue solubility (and therefore rapid kinetics), low cost, and low rate of cardiorespiratory complications have made nitrous oxide by far the most commonly used general anaesthetic.

Humanized PA14 (a monoclonal CCR5 antibody) for treatment of people with HIV infection.

Background: PRO 140 (a humanized form of the PA14 antibody, a monoclonal CCR5 antibody) inhibits CCR5-tropic (R5) type 1 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This may be an effective new treatment with the potential to address the limitations of currently available therapies for HIV-infected patients.

Objectives: We aimed to assess the efficacy, safety, clinical disease progression and immunologic (CD4 count/percentage) and virologic (plasma HIV RNA viral load) markers of PRO 140 for HIV-infected patients in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-randomized controlled trials (quasi-RCTs).

Effect of ephedrine on intubating conditions created by propofol and rocuronium: a meta-analysis.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of ephedrine on intubation conditions (ICs) one minute after anesthesia induction using propofol and rocuronium.

Methods: PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, ISI Web of Knowledge, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Google Scholar, and other databases were searched from inception to September 2012 to collect relevant randomized clinical trials (RCTs). We evaluated the risk of bias of the included studies by the Cochrane Collaboration's risk of bias tool and analyzed the data using RevMan 5.

Monoclonal CCR5 antibody for treatment of people with HIV infection.

Background: A monoclonal CCR5 antibody, PRO 140 (a humanised form of the PA14 antibody), inhibits CCR5-tropic (R5) HIV-1. This may be an effective new treatment for HIV-infected patients, with the potential to address the limitations of currently available therapies.

Objectives: We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of PRO 140 for HIV-1-infected patients in randomised controlled trials (RCTs).

Robot-assisted laparoscope fundoplication for gastroesophageal reflux disease: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of robot-assisted fundoplication (RAF) for treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or quasi-RCTs were searched for in PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, SCI, Chinese Biomedical Database, China Academic Journals Full-Text Database, Chinese Scientific Journals Database, China online journals, and related journals. We evaluated the quality of the included studies by using the 5.
