Article Synopsis
- Researchers wanted to see how using electroacupuncture (a form of acupuncture that uses electricity) at certain points in the brain could help improve neuron damage and reduce inflammation in mice that are similar to those with Alzheimer's disease.
- They did tests on two groups of mice: one group received the electroacupuncture treatment while the other group did not, and they measured learning and memory skills, as well as the health of brain cells.
- The results showed that the mice that received the electroacupuncture were better at escaping a water maze (indicating better memory) and had healthier brain cells compared to the mice that didn't receive the treatment.
Purpose: We compared the clinical outcomes of modified procedures for associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) based on a risk-reduced strategy with those of classic ALPPS procedures in treating large liver carcinoma.
Materials And Methods: Short-term outcomes, increases in future liver remnant (FLR) and functional FLR (FFLR), and overall survival (OS) were compared between 45 consecutive patients treated with modified ALPPS procedures and 34 patients treated with classic ALPPS procedures.
Results: Clinical outcomes after the 1st-stage operation markedly improved with the modified procedures.
