Treatment of acute basilar artery occlusion by retrograde puncture via the vertebral artery approach: A care-compliant case report.

Background: Vertebral artery stump syndrome (VASS) is a cause of acute stroke. Owing to the particularity of the pathogenesis of VASS, interventional treatment of VASS is difficult. Common mechanical thrombectomy approaches include femoral and radial artery approaches.

Effects of and prognostic factors affecting endovascular mechanical thrombectomy of acute vertebrobasilar artery occlusion.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical outcome and factors affecting the prognosis of endovascular mechanical thrombectomy of acute vertebrobasilar artery occlusion.

Materials And Methods: Eighty-three patients with acute vertebrobasilar artery occlusion were treated with endovascular mechanical thrombectomy, and the recanalization rate, clinical outcomes at three months, modified DWI-PC-ASPECTS, and MRA-BATMAN scores were analyzed.

Results: Following acute mechanical thrombectomy, the TICI 2B-3 score was achieved in all patients (100%).

Comparison of the Effects of TIPS versus BRTO on Bleeding Gastric Varices: A Meta-Analysis.

Unlabelled: . Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is a threat to patients with gastric varices (GVs). Previous studies have concluded that both transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) and balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) are effective treatments for patients with GV.

Timing and approaches in congenital cataract surgery: a four-year, two-layer randomized controlled trial.

Aim: To compare visual prognoses and postoperative adverse events of congenital cataract surgery performed at different times and using different surgical approaches.

Methods: In this prospective, randomized controlled trial, we recruited congenital cataract patients aged 3mo or younger before cataract surgery. Sixty-one eligible patients were randomly assigned to two groups according to surgical timing: a 3-month-old group and a 6-month-old group.

Comparison between laparoscopic partial nephrectomy and laparoscopic ablation therapy: a meta-analysis.

Objective: To conduct a meta-analysis of the literature evaluating comparisons on the peri-operative and oncological outcomes between laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) and laparoscopic ablation therapy (LAT) in the treatment of small renal masses (SRMs).

Material And Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, and CNKI were searched for clinical trials comparing LPN with LAT. Data of peri-operative and follow-up outcomes were extracted and compared.

Temperature-dependent development and reproduction of a novel stored product psocid, Liposcelis badia (Psocoptera: Liposcelididae).

Liposcelis badia Wang, Wang, and Lienhard was firstly recorded as a novel species of Liposcelididae in 2006 in China. In this study, the development, survival, and reproduction of L. badia were evaluated at eight constant temperatures (between 20 and 37.

[Identification of immunological effector cells after autologous cytokine-induced killer cells treatment and its clinical implication in hepatocellular carcinoma patients].

Objective: To investigate the alteration of the cellular profiles of T lymphocyte subsets and dendritic cell subsets in peripheral blood of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients after being transfused with autologous cytokine-induced killer cells (CIK) in patients, then to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the immune therapeutic strategy.

Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 13 patients with primary were collected using blood cell separator, and expanded in the fresh AIM-V medium in the presence of cytokine cocktail including interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), monoclonal antibody (mAb) against CD3 and interleukin-2 (IL-2). The phenotypic patterns of CIK cells were longitudinally characterized by flow cytometry on day 0, 4, 7, 10,13 and 15 during the incubation period.
