Objective: To explore the hepatoprotective effect of diammonium glycyrrhizinate (DG) in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis.
Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of clinical data of 113 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, admitted to The First People's Hospital of Linping District from March 2020 to December 2022. Among them, 55 patients who received conventional anti-tuberculosis treatment (2HRZE/4HR) alone were assigned to the Routine group, while 58 patients who received anti-tuberculosis treatment combined with DG treatment were assigned to the DG group.
The present study aimed to explore the clinical value of color Doppler ultrasound combined with serum tumor markers, including calcitonin (CT) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), for the diagnosis of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). A total of 39 patients with MTC (MTC group), 50 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) (PTC group) and 30 patients with thyroid adenoma (benign control group) were enrolled in the present study. The patients were hospitalized at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2012 to December 2018 and were diagnosed through surgical procedures and pathology laboratory results.

The present study evaluated the effects of lncRNA PVT1 on hypoxic rat H9c2 cells.
Methods: Hypoxic injury was examined by measuring cell viability and apoptosis by using cell counting kit-8 activity and flow cytometry assays.
