Objective: Explore the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) combined with somatostatin in the treatment of severe pancreatitis (SAP) patients.

Methods: A retrospective study method was adopted to select 95 patients with SAP who were treated in our hospital from January 2018 to June 2022 for clinical research. Among them, 48 patients received routine treatment+somatostatin (control group), and other 47 patients received ultrasound guided PCD treatment on the basis of the control group (research group).

An electrically driven dumbbell-shaped cavity semiconductor laser laterally confined by isolation and metal layers at 635 nm has been proposed. In the simulation, we systematically analyzed the -factors, mode intensity distributions, and directionality of the dumbbell-shaped cavity. A measured speckle contrast as low as 3.

Lane boundary detection technology has progressed rapidly over the past few decades. However, many challenges that often lead to lane detection unavailability remain to be solved. In this paper, we propose a spatial-temporal knowledge filtering model to detect lane boundaries in videos.

Introduction: Adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (ADSCs) are abundant and easy to obtain, but the diversity of differentiation potential from different locations may vary with the developmental origin of their mesenchymal compartment. We therefore aim to compare the myogenic differentiation and reparative activity of ADSCs derived from the pericardial tissue to ADSCs of subcutaneous origin.

Methods: Pericardial and inguinal adipose tissues from Wistar rats were surgically obtained, and the stromal fraction was isolated after enzymatic digestion.

To analyze the efficacy of different surgical methods in treating palmar hyperhidrosis and the compensatory hyperhidrosis after surgery and to observe the efficacy of "Energy-boosting and Yin-nourishing anti-perspirant formula" on postsurgical hyperhidrosis patients. Two-hundred patients were randomly assigned to groups A (Chinese and Western medicine, T4 transection plus "Energy-boosting and Yin-nourishing anti-perspirant formula") and B (Western medicine, T4 transection). The surgical efficiency, recurrence rate, compensatory hyperhidrosis, and the long-term life quality were compared.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers collected fecal samples from 779 litters of suckling piglets across 80 farms in 17 provinces in China to study coccidian infection prevalence between September 2009 and December 2010.
  • The overall infection rate was found to be 16.7%, with the highest occurrence (19.9%) in litters that were 8-14 days old.
  • Seven coccidian species were identified in the infected piglets, with Isospora suis being the most prevalent, and over half of the infected litters had multiple species, providing essential data for future control measures against porcine coccidiosis.

Objective: To define the protective role of pericardial tissue and identify the subcellular population with potential contribution to cardiac protection after injury in a rat model.

Methods: Myocardial infarction (MI) was created by the ligation of left anterior descending artery (LAD) in rats while the pericardial sac was either completely removed (-PC, n = 10) or surgically closed after ligation (+PC, n = 8). The follow-up functional and structure benefits were analyzed by echocardiography and 2,3,5- triphenyl-2H-tetrazolium, chloride(TTC) and bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) staining.

Objective: Retrospective analyze the long-term efficacy and compensatory sweating of thoracoscopic sympathectomy in the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis by different operative methods in order to search after a better operative method.

Methods: Retrospective study of 643 cases (498 cases available) palmar hyperhidrosis who accepted video-assisted thoracoscopic bilateral sympathectomy during from 1995 to Aug 2008. The patients were divided into four groups by different operative methods.

The prevention of hyperacute rejection (HAR) triggered by interaction between the human natural antibody and xenoreactive antigenic epitope (Gal-alpha1, 3Gal) present on pig cells is the key to success in pig-to-human xenotransplantation. The phage display technology offers an effective strategy for screening peptides which can interact with the anti-Gal antibody to block alpha-Gal antigen binding site. Two peptide libraries, linear 7 peptide library and C7C library, were panned on the anti-B monoclonal antibody which has the characteristic of binding to the alpha-Gal antigenic epitope.

Objective: To observe the effects of heart transplantation.

Methods: Twelve patients undergoing orthotopic heart transplantation, one of which underwent combined heart and kidney transplantation (HKT), from June 1997 to June 2002 were followed up to observe the complications, work ability, life quality and psychic status.

Results: One of the 12 patients died of acute rejection and one died of acute renal failure during perioperative period.

The carbohydrate of Gal-alpha1,3-Gal is thought to be the major antigenic epitope present on pig vascular endothelium. The peptides that mimic the binding of antigenic epitope (Gal-alpha1,3-Gal) to lectin BS-I-B4 were identified from screening a filamentous phage-displayed random library. A phage bearing the peptide NCVSPYWCEPLAPSARA has been identified to bind the lectin strongly.
