Background: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of low molecular weight heparin calcium (LMWH-Ca) on the prevention of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in patients with anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap reconstruction.
Methods: In total, 1001 patients with oral cancer who underwent ALT flap reconstruction were recruited. Based on the postoperative use of LMWH-Ca, the patients were divided into case (n = 633) and control groups (n = 368).
In South and Southeast Asia, the habit of chewing betel nuts is prevalent, which leads to oral submucous fibrosis (OSF). OSF is a well-established precancerous lesion, and a portion of OSF cases eventually progress to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, the specific molecular mechanisms underlying the malignant transformation of OSCC from OSF are poorly understood.

We aimed to compare the effect of minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) and Crenel lateral interbody fusion (CLIF) on single segmental lumbar degenerative disease. Patients with single segmental lumbar degenerative disease undergoing MIS-TLIF (n = 28) and CLIF (n = 28) were enrolled from April to October 2017. Preoperative medical history, anthropometric data, and clinical data were recorded.

Objective: To investigate the expression of interleukin-17 (IL-17) in zoledronic acid combined with PVP technology for patients with postmenopausal osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) and its predictive value for relapse.
Methods: 101 OVCF patients treated in our hospital from April 2013 to January 2015 were collected as a research group and treated by zoledronic acid combined with PVP technology. 80 healthy people with physical examination were assigned to the control group.
