Visualization of therapeutic intervention for acute liver injury using low-intensity pulsed ultrasound-responsive phase variant nanoparticles.

Acute liver injury (ALI) is a highly fatal condition characterized by sudden massive necrosis of liver cells, inflammation, and impaired coagulation function. Currently, the primary clinical approach for managing ALI involves symptom management based on the underlying causes. The association between excessive reactive oxygen species originating from macrophages and acute liver injury is noteworthy.

Uterine tumor resembling ovarian sex cord tumor: A rare case report.

Rationale: A uterine tumor resembling an ovarian sex cord tumor (UTROSCT) is a clinically rare disease with an unclear origin and biological behavior.

Patient Concerns: We present a case of UTROSCT in a 42-year-old woman who presented with abnormally increased menstrual volume for 2 years.

Diagnoses: Initially, only ultrasound examination was performed to diagnose uterine fibroids, and then the tumor was surgically removed and sent for pathological examination.

Catheter-directed thrombolysis plus anticoagulation versus anticoagulation alone in the treatment of proximal deep vein thrombosis - a meta-analysis.

Background: The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare the clinical outcomes of catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) plus anticoagulation with anticoagulation alone in patients with lower-extremity proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Patients And Methods: We systematically searched Pubmed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library from inception to October, 2014. All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-randomized studies comparing the clinical outcomes between additional CDT and anticoagulation alone were included.
