Emerging strategies in outpatient endoscopy sedation management: Recent trends and developments.

In this article we comment on the article by Walayat . Outpatient endoscopy has become vital in modern healthcare, providing efficient diagnostic and therapeutic interventions with minimal patient disruption. This study highlighted the key developments in sedation management, focusing on risk stratification and procedural settings to enhance safety.

Preoperative 3D printing planning technology combined with orthopedic surgical robot-assisted minimally invasive screw fixation for the treatment of pelvic fractures: a retrospective study.

Objective: To explore the advantages and effectiveness of preoperative 3D printing planning technology combined with orthopedic surgical robot-assisted screw placement in the minimally invasive treatment of pelvic fractures compared to orthopedic surgical robot-assisted screw placement alone.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 29 patients with unstable pelvic fractures treated with orthopedic surgical robot-assisted percutaneous screw fixation from July 2021 to August 2023 was conducted. Among them, 13 patients who underwent preoperative 3D printing technology for screw planning were assigned to the experimental group, and the remaining 16 patients were assigned to the control group.

Fangji Fuling Decoction Alleviates Sepsis by Blocking MAPK14/FOXO3A Signaling Pathway.

Objective: To examine the therapeutic effect of Fangji Fuling Decoction (FFD) on sepsis through network pharmacological analysis combined with in vitro and in vivo experiments.

Methods: A sepsis mouse model was constructed through intraperitoneal injection of 20 mg/kg lipopolysaccharide (LPS). RAW264.

Two new alkaloids from a strain of endophytic fungus sp.

19-Hydroxybrevianamide M (1) and 6 R-methoxybrevianamide V (2), two new alkaloids, were isolated from an extract of the endophytic fungus sp. JNU18HC0517J, together with six known analogues (). Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses, NMR calculations, and ECD calculations.

Recent Advances and Perspective of Nanotechnology-Based Implants for Orthopedic Applications.

Bioimplant engineering strives to provide biological replacements for regenerating, retaining, or modifying injured tissues and/or organ function. Modern advanced material technology breakthroughs have aided in diversifying ingredients used in orthopaedic implant applications. As such, nanoparticles may mimic the surface features of real tissues, particularly in terms of wettability, topography, chemistry, and energy.

Efficacy and safety of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants for venous thromboembolism: a meta-analysis.

Objective: Several trials had compared the efficacy and safety between non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants and warfarin for acute venous thromboembolism, but the results were incomplete. This updated review comprehensively assessed the efficacy and safety of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants for venous thromboembolism.

Design: Meta-analysis of randomised control trials.

HMGB1 promotes bone fracture healing through activation of ERK signaling pathway in a rat tibial fracture model.

This work was to investigate potential roles of HMGB1-mediated ERK pathway in the healing process of bone fracture. Rat tibial fracture models were established and divided into control (rats with normal saline), HMGB1 (rats with HMGB1), and HMGB1+ PD98059 groups (rats with HMGB1 and 1 mg/kg of ERK1/2 inhibitor PD98059) with 30 rats per each. The healing of rats' fracture was observed by X-ray films, the morphological changes of bone fractures by HE staining, the callus formation by micro-CT and biomechanical test, and the expression of osteogenesis-related genes, HMGB1 and ERK-related proteins by qRT-PCR and Western blot.

[Effect of qi benefiting stasis removing method on systemic inflammatory response and coagulation function in MODS patients].

Objective: To observe the effect of qi benefiting stasis removing method (QBSRM) on systemic inflammatory response and coagulation function in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) patients.

Methods: Totally 40 MODS patients who were admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine between May 2010 to December 2011 were randomly assigned to two groups, the experimental group (21 cases) and the control group (19 cases). Patients in the control group were treated with routine Western therapy, while those in the experimental group additionally took decoction for benefiting qi removing stasis.
