Clinical characteristics and effects of inhaled corticosteroid in patients with post-COVID-19 chronic cough during the Omicron variant outbreak.

Background: Chronic cough is a common symptom in patients post the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In this study, we aimed to investigate the efficacy of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and the clinical characteristics of patients with post-COVID-19 chronic cough during the Omicron era.

Methods: An ambispective, longitudinal cohort study was conducted that included patients with post-COVID-19 who attended the respiratory clinic at our hospital between January 1, 2023, and March 31, 2023 with a complaint of persistent cough lasting more than 8 weeks.

[Comparison of clinical efficacy of subchondral blocking technique combined with plate-screw biplanar fixation and simple plate-screw support peripheral block fixation in the treatment of complex posterior wall acetabular fracture].

Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of subchondral blocking technique combined with plate and screw biplane fixation in the treatment of complex acetabular posterior wall fractures.

Methods: From July 2015 to December 2019, a total of 47 cases of acetabular posterior wall fractures were treated. According to the different internal fixation techniques, they were divided into the external blocking fixation group supported by lateral plate and screw(control group of 23 cases) and the subchondral blocking technique combined with lateral plate and screw support biplane fixation group(study group of 24 cases).

[Effect analysis of trajectory screw technique in fragility fracture of pelvic ring].

Objective: To assess the clinical efficacy of minimally invasive technology with trajectory screw fixation for fragility fractures of pelvic(FFP).

Methods: A retrospective case control study was performed to analyze the clinical data of 35 patients with FFP who were treated and followed up between January 2016 and December 2019. There were 12 males and 23 females, aged from 65 to 99 years with an average of(75.

[Analysis of clinical effects of iliolumbar fixation in treating U-shaped sacral fractures].

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of iliolumbar fixation in the treatment of U-shaped sacral fractures.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on the 14 complex U-shaped sacral fractures which had been treated from January 2014 to December 2019, involved 10 males and 4 females, aged 24 to 48 (35.4±6.

Plasma and intracerebral pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics modeling for the acetylcholine releasing effect of ginsenoside Rg1 in mPFC of A model rats.

Ginsenoside Rg1 is a major bioactive component of ginseng. Limited information is available regarding Rg1 concentrations in the central neural system and the corresponding relationship of plasma/intracerebral concentrations, and intracerebral effects of Rg1. Awake Aβ model rats received a single subcutaneous administration of Rg1.

Advantage of surgical intensive care unit (SICU) predominant by cardiothoracic surgeons in multiple trauma management in a primary hospital.

Purpose: It is a challenge for the primary hospitals to manage multiple trauma patients. In this article, we explored the advantage of establishing a surgical intensive care unit (SICU) predominant by cardiothoracic surgeons in the early management of multiple trauma.

Methods: This was a retrospective study and patients with multiple trauma in our hospital were collected and divided into two groups, based on time period and treat modes: group A (retrospective observation group) where patients were treated with the traditional treatment mode from January 2017 to December 2017 and group B (study group) where patients were treated in the SICU predominant by cardiothoracic surgeons from January 2018 to December 2018.

[Progress on diagnosis and treatment of cartilage injury of the talus].

The diagnosis of osteochondral lesions of the talus can be based on the patients' symptoms, medical history, MRI, detailed physical examination and arthroscopy. Its treatment includes conservative treatment and surgical treatment. Conservative treatment includes rest, partial-weight bearing, plaster immobilization, wear the orthopedic support, take the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and so on.

[Effect evaluation of over 5 year follow up of unilateral pedicle screw fixation with transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion for lumbar degenerative diseases].

Objective: To evaluate the clinical effects of over 5 year follow up of unilateral pedicle screw fixation with transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion(TLIF) in treating lumbar degenerative diseases.

Methods: The clinical data of 24 patients with lumbar degenerative disease underwent unilateral pedicle screw fixation with transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion from March 2007 to October 2009, were retrospectively analyzed. There were 13 males and 11 females, aged from 34 to 68 years old with an average of 52 years.

Effects of cadmium on bioaccumulation and biochemical stress response in rice (Oryza sativa L.).

This study investigated the effects of various Cd concentrations on the bioaccumulation, antioxidative defense, and stress responses of rice (Oryza sativa L.). The distribution characteristics of Cd in rice were in the following order: roots>stems>grains.

Effects of Cu(2+) and Zn(2+) on growth and physiological characteristics of green algae, Cladophora.

Effects of various concentrations of Cu(2+) and Zn(2+) (0.0, 0.1, 0.

Hsf4 counteracts Hsf1 transcription activities and increases lens epithelial cell survival in vitro.

The interplay between Hsf4 and Hsf1 plays an important role in the regulation of lens homeostasis. However, the mechanism of the intermolecular association involved is still unclear. In this paper, we find that reconstitution of Hsf4b into Hsf4-/- lens epithelial (mLEC/Hsf4-/-) cells can simultaneously downregulate Hsp70 expression and upregulate the expression of small heat shock proteins Hsp25 and αB-crystallin at both RNA and protein levels.

Effects of lead on tolerance, bioaccumulation, and antioxidative defense system of green algae, Cladophora.

Effects of various concentrations (0.5, 1.0, 2.

[Classification and diagnostic prediction of colorectal cancer using protein profiling of serum and bioinformatics].

Objective: To develop a bioinformatic tool and to use it to identify proteomic patterns in serum, distinguishing colorectal cancer from colorectal adenoma and healthy individuals.

Methods: 182 serum samples including 55 colorectal cancer patients, 35 colorectal adenoma and 92 healthy individuals were subjected to analysis by surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization (SELDI) mass spectrometry.

Result: The diagnostic pattern combined of 4 candidate biomarkers (M/Z 5911, 8922, 8 944, and 8817) could separate colorectal patients from healthy control with a specificity of 93.
