Comparative effectiveness and safety of open triple-branched stent graft technique with stented elephant trunk implantation in treating Stanford type A aortic dissection: A trial sequential meta-analysis.

Background: The optimal surgical intervention for Stanford type A aortic dissection is controversial. The aim of this trial sequential meta-analysis was to investigate the comparative effectiveness and safety of open triple-branched stent graft and stent elephant trunk implantation for total aortic arch reconstruction in Sandford type A aortic dissection.

Methods: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, Chinese Biomedical Literature database (CBM), and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were searched for retrieving relevant studies from inception to February 28, 2022.

Application of three-dimensional reconstruction combined with dial positioning in small pulmonary nodules surgery.

Background: With the popularization of HRCT and VATS, the incidence of early stage lung cancer is increasing recent years. About 63% of small pulmonary nodules can not be accurately identified in VATS. We use 3-D reconstruction combined with dial positioning to analyze its accuracy and impact on patients undergoing VATS in our hospital.

A practical technique for subacute hemorrhagic pericarditis, a case report.

Background: We used pericardioscope operation for a patient who suffered from subacute hemorrhagic pericarditis which usually have to had a sternotomy.

Case Presentation: A pericardioscope was used in the operation rather than sternotomy on a 66-year-old male who was diagnosed with subacute hemorrhagic pericarditis after PCI(Percutaneous Coronary Intervention). He was discharged 7 days after the operation with an uneventfull postoperative course.

Association between KIF1B (rs17401966) polymorphism and hepatocellular carcinoma susceptibility: a meta-analysis.

Introduction: The results of the earlier published studies on the association between KIF1B (rs17401966) polymorphism and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk are inconclusive. Hence, we performed this meta-analysis to evaluate the relationship between KIF1B (rs17401966) polymorphism and HCC risk.

Methods: Databases including PubMed, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library and bibliographies of relevant papers were screened to identify relevant studies published up to March 25, 2018.

Association between rs11200014, rs2981579, and rs1219648 polymorphism and breast cancer susceptibility: A meta-analysis.

Background: Research on the polymorphism of breast cancer (BC) helps to search the BC susceptibility gene for mass screening, early diagnosis, and gene therapy, which has become a hotspot in BC research field. Previous studies have suggested associations between rs11200014, rs2981579, and rs1219648 polymorphisms and cancer risk. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between rs11200014, rs2981579, and rs1219648 polymorphism and BC risk.

Association between FGFR2 (rs2981582, rs2420946 and rs2981578) polymorphism and breast cancer susceptibility: a meta-analysis.

The association between fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) polymorphism and breast cancer (BC) susceptibility remains inconclusive. The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the relationship between FGFR2 (rs2981582, rs2420946 and rs2981578) polymorphism and BC risk. PubMed, Web of science and the Cochrane Library databases were searched before October 11, 2015 to identify relevant studies.
