Research trends and hotspots of post-stroke upper limb dysfunction: a bibliometric and visualization analysis.

Background: The global prevalence of stroke has been increasing. Motor dysfunction is observed in approximately 55 to 75% of stroke patients, with upper limb impairment affecting around 85% of them. Following upper limb dysfunction, the body's recovery time is not only slower compared to the lower limbs, but the restoration of its fine motor skills is significantly more challenging, greatly impacting the daily lives of patients.

[Brief analysis of 's experience of acupuncture technique].

The paper introduces the clinical experience of in technique of acupuncture in terms of theoretical basis, acupoint selection and needling manipulation. Guided by the clinical thoughts of acupuncture, "regulating the spirit as the priority, harmonizing and , and holistic treatment", and associated with the theoretic knowledge of modern medicine, proposes a new technique of acupuncture on the head, delivered in the region from Shenting (GV 24) to Baihui (GV 20), and the area 0.5 bilateral to this midline (the governor vessel), named Shenting (heaven), Muyang (human) and Baihui (earth).

Diagnostic accuracy of the aortic dissection detection risk score alone or with D-dimer for acute aortic syndromes: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the aortic dissection detection risk score (ADD-RS) used alone or in combination with D-dimer for detecting acute aortic syndrome (AAS) in patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of AAS.

Methods: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library from inception to February 2024. Additionally, the reference lists of included studies and other systematic reviews were thoroughly searched.

Diagnostic Accuracy of D-Dimer for Acute Aortic Syndromes: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Study Objective: Acute aortic syndrome is a life-threatening emergency condition. Previous systematic reviews of D-dimer diagnostic accuracy for acute aortic syndrome have been contradictory and based on limited data, but recently published studies offer potential for a more definitive overview. We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the diagnostic accuracy of D-dimer for diagnosing acute aortic syndrome.

Advancing unanchored simulated treatment comparisons: A novel implementation and simulation study.

Population-adjusted indirect comparisons, developed in the 2010s, enable comparisons between two treatments in different studies by balancing patient characteristics in the case where individual patient-level data (IPD) are available for only one study. Health technology assessment (HTA) bodies increasingly rely on these methods to inform funding decisions, typically using unanchored indirect comparisons (i.e.

Research on the role of LuxS/AI-2 quorum sensing in biofilm of 37 based on complete genome sequencing.

Unlabelled: , a type of food-grade probiotic bacteria, plays an important role in food fermentation and intestinal probiotics. Biofilms help bacteria survive under adverse conditions, and LuxS/AI-2-dependent quorum sensing (QS) plays an important role in the regulation of their biofilm-forming activities. 37 was a biofilm-forming strain isolated from dairy products.

Screening of Antifungal Lactic Acid Bacteria as Bioprotective Cultures in Yogurt and a Whey Beverage.

Abstract: The demand for preservative-free food products is rising, and biopreservation is a potential alternative to replace or reduce the use of chemical preservatives. The objectives of this study were to assess the antifungal activity of lactic acid bacteria (LAB; n = 98) and the efficacy and applicability of the chosen bioprotective cultures against fungal spoilers in dairy products. First, 14 antifungal strains were preliminarily screened by in vitro tests against Pichia pastoris D3, Aspergillus niger D1, Geotrichum candidum N1, Kluyveromyces marxianus W1, and Penicillium chrysogenum B1 and validated by challenge tests in yogurt, indicating that the fungal-inhibiting activity of LAB was species specific and yogurt fermented with antifungal LAB cultures was more effective in extending shelf life.

[The levels and clinical significance of serum leptin and transforming growth factor beta1 in silicosis patients].

To investigate the levels and clinical significance of serum leptin and transforming growth beta 1 (TGF-β1) in silicosis patients. A total of 52 patients with silicosis (already identified as occupational diseases) were enrolled in the Department of Respiratory and Critical Disease Medicine, the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from June 2018 to July 2019. These patients were regarded as silicosis group.

Label-free LC-MS/MS shotgun proteomics to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of rCC16.

Clara cell protein (CC16) is an anti-inflammatory protein, which is expressed in the airway epithelium. It is involved in the development of airway inflammatory diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma. However, the exact molecular mechanism underlying its anti‑inflammatory action remains to be fully elucidated.

[Study and determination of trace Fe (III) with resin-phase spectrophotometry in Mongolian medicine].

Under the buffer medium of HAc-NaAc of pH = 6.00, Fe(III) and 4-(5-chloro-2-pyridylazo)-1, 3-Diaminobenzene form a colored complex which can be quantitatively absorbed on the strong acid cation exchange resin, and the amount of trace Fe(III) is determined by spectrophotometry. The maximum absorption wavelength is at 540 nm, the apparent molor absorptivity is 1.

[Response of seed germination of three xeromorphic shrubs to drought stress].

The seed germination, seedling growth and water absorption characteristic of Caragana korshinskii, Hedysarum scoparium, and Artemisia sphearocephala were investigated under different osmotic potentials (PEG 6000, -0.3(-) -2.7 MPa).
