Objective: Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) has been playing an increasingly significant role in neuropathic pain (NP). This study aimed to investigate the clinical significance and mechanism of LncRNA ZNFX1 antisense RNA 1 (ZFAS1) in NP.
Methods: 92 patients with NP and 85 healthy controls were enrolled, and a rat NP model was constructed by chronic constrictive injury (CCI).
Article Synopsis
- Morvan syndrome is a rare autoimmune disorder primarily affecting males, characterized by symptoms like muscle twitching, autonomic disturbances, and severe sleep issues, often linked to specific autoantibodies.
- Current treatments include various immunotherapies, but no long-term cure exists, prompting interest in alternative therapies like traditional Chinese medicine.
- Three patients with serum Caspr2-positive Morvan syndrome showed some relief from traditional treatments but experienced disease recurrence, indicating the complexity and unpredictability of the condition.
Background: The aim was to evaluate the diagnostic value of ESR, CPR, PCT, and WBC in patients with infected diabetic foot ulcer (DFU).
Methods: The MEDLINE, Embase, BIOSIS, Cochrane databases, and Web of Knowledge databases were searched, without language restriction, to July 2023. Original studies were selected that reported the performance of ESR, CPR, PCT, and WBC in diagnosing infected DFU.
Background: MicroRNA (miRNA) plays a crucial role in neuropathic pain (NP) by targeting mRNAs. This study aims to analyze the regulatory function and mechanism of miR-382-5p/dual specificity phosphatase-1 (DUSP1) axis in NP.
Methods: We utilized rats with chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the sciatic nerve as the NP model.
Application of antibiotic bone cement in the treatment of infected diabetic foot ulcers in type 2 diabetes.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord
February 2023
Background: In this study, we try to investigate the effect of antibiotic bone cement in patients with infected diabetic foot ulcer (DFU).
Methods: This is a retrospective study, including fifty-two patients with infected DFU who had undergone treated between June 2019 and May 2021. Patients were divided into Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) group and control group.
Application of the distally based sural neurocutaneous flaps in the management of foot and ankle defects in patients with diabetic foot.
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)
October 2022
Background: We report our experience on the use of a distally based sural flap for soft tissue reconstruction of foot and ankle defects in patients with diabetic foot.
Methods: The actual study is a retrospective, open, non-controlled, and clinical study of 25 patients treated with diabetic foot on whom reconstruction with distally based sural neurocutaneous flaps was performed from May 2019 to December 2021.
Results: The mean age was 64.
To systematically review the efficacy and safety of botanical drugs in the treatment of cancer-related fatigue (CRF) caused by gastric cancer (GC) and to determine the underlying pharmacological mechanisms using a network analysis. Databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), SinoMed, Wanfang, Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from inception to 18 April 2022. Methodological quality assessment was performed using the collaborative tool Cochrane, and data analysis were carried out using RevMan 5.
