Introduction: Ovarian Cancer (OC) is a heterogeneous malignancy with poor outcomes. Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in developing drug resistance. However, the relationships between Oxidative Stress-related Genes (OSRGs) and the prognosis of platinum-resistant OC remain unclear.

Multimodality neuroimaging has become an important diagnostic and follow-up method for AD with its non-invasive and quantitative advantages.
Case Presentation: We report a case of a 59-year-old female with a diagnosis of depression at the age of 50 after a 46-year-old onset and a 9-year follow-up observation, who developed cognitive dysfunction manifested by memory loss and disorientation at the age of 53, and eventually developed dementia.
Objective: To quantitatively evaluate the iron deposition and volume changes in deep gray nuclei according to threshold-method of quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) acquired by strategically acquired gradient echo (STAGE) sequence, and to analyze the correlation between the magnetic susceptibility values (MSV) and cognitive scores in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.
Methods: Twenty-nine patients with T2DM and 24 healthy controls (HC) matched by age and gender were recruited in this prospective study. QSM images were used to evaluate whole-structural volumes (V), regional magnetic susceptibility values (MSV), and volumes (V) in high-iron regions in nine gray nuclei.
Primary intracranial mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a rare type of brain tumor, with only a few reported cases worldwide that mostly have only one lesion with conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. Here, we present a special case of intracranial MALT lymphoma with two mass lesions radiographically consistent with meningiomas on MRI before the operation. A 66-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with intermittent right facial pain for 1 year, aggravated for the last month.

Patients (n = 120) were divided into 3 groups according to the development of restenosis and the time of restenosis occurrence. The postoperative NLR was higher in the late-restenosis group than that in the no-restenosis group (3.

Methods: 194 patients treated with DCB for femoropopliteal lesions were retrospectively analyzed for up to 12 months of follow-up between January 2017 and September 2020. Baseline clinical and procedural characteristics were compared between the anemia and non-anemia patients, and predictors of restenosis were identified using logistic regression.
Background: Currently, there is little information on the optimal treatment for patients with femoropopliteal total in-stent occlusion.The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefit of drug-coated balloon(DCB) angioplasty after RotarexS rotational atherectomy plus thrombectomy for femoropopliteal total in-stent occlusion at 12 months.
Methods: From June 2016 to April 2019, 36 patients (21 male, mean age 71.
Purpose: To quantitatively assess the blood oxygen levels of the cerebral vein using quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), and to analyze the correlation between magnetic susceptibility value (MSV) and clinical laboratory indicators/cognitive scores in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Materials And Methods: Fifty-nine patients (21 males and 38 females) with clinically confirmed AD (AD group) and 22 control subjects (12 males, 10 females; CON group) were recruited. Clinical data and laboratory examination indexes were collected.
The purpose of this article is to examine hospital social responsibility practices using a content analysis method. It selected a sample of 522 hospitals in U.S.

We enrolled 35 clinically confirmed PD patients and 23 healthy volunteers. All patients underwent MR examination with conventional MRI scan sequences and an additional DKI sequence.
