The influence of delay elimination communication on the prevalence of primary nocturnal enuresis-a survey from Mainland China.

Aims: A pilot survey shows that primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE) prevalence has increased significantly during the past decade in Mainland China. Whether it is related to the delay of elimination communication (EC) is unclear. This study retrospectively investigated the influence of delayed EC on the PNE prevalence in children and adolescents in mainland China.

Evaluating ECG-aided tip localization of peripherally inserted central catheter in patients with cancer.

Objective: To evaluate ECG-aided tip localization of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) in the patients with cancer.

Methods: Between September and December 2014, 170 patients undergoing PICC were divided into observation group and control group (each group with 85 patients). In observation group, patients received ECG-aided tip localization of PICC.

Comparison of Pressure- and Volume-Controlled Ventilation in Laparoscopic Surgery: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trial.

Purpose: Volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) has been the traditional mechanical ventilation mode in laparoscopic surgery. Pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) has been used more frequently in recent years, especially for patients with complicated conditions; however, evidence on whether PCV is superior to VCV is still lacking. A meta-analysis was used to compare the effects of PCV and VCV on respiratory and hemodynamic parameters during laparoscopic surgery.

Effectiveness of combining plasma exchange with plasma perfusion in acute fatty liver of pregnancy: a retrospective analysis.

Background/aims: Acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) is a severe liver failure condition that has limited therapeutic approaches. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of combining plasma exchange (PE) and plasma perfusion (PP) with conventional therapy for the treatment of AFLP using a retrospective analysis.

Methods: Among 22 patients with AFLP, 16 cases were treated with conventional treatment (CT group), while the other 6 cases were treated with PE and PP in addition to conventional therapy (CT+PE+PP group).

Comparison of short-term efficacy and safety of TIROX and DCF regimens for advanced gastric cancer.

Objective: To compare the short-term efficacy and safety profile of the S-1 + irinotecan + oxaliplatin (TIROX) and docetaxel + cisplatin + flurouracil (DCF) anticancer regimens in patients with advanced gastric cancer.

Methods: Patients with recurrent or metastatic gastric cancer diagnosed by pathology were randomly divided into two groups to receive six cycles of either the TIROX regimen (21-day cycle) or the DCF regimen (21-day cycle). After six chemotherapy cycles, the short-term efficacy was evaluated according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors guidelines and adverse reactions were recorded according to National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria 2.
