Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the risk factors associated with cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) and to develop a model for predicting intraoperative bleeding risk.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 208 patients with CSP who were admitted to the People's Hospital of Leshan between January 2018 and December 2022. Based on whether intraoperative bleeding was ≥ 200 mL, we categorized them into two groups for comparative analysis: the excessive bleeding group (n = 27) and the control group (n = 181).
Aflatoxin B (AFB ) is the predominant mycotoxin that originated toxicity in broilers through oxidative damage, intestinal barrier dysfunction, reduced immune system and dysfunction of microorganisms and enzymes in target organs. The intestine is the first AFB target organ destroyed after the bird's body is induced. This review summarises the current knowledge of the negative results of AFB -induced intestinal damage on broiler production.

However, neonatologists are concerned about the potential risks of CPAP support failure.
Objectives: To examine the association between different initial respiratory support modalities and the outcomes of preterm infants at <32 weeks of gestation across multiple neonatal intensive care units (NICU) in China.

Objectives: To study the pharmacologic effect and mechanism of action of Miao medicine Maxim. (ISM) in treating rheumatoid arthritis.
Methods: Sixty rats were randomly divided to six groups: normal control (normal), collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model (model), CIA + tripterygium glycosides (TG), CIA + ISM high dose oral (ISM-H), CIA + ISM low-dose oral (ISM-L), and CIA + ISM topical application (ISM-T).

Oleanolic acid (OA) is a triterpenoid contained in many herbal medicines. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of OA against D-galactosame plus lipopolysaccharides (D-GalN/LPS)-induced acute liver injury and the underling mechanisms. Mice were randomly divided into normal control with vehicles only (corn oil), D-GalN/LPS only (700mg/10μg/kg, ip), OA-po (200μmol/kg in corn oil, po) plus D-GalN/LPS, and OA-sc (50μmol/kg in 2% tween 80, sc) plus D-GalN/LPS groups.

Objective: To investigate the bio-effects of high single-dose radiation on xenografts of Lewis lung carcinoma.
Methods: Female 8-week-old C57 mice bearing 4-6 mm diameter Lewis lung carcinoma tumors in the hind legs were divided into 3 groups, control group (0 Gy), high single-dose group (12 Gy/one fraction/day) and routine radiation group (22 Gy/11 fraction/15 d). The mean biological effective dose (BED) of both radiation groups was 26.
Ablative hypofractionated radiotherapy (HFRT) significantly improves the overall survival of inoperable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients compared with conventional radiation therapy. However, the radiobiological mechanisms of ablative HFRT remain largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the dynamic changes of tumor vessels and perfusion during and after ablative hypofractionated radiotherapy.

Methods: Amino acids, fatty acids, organic acids, glucose,and sterols were transferred to ethers or esters which were heat stable and evaporated easily. The chromatographic conditions were optimized to analyze the endogenous metabolites from serum of the rats.
