Article Synopsis
- The totally implantable venous access device (TIVAD) is commonly used in clinical settings in China, enhancing the safety of venous access and minimizing pain from repeated needle punctures.
- Despite its benefits, TIVAD can lead to complications over time, making proper maintenance crucial for reducing risks and improving the patient's quality of life.
- This consensus document outlines essential knowledge and procedures related to TIVAD nursing care, focusing on perioperative evaluation, complication management, operation techniques, maintenance precautions, and patient education.
Helichrysetin (HEL), a chalcone isolated from Alpinia katsumadai Hayata, has an antitumor activity in human lung and cervical cancers. However, the inhibitory effect and underlying mechanism of HEL in gastric cancer have not been elucidated. Here, HEL significantly inhibited the growth of gastric cancer MGC803 cells in vitro and in vivo.

Therefore, the region of interest (ROI) for feature extraction should cover the SN region in a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system. The ROI size naturally affects the feature representation.

Methods: The chemical compounds contained in SGD were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. A rat model of IBS was induced by chronic water avoidance stress (WAS).
Objective: To study the relationship between the inhibitory effects of Tongxie Yaofang, a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, on the contraction of the colonic smooth muscle isolated from rats and calcium mobilization.
Methods: By measuring the tension of the isolated colonic smooth muscle strips, the inhibitory effects of Tongxie Yaofang on the contraction induced by acetylcholine (ACh), KCl and exhausting Ca(2+) of internal calcium store were assessed respectively.
Results: Tongxie Yaofang could concentration-dependently inhibit the contraction of isolated rat colonic smooth muscle strips induced by KCl and exhausting the Ca(2+) of internal calcium store.
