High HER-2 protein levels correlate with clinicopathological features in colorectal cancer.

Aim: To obtain a correlation between HER-2 expression and the clinicopathological features incolorectal cancers. (CRCs) using a meta.analysis based approach.

Visible lasers were better than invisible lasers in accelerating burn healing on diabetic rats.

Objective: This study was designed to assess and compare the efficacy of accelerating burn healing in diabetic rats using low-power visible and invisible lasers.

Background Data: Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been used in a number of diabetic animal and human studies, with both positive and no effects.

Materials And Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were used in the study.

Low-level laser therapy enhances wound healing in diabetic rats: a comparison of different lasers.

Objective: The effects of wound healing acceleration on diabetic rats were determined and compared using different laser wavelengths and incident doses.

Background Data: Many studies have demonstrated that low-level laser therapy (LLLT) can promote the wound healing on non-diabetic animals.

Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were used.

[Reversed C-ring flap from the middle and ring fingers for repairing distal degloving injury of the thumb and forefinger].

C-ring flap is currently an advanced means for repair of degloving injuries of the fingers. From May, 1999 to September, 2002, we used reversed C-ring flap middle and ring finger for repairing distal degloving injury to the thumb and forefinger in 9 cases. All flaps survived with satisfactory appearance.
