Clinical practice guidelines for prevention and treatment of postoperative gastrointestinal disorder with Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine (2023).

Postoperative gastrointestinal disorder (POGD) was a common complication after surgery under anesthesia. Strategies in combination with Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western medicine showed some distinct effects but standardized clinical practice guidelines were not available. Thus, a multidisciplinary expert team from various professional bodies including the Perioperative and Anesthesia Professional Committees of the Chinese Association of Integrative Medicine (CAIM), jointly with Gansu Province Clinical Research Center of Integrative Anesthesiology/Anesthesia and Pain Medical Center of Gansu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and WHO Collaborating Center for Guideline Implementation and Knowledge Translation/Chinese Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) Center/Gansu Provincial Center for Medical Guideline Industry Technology/Evidence-based Medicine Center of Lanzhou University, was established to develop evidence-based guidelines.

High expression of SMARCC1 predicts poor prognosis in gastric cancer patients.

The switching/sucrose non-fermenting (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complexes use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to remodel nucleosomes and modulate transcription, which plays an important role in tumors by regulating epigenetics. SWI/SNF Related, Matrix Associated, Actin Dependent Regulator of Chromatin, Subfamily C, Member 1 (SMARCC1) has dual roles in tumors but its role in gastric cancer remains unclear. This study was aimed to find the role of SMARCC1 in gastric cancer.

Does sustainable environmental agenda matter in the era of globalization? The relationship among financial development, energy consumption, and sustainable environmental-economic growth.

The purpose of this research is to explore the connection of financial development, sustainable environmental-economic growth, and energy consumption among the South Asian Nations. This research examines a combine influence on energy consumption, financial development on sustainable environmental economic growth regarding south Asian economies. This study has used autoregressive distributive lag (ARDL) and panel data set from World Development Indicators (WDI) start from 1980 to 2018.

Effects of early vitamin D supplementation on the prevention of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants.

Background: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a respiratory dysfunction caused by poor lung bronchial development, which may lead to long-term lung disease, threatening the lives of children. Studies have shown that premature infants with low vitamin D are highly associated with BPD. In this study, we aim to obtain insights into whether early vitamin D supplementation could prevent BPD in preterm infants.

Targeting lncRNA PSMA3-AS1, a Prognostic Marker, Suppresses Malignant Progression of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Objective: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) represents the most common maxillofacial malignancy. This study elucidated the clinicopathological value and molecular mechanisms of PSMA3 antisense RNA 1 (PSMA3-AS1) in OSCC.

Methods: Totally, 135 OSCC patients were recruited.

Circular RNA FNDC3B Protects Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Cells From Ferroptosis and Contributes to the Malignant Progression by Regulating miR-520d-5p/SLC7A11 Axis.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common head and neck malignancy with increasing mortality and high recurrence. Ferroptosis is an emerging programed cell death and plays an essential role in tumorigenesis. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been reported as a type of critical regulators in OSCC development.

Carnosic acid alleviates brain injury through NF‑κB‑regulated inflammation and Caspase‑3‑associated apoptosis in high fat‑induced mouse models.

High fat diet (HFD) is a risk factor for various diseases in humans and animals. Metabolic disease‑induced brain injury is becoming an increasingly popular research topic. Carnosic acid (CA) is a phenolic diterpene synthesized by plants belonging to the Lamiaceae family, which exhibits multiple biological activities.

Therapeutic Efficacy of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Baishaoqiwu on TNBS-induced Colitis is Associated with Down-regulation of the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB Signaling Pathway.

Background/aim: The traditional Chinese medicine Baishaoqiwu (BSQW) has been previously used to clinically treat inflammatory bowel diseases. However, the mechanisms of it's therapeutic efficacy remain unclear. The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of BSQW on ulcerative colitis (UC) and the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway in a rat model of colitis.

Decreased Expression of Tumor-suppressor Gene LKB1 Correlates with Poor Prognosis in Human Gastric Cancer.

Background/aim: The present report describes the correlation of liver kinase B1 (LKB1) expression with tumorigenesis and prognosis in gastric cancer.

Materials And Methods: LKB1 mRNA and protein expression was detected in gastric-cancer cell lines and patient specimens. Patients were followed-up and clinico-pathological parameters and overall survival (OS) were evaluated.

[Efficacy of thromboelastography to monitor the clinical massive transfusion in scoliosis: a randomized controlled trial].

Objective: To systematically assess the benefits and harms of a thromboela-stogram (TEG) guided transfusion strategy with severe bleeding.

Methods: In this prospective study, 60 patients scheduled for scoliosis were included in the Fourth Affiliated Hospital, Xinjiang Medical University, from May 2014 to February 2014.Patients were allocated into either an TEG group or a standard management group.

Synovial Fluid HMGB-1 Levels are Associated with Osteoarthritis Severity.

Background: Recent data have shown that enhanced cytokine production in knee osteoarthritis (OA) synovium are believed to promote pathological OA. High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB-1) as a well-known pro-inflammatory cytokine may influence the development of knee OA. The purpose of this study is to analyze the amount of and location of HMGB-1 in OA synovium and to compare it with controls who are afflicted with acute meniscal or cruciate ligament tears.

Comparisons of serum total IgE, IgG, and IgG1 levels in patients with and without echinococcosis-induced anaphylactic shock.

We investigated serum total immunoglobulin E (IgE), IgG, and IgG1 levels in patients with and without echinococcosis-induced anaphylactic shock. This was a case-control study of 11 patients with echinococcosis-induced anaphylactic shock and 22 echinococcosis patients with cyst rupture but without anaphylactic shock. Blood was collected before surgery (T0), at the time of cyst rupture (T1), and shock (Tx), 1 h (T2), 1 day (T3), and 1 week (T4) after cyst rupture.

Demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with anaphylactic shock after surgery for cystic echinococcosis.

We reviewed the records of 446 patients who were treated surgically for cystic echinococcosis (CE) to identify risk factors for anaphylactic shock. Of 446 patients, 10 had final diagnoses of anaphylactic shock induced by CE; none died. The incidence of anaphylactic shock was significantly higher in younger age groups (P < 0.
