Carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates can efficiently repair or enhance the mechanical properties of the square hollow section. However, the loading end of such a CFRP-strengthened member is prone to local bearing failure under compressive load. Given this limitation, an innovative CFRP-plate-strengthened square hollow section composite member (CFRP-SHSCM) was raised, and the thick-walled section was welded on both ends of the thin-walled steel column.

Delayed neurological dysfunction is diagnosed in cases when symptoms present > 3 d postoperatively. Owing to its rarity, the risk factors for delayed neurological dysfunction are unclear.

We explored the threshold of the relevant parameters in the pathological condition of bleeding, aiming to scientifically guide clinical prophylactic PLT transfusion.
Methods: In total, 268 patients with clear diagnoses of blood diseases and thrombocytopenia were enrolled and divided into five groups, A, B, C, D and E, corresponding to PLT counts of 0-10 × 10 /L, 11-20 × 10 /L, 21-30 × 10 /L, 31-50 × 10 /L and 51-100 × 10 /L, respectively.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the link between iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) and splenomegaly over a 6-year period at a hospital.
- A total of 668 hospitalized patients with IDA were compared to 3201 patients without the condition, revealing that 6.9% of IDA patients had splenomegaly versus only 0.7% in the control group.
- The findings indicate that splenomegaly is more common in those with more severe forms of IDA, suggesting that the severity of anemia contributes to the development of splenomegaly, potentially due to the body's attempt to produce blood cells outside the bone marrow.
Background: Lymphoma is a common hematological malignancy with many subtypes and considerable heterogeneity. Traditional treatments include chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery. Patients with relapsed, refractory or advanced stage lymphoma have a dismal prognosis.

As a neurodevelopmental therapy, neuromuscular joint facilitation (NJF) is widely used in the treatment of orthopedic and neurological disorders in the clinical practice. It is mainly used for central nervous system diseases or orthopedic diseases, movement disorders, and pain rehabilitation.

Methods: Forty female SD rats were randomly divided into control, model, moxibustion-1 (moxibustion was given 4 weeks before modeling), moxibustion-2 (moxibustion was given 2 weeks before modeling and 2 weeks from the 1st day on after modeling ) and moxibustion-3 (moxibustion was given 4 weeks from the 1st day on after modeling) groups (=8 rats in each group). The DOR model was established by gavage of Tripterygium Glycosides (75 mg/kg) once daily for 14 days.
Objective: To evaluate and compare localization by ductoscopy-guided wire with localization by conventional methods in the terminal duct excision for women with pathological nipple discharge.
Methods: Breast terminal duct excision were performed in 174 consecutive patients with intraductal lesions diagnosed by mammary ductoscopy. Sixty-eight of those underwent ductoscopy-guided wire localization for more accurate ductal excision.
