Neuroprotective effects of miR-142-5p downregulation against isoflurane-induced neurological impairment.

Background: Isoflurane can lead to neuron damage to the developing brain, resulting in learning and memory disability. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of miR-142-5p on isoflurane-induced neurological impairment.

Methods: The Morris water maze (MWM) test was performed to evaluate spatial learning and memory of rats.

Observation of the clinical efficacy of dexmedetomidine in flexible bronchoscopy under general anesthesia: clinical case experience exchange.

Object: To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine in flexible bronchoscopy under general anesthesia.

Methods: A total of 114 patients were randomly divided into intervention group A and control group B. Group A received dexmedetomidine, fentanyl, and propofol as anesthesia, while Group B received fentanyl and propofol only.

Application of protein chip combined with SELDI-TOF-MS detection to investigate serum protein expression in patients with silicosis fibrosis.

The present study aimed to observe the identification of biomarkers of silicosis based on the differentially expressed serum proteins between normal healthy individuals and patients with silicosis fibrosis. A total number of 20 patients with clinically diagnosed silicosis were screened, which were designated as the foundation treatment group. In addition, 20 age-matched healthy patients attending a check-up at the physical examination department were selected.

Effect of Xinjiang Uyghur Willd Injection Treatment with Silicosis Fibrosis.

. To observe the curative effect of VAWI on Xinjiang Uygur patients with silicosis fibrosis. .

Spontaneous perforation of pyometra presenting as acute abdomen: a rare condition with considerable mortality.

Pyometra is an uncommon and potentially lethal disease that occurs mainly in postmenopausal women. Spontaneous perforation of pyometra presenting as acute abdomen is an extremely rare complication of pyometra, and the patients are always admitted to the emergency department. An additional case is reported herein.

Improvement in Ti-porcelain bonding by SiO(2) modification of titanium surface through cast method.

This study aimed to improve Ti-porcelain bonding strength through SiO2 modifications. Wax patterns were coated with SiO2 mixed with tetraethoxy silane (group C), patterns without coating were used as controls and subdivided into sandblasting group (group S) and polishing group (group P). Castingsurfaces were analyzed with XRD, while Ti-ceramic interfaces were characterized using SEM/EDS.
