Purpose: This study aims to evaluate outcomes in patients with mesenteric artery embolism (MAE) who received primary endovascular therapy (EVT) or laparotomy, and investigate risk factors for 30-day mortality.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 94 MAE patients who underwent two different treatment strategies was undertaken. An inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) method was used to balance the confounding effects of baseline clinical data.
Background: Prophylactic dose of rivaroxaban is often used in treatment of isolated calf muscle vein thrombosis (ICMVT); nevertheless, its effect is less reported. This study aims to evaluate short-term outcomes in patients with ICMVT who received prophylactic dose of rivaroxaban or warfarin therapy.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 472 ICMVT patients who received 2 different treatment regimens was undertaken.
Background: Cognitive decline is one of the greatest concerns for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and their care partners. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a nonpharmacological treatment option used to improve cognitive function in PD, but its efficacy is unclear. We performed a meta-analysis to determine whether rTMS improves cognition in PD patients.

Methods: Twenty-two DPD patients, 23 PD patients without depression (NDPD), and 25 matched healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled. All participants were examined by resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scans.
Objective: Low muscle mass and quality is associated with poor surgical outcomes. Psoas muscle density (PMD)is a validated surrogate for muscle quality that can be easily measured from a clinical computed tomography (CT) scan. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between PMD and short-term postoperative outcomes in patients with acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI).

Methods: Patients diagnosed with AMI between April 2006 and September 2019 were enrolled in this study. Frailty was evaluated by sarcopenia which was diagnosed by third lumbar vertebra psoas muscle area (PMA).
Inflammation and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are the key events in intimal hyperplasia. This study aimed to explore the mechanism by which long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) KCNQ1OT1 affects VSMC inflammation and proliferation in this context. A vein graft (VG) model was established in mice to introduce intimal hyperplasia.

- The study investigates the immediate technical failure (ITF) of endovascular treatment (EVT) for patients with femoropopliteal occlusive disease (FPOD) by analyzing preoperative clinical data from 1,563 patients.
- Risk factors for ITF identified include age over 80, absence of diabetes, high low-density lipoprotein levels, long lesion lengths, ostial occlusion, and involvement of the popliteal artery.
- A prediction model was created that assigns scores to these risk factors, determining a threshold score of 39, where 12 of 14 patients who failed EVT exceeded this score, demonstrating its potential clinical utility.

Objective: To investigate the serotypes distribution and ampicillin resistance of Haemophilus influenzae isolates from children with respiratory infection in Hangzhou.
Methods: Haemophilus influenzae strains were identified with V factor and X factor tests. Serotypes were determined with the slide agglutination method.
