Expression Level of Small Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein D1 in Gastric Cancer and Its Effect on Prognosis.

Objective To investigate the expression of small nuclear ribonucleoprotein D1 (SNRPD1) in the gastric cancer tissue and evaluate the predictive value of SNRPD1 expression level for the long-term prognosis of gastric cancer patients and the possible functioning mechanism of SNRPD1. Methods The UALCAN and Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) were employed to analyze the expression level of SNRPD1 in pan-cancer and its relationship with the prognosis of gastric cancer.The clinical data of 109 patients who underwent radical surgery for gastric cancer from January 2014 to January 2017 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University were retrospectively analyzed.

Effects of intradialytic resistance exercise on systemic inflammation in maintenance hemodialysis patients with sarcopenia: a randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of intradialytic resistance exercise on inflammation markers and sarcopenia indices in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients with sarcopenia.

Methods: Forty-one MHD patients with sarcopenia were divided into an intervention group (group E, n = 21) and a control group (group C, n = 20). Group C patients only received routine hemodialysis care, whereas group E patients received progressive intradialytic resistance exercise with high or moderate intensity for 12 weeks at three times per week (using the weight of the lower limbs and elastic ball movement of the upper limb) on the basis of routine hemodialysis care.

Scoring System to Predict the Risk of Surgical Site Infection in Patients with Esophageal Cancer after Esophagectomy with Cervical Anastomosis.

Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) surveillance has become increasingly important during the peri-operative period of esophagectomy with cervical anastomosis (McKeown esophagectomy). This study sought to clarify the risk factors for SSI and to develop a stratification scoring system to predict SSI after esophagectomy with cervical anastomosis.

Patients And Methods: All patients who underwent elective esophagectomy with cervical anastomosis were studied between January 2010 and December 2016 in the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Cancer Hospital (CAMS).
