Atractylodis macrocephalae rhizoma tianma soup mixed with peach kernel safflower fried in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction: A randomized controlled trial.

We studied the effectiveness of Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma Tianma soup mixed with peach kernel safflower Fried in treating acute cerebral infarction. 96 patients were divided into two groups and received routine treatment as per hospital guidelines. 48 patients were given the herbal mixture while the rest were not.

The impact of different degrees of stenosis on platelet deposition in the left anterior descending branch of the coronary artery.

Background And Objective: This study aimed to investigate the impact of different stenotic degrees on platelet deposition in the left anterior descending branch of the coronary artery.

Methods: The idealized model of coronary artery stenosis of 30 %, 40 %, 50 %, 60 %, 70 % and four patient-specific models of 22.17 %, 34.

Research on solid shell element based on penalty method.

Since the angle degrees of freedom do not have the vector property, it is critical to handle this for nonlinear geometrical behavior. To simulate the nonlinear geometrical behavior of shell structure efficiently, we developed a solid-shell element type without drilling degrees of freedom. In this paper, the element satisfies the assumption of the straight normal of the shell and we established penalty functions in the thickness direction of the shell.

Expression and clinical significance of serum amyloid A and interleukin-6 in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Expression and clinical significance of serum amyloid A (SAA) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) were investigated. Fifty-one patients with AECOPD (acute group, AG) and 51 patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (stable group, SG) admitted to Qingdao Eighth People's Hospital were selected. The expression levels of SAA and IL-6 in peripheral blood of patients in the two groups were detected and compared before and after treatment.

Biomechanical analysis and comparison of 12 dental implant systems using 3D finite element study.

Finite element analysis plays an important role in dental implant design. The objective of this study was to show the effect of the overall geometry of dental implants on their biomechanics after implantation. In this study, 12 dental implants, with the same length, diameter and screw design, were simulated from different implant systems.
