Clinical Observation of Double Percutaneous Nephrostomy Combined with Ureter Occlusion Stent for Treating Cervical Cancer Complicated with Vesicovaginal Fistula.

To evaluate the efficacy of double percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) combined with ureter occlusion stent for treating cervical cancer complicated with vesicovaginal fistula (VVF). A retrospective analysis was performed for 12 patients with cervical cancer complicated with VVF. Regardless of surgical resection, radiotherapy alone or combined chemoradiotherapy were carried out in all patients.

Therapeutic effects of curcumin nanoemulsions on prostate cancer.

The therapeutic potential of curcumin (Cur) is hampered by its poor aqueous solubility and low bioavailability. The aim of this study was to determine whether Cur nanoemulsions enhance the efficacy of Cur against prostate cancer cells and increase the oral absorption of Cur. Cur nanoemulsions were developed using the self-microemulsifying method and characterized by their morphology, droplet size and zeta potential.

Predictors for spontaneous pregnancy after microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy: a prospective cohort study.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the possible preoperative predictors of spontaneous pregnancy (SPR) for infertile males with varicocele after microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy (MVL) performed in two medical centers in a prospective cohort study.

Methods: A total of 120 males with varicocele that underwent MVL between June 2013 and June 2014 in two medical centers were documented. Related data, including male and female partner age, male body mass index (BMI), female BMI, preoperative semen parameters, hormone levels, testicular volume, grade and side of varicocele, were collected and analyzed.

Bone Age and Serum Osteocalcin Levels in Children With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome Before and After Adenotonsillectomy.

Our aim was to study the changes in bone age and serum osteocalcin levels before and after adenotonsillectomy (AT) in children with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). A total of 58 OSAHS children (37 males and 21 females) with the mean age of 6.68 ± 1.

Comparisons of thyroid hormone, intelligence, attention, and quality of life in children with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome before and after endoscopic adenoidectomy.

Objective. The aim of this study was to compare the differences in thyroid hormone, intelligence, attention, and quality of life (QoL) of children with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) before and after endoscopic adenoidectomy. Method.

[Study on preparation and optimization of saikoside liposomes].

Objective: To optimize the prescription and technique for preparing saikoside (SS) liposomes and evaluate its quality.

Methods: The preparation methods of liposomes included film dispersion, ether injection, reverse phase evaporation and pH gradients were explored. The encapsulation ratio was determined by macroreticular resin method.
