Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the experience of our center and assess the efficacy of sac filling with fibrin sealant (FS) and gentamicin after endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) in patients with Brucella-related aorto-iliac artery aneurysms.
Materials And Methods: All patients who received sac filling with FS and gentamicin after EVAR for Brucella-related aorto-iliac artery aneurysms between March 2019 and September 2022 were reviewed. Before and after sac filling with FS and gentamicin, aneurysm sac thrombosis and endoleak were evaluated using a preloaded catheter to monitor immediate repair outcome.
Background: The pathogenesis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) triggered by high-voltage electrical burn (HVEB) remains unclear and the oxidative stress plays a role in this process. The purpose of this study is to investigate the underlying mechanism of oxidative stress mediates hippocampal neuronal apoptosis in rats with PTSD triggered by HVEB.
Materials And Methods: The PTSD rat model was developed by stimulating with high voltage electricity and screened using behavioral performance including Morris water maze (MWM), elevated plus-maze (EPM) and open-field test (OFT).

Aims: We investigated the incidence and clinical features of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in inpatients with mental illnesses.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed records of inpatients with mental illnesses and confirmed VTE at The First Hospital of Hebei Medical University between August 2018 and July 2022. We recorded demographic characteristics, psychosis-related conditions, and thrombus distribution.
Crocin (CRO) is feasible in alleviating atherosclerosis (AS), the mechanism of which was therefore explored in the study. High-fat diet (HFD)-induced apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE) mice and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)-treated macrophages received CRO treatment. Treated macrophage viability was determined via MTT assay.

Methodology: Retrospectively, logistic multivariate regression analysis was used to analyze data from 207 patients who underwent laparotomy for planned surgical resection at West China Hospital, during a 5-year period, and performed to identify CA19-9 levels contributing significantly to surgical resection. Inoperable patients were excluded.

Objective: To investigate the expressions of Bcl-2 and Beclin-1 in pancreatic cancer and analyze the correlation between them.
Methods: The pancreatic tissue samples were collected from each 6 cases of pancreatic cancer, pancreatic exocrine benign tumor, chronic pancreatitis and normal pancreas and marked as group A, group B, group C and group D, respectively. The mRNA expression levels of Bcl-2 and Beclin-1 were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and the protein expression levels of Bcl-2 and Beclin-1 were detected through immunohistochemistry.
