Background: There is scant data on the association of the Pulsed wave-Doppler tissue imaging (PW-DTI)-derived tricuspid lateral annular peak systolic velocity (S') and poor short-term prognosis of patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF).
Patients And Methods: A total number of 732 participants from the Heb-ADHF registry in China were divided into three groups according to the corresponding status of tricuspid S'. Demographic characteristics, comorbidities, physical examinations, lab tests, and medications were compared among the different groups.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the use of conditioned medium from placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells (PMSC-CM) as a storage solution for avulsed teeth to improve the viability of periodontal ligament cells.
- Results showed that PMSC-CM significantly reduced the apoptosis rate of these cells compared to Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS) after 24 hours, indicating better cell preservation.
- Additionally, PMSC-CM enhanced the proliferation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) compared to HBSS, suggesting it could be a more effective medium for storing avulsed teeth prior to replantation.

The goal of this study was to compare the histologic differences between using PRP and blood clot in RET.
Methods: Three 6-month-old beagles each carrying 9 premolars with double root canals were randomly assigned to the PRP group, blood clot group, or negative control group.
[Association of QT dispersion, ST/heart rate slope and ST-segment depression in exercise test to evaluate restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention].

Objective: To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of QT dispersion (QTd) and ST/heart rate slope (ST/HRs) at the end of ECG exercise test plus ST-segment depression on diagnosing restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: Between November 2001 and December 2003, 129 patients underwent PCI successfully, and they were examined 3-6 months later. At the end of treadmill exercise, QTd and ST/HRs were measured.
