Comprehensive evaluation of Chinese herbal compound prescriptions for postoperative spinal cord injury: A network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a catastrophic condition associated with spinal nerve damage, which can lead to complete or partial loss of sensory and motor functions. Chinese herbal compound prescriptions (CHCP) have shown varying degrees of therapeutic effects on spinal cord injuries. However, there is a significant lack of clinical evidence-based research to substantiate these effects.

Decreased serum levels of SETD1A protein in patients with schizophrenia.

Objective: SET domain-containing protein 1A (SETD1A) histone lysine N-methyltransferase may serve as a biomarker for the auxiliary diagnosis and treatment assessment of schizophrenia (SCZ). The aim of this study was to compare serum levels of SETD1A protein between patients with SCZ and health controls.

Methods: Patients with SCZ and health controls were recruited from the Sixth Hospital of Changchun and the 'Survey on Chronic Diseases and Risk Factors among Adults in Jilin Province', respectively.

A novel fluorescent nanoprobe that based on poly(thymine) single strand DNA-templated copper nanocluster for the detection of hydrogen peroxide.

In this paper, a label-free fluorescence nanoprobe is constructed based on poly(thymine) single strand DNA-templated Copper nanocluster (denote as: T-CuNCs) for the detection of hydrogen peroxide. In the assay, the fluorescent T-CuNCs will generate though the reaction of Cu, poly(thymine) and sodium ascorbate. However, the hydroxyl radical (OH) will generated in the presence of HO, which is able to induced the oxidative lesions of poly(thymine) single chain DNA and lead to the poly(thymine) being splitted into shorter or single oligonucleotide fragments and lose the ability to template the fluorescent T-CuNCs again.

Treatment of neonates with meconium aspiration syndrome by proportional assist ventilation and synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation: a comparison study.

Background: This study aimed to compare the relevant clinical parameters of neonates with MAS who are supported by proportion assisted ventilation (PAV) and synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV).

Methods: Forty neonates diagnosed as MAS who required mechanical ventilation were divided randomly into PAV group and SIMV group (N.=20).

[A population-based epidemiological survey of neonatal respiratory failure in Huai'an City of Jiangsu Province, in 2010].

Objective: To investigate the prevalence, clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognosis of neonatal respiratory failure (NRF) in Huai'an, Jiangsu Province, China, in 2010.

Methods: The clinical data of all NRF cases in the hospitals of Huai'an in 2010 were prospectively collected and analyzed using descriptive epidemiological methods.

Results: Among 60,986 live births in Huai'an in 2010, there were 556 (0.
