Objective: To assess malignant trophoblastic neoplasia with the standards of the clinical stage and prognostic factor scoring system.
Methods: Through assessing the high-risk factors except clinical stages for 223 patients before treatment according to International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) scoring system published in 2000, appropriate treatments were selected for the different patients.
Results: Forty-three of 78 cases of choriocarcinomas were with high-risk factors, the other 35 cases were with low-risk factors; 7 of 145 cases of invasive moles were with high-risk factors and the others were with low-risk factors. The primary chemotherapy principle was that one agent was used for those patients with low-risk factors and two or multiple-agents were used for those patients with high-risk factors. Among all patients, the one-year, three-year and five-year survival rates were 98.6%, 98.1% and 97.1% respectively. No patient died of drug toxicity or complication.
Conclusion: Selection of treatment approaches according to the prognostic assessment of malignant trophoblastic neoplasia could lead to promising survival rate with no uncurable complication and toxic effects.

Purpose: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a critical syndrome with a high mortality rate. In clinical practice, some patients with fever of unknown origin (FUO) can develop HLH, further complicating the diagnosis and treatment. However, studies on HLH in adults with FUO are limited.

is an airborne bacterial zoonotic pathogen that causes Q fever/coxiellosis in humans and animals. Although dogs are suspected of transmitting Q fever to humans in past outbreaks, the prevalence of in the Indian dog population and risk factors for infection remain unknown. In this study, 452 dogs from pet clinics in three Indian states were screened for coxiellosis using molecular (Trans-PCR, Com 1-PCR) and serological (IFAT) tests.

Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), a subset of acute coronary syndrome, remains the major cause of mortality worldwide. Mitochondrial dysfunction is critically involved in AMI progression, and mitophagy plays a vital role in eliminating damaged mitochondria. This study aimed to explore mitophagy-related biomarkers and their potential molecular basis in AMI.

Objective: We aimed to explore the application value of unsupervised machine learning in identifying acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) after extracorporeal circulation for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD).
Methods: Patients who underwent extracorporeal circulation for ATAAD at the First Hospital of Lanzhou University from January 2016 to January 2021 were included. Unsupervised machine learning algorithm was used to stratify patients into different phenogroups according to the similarity of their clinical features and laboratory test results.

Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been proven to be a support method and technology for patients with cardiopulmonary failure. However, the transport of patients under ECMO support is challenging given the high-risk technical maneuvers and patient-care concerns involved. Herein, we examined the safety of ECMO during the transport of critically ill patients and its impact on mortality rates, to provide more secure and effective transport strategies in clinical practice.
