Objective: Aim of this study is to determine the prognostic value of age, serum alkaline phosphatase, pretreatment PSA level, Gleason score, and number of bone metastasis focuses.
Patients And Methods: One hundred fifty-one patients who had been followed in our clinic between years 1989 and 2006 were investigated retrospectively.
Results: As a result of this study, it has been detected that serum alkaline phosphatase, Gleason score, and intensity of bone metastasis are important and statistically significant prognostic factors, and affects time to progression and life time. But pretreatment PSA level, and age have been detected not to be effective in predicting time to progression and life time.
Conclusion: Metastatic prostate cancer provides a wide spectrum for risk of death from the disease, and clinicians have long sought methods to predict the outcome accurately in individual patients. In our study, we found that high serum alkaline phosphatase, high Gleason score, and intense bone metastasis (>6) has negative impact on progression and survival.

Department of Pediatrics, NHO Okayama Medical Center, Okayama, Japan.
Aim: Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) rarely affects pediatric patients and is characterized by prolonged fever and cervical lymphadenopathy. The diagnosis of KFD remains challenging and often requires an invasive biopsy. Low serum alkaline phosphatase levels have frequently been observed in patients with KFD; however, the clinical significance of low serum alkaline phosphatase levels remains unclear.

Introduction: Datura stramonium (DS) possesses strong medicinal and therapeutic potential but has been rarely evaluated in this context.
Methods: The present study was intended to evaluate the antioxidant, hepatoprotective, and nephroprotective potential of the crude methanolic leaf extract and ethyl acetate, chloroform, n-hexane, and aqueous fractions of DS in paracetamol-intoxicated rabbits. Paracetamol (2 g/Kg BW) was applied to induce liver and kidney injury in rabbits while the methanolic extract and fractions of DS were applied in the dose range of 150 mg/Kg to 300 mg/Kg body weight for 21 days.

Objective: To explore the correlation between vitamin D levels, related endocrine/metabolic factors, and the risk of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) in children and adolescents, and to assess whether vitamin D levels are associated with SCFE severity.
Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted from March 2014 to October 2023 in Shengjing hospital. Patients diagnosed with SCFE were categorized as the SCFE group.

Background: The role of human bone morphogenetic protein-infused in combination with traditional Chinese medicine Carthamus tinctorius in repairing oral bone defects (OBD) was evaluated in this work.
Methods: An experiment was conducted on a rat OBD model, where rats were randomly rolled into Groups A, B, and C based on their different treatments. Micro-CT was utilized to measure jaw bone volume fraction (BV/TV) and bone mineral density (BMD) in rats, while a biomechanical testing machine assessed compressive strength of the jaw bone.
