Objective: To observe the efficacy of comined administration of acupuncture and anesthetics for mixed hemorrhoids surgery and its postoperative complications.
Methods: A total of 40 cases of mixed hemorrhoid patients were randomized into acupuncture-assisted anesthesia (AAA) group and narcotic drug group (control), with 20 cases in each. For patients of AAA group, electroacupuncture (EA, 2 Hz/100 Hz, 9 mA) was applied to Changqiang (GV 1) and Yaoshu (GV 2) for 20 min, and 1% lidocaine (5 mL) was injected into GV 1. For patients of control group, 20 mL and 10 mL of 1% lidocaine were injected into GV 2 and GV 1, separately. The patients' pain response, anus muscular relaxion state, and postoperative complications were observed to evaluate their clinical efficacy.
Results: Of the 20 cases in AAA and control groups, 16 and 18 cases had a striking analgesic effect, 4 and 2 were effective, respectively. No significant difference was found between two groups in the analgesic efficacy for surgery (P>0.05). Postoperative urinary retention, pain severity I and II and the cases with intoxic response in AAA and control groups were 1 and 8, 16 and 6, 4 and 14, and 1 and 9, separately. The effects of AAA group were significantly superior to those of control group in lessening urinary retention and toxication, and in inducing analgesia (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Acupuncture combined with narcotic drugs is superior to simple anesthetics for mixed hemorrhoids surgery in reducing postoperative complications.

There is currently no clinically valid biomarker for predicting the growth and prognosis of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). The most promising candidates with the highest diagnostic values are plasma D-dimers and markers of activated neutrophils, i.e.

This joint practice guideline/procedure standard was collaboratively developed by the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM), the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI), the European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO), and the PET task force of the Response Assessment in Neurooncology Working Group (PET/RANO). Brain metastases are the most common malignant central nervous system (CNS) tumors. PET imaging with radiolabeled amino acids and to lesser extent [F]FDG has gained considerable importance in the assessment of brain metastases, especially for the differential diagnosis between recurrent metastases and treatment-related changes which remains a limitation using conventional MRI.

Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is more common in Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Considering that ruptured AAA is potentially fatal, timely management of AAA would result in long-term survival benefits. We assess the prevalence and characteristics of AAA in resectable NSCLC patients who would benefit from AAA surveillance.

Background & Aims: Current prognostic models for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) are not extensively validated and widely accepted. We aimed to develop and validate a continuous model incorporating tumor burden and biology for individual survival prediction and risk stratification.
Methods: Overall, 4,377 treatment-naive candidates for whom TACE was recommended, from 39 centers in five countries, were enrolled and divided into training, internal validation, and two external validation datasets.

Grass carp is an important commercial fish in China that is plagued by various diseases, especially the hemorrhagic disease induced by grass carp reovirus (GCRV). Autophagy, a highly conserved biological process among eukaryotes, is pivotal in maintaining cellular homeostasis and managing various stressors, including viral infections. Uncoordinated (Unc) 51-like kinase 2 (ULK2) is considered an initiator of the autophagic process.
