Objective: To compare the the similarities and differences during the surrounding operation of endovascular repair (EVAR) and open surgical repair (OSR) for abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Methods: 112 patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) were selected from 2004 to 2009: among them, 66 patients were treated with EVAR, 46 patients with OSR. Data of two groups were collected and analyzed during surrounding operation.
Results: Compared to OSR group, the mean blood lost, blood transfusion and intra-operative fluid in EVAR group were significantly less than OSR group (P < 0.05). The mean time of operation, observation period in ICU and being in hospital in EVAR group were shorter than OSR group (P < 0.05). But the cost of hospitalization in EVAR was far higher than that of OSR group (P < 0.05). In short term postoperative complications the OSR group was higher than the EVAR (P < 0.05), however, there was no statistically significant difference in death rate of the two groups during surrounding operation (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: EVAR has the advantages of mild trauma, less blood loss, quicker recovery after operation, and less disturbance to internal environment. Especially, it is suitable for the patients who can not undergo open surgery repair, but its cost is still higher.

A sexually transmitted bacterium, Mycoplasma genitalium has varying rates of reported resistance to macrolide and some fluoroquinolone group antimicrobials recommended for the treatment of its infections. It is currently recommended that the treatment of these must be planned according to macrolide resistance status. The aim of this study was to determine the presence of macrolide resistance associated mutations (MRM) and fluoroquinolone resistance associated mutations (QRM) in patients infected with M.

Analyzing microbial samples remains computationally challenging due to their diversity and complexity. The lack of robust de novo protein function prediction methods exacerbates the difficulty in deriving functional insights from these samples. Traditional prediction methods, dependent on homology and sequence similarity, often fail to predict functions for novel proteins and proteins without known homologs.

Objective: Rotator cuff retear after arthroscopy repair is a difficult complication that is often due to poor tendon-bone healing. Decellularized amniotic membrane (DAM) has a variety of bioactive substances which have great potential to enhance tendon-bone healing. However, DAM has three layers, of which the middle basement layer is dense and thick.
