The extent of the region of the diaphragm around the esophagus that displays greatly reduced activity during the expulsive phase of vomiting was determined from electromyographic studies in cats to be about 0.75-1.0 cm from the esophagus. Horseradish peroxidase injected into this region retrogradely labeled motoneurons throughout most of the rostral-caudal extent of the phrenic nucleus, with the exception of caudal C6 and rostral C7. This widespread intermingling of motoneurons that innervate the region of reduced activity with other phrenic motoneurons creates a difficulty for needed follow-up studies of diaphragmatic control during vomiting.

Objective: Previous experiments have demonstrated that BGM0504, a GLP-1R/GIPR dual agonist drug by molecular dynamics-guided optimization, had enhanced agonistic activity compared to tirzepatide. This study aims to investigate its safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) in Chinese healthy volunteers.
Methods: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled and dose-escalation Phase I study was conducted as follows: a single dose (2.

Background: Technology-based interventions are increasingly integrated to improve symptom management of pediatric oncology patients. However, evidence for their effectiveness remains low across various studies characterized by different methodologies and patient populations. This study aimed to synthesize and analyze the effectiveness of technology-based intervention in symptom management in pediatric oncology patients.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Xiao'er Feike Granules (XFG) is an approved and widely used classical Chinese medicine prescription for the treatment of pediatric respiratory diseases. Extensive clinical studies have reported that XFG demonstrates high efficacy and minimal adverse reactions in treating acute bronchitis (AB). However, there is an urgent need for a more cohesive evaluation of the evidence regarding the safe clinical use of XFG for AB.

Background: Postoperative gastroparesis syndrome (PGS) is a common postoperative complication characterized by epigastralgia, nausea, and vomiting. Acupuncture is widely used to aid recovery, but its efficacy and safety have not been systematically evaluated.
Method: We retrieved randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using acupuncture as the primary intervention from six databases.

Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) causes significant postoperative pain, necessitating effective multimodal analgesia strategies. This study evaluated the efficacy of the external oblique intercostal block (EOIB) in this context.
Methods: This prospective, randomized, controlled, single-blind study conducted between April and December 2023 included 60 patients who underwent LSG.
