Modified 'cross-stealing' repair of nasal septal perforation using unilateral inverted mucosal flap.

Nasal septal perforations (SP) are common yet challenging conditions encountered in otorhinolaryngology. Endoscopic repair of nasal septal perforations using nasal pedicle mucosal flaps has become an important treatment method. However, there are no established guidelines for selecting the appropriate mucosal flaps for repair, and the choice largely depends on the surgeon's experience.

Hyperperfusion is related to vessel recanalization, tissue reperfusion, and collateral circulation. To determine the prognostic impact of hyperperfusion after an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) identified by arterial spin labeling (ASL) cerebral blood flow. Studies published in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched.

CP/HA/HGF Conductive Composite Scaffolds with Synergistic Electrical Stimulation for Nerve Regeneration.

The challenge of nerve regeneration stems from the diminished vitality of mature neurons post-injury. The construction of a suitable microenvironment at the injury site to facilitate axonal regeneration is a crucial aspect of nerve injury repair. In this work, a conductive and biocompatible composite material, CP/HA/HGF, is designed by grafting polypyrrole onto chitosan and compounding it with hyaluronic acid and functional short peptides for neural regeneration.

Relative anterior spinal overgrowth in mild and moderate adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: a retrospective study.

To determine whether relative anterior spinal overgrowth (RASO) occurs regardless of scoliosis segments and severity, and to explore the pattern of vertebral body height changes in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). A total of 125 AIS and 179 non-scoliotic adolescents were enrolled. The anterior vertebral body height (VBHa) and posterior vertebral body height (VBHp) were measured on lateral spine radiographs, and the VBHa/VBHp ratio was calculated.

Association between serum uric acid, hyperuricemia and low muscle mass in middle-aged and elderly adults: A national health and nutrition examination study.

Backgrounds: Recent research suggests that uric acid, as a metabolite with antioxidant properties, may affect muscle function and health. However, the association between serum uric acid (SUA) and low muscle mass remains relatively obscure. This study focuses on the association between SUA and low muscle mass in a middle-aged and elderly population in the United States.

Bladder health in U.S. Shift Workers: A Cross-Sectional Study (NHANES).

Purpose: Working during non-traditional hours is becoming more prevalent in modern societies and presents a significant hurdle to an individual's circadian rhythm. We examined the bladder health of shift workers in the United States by analyzing information obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Materials And Methods: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) datasets from 2005 to 2010 were utilized.

Correlation between coronal wedge deformity and sagittal spinal curvature in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: a retrospective analysis.

The correlation between the Cobb angle and the sagittal spinal curvature (SSC) in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) has been reported in some previous studies, but few studies have reported on the relation of coronal wedge deformity (CWD) with sagittal curvature. This study aims to investigate the correlation between CWD and SSC in AIS patients. A retrospective analysis was conducted in 122 AIS patients treated at our hospital from January 2018 to November 2023.

Health emergency preparedness behavior and its influencing factors among elderly people in the community of Qiqihar.

Objective: To facilitate targeted interventions for elderly individuals, we investigated the current status of health emergency preparedness behavior of elderly people in the community of China Qiqihar and analyzed its influencing factors.

Methods: From October 2019 to January 2020, 700 elderly people living in Qiqihar, were selected by a stratified quota sampling method for face-to-face investigation. The research tool was the Questionnaire on Health Emergency Preparedness Level of the old people in the Community, which was revised based on previous studies.

Raddeanin A suppresses intracellular Methylcytosine DNA modification engaged the metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The Anemonoides Raddeana (Rege) Holubhe is commonly employed in clinical practice as a traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of conditions such as rheumatism and limb numbness. Raddeanin A (RA), an active compound derived from this Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), demonstrates specific anticancer properties against many tumorigeneses. However, the molecular mechanism underlying its effects on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unexplored.

Near-infrared photoimmunotherapy in cancer treatment: a bibliometric and visual analysis.

Background: Near-infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT) is an emerging cancer treatment technology that combines the advantages of optical technology and immunotherapy to provide a highly effective, precise, and low side-effect treatment approach. The aim of this study is to visualize the scientific results and research trends of NIR-PIT based on bibliometric analysis methods.

Methods: The Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database was searched in August 2024 for relevant publications in the field of NIR-PIT.

Age and gender influence on clinical manifestations of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy: a case series of 2479 Chinese patients.

Background: Significant individual differences exist in the clinical manifestations of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO). Age and gender have an impact on the presentation and severity of TAO.

Farnesol ameliorates DSS-induced IBD by regulating inflammatory cytokines, repairing the intestinal barrier, reversing the gut microbiota imbalance, and influencing fecal metabolome in C57BL/6 mice.

The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is rising globally, increasing interest in food ingredients for its prevention and control. This study evaluated the effect of farnesol (FAR), a key component of pomelo flower volatile oil, on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in C57BL/6 mice. FAR significantly alleviated DSS-induced colitis and secondary liver injury, as shown by improved body weight, DAI, colon length, and pathology, as well as liver function and blood lipid indices.
