Lateral malleolus-first fixation improves short-term recovery in patients with trimalleolar fractures.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of different surgical fixation sequences on ankle joint stability and functional recovery in patients with trimalleolar fractures.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of 144 patients with trimalleolar fractures treated at Xi'an International Medical Center Hospital. Among these, 78 patients underwent the fixation sequence of lateral malleolus-posterior malleolus-medial malleolus (Group A), while 66 patients underwent the sequence of posterior malleolus-lateral malleolus-medial malleolus (Group B).

Diagnostic efficacy of ACA, aβ2-GP1, hs-CRP, and Hcy for cerebral infarction and their relationship with the disease severity.

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of anti-cardiolipin antibodies (ACA), anti-β2-glycoprotein I antibodies (aβ2-GP1), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and homocysteine (Hcy) in cerebral infarction and to explore their relationship with disease severity.

Methods: Medical records of 67 cerebral infarction patients admitted from May 2020 to January 2023 and 50 healthy individuals undergoing health checkups were retrospectively analyzed. The levels of ACA, aβ2-GP1, hs-CRP, and Hcy were compared, their correlation with National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores was assessed, and their diagnostic efficacy across different disease severities were evaluated.

Effects of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with radical laparoscopic surgery with quality nursing care on clinical efficacy and sex hormones in patients with cervical cancer.

Objective: To observe the effects of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with radical laparoscopic surgery with quality nursing care on the clinical efficacy and sex hormones of cervical cancer patients.

Methods: The clinical data of 107 patients with cervical cancer admitted to Yanan University Affiliated Hospital between January 2017 and January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed in this study. Among them, 50 patients received only laparoscopic radical surgery (surgical group), and the other 57 received neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with laparoscopic radical surgery (Joint group); patients in both groups received quality nursing care.

Efficacy of anterior-posterior decompression on thoracolumbar spine fracture with spinal cord injury and analysis of risk factors for postoperative deep vein thrombosis.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of anterior-posterior decompression on thoracolumbar spine fracture (TSF) and spinal cord injury (SCI), and assess hazard factors for postoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) through logistics regression.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was made on 130 patients with TSF and SCI admitted to our hospital between Jan 2018 and Jan 2020. Specifically, 72 were treated with anterior decompression (experimental group) and 58 were posterior decompression (control group).

[Ginsenoside Rg1 regulates the proliferation and migration of human periodontal ligament cells via Akt/eNOS signaling under nicotine stress].

Purpose: To explore the effects and molecular mechanisms of ginsenoside Rg1 on the proliferation and migration of human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLCs) under nicotine stress.

Methods: HPDLCs were isolated and cultured by method of explant cell culture. The cells were cultured under nicotine stress for 7 days, and treated respectively with ginsenoside Rg1 (0.

Early diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of epilepsy with continuous spikes and waves during slow sleep.

The study is to investigate the importance of early diagnosis and treatment to the prognosis of epilepsy with continuous spikes and waves during slow sleep (CSWS). A total of 8 cases of CSWS children were followed up for 6 months to 4 years. Retrospective analysis of the clinical and electroencephalographic (EEG) characteristics, treatment and prognosis was performed in these 8 cases.
