A Prospective Study on Different Doses of Gammaglobulin Plus Aspirin in the Pediatric Kawasaki Disease and the Impacts on CRP and WBC Levels.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of different doses of gammaglobulin combined with aspirin in treating pediatric Kawasaki disease and its impact on C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cell (WBC) levels.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted with 150 children (3groups) diagnosed with Kawasaki disease. Group A received a higher dose of intravenous gammaglobulin (2.

Study on chemical constituents and antioxidant activities of L.

Objective: is a plant that holds high value in terms of its edibility, medicinal properties, and ornamental appeal. Creating no sense he aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant and antitumor properties of extracts derived from various parts of the carnation plant. Metabolomics technology was employed to identify the primary chemical constituents.

Effects of different postharvest drying processes on flavonoid content and enzymatic activity of (L.) Schott flowers for industrial and medicinal use.

Traditionally, fresh flowers (SJF) and flowers buds (SJFB) are dried prior to further processing and use. Here, we investigated the ways in which drying techniques, including sun drying (SD), steam drying (STD), microwave drying (MD), hot air drying (HAD, 40 °C, 60 °C, 80 °C, 100 °C), and freeze drying (FD), alter the flavonoid composition of freshly-harvested SJF and SJFB. The flavonoid content of dried samples was determined by Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Diode Array Detector (UPLC-DAD).

The delaying effect of Qingxin Zishen decoction on ovarian aging: Examining regulation of ovarian mitochondria apoptosis in aged rats.

Ovarian aging is a significant challenge in gynecology, and there is currently no effective treatment for it. However, the medicinal agent Qingxin Zishen decoction (QZD) has shown potential in the treatment of ovarian dysfunction. The present study aimed to evaluate the mitochondrial apoptotic mechanism of delayed ovarian aging in QZD in aging rats.

Elevated cerebrospinal fluid protein levels associated with poor short-term outcomes after spinal cord stimulation in patients with disorders of consciousness.

Background: Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a promising treatment for patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC); however, the laboratory examinations and different electrodes (permanent #39286 vs. temporary percutaneous #3777, Medtronic, USA) that are associated with postoperative outcomes are unclear. The study aims to study the association between the change in postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein level and improvement in consciousness after SCS in DoC patients and to explore whether different electrodes were associated with elevated CSF protein levels.

Enhanced magnetic resonance imaging manifestations of paediatric intervertebral disc calcification combined with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament: case report and literature review.

Background: Since the first description of paediatric intervertebral disc calcification (IDC) by Báron in 1924, only approximately 400 cases have been reported in the literature. Paediatric IDC combined with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is an even rarer condition, with only 8 cases described in detail to date. In this paper, we present a review of the disease characteristics described in the relevant English language literature and discuss the possible mechanisms of lesion enhancement in contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
