Transcutaneous oxygen tension-guided hyperbaric oxygen therapy for preventing skin necrosis after hyaluronic acid filler injections.

Introduction: Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, popular for facial cosmetic enhancements, pose risks of vascular complications like skin necrosis due to arterial blockage, necessitating effective treatments such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).

Methodology: This study presents a series of cases where measurements of transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO) informed the application of HBOT for skin necrosis induced by HA.

Clinical Presentation And Outcomes: In cases 1 and 3, following the injection of HA, potential skin necrosis was observed.

Left atrial shortening fraction to predict fetal cardiac abnormalities and dysfunction in gestational diabetes mellitus.

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of left atrial shortening fraction (LASF) in the detection of fetal cardiac abnormalities and dysfunction in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Methods: In this study, we enrolled 256 pregnant women and divided them into GDM group ( = 156) and control group ( = 100). Fetal echocardiography was performed at 24-28 weeks of gestation to measure the LASF and interventricular septum (IVS) thickness.

Co-effects of global climatic dynamics and local climatic factors on scrub typhus in mainland China based on a nine-year time-frequency analysis.

Background: Scrub Typhus (ST) is a rickettsial disease caused by . The number of ST cases has been increasing in China during the past decades, which attracts great concerns of the public health.

Methods: We obtained monthly documented ST cases greater than 54 cases in 434 counties of China during 2012-2020.

Epidemiological characteristics and spatiotemporal patterns of scrub typhus in Fujian province during 2012-2020.

Background: Scrub typhus has become a serious public health concern in the Asia-Pacific region including China. There were new natural foci continuously recognized and dramatically increased reported cases in mainland China. However, the epidemiological characteristics and spatiotemporal patterns of scrub typhus in Fujian province have yet to be investigated.

Improved outcomes using unmanipulated haploidentical hematopoietic stem cells combined with third-party umbilical cord blood transplantation for non-malignant diseases in children: The experience of a single center.

Background: Unmanipulated haploid HSCT for SAA has resulted in improved outcomes over recent years. However, studies related to unmanipulated haploid HSCs combined with tp-UCB transplantation for other types of NMD are rare. Accordingly, we present the outcomes of 109 pediatric patients with life-threatening NMD undergoing unmanipulated haploid HSCs combined with tp-UCB transplantation.

Repetitive 1.6 ATA hyperbaric oxygen therapy for bilateral ARCO Stage II steroid-associated osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy has been demonstrated to have beneficial effects on the early stages of steroid-associated osteonecrosis (SAON) of the femoral head. Since high HBO2 pressure (e.g.

Identification and Functional Enrichment Analysis of Potential Diagnostic and Therapeutic Targets in Adamantinomatous Craniopharyngioma.

Adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma (ACP) is a congenital epithelial tumor in the sellar region with benign histological manifestation but invasive. Currently, surgery is the main treatment for it, but its recurrence rate is high. Therefore, it is of great importance to explore the mechanism of occurrence and development of ACP and to identify new molecules.

Computer-assisted prediction of atherosclerotic intimal thickness based on weight of adrenal gland, interleukin-6 concentration, and neural networks.

Objective: Atherosclerosis (AS) is the main pathological basis of ischemic cardio-cerebrovascular diseases, and the intimal thickness (IT) of large arteries is regarded as a powerful evaluation indicator for AS. We established an effective neural network model for automatic prediction of the IT and analyzed the high-risk warning indicators of IT.

Methods: The weight of the left adrenal (WLA) was evaluated.

Expression tendency and prognostic value of TCF21 in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Background: Transcription factor 21 (TCF21) is identified as a tumor suppressor in a variety of human tumors. The purpose of the study was to examine its expression tendency and prognostic value in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Methods: Relative expression of TCF21 mRNA in tissue samples from HCC patients and healthy volunteers were detected through quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) while its protein level was examined via immunohistochemistry analysis.
