Article Synopsis
  • - The document discusses the challenges of treating young patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who also have gastric ulcers, specifically highlighting the uncertainty around using drug-coated balloons in these cases.
  • - A case study of a 54-year-old man with acute STEMI showed that after initial cardiac issues and thrombus discovery, he underwent a novel treatment approach involving drug balloon angioplasty without stents, leading to positive results.
  • - The conclusion suggests that percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) without stents could be an effective option for certain STEMI patients, indicating a need for more research in this area.

Article Synopsis
  • - Bradycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (BIC) develops from chronic low heart rates, resulting in heart enlargement and reduced function, but can significantly improve with timely treatment.
  • - A patient experienced bradycardia from age 7 without treatment until she later developed BIC after 42 years, eventually leading to atrial fibrillation, which normalized her heart shape.
  • - This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and intervention for BIC, as well as potential positive outcomes like improved heart structure with increased heart rates.

Lessons Learned: The efficacy of single-agent chemotherapy was not significantly different from that of double-agent chemotherapy in concurrent chemoradiotherapy for inoperable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Single-agent concurrent chemoradiotherapy had lower gastrointestinal and hematologic toxicity. Overall survival and progression-free survival were not significantly different between single- and double-agent concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

Background: Moxibustion has a therapeutic effect of reducing swelling and relieving pain in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) but its mechanism is uncertain.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of moxibustion on serum levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in patients with RA and to explore the possible mechanism of moxibustion.

Methods: This study involved 46 RA patients who had fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were randomly assigned to a treatment group and a control group in an equal ratio.

Introduction: Chemotherapy regimens are often a 2-drug regimen in concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy for esophageal cancer (EC). However, some retrospective studies have suggested that for patients with EC receiving radiotherapy combined with 2-drug chemotherapy have the severe toxicity. And S-1 alone with the combination of radiotherapy treatment effect is good, and achieved good clinical remission rate.
