IGST Combined with Conventional Drug Therapy and TCM Therapy for Treatment of Bilateral Vestibular Hypofunction.

Objective: To investigate the effects of intensive gaze stability training (IGST) combined with conventional drug therapy and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapy on hearing recovery and quality of life (QOL) in patients with bilateral vestibular dysfunction.

Materials And Methods: A total of 120 patients with bilateral vestibular dysfunction admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to January 2020 were recruited and assigned to group A ( = 60) and group B ( = 60) based on the order of admission. Group B received conventional medication and TCM therapy, and group A received IGST plus conventional medication and TCM therapy.

Upregulation Of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Receptor Type C Associates To The Combination Of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis And Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma And Is Predictive Of A Poor Prognosis.

Introduction: PTC is not generally considered a lethal disease, but prone to recurrence as the prognosis. Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is an important factor that affects the prognosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). It is crucial to find biomarkers to identify the combination of HT with PTC and to predict the prognosis.

Decreased proliferation ability and differentiation potential of mesenchymal stem cells of osteoporosis rat.

Objective: To explore decreased proliferation ability and differentiation potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) of osteoporosis rat.

Methods: MSCs were obtained from osteoporosis rat, and proliferation potency and impaired osteogenic differentiation potential were determined.

Results: The result showed a significant downregulation of MSCs pluripotency related gene (Oct 4) and osteogenic genes (BSP, OCN) expression in OVX MSCs compared with Sham MSCs (P<0.
