Comparison of fetal heart rate baseline estimation by the cardiotocograph network and clinicians: a multidatabase retrospective assessment study.

Background: This study aims to compare the fetal heart rate (FHR) baseline predicted by the cardiotocograph network (CTGNet) with that estimated by clinicians.

Material And Methods: A total of 1,267 FHR recordings acquired with different electrical fetal monitors (EFM) were collected from five datasets: 84 FHR recordings acquired with F15 EFM (Edan, Shenzhen, China) from the Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center, 331 FHR recordings acquired with SRF618B5 EFM (Sanrui, Guangzhou, China), 234 FHR recordings acquired with F3 EFM (Lian-Med, Guangzhou, China) from the NanFang Hospital of Southen Medical University, 552 cardiotocographys (CTG) recorded using STAN S21 and S31 (Neoventa Medical, Mölndal, Sweden) and Avalon FM40 and FM50 (Philips Healthcare, Amsterdam, The Netherlands) from the University Hospital in Brno, Czech Republic, and 66 FHR recordings acquired using Avalon FM50 fetal monitor (Philips Healthcare, Amsterdam, The Netherlands) at St Vincent de Paul Hospital (Lille, France). Each FHR baseline was estimated by clinicians and CTGNet, respectively.

[The efficacy and safety of salvage surgery for local recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a systematic review and Meta-analysis].

To assess the current evidence regarding the efficacy, safety, and potential advantages of endoscopic compared with open salvage surgery for patients with local recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma. A systematic search of Pubmed/Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases ranged between 2000 and 2017 was conducted. Included studies reported specific residual or local recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer survival data.

Gene co-expression network analysis identifies BRCC3 as a key regulator in osteogenic differentiation of osteoblasts through a β-catenin signaling dependent pathway.

Objectives: The prognosis of osteoporosis is very poor, and it is very important to identify a biomarker for prevention of osteoporosis. In this study, we aimed to identify candidate markers in osteoporosis and to investigate the role of candidate markers in osteogenic differentiation.

Materials And Methods: Using Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network analysis, we identified three hub genes might associate with osteoporosis.

Tetracycline-inducible shRNA targeting antisense long non-coding RNA HIF1A-AS2 represses the malignant phenotypes of bladder cancer.

Various studies have indicated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play vital roles in the cancer development and progression. LncRNA hypoxia inducible factor 1alpha antisense RNA-2 (HIF1A-AS2) is upregulated in gastric carcinomas and knockdown of HIF1A-AS2 expression by siRNA could inhibit cell proliferation in vitro and tumorigenesis in vivo. Inspired by these observations, we hypothesized that HIF1A-AS2 possibly plays the analogous roles in bladder cancer.

Comparison of the diagnostic efficacy of white light endoscopy and magnifying endoscopy with narrow band imaging for early gastric cancer: a meta-analysis.

Objective: Magnifying endoscopy with narrow band imaging (ME-NBI) is widely used in gastroscopy, especially in the diagnosis of early gastric cancer. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to compare the diagnostic efficacy of white light imaging (WLI) and that of ME-NBI for early gastric cancer.

Methods: PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library were searched to identify studies which met the inclusion criteria.

[Application of domestically made endoscopic stapling instrument for laparoscopic assisted rectal cancer resection].

Objective: To investigate the safety and feasibility of domestically made endoscopic stapling instrument in laparoscopic assisted rectal cancer resection (Dixon).

Methods: Sixty-four patients with rectal cancer were randomly divided into the research group (35 cases) to receive laparoscopic assisted rectal cancer resection using ENDO RLC general endoscopic linear cutter and single-use loading unit and circular staplers with staples (from REACH medical equipment co.LTD) and the control group (29 cases) to receive surgery with the corresponding products widely used (fom Johnson and Johnson Medical Euipment C.

[Analysis of risk factors of nonspecific low back pain in a community population: a case-control study].

Objective: To analyze the risk factors of nonspecific low back pain in community populations.

Methods: Two community populations were investigated using questionnaires in this case-control study. The questionnaire was designed to collect data including age, gender, body weight, marriage, education, income, occupation, labor intensity, smoking, alcohol drinking and social mental status.

Assessment of risk factors for delayed colonic post-polypectomy hemorrhage: a study of 15553 polypectomies from 2005 to 2013.

Background And Aim: Delayed colonic postpolypectomy bleeding is the commonest serious complication after polypectomy. This study aimed to utilize massive sampling data of polypectomy to analyze risk factors for delayed postpolypectomy bleeding.

Patients And Methods: The endoscopic data of 5600 patients with 15553 polyps removed (2005 to 2013) were analyzed retrospectively through univariate analysis and multiple logistic regression analysis to evaluate the risk factors for delayed bleeding.

[Modified technique for correction of the orbital hypertelorism].

Objective: To explore the possibility of para-orbital soft-tissue expansion, before orbital osteotomy and medial translocation procedures with a combined intracranial-extracranial approach.

Methods: Tissue expansion in the region of the zygomatic and temporal has been undergone for 3 weeks before the traditional intracranial-extracranial approach for orbital osteotomy and medial translocation in two patients. The healing between the orbital bone was studied with measurement of interorbital distance and three-dimensional CT.
