Application of Music Therapy in Improving Sleep Quality and Psychological Health of Pregnant Women with Hypertension: A Retrospective Study.

Objective: The aim of the study was to retrospectively study the effect of music therapy on sleep quality and mental health level of pregnant women with hypertension in pregnancy (HIP).

Methods: A total of 188 pregnant women with gestational hypertension admitted to The Fourth Hospital of Shijiazhuang from January 2022 to January 2023 were selected as the research objects. Based on various management methods documented in the medical record system, the individuals were divided into a control group (n = 88, routine management) and an observation group (n = 100, routine management + music therapy).

Two new flavanones from Hedw.

Seven flavanones, including two new compounds coupled with styryl units, communins C () and D (), as well as five known compounds, were isolated from Hedw. The planar structures of all compounds were determined using extensive spectroscopic analysis. The absolute configurations of two new compounds were assigned by comparing experimental ECD with calculated ECD.

Delayed pathological finding of a small fish bone causing a purulent cyst in the pharynx: a case report.

We describe the case of a patient who swallowed a small fish bone and felt it lodge in her pharynx, but failed to seek medical attention in a timely manner. One week later, no foreign body was found in the hypopharynx or larynx, but a small purulent cyst was present in the epiglottic vallecula. A computed tomography scan showed a high-density area on the lingual surface of the epiglottis, which was considered to represent an embedded fish bone.

A Prospective and Randomized Control Study on Effects of Thymalfasin for Injection on Perioperative Immune Function and Long-term Prognosis of Patients with Colorectal Cancer.

The objective of this study is to explore the effects of thymalfasin for injection on perioperative immune function and long-term prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). In total, 400 patients who entered the groups from February 2019 to January 2021 and underwent radical resection of CRC in the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University were the study subjects. They were separated into experimental group (0-199, XELOX chemotherapy and thymalfasin for injection) and control group (200-400, XELOX chemotherapy) by random number table, and the experimental group was randomly divided into conventional-dose group ( = 100, 1.

Changes in Cartilage and Subchondral Bone of Femoral Trochlear Groove After Patellectomy in Growing Rabbits.

Objective: To explore the effects of patellectomy on the bony and cartilaginous morphology of the trochlear groove in growing rabbits.

Methods: Forty-eight 4-week-old New Zealand white rabbits were randomly assigned to two groups. The control group underwent a sham surgical procedure, whereas the patellectomy group underwent patella excision surgery.

Effects of D-methionine in mice with noise-induced hearing loss mice.

Objective: To study the effects of D-methionine in a mouse model of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL).

Methods: We investigated changes in auditory function and microscopic cochlear structure in a mouse model of NIHL, and carried out 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) immunostaining and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling, and examined expression levels of connexins 26 and 30 by western blot.

Results: The auditory brainstem response threshold was significantly increased by noise exposure.
