Expression and potential mechanism of metabolism-related genes and CRLS1 in non-small cell lung cancer.

Cardiolipin (CL) is a phospholipid localized in the mitochondria, which is essential for mitochondrial structure and function. Human cardiolipin synthase 1 (CRLS1) is important in regulating phosphatidylglycerol (PG) remodeling and CL biosynthesis. However, the expression and distinct prognostic value of CRLS1 in neoplasms, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), is not well established.

[Social network analysis of traditional Chinese medicine on treatment of constipation].

The methods of literature metrology and data mining were used to study the research topics and social network analysis of traditional Chinese medicine for constipation. The major Chinese databases were searched to include the research studies of traditional Chinese medicine for constipation. BICOMS analysis software was used to extract and collect the main information and produce co-occurrence Matrix; gCLUTO software was used for cluster analysis.

Does Total Gastrectomy Provide Better Outcomes than Distal Subtotal Gastrectomy for Distal Gastric Cancer? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background/aims: Total gastrectomy (TG) has shown to be superior regarding low risk of recurrence and readmission to distal subtotal gastrectomy (DG) for treatment of distal stomach cancer, but the incidence of postoperative morbidity and mortality in TG cannot be ignored. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to compare the effectiveness between TG and DG for distal stomach cancer.

Methodology: A search in PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Chinese Biomedical Database through January 2016 was performed.

Preemptive versus prophylactic protocol to prevent cytomegalovirus infection after renal transplantation: a meta-analysis and systematic review of randomized controlled trials.

Objective: This review was conducted to assess the efficacy of preemptive versus prophylactic protocols for the prevention and treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and disease after renal transplantation.

Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, SCI, the China Journal Full-text Database, the Chinese Biomedical Database, the Chinese Scientific Journals Full-text Database, and the CMA Digital Periodicals were searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of preemptive versus prophylactic protocols for the prevention and treatment of CMV infections after renal transplantation (up to April 2010). Two reviewers independently extracted data using a designed extraction form.

[Effect of dexamethasone on atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery: a meta-analysis].

Objective: To assess the effect of preoperative dexamethasone on the occurrence of postoperative atrial fibrillation.

Methods: Random controlled trails were gathered though searches of PubMed (1966 - 2009.11), EMBASE (1974 - 2009.

Iron deficiency anemia in Helicobacter pylori infection: meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and iron deficiency anemia are prevalent in disadvantaged populations worldwide. The benefit of H.
