The prognostic impact of preoperative CA19-9 on resectable cholangiocarcinoma: a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: This study aimed to determine the prognostic survival impact of preoperative carbohydrate CA19-9 levels in resectable cholangiocarcinoma.

Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Embase databases were searched for articles published through April 28, 2023. The relationship between preoperative serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 and the prognosis of patients with resectable cholangiocarcinoma was analyzed.

Clinical effects of debulking surgery combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy in treating ovarian cancer and its influence on tumor markers and immune function.

Objective: Exploring the clinical efficacy of tumor cell reduction combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy in treatment of ovarian cancer.

Methods: Retrospective analysis was conducted of one hundred patients with advanced ovarian cancer at Yellow River Sanmenxia Hospital from January 2017 to December 2022. They were divided into control group and observation group based on treatment methods, with 50 cases in each group.

Relationships among perceived social support, mindful self-care, and resilience among a sample of nurses in three provinces in China: a cross-sectional study.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to determine the relationships among perceived social support, mindful self-care, and resilience in a sample of nurses in three provinces of China.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in seven hospitals in Guangdong, Guizhou, and Henan provinces between August and October, 2023; the provinces are located in south, southwest, and central China. A total of 389 nurses were surveyed using a self-designed sociodemographic characteristics questionnaire and the Chinese versions of Multidimensional Scale of the Perceived Social Support, Brief-Mindful Self-Care Scale and the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10).

Ischaemic stroke after methamphetamine intake is less common than haemorrhagic stroke.

To use a simple hernia needle for single-port laparoscopic percutaneous inguinal hernia repair in children: a 5-year experience study.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the technique and practical significance of using a simple hernia needle in single-port laparoscopic herniorrhaphy in pediatric patients.

Methods: The study conducted a retrospective analysis of all pediatric patients who underwent treatment for inguinal hernia using single-port laparoscopic herniorrhaphy with a simple hernia needle at Yellow River Sanmenxia Hospital from June 2018 to May 2023. The medical records of all the children were collected, and clinical characteristics, procedural information, and follow-up data were carefully reviewed.

Application of temperature-sensitive liquid embolic agent loaded with oxaliplatin in the TACE procedure for rabbit VX2 gastric cancer.

As a promising drug delivery system, the temperature-sensitive liquid embolic agent (TempSLE) has yet to be reported in animal experiments in treating gastric cancer. We observed and compared computed tomography (CT) imaging changes, tumor volume, HE staining, and immunohistochemistry after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) treatment in rabbit VX2 gastric cancer models to clarify the effectiveness of TempSLE loaded with oxaliplatin (TempSLE/Oxa) in treating gastric cancer. One milliliter TempSLE can be loaded with 20 mg oxaliplatin.

Risk Factors and Countermeasures of Stress Urinary Incontinence after Mesh Implantation for Patients with Pelvic Organ Prolapse.

Objectives: We aimed to explore the risk factors and countermeasures of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after mesh implantation for patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP).

Methods: A total of 224 POP patients undergoing mesh implantation from January 2018 to December 2021 were divided into group A (n = 68, postoperative new-onset SUI) and group B (n = 156, without postoperative new-onset SUI). Their clinical data were collected, and the treatment outcomes were analyzed.
