Background: The effectiveness of the hemostatic powder TC-325 as a single endoscopic treatment for acute nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding is uncertain. Objective: To compare with standard treatments in control active from causes. Design: One-sided, noninferiority, randomized, controlled trial. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02534571) Setting: University teaching hospitals Asia-Pacific region. Patients: 224 adult patients cause on endoscopy. Intervention: (n = 111) or 113). Measurements:...
NF-E2-related factor 2 (NRF2) regulates transcription of phase II cytoprotective enzymes to protect normal cells against oxidative stress. However, a high level NRF2 offers growth advantage, chemoresistance, and radioresistance in cancer. In the present study, we have identified convallatoxin as novel inhibitor NRF2/ARE. Suppression by was not transcriptionally mediated, but regulated at proteolysis. Convallatoxin activated GSK-3β suppression required Neh6 domain. sensitised A549...
Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has proven safe and effective for pulmonary wedge resection lobectomy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety feasibility uniportal VATS segmentectomy by comparing its outcomes with those multiportal approach at a single center.The records 84 patients who underwent from August 2010 2018, including 33 in group 51 group, were retrospectively reviewed analyzed.Anesthesia operative times similar groups (215 minutes vs. 220...
BACKGROUND: The demand for plasma manufacturing intravenous immunoglobulin and other derivatives is increasing. A prospective study was conducted to determine whether up 840 mL of could be safely effectively collected in conjunction with saline infusion during plasmapheresis. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Ninety‐one donors were enrolled a modified 3 × crossover assess the equivalence three collection methods: 750 no (control, Method 1), 250‐mL at end donation (Method 2), 800 500‐mL 3). primary...
Diabet. Med. 29, e121–e125 (2012) Abstract Aims The influence of hyperglycaemia on the performance glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimating equations remains to be determined. We compared creatinine‐based GFR with cystatin C‐based in patients Type 2 diabetes according glycaemic status. Methods In a cross‐sectional study 210 diabetes, we staged status by HbA 1c tertiles [HbA ≤ 75 mmol/mol (9.0%) ( n = 70), 76–95 (9.1–10.8%) >95 (10.8%) 70)] and measured GFR. Isotopic was using renal...
Aim Donor selection for milk banks is essential to ensure the safety and nutritional quality of donor milk, that prospective her breastfeeding infant do not come harm through donating. Australian Red Cross Lifeblood Milk went a robust process develop set criteria screening potential breast donors, which included development Questionnaire (DQ), supported by formal Guidelines Selection Donors. Key questions from DQ were made available donors self‐screen prior assessment process. The aim this...
Venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a lifesaving technique for patients experiencing respiratory failure.When VV ECMO fails to provide adequate support despite optimal settings, alternative strategies may be employed.One option add another venous cannula increase drainage, while insert an additional arterial return assist cardiac function.Alternatively, separate circuit can implemented function in parallel with the existing circuit.We present case which method was...
5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is a chemotherapeutic agent commonly used for treatment of solid tumors, including colorectal cancer. However, chemoresistance against often limits its success chemotherapy and, therefore, finding out appropriate adjuvant(s) that might overcome 5-FU bears significant importance. In the present study, we have found α-mangostin can sensitize 5-FU-resistant SNUC5/5-FUR colon cancer cells to apoptosis. Exposure induced DNA damages and increased intracellular...
The optimal timing for surgery in infective endocarditis (IE) with hemorrhagic stroke and neurologic deficits is difficult to decide because of the risk exacerbating provoking intracranial conversion after using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). This retrospective study aimed investigate impact presence or absence preoperative hemorrhage (ICH) on surgical outcomes IE recent stroke.The medical records all patients who underwent open heart active from February 2009 December 2020 were...
Compensatory hyperhidrosis is the main cause of patients' dissatisfaction following sympathectomy for primary hyperhidrosis. Therefore, thoracoscopic sympathetic nerve block before can be used to predict compensatory after sympathectomy. The objective this study review our recent experience with procedure, describing efficacy, safety and validity.We retrospectively reviewed medical records 107 patients who underwent a local anesthetic palmar craniofacial using 2-mm needlescope from March...
Abstract Atrial-esophageal fistula is an extremely rare disease and a life-threatening complication after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. There no consensus on the management or repair atrial-esophageal which has high mortality rate. Here, we describe lateral thoracotomy approach focused simplifying procedure in two patients.
Patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) tend to be young, tall, and thin, as do those pectus excavatum (PE). Notably, the Haller index, which measures severity of PE, tends also higher in patients PSP, further suggesting a potential predisposing factor for development PSP individuals PE. This study aimed share clinical experiences case series concomitant PE emphasize importance evaluating these two conditions together.In this single-center study, we conducted retrospective...
: Hemolytic anemia after thoracic aortic surgery is rare. A 69-year-old female patient, who underwent ascending aorta replacement for acute type dissection 7 years ago, was transferred from another hospital due to hemolytic necessitating regular blood transfusions. After engaging in interdisciplinary discussions, we ruled out alternative medical diagnoses and treatments, ultimately identifying the kinked graft as primary cause of hemolysis. Due patient's comorbidity, it deemed high-risk...
