Stellate ganglion blockade (SGB) is a practical approach to managing many clinical disorders. Ultrasound-guided SGB currently adopted as more effective and safer method in humans. Developing this technique rats would facilitate further study of application. The present examined physiological responses following ultrasound-guided Sprague-Dawley rats. Under general anesthesia, lidocaine containing Chicago blue dye (1.0%-1.5% 40-60 µL) was injected into the unilateral stellate (SG). Ptosis...
Several studies have examined the association between hyperglycemia in first 10 to 12 weeks following surgery and postoperative survival glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients. We hypothesize that episodes of before, during and/or for primary GBM are independent predictors disease progression mortality.A total 162 adult patients were included analysis. All received adjuvant temozolamide. The free (PFS) overall (OS) rates at 1 5 years analyzed using different glycemic cutoff values....
Among mitotic kinases, Aurora kinases are the most widely studied, since their expression is restricted to mitosis. They play a key role in chromosome segregation and cell polyploidy. important therapeutic targets, several research groups have directed efforts toward identification of kinase inhibitors. The aim this study screen characterize inhibitors from natural substances extracted plants that used Vietnamese pharmacopoeia. We characterized vitro Derrone, Erythrina orientalis L. MURR, as...
Under the pressure of Human Adenovirus (HAdV)-associated acute respiratory infection (ARI) outbreak in children Northern Vietnam end 2022, this study was initiated to identify HAdV subtype(s) and examine associated clinical features risk factors more severe cases.This evaluated pediatric patients with ARI which had tested positive for between October November 2022 using a multiplex real-time PCR panel. Nasopharyngeal aspirates or nasal swab samples were used sequencing subtypes. Clinical...
Elevated sympathetic activity and chronic inflammation are known contributory factors observed in hypertension. We have that sympathoinhibitory electroacupuncture (SI-EA) at acupoints ST36-37 alleviates Additionally, EA SP6-7 exerts anti-inflammatory (AI-EA) effects. However, it is not whether simultaneous stimulation of this combination attenuates or enhances individual A 2 × factorial design was used to test the hypothesis combining SI-EA AI-EA (cEA) leads greater reduction hypertension by...
Electroacupuncture (EA) stimulates somatic median afferents underlying P5-6 acupoints and modulates parasympathoexcitatory reflex responses through central processing in the brainstem. Although decreases blood pressure heart rate by neural-mediated Bezold-Jarisch are modulated EA opioid actions nucleus tractus solitarius ambiguus, role of hypothalamus is unclear. The hypothalamic paraventricular (PVN) activated sympathetic regulates outflow sympathoexcitatory cardiovascular responses. In...
High blood pressure (BP) associated with sympathetic overactivity is observed in hypertensive animals and patients. We have recently reported that electroacupuncture (EA) at two sets of acupoints ST36-37 SP6-7 attenuates BP Dahl salt-sensitive (DSSH) rats through a positive interaction between nerve activity inhibition (sympathoinhibition, SI-EA) anti-inflammation (AI-EA). Chronic inflammation not only influenced by (SNA) but also parasympathetic (PNA). However, it remains unclear if...
Acupuncture is increasingly used to manage high blood pressure (BP) as a complementary therapy. However, the mechanisms underlying its hypotensive effects remain unclear. Our previous studies have shown that electroacupuncture (EA) at ST36-37 acupoints, overlying deep peroneal nerve, attenuates pressor responses through adenosine A 2A receptors (A R) in rostral ventrolateral medulla (rVLM). it uncertain whether rVLM R contributes EA's BP-lowering effect sustained hypertension. We...
2627 Background: There are increasing reports of thromboembolic complications in patients with COVID-19 infection. According to a meta-analysis 28,173 patients, the prevalence venous thromboembolism (VTE) hospitalized ranges from 7.9% 22.7% based on severity COVID-19. Cancer and anti-cancer therapies known risk factors for thrombosis. Another study registry data reported overall VTE cancer be 14.5%. Our aimed assess diagnosed as well association between setting infection large predominantly...
Using a unique representative panel survey of Vietnamese enterprises in 2020, we find that the pandemic and associated government support package had heterogenous impact across firms.The package, particularly tax cuts deferrals, helped alleviate short term stress, but tight ineligibility criteria cumbersome procedures impacted take-up.Econometric analysis suggests likelihood accessing was with firm size, larger firms more likely to receive compared smaller firms, even after controlling for...
Abstract Background Under the pressure of outbreak respiratory Human Adenovirus (HAdV) infections in children Northern Vietnam end 2022, this study was initiated to identify HAdV subtype(s) responsible for relation clinical features patients and examine risk factors more severe cases. Methods The conducted on pediatric tested positive with using multiplex real- time PCR between October November 2022. Nasal swab samples were used sequencing subtypes data collected retrospectively.

Overexcitation of sympathetic activity strongly related to increased blood pressure (BP) is decreased by electroacupuncture (EA). Reflex elevated BP response and neuronal in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (rVLM), a central region for outflow are reduced stimulation somatosensory nerves during 30 min EA. However, it unclear if medullary nucleus ambiguus (NA) parasympathetic also influenced EA BP. In hypertensive subjects, therapy over deep peroneal tibial (ST36-37+SP6-7) decreases high We...
Elevated sympathetic activities and low-grade chronic inflammation are observed in hypertensive (HTNive) patients animals including dahl salt-sensitive (DSSH) rats. We have shown that stimulation of the deep peroneal nerve tibial by combined electroacupuncture (cEA) at combination two sets acupoints ST36-37 SP6-7 decreased blood pressure (BP) proinflammatory cytokines HTNive subjects through sympathoinhibition anti-inflammation. Acetylcholine (ACh), primary neurotransmitter parasympathetic...
