OBJECTIVE: Type II endoleak (T2EL) worsens the long-term results of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). How to prevent T2ELs remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fibrin glue sac filling (FGSF) to prevent T2ELs after EVAR.
METHODS: A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. Patients were randomly divided into group A (standard EVAR + FGSF) and group B (standard EVAR). The follow-up plans included outpatient or telephone consultation at 1 and 3 months and computed tomography (CT) angiography at 6 months, 1 year, and once a year after EVAR.
RESULTS: A total of 64 abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) patients were randomized to the 2 groups. All patients were followed up for more than 6 months. The 2 groups showed similar baseline characteristics. The rate of T2ELs on immediate angiography in group A (9.6%) was significantly lower than that in group B (33.3%, p=0.033). Moreover, the sac area change was significantly reduced in group A at 6 months after EVAR (p=0.021). However, T2EL incidence was similar at the 6-month (p=0.055) and 1-year (p=0.057) follow-ups, and AAA diameter change was also similar at 1 year. There were similar operation times, radiation doses, severe adverse events (SAEs), and reinterventions between the 2 groups.
CONCLUSION: Fibrin glue sac filling could prevent short-term type II endoleaks and promote AAA shrinkage after 6 months. The FGSF procedure is swift and straightforward; however, patients are at risk of bowel ischemia, especially after previous bowel resections or concomitant superior mesenteric artery (SMA) disease.
CLINICAL IMPACT: Standard endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) couldn't prevent type II endoleak (T2EL). In this study, we found fibrin glue sac filling (FGSF) could prevent T2EL and promote AAA shrinkage in a short term. And the FGSF procedure is easy, it will be a useful supplement to standard EVAR for clinicians. And FGSF might have potential usefulness on ruptured aneurysms, although without direct evidence.Fibrin glue is often used to hemostasis and tissue adhesion in surgical patients and burn patients, we firstly carry out a randomized controlled study and prove that fibrin glue sac filling could prevent T2EL and promote sac remodeling.
OBJECTIVE: To assess the use of evidence-based research (EBR) approach in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of acupuncture-related therapies for primary dysmenorrhea (PD).
METHODS: PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, Chinese Biomedical Database, and China Science and Technology Journal Database were searched from January 2013 to December 2022 for RCTs of acupuncture on PD. The full text and references of each RCT were read to assess whether systematic reviews (SRs) or other types of studies with similar research questions and end-users' perspectives were cited to justify and design the trial. In addition, the discussion section were analyzed to evaluate whether trials placed the new result in the existing SRs to draw a conclusion. Multivariable logistic regression was used to find variables that associated with 3 aspects of EBR approach: (1) citing clinical studies for justification, (2) citing relevant studies that obtain the perspectives of end users, and (3) citing clinical studies for results discussion.
RESULTS: Of 473 RCTs included, 45.67% (216) of the trials cited relevant similar studies, 21.56% (102) referenced to the studies that collected end-users' perspectives, and 10.99% (52) placed result in the context of the previous research. Few RCTs appropriately applied EBR approach. Among all the included studies, 3.17% (15) of the trials used SRs to inform study questions but none of them used updated SRs with acceptable quality; 1.05% (5) of the trials cited SRs of end-user's perspectives in the justification and design of the study, and only 1 trial added results in existing SR to draw a conclusion. Year of publication, language, funding, registration, ethical approval and number of sites were significantly associated with 1 of the 3 aspects of EBR approach.
CONCLUSIONS: Few RCTs in acupuncture-related therapies for PD used the EBR approach to minimize research redundancy. Researchers, research institutes, funding agencies, ethics committees, journals and peer reviewers in acupuncture should make efforts to use and promote the EBR approach to ensure the value of new trials.
BACKGROUND: Incisional complications of groin after inflow or infrainguinal bypasses with prosthetic conduits can result in major morbidities that require reoperation, infected graft removal, and limb loss. Muscle flaps are typically performed to treat groin wound complications, but they are also done prophylactically at the time of index procedures in certain high-risk-for-poor-healing patients to mitigate anticipated groin wound complications. We used a nationwide multi-institutional database to investigate outcomes of prophylactic muscle flaps in high-risk patients who underwent prosthetic bypasses involving femoral anastomosis.
METHODS: We utilized ACS-NSQIP database 2005-2021 to identify all elective inflow and infrainguinal bypasses that involve femoral anastomoses. Only high-risk patients for poor incisional healing who underwent prosthetic conduit bypasses were selected. A 1:3 propensity-matching was performed to obtain two comparable studied groups between those with (FLAP) and without prophylactic muscle flaps (NOFLAP) based on demographics and comorbidities. 30-day postoperative outcomes were compared.
RESULTS: Among 35,011 NOFLAP, 990 of them were propensity-matched to 330 FLAP. There was no significant difference in 30-day mortality, MACE, pulmonary, or renal complications. FLAP was associated with higher bleeding requiring transfusion, longer operative time, and longer hospital stay. FLAP also had higher overall wound complications (15.2% vs. 10.6%; p = 0.03), especially deep incisional infection (4.9% vs. 2.4%; p = 0.04).
CONCLUSION: Prophylactic muscle flap for prosthetic bypasses involving femoral anastomosis in high-risk-for-poor-healing patients does not appear to mitigate 30-day wound complications. Caution should be exercised with this practice and more long-term data should be obtained to determine whether prophylactic flaps decrease the incidence of graft infection.

BACKGROUND: Alternate complement dysregulation postrenal transplantation can result in thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). There is a scarcity of data regarding outcomes based on the timing of TMA post-transplant, coupled with a lack of follow-up biopsy findings post TMA diagnosis. This study aims to assess allograft and patient outcomes in individuals developing early TMA, defined within 4 months post-transplantation, and explore any differences in follow-up surveillance biopsies compared to a non-TMA group.
DESIGN: This is a single center retrospective study between January 1, 2002 and October 10, 2019. Patients who developed TMA within 4 months post-transplantation were compared to a propensity matched non-TMA group.
RESULTS: Thirty-one patients developed TMA within 4 months of renal transplantation. Index TMA biopsy featured noticeable glomerular, and vascular lesions along with acute tubular injury. Four-month surveillance biopsy showed significant glomerulitis, transplant glomerulopathy and chronic interstitial fibrosis as compared to non-TMA group. However, at 1 year, these differences were no longer significant. There was no significant difference in patient survival (TMA vs. non-TMA, p = 0.083); however, death censored graft survival was significantly lower in the TMA group (p < 0.001). TMA patients had a significantly lower estimated glomerular filtration rate at 4 months and at 1 year as compared to the non-TMA group.
CONCLUSION: Early onset TMA post renal transplant leads to decreased renal function and lower graft survival. Early recognition and prompt treatment may help in reducing the adverse outcomes.

Expression of miR-21 has been found to be altered in almost all types of cancers, and it has been classified as an oncogenic microRNA. In addition, the expression of tumor suppressor gene RECK is associated with miR-21 overexpression in high-grade cervical lesions. In the present study, we analyze the role of miR-21 in RECK gene regulation in cervical cancer cells. To identify the downstream cellular target genes of upstream miR-21, we silenced endogenous miR-21 expression using siRNAs. We analyzed the expression of miR-21 and RECK, as well as functional effects on cell proliferation and migration. We found that in cervical cancer cells, there was an inverse correlation between miR-21 expression and RECK mRNA and protein expression. SiRNAs to miR-21 increased luciferase reporter activity in construct plasmids containing the RECK-3'-UTR microRNA response elements MRE21-1, MRE21-2, and MRE21-3. The role of miR-21 in cell proliferation was also analyzed, and cancer cells transfected with siRNAs exhibited a markedly reduced cell proliferation and migration. Our findings indicate that miR-21 post-transcriptionally down-regulates the expression of RECK to promote cell proliferation and cell migration inhibition in cervical cancer cell survival. Therefore, miR-21 and RECK may be potential therapeutic targets in gene therapy for cervical cancer.

In about 75% of cases of amenorrhea and galactorrhea, bromocriptine mesylate therapy suppresses the galactorrhea completely, or almost completely, and reinitiates normal ovulatory menstrual cycles.

Menses are usually reinitiated prior to complete suppression of galactorrhea; the time for this on average is 6 to 8 weeks. However, some patients respond within a few days, and others may take up to 8 months.

Galactorrhea may take longer to control depending on the degree of stimulation of the mammary tissue prior to therapy. At least a 75% reduction in secretion is usually observed after 8 to 12 weeks. Some patients may fail to respond even after 12 months of therapy.

In many acromegalic patients, bromocriptine mesylate produces a prompt and sustained reduction in circulating levels of serum growth hormone.

Cilostazol is a quinoline derivative that selectively and reversibly inhibits cellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) phosphodiesterase III, thus suppressing cAMP degradation and maintaining its high intracellular levels. Through this mechanism, cilostazol inhibits platelet aggregation, exerting significant antiplatelet and antithrombotic activity. Cilostazol also improves endothelial function and exerts anti-inflammatory, anti-atherogenic and vasodilatory effects. Additionally, cilostazol inhibits equilibrative nucleoside transporter-1 (ENT-1) which is responsible for the cellular uptake of adenosine, reducing its plasma concentration. Through this mechanism, cilostazol maintains high extracellular adenosine concentration allowing adenosine to exert its biological effects. Thus, cilostazol not only shows potent antithrombotic activity, but also prevents restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Finally, cilostazol has beneficial effects in the lipidemic profile reducing triglyceride levels and increasing HDL-cholesterol. Clinical studies have shown that in patients with intermittent claudication, cilostazol increases the walking distance. Based on these studies, cilostazol administration in combination with an antiplatelet drug (clopidogrel or aspirin) is recommended for patients with intertermittent claudication.

Recent pharmacodynamic studies have demonstrated that adding cilostazol to aspirin or clopidogrel may represent an effective way to overcome high on-treatment platelet reactivity. Additionally, clinical studies have shown that the addition of cilostazol to dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel (triple antiplatelet therapy, TAPT) in patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing PCI offers significant clinical benefit. This favorable effect of cilostazol was confirmed in a recent meta-analysis which included nine studies and a total of 2,179 patients undergoing PCI. Furthermore, other clinical studies have shown that administration of TAPT with cilostazol reduces restenosis after PCI. Finally, the administration of dual antiplatelet therapy with cilostazol and aspirin significantly reduces the progression of symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis compared to monotherapy with aspirin.

The aim of The Diabetic artery Obstruction: is it possible to Reduce Ischemic events with Cilostazol? (DORIC) trial is to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with clopidogrel and cilostazol versus clopidogrel alone in preventing ischemic vascular eventsin patients with type 2 diabetes (DM2) and symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (PAD).

After the data of of the patients were recorded using SPSS19 program, statistical analysis will be performed using the arithmetic mean, median, standart deviation and Chi-square test, which are among the measures of distribution and prevalence.
The present invention relates to the technical field of biomedical materials, and in particular relates to a reducible and degradable polyzwitterion nanomicelle and a preparation method thereof. Firstly, copolycondensation is performed with taurine, N,N-Bis(acryloyl)cystamine and dodecylamine by Michael addition mechanism. The synthesis obtains a terpolymer of poly(taurine-co-N,N-bis(acrylyl)cystamine-co-dodecylamine). Then, a nanomicelle is formed by self-assembling in an aqueous solution. Since the terpolymer chain segment contains an amino, a disulfide bond and zwitterion and other structural units simultaneously, it has a sensitive responsiveness to pH and reduction. At the same time, the zwitterion gives the nanomicelle excellent anti-protein non-specific adsorption properties. The nanomicelle of the present invention has no cytotoxicity, can be completely degraded  in vivo , and has a high prospect as an anticancer drug carrier.
