The objective of this study was to investigate the significance of portal vein reconstruction in segment IV of the liver on early postoperative liver function recovery in split liver transplantation. ...
The status of cerebral perfusion and its restoration level play a vital role in the prognosis and clinical decision making of many neurosurgical diseases. As such, gold standard methods including CT, ...
Traumatic cervical spinal cord injury (TCSCI) often causes varying degrees of motor dysfunction, common assessed by the International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (I...
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a central nervous system injury that is primarily traumatic and manifests as autonomic dysfunction below the level of injury. Our previous studies have found that zinc ions...
We investigated the effect of zinc ions after spinal cord injury from the perspective of a hypoxic microenvironment, and elucidated the role of VEGF-A secreted by microglia for vascular regeneration a...
Zinc promotes functional recovery after spinal cord injury by regulating VEGF-A secretion from microglia. On the one hand, VEGF-A secreted by microglia promotes angiogenesis through the PI3K/AKT/Bcl-2...
Zinc promoted microglia secretion of VEGF-A, increased vascular endothelial cell proliferation and migration through the PI3K/AKT/Bcl-2 pathway, and inhibited microglia apoptosis....
Peripheral nerve injuries have common clinical problems that are often accompanied by sensory and motor dysfunction and failure of axonal regeneration. Although various therapeutic approaches have bee...
There is a risk of pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) from baby delivery. Many clinical guidelines recommend pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) as the conservative treatment for PFD because pelvic floor ...
The randomized controlled trial was projected to be conducted from November 2021 to March 2023. A total of 260 postpartum women would be recruited from the obstetrics departments of the study hospital...
This trial will demonstrate that pelvic floor-care is accessible to most women and clinical practice on PFD may change relevantly should this study find that Online PEFLOW approach is effective to imp...

Evidence suggests that Bacillus coagulans TBC169 can improve intestinal motility....
To investigate the effectiveness and safety of Bacillus coagulans TBC169 probiotics in promoting the recovery of intestinal function after gynecological laparoscopic surgery....
Patients who underwent laparoscopic surgeries due to gynecological diseases were randomly assigned to the high-dose, conventional-dose, and the placebo-control groups (1:1:1 ratio). The primary outcom...
Compared to the placebo-control group, shorter FFT values were observed in the conventional-dose (23.15 h vs. 29.10 h, P < 0.05) and high-dose (19.15 h vs. 29.10 h, P < 0.001) groups. Similar trends w...
Bacillus coagulans TBC169 probiotics can accelerate intestinal function recovery, and reduce postoperative adverse events in patients after gynecological laparoscopic surgery. The study protocol was r...
This study was conducted to investigate the underlying associations between urine macrophages polarization and renal function recovery after nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) in patients with renal cell c...
Sixty-two patients with unilateral RCC who underwent NSS in our departments were prospectively recorded and followed up for long-term renal function to assess the onset of acute kidney injury (AKI) an...
The cumulative incidence of postoperative AKI was 27.4% (17/62), and 47.0% (8/17) of those eventually developed to CKD during the follow-up. The mean urine M1/M2 ratio was 10.54 ± 8.13 in the AKI grou...
Urine macrophages polarization could predict renal function recovery after NSS in patients with RCC. The urine M1/M2 ratio might a potential biomarker of RIRI but needs to be further verified in clini...
Patients with a spinal cord injury (SCI) usually suffer lifelong disability as a result. Considering this, SCI treatment and pathology study are urgently needed. Metformin, a widely used hypoglycemic ...
The duration of rehabilitation therapy is one of the key elements for promoting post-stroke functional recovery. However, whether an individual's age affects the effectiveness of the duration of rehab...
This study aimed to investigate whether age has an influence on the relationship between the duration of rehabilitation therapy and post-stroke functional recovery....
This is a retrospective observational study....

The population of the study was represented by a total of 1186 participants with subacute stroke....
Participants were stratified into four groups according to their age (≤59, 60-69, 70-79, and ≥80 years). The data of minutes involved in performing rehabilitation therapy for participants during hospi...
The mean FIM gains in the ≤59 years, 60-69 years, 70-79 years, and the ≥80 years groups were 38.7 (18.8), 32.8 (18.0), 29.7 (16.6), and 25.4 (17.2), respectively. The results of the multivariate regre...
For patients with subacute stroke in rehabilitation hospitals, a higher duration of daily rehabilitation therapy was associated with better functional recovery in the 70-79 years group and ≥80 years g...
An increased duration of daily rehabilitation therapy may be helpful in older adults with stroke selected for intensive rehabilitation for improvement of basic daily functioning....
