Multimodality Imaging of a Giant Right Coronary Artery Aneurysm

We describe a case of a 54-year-old woman who had a right cardiac mass found on coronary angiography. Echocardiography, computed tomography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging characterized it as a thrombosed giant right coronary artery aneurysm. This was confirmed on pathology. We present the role of multimodality cardiovascular imaging in the diagnosis and characterization of a giant coronary artery aneurysm.     

基于数据挖掘的吕英教授治疗自闭症语言障碍的用药规律分析＊

目的 基于中医传承辅助平台软件（TCMISS，V2.5）对吕英教授治疗自闭症语言障碍的处方进行数据挖掘，探索其病因病机及组方规律。方法 收集吕英教授治疗自闭症语言障碍的医案，将其方药信息录入TCMISS，借助该平台集成的关联规则、改进互信息法、复杂系统熵聚类法、无监督熵层次聚类法等分析方法探索吕英教授治疗自闭症语言障碍的药物组方规律。结果 共筛选出120个医案，包含处方共120首，涉及中药89味，其中使用频次前6味中药为桂枝、鸡蛋花、白术、泽泻、石膏、桔梗，药性以寒、温为主，药味以甘、苦居多，归经多属肺、脾、肝经。通过关联规则分析所得的用药模式中，使用频次最高的为桂枝与鸡蛋花、桂枝与泽泻、白术与桂枝，进一步分析得到的核心药物为泽泻、桂枝、白术，为五苓散的药物组成，并基于复杂熵聚类方法演化出6首新处方。结论 吕英教授治疗自闭症语言障碍以阳明“气血津”不足和三焦气化功能失常为主要病机线路，清解阳明伏火、加强阳明本体液津血的生化化生及恢复三焦气化功能正常为主要治法，其核心代表方剂为木防己汤和五苓散。     

Inhibition of Erythroid Differentiation of Human Leukemia K562 Cells by N-acetylcysteine and Ascorbic Acid through Downregulation of ROS

正This study investigated the effects of N-acetylcysteine(NAC)and ascorbic acid(AA)on hemin-induced K562 cell erythroid differentiation and the role of reactive oxygen species(ROS)in this process.Hemin increased ROS levels in a concentration-dependent manner,whereas NAC and AA had opposite effects.Both NAC and AA eliminated transient increased ROS levels after hemin treatment,inhibited hemin-induced     

Long-term survival after post-hepatectomy liver failure for colorectal liver metastases

Background

While post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) accurately predicts short-term mortality, its role in prognosticating long-term overall survival (OS) remains unclear.
