2024-05-27T15:34:48+08:00

Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors, posing a serious threat to people’s life and health. Therefore, prevention and early diagnosis are crucial for managing gastric cancer. This article provides an overview of the research progress in gastric cancer prevention, as well as related serological examinations, tumor markers, and endoscopic techniques.Serological tests and tumor markers are convenient, rapid, and easily accessible screening tools for gastric cancer. However, their sensitivity and specificity are not yet satisfactory and require further improvement. Endoscopic technology offers the advantage of directly observing lesion sites with a high detection rate. When combined with pathologic tissue biopsy, endoscopy serves as a means to confirm the diagnosis of gastric cancer. Nevertheless, it is important to note that endoscopy can be a cumbersome procedure with its detection rate depending on the level of experience of the examiner. Despite these advantages, due to its invasiveness to patients’ digestive tracts and potential discomfort during examination procedures leading to patient intolerance towards pain; endoscopy has not been widely adopted as a screening tool for early gastric cancer.

The Synergistic Effect Of Lutein With Blue Light Filtration In The Eye Health Of Electronic Device Users

This article delves into the synergistic role of lutein and blue light filtration technology in the eye health of electronic device users. The potential effects of electronic device use on eye health are first described, including the nature of blue light, vision problems caused by long-term use, and research related to vision deterioration. Secondly, the mechanism of action of lutein, including its distribution and func_x0002_tion in the eye, as well as its filtering effect on blue light, is elaborated, and how lutein can reduce the negative effects of electronic screen use is discussed. Subsequently, the principle, application and effect of blue light filtering technology on reducing eye fatigue were analyzed, and some limitations and challenges of this technology were pointed out. The final section discusses the synergistic effects of lutein and blue light filtering technology, including how the two work together, the effect of synergies on improving vision protection, and practical application suggestions and strategies. Through the comprehensive analysis of these contents, this paper aims to provide scientific eye protection suggestions for users of electronic devices and promote the comprehensive management of eye health.

Application Of Perioperative Nutritional Management Plan For Patients Undergoing Pancreaticoduodenectomy

The aim was to explore a dietary control model suitable for patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenal surgery in order to better improve their nutritional status, minimize complications and improve patient satisfaction. Methods 60 patients who were to undergo pancrea_x0002_ticoduodenectomy were treated according to the usual nutritional management and divided into 30 cases. The observation group adopted the method of whole personalized nutritional management, formulated various nutritional support systems and procedures, organized nutritional knowledge training, and carried out quality control on them. Results The observation group was significantly better than the treatment group in terms of hospitalization days and hospitalization costs (P<0.05); the postoperative complications in the observation group were 10.0%, which was significantly better than the control group of 40 0% (P<0.05). Conclusion Perioperative nutritional management is a new idea more adapted to contemporary medical thought and today’s accelerated rehabilitation surgery development for the health of patients.

Correlation Study between Genetic Polymorphisms and Blood Concentrations of Sodium Valproate in Pediatric Epilepsy Patients

Objective: To explore the correlation between genetic polymorphisms and blood concentrations of sodium valproate in pediatric epilepsy patients, providing evidence for individualized treatment of epilepsy patients. Methods: Pediatric epilepsy patients diagnosed with epilepsy and treated with sodium valproate monotherapy in the outpatient and inpatient departments of a tertiary hospital from January 2020 to December 2023 were selected. The steady-state blood concentrations of sodium valproate were monitored, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to genotype ABCB1G2677T/A and UGT1A6T19G genes. Data were analyzed using SPSS 17.0 statistical software. Results: The UGT1A6T19G gene polymorphism significantly affected the blood concentrations of sodium valproate in epilepsy patients. Carriers of the G allele had significantly lower blood concentrations of sodium valproate than wild-type homozygotes (TT) patients, and the decrease in blood concentrations of sodium valproate was particularly significant in homozygous mutant GG genotype patients. The ABCB1G2677T/ A gene polymorphism had no statistically significant effect on the blood concentrations of sodium valproate in pediatric epilepsy patients. Conclusion: Through the study of the correlation between genetic polymorphisms and blood concentrations of sodium valproate, factors in_x0002_fluencing the steady-state trough concentrations of valproate can be revealed from a genetic perspective, providing theoretical evidence for the precise use of sodium valproate in pediatric epilepsy patients.

Influence Of Wang Ji’s Theory Of “No Fixed Points For Treatment” On The Clinical Practice Of Acupuncture And Moxibustion

2024-05-27T15:48:55+08:00

Wang Ji opposed the mechanical use of “a certain point for a certain disease” and proposed the theory of “no fixed point for the treatment of disease” in his “Acupuncture and Moxibustion”, believing that the diagnosis and treatment should be investigated into the cause of the disease, the transmission of the disease and the meridians and channels, and the division of qi and blood, in order to obtain the rationale of random adaptation. Wang Ji advocated that the method of acupuncture should be decided according to the specific situation of the patient, and this academic thought is consistent with the main theme of Chinese medicine’s diagnosis and treatment, and the theoretical ideas corresponding to various fields have been developed around the theory of “no fixed point for treating disease”, which has had a crucial impact on the clinical treatment of acupuncture.
