However, there is currently no evidence to prove which treatment method is most effective. Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) has shown certain advantages in the treatment of PLC, especially in the side effects of Western Medicine. Therefore, we designed a clinical trial protocol for the treatment of PLC using TCM granules. Our purpose is to explore the efficacy and safety of Yangxiao Fukang granule(YXFKG, 养消复康颗粒) in the treatment of stage Ⅲ hepatitis B related PLC. A total of 216 patients from three hospitals in Henan Province will be enrolled and randomly divided into a trial group and a control group in a 1 ∶ 1 ratio. The trial group will be treated with conventional western medicine plus YXFKG, while the control group will receive conventional western medicine plus a placebo for YXFKG. All patients will receive a daily dose of either YXFKG or a placebo for six months, followed by a six-month follow-up period. The main observation outcome includes 1-year survival rate, while secondary outcomes include conversion rate to remission, objective response rate, progression free survival, overall survival, quality of life score, and TCM clinical symptom score. Blood routine, urine routine, stool routine, electrocardiogram, liver and kidney function, coagulation function test, and D-dimer are safety indicators. Collect data before treatment and during the 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th months of treatment, and conduct statistical analysis. This study will preliminarily verify the effectiveness and safety of YXFKG in the treatment of stage Ⅲ hepatitis B related PLC, which may provide a new choice for clinical treatment of PLC.展开更多

However, the existing protocols rely on exchange of hello messages to detect jamming, leading to long sensing time and thus slow routing recovery. To address the issues raised by jamming attacks, we propose a new routing protocol, Electromagnetic Spectrum situation awareness Optimized Link State Routing (ESOLSR) protocol, to improve the existing OLSRv2 protocol. ESOLSR utilizes the spectrum situation awareness capability from the physical layer, and adopts joint-updating of link status, updating of interface functions, and adaptive adjustment of parameters. Our simulation results show that the improved protocol, ESOLSR, can recover routing and resume normal communication 26.6% faster compared to the existing protocols.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Massive rotator cuff tears(RCTs)result in impaired shoulder function and quality of life.These tears lead to structural changes in the rotator cuff muscles,which compromise recovery after repair and increase re-tear rates.AIM To investigate the potential inhibitory effects of alpha-tocopherol(vitamin E)and OTR-4131 on muscle atrophy,fatty infiltration,and fibrosis in rotator cuff muscles following a massive RCT using a Wistar rat model,and establish a standardized methodology for evaluating potential therapeutic agents.METHODS This protocol outlines a controlled animal study using 40 male Wistar rats,randomized into five groups.The experimental groups will receive either systemic administration of alpha-tocopherol or local administration of OTR-4131 via intramuscular injection into the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles.Two sham groups will receive systemic and local saline injections respectively,while a control group will undergo no intervention.The interventions will be administered after surgical transection of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons.Outcomes will be assessed via wet muscle weight measurements,muscle fiber diameter,fatty infiltration percentage,and fibrosis evaluation using histological methods.RESULTS The study anticipates that alpha-tocopherol and OTR-4131 will reduce muscle atrophy,fatty infiltration,and fibrosis compared to control and sham groups,supporting their potential protective role in rotator cuff muscle degeneration.CONCLUSION The results are expected to improve the understanding on the role of alpha-tocopherol and OTR-4131 in rotator cuff muscle protection after massive RCT and may serve as a foundation for further preclinical and clinical research aimed at improving rotator cuff repair outcomes.
文摘The Internet of Healthcare Things(IoHT)marks a significant breakthrough in modern medicine by enabling a new era of healthcare services.IoHT supports real-time,continuous,and personalized monitoring of patients’health conditions.However,the security of sensitive data exchanged within IoHT remains a major concern,as the widespread connectivity and wireless nature of these systems expose them to various vulnerabilities.Potential threats include unauthorized access,device compromise,data breaches,and data alteration,all of which may compromise the confidentiality and integrity of patient information.In this paper,we provide an in-depth security analysis of LAP-IoHT,an authentication scheme designed to ensure secure communication in Internet of Healthcare Things environments.This analysis reveals several vulnerabilities in the LAP-IoHT protocol,namely its inability to resist various attacks,including user impersonation and privileged insider threats.To address these issues,we introduce LSAP-IoHT,a secure and lightweight authentication protocol for the Internet of Healthcare Things(IoHT).This protocol leverages Elliptic Curve Cryptography(ECC),Physical Unclonable Functions(PUFs),and Three-Factor Authentication(3FA).Its security is validated through both informal analysis and formal verification using the Scyther tool and the Real-Or-Random(ROR)model.The results demonstrate strong resistance against man-in-the-middle(MITM)attacks,replay attacks,identity spoofing,stolen smart device attacks,and insider threats,while maintaining low computational and communication costs.
文摘Objective To discuss the flexible supervision and communication mode in the post-approval change(PAC)of drugs,to explore how to ensure the quality and availability of drugs during the changes,and to provide some suggestions and reference for promoting the timely marketing of drugs.Methods Based on the comparability protocol guidelines issued by the US FDA in October 2022,the regulatory status quo of PAC between China and the US was compared to explore the feasibility of implementing comparability protocols in China.Results and Conclusion According to the specific situation of post-approval of drug change supervision,some suggestions were put forward to optimize the PAC management procedure,such as establishing the communication pathways between holders and health authorities,publishing relevant guidance and strengthening training,so as to provide reference for the implementation of comparability protocols in China.

文摘Developing highly active and stable oxygen evolution reaction(OER)catalysts necessitates the establishment of a comprehensive OER catalyst database.However,the absence of a standardized benchmarking protocol has hindered this progress.In this work,we present a systematic protocol for electrochemical measurements to thoroughly evaluate the activity and stability of OER electrocatalysts.We begin with a detailed introduction to constructing the electrochemical system,encompassing experimental setup and the selection criteria for electrodes and electrolytes.Potential contaminants originating from electrolytes,cells,and electrodes are identified and their impacts are discussed.We also examine the effects of external factors,such as temperature,magnetic fields,and natural light,on OER measurements.The protocol outlines operational mechanisms and recommended settings for various electrochemical techniques,including cyclic voltammetry(CV),potentiostatic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(PEIS),Tafel slope analysis,and pulse voltammetry(PV).We summarize existing evaluation methodologies for assessing intrinsic activities and long-term stabilities of catalysts.Based on these discussions,we propose a comprehensive protocol for evaluating OER electrocatalysts’performance.Finally,we offer perspectives on advancing OER catalysts from laboratory research to industrial applications.
文摘The current recommendation to avoid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs)in the management of dengue virus disease(DVD)is scientifically considered of very low to low certainty,despite being widely adopted worldwide.The same recommendation,initially made during the coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)pandemic,was subsequently proven incorrect.In this clinical report,we present evidence,for the first time globally,from a real-life practice that NSAIDs may actually be lifesaving in the early management of DVD as they have proved to be in COVID-19.Moreover,we propose that the personalized immunemodulatory Kelleni’s protocol,which includes nitazoxanide as a key component,can be safely and effectively used to manage various separate or concomitant viral infections and co-infections,including DVD.Importantly,this article contributes to the current medical knowledge in the global pursuit of a safe and effective broad-spectrum antiviral protocol that can be used to early manage multiple highly infectious viruses.However,it’s crucial that sufficiently powered controlled randomized clinical trials be conducted to thoroughly assess and evaluate the safety of NSAIDs in the early management of DVD as well as the efficacy of nitazoxanide with or without NSAIDs in its management.

文摘Primary liver cancer(PLC) is the third major cause of cancer related death, which seriously affects the survival period and quality of life of patients. However, there is currently no evidence to prove which treatment method is most effective. Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) has shown certain advantages in the treatment of PLC, especially in the side effects of Western Medicine. Therefore, we designed a clinical trial protocol for the treatment of PLC using TCM granules. Our purpose is to explore the efficacy and safety of Yangxiao Fukang granule(YXFKG, 养消复康颗粒) in the treatment of stage Ⅲ hepatitis B related PLC. A total of 216 patients from three hospitals in Henan Province will be enrolled and randomly divided into a trial group and a control group in a 1 ∶ 1 ratio. The trial group will be treated with conventional western medicine plus YXFKG, while the control group will receive conventional western medicine plus a placebo for YXFKG. All patients will receive a daily dose of either YXFKG or a placebo for six months, followed by a six-month follow-up period. The main observation outcome includes 1-year survival rate, while secondary outcomes include conversion rate to remission, objective response rate, progression free survival, overall survival, quality of life score, and TCM clinical symptom score. Blood routine, urine routine, stool routine, electrocardiogram, liver and kidney function, coagulation function test, and D-dimer are safety indicators. Collect data before treatment and during the 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th months of treatment, and conduct statistical analysis. This study will preliminarily verify the effectiveness and safety of YXFKG in the treatment of stage Ⅲ hepatitis B related PLC, which may provide a new choice for clinical treatment of PLC.

文摘UAV networks often encounter jamming attacks, under which multi-radio protocols have to switch radios to accelerate communication recovery. However, the existing protocols rely on exchange of hello messages to detect jamming, leading to long sensing time and thus slow routing recovery. To address the issues raised by jamming attacks, we propose a new routing protocol, Electromagnetic Spectrum situation awareness Optimized Link State Routing (ESOLSR) protocol, to improve the existing OLSRv2 protocol. ESOLSR utilizes the spectrum situation awareness capability from the physical layer, and adopts joint-updating of link status, updating of interface functions, and adaptive adjustment of parameters. Our simulation results show that the improved protocol, ESOLSR, can recover routing and resume normal communication 26.6% faster compared to the existing protocols.

文摘Background:Mesalazine preparations serve as first-line therapy for active mild-to-moderate ulcerative colitis(UC),however,not all patients respond to mesalazine.Patients with mesalazine-refractory UC often switch to corticosteroids,immunological therapy,and biological agents,but their use is limited owing to their well-characterised side effects(e.g.osteoporosis and cushingoid feature).Therefore,there is an unmet medical need for novel treatments with a manageable safety profile for patients with mesalazine-refractory UC.New Wumei Pill is a novel and effective herbal prescription for the treatment of UC,and our preliminary study suggested that New Wumei Pill has a significant effect on patients with mesalazine-refractory UC.However,its effectiveness and safety has not been evaluated convincingly.Objectives:This trail aims to evaluate efficacy,safety and mechanisms of New Wumei Pill in the treatment of patients with mesalazine-refractory UC.Methods:This is a prospective,randomized,double-blind control trial,in which 72 patients with mesalazine-refractory mild-to-moderate UC will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio in the treatment and control group.Patients will be screened for eligibility at the outpatient and ward of the Department of Gastroenterology in Dongfang Hospital,Beijing University of Chinese Medicine.72 participants will undergo strict screening to meet the diagnostic criteria of mildly to moderately active UC,with modified Mayo score of 3-10 points.All patients will be administered by mesalazine enteric-coated tablets for 8 weeks,at the same time,the patients in treatment group will receive New Wumei Pill,while patients from control group will be administered by dummy New Wumei Pill.Results:The primary outcomes are clinical efficacy rate and clinical remission rate according to the modified Mayo score.The secondary outcomes are individual symptom score,TCM syndrome score,endoscopic response rate,mucosal healing rate,and quality of life scale score.Finally,biological samples from participants will be preserved to reveal the mechanisms of New Wumei Pill on UC.Conclusions:We hypothesize that the patients with mesalazine-refractory mild-to-moderate UC will benefit from New Wumei Pill.If successful,this trial will provide evidence of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of UC,and hold promises for novel options UC patients and policymakers.
文摘This article discusses the evolving real-world practice using nitazoxanide,nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs)and/or azithromycin(Kelleni’s protocol)to manage the evolving manifestations of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2)Omicron EG.5.1,its descendant HV.1 as well as BA.2.86 and its descendant JN.1 subvariants in Egypt in 2024.These subvariants are well-known for their highly evolved immune-evasive properties and the manifestations include some peculiar manifestations as persistent cough besides high fever in young children as well as high fever,persistent severe cough,change of voice,loss of taste and smell,epigastric pain,nausea,vomiting,diarrhea,generalized malaise and marked bone aches in adults including the high-risk groups.It’s suggested that the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 evolution is continuing to mostly affect the high-risk groups of patients,to some of whom we’ve also successfully prescribed nitazoxanide and/or NSAIDs for post-exposure prophylaxis of all household contacts.We also continue to recommend starting the immune-modulatory antiviral Kelleni’s protocol as soon as possible in the course of infection and adjusting it in a personalized manner to be more aggressive from the beginning for the high risk patients,at least until the currently encountered surge of infections subsides.

文摘The accurate and timely detection of biochemical coagulation indicators is pivotal in pulmonary and critical care medicine.Despite their reliability,traditional laboratories often lag in terms of rapid diagnosis.Point-of-care testing(POCT)has emerged as a promising alternative,which is awaiting rigorous validation.We assessed 226 samples from patients at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University using a Beckman Coulter AU5821 and a PUSHKANG POCT Biochemistry Analyzer MS100.Furthermore,350 samples were evaluated with a Stago coagulation analyzer STAR MAX and a PUSHKANG POCT Coagulation Analyzer MC100.Metrics included thirteen biochemical indexes,such as albumin,and five coagulation indices,such as prothrombin time.Comparisons were drawn against the PUSHKANG POCT analyzer.Bland-Altman plots(MS100:0.8206-0.9995;MC100:0.8318-0.9911)evinced significant consistency between methodologies.Spearman correlation pinpointed a potent linear association between conventional devices and the PUSHKANG POCT analyzer,further underscored by a robust correlation coefficient(MS100:0.713-0.949;MC100:0.593-0.950).The PUSHKANG POCT was validated as a dependable tool for serum and whole blood biochemical and coagulation diagnostics.This emphasizes its prospective clinical efficacy,offering clinicians a swift diagnostic tool and heralding a new era of enhanced patient care outcomes.
文摘Computer analysis of electrocardiograms(ECGs)was introduced more than 50 years ago,with the aim to improve efficiency and clinical workflow.[1,2]However,inaccuracies have been documented in the literature.[3,4]Research indicates that emergency department(ED)clinician interruptions occur every 4-10 min,which is significantly more common than in other specialties.[5]This increases the cognitive load and error rates and impacts patient care and clinical effi ciency.[1,2,5]De-prioritization protocols have been introduced in certain centers in the United Kingdom(UK),removing the need for clinician ECG interpretation where ECGs have been interpreted as normal by the machine.
