Pancreatic duct occupation method assisted wire guide through pancreatic duct stenosis in the treatment of chronic pancreatitis.

Chronic pancreatitis is usually accompanied by pancreatic duct stenosis and pancreatic duct stones. Pancreatic duct stent implantation can effectively drain pancreatic fluid and relieve symptoms. However, in many cases this is not easy, because of the presence of stones or the pancreatic duct is too narrow, the guide wire may not be able to enter the distal pancreatic duct.

Acupuncture and moxibustion for chronic fatigue syndrome: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Background: Research into acupuncture and moxibustion and their application for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) has been growing, but the findings have been inconsistent.

Objective: To evaluate the existing randomized clinical trials (RCTs), compare the efficacy of acupuncture, moxibustion and other traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatments.

Data Sources: Three English-language databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and The Cochrane Library) and 4 Chinese-language biomedical databases (Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang) were searched for RCTs published from database inception through August 2021.

A novel membrane-disruptive antimicrobial peptide from frog skin secretion against cystic fibrosis isolates and evaluation of anti-MRSA effect using Galleria mellonella model.

Antimicrobial peptides from amphibian skin secretion are a promising source for the development of alternative antibiotics against the urgent antibiotic resistance. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) has been found to persist in both early and late disease course of cystic fibrosis (CF).
