Article Abstract

The study aims to explore the effect of low-frequency electric pulse technique combined with carboprost methylate suppositories on recovery of gastrointestinal function and postoperative complications of patients with scarred uterus undergoing secondary cesarean section (C-section). The clinical data of 120 patients with scarred uterus undergoing secondary C-section treated in our hospital from February 2019 to February 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and the patients were equally divided into experimental and control groups according to their admission order, where each group included 60 patients. After the operation, patients in the control group received routine nursing and conducted breastfeeding, and carboprost methylate suppositories were used for postoperative hemostasis. Those in the experimental group received low-frequency electric pulse technique for comprehensive treatment to compare their coagulation function indicators, recovery of gastrointestinal function, incidence rates of postoperative complications, and involution of uterus. No significant between-group differences in patients' general information such as gestational weeks, gravidity, and number of times receiving C-section were observed ( > 0.05). Compared with the control group after the operation, patients in the experimental group obtained significantly better coagulation function indicators ( < 0.001) and presented better gastrointestinal function recovery ( < 0.001), significantly lower incidence rates of postpartum hemorrhage, retention of urine, deep venous thrombosis of lower limb, rupture of uterus, and endometrial cavity fluid ( < 0.05), and significantly better involution of uterus ( < 0.001). In conclusion, combining low-frequency electric pulse technique with carboprost methylate suppositories can lower the incidence rates of postoperative complications for patients with scarred uterus undergoing secondary C-section, improve their coagulation function, promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function, and present the desirable involution of uterus, which should be promoted in practice.

Effects of metformin on gut microbiota and short/mediumchain fatty acids in highfat diet rats.

Objectives: Recent evidence suggests that the gut may be a primary site of metformin action. However, studies on the effects of metformin on gut microbiota remain limited, and its impact on gut microbial metabolites such as short-/medium-chain fatty acids is unclear. This study aims to investigate the effects of metformin on gut microbiota, short-/medium-chain fatty acids, and associated metabolic benefits in high-fat diet rats.

Objectives: To study the impact of SURF4 expression level on long-term prognosis of gastric cancer (GC) and biological behaviors of GC cells.

Methods: SURF4 expression level in GC and its association with long-term patient prognosis were analyzed using publicly available databases and in 155 GC patients with low and high SURF4 expressions detected immunohistochemically. The Cox proportional hazard model and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to analyze independent prognostic predictors of GC and the 5-year survival rate of the patients with different SURF4 expression levels.

Objectives: To investigate the therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at Zusanli (ST36) acupoint on hyperlipidemia in mice and explore the underlying mechanisms.

Methods: Thirty C57BL/6J mice were equally randomized into normal diet group, high-fat diet (HFD) group, and EA group. The changes in blood lipids and serum malondialdehyde (MDA) content of the mice were evaluated, and histopathological changes and lipid accumulation in the liver were observed using Oil red O staining (ORO).

Recent evidence suggests that parasite-mediated reductions in food intake (i.e., anorexia) in herbivores can trigger trophic cascades that increase producer biomass.

Background: Prehabilitation may help older adults recover after surgery, yet adherence has been variable. We assessed the feasibility of a multi-component prehabilitation program.

Methods: This single-arm trial was conducted at an academic medical center to test the feasibility of an individualized prehabilitation program before major surgery.
