Synopsis:

A multi-centre study was conducted to investigate the epidemiology of paediatric hand injuries in Foshan City, South China. The epidemiology data enhanced our knowledge of paediatric hand injuries and facilitated the prevention and treatment. The paediatric hand injuries were treated in emergency departments in Foshan City, South China

ABSTRACT

Objective: The objective of the study was to investigate the epidemiology of paediatric hand injuries treated in emergency departments (EDs) in Foshan City, as well as to supply data for the development of preventive strategies in South China and similar developing areas.

The Characteristics of QT Interval Dispersion in Obesity-related Hypertensive Patients

Issue:

Vol 65, Issue 4: 2016 – Health Science

DOI:

Pages:

Synopsis:

This study found that high cholesterol and high blood pressure of long standing caused blood lipid metabolic disorders, may lead to blood flow dynamics affected by different degree, and make the degree of myocardial cells after very uneven.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To find the characteristics of QT interval dispersion (QTd) in obesity-related hypertensive patients.

Methods: The study comprised 73 obesity-related hypertensive patients (group A), 58 nonobesity-related hypertensive patients (group B) and 105 healthy persons as control (group C). The maximum QT interval (QTmax), minimum QT interval (QTmin) and QTd were compared.

Pages:

Synopsis:

Crocin promoted Jurkat cell apoptosis and inhibited cell growth in a dose-time-dependent manner. These results suggest that crocin can be used as a suitable clinical agent for the treatment of T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.

A Novel Therapy for Haemorrhoids: Hand-Sewn Haemorrhoidopexy Using a Modified Anoscope

Issue:

Vol 66, Issue 2: 2017

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2014.216

Pages:

352–6

Synopsis:

An alternative technique of hand-sewn haemorrhoidopexy [HHP] (via a modified anoscope) to conventional surgery therapy, was first explored for treatment of grades III and IV haemorrhoids. Its usage was demonstrated for treating grades III and IV haemorrhoids for 51 patients from February 2008 to February 2011. Shorter wound healing time and lower complication rate were observed for the patients subjected to HHP. These patients also exhibited better tolerance for the operation and incurred significantly lower costs than patients who were treated with other therapies. The data achieved indicated HHP technique was safe, effective and painless for treating patients with grades III and IV or mixed haemorrhoids.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: Grades III and IV haemorrhoids have been preferentially treated with surgery for years. The decision to pursue surgical therapy for haemorrhoids is based on the severity of symptoms and the traditional classification of haemorrhoid prolapse. In this study, an alternative technique known as hand-sewn haemorrhoidopexy (HHP) was conducted using a modified anoscope.
