Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is an acute deterioration of chronic liver diseases, which progresses rapidly, with a mortality rate of more than 50%. Liver transplantation is the only therapy that has been proven beneficial, but the number of liver donor is limited. MELD score is used to
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer in the world and the most common primary liver cancer. There are a variety of therapies for treatment of HCC; among them, transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is one of the most commonly used treatment modalities. TACE induces ischemic
Depending on the severity according to EUGOGO recommendations, patients were divided into two groups: the first group with active, moderate-to-severe GO (49 patients) and the second group with DON (19 patients). Moderate-to-severe GO was diagnosed according to EUGOGO recommendations. Diagnosis of

This study is designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells transplantation in patients with progressive muscular dystrophy.
This was a prospective, randomized, single centre, single-blind study. Patients were randomized (1:1) to use Low-osmolar contrast media or iso-osmolar contrast media for TACE.
On the morning of 2th and 5th days after TACE, a hematologic check was performed, the hematologic check including serum
Cardiovascular (CV) disease is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality among diabetic patients.The UK Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS)clearly showed that tight glycemic control significantly decreases diabetes-related events. Therefore, achievement of HbA1c < 7% is a major goal in the
The objectives of this study are to assess the therapeutic efficacy and safety of SP as the current first line drug, and three other potential alternative combinations in treating uncomplicated falciparum malaria during pregnancy, in an area with appreciable levels of SP resistance and rising HIV
Background:
One of the major limitations of conventional antipsychotics is their high propensity to cause extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS). Tardive dyskinesia (TD) in particular causes problems, insofar as it is common, and resistant to treatment. TD is under-recognised in clinical settings. However,
