Environmental heavy metals and cardiovascular diseases: Status and future direction Tập 6 - Trang 251-259 - 2020
Ai-Min Yang, Kenneth Lo, Tong-Zhang Zheng, Jing-Li Yang, Ya-Na Bai, Ying-Qing Feng, Ning Cheng, Si-Min Liu
AbstractCardiovascular disease (CVD) and environmental degradation are leading global health problems of our time. Recent studies have linked exposure to heavy metals to the risks of CVD and diabetes, particularly in populations from low‐ and middle‐income countries, where concomitant rapid development occurs. In this review, we 1) assessed the totality, quantity, ...... hiện toàn bộ
Association between timing of peritoneal dialysis initiation and mortality in end‐stage renal disease Tập 5 - Trang 37-43 - 2019
Yuan Peng, Xiao Yang, Wei Chen, Xue-Qing Yu
AbstractDespite the widespread use of chronic dialysis for end‐stage renal disease (ESRD), there is no consensus on the optimal timing of initiating renal replacement therapy. Over the past decade, a worldwide trend toward increasing glomerular filtration rate at the initiation of dialysis has been noted. However, available data indicate that early dialysis has no ...... hiện toàn bộ
Comparison of 627 patients with right‐ and left‐sided colon cancer in China: Differences in clinicopathology, recurrence, and survival Tập 3 - Trang 51-59 - 2017
Qiong Qin, Lin Yang, Yong-Kun Sun, Jian-Ming Ying, Yan Song, Wen Zhang, Jin-Wan Wang, Ai-Ping Zhou
AbstractObjectiveRecent studies have reported increased mortality for right‐sided colon cancers; however, the results are conflicting for different stage tumors. We examined the differences in clinicopathology between right‐ and left‐sided colon cancers and the relationships between colon cancer location (right‐ and left‐side) and...... hiện toàn bộ

Advances for achieving a pathological complete response for rectal cancer after neoadjuvant therapy Tập 2 - Trang 10-16 - 2016
Jian Cui, Hui Fang, Lin Zhang, Yun-Long Wu, Hai-Zeng Zhang
AbstractNeoadjuvant therapy has become the standard of care for locally advanced mid‐low rectal cancer. Pathological complete response (pCR) can be achieved in 12%–38% of patients. Patients with pCR have the most favorable long‐term outcomes. Intensifying neoadjuvant therapy and extending the interval between termination of neoadjuvant treatment and surgery may inc...... hiện toàn bộ
Chimeric antigen receptor modified T‐cells for cancer treatment Tập 4 - Trang 225-243 - 2018
Xiao Han, Yao Wang, Wei-Dong Han
AbstractT cells engineered with the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) are rapidly emerging as an important immunotherapy for hematologic malignancies. The anti‐cluster of differentiation (CD)19 CAR‐T cell therapy has been remarkably successful against refractory/relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and a complete remission rate as high as 90% was observed, in...... hiện toàn bộ
Association between quality of life and anxiety, depression, physical activity and physical performance in maintenance hemodialysis patients Tập 2 - Trang 110-119 - 2016
Yi-Nan Li, Bryan Shapiro, Jun Chul Kim, Min Zhang, Janos Porszasz, Rachelle Bross, Usama Feroze, Rajeev Upreti, David Martin, Kamyar Kalantar-Zadeh, Joel David Kopple
AbstractObjectiveMaintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients often have impaired quality of life (QOL), anxiety, depression, and reduced daily physical activity (DPA) and physical performance. The contributions of these latter factors to reduced QOL in MHD are poorly understood. We examined the association of QOL with anxiety, depress...... hiện toàn bộ
