To explore the feasibility of biodegradable fiber-reinforced 3D scaffolds with satisfactory mechanical properties for the repair of long-distance sciatic nerve defect in rabbits and effects of vascularized graft in early stage on the recovery of neurological function, Schwann cells and vascular endothelial cells were cocultured in the fiber-reinforced 3D scaffolds. Experiment group which used p...

Trigeminal trophic syndrome (TTS) is an uncommon condition characterised by anaesthesia, paraesthesias and ala nasi ulceration, following peripheral or central damage to the trigeminal nerve. Only about 100 cases have been described in the literature to date. We report a 74-year-old woman who presented with a right cheek ulcer accompanied by pruritus and paraesthesia for three months. An old ri...

Background: We present a case of herpes zoster-induced by the COVID-19 vaccine, with sixth nervepalsy and keratouveitis. Case presentation: A 77-year-old patient presented to hospital right-sided headache, dysesthesiasin trigeminal territory, diplopia, restricted abduction in right eye. She had been vaccinated Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine three weeks prior. Examination revealed weakness elevated int...

Abstract Background As a common malignancy, gastric cancer (GC) remains an important threat to human’s health. The incidence of synchronous multiple (SMGC) has increased obviously with technical advances endoscopic and pathological examinations. Several studies have investigated the relationship between SMGC solitary (SGC). However, little is known about early advanced SMGCs, independent risk f...

An 11-month-old French bulldog was presented for a recurrent fluid-filled mass located ventral to the right pinna. infected parotid sialocele diagnosed using ultrasonography, computed tomographic sialography and cytological analysis of fluid. The dog also had superficial corneal ulcer because iatrogenic facial nerve paralysis secondary previous attempts by referring veterinarian excise surgical...

Initially, TTS lesions were believed to be a sequel of impaired nerve fibers resulting in the loss of neuronal trophic factors.6 Later, researchers realized that the condition is caused by self manipulation of the desensate itchy skin in a reflexive action to get rid of the troublesome dysethesias.3,6 Although TTS characteristically affects the ipsilateral nasal ala, cheeks, and upper lip, invo...

Studies have shown that pre-moxibustion protects the gastric mucosa by up-regulating the expression of heat shock protein 70. However, the signaling pathway underlying this effect remains unclear. Rats were intragastrically administered absolute alcohol, causing obvious lesion of the gastric mucosa. Following pre-moxibustion at Zusanli (ST36) for 8 days, the ulcer index decreased to different d...

AIMS The aim of the study was to determine if there is a permanent disorder of mucosal blood flow in patients with solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS) or a disorder related to autonomic gut innervation and physiological function that is reversible concomitant with successful treatment. Rectal mucosal blood flow was used as a validated measure of extrinsic autonomic nerve function. METHODS S...
