There are about 36818 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in China. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
In view of the increasingly severe aging situation in China, the perioperative brain health of elderly patients has received increasing attention. Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common postoperative complication characterized by acute consciousness and cognitive dysfunction. The incidence of POD in elderly patients undergoing elective non cardiac surgery is 20%~45%, which often indicates poor cognitive recovery and becomes a heavy burden for family and society. Although the weight of human brain only accounts for 2% of body weight, the oxygen consumption accounts for 20% of the total oxygen consumption of the whole body. On July 2, 2022, the British Journal of Anaesthesia (Chinese Academy of Sciences Division 1, Anesthesiology Division 1, IF11.719), the top international Journal in the field of anesthesiology, published the scientific research achievements of the first author of the applicant. It was found for the first time that sevoflurane, the most commonly used inhalation anesthetic in clinical practice, can cause the activation of glycolysis and the increase of lactic acid in the brain of elderly non-human primate marmosets, which suggests that general anesthetics will affect brain metabolism in the perioperative period. Therefore, we hypothesized that perioperative changes in brain metabolism might be related to the occurrence of POD in elderly patients. The purpose of this study was to study the relationship between the changes of brain metabolites and POD during perioperative period by noninvasive monitoring of the characteristics of brain tissue metabolites 24 hours before and 24 hours after the operation with hydrogen ion proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1-HMRS). In order to complete this purpose, this study plans to collect subjects aged 65~90 years who are scheduled to undergo oral and maxillofacial surgery under general anesthesia. The changes of brain metabolites before and after operation were collected by 1-HMRS, and the postoperative delirium related scale was evaluated to analyze the relationship between perioperative changes of brain metabolites and POD.
Investigating the diagnostic accuracy of online Ultrasonic Flow Ratio (UFR) assessment to identify hemodynamically significant coronary stenosis in patients with suspected ischemic heart disease using angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR) as a reference standard.
Background: Deafness is one of the nine potentially modifiable risk factors for dementia simulated by the Lancet dementia Prevention, intervention and Care Committee in 2017. Some studies have found that the risk factors of dementia in deafness system, with the increase of the degree of deafness, the risk of cognitive decline increases, while after long-term wear of hearing aids, the deterioration of immediate and delayed memory is less, and the possibility of cognitive decline slows down. Therefore, it is necessary for us to improve the auditory ability of patients with deafness through auditory intervention, so as to slow down its effect on dementia and reduce the incidence of dementia. At present, auditory intervention methods include hearing aid wearing and cochlear implant. However, there are few studies on cognitive function of presbycusis patients in China, and there is no research on how many years of auditory intervention can effectively slow down the incidence of dementia in presbycusis patients with MCI. Therefore, we intend to conduct a prospective cohort study on the changes of cognitive function of presbycusis under hearing aid intervention.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of hippocampus-targeted deep brain stimulation (DBS) in treatment-resistant schizophrenia. The main question it aims to answer are: - whether patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia can benefit from hippocampus-targeted DBS; - what is the neural and electrophysiological mechanism underlying the treatment effect of hippocampus-targeted DBS.
The purpose of this study is to enable non-invasive early detection of ovarian cancer in high-risk populations through the establishment of a multimodal machine learning model using plasma cell-free DNA fragmentomics. Plasma cell-free DNA from early stage ovarian cancer patients and healthy individuals will be subjected to whole-genome sequencing. Five diferent feature types, including Fragment Size Coverage (FSC), Fragment Size Distribution (FSD), EnD Motif (EDM), BreakPoint Motif (BPM), and Copy Number Variation (CNV) will be assessed to generate this model.
In preclinical study, investigators have demonstrated that the newly developed pan-T booster (harbouring CD40 agonist and one T cell costimulator agonist) co-expressing MSLN CAR T cell possess more powerful antitumor activity than previously reported MSLN-CAR T cells. In this clinical trial, enrolled patients receive an initial dose of pan-T booster co-expressing MSLN CAR T cells at 1×10^6 cells/kg based on the basic principle of dose escalation design, in order to evaluate the safety, feasibility, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of pan-T booster co-expressing MSLN CAR T cell in vivo.
Gastrointestinal tumor is one of the highest incidence of malignant tumors in our country, with the incidence increasing year by year. Laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery ,due to having less bleeding ,small trauma ,Rapid recovery ,has become the main means for the treatment of gastrointestinal surgery. Under general anesthesia, mechanical ventilation can lead to repeated mechanical dilation of alveoli, which can lead to mechanical injury of alveolar epithelium, reduce lung compliance, affect lung function, and increase postoperative complications and hospital stay of patients. Glycopyrrolate acts selectively on M1 and M3 receptors, and is 3-5 times more selective to M3 and M1 receptors than M2 receptors. Therefore, as preoperative medication for elderly patients, it has less effect on the cardiovascular system and can stabilize the heart rate,compared with atropine.However, its influence on the respiratory system in the field of anesthesia is only limited to the study of inhibiting glandular secretion at present, and there are no clear reports on the study of respiratory mechanics .The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of glycopyrrolate on lung function and respiratory mechanics in elderly patients after general anesthesia, in order to guide clinical medication.
It is an observational, case-control study aimed at early-detection of multiple myeloma and constructing a prognostic model of multiple myeloma. The study will enroll approximately 398 participants including patients with multiple myeloma, patients with benign hematologic disorders and healthy participants.
The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of the NOVA intracranial drug-eluting stent system in "real world" patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis.
The incidence of breast reconstruction failure after conventional photon radiotherapy for breast cancer is about 18.7%. At present, there is limited data on proton radiotherapy for post operative breast cancer with implantation reconstruction. Proton radiotherapy for breast cancer can significantly reduce the radiation dose of the ipsilateral heart and lung, thereby reducing the incidence of cardiac events and radiation pneumonia. This study is aimed at the study of adjuvant hypofractionated intensity-modulated proton radiotherapy for post operative breast cancer with implantation reconstruction. It can provide an ideal treatment option for such patients to effectively protect the heart and lungs without increasing the failure rate of breast reconstruction after adjuvant radiotherapy.
