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.
Based on the current background and our previous studies, TUS has been proved that rTUS intervention could induce long-term potentiation like (LTP-like) plasticity and neuromodulate the brain cortex in schizophrenia patients. rTUS over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) can alleviate the negative symptoms in schizophrenia. In this double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled study, the efficacy of different treatment options and mechanisms of low-intensity rTUS on negative symptoms will be investigated.
This study is a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled multicenter clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (UC-MSC) transplantation for the treatment of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). UC-MSC therapy may improve the clinical outcomes of patients with ACLF. The trial would provide scientific evidence for UC-MSC transplantation as a potential treatment for ACLF.

The goal of this Interventional clinical trial is to learn about the efficacy and safety of KN026 and chemotherapy ± KN046 in HER2-positive metastatic colorectal cancer and biliary tract cancer. Participants will receive standard first-line chemotherapy (capecitabine + oxaliplatin) combined with KN026 (a HER2-targeted bispecific antibody) ± KN046 （a PD-L1/CTLA-4 targeted bispecific antibody）.
Gastric signet ring cell carcinoma (GSRCC) possesses unique epidemiology and pathogenesis in the field of cancer, but its incidence is low. Unfortunately, there is currently a lack of systematic research focusing on the prognostic proteomic features of GSRCC. Given this knowledge gap, this study aims to comprehensively characterize the proteomic landscape of GSRCC using a reliable and reproducible DIA-PCT method. This study objectives include characterizing the heterogeneity of GSRCC, performing molecular typing, identifying potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets, and providing a resource for stratified analysis of GSRCC. To achieve these goals, the investigators selected a cohort of 112 GSRCC patients from a pool of over 10,000 gastric cancer patients and conducted a proteomic analysis using the DIA-PCT method. This meticulous approach revealed four novel proteomic subtypes of GSRCC, each exhibiting unique molecular characteristics. Additionally, the investigators discovered that PRDX2 and DDX27 can serve as predictive biomarkers for GSRCC, which were further validated in an independent cohort of 75 GSRCC patients. Furthermore, the investigators paid particular attention to the MLT-GSRCC subgroup and identified three distinct proteomic clusters among MLT-GSRCC patients. Subtype 2 within this subgroup demonstrated the poorest prognosis. Through a rigorous screening process, the investigators determined potential targets for the treatment of GSRCC. In conclusion, these findings contribute to the investigators understanding of the heterogeneity of GSRCC and provide valuable resources for future clinical stratification and targeted treatment strategies.
The imaging manifestations of diaphragmatic hernia and diaphragmatic distension were retrospectively analyzed and summarized, combined with the surgical findings, to summarize the differences in indirect signs of diaphragmatic hernia and diaphragmatic distension, so as to achieve the purpose of differential diagnosis.Research contents: (1) To summarize the characteristics of indirect imaging signs in patients with diaphragmatic hernia, to sum up the incidence of each sign, to find new signs and the prognosis of each sign; (2) Summarize the characteristics of indirect imaging signs in patients with diaphragmatic distension, summarize the incidence of each sign, and search for new signs and the prognosis of each sign; (3) To summarize the differences in indirect signs of diaphragmatic hernia and diaphragmatic distension, as well as the differences in their incidence, and combined with their surgical findings, to summarize their image identification points
Based on real world and focusing on patients with chronic sleep disorders, this study conducts a data-driven subtyping research on the clinical symptoms, polysomnography, near-infrared scanning, molecular genetics, and other characteristics of chronic insomnia disorders. It constructs a multimodal therapeutic outcome prediction model, providing a basis for personalized interventions for chronic insomnia disorder.
Natural Orifice Specimen Extraction Surgery (NOSES), which involves obtaining specimens from the abdominal cavity without any incisions, has attracted much attention in recent years, and it has been widely popularized in the treatment of rectal cancer because of its postoperative non-incision, advantages of less trauma, quicker recovery, and postoperative aesthetics. Anastomotic fistula is a serious complication of rectal cancer surgery. For patients at high risk of anastomotic fistula, prophylactic ileostomy is often performed intraoperatively to divert feces and protect the anastomosis. For such patients, rectal anterior resection surgery with specimen extraction via stoma (NOSES with specimen extraction via stoma) is usually performed, borrowing a prophylactic stoma incision to retrieve the specimen, and also realizing the absence of additional abdominal incision. However, this procedure is prone to stoma infection and has a high complication rate (20-40%), which limits the popularization of NOSES surgery and is an urgent clinical problem. Our center has proposed a new stoma closure method (Dumpling Suture Method), which reduces the size of the incision by folding the suture to achieve the effect of hiding the skin incision and reduce stoma infection. In our previous study, 17 cases of the new procedure were completed in our center, and 25 patients with stoma closure by the traditional method were included in the same period for control purposes. After six months of follow-up, we found that the "dumpling suture method" significantly reduced the incidence of stoma complications compared with the traditional suture method (5.8% vs. 36%), and no additional adverse effects were observed. This is a single-center, open-label, randomized, parallel-controlled clinical study planned to recruit 66 patients randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the trial and control groups. The primary endpoint is stoma complication rate at 30 days postoperatively. In this study, we aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the "dumpling suture method " compared with the traditional stoma suture in reducing postoperative stoma complications through a randomized parallel controlled clinical trial, which is of great significance for the improvement of the rectal NOSES procedure and the reduction of the incidence of stoma complications.
