Filter by:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the main cause of dementia. At present, AD is incurable. Memantine is recommended for the treatment of moderate and severe AD patients. Sodium oligomannate (GV-971) is a marine-derived oligosaccharide. It is proposed that it can reconstitute the gut microbiota, and inhibit neuroinflammation in the brain as observed in animal models. It reduces Aβ deposition in the brain of Aβ-transgenic mice. The reduction in both Aβ deposition and neuroinflammation may synergistically contribute to the improvement of cognitive impairment and delay the progress of the disease. China Food and Drug Administration（CFDA）approved it for the treatment of mild to moderate AD in 2019. Due to the different mechanism of memantine and GV-971, theoretically, they may synergistically improve cognitive function and delay disease progression. However, there is a lack of data on their effectiveness and safety. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of memantine and GV-971 monotherapy and combination therapy in patients with moderate to severe AD, which is of great significance for guiding the treatment of moderate and severe AD.
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is the changing of joint structure (ligaments, muscles and cartilage) that cause impairments and movement restrictions. It is one of the primary sources of low back pain among female population and often misdiagnosed. Almost 15-30% patients are suffering from sacroiliac joint dysfunction who presented with the complaint of low back pain. The aim of the study is to determine the effect of mulligan's mobilization with and without clamshell exercise on pain, disability and quality of life in patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
The incidence of perineal scars after a pregnancy is high, either related to an episiotomy or to spontaneous perineal tears. These perineal scars can result in acute pain but also in chronic pain for some women. Medical treatment includes level 1 and 2 analgesics and, even for a few women, level 3 analgesic. The MILTA® uses photons which are emitted with low intensity in the visible and near infrared combining 5 physical principles to reduce pain : 1- The NPCL (Nano-Pulsed Cold Laser) emissions in coherent infrared light, at 905 nanometers; 2- Non-coherent emissions, pulsed by trichromatic RGB CSM diodes (400 to 650 nm); 3- Continuous non-coherent infrared emission monochromatic diodes at 905 nm; 4- A constant circular magnetic field (200 millitesla) equivalent to the terrestrial magnetic field and 5- The effect of magnetic tunnel which potentiates the light propagation. MILTA® treatment has been shown to be effective in various managements of pain, but has never been used in pain related to perineal scars. This randomized controlled trial aims at assessing MILTA vs placebo to reduce pain related to perineal scars after pregnancy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of YES-ERACE (Youth Empowerment Solutions for Engaging Youth for Anti-Racism and Cultural Equity) compared to regular after school programming in increasing youth empowerment, promoting anti-racist behaviors, and decreasing youth violence. Through the evidence-based YES (Youth Empowerment Solutions) program, youth design and implement projects to help improve their communities. In the current study, investigators adapted the existing YES curriculum to empower youth from diverse backgrounds to address racism and racial discrimination to reduce violent behavior, including race-based victimization. The adapted curriculum, YES-ERACE, focus on middle school students. The investigators test the effects of YES-ERACE using a group-randomized trial in after-school programs across 6 middle schools, examining the effects of the curriculum on youths' sense of empowerment, racism attitudes, and violent behavior. Dose-response and sustainability of YES-ERACE effects are also examined.
To determine microbiology assessment of infected root canal in young permanent teeth, as well as antimicrobial efficiency of different adjuvant treatment modalities including photodynamic therapy (PDT), high-power diode laser, and essential oils following mechanic-chemical treatment in the treatment of periapical periodontitis in these teeth.
For patients with de novo stage IV breast cancer, the current debate is whether local surgery can improve the survival of patients. There is no clinical study on the classification after systemic treatment of de novo stage IV breast cancer patients. In fact, the clinical stage of tumor can change with the change of treatment. For example, the stage Ⅲ of locally advanced breast cancer can down-staging to the stage Ⅱ after systemic treatment. Similarly, patients with stage Ⅳ can down-staging to stage Ⅱ or stage Ⅲ after systemic treatment. At this time, the patient can receive surgical treatment. Therefore, this study is to first treat de novo stage IV breast cancer patients with systemic treatment, according to the response after systemic treatment to give different treatment measures（surgery or continued systemic treatment）. The investigators hope that this study will provide new ideas for the treatment of de novo stage IV breast cancer and other de novo stage IV cancers.
Cellular therapy of the corneal stroma with implantation of mesenchymal stem cells derived from autologous adipose tissue with or without a carrier (scaffold) composed by decellularized human donor corneal stroma is used in patients with corneal diseases such as corneal dystrophies, and keratoconus. For this purpose, the study planned to assess the enhancement of visual acuity, pachymetric, and aberrometric parameters with implantation of autologous mesenchymal adipose tissue-derived adult stem cells (ADASCs) alone, 120 µm thickness of decellularized or recellularized laminas with ADASCs. Three groups will be included in the study: (1) Implantation of a single dose of ADASCs alone without scaffold. (2) Implantation of decellularized human corneal lamina without ADASCs. (3) Implantation of the recellularized human corneal lamina with ADASCs.
All the data of patients with patellar dislocation will be collected to evaluate the anatomic deformities. The data includes X-ray, CT, MRI examinations, medical records, and physical examination information. Finally, we correlate the anatomic deformities with clinical efficacy. To search for the risk factors that lead to patellar dislocation and influence the therapeutic effect.
● Null hypothesis (H0): Unilateral pedicle screw with contralateral interbody cage has better outcomes than unilateral pedicle screw fixation with ipsilateral cage. ● Alternative hypothesis (H1): Unilateral pedicle screw with contralateral interbody cage gives the same outcomes as unilateral pedicle screw fixation with ipsilateral cage.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of zanubrutinib in the treatment of immune thrombocytopenia in 30 patients.
