- Influence of blood glucose fluctuation, C-peptide level and conventional risk factors on carotid artery intima-media thickness in Chinese Han patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. [Journal Article]
- EJEur J Med Res 2019 Feb 20; 24(1):13
- CONCLUSIONS: Blood glucose fluctuation is an independent risk factor associated with CIMT in T2DM patients, in addition to conventional risk factors, such as smoking, high UA level and 2 h C-peptide. Therefore, more attention should be given to the change of CIMT and the complications.
- Detection of serum MCP-1 and TGF-β1 in polymyositis/dermatomyositis patients and its significance. [Journal Article]
- EJEur J Med Res 2019 Feb 14; 24(1):12
- CONCLUSIONS: Serum MCP-1 and TGF-β1 levels increased in PM/DM patients, and were closely correlated to the complication of ILD. This finding can be used for distinguishing between pulmonary infections and ILD, providing a new diagnostic method for the early prediction of DM/PM complicated with ILD.

- Hemodynamic consequences of intravenously given E. coli suspension: observations in a fulminant sepsis model in pigs, a descriptive case-control study. [Journal Article]
- EJEur J Med Res 2019 Feb 13; 24(1):11
- CONCLUSIONS: These results may serve as additional pathophysiological information of hemodynamic changes occurring during hypodynamic sepsis and may contribute to a better understanding of the pathomechanism of septic multiple organ failure.

- Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells implantation accelerates cutaneous wound healing in diabetic rats via the Wnt signaling pathway. [Journal Article]
- EJEur J Med Res 2019 Feb 08; 24(1):10
- CONCLUSIONS: The activation of the Wnt signaling pathway promotes the healing of diabetic skin wound by the regulation of proliferation and differentiation of hUCMSCs on the CCLDADM scaffold.

- The assessment of the kinematics of the rescuer in continuous chest compression during a 10-min simulation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. [Journal Article]
- EJEur J Med Res 2019 Feb 08; 24(1):9
- CONCLUSIONS: We believe that raising the rescuer's hips by moving the center of the rescuer's body over the point of sternal compression increases the value of the CC force vector, thereby increasing the depth of CC. In addition, we observed that, during an effective CC, the rescuer was unable to maintain arms straight and, in consequence, a slight elbow flexion was observed. It, however, did not influence the quality of the maneuver.

- Neuroendocrine carcinoma of gallbladder: a case series and literature review. [Journal Article]
- EJEur J Med Res 2019 Feb 04; 24(1):8
- CONCLUSIONS: Gallbladder NEC showed no noticeably specific features, and the diagnosis relied on the pathological and immunohistochemistrical results. For T1N0M0 gallbladder NEC, cholecystectomy might be enough. For patients in a late stage, the management of combined therapies might be optimal.

- TPPA titer as a new adaptation for early diagnosis of congenital syphilis: a retrospective analysis of observation over three years in Yunnan, China. [Journal Article]
- EJEur J Med Res 2019 Feb 02; 24(1):7
- CONCLUSIONS: In infants with SPA, the TRUST converted negative earlier than the TPPA. The lower the TPPA initial titer was, the shorter the seroreversion time required. The TPPA titer can be used to predict CS in infants born to mothers with syphilis.

- In vivo evaluation of a regenerative approach to nasal dorsum augmentation with a polycaprolactone-based implant. [Journal Article]
- EJEur J Med Res 2019 Jan 28; 24(1):6
- CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicated that the investigated polycaprolactone-based implants have shown a regenerative and stable nasal dorsum augmentation after 6 months in vivo. Thus, we believe that customized polycaprolactone-based implants could become an alternative technique for nasal dorsum augmentation without the need for autologous cartilage grafts.

- Staurosporine induces apoptosis in pancreatic carcinoma cells PaTu 8988t and Panc-1 via the intrinsic signaling pathway. [Journal Article]
- EJEur J Med Res 2019 Jan 28; 24(1):5
- CONCLUSIONS: Modern therapeutic strategies for tumor diseases target the efficient modulation of specific signaling and transcription pathways. In this respect, the therapeutic potential of protein kinase inhibitors has been repeatedly discussed. Our study showed that staurosporine induces apoptosis in pancreatic carcinoma cells via the intrinsic signaling pathway. Thus, staurosporine is a suitable positive control for in vitro apoptosis tests for the pancreatic cancer cell lines PaTu 8988t and Panc-1. Further clinical studies should analyze the impact of this finding on cancer treatment.

- Orthogeriatric treatment reduces potential inappropriate medication in older trauma patients: a retrospective, dual-center study comparing conventional trauma care and co-managed treatment. [Journal Article]
- EJEur J Med Res 2019 Jan 22; 24(1):4
- CONCLUSIONS: Our findings show that an integrated care concept can reduce the number of prescriptions of PIMs significantly and potentially avoids adverse drug reactions and additional burdens in older trauma patients.
