This study looked at whether giving fluids (colloids or crystalloids) before general anesthesia can prevent low blood pressure and reduce complications within 30 days after non-cardiac surgery. Over 2,000 adults having elective surgery took part. The goal was to see if this simpl…

This study tested a new drug combination (fluzoparib plus chemotherapy) given before surgery to 28 women with a specific type of early breast cancer (HR+/HER2- with HRD). The goal was to see if it could shrink tumors more effectively. The treatment was given over 8 cycles, and th…

This study looked at whether a drug-coated balloon (DCB) can safely treat blocked heart arteries, possibly avoiding the need for a permanent stent. Researchers followed 2487 patients who received the balloon instead of a stent. The goal was to see how well the balloon prevents he…

This study tested a combination of the immunotherapy drug tislelizumab and chemotherapy (XELOX) given before surgery to 28 people with locally advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. The goal was to see if this approach could shrink tumors more effectively and be sa…

This study looked at 562 adults having minimally invasive heart surgery to see if adding a long-acting steroid (dexamethasone palmitate) to a nerve block could prevent chronic pain better than a standard steroid. Participants received a one-time injection followed by a continuous…

This study tested a personalized form of brain stimulation called iTBS for people with major depression. Researchers used MRI scans to target specific brain areas in 68 participants. The goal was to see if this tailored approach could improve depression symptoms more than a sham …

This study tested a personalized form of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to treat emotional blunting—a common symptom where people feel numb or disconnected—in 80 adults with depression. Researchers used brain imaging to target the stimulation precisely. The goal was to s…

This study looked at 20 adults with and without kidney stones to find differences in blood and urine chemicals. Researchers measured neurotransmitters and gut bacteria byproducts to understand how metabolism may contribute to stone formation. The goal was to identify early warnin…

This study looked back at the records of 471 women who had breast cancer surgery with immediate implant reconstruction. It compared a newer method using a tiny camera through small cuts (endoscopic) to the traditional method with a larger cut. The goal was to see which approach l…

This completed study looked at 300 liver transplant cases to understand why donor livers with fatty liver disease are more likely to be injured after transplantation. Researchers compared genetic activity in archived tissue samples from 50 cases, using advanced techniques to iden…

This study looks back at 700 patients who had endoscopic treatment for gastrointestinal submucosal tumors at Xijing Hospital. Researchers want to know how often the tumors are completely removed, what complications occur, and whether the tumors come back over time. The goal is to…

This study analyzed blood and tumor tissue samples from 28 people with stomach cancer to find biological markers that predict how well immunotherapy (tislelizumab) combined with chemotherapy works before surgery. The goal was to build a model that uses RNA and other factors to fo…
