To compare the success rates and safety of two-doses of methotrexate versus single dose of methotrexate in ectopic tubal pregnancy. ⋯ Although, β -hCG resolution time was significantly low in two-dose protocol but single-dose methotrexate offered comparable success rates versus two-dose protocol. Side effects were mild and comparable in both methotrexate treatment protocols. Methotrexate was found to be effective in the medical management of ectopic pregnancy.
-
To explore the effect and value of salbutamol and budesonide in the treatment of patients with acute attack of bronchial asthma. ⋯ On the basis of routine treatment, budesonide combined with salbutamol atomization inhalation for the treatment of patients with acute attack of asthma can be more efficient in improving symptoms and pulmonary, function and promote the effective reduction of EOS and IgE levels in peripheral blood.
-
To evaluate and compare the effects of redo percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty with initial percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty (PMV) in mitral restenosis (MR) and de novo mitral stenosis (MS) patients, respectively. ⋯ Redo PMV for MR when performed after successful initial PMV is effective, has considerable rate of procedural success, which is achieved with a complication rate less as compared to initial PMV for de novo mitral stenosis.
-
To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of directional dilation in transurethral columnar balloon dilation of the prostate (TUCBDP), and summarize relevant experience. ⋯ Directional dilation is improved in TUCBDP as having the advantages of safety and effectiveness, and it is worthy of clinical promotion.

To investigate the effects of percutaneous vertebroplasty with high viscosity bone cement on pain and the levels of bone specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), Type-I collagen cross-linked telopeptide (CTX) and serum osteocalcin (BGP) in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. ⋯ Percutaneous vertebroplasty with high viscosity bone cement in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures can reduce the incidence of bone cement leakage and help to further reduce pain and improve bone metabolism.
