To explore the clinical efficacy of butylphthalide in treating patients with stroke attributed to intracranial artery stenosis (ICAS). ⋯ Butylphthalide in addition to routine treatment can effectively improve cerebrovascular reserve function, promote neurological and cognitive dysfunction recovery, and enhance daily living ability of patients with stroke caused by ICAS.

One third of the neonatal deaths worldwide are attributed to perinatal asphyxia. We aimed to determine the prevalence and determinants of cardiac dysfunction, through echocardiographic evaluation, in term neonates with perinatal asphyxia. ⋯ Myocardial dysfunction among neonates with perinatal asphyxia is common and severity of asphyxia, mode of delivery and presence of patent ductus arteriosus are important determinants.
-
To investigate the effect of periodic nursing interventions on improving compliance behavior and health status in long-term hemodialysis patients. ⋯ Periodic nursing interventions may effectively improve the compliance behavior and health status of patients, enhance the efficacy of hemodialysis treatment, and improve the quality of life of patients.

This study explores the application and feasibility of problem based learning (PBL), integrating case based learning (CBL), and the mini clinical evaluation exercise (Mini-CEX) into the standardized training of residents in nephrology department, in order to assess their clinical skills in a comprehensive manner. ⋯ PBL-CBL and Mini-CEX may be an effective method for improving medical residents' performance and enhancing their clinical skills, which is worthy of promotion in the standardized training of the residents.

To compare the effectiveness of different tirofiban administration time windows in patients with no-reflow myocardial infarction (MI) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). ⋯ Compared with the direct application of tirofiban, tirofiban given when TIMI Grade≥ 1 for patients with no-reflow MI during PCI can more effectively regulate the blood flow status of target vessels, reduce myocardial injury, and reduce the risk of MACE.
