To determine the application value of interstitial brachytherapy in the treatment of recurrent cervical cancer. ⋯ Interstitial brachytherapy radiotherapy touts various benefits in the treatment of patients with recurrent cervical cancer, such as good short-term efficacy, high local control rate, reduced incidence of advanced bladder and rectal toxicity, and improved quality of life.
-
To assess the value of feature-tracking cardiac magnetic resonance (FT-CMR) imaging in the quantitative evaluation of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). ⋯ FT-CMR, a non-invasive and rapid method for analyzing myocardial strains, has a high diagnostic value for AMI and should be helpful for the prevention and intervention of ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarctions.
-
To investigate the difference of application of core needle biopsy histology and fine needle aspiration cytology in cervical lymphadenopathy. ⋯ No significant difference was observed between core needle biopsy histology and fine needle aspiration cytology in diagnosing cervical lymphadenopathy, but the former has a high complication rate.

To investigate the therapeutic effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) combined with donepezil on stroke patients with memory impairment. ⋯ TDCS combined with donepezil can reduce or delay the cognitive impairment of stroke patients, improve their delayed memory ability, increase the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the cerebral cortex, and further enhance their neural function. Findings in our study support that the proposed therapeutic method is worthy of clinical application.
