The market for dietary supplements in the sports sector has been growing rapidly for several years, though there is still lacking evidence regarding their claimed benefits. One group is that of nitric oxide increasing supplements, so-called "NO-boosters," which are claimed to improve the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the muscle by enhancing vasodilation.The aim of this study was to investigate 3 of these supplements in healthy male athletes for their muscle perfusion-enhancing potential using contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS).

This placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized cross-over trial will be carried out at the Center for Orthopedics, Trauma Surgery and Spinal Cord Injury of the University Hospital Heidelberg. Three commercial NO enhancing products including 300 mg of the specific green tea extract VASO6 and a combination of 8 g L-citrulline malate and 3 g L-arginine hydrochloride will be examined for their potential to increase muscular perfusion in 30-male athletes between 18 and 40 years and will be compared with a placebo. On each of the 3 appointments CEUS of the dominant biceps muscle will be performed at rest and after a standardized resistance training. Every athlete receives each of the 3 supplements once after a wash-out period of at least 1 week. Perfusion will be quantified via VueBox quantification software. The results of CEUS perfusion measurements will be compared intra- and interindividually and correlated with clinical parameters.

The results of this study may help to establish CEUS as a suitable imaging modality for the evaluation of potentially vasodilatory drugs in the field of sports. Other supplements could also be evaluated in this way to verify the content of their advertising claims.

This study will summarize the clinical significance of E-Cadherin and β-catenin in early gastric cancer (EGC).

Eligible case-control studies were searched from Cochrane Library, PUBMED, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Google Scholar, CBM, and CNKI from inception to the present. In addition, we will also search other sources to avoid missing potential studies. Two authors will independently carry out study selection, data collection, and study methodological quality. A fixed or random-effects model will be utilize to synthesize the data, and RevMan 5.3 software will be used for data analysis.

This study will summarize all eligible studies to investigate the clinical significance of E-Cadherin and β-catenin in EGC.

The findings of this study may present a genuine understanding of perspective on the clinical significance of E-Cadherin and β-catenin in EGC.

This study aims to assess current evidence of ultrasound in diagnosis of hydatidiform mole (HM) in early pregnancy (EP).

This study will incorporate case-control study on investigating the impact of ultrasound in diagnosis of HM in EP. Potential articles will be retrieved in electronic databases of Cochrane Library, MEDLINE/PUBMED, EMBASE, PsycINFO, WANGFANG, and CNKI from inception to the present. Conference proceeding, website of clinical trial registry, and reference list of key articles will be examined for additional studies. Two independent researchers will scan and select studies, collect and manage data, and appraise methodological quality of all eligible studies. We will carry out summary effect size, statistical heterogeneity, synthesize, and analyze outcome data.

This study will summarize present evidence to assess the accuracy of ultrasound in diagnosis of HM in EP.

This study may provide evidence for ultrasound in diagnosis of HM in EP, which may benefit both patients and clinicians.

Oesophageal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors and has been identified as one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide. Surgery is considered to be the optimal treatment for patients with resectable oesophageal cancer. Oesophagectomy for oesophageal cancer can significantly extend the survival period of patients and provide a potential opportunity for a cure. However, there is still controversy regarding application of neck anastomotic muscle flap embedded. This systematic review and meta-analysis will be performed to determine whether the application of neck anastomotic muscle flap embedded would benefit patients more.

We will search PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cancerlit, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Google Scholar databases for relevant clinical trials published in any language before October 1, 2020. MSA-2 Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), quasi-RCTs, propensity score-matched comparative studies, and prospective cohort studies of interest, published or ill carefully consider inclusion in high-quality, non-RCTs, but this may result in high heterogeneity and affect the reliability of the results.Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is difficult in diagnose, criteria used now are mostly based on history review. We tried to evaluate the value of these criteria and histopathology features in DILI to perform a method diagnosing DILI more definitely.We enrolled 458 consecutive hospitalized DILI patients from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2018, using Roussel-Uclaf Causality Assessment Method (RUCAM), Maria & Victorino scale (M&V), and Digestive Disease Week-Japan criterion (DDW-J) combined with refined pathological scoring system respectively to perform the evaluation.A total of 458 DILI patients were enrolled, the area under receiver operating characteristics (AUROC) of the 3 clinical diagnostic criteria were 0.730 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.667-0.793), 0.793 (95% CI 0.740-0.847), and 0.764 (95% CI 0.702-0.826) respectively. Three hundred two DILI patients' liver biopsies were included steatosis in 204 cases (67.5%), cholestasis in 151 cases (50%), cell apoptosis in 139 cases (46%), eosinophil granulocyte infiltration in 131 cases (43.
