Scalp electroacupuncture targeting trigeminal nerve activation alleviates post‐traumatic stress disorder–induced depression and neuroinflammation in mice

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Scalp electroacupuncture (SA) through activation of the trigeminal pathway exerts anti‐inflammatory, antidepressant, and anxiolytic effects in an animal model of post‐traumatic stress disorder induced by single prolonged stress. This suggests that SA is involved in neuroinflammation and changes in brain‐derived neurotrophic factor protein through the ...

Metformin enhances external urethral sphincter integrity and restores continence via AMPK activation in a rat model of stress urinary incontinence

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The pathogenesis of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is intimately associated with injury to the external urethral sphincter (EUS). In this study, we established an SUI model induced by double vaginal distension and demonstrated that metformin treatment activated the AMPK signaling in the EUS tissue.

Health‐related quality of life following total minimally invasive, hybrid minimally invasive or open oesophagectomy: a population‐based cohort study

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020
All patients operated for oesophageal cancer in Sweden from 2013 to April 2018 were identified, and 246 patients were recruited to this population‐based nationwide Swedish study. The results show that longitudinal health‐related quality of life after minimally invasive oesophagectomy was similar to that of the open surgical approach.
