When comparing both groups, pain was significantly well controlled without analgesic medication supplement in TENS group at 0 hour (difference in mean percent change in NRS = 50.0 [95% CI, 50-51.4], P < .01) and 3 hours (difference in mean percent change in NRS = 134.0 [95% CI, 130.0-142.7], P < .01) after treatment, and this analgesic effect last to 3 weeks after treatment cycle (difference in mean percent change in NRS = 22.5 [95% CI, 17.6-27.3], P < .01) without increase of analgesic medication consumption. TENS reduces pain without increase analgesic medication consumption in patients with pancreatic cancer pain. It provides an alternative therapy for pain in pancreatic cancer.

In the past few decades, the number of surgery of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) implemented in the outpatient centers has dramatically enhanced. There is still a lack of effective randomized controlled trials in the literature to demonstrate the effectiveness of tourniquets. As a kind of prospective clinical trial, this research protocol is conducted to compare the results of ACLR with and without the use of a tourniquet. All the patients aged 18 or over who underwent the selective primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in our hospital from November 2020 to January 2022 are eligible to take part in our experiment. Exclusion criteria are history of peripheral neuropathy, pregnancy, lumbar radiculopathy, or surgery to the injured or contralateral knee. After the written informed consent is given, the patients participating in the study are randomly assigned to the tourniquet group (group 1) and the tourniquet free group (group 2) on the day of operation, through utilizing the computer-generated random table with 10 members in each group. And the assignments were kept in an opaque and sealed envelope. Any comments on visual difficulties in the process of operative time, arthroscopy, complications, and total bleeding from suction and drainage, as well as the reduction of postoperative hemoglobin are assessed as the parameters. The software of SPSS v. 24 is applied for all the statistical analyses. This protocol will provide a reliable theoretical basis for the following research. This study protocol was registered in Research Registry (researchregistry6240). This study protocol was registered in Research Registry (researchregistry6240). Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) significantly improve outcomes of patients with EGFR-mutated non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, acquired resistance inevitably emerges and remains a major challenge. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of EGFR-TKIs plus bevacizumab in advanced non-squamous NSCLC patients with gradual progression on EGFR-TKIs.Advanced non-squamous EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients with gradual progression on EGFR-TKIs were administered bevacizumab while EGFR-TKIs were continued until disease progression occurred. Tumor lesions were assessed, and blood samples were collected at the start of the combination treatment and every 6 weeks until disease progression.Among the 15 included patients, there were no grade 3 or higher adverse events (AEs). Partial response (PR) and stable disease (SD) were achieved in 1 and 13 patients, respectively, with an objective response rate (ORR) of 6.7% and a disease control rate (DCR) of 93.3%. The median pr 5.0 (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.0-6.0) months. Additionally, Spearman correlation analysis revealed that PFS2 was positively correlated with the serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) level at baseline (r = 0.7212, P = .0234). Patients with high baseline serum VEGF levels showed a better median PFS2 than those with low baseline serum VEGF le
