BACKGROUND
Dao-Tan decoction (DTD) is a Chinese herb prescription used to treat atherosclerosis or dizziness for centuries. Previous study shows that DTD could inhibit intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression induced by tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). However, its mechanism has never

METHODS
We report a case of a 45 years old Chinese woman who developed moderate to severe headache and dizziness 1 year after 2D radiation
OBJECTIVE
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha is a key player in the tumor microenvironment and is involved in the pathogenesis of breast cancer. Etanercept is a recombinant human soluble p75 TNF receptor that binds to TNF-alpha and renders it biologically unavailable. In the current study, we sought
As a neurotologic disorder of persistent non-vertiginous dizziness, chronic subjective dizziness (CSD) arises unsteadily by psychological and physiological imbalance. The CSD is hypersensitivity reaction due to exposure to complex motions visual stimuli. However, the pathophysiological features and

The clinical and radiologic findings in 30 patients who sustained injuries to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) were retrospectively analyzed. Imaging consisted of variable combinations of radiography, tomography, two-compartment arthrography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging and
In France, radiopharmaceuticals have been considered as drugs since 1992. Few adverse reactions with radiopharmaceuticals were described in the literature. Some authors have reported a rate of 1 to 6 reactions per 100,000 injections. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of
Carbon monoxide (CO) has the toxic effects of tissue hypoxia and produces various systemic and neurological complications. The main clinical manifestations of acute CO poisoning consist of symptoms caused by alterations of the cardiovascular system such as initial tachycardia and hypertension, and
BACKGROUND
Loxosceles spiders are ubiquitous and responsible for many cases of envenomation in the world. The kind rufescens is present in the Provence and Occitan regions in France. During the summer 2015, we faced many Loxosceles rufescens cases of bites having led to extensive integumental
OBJECTIVE
Surgery for otosclerosis has a highly satisfactory hearing outcome, for both the patient and the otologic surgeon. However, subsequent conductive hearing loss, dizziness/vertigo, or sound distortion could necessitate revision surgery. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the
