Microwave Ablation after VATS in Patients with Multiple Pulmonary Nodules.
J Cancer Res Ther
October 2024
Background: The management of residual nodules after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for multiple pulmonary nodules (MPNs) is challenging. Microwave ablation (MWA), which is highly repeatable and minimally invasive, has garnered widespread attention in the treatment of MPNs.
Methods: Ninety-one patients with MPNs who underwent VATS for resection of high-risk nodules followed by MWA for residual nodules were examined.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares two suture configurations (loop vs. free-edge) used during all-inside arthroscopic repair of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) for chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI).
- Results showed that both groups had similar postoperative recovery and outcomes, but the loop suture configuration resulted in better anterior talar translation (ATT) despite requiring a longer procedure time.
- The conclusion suggests that while the loop suture may improve ATT, the overall functional outcomes of the two configurations are comparable, raising questions about the long-term clinical significance of these findings.
BACKGROUND Although a relationship between vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and articular cartilage degeneration has been reported, little is known regarding its role in articular cartilage injury induced by sports activities. In this study, we evaluated the role of VEGF in a rat model of chronic sports arthritic injury. MATERIAL AND METHODS Animals were divided into 3 groups: Control (n=10), Vehicle (chronic sports arthritic injury, n=10), and Bevacizumab (chronic sports arthritic injury treated with anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody Bevacizumab, n=10).

A total of 86 lung cancer patients in early stage were selected for the treatment between May, 2010 and December, 2010. The patients were randomly divided into the control (n=43) and observation (n=43) groups.

Previous studies have suggestedthat EGFL7 acts as a facilitator for tumor angiogenesis. However, little is known as to its role in osteosarcoma.
