Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening condition characterized by lung inflammation and high mortality rates. Lung cancer, specifically lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), is a major cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Patients with LUAD, particularly those undergoing chemotherapy, are more likely to develop ARDS.

Methods: The sepsis-induced ALI mouse and cell models were established by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induction. Lung injury was assayed by hematoxylin and eosin staining, lung injury score, and lung wet-to-dry (W/D) weight ratio.

is an important health problem in human and animals, and the highlighting side effects of launched therapeutic chemicals cannot be ignored. Thus, it is urgent to develop new drugs to against the infection. Myrislignan originated from nutmeg exhibited excellent anti- activity and , and was able to destroy mitochondrial function.

Methods: From January 2013 to December 2015, 26 patients underwent single open-door laminoplasty in C₃-C₇. Among them, 10 patients with ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament, there were 6 males and 4 females, aged from 39 to 58 years old with an average of 49.
Objective: To evaluate the clinical effects of dynamic neutralization system (K-Rod) in treating multisegmental lumbar degenerative disease.
Methods: From October 2011 to October 2013, 20 patients with multisegmental lumbar degenerative disease were treated with dynamic neutralization system (K-Rod). There were 8 males and 12 females with an average age of 45.
Objective: To investigate the correlation between the kyphosis angle of injured vertebral body and the risk of upper adjacent vertebral fracture after percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) using an osteoporotic vertebral compressed fracture model.
Materials And Methods: 24 functional spinal units (FSUs, T9 to L4) were selected from 6 elderly formalin preserved vertebral specimens to build the vertebral compressed fracture model. According to the kyphosis angle between the upper plate of upper vertebral body and the horizontal plane, group A (0°) and group B (20°) were defined, with each group comprised with 12 FSUs.
