Background: Type A aortic dissection is a fatal disease. However, the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related genes (ERSRGs) in type A aortic dissection has not yet been fully clarified.
Methods: Differentially expressed genes in the aorta of type A aortic dissection patients were analyzed based on the GSE52093 database.
Cardiovascular syphilis manifests many years after primary infection. Here, we report the successful treatment of a patient who developed syphilitic aortitis with bilateral coronary ostial stenosis and aortic insufficiency. The patient underwent right coronary artery bypass grafting, left main coronary ostial "open" stent placement, and mechanical aortic valve placement during open-heart surgery.

Mirror-image dextrocardia is characterized by a mirror-image change of the normal position of the heart. Most cases are accompanied by situs inversus viscerum, whereas only 3% to 10% of cases are associated with intracardiac anomalies.

This case report describes a 71-year-old male patient with chronic aortic dissection who was admitted to hospital due to repeated palpitations and chest distress. He had a long-term occlusion of the right coronary artery and an abnormal origin of the left vertebral artery.

Through the joint Hookwire positioning of 3D-CTBA, application in thoracoscopic segmentectomy and CT energy spectrum curve, retrospective analysis of diagnosis of intrathoracic lymph node metastasis in non-small-cell lung cancer, 3D-CTBA and CT-guided Hookwire localization, and preoperative CT-enhanced scanning were performed using two methods. The experimental results showed that the chest tube placement time, postoperative thoracic drainage volume, and postoperative hospital stay after the first operation all showed a good trend.

Objective: The prevention and treatment of MIRI are a hotspot of modern medical research, and this study is aimed at providing reliable reference and guidance for future clinical prevention and treatment of MIRI by analyzing the effects of ulinastatin (UL) on cardiac function and MIRI of patients after CVR.
Methods: A total of 104 patients undergoing CVR under cardiopulmonary bypass in our hospital were selected as research participants.

Objective: To investigate the differential expression of miR-126-5p in patients with lung adenocarcinoma and explore the possible mechanism.
Methods: We searched STARBASE database to analyze the differential expression of miR-126-5p between lung adenocarcinoma tissues and normal lung tissues. The prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma was analyzed on Kaplan-Meier Plotter online website, and the survival curves of the patients with different expression levels of miR-126-5p were generated.
