Background: Thoracotomy needs adequate powerful postoperative analgesia. This study aims to compare the safety and efficacy of ultrasound (US)-guided serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) and thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) for perioperative analgesia in cancer patients having lung lobectomy.

Patients And Methods: This clinical trial involved 90 patients with lung cancer scheduled for lung lobectomy randomly divided into three groups according to the type of preemptive regional block.

Article Synopsis
  • The dataset outlines a method to isolate mesenchymal cells from human fat without using collagenase.
  • Fat specimens are cleaned of non-fat tissues and incubated in culture media, allowing cells to grow and spread over five to seven days.
  • Results show that primary cells initially display varied shapes but become more uniform over time, with efficiency and doubling time metrics provided in additional figures.

Objective: The effect of in vitro expansion of human adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) on stem cell properties is controversial. We examined serial subcultivation with expansion on the ability of ASCs to grow and differentiate into osteoblastic lineages.

Design: Flow cytometric analysis, growth kinetics, cell population doubling time, light microscopy and confocal analysis, and osteogenesis induction were performed to assess growth and osteogenic potential of subcultivated ASCs at passages 2 (P2), P4 and P6.
