Lung adenocarcinoma pathology stages related gene identification.

: Lung cancer is a deadly disease with the highest 5-year survival rate. Lung adenocarcinoma is the main subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Correct staging is critical as the basis of treatment.

The identification of key biomarkers in patients with lung adenocarcinoma based on bioinformatics.

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is one of the leading causes of cancer death globally. This study aims to investigate the underlying mechanisms implicated with LUAD and identify the key biomarkers. LUAD-associated gene expression dataset (GSE10072) was obtained from GEO database.

[Protective role of pericardial tissue on injured myocardium in rats].

Objective: To define the protective role of pericardial tissue and identify the subcellular population with potential contribution to cardiac protection after injury in a rat model.

Methods: Myocardial infarction (MI) was created by the ligation of left anterior descending artery (LAD) in rats while the pericardial sac was either completely removed (-PC, n = 10) or surgically closed after ligation (+PC, n = 8). The follow-up functional and structure benefits were analyzed by echocardiography and 2,3,5- triphenyl-2H-tetrazolium, chloride(TTC) and bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) staining.

[The choice of thoracoscopic sympathectomy in the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis among different procedures].

Objective: Retrospective analyze the long-term efficacy and compensatory sweating of thoracoscopic sympathectomy in the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis by different operative methods in order to search after a better operative method.

Methods: Retrospective study of 643 cases (498 cases available) palmar hyperhidrosis who accepted video-assisted thoracoscopic bilateral sympathectomy during from 1995 to Aug 2008. The patients were divided into four groups by different operative methods.
