Progress in the Application of Bronchoscopic Cryotherapy in Pediatric Pulmonary Diseases.

Cryotherapy in interventional bronchoscopy is a new treatment modality which has recently been made available for the pediatric airway. Lack of experience and safety concerns have led to hesitant adaptation. The aim of this work was to elaborate on the application progress of cryotherapy in pediatric pulmonary diseases and also to assess indications, success rates, and complications of airway cryotherapy in children.

The Impact of High-Fidelity Simulator System on Bronchoscopy Operation Skills of Trainees Who Receive Refresher Training: A Teaching Study.

Objective:  This study aimed to explore the impact of high-fidelity simulator (HFS) training on the bronchoscopy operation skills, confidence, stress, and learning satisfaction of trainees who further their training at endoscopy center in our hospital. The study also investigated the practical application effects of HFS training and provided a reference for the development of clinical teaching and training programs in hospitals.

Methods:  The 18 trainees who furthered their training at the endoscopy center were evaluated for their bronchoscopy operation skills, confidence, and stress levels before and after HFS training.

The effect of pulmonary rehabilitation on childhood asthma: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a comprehensive nursing intervention for lung function improvement in patients with respiratory diseases. This systematic review focused on further exploration of the unclear impacts of PR on childhood asthma.

Evidence Acquisition: Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, and other databases were searched until May 2021.

Successful management of tracheal lobular capillary hemangioma with arterial embolization followed by electrosurgical snaring flexible bronchoscopy in an 11-year-old boy: A case report and literature review.

Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH), previously known as pyogenic granuloma, is a benign vascular lesion commonly found within the oral and nasal cavities. However, it is rarely encountered within the trachea, especially in pediatric patients, where it manifests as hemoptysis, cough, and wheeze, and is frequently misdiagnosed as bronchitis or asthma. There is limited literature on the presentation, behavior, and management of tracheal LCH.

Association between urinary phthalate levels and chronic pain in US adults, 1999-2004: A nationally representative survey.

Introduction: Chronic pain is a public health concern throughout the world. Ascertaining and managing its risk factors helps develop well-directed treatment plans and prevention strategies. Phthalates (PAEs) exposure leads to various health problems.

Short-Term Benzalkonium Chloride (C) Exposure Induced the Occurrence of Wide-Spectrum Antibiotic Resistance in Agricultural Soils.

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are global pollutants that pose a potential risk to human health. Benzalkonium chloride (C) (BC) disinfectants are thought to exert selection pressure on antibiotic resistance. However, evidence of BC-induced changes in antibiotic resistance in the soil environment is lacking.

[Diagnosis and treatment of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A: a case report and literature review].

We report a case of multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 2A and summarize the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of this condition. The diagnosis of MEN type 2A relies on a comprehensive evaluation of the findings of ultrasound, CT and laboratory examinations, and early diagnosis and treatment is critical to improving the prognosis. Genetic testing of RET is the gold standard for diagnosis of MEN type 2A and 2B.

Two G-protein-coupled-receptor candidates, Cand2 and Cand7, are involved in Arabidopsis root growth mediated by the bacterial quorum-sensing signals N-acyl-homoserine lactones.

Many Gram-negative bacteria use N-acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) as quorum sensing (QS) signaling molecules to coordinate their group behavior. Recently, it was shown that plants can perceive and respond to these bacterial AHLs. However, little is known about the molecular mechanism underlying the response of plants to bacterial QS signals.

[Childhood and adolescent thyroid carcinoma: a clinical analysis of 86 cases].

Objective: To investigate the clinico-pathologic characteristics, treatment and prognosis of thyroid carcinoma in childhood and adolescents.

Methods: From 1984 to 1997, 86 cases with thyroid carcinoma in childhood and adolescent treated were summarized.

Results: All cases underwent operation with adjuvant therapy.

[Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of head and neck: clinical analysis of 21 cases].

Background & Objective: Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is a type of pleomorphic neoplastic diseases with complex pathological structure. Its histological origin is uncertain. It was often classified as other carcinoma.
