Microbiota profiles in the saliva, cancerous tissues and its companion paracancerous tissues among Chinese patients with lung cancer.

Background: Despite the growing interest in the impact of the gut microbiome on cancer, the relationship between the lung microbiome and lung cancer has received limited investigation. Additionally, the composition of the oral microbiome was found to differ from that of individuals with lung cancer, indicating that these microorganisms may serve as potential biomarkers for the detection of lung cancer.

Methods: Forty-three Chinese lung cancer patients were enrolled in the current retrospective study and 16 S rRNA sequencing was performed on saliva, cancerous tissue (CT) and paracancerous tissue (PT) samples.

Analysis of the risk factors for secondary hemorrhage after abdominal surgery.

Introduction: This study aimed to conduct a clinical review and analysis to recommend options for the prevention and treatment of postoperative hemorrhage.

Patients And Methods: A total of 138 patients who experienced postoperative hemorrhage after abdominal surgery in the period between January 2015 and December 2020 at the Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine, participated in this study. They were divided into a group with primary bleeding only and a secondary bleeding group.

Predictive value of red blood cell distribution width in critically ill patients with atrial fibrillation: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among elderly patients especially for patients in ICU. Previous studies revealed the impact of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) on predicting onset of AF. However, the prognostic value of RDW in critically ill patients with AF remains largely unknown.
