Multimodal Deep Learning Network for Differentiating Between Benign and Malignant Pulmonary Ground Glass Nodules.

Objective: This study aimed to establish a multimodal deep-learning network model to enhance the diagnosis of benign and malignant pulmonary ground glass nodules (GGNs).

Methods: Retrospective data on pulmonary GGNs were collected from multiple centers across China, including North, Northeast, Northwest, South, and Southwest China. The data were divided into a training set and a validation set in an 8:2 ratio.

RNA-binding protein CELF6 modulates transcription and splicing levels of genes associated with tumorigenesis in lung cancer A549 cells.

CELF6 (CUGBP Elav-Like Family Member 6), a canonical RNA binding protein (RBP), plays important roles in post-transcriptional regulation of pre-mRNAs. However, the underlying mechanism of lower expressed CELF6 in lung cancer tissues is still unclear. In this study, we increased CELF6 manually in lung cancer cell line (A549) and utilized transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) technology to screen out differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and alternative splicing events (ASEs) after CELF6 over-expression (CELF6-OE).

Alternatively Expressed Transcripts Analysis of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells under Different Hypoxic Microenvironment.

Globally, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most fatal form of malignancy. Numerous studies have shown that people living at high altitudes are at a higher risk for cancer. Hypoxia is one of the most important features in high altitude area.

Thoracoscopic Resection of a Rare Case of Hemangioma of the Azygos Venous Arch.

Hemangioma of the azygos venous arch is an exceedingly rare incident. This is a case of a thoracoscopic complete resection of a hemangioma of the azygos venous arch in a 37-year-old woman.

Clinical analysis of thoracoscopic surgery combined with intraoperative autologous blood transfusion in the treatment of traumatic hemothorax.

From January 2013 to January 2015, 19 patients of traumatic hemothorax with hemorrhagic shock were treated in our department by thoracoscopic surgery combined with autologous blood transfusion. This study retrospectively analyzed the therapeutic effect and shared our experience. The average amount of blood transfused back was 662.

Uric acid lowering effect of Tibetan Medicine RuPeng15 powder in animal models of hyperuricemia.

Objective: To evaluate the influence of the Tibetan medicine RuPeng15 powder (RPP15) on uric acid levels, and explore its possible mechanisms of action in hyperuricemic animal models.

Methods: Hyperuricemic mice were generated by orally administering yeast extract paste twice daily (30 g/kg) for 8 days, to mimic human hyperuricemia induced by high-protein diets. Hyperuricemic rats were generated by intraperitoneal injection of 250 mg/kg potassium oxonate to each animal 1 h before the last oral administration of test compounds, which raised the serum uric acid level by inhibiting the decomposition of uric acid.

Multiple metallic foreign bodies accidentally detected in different body cavities: a case report.

We accidentally found an unusual case of a middle aged Tibetan woman who had eight metallic foreign bodies (eight needles) in her head, chest and abdomen. These needles were not related to any surgical intervention or trauma. The diagnosis "metallic foreign bodies" cannot usually be made in an acute setting.

[Effect of prone position on the oxygenation of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome after failure recruitment maneuvers at high altitudes].

Objective: To assess the effect of prone position on the oxygenation of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) after recruitment maneuvers (RM) failure at high altitudes.

Methods: Forty-one ARDS patients who were invalid for RM therapy at the altitude of 2260 metres area hospital were enrolled[mean oxygenation index (PaO(2)/FiO(2)) increased than RM<20% considered as RM invalid]. All were divided into acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDSp) and extra-acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDSexp) based on different etiology, and each group was randomly divided into the supine and the prone position group, i.
