Comparison of thoracoscopic-guided intercostal nerve block and ultrasound-guided intercostal nerve block in postoperative analgesia of uniportal video-assisted lobectomy: a pilot randomized controlled trial.

Background: Ultrasound-guided intercostal nerve block (UINB) and thoracoscopic-guided intercostal nerve block (TINB) are often used for analgesia after thoracic surgery. Herein, we compared the application of TINB and UINB for analgesia after uniportal video-assisted lobectomy.

Methods: Sixty patients were randomly allocated into two groups: UINB and TINB.

Comparison of postoperative analgesia by thoracoscopic-guided thoracic paravertebral block and thoracoscopic-guided intercostal nerve block in uniportal video-asssited thoracic surgery: a prospective randomized controlled trial.

Background: Thoracoscopic-guided thoracic paravertebral nerve block (TG-TPVB) and thoracoscopic-guided intercostal nerve block (TG-INB) are two postoperative analgesia technology for thoracic surgery. This study aims to compared the analgesic effect of TG-TPVB and TG-INB after uniportal video-asssited thoracic surgery (UniVATS).

Methods: Fifty-eight patients were randomly allocated to the TG-TPVB group and the TG-INB group.

Comparison of Thoracoscopy-Guided Thoracic Paravertebral Block and Ultrasound-Guided Thoracic Paravertebral Block in Postoperative Analgesia of Thoracoscopic Lung Cancer Radical Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Introduction: Ultrasound-guided thoracic paravertebral block (UTPB) is widely used for postoperative analgesia in thoracic surgery. However, it has many disadvantages. Thoracoscopy-guided thoracic paravertebral block (TTPB) is a new technique for thoracic paravertebral block (TPB).

[Non-structural carbohydrate content of trees and its influencing factors at multiple spatial-temporal scales: A review].

Non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) are essential substances for the tree growth and metabolism, and play an important role in environmental adaptation of trees. At temporal scale, NSC contents in trees have limited inter-annual variation, which could be attributed to the strategy of tree growth and carbon storage. Different factors influence NSC contents of trees in various climatic regions, which change substantially at the seasonal scale.

[Tree seedling distribution, regeneration mechanism and response to climate change in alpine treeline ecotone].

Tree seedlings are one of the important components in alpine treeline ecotone, whose regeneration is crucial to treeline migration in response to climate change. We analyzed the spatial distribution, regeneration of tree seedlings and their responses to climate change in treeline ecotone in recent decades. The spatial distribution of tree seedlings in treeline ecotone is dominated by diffuse and clustered forms, with different indicative significance for spatial dynamics of treeline.

[Diurnal variation characteristics of leaf water potential of Spinifex littoreus on the nebkhas in different succession periods on the coast of Pingtan Island, Fujian Province, China.].

Diurnal variation and its influencing factors of leaf water potential (ψ) of Spinifex littoreus on the nebkhas in two succession periods were measured on the coast of Pingtan Island, Fujian Province. The results showed that the diurnal variation of ψ of S. littoreus mainly demonstrated a 'W' curve pattern, with a temporary rise at midday.

[Surface erosion-resistance of Nitraria tangutorun nebkhas at different succession stages in Minqin oasis and related affecting factors].

By measuring the surface shear strength of Nitraria tangutorun nebkhas at different succession stages in the fringe of Minqin oasis, and selecting several typical nebkhas at stabilizing stage to investigate its surface erosion rates before and after removing crust and vegetation, the surface erosion-resistance of N. tangutorun nebkhas and related affecting factors were studied. The results showed that the nebkhas had the highest surface shear strength (0.
