Enhancing Earth data analysis in 5G satellite networks: A novel lightweight approach integrating improved deep learning.

Efficiently handling huge data amounts and enabling processing-intensive applications to run in faraway areas simultaneously is the ultimate objective of 5G networks. Currently, in order to distribute computing tasks, ongoing studies are exploring the incorporation of fog-cloud servers onto satellites, presenting a promising solution to enhance connectivity in remote areas. Nevertheless, analyzing the copious amounts of data produced by scattered sensors remains a challenging endeavor.

Effect of pre-use of Dexmedetomidine on the effective inhibitory dose of remimazolam tosilate on positive cardiovascular response in double-lumen endobronchial intubation: a clinical study.

Background: Herein, the effect of pre-use of Dexmedetomidine(Dex) on the half-effective dose (ED50) and 95%-effective dose (ED95) of Remimazolam tosilate(RT) in inhibiting the positive cardiovascular response(CR) which means blood pressure or heart rate rises above a critical threshold induced by double-lumen bronchial intubation was evaluated.

Methods: Patients who underwent video-assisted thoracic surgery were divided into groups A (0), B (0.5 µg/kg), and C (1 µg/kg) based on different Dex doses.

Transcriptome analysis of novel macrophage M1-related biomarkers and potential therapeutic agents in ischemia-reperfusion injury after lung transplantation based on the WGCNA and CIBERSORT algorithms.

Lung transplantation is the last effective treatment for end-stage respiratory failure, however, with ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) inevitably occurring in postoperative period. IRI is the major pathophysiologic mechanism of primary graft dysfunction, a severe complication that contributes to prolonged length of stay and overall mortality. The understanding of pathophysiology and etiology remain limited and the underlying molecular mechanism, as well as novel diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets, urgently require exploration.

F-Florzolotau Positron Emission Tomography Imaging of Tau Pathology in the Living Brains of Patients with Corticobasal Syndrome.

Background: Recent development in tau-sensitive tracers has sparkled significant interest in tracking tauopathies using positron emission tomography (PET) biomarkers. However, the ability of F-florzolotau PET imaging to topographically characterize tau pathology in corticobasal syndrome (CBS) remains unclear. Further, the question as to whether disease-level differences exist with other neurodegenerative tauopathies is still unanswered.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support for lung transplantation: Initial experience in a single center in China and a literature review.

Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a versatile tool associated with favorable outcomes in the field of lung transplantation (LTx). Here, the clinical outcomes and complications of patients who underwent LTx with ECMO support, mainly prophylactically both intraoperatively and post-operatively, in a single center in China are reviewed.

Methods: The study cohort included all consecutive patients who underwent LTx between January 2020 and January 2022.

Central venous catheterization site choice based on anatomical landmark technique: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Internal jugular vein catheterization (IJVC) and subclavian vein catheterization (SCVC) have been the most preferred central venous catheterizations (CVC) clinically. Individual preference and institutional routine dominate the traditional CVC choice; however, it is lack of high-level evidence. We sought to provide better clinical strategy for CVC site choice based on anatomical landmark technique between IJVC and SCVC.

Modified double lumen tube for a unique bronchial and carinal resection in a patient undergoing uniportal VATS for tumour: A case report.

For bronchial sleeve and carinal resection and reconstruction during uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), ventilation technique remains a demanding challenge for the anesthesiologists. The ventilation techniques require maintaining adequate gas exchange while providing a good surgical exposure. The case we present was a 58-year-old female with carcinoma in the right upper lobe involving the right main bronchus and the lower trachea.

Pulmonary carcinosarcoma: analysis from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database.

Objectives: Pulmonary carcinosarcoma (PCS) is a rare neoplasm. This study explored the clinicopathological characteristics and survival outcomes of PCS.

Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database (1988-2014) was queried for PCS.

Airway Management of the Right Anterior Segmentectomy through Uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) after left pneumonectomy by an adapted double-lumen endobronchial tube (DLT): a case report.

Background: Lung resection after previous contralateral pneumonectomy is rare. We present a case of right anterior segmentectomy despite previous left pneumonectomy, demanding special airway management strategy.

Case Presentation: A 48-year-old woman who had left pneumonectomy 2 years ago was scheduled to have the right anterior segmentectomy through uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS).

Behavior of primary tracheal glomus tumor, uncertain malignant potential subtype.

The behavior of the pathological subtypes of tracheal glomus tumor (benign, uncertain malignant potential UMP, malignant) is vague. In a 51-year-old gentleman, suffering from cough for 4 months, computed tomography scan showed a mass at lower third of the trachea and the bronchoscope revealed exophytic mass at the tracheal lumen. Segmental tracheal resection was done using special modified endotracheal tube for the distal lung ventilation.

Thoracoscopic tracheal resection and reconstruction using two ports approach.

Tracheal resection and anastomosis for benign and malignant tracheal disease are a well-described procedure. Intra-thoracic tracheal lesions used to be addressed through sternotomy, thoracotomy, or via combined techniques. In the recent decade, minimal invasive surgical techniques have become an innovative trend in treatment of surgical thoracic conditions.

Extracellular histones are clinically relevant mediators in the pathogenesis of acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Background: Extracellular histones were recently identified as an inflammatory mediator involved in the pathogenesis of various organ injuries. This study aimed to examine extracellular histone levels and their clinical implications in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients and to explore histone-mediated effects through ex-vivo investigations.

Methods: Extracellular histones, cytokine profiles and clinical data from 96 ARDS patients and 30 healthy volunteers were obtained.

A novel LC-MS/MS method for mepivacaine determination and pharmacokinetic study in a single-dose two-period crossover in healthy subjects.

The objective of this work was to develop a simple, selective, and sensitive LC-MS/MS method for the quantitation of the mepivacaine in Chinese biological matrix. The calibration curve of mepivacaine ranged from 0.5 to 2000 ng/mL with the lower limit of quantitation being 0.

Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration for diagnosing mediastinal lymphadenectasis: a cohort study from a single center.

Objective: Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is commonly used for clinical diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenectasis. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic significance of EBUS-TBNA for mediastinal lymphadenectasis in a large single center.

Methods: A total of 846 patients who were not definitively diagnosed with mediastinal lymphadenectasis underwent EBUS-TBNA were retrospectively analyzed in this study.

[Clinical observation on therapeutic effects of mild moxibustion in superficial gastritis patients with spleen-stomach deficiency-cold pattern].

Objective: To observe the curative effect of different duration of mild moxibustion in superficial gastritis patients with deficiency cold pattern of spleen and stomach.

Methods: A total of 84 superficial gastritis patients were randomly divided into moxibustion-20 min group, moxibustion-40 min group and medication (Ranitidine) group, with 28 cases in each group. Mild moxibustion was applied to bilateral Zusanli (ST 36) and Zhongwan (CV 12, odd days), Pishu (BL 20) and Weishu (BL 21, even-numbered days) for 20 min and 40 min respectively, once daily for 20 days.
