Objective: To discuss the application value of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in treatment of esophageal leiomyoma.
Method: Clinical data of patients with esophageal leiomyoma treated by VATS from January 1999 to August 2007 were analyzed.
Results: VATS esophageal leiomyoma enucleations were performed successfully in 23 patients, and 18 patients of them were performed by pure VATS, 5 patients of them were performed with mini-thoracotomy.

Article Synopsis
- Scientists wanted to see if using a special virus to deliver a gene called hIL-10 into transplanted lungs could help protect them from damage.
- They did tests on 56 male rats, dividing them into four groups with different treatments, including one group that received the hIL-10 gene.
- Results showed that the group with hIL-10 had better lung function and less damage compared to the other groups.
Background & Objective: It is still very difficult to make a definite diagnosis for some mediastinal diseases through some examinations, such as CT scan and fibrobronchoscopy. To judge the metastasis of mediastinal lymph nodes exactly for lung cancer patients and make proper staging of lung cancer are important for defining therapeutic schedule and estimating prognosis. This study was to explore the application value and summarize the experience of mediastinoscopy in the diagnosis of mediastinal diseases and the staging of lung cancer with enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes.
