Background: Vascularization after rib fracture is a crucial physiological process that is essential for the repair and healing of the rib. Studies have shown that CD90 plays a critical role in regulating rib fracture healing, but the underlying mechanism of its role has not been fully elucidated.
Methods: CD90 adenovirus knockout mice were used to construct a rib injury model.
Simultaneous Minimally Invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting and Lung Resection.
Thorac Cardiovasc Surg
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effectiveness and safety of a simultaneous minimally invasive surgery for patients with both coronary artery disease (CAD) and lung cancer (LC).
- Sixteen patients were analyzed, and the procedure involved off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting and lung resection, with all patients successfully completing the surgery without any deaths or new heart attacks during the process.
- Complications were minimal, and while some patients faced issues like infections or bleeding, the overall outcome after follow-up indicated that the procedure is a promising option for selected patients with these coexisting conditions.
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) belong to a novel class of noncoding RNA that gained more attention in human cancer pathogenesis. The role of circRNA in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is largely unclear. Present investigation was to characterize new circRNAs regulating ESCC progression and explore the regulatory mechanisms in ESCC.
