Delayed infected hematoma in retrosternal area following total thyroidectomy: a case report.

Introduction And Importance: Postoperative neck hematoma (PNH), a rare complication following thyroidectomy, occurs in only 1.1-3.15% of cases and can lead to life-threatening outcomes.

Ozone preconditioning protects rabbit heart against global ischemia-reperfusion injury in vitro by up-regulating HIF-1α.

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) is a major factor that leads to cardiac dysfunction in cardiovascular surgery during extracorporeal circulation. Recent studies have found that ozone (O) has protective effect on MIRI caused by the anterior descending branch of the ligated left coronary artery. However, whether O preconditioning has the same protective effect on global MIRI and the mechanism underlying this clinical treatment remains elusive.

Platelet-rich plasma combined with ozone prevents cartilage destruction and improves weight-bearing asymmetry in a surgery-induced osteoarthritis rabbit model.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative disease in older adults and its treatment remains unsatisfactory. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and explore the therapeutic mechanisms of the combination of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and ozone (O3) for knee OA.

Methods: Thirty male rabbits were randomly divided into five groups (Control group, OA group, PRP group, O3 group, and PRP + O3 group).
