Effectiveness and Safety of Superimposed High-Frequency Jet Ventilation in Rigid Bronchoscopy: A Single-Center, Retrospective Study.

Superimposed high-frequency jet ventilation (SHFJV) is a new type of jet ventilation, but its safety and effectiveness in rigid bronchoscopy have not been fully verified, especially in patients with airway stenosis and preoperative cardiovascular disease. This study is intended to retrospectively analyze the effectiveness and safety of SHFJV in the endobronchial treatment under rigid bronchoscopy. A total of 363 patients were included in this study.

A multidimensional model incorporating radiomics score and liquid biopsy for the prediction of malignant and benign pulmonary nodules.

Background: As the lesions in pulmonary nodules (PNs) are small and the clinical manifestations lack specificity, the etiology of PNs is complex, predisposing them to misdiagnoses missed diagnoses. Thus, the diagnosis and treatment of PNs remains challenging and an important clinical problem.

Methods: This study prospectively enrolled 156 patients with computed tomography (CT)-diagnosed PNs who underwent circulating genetically abnormal cell (CAC) testing between January 2020 and December 2021.

extract alleviates hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance, and alters autophagy and gut microbiota diversity in mouse models of high-fat diet-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major global health concern with increasing prevalence, with a lack of currently available effective treatment options; thus, the investigation of novel therapeutic approaches is necessary. The study aimed to investigate the outcomes and mechanisms of action of extract (FDE) in a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced mouse model of obesity. The findings showed that FDE supplementation attenuated glucose tolerance, insulin resistance (IR), hepatic steatosis, and abnormal lipid metabolism.
