Research progress of tourniquets and their application in the Russia-Ukraine Conflict.

Against the backdrop of the Russia-Ukraine Conflict in 2022, this article reviews the characteristics of traumatic hemorrhage in modern warfare spanning the past century. It investigates several types of tourniquets used by the Russian and Ukrainian armed forces, including limb tourniquets and junctional tourniquets recommended by the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care, tourniquets employed by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, and those used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Russia-Ukraine Conflict. The analysis is conducted from perspectives, including the structure, usage methods, and limitations of different tourniquets.

Long-segment common carotid occlusion presenting with limb-shaking transient ischemic attack: Case report.

Background: Limb-shaking transient ischemic attack (LS-TIA) is a rare manifestation of carotid artery occlusion. Common carotid artery occlusion (CCAO) is a relatively rare condition, and both its natural history and recommendations for treatment are still unclear.

Case Description: A 67-year-old female suffered from transient episodes of unilateral limb shaking.

LncRNA FGF7-5 and lncRNA GLRX3 together inhibits the formation of carotid plaque via regulating the miR-2681-5p/ERCC4 axis in atherosclerosis.

Atherosclerotic plaques belong to the common vascular disease in the aged, which rupture will lead to acute thromboembolic diseases, the leading cause of fatal cardiovascular events. Accumulating evidence indicates that the lncRNAs-miRNAs-mRNA regulatory network plays a critical role in atherosclerosis. Based on RNA sequencing (GSE207252), we constructed expression profiles of lncRNAs, microRNAs, and mRNA in the carotid plaque of atherosclerosis patients and analyzed differentially expressed genes (DEGs).

Treatment of inadvertent cervical arterial catheterization: Single-center experience.

Objectives: Inadvertent arterial catheterization can occur during transjugular central venous catheter insertion and should be promptly treated to prevent serious consequences. Although many treatment modalities are available, no exist guidelines regarding the selection of treatment. We aimed to describe our experience with the treatment of 11 patients who underwent inadvertent cervical arterial catheterization and propose an algorithm for the selection of treatment methods.

Biphasic effects of autophagy on decompression bubble-induced endothelial injury.

Endothelial dysfunction induced by bubbles plays an important role in decompression sickness (DCS), but the mechanism of which has not been clear. The present study was to investigate the role of autophagy in bubble-induced endothelial injury. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were treated with bubbles, autophagy markers and endothelial injury indices were determined, and relationship strengths were quantified.
