Article Synopsis
- Microplastics can enter the human body through breathing, raising health concerns, especially with increased mask usage during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- A study involving 113 college students found the highest concentration of microplastics in the nasal lavage fluid of those wearing surgical masks.
- Results indicated that wearing surgical masks increased microplastic abundance in the nasal fluid, and longer wear times correlated with higher levels, while bedding with synthetic fibers reduced microplastic levels.
Purpose:: To evaluate the possibility of using peripheral-blood presurfactant protein B (Pro-SFTPB) for screening non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods:: A total of 873 healthy volunteers and 165 lung cancer patients hospitalized in the Fifth People's Hospital of Dalian were tested Pro-SFTPB once every half year from January 2014 to September 2015. The healthy volunteers were also conducted spiral computed tomography (CT) examination once every year.

Background: IIIb-T(4) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is commonly considered a contraindication to surgery, although chemo-radiotherapy also achieves a poor survival rate. We reviewed our experience with T(4) NSCLC patients who underwent surgery to explore the indications and prognostic factors of surgical treatment of lung cancer invading the left atrium and great vessels.
Methods: We investigated a cohort of 105 patients, 79 men and 26 women, who underwent surgery from May 1996 to July 2008.
Objective: To explore the clinical manifestations and treatment of pulmonary sequestration.
Methods: Thirty-five patients with pulmonary sequestration confirmed by pathological studies were analyzed.
Results: Among these patients, 29 were of intralobar type and 6 of extralobar type.
