Background: Laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (LaTME) and transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) are popular mid and low rectal cancer trends. However, there is currently no systematic comparison between LaTME and TaTME of mid and low rectal cancer. Therefore, we systematically study the perioperative and pathological outcomes of LaTME and TaTME in mid and low rectal cancer.

Considering regional differences in economic development, the activity level of smoldering Chinese kangs was confirmed by surveys in typical areas in Lanzhou City. An emissions inventory of smoldering Chinese kangs in Lanzhou City in 2016 was established using the emissions factor approach. The emissions amounts of SO, NO, NH, CO, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), PM, PM, organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) were 340.

Article Synopsis
  • Glutathione (GSH) helps protect the liver from the toxic effects of Microcystin-LR (MCLR) by reducing oxidative stress and facilitating the conjugation of the toxin.
  • Research indicates that GSH conjugation is an effective method for regulating MCLR toxicity, though GSH alone has a limited impact on MCLR's harmful effects.
  • The study found that while both direct and indirect pathways of GSH regulation can lower reactive oxygen species levels, the indirect pathway plays a more critical role in mitigating cellular damage and enhancing the detoxification process.

Objective: To study the relation of expression change of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), angiotensin II (Ang II), and endothelin-1 (ET-1), and the effect of imidapril on myocardial hypertrophy due to overload.

Methods: Sixty-three rats were randomly divided into four groups: sham operation (n=15), overload group (n=16), imidapril group (n=16), and Caweidiluo group (n=16). Hypertrophic myocardium was reproduced in rats by constricting abdominal aorta.
