Molecular regulation by HS of antioxidant and glucose metabolism in cold-sensitive Capsicum.

Background: Cold is an important environmental limiting factor affecting plant yield and quality. Capsicum (chili pepper), a tropical and subtropical vegetable crop, is extremely sensitive to cold. Although HS is an important signaling regulator in the responses of plant growth and development to abiotic stress, few studies have examined its effects on cold-sensitive capsicum varieties.

A novel method for right one-lung ventilation modeling in rabbits.

There is no standard method by which to establish a right one-lung ventilation (OLV) model in rabbits. In the present study, a novel method is proposed to compare with two other methods. After 0.

[Ketamine inhalation before one-lung ventilation for perioperative lung protection in thoracic surgery patients].

Objective: To explore the effects of ketamine inhalation before one-lung ventilation (OLV) in patients undergoing transthoracic esophagectomy for esophageal cancer.

Methods: Upon the approval of hospital ethic committee, 90 American Society of Anesthesiologists grade I-II patients scheduled for elective trans-left-thoracic esophagectomy for esophageal cancer were randomly and single-blindly divided into 3 groups. After intravenous anesthesia with double-lumen endobronchial intubation, the patients in each group received different therapies before OLV, i.

[Ridge regression analysis of pulmonary infection rate after transthoracic esophagectomy for esophageal cancer].

Objective: To identify the influencing factors of pulmonary infections after transthoracic esophagectomy for esophageal cancer.

Methods: A retrospective review of 349 patients undergoing transthoracic esophagectomy at our hospital for esophageal cancer was performed between January and December 2009. The postoperative pneumonia rate was examined and 26 perioperative factors possibly affecting the postoperative respiratory complications were collected.
