A simple and rapid method for the extraction, reverse transcription and PCR amplification of RNA from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue is described. The procedure can be completed within 24 hours. In a first application of this method we detect human albumin mRNA in liver tissue, demonstrating the feasibility to retrospectively analyze gene expression and RNA viruses in fixed tissue.

The hexadehydro-Diels-Alder (HDDA) reaction is a cycloisomerization between a conjugated diyne and a tethered diynophile that generates -benzyne derivatives. Considerable fundamental understanding of aryne reactivity has resulted from this body of research. The multi-yne cycloisomerization substrate is typically pre-formed and the (rate-limiting) closure of this diyne/diynophile pair to produce the isomeric benzyne generally requires thermal input, often requiring reaction temperatures of >100 °C and times of 16-48 h to achieve near-full conversion.

Subcutaneous emphysema is a well-known complication of chest tube insertion that can become life-threatening. Severe cases often progress rapidly, necessitating prompt intervention to prevent complications such as airway obstruction and respiratory failure. We report the case of a 57-year-old man who developed extensive subcutaneous emphysema following chest tube insertion.

Background: Nutrition is a key factor limiting the rapid recovery of patients undergoing esophagectomy, but there is as yet no consensus on the optimal route of nutritional support. This study aimed to evaluate the potential benefits of laparoscopic jejunostomy (Lap-J) in comparison to conventional nasoenteral tube (NT) feeding in patients who underwent McKeown minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE).
Methods: A total of 577 consecutive patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who underwent McKeown MIE were included in this single-center retrospective study.

A digital-movie-based flow colorimetry for pH measurement using a universal indicator has been applied to the end point detection of acid-base titrations. A two-channel flow system of feedback-based flow ratiometry, primarily consisting of two peristaltic pumps, a digital microscope-based detector, and a laptop computer, was constructed; a Visual Basic.NET program written in-house was used for automating the analytical processes.
