Background: Many studies have shown that preconditioning with anesthetics can be used to simulate the myocardial protective effects of ischemic preconditioning. But it is still not certain whether they can protect the myocardium in hemorrhagic shock. This study was designed to examine the myocardial protective effects of propofol and fentanyl in acute hemorrhagic shock.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-six white rabbits were randomly divided into a control group (group C), propofol preconditioning group (group P), and fentanyl preconditioning group (group F). The animal model of acute hemorrhagic shock was established according to Wigger's method. The same volumes of saline, propofol (5 mg/kg), or fentanyl (25 microg/kg) were administered 15 min before bleeding. Left ventricular function parameters were monitored continuously during 90 min of hemorrhagic shock. Serum cardiac troponin I (cTn-I) was detected by chemiluminescence before bleeding and 60 and 90 min after bleeding. Myocardial samples were taken for morphological studies.
Results: Compared with group C, the hemodynamic indexes in group F and group P were higher at each time point of shock (P < 0.05). The cTn-I values in group P and group F were lower than in group C (P < 0.05). Electron microscopic examination of the myocardium indicated that the alterations of myocardial structure and mitochondria were less pronounced in both group F and group P.
Conclusions: Propofol and fentanyl preconditioning can protect the heart against acute ischemia and promote the recovery of hemodynamics during hemorrhagic shock.

Background: There is still a significant proportion of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in whom multiple therapeutic lines are ineffective. These cases are defined by the EULAR criteria as Difficult-to-Treat RA (D2T-RA) for which there is limited knowledge of predisposing factors.
Objective: To identify the clinical features associated with D2T-RA in real-life practice.

Background: Delta large-channel endoscopy and unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) are prominent minimally invasive techniques for treating lumbar spinal stenosis, known for minimal tissue damage, clear visualization, and quick recovery. However, rigorous controlled research comparing these procedures is scarce, necessitating further investigation into their respective complications and long-term effectiveness. This randomized controlled trial aims to compare their perioperative outcomes, focusing on postoperative recovery and complications over time.

Background: Synthesis of organic@inorganic hNFs is achieved by the coordination of organic compounds containing amine, amide, and diol groups with bivalent metals. The use of bio-extracts containing these functional groups instead of expensive organic inputs such as DNA, enzymes, and protein creates advantages in terms of cost and applicability. In this study, the application potentials (antioxidant, antibacterial, anticancer, guaiacol, anionic, and cationic dye degradation) of hybrid (organic@inorganic) nanoflowers (hNFs) synthesized with Cu and snakeskin (SSS) were proposed.

Background: Individuals with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) have a high risk of active infection, morbidity and mortality. Healthcare workers are a group who have increased risk of infection and onward transmission to their patients and other susceptible individuals; however, LTBI is often undiagnosed, and individuals are asymptomatic. Interferon gamma release assays (IGRA) can detect evidence of TB infection in otherwise asymptomatic individuals and are a good indication of LTBI.
