We report a patient who sustained catastrophic pulmonary fat embolism, during open reduction, internal fixation (ORIF) of fracture femur. In our opinion, the use of percutaneous cardiopulmonary support with (PCPS), saved the patient from certain death.

Association of oxidative balance score with the risk of all-cause and CVD mortality in younger US adults with diabetes.
Sci Rep

School of Medicine, Nankai University, Tianjin, China.
Oxidative balance score (OBS) is a composite measures that assess the balance between pro-oxidant and antioxidant factors in an individual's diet and lifestyle, with higher scores indicating greater antioxidant exposure. Despite its potential significance, there is a limited body of research exploring the relationship between OBS and all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality specifically in younger patients with diabetes. We aimed to investigate the possible relationship between OBS and all-cause and CVD mortality in younger patients with diabetes.

In the health risk assessment of pesticides, methods for external exposure assessment have been well developed. However, quantifying the contribution of various exposure pathways or routes to internal dose remains challenging. This study introduced the internal allocation factor (IAF) for 319 pesticides to investigate the impact of different exposure pathways and routes on chemical distribution within the human body.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is strongly correlated with obesity, partially due to the abnormal expansion of abdominal perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT). Cell death-inducing DNA fragmentation factor-like effector C (CIDEC), also known as fat-specific protein 27 (FSP27) in rodents, is specifically expressed in adipose tissue where it mediates lipid droplet fusion and adipose tissue expansion. Whether and how CIDEC/FSP27 plays a role in AAA pathology remains elusive.

SHOC2 is a scaffold protein that activates the RAS-MAPK signal. Our recent study showed that SHOC2 is also a negative regulator of the mTORC1 signal in lung cancer cells. Whether and how SHOC2 differentially regulates the RAS-MAPK vs.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a syndrome characterized by increased pulmonary vascular resistance and elevated pulmonary artery pressure, ultimately leading to right heart failure and even death. Increasing evidence implicates the fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) in various metabolic and inflammatory pathways; however, its role in pulmonary endothelial function and PAH remains largely unexplored. In this study, we examined the effects of endothelial cell-specific FTO knockout on PAH development.
