Background: Laparoscopic surgery involves the establishment of a pneumoperitoneum, mostly using carbon dioxide. Cooling of the peritoneum, due to insufflation, may traumatize the peritoneum and disturb local biological processes. The current study was performed to assess the effect of the temperature of carbon dioxide on peritoneal transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) expression.
Design: Patients were randomized into 2 groups. In one group, a pneumoperitoneum was created with carbon dioxide at room temperature; in the other, with carbon dioxide at body temperature. Peritoneal biopsy specimens were taken at the start and end of surgery.
Setting: Community hospital.
Patients: Thirty patients scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Main Outcome Measures: Tissue concentrations of total and active TGF-β1 were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.
Results: At the start of surgery, there were no significant differences between groups in the total and active fractions of TGF-β1. At the end of the procedure, the peritoneal active TGF-β1 concentrations were significantly lower (P = .03) in patients receiving carbon dioxide at body temperature. In contrast, the concentrations of total TGF-β1 did not differ between groups. A slight, nonsignificant increase in total and active TGF-β1 levels was observed in patients receiving unheated carbon dioxide. The ratio of active to total TGF-β1 did not change during procedures, and there were no differences between groups.
Conclusions: Heating of carbon dioxide, used for insufflation, to body temperature decreases the expression of active TGF-β1 in the peritoneum. Considering the broad biological effects of TGF-β1, including the regulation of peritoneal healing and oncological processes, this observation might have clinical repercussions.

Background: We aimed to analyze the yet unclear correlation between air pollutant concentrations (AP) and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in Shenzhen, China.
Methods: A 5-year time series analysis of all OHCA events reported to the Shenzhen Emergency Center was conducted. Quasi-Poisson regression, controlling for meteorological variables (daily mean relative temperature and humidity) with multivariable fractional polynomial and using Fourier series to adjust for long-term trends and account for periodic patterns, was used to assess the association among particulate matter of 2.

Biomanufacturing offers a potentially sustainable alternative to deriving chemicals from fossil fuels. However, traditional biomanufacturing, which uses sugars as feedstocks, competes with food production and yields unfavourable land use changes, so more sustainable options are necessary. Cupriavidus necator is a chemolithoautotrophic bacterium capable of consuming carbon dioxide and hydrogen as sole carbon and energy sources, or formate as the source of both.

Environmental rules and regulations are essential instruments the government administration uses to control environmental problems in this era of advanced technologies and smooth economic growth. This paper aims to examine how environmental regulations, both mandatory and incentive-based, impact on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the presence of urbanization, foreign trade, economic growth and energy efficiency (EE) in logistics transportation. The influence of explicating factors on dependent variables, such as the highest, lowest, and mean, is estimated using the quantile regression model.
