The article deals with the first comparative study of haemodynamics, gas exchange, and metabolic lung finction in patients with underlying respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Different anaesthesia and ventilation (conventional AVL, OLV differentiated ALV) techniques were used. Respiratory support methodology with the use of HFV or CPAP during the main phase of thoracic surgery in patients with severe associated cardio-respiratory diseases was developed. Indications for differentiated AL V in thoracic surgery were developed.

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality among women worldwide, with bone being the most common site of all metastatic breast cancer. Bone metastases are often associated with pain and skeletal-related events (SREs), indicating poor prognosis and poor quality of life. Most current therapies for breast cancer bone metastasis primarily serve palliative purposes, focusing on pain management, mitigating the risk of bone-related complications, and inhibiting tumor progression.

Spinal cord trauma leads to the destruction of the highly organized cytoarchitecture that carries information along the axis of the spinal column. Currently, there are no clinically accepted strategies that can help regenerate severed axons after spinal cord injury (SCI). Hydrogels are soft biomaterials with high water content that are widely used as scaffolds to interface with the central nervous system (CNS).

As an important carrier of intercellular information transmission, exosomes regulate the physiological and pathological state of local or distant cells by carrying a variety of signal molecules such as microRNAs (miRNAs). Current research indicates that exosomes and miRNAs can serve as biomarkers and therapeutic targets for a variety of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). This narrative review summarizes the research progress of exosomes and their miRNAs in CVDs, particularly in pulmonary valve diseases (PVDs), and, for the first time, explores their potential associations with transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR).

The receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE), a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, is expressed in various cell types and mediates cellular responses to a wide range of ligands. The activation of RAGE triggers complex signaling pathways that drive inflammatory, oxidative, and proliferative responses, which are increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of skin diseases. Despite its well-established roles in conditions such as diabetes, cancer, and chronic inflammation, the contribution of RAGE to skin pathologies remains underexplored.

Trauma causes the breakdown of membrane phospholipids and the subsequent degradation of the released polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to partially bioactive oxylipins. Here, we screened for circulating PUFAs and oxylipins in patients (n = 34) differing from those of uninjured controls (n = 25) and analyzed their diagnostic potential. Patients were followed up for 1 to 240 h after minor/moderate, severe, and very severe injuries.
