Objective: To evaluate a new method to plan the incisions of thoracic surgical operation with robot using three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction techniques.
Methods: Three-dimensional reconstruction techniques were used to reconstruct the chest CT of patients with the software OSIRIX (APPLE®). Tumor location, size and relationship with the vein and artery were unambiguously obtained. The location of the incision was predetermined prior to the surgery. The operation time, set up time and work time were evaluated to assess the efficacy of this preplanning methodology.
Results: A total of 4 cases are reported here. Tumors of different homogeneities were assessed, located in a 3D mode, and preplanned incisions successfully made to perform the procedure. This resulted in overall reduction of operation time and also provided effective visualization of the tumor during surgery.
Conclusion: Our results suggest that this method can show the location of tumor, help in planning of appropriate incisions and define 3D anatomical relationships.

Background: The best multimodal approach for resectable locally advanced esophageal adenocarcinoma is unclear. An important question is whether perioperative chemotherapy is preferable to preoperative chemoradiotherapy.
Methods: In this phase 3, multicenter, randomized trial, we assigned in a 1:1 ratio patients with resectable esophageal adenocarcinoma to receive perioperative chemotherapy with FLOT (fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and docetaxel) plus surgery or preoperative chemoradiotherapy (radiotherapy at a dose of 41.
Cardiac allograft tolerance can be achieved in nonhuman primates by donor bone marrow and kidney cotransplantation.

Long-term, immunosuppression-free allograft survival has been induced in human and nonhuman primate (NHP) kidney recipients after nonmyeloablative conditioning and donor bone marrow transplantation (DBMT), resulting in transient mixed hematopoietic chimerism. However, the same strategy has consistently failed in NHP heart transplant recipients. Here, we investigated whether long-term heart allograft survival could be achieved by cotransplanting kidneys from the same donor.

Background: Rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) is widely used for point-of-care coagulation testing to reduce blood transfusions. Accurate interpretation of ROTEM data is crucial and requires substantial training. This study investigates the inter- and intrarater reliability of ROTEM interpretation among experts and compares their interpretations with a ROTEM-guided algorithm.

Aim: This study aimed to identify the genes associated with the development of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and potential therapeutic targets.
Methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified by self-transcriptome sequencing of tumor tissues and paracancerous tissues resected during surgery and combined with The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data to screen for the genes associated with LUAD prognosis. The expression was validated at mRNA and protein levels, and the gene knockdown was used to examine the impact and underlying mechanisms on lung cancer cells.
