Article Abstract
To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of using endoscopic low-temperature plasma radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for treatment of laryngeal plexiform neurofibromatosis-1 (NF-1). An infant diagnosed as laryngeal plexiform NF-1 based on a detailed medical history, as well as physical, laboratory, and pathological examinations, was treated under general anesthesia with low-temperature plasma RFA in combination with a self-retaining laryngoscope and high definition camera system.The laryngeal plexiform NF-1 tumor was successfully excised using endoscopic low-temperature plasma RFA without complications. Following surgery, the infant displayed an uneventful recovery and no disease recurrence during a 2-year follow-up period. low-temperature plasma RFA is a feasible and effective method for treating laryngeal plexiform NF-1, and has advantages of producing minimal bleeding, providing complete removal of the tumor, and causing only slight degrees of trauma and postoperative tissue reaction.

Background: Haemorrhage is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in trauma, and prehospital transfusion of blood products is often necessary. Whole blood has been proposed to be the best alternative, but it is unclear whether, and how, storage and transport of the blood in a helicopter affects the blood units. We investigated the coagulation capacity and platelet function in whole blood at different time points during helicopter missions.

Objective: To develop a rapid, convenient, accurate, and low-residual-effect ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method for the determination of polymyxin B sulfate and colistin sulfate in the blood of patients with multidrug-resistant bacterial infections, as well as caspofungin acetate in the blood of patients with fungal infections, thus facilitating the rational use of antibiotics in clinical applications.
Methods: All analytes were diluted with 0.2 % aqueous formic acid, and plasma proteins were precipitated using acetonitrile.

An original plasma assisted vapor phase route is proposed for the low-temperature fabrication of supported NiO nanostructures on conductive glasses. The sole deposition time variation enables to tailor material properties, modulating, in turn, the system wettability and functional performances in the photodegradation of recalcitrant pollutants.

This review focused on mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), a powerful tool in food analysis, covering its ion source schemes and procedures and their applications in food quality, safety, and nutrition to provide detailed insights into these aspects. The review presented a detailed introduction to both commonly used and emerging ionization sources, including nanoparticle laser desorption/ionization (NPs-LDI), air flow-assisted ionization (AFAI), desorption ionization with through-hole alumina membrane (DIUTHAME), plasma-assisted laser desorption ionization (PALDI), and low-temperature plasma (LTP). In the MSI process, particular emphasis was placed on quantitative MSI (QMSI) and super-resolution algorithms.

Calcium ions (Ca) are important second messengers and are known to participate in cold signal transduction. In the current study, we characterized a Ca-binding protein gene, VamCP1, from the extremely cold-tolerant grape species Vitis amurensis. VamCP1 expression varied among organs but was highest in leaves following cold treatment, peaking 24 h after treatment onset.
