Thoracic aortic graft infections, anomalous arch anatomy, and vascular rings may cause tracheal and/or esophageal compression. These circumstances often create challenging clinical dilemmas such that anatomical repair either does not eliminate the pathologic process completely or poses a measurable risk of recurrence. We describe a novel approach that facilitates complete relocation of the thoracic aorta to either prevent graft placement in an infected field or prevent tracheal and/or esophageal compression that effectively converts left-sided to right-sided arch anatomy.

Objective: The aim of this study was to characterize the parameters of reproductive anatomy and pituitary hormone expression levels in ames dwarf mice ).
Materials And Methods: Male mice aged 30 days received daily intraperitoneal injections of recombinant human GH and levothyroxine three times weekly for 60 days. The sexual maturation of these animals was compared with that of their wild-type ( ) and untreated ( ) siblings.
Prenatal exposure to nitrate alters uterine morphology and gene expression in adult female F1 generation rats.

Objective: Nitrate is ubiquitously found in the environment and is one of the main components of nitrogen fertilizers. Previous studies have shown that nitrate disrupts the reproductive system in aquatic animals, but no study has evaluated the impact of nitrate exposure on the uterus in mammals. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of maternal exposure to nitrate during the prenatal period on uterine morphology and gene expression in adult female F1 rats.

Objective: To explore the anatomical and clinical factors that affect the radiographic exposure time in radial artery cerebral angiography and to establish a model.
Method: A total of 210 patients who underwent radial artery cerebral angiography at this center from September 2021 to May 2022 were selected, and their anatomical and clinical factors were analyzed to evaluate the correlation between these factors and the duration of radiographic exposure. A related neural network prediction model was established.
The effect of combined low-level nd: YAG laser with mesenchymal stem cells in the healing of diabetic wounds: an experimental study.

Although the role of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSC) in accelerating diabetic wound healing has been proven, their synergistic effect is still debated. This study aimed to evaluate the individual and combined effects of LLLT and hADSC on wound healing and on biomechanical parameters in type 2 diabetic rabbits. In this experimental study, 40 rabbits with type 2 diabetes (induced by streptozotocin (STZ)) were included.

Background: In the last two decades, robotic-assisted gastrectomy has become a widely adopted surgical option for gastric cancer (GC) treatment. Despite its popularity, postoperative complications can significantly deteriorate patient quality of life and prognosis. Therefore, identifying risk factors for these complications is crucial for early detection and intervention.
