Lung cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide, and the main effective treatment is surgical operation to cure this disease. This study assessed the feasibility of surgical aerosol for identification of lung cancer and adjacent normal tissue in surgery. In vitro experiments, the surgical aerosol was released when the tissue sample was being cut using a standard electrosurgery handpiece. Surgical smoke was dissolved in methanol by negative-pressure suction and then get to the neutral sprayer for analysis. Multivariate analysis was performed using partial least squares (PLS) analysis in MatLab 2011. A total of 208 surgical aerosol database entries were obtained from 26 patients. In the cancerous aerosol, relative abundance (760.61, 782.39, and 789.68 m/z) was increased, while relative abundances of (756.41 m/z) was decreased compared with normal-tissue aerosol. After PLS analysis, mass-spectrometry (MS) data for the cancer aerosol showed clear differentiation from normal. Four significant peaks were identified by collision-induced dissociation experiments. The cancerous aerosol showed overexpression of phosphatidylserine (34:2), phosphatidylcholine (36:4), and triacylglycerol (46:2), while phosphatidylcholine (34:3) was decreased. Coupling PLS and extractiveelectrospray-ionization MS analysis of the surgical aerosol data of lung cancer were clearly distinguished from normal. The surgical aerosol might contain biomarkers for identification of lung cancer and normal tissue.

This study developed a portable arc iKnife ionization mass spectrometry (AII-MS) technique integrating a surgical knife with low-temperature arc plasma to interact with plant tissues. The thermal energy from the arc plasma induces the sputtering of water-containing plant tissues, leading to the formation of aerosols. These aerosols are then charged by plasma-generated ions, producing charged microdroplets that are ultimately detected by a mass spectrometer.

Despite the incremental improvement of survival with systemic therapy in metastatic gastric cancer (GC), the outcomes of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) remain poor. The limited effectiveness of systemic therapy is attributed to the blood-peritoneal barrier and anarchic intra-tumoral circulation, which reduce the penetration of systemic therapy. Approaches that incorporate intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy, in addition to systemic therapies, may be a viable alternate strategy.

: Since 2011, Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) has emerged as a promising treatment option for patients with peritoneal surface malignancies (PSM) who are not eligible for cytoreductive surgery (CRS). Repeated minimal-invasive treatment is one of the key features and the current empirical standard treatment (ST) consists of at least three administrations over about three months. However, many patients are unable to complete the full course, limiting the potential benefits of PIPAC.

Background: Peristomal pyoderma gangrenosum (PPG) is a non-infectious neutrophilic dermatosis most commonly seen in the context of ostomies in inflammatory bowel disease. The lack of established treatment guidelines and high-quality evidence in the form of randomized controlled trials present a major challenge in PPG management, owing to the rarity of the condition. Treatment can be further complicated by difficulties in maintaining the stoma pouch seal with conventional topical corticosteroids.

BACKGROUND Butorphanol, an opioid receptor agonist and antagonist, is widely used for post-cesarean section analgesia in the form of intravenous or intramuscular injection, but nasal sprays are less used. This study aimed to evaluate the analgesic effect of butorphanol nasal spray on uterine contraction pain after cesarean section and explore its effect on postpartum prolactin secretion. MATERIAL AND METHODS We randomly divided 120 patients scheduled for cesarean section into 3 groups (40 per group): intranasal saline (control), butorphanol intranasal (BI), and butorphanol pumped intravenously (BV).
