Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common pediatric disease, with an increasing mortality rate in recent years. This study aims to explore the effects of lung recruitment on blood gas indexes, hemodynamics, lung compliance, and rehabilitation index in children with ARDS.
Methods: Seventy children with ARDS admitted to our hospital from December 2017 to December 2018 were selected as the study subjects, and were divided into a study group (35 cases, treated with lung recruitment strategy) and a control group (35 cases, treated with routine therapy). The changes of blood gas indexes, such as partial pressure of oxygen (PO), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO), and partial pressure of oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen (PO/FiO) levels, as well as hemodynamic indexes, including cardiac output (CO), heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), central venous pressure (CVP), were compared before and after treatment in the two groups.
Results: Results showed that the difference in blood gas indexes between the two groups was statistically significant after treatment (P<0.05), and that the levels of PaO, PaCO, pondus Hydrogenii (pH), and PO/FiO in the study group were all higher compared to the control group (P<0.05). The hemodynamic indexes showed that CO was significantly different between the two groups (P<0.05), but HR, MAP, and CVP were not (P>0.05). The lung compliance values of the two groups continued to increase at different time points after treatment (P<0.05), and the lung compliance of the study group was higher than that of the control group immediately after recruitment, as well as at 10 and 60 min of lung recruitment (P<0.05). In addition, the ventilator use, ICU stay, and hospital stay times of the study group were shorter than those in the control group (P<0.05), and the mortality rate of the study group was lower than that of the control group (P>0.05).
Conclusions: The lung recruitment strategy has a significant therapeutic effect on children with ARDS. It can effectively improve blood and gas function and lung compliance, and has a positive effect on the hemodynamic stability of children with ARDS.

Introduction: Accurate post-mortem interval (PMI) estimation is essential in forensic investigations. Although various methods for PMI determination have been developed, only an approximate estimation is still achievable, and an accurate PMI indication is still challenging. Therefore, in this study, we employed gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)-based metabolomics to assess post-mortem changes in porcine blood samples collected with and without the addition of anticoagulant (EDTA).

Background: In recent years, different approaches to implant-based breast reconstruction have increasingly become an important option to meet both the treatment and postoperative aesthetic needs of breast cancer patients. This study selected two commonly used techniques for the prepectoral approach: single-incision, gas-inflated endoscopic prepectoral breast reconstruction (SIE-BR) and open prepectoral implant-based breast reconstruction (C-BR), as well as a commonly used technique for the subpectoral approach: open subpectoral implant-based breast reconstruction (SI-BR). By comparing the clinical efficacy and aesthetic outcomes of these three techniques in the treatment of breast cancer patients, this study aims to summarize the advantages of the prepectoral approach.

The proper functioning of the respiratory system is evaluated by monitoring the exchange of blood oxygen and carbon dioxide. While wearable devices for monitoring both blood oxygen and carbon dioxide are emerging, wearable carbon dioxide monitors remain relatively rare. This paper introduces a novel wearable prototype that integrates the measurement of transcutaneous carbon dioxide and peripheral blood oxygen saturation on a miniaturized custom-designed printed circuit board.

Hydrogen sulfide (HS) gas therapygarners significant attention for its potential to improve outcomes in various disease treatments. The quantitative control of HS release is crucial for effective the rapeutic interventions; however, traditional researchon HS therapy frequently utilizes static release models and neglects the dynamic nature of blood flow. In this study, we propose a novel slow-release in-situ HS release model that leverages the dynamic hydrolysis of HS donorswithin the bloodstream.

Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is a rare congenital malformation that is characterized by the absence of a connection between a portion of the lung tissue and the tracheobronchial tree, with blood supply from arteries throughout the body. Abnormal lung tissue cannot perform the normal gas exchange function. In the absence of timely diagnosis and early intervention, some cases may need labor induction, and some of the infants who survive may develop symptoms in childhood.
