Objective: To investigate the effect of Brucea javanica Oil combined with chemotherapy on serum cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1 (CYFRA21-1), immune mechanism, and prognosis in patients with lung cancer and provide a reference for its clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Methods: This study involved 112 lung cancer patients from June 2019 to January 2022 at Shanghai Guanghua Hospital. They were randomly divided into two groups: control (chemotherapy only) and observation (chemotherapy + Brucea javanica oil emulsion).

Virtual reality (VR) provides a unique opportunity to simulate various environments, enabling the observation of human behavior in a manner that closely resembles real-world scenarios. This study aimed to explore the effects of anticipating reward or punishment, personality traits, and physiological arousal on risky decision-making within a VR context. A custom VR game was developed to simulate real-life experiences.

Respiratory diseases represent a significant healthcare burden, as evidenced by the devastating impact of COVID-19. Biophysical models offer the possibility to anticipate system behavior and provide insights into physiological functions, advancements which are comparatively and notably nascent when it comes to pulmonary mechanics research. In this context, an Inverse Finite Element Analysis (IFEA) pipeline is developed to construct the first continuously ventilated three-dimensional structurally representative pulmonary model informed by both organ- and tissue-level breathing experiments from a cadaveric human lung.

Background: KRAS inhibitors are revolutionizing the treatment of NSCLC, but clinico-genomic determinants of treatment efficacy warrant continued exploration.
Methods: Patients with advanced KRASG12C-mutant NSCLC treated with adagrasib (KRYSTAL-1-NCT03785249) were included in the analysis. Pre-treatment NGS data were collected per protocol.

The purpose of this work is to evaluate the feasibility of lung imaging using 3D electrical impedance tomography (EIT) during spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs) in patients with acute hypoxic respiratory failure. EIT is a noninvasive, nonionizing, real-time functional imaging technique, suitable for bedside monitoring in critically ill patients. EIT data were collected in 24 mechanically ventilated patients immediately preceding and during a SBT on two rows of 16 electrodes using a simultaneous multicurrent source EIT system for 3D imaging.
