Article Abstract
Purpose: We aimed to evaluate whether bronchial artery can supply a percutaneously inoculated canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT) in a lung tumor model.
Methods: Fresh CTVT tissue blocks were percutaneously inoculated into unilateral or bilateral lungs of six immunosuppressed dogs at the mid zone of the middle or lower lobe. Tumor growth was monitored by computed tomography (CT). Ten weeks after inoculation, pulmonary arterial digital subtraction angiography (DSA), bronchial arterial DSA, transpulmonary arterial contrast-enhanced multislice CT, transbronchial arterial contrast-enhanced multislice CT (BA-MSCT), and transpulmonary arterial lipiodol multislice CT were performed.
Results: Tumor growth was seen in all 10 inoculated sites, with a maximum diameter of 2.734±0.138 cm at 10th week. Bronchial arterial blood supply was evident in 9 nodules on DSA, and was equivocal in one which was later demonstrated on BA-MSCT. No obvious pulmonary arterial blood supply was observed in any of the nodules. Lipiodol deposition was displayed in two of the small distant metastases, which indicated that pulmonary artery was involved in the supply of the metastases.
Conclusion: Our results demonstrated bronchial arterial blood supply in this new lung cancer model. This model may be used in further research on transbronchial arterial intervention for lung cancer.

Lung long distance: histopathological changes in lung tissue after COVID-19 pneumonia.
Croat Med J
December 2024
Grgur Salai, University Hospital Dubrava, Avenija Gojka Šuška 6, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia,
Aim: To investigate histopathological changes in the lung tissue of long-COVID patients.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, transbronchial lung biopsy was performed in long-COVID patients with persisting symptoms and radiological abnormalities. Histopathologic analyses were performed by using hematoxylin-eosin, Martius, Scarlet and Blue, Movat's, thyroid transcription factor 1, CD34, and CD68 staining.
Robot-assisted right wedge-shaped sleeve lower bilobectomy with knotless suture anastomosis: a case report.

Department of Thoracic Surgery, Okazaki City Hospital, City, Okazaki, Aichi, 444-8553, Japan.
Background: In bronchoplasty of wedge resections, it is necessary to transect the bronchus at a sharp angle and depth. As a result, anastomoses after wedge resections have the disadvantages of poor visibility and operability. Here, we report a case of right wedge-shaped sleeve bilobectomy that was successfully performed with continuous knotless suturing using robotic assistance.

Anesthesiology, Surgical Intensive Care and Pain Medicine Department, Faculty of Medicine, Tanta University, Tanta, Egypt.
Background: One of the factors that affect the diagnostic yield of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is the level of sedation.
Objectives: Therefore, we aimed to compare dexmedetomidine (DEX) as moderate sedation (MS) versus general anesthesia (GA) on the diagnostic yield of EBUS-TBNA.
Methods: This randomized open-label controlled trial was carried out on 70 patients older than 18 years of age, classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) II or III, and scheduled for EBUS-TBNA.
A prospective observation study of the dynamic monitoring of transcutaneous arterial blood oxygen saturation and carbon dioxide during bronchoscopy.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the monitoring of oxygen and ventilation during bronchoscopy since sedatives can suppress breathing and create complications.
- Researchers included patients needing diagnostic procedures and used a transcutaneous blood gas monitor to track changes in carbon dioxide levels and oxygen saturation in real-time.
- The results showed high success in monitoring (96.6%) and indicated that the combination of midazolam and fentanyl led to more significant changes in carbon dioxide levels compared to midazolam alone.
Effectiveness of cardiopulmonary bypass for radical resection of giant middle mediastinal paraganglioma.

A non-functional middle mediastinal paraganglioma is a rare entity. We describe a case of a 67-year-old woman with a diagnosis of a big mediastinal paraganglioma by endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration after chest CT and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography. The nine centimeter in length tumor was located between the superior vena cava and the posterior portion of the ascending aorta, compressing the left atrium and the trachea and main left bronchus, posteriorly, surrounding the right pulmonary artery.
