AI Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to assess the impact of patient mutual-help respiratory function training on lung cancer patients' postoperative outcomes, focusing on pulmonary infections and immune function.
- The research involved 116 surgical lung cancer patients split into two groups: one receiving standard care and the other engaging in mutual-help respiratory training. Results showed significantly lower rates of pulmonary infection and improved pulmonary function in the training group compared to the control group.
- Additionally, immune function responses indicated that the training group had greater improvements in certain immune factors post-surgery, suggesting that this training method contributes to better overall recovery after lung cancer surgery.
Article Abstract
Objective: This study explored the effect of respiratory function training under the mode of mutual-help of patients to the postoperative pulmonary infection and immune function on lung cancer.
Methods: 116 lung cancer patients who received surgical treatment from June 2018 to June 2019 were enrolled as the object. Patients were categorized into a control or observation group, according to the admission time of patients. Each group contained 58 subjects. The control-group was given regular nursing intervention, and the observation-group received respiratory function training under the mode of mutual assist between patients. Subsequently, the postoperative pulmonary infection, pulmonary function, and the changes of immune function before and after surgery were compared between the two groups.
Result: The pulmonary infection rate of the group for observation was much lower than that of the control-group. The difference was statistically significant (5.17%, 17.24%, = 0.0394). The postoperative pulmonary function indexes in the observation-group were conspicuously better than those in control-group, the difference was statistically conspicuous (P<0.05). After nursing intervention, the cellular immune factors TNF-α, IL-8, and IL-6 of the two groups were conspicuously lower than those before the nursing intervention, and the decrease in the observation-group was remarkably greater than that in control-group, with the difference of statistical significance (P<0.05). In addition, the T cell subsets CD4 and CD4/CD8 in the observation-group were conspicuously higher than those in the control-group. CD8 in the observation-group was conspicuously lower than that in the group of control, with statistical significance (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The respiratory function training under the mode of mutual-assist of patients can effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary infection, improve the postoperative pulmonary function index, and improve the immune function, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Department of Thoracic Surgery, the Second Hospital of Jilin University, Changchun, China.
Objective: The efficacy and safety of transcervical inflatable mediastinoscopic esophagectomy (TIME) in the treatment of esophageal cancer are unclear. The objective of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TIME treatment for esophageal cancer and to compare it with thoracoscopic assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (TAMIE) for the treatment of esophageal cancer.
Methods: A literature search was performed using PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library to retrieve articles published up to January 2024 to comparatively assess studies of TIME and TAMIE.

Background And Aims: Primary lung tumors (PLTs) in children are rare, and surgery remains the key to ensure remission. Here we describe the PLTs clinical characteristics, their management, and the pulmonary outcome following surgery.
Methods: We carried out a French national cohort of pediatric PLTs from 2013 to 2023 from the FRACTURE rare pediatric tumors national database.

Background: We seek to study whether early initiation of renal replacement therapy (RRT) could reduce 90-day mortality and improve clinical outcomes in patients with acute kidney injury following acute type A aortic dissection.
Methods: This is a single-center, randomized, controlled trial that enrolled acute type A aortic dissection patients with severe post-operative acute kidney injury (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) stage 2) and with plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin level > 150 ng/mL who did not have potentially life-threatening complications directly related to renal failure. Patients were randomized equally into two groups: the early RRT group received RRT within 6 hours of diagnosis of KDIGO stage 2; the standard treatment group was managed with RRT initiated within 8 hours of stage 3.

Background: Patients with pulmonary subsolid nodules (SSNs) ≤ 2 cm in diameter and a consolidation-to-tumor ratio (CTR) ≤ 0.25 have good postoperative prognoses, but their management remains controversial.
Research Question: Does upfront surgical intervention lead to higher survival than watchful waiting in patients with SSNs diameter ≤ 2 cm and CTR ≤ 0.
