Objective: To evaluate the protective effect of target-directed fluid therapy on the lungs and postoperative rehabilitation in elderly patients with single-lung ventilation undergoing total endoscopic radical resection of esophageal cancer.
Methods: Seventy elderly patients who underwent total endoscopic radical resection of esophageal cancer from January 2017 to December 2019 in our hospital were selected and divided into two groups by the random number table method: the goal-directed fluid treatment group (group , = 35) and the control group (group , = 35). Venous blood was extracted before surgery (1), at the end of free esophagus (2) by thoracoscopy, at the end of abdominal surgery (3), and at the end of surgery (4). IL-6 and IL-10 levels were detected by ELISA. The clinical pulmonary infection score (CIPS) was used to evaluate the pulmonary inflammation on the second day after surgery and the occurrence of complications. Duration of antibiotic use and length of hospital stay were recorded.
Results: At 1, there were no significant differences in IL-6 and IL-10 levels between the two groups ( > 0.05). At 2, the IL-6 level in group increased to 26.65 ± 1.80 pg/ml but was significantly lower than that in group (32.28 ± 3.22 pg/ml) ( < 0.01). At 3 and 4, IL-6 and IL-10 levels in group were significantly lower than those in group ( < 0.01). The CIPS score of group was lower than that of group (1.5 ± 1.0 vs 2.7 ± 1.4), and the duration of antibiotic use in group was shorter than that in group (211.2 ± 15.4 vs 232.6 ± 18.7 h), with statistical significance ( < 0.01). The incidence of complications in group was lower than that in group C (28.6% vs 40.0%), and the length of hospital stay in group was shorter than that in group C (10.5 ± 1.7 vs 11.2 ± 1.9 days), but there was no significant difference between the two groups ( > 0.05).
Conclusion: Target-directed fluid therapy inhibited inflammatory cytokine levels and had better lung protection, but no significant benefit in the complications or the length of hospital stay was observed.

Objectives: Despite the advances in medicine, aortic dissection remains a cardiac surgery emergency with high mortality and morbidity rates. This study examined the effects of the Glue + Felt technique, which uses biological glue and felt to repair the proximal anastomotic site, on the outcomes of patients with acute type A aortic dissection.
Methods: A total of 108 patients who underwent surgery for acute type A aortic dissection at our clinic between 2007 and 2020 were included in the study.

Background: Artificial sweeteners (AS) have been widely utilized in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries for decades. While numerous publications have suggested a potential link between AS and diseases, particularly cancer, controversy still surrounds this issue. This study aims to investigate the association between AS consumption and cancer risk.

Primary immunodeficiencies (PID), now often referred to as inborn errors of immunity (IEI), are a large heterogeneous group of disorders that result from deficiencies in immune system development and/or function. IEIs can be broadly classified as disorders of adaptive immunity (e.g.

Background: Discussing Advance Care Planning (ACP) with people living with dementia (PwD) is challenging due to topic sensitivity, fluctuating mental capacity and symptom of forgetfulness. Given communication difficulties, the preferences and expectations expressed in any ACP may reflect family and healthcare professional perspectives rather than the PwD. Starting discussions early in the disease trajectory may avoid this, but many PwD may not be ready at this point for such discussions.

Background: The blended learning (BL) approach to training health care professionals is increasingly adopted in many countries because of high costs and disruption to service delivery in the light of severe human resource shortage in low resource settings. The Covid-19 pandemic increased the urgency to identify alternatives to traditional face-to-face (f2f) education approach. A four-day f2f antenatal care (ANC) and postnatal care (PNC) continuous professional development course (CPD) was repackaged into a 3-part BL course; (1) self-directed learning (16 h) (2) facilitated virtual sessions (2.
