Background: Coagulopathy and inflammatory response are the intractable complication during Sun's procedure for type A aortic dissection (AAD). This study aims to investigate the efficacy of autologous platelet rich plasma (aPRP) on the patients undergoing Sun's procedure under moderate hypothermia.
Methods: A total of 372 AAD patients who underwent Sun's procedure under moderate hypothermia were divided into aPRP group (aPRP was separated before heparinization and transfused after protamine neutralization) and Non-aPRP group (without aPRP apheresis). Preoperative characteristics, intraoperative data, postoperative outcomes, and perioperative laboratory reports were collected and analyzed.
Results: The operation time (301.1 ± 21.3 vs. 318.1 ± 29.9, < 0.001), postoperative ventilation time [25.3[19.2, 37.0] vs. 31.9[25.4, 43.1], < 0.001] and cardiac intensive care unit stay [4.8[3.5, 7.9] vs. 8.7[4.9,11.2], < 0.001] in aPRP group were significantly shorter than that in Non-aPRP group. Intraoperative blood loss (637.2 ± 24.9 vs. 908.4 ± 51.0, < 0.001), transfusion of allogeneic blood products (PLT: 2.11 ± 1.03 vs. 2.52 ± 0.83, < 0.001; Plasma: 405.6 ± 55.6 vs. 421.0 ± 61.7, 0.012; Cryoprecipitate: 9.7 ± 2.4 vs. 10.4 ± 1.9, 0.002; RBC: 422.7 ± 64.9 vs. 479.2 ± 81.0, < 0.001) and the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (8.2% vs. 16.2%, = 0.027) were reduced in aPRP group. The costs of both blood products (9,202.2 ± 1,597.4 vs. 10,031.9 ± 3,471.8, = 0.003) and the total hospitalization (243.5 ± 33.1 vs. 297.6 ± 43.5, < 0.001) were decreased in aPRP group. Furthermore, intraoperative and postoperative levels of C-reactive protein and Interleukin-6 ( < 0.001) in aPRP group were lower than that in Non-aPRP group. There was no significant difference in renal, cerebral complications and hospital stay between the two groups.
Conclusion: Application of aPRP in Sun's procedure reduced the perioperative blood loss and allogeneic blood transfusion, contributed to the decreased postoperative pulmonary complications and shortened intensive care unit duration. Apheresis and re-infusion of aPRP in Sun's procedure alleviated postoperative inflammation to a certain degree and was a desirable approach for AAD patients.

Background: Comprehensive documentation on consecutive years of mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS) in children is lacking. This study aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the clinical profiles of MERS in children across different age groups, focusing on pathogens and recovery time.
Methods: In this retrospective study, 43 patients diagnosed with MERS were enrolled between December 2017 and November 2021.

Background: Evolutionary-developmental theories propose that early life adversity (ELA) shapes mating patterns. However, evidence is mixed, and the extent to which ELA influences attitudes and perceptions remains underexplored. This research takes a dimensional approach to examine how different forms of ELA relate to mating outcomes and social perceptions in men across two distinct samples.

Background: Vortioxetine hydrobromide is a widely prescribed medication for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), primarily exerting its antidepressant effects by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin (5-HT).The objective of this study was to investigate adverse events (AEs) associated with vortioxetine hydrobromide through data mining in the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) to enhance clinical safety.
Methods: We collected FAERS data from Q3 2013 to Q1 2024 for data cleansing.
Effective conservation of endangered species necessitates not only the preservation of core habitats but also the enhancement of landscape connectivity. As a critically endangered Crocodylia, the Chinese alligator () strongly relies on the fragmented wetland habitat of the lower area of the Yangtze River. The integrity of its habitat needs evaluating, and the connectivity restoring plan needs designing.

Segmental long bone defects present a significant clinical challenge as critical-size defects cannot heal spontaneously. Most studies focus on adult bone defects, with limited research on pediatric cases. To enhance the study of bone defects in children, we established a juvenile sheep bone defect model.
