In a group of 12 patients suffering from reversible airways obstruction, lung function data and serum levels were studied before and after rectal application of a combination of methyl-xanthines (400 mh theophylline, 600 mg diprophylline, 600 mg proxyphylline). The follow-up over a period of 10 hours showed an immediate bronchodilator effect of the mixture within 30 minutes to 1 hour; bronchodilation was still detectable after an interval of 10 hours. The improvement in lung function correlated with the serum levels. No side effects were noted after rectal administration of the drugs.

Background: Robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) is more precise and flexible than video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. This study compared the early postoperative functional recovery of patients who underwent triportal RATS with that of patients who underwent uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (UVATS) for segmentectomy.

Methods: This observational, prospective study included 172 patients with clinical stage I or II peripheral NSCLC who underwent RATS or UVATS segmentectomy.

Fatigue is common among adults with cystic fibrosis (awCF) and may be associated with systemic inflammation. This study examines systemic inflammation, measured by C-reactive protein (CRP), and fatigue, assessed using the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R) vitality domain, in individuals initiating elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) therapy. In a cohort of 61 awCF from St.

Purpose: We developed software that can analyze central lung distance (CLD) and central skin distance (CSD) in deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) irradiation and verified the reproducibility of the DIBH irradiation method in our hospital.

Methods: CLD and CSD were analyzed using In-house software using cine images acquired during treatment; intra- or inter-fractional motion was calculated from the obtained data and compared with other reports using systematic error (ΔΣ) and random error (Δσ).

Results: The ΔΣ and Δσ were 1.

A Mannosylated peptidyl lipid CManDA doped into cytidinyl/cationic lipids efficiently delivers siG12Ss to lung cancer in vivo.

Gene therapy has attracted widespread attention in recent years, and one of the important delivery systems is the LNP. However, many LNPs have potential toxicity and accumulate in the liver. Here, we designed and synthesized a Gemini-type mannosylated peptidyl lipid called CManDA(M), which, in combination with the cytidinyl lipid DNCA(D) and the peptidyl lipid CLD(C) (D/50C/50 M), could transfect siRNA (siG12S) into A549 cells to target and silence the KRAS gene.
