Background: Day surgery has developed rapidly in China in recent years, although it still faces a shortage of anesthesiologists to handle pre-anesthesia routine before surgery. We hypothesized that ChatGPT may assist anesthesia practitioners in preoperative assessment and answer questions on the concerns of patients. The aims of this study were to examine the ability of ChatGPT to assess preoperative risk and determine its accuracy in answering questions regarding knowledge and management of day surgery anesthesia.

Article Synopsis
  • This study compares tissue damage and hidden blood loss (HBL) in two minimally invasive spinal procedures: unilateral biportal endoscopic lumbar discectomy (UBE) and percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy (PEID), focusing on identifying risk factors for HBL.
  • Conducted with 159 patients, results showed that the average HBL was significantly higher in the UBE group (431 ml) compared to the PEID group (328 ml), highlighting a notable difference in the two techniques.
  • Correlational analyses found that operation time was a consistent independent risk factor for HBL in both groups, with additional factors varying between the procedures, such as preoperative hematocrit in UBE and diabetes in PE

Objective To investigate the effects of Peiminine (PMI) on the proliferation, invasion, migration, apoptosis, and chemotherapy resistance of ovarian cancer by regulating the forkhead box protein O3 (FOXO3)-forkhead box transcription factor M1 (FOXM1) signaling axis. Methods Ovarian cancer cells SKOV3 and SKOV3/cisplatin (DDP) were used as research objects. The proliferation inhibition of DDP on SKOV3 and SKOV3/DDP cells and the proliferation inhibition of of PMI on SKOV3/DDP cells were detected by MTT method.

Primary pulmonary intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare malignant extranodal lymphoma, and it presents symptoms similar to those of lung diseases. Diagnosis of IVLBCL can be challenging and often requires histopathological examination of affected tissues. The present report describes a 65-year-old female patient presenting with a fever, without generalized lymph node enlargement.

Background: An association between dietary habits and lung disease has been demonstrated in previous studies. Employing Mendelian randomization, we aimed to explore how different dietary intakes relate to pneumothorax, shedding light on the interplay among gut flora, the lung-gut axis, and pneumothorax.

Methods: Employing both two-sample and multi-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses, we investigated 24 dietary intake variables to establish a strong association with pneumothorax.

Maternal dietary practices during pregnancy and obesity of neonates: a machine learning approach towards hierarchical and nested relationships in a Tibet Plateau cohort study.

Br J Nutr

September 2024

Nutrition and Health Promotion Center, Department of Public Health, Medical College, Qinghai University, Xining810008, People's Republic of China.

Article Synopsis
  • * The research involved a cohort of pregnant women to assess their dietary practices and the prevalence of obesity in their newborns, with findings showing 5.4% of neonates were obese.
  • * Key factors influencing neonatal obesity included increased fruit consumption and higher maternal education levels, indicating that promoting healthy diets and education can be effective in obesity prevention strategies.

Background And Objectives: Exosomes, which are small nanoscale vesicles capable of secretion, have garnered significant attention in recent years because of their therapeutic potential, particularly in the context of kidney diseases. Notably, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (hucMSC-Exos) are emerging as promising targeted therapies for renal conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effects of hucMSC-Exos on diabetic kidney disease (DKD) both in vivo and in vitro.

Article Synopsis
  • Gout is a common inflammatory arthritis linked to metabolic disorders, and the study aimed to explore its complex causes by analyzing urine metabolites using advanced mass spectrometry techniques.
  • Researchers examined urine samples from 26 acute gout patients, 31 chronic gout patients, and 32 healthy individuals to identify different metabolites and their significance.
  • The study identified 18 key metabolites associated with gout, particularly in purine and amino acid metabolism, suggesting potential biomarkers for diagnosis and insights into gout's underlying mechanisms for better prevention and treatment strategies.

Multidisciplinary team quality improves the survival outcomes of locally advanced rectal cancer patients: A post hoc analysis of the STELLAR trial.

Radiother Oncol

November 2024

State Key Laboratory of Molecular Oncology and Department of Radiation Oncology, National Cancer Center/National Clinical Research Center for Cancer/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS) and Peking Union Medical College (PUMC), Beijing, China; Department of Radiation Oncology, National Cancer Center/National Clinical Research Center for Cancer/Cancer Hospital & Shenzhen Hospital, CAMS and PUMC, Shenzhen, China. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to investigate how the quality of multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) affects the survival rates of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer who underwent surgery.
  • It analyzed data from the STELLAR trial, revealing that fewer specialized disciplines, infrequent meetings, and lower annual discussion volumes in MDTs were linked to poorer disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS).
  • Patients treated in hospitals with high-quality MDTs demonstrated significantly better 3-year OS compared to those in general quality hospitals, indicating that strong MDT frameworks can enhance patient outcomes.

Rationale: Postoperative bleeding after lobectomy is relatively rare. By analyzing and discussing the case history and management of hemorrhagic shock caused by chest tube removal after lobectomy, we can achieve the purpose of preventing postoperative bleeding after thoracic surgery and reducing postoperative complications, which can help avoid the risk of second surgery, shorten the patient's hospital stay, reduce the cost of medical care, and improve the patient's quality of life.

Patient Concerns: A case of bleeding from tube removal after lobectomy.
