Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to validate the effectiveness of a non-invasive zero-heat-flux thermometer for monitoring core temperatures in surgical patients to prevent perioperative hypothermia.
  • The study involved 103 adults undergoing major non-cardiac surgeries, comparing the zero-heat-flux thermometer's readings with traditional methods like infrared tympanic and oesophageal monitoring at regular intervals.
  • Results showed that the zero-heat-flux thermometer had high precision, with a mean difference of only -0.03°C compared to the reference measurements, and it effectively detected hypothermia with 82% sensitivity and 90% specificity.

Osteogenesis imperfecta is a rare genetic syndrome caused by mutations of bone matrix protein type I collagen coding genes, which is characterized by increased bone fragility and recurrent fractures. We report a patient undergoing general anesthesia with additional nerve block for wrist and hip fracture repair. Preoperatively, we were confronted with an inadvertent severe hypertension without significant triggers and history, which prompted us to be vigilant for hypertensive emergencies due to the fragile vessel regulation capacity in osteogenesis imperfecta patients.

Improving angiogenic capacity under hypoxic conditions is essential for improving the survival of skin grafts, as they often lack the necessary blood supply. The stable expression levels of hypoxia‑inducible factor‑1α (HIF‑1α) in the nucleus directly affect the downstream vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathway and regulate angiogenesis in a hypoxic environment. Astragaloside IV (AS‑IV), an active component isolated from , has multiple biological effects including antioxidant and anti‑diabetic effects, and the ability to provide protection from cardiovascular damage.

Treating mid- and forefoot wounds is challenging. We share our clinical experience and describe the treatment of foreand midfoot wounds by grafting pedicled distal peroneal artery perforator (PNAP) flaps. The study enrolled 21 patients with fore- and midfoot injuries, who underwent grafting with a pedicled distal PNAP flap between August 2013 and May 2016.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of early angioplasty within 12 h and selective angioplasty 1 week later after successful thrombolysis in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Methods: A total of 224 patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction who received thrombolysis with reteplase were randomly assigned to an early percutaneous coronary intervention (E-PCI) group or a selective PCI (S-PCI) group. Patients assigned to the E-PCI group received PCI within 12 h after randomization, and patients assigned to the S-PCI group received PCI 1 week later after randomization.

Objective: Little is known about serum concentrations of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), MMP-2, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 in diabetic patients with foot ulcers. This study demonstrates their relationship with wound healing.

Methods: Ninety-four patients with diabetic foot ulcers were recruited in the study.
