The Relationship Between PM2.5 and Eight Common Lung Diseases: A Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Analysis.

Air pollutants have both acute and chronic impacts on human health, affecting multiple systems and organs. While PM2.5 exposure is commonly assumed to be strongly associated with all respiratory diseases, this relationship has not been systematically analyzed.

Primary tracheal hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma with EWSR1 rearrangement: A case report.

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Refractory Cardiogenic Shock.

Background: Many clinicians do not know under what exact conditions extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can get the best results. In this study, we explored the optimal indications for ECMO in patients with refractory cardiogenic shock.

Methods: From October 2014 to November 2019, 23 patients with refractory cardiogenic shock were treated with ECMO in our hospital, including 11 cases with acute left anterior myocardial infarction, 3 with acute left inferior and right ventricular myocardial infarction, and 9 with fulminant myocarditis.
