Our findings provide a new approach for further analyses of pathogenetic mechanisms, the detection of novel transcripts, and the identification of valuable biomarkers for this tumor.
Our study was the first to describe the non-coding RNA profile of LC, and suggested that dysregulated non-coding RNAs could be involved in LC tumorigenesis.

Wound infections, especially multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections, are a major challenge in clinical medicine.
In this study, a new type of antibacterial sponge was prepared from a solution containing a chitosan-polyvinyl alcohol (CTS-PVA) emulsion with added polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride (PHMG) in a homogeneous medium using lyophilization technology. The antibacterial ability of and CTS-PVA/PHMG sponge against

-infected full-thickness mouse skin wound defect model. The effects were evaluated by wound area measurement and histological analysis.
The CTS-PVA/PHMG sponge showed broad-spectrum antibacterial ability, including for MDR bacterial stains from clinical sources, while maintaining excellent physicochemical properties, including a high swelling degree and good moisture retention capability. Scanning electron microscopy images displayed the surface morphology of the CTS-PVA/PHMG sponge dressing. The detection of the wound healing rate and histological analysis supported that the new dressing can alleviate the inflammation and accelerate the healing speed of infected wounds and

This study sought to compare the therapeutic effects of angiotensin II (ANG II) and norepinephrine (NE) on cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced septic acute kidney injury (AKI) in rats.
Sepsis shock was induced in anesthesia Sprague-Dawley male rats by CLP model for 24 hours. A total of 40 rats were divided into five groups, including control group, sham group, CLP group, CLP + ANG II group, and CLP + NE group. CLP + ANG II and CLP + NE group were administration of ANG II or NE after sepsis shock respectively, maintaining the MAP at 75-85 mmHg. CLP group was administration of saline for contrast. At 0, 18, 24 hours measured the renal blood grades and resistant index (RI) by ultrasound equipment. At 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours collected 0.5 mL blood sample for creatinine and lactic acid examination. Rats were observed for 24 hours after CLP procedure and then sacrificed for subsequent examination, rat serum were used to determine the levels of inflammatory response factors, kidney tissues were used to examine the oxidative stress factors and mitochondrial related proteins." We added the sentence as following "The AMPK, PGC-1α and NRF-2 expression in renal cortex was significantly increased in the CLP + ANG II group.
Compared to the vehicle treatment, both ANG II and NE administration restored the decrease in the mean arterial pressure (MAP) and alleviated mitochondrial impairments in CLP rats. However, only ANG II alleviated CLP-induced abnormalities in serum creatinine and lactic acid concentrations, renal blood flow, the renal resistant index, renal histopathology, the production of proinflammatory cytokines, and oxidative stress markers in rats. ANG II was also found to be superior to NE in reversing the CLP-induced suppression of mitochondrial biogenesis-related protein expression in the kidneys of rats.
ANG II was better than NE in alleviating CLP-induced septic AKI in rats.

Personalized three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction can help surgeons to overcome technical challenges and variations of pulmonary anatomic structures in the performance of uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (UVATS), thus improving the safety and efficacy of the procedure. This study aims to evaluate the utility of preoperative 3D-CT bronchography and angiography (3D-CTBA) with Exoview software in the assessment of anatomical variations of pulmonary vessels, and to analyze short-term surgical outcomes in patients undergoing UVATS lobectomy.
We retrospectively analyzed the data of 198 consecutive patients who underwent curative UVATS lobectomy between November 2019 and September 2020. The patients were divided into an "Exoview" group (n=53) and a "non-Exoview" group (n=145). We performed 11 propensity score matching and compared intraoperative and postoperative outcomes between the two groups. A subgroup analysis of 74 patients who underwent single-direction uniportal lobectomy was also conductesonalized preoperative 3D-CT bronchography and angiography helped to clearly visualize the pulmonary anatomical structures and could contribute to the safe and efficient performance of UVATS anatomical lobectomy.
Studies have shown that the ability of the myocardium to tolerate ischemia becomes significantly compromised with age. During ischemia, several endogenous protective signals are activated to protect the heart from injury, among which extracellular-signal regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 signaling has been established as playing a pivotal role. However, in aging hearts, the activation of ERK1/2 is compromised. Mitogen-activated protein kinase/ERK kinase (MEK) is a major regulator of ERK1/2 signaling. In the present study, we investigated whether transduction of CaMEK, a constitutively activated MEK, using adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9) could protect the aging heart against ischemia.
Myocardial ischemia models were established in aging mice and senescent cardiomyocytes, and AAV9-mediated delivery of CaMEK was applied. Echocardiography, fluorescent staining, transmission electron microscopy, flow cytometry, and immunoblotting were used to explore the effects of CaMEK and their underlying mechanism.
AAV9-CaMEK activated ERK1/2 signaling and exerted cardioprotective effects against ischemia in aging hearts.
