Diagnostic Value of Multidetector CT and Its Multiplanar Reformation, Volume Rendering and Virtual Bronchoscopy Postprocessing Techniques for Primary Trachea and Main Bronchus Tumors

PLoS ONE, 2015
Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic value of multidetector CT (MDCT) and its multiplanar reformation (MPR), volume rendering (VR) and virtual bronchoscopy (VB) postprocessing techniques for primary trachea and main bronchus tumors.

Muscle‐Derived Small Extracellular Vesicles Mediate Exercise‐Induced Cognitive Protection in Chronic Cerebral Hypoperfusion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
sEVs have a critical role in orchestrating interorgan crosstalk and mediating exercise‐induced therapeutic effects. Lin et al. demonstrates that sEVs miR‐17/20a‐5p mediates the muscle‐brain crosstalk and emphasizes the central role of mTOR signaling in executing molecular programs that can protect brain health in response to exercise.

Difficulty in inserting left double-lumen endobronchial tubes at the cricoid level in small-statured women: A retrospective study

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2017
Background and Aims: Left double-lumen endobronchial tube (DLT) sizes are selected using tracheal diameters and left mainstem bronchial diameters (LMBDs) determined from chest radiographs or computed tomography (CT) scans.

Label-Free Segmentation of COVID-19 Lesions in Lung CT [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Scarcity of annotated images hampers the building of automated solution for reliable COVID-19 diagnosis and evaluation from CT. To alleviate the burden of data annotation, we herein present a label-free approach for segmenting COVID-19 lesions in CT via pixel-level anomaly modeling that mines out the relevant knowledge from normal CT lung scans.

Differentiable Topology-Preserved Distance Transform for Pulmonary Airway Segmentation [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Detailed pulmonary airway segmentation is a clinically important task for endobronchial intervention and treatment of peripheral located lung cancer lesions. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are promising tools for medical image analysis but have been performing poorly for cases when existing a significant imbalanced feature distribution, which is ...

Blood vessels and their construction in the cavities of pulmonary tuberculosis [PDF]

, 1958
First of all, we investigated the origin, the construction and distribution of the bronchial arteries and veins in adult rabbits, and then observed various changes of the blood vessels in experimental cavities and caseous foci and also studied the ...

Injectable pH Responsive Conductive Hydrogel for Intelligent Delivery of Metformin and Exosomes to Enhance Cardiac Repair after Myocardial Ischemia‐Reperfusion Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Injectable pH responsive conductive hydrogel for intelligent delivery of metformin and exosomes to alleviate myocardial ischemia‐reperfusion injury. The hydrogel responds to the weakly acidic microenvironment of ischemic injury and can significantly reduce the production of intracellular ROS and enhance cardiac conduction, thereby resisting apoptosis ...

Primary tracheal schwannoma: Bronchoscopic management of a rare tracheal tumour

Respirology Case Reports
Primary tracheal tumours are extremely rare, that originate from Schwann cells. We report a case of a primary tracheal schwannoma. A 60‐year‐old male who presented with noisy breathing, shortness of breath, and blood streaked phlegm. Chest CT scan showed

Inhibition of RACK1‐Mediated NLRP3 Oligomerization (Active Conformation) Ameliorates Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Schematic diagram showing the potential mechanism of bigelovin on the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome Bigelovin may inhibit activated protein C kinase 1 (RACK1) by directly binding with cys168 of RACK1. Bigelovin thus prevents oligomerization of NLRP3 (NLRP3 active conformation) and subsequent assembly of NLRP3 inflammasome, blocking the activation of
