The selection of different examination sequences of painless gastroscopy in patients with difficult airway risk was explored in this study. A total of 45 patients undergoing painless gastroscopy with Mallampati airway score of III-IV were randomly assigned into two groups (A group and B group) according to the sequence of colonoscopy and gastroscopy. Group A was first examined by gastroscopy after anesthesia, and then by colonoscopy. Group B was examined in the opposite order, first by colonoscopy, and then by gastroscopy...

The fourth element of chain-of-survival contains advanced life support and post-resuscitation treatment. Both treatment options influence the outcome of patients suffering cardiac arrest. Advanced life support includes all interventions that require special medical equipment and expertise. High-quality chest compressions and early defibrillation (if indicated) compose the main elements of advanced life support. Clarifying and treating the cause of cardiac arrest have also high priority, in which point-of-care ultrasound plays an important role...

An elevation in serum phosphate-also called hyperphosphatemia-is associated with reduced kidney function in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Reports show CKD patients are more likely to develop lung disease and have poorer kidney function that positively correlates with pulmonary obstruction. However, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Here, we report that two murine models of CKD, which both exhibit increased serum levels of phosphate and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 23, a regulator of phosphate homeostasis, develop concomitant airway inflammation...

Accumulating evidences demonstrate that long-term exposure to atmospheric fine particles and air pollutants elevates the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Cadmium (Cd) is one of the important toxic substances in atmospheric fine particles and air pollutants. In this study, we aimed to establish a mouse model to evaluate whether respiratory Cd exposure induces COPD-like lung injury. Adult male C57BL/6 mice were exposed to CdCl2 (10 mg/L, 4 h per day) by inhaling aerosol for either 10 weeks (short-term) or 6 months (long-term)...

Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a genetic disorder, characterized by panacinar emphysema mainly in the lower lobes, and predisposes to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at a younger age, especially in patients with concomitant cigarette smoking. Alpha-1 antitrypsin (a1-AT) is a serine protease inhibitor that mainly blocks neutrophil elastase and maintains protease/antiprotease balance in the lung and AATD is caused by mutations in the SERPINA1 gene that encodes a1-AT protein. PiZZ is the most common genotype associated with severe AATD, leading to reduced circulating levels of a1-AT...

Acute lung injury (ALI) or its severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening illness without effective therapeutic interventions currently. Multiple lines of evidence indicated that overwhelming inflammatory responses and impaired epithelial barrier contributed to the pathogenesis of ALI/ARDS. Recently, dopamine (DA) system was identified to participate in various pulmonary diseases. Here, we discovered that dopamine D1-like receptors mainly expressed in macrophages and airway epithelial cells (AECs), which were downregulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge in ALI mouse lung...

Athletes often experience lower airway dysfunction, such as asthma and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB), which affects more than half the athletes in some sports, not least in endurance sports. Symptoms include coughing, wheezing, and breathlessness, alongside airway narrowing, hyperresponsiveness, and inflammation. Early diagnosis and management are essential. Not only because untreated or poorly managed asthma and EIB potentially affects competition performance and training, but also because untreated airway inflammation can result in airway epithelial damage, remodeling, and fibrosis...

The use of noninvasive respiratory support is widespread in newborn infants with respiratory distress. As the use of noninvasive respiratory support has increased, so too have the number of modes available. Among these modes, low-flow nasal cannula and nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) have been used for a long time and have known efficacy and safety in newborn infants needing respiratory support. High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) has been newly introduced, and its efficacy and safety are currently being investigated...

Nowadays, the diagnosis and treatment of COPD are often based on the results of lung function tests. Certain individuals, however, are not candidates for lung function testing due to pulmonary bullae, cardiac failure, low lung function, and other factors. Therefore, we evaluated whether serum tyrosine3-monooxygenase/tryptophan5-monooxygenase activation protein β (14-3-3β) could be a biomarker for the diagnosis of stable COPD patients. The expression of serum 14-3-3β protein was evaluated by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay...

Emergency airway management requires matching the appropriate intubation tools to anticipated obstacles. Video laryngoscopy and flexible endoscopy are often used for difficult airways. Here we describe a case where neither method alone was anticipated to be sufficient. A 53-year-old female with an obstructing lung mass required intubation for a mixed type 1 and 2 respiratory failure. Chest x-ray revealed a tortuous subglottic obstruction. The patient could not be temporized on maximized non-invasive airway support...
