Role of Neuroimmune Interactions in COVID-19-related Cardiovascular Damage
AbstractCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused a global pandemic impacting over 200 countries/regions and more than 200 million patients worldwide. Among the infected patients, there is a high prevalence of COVID-19-related cardiovascular injuries. However, the specific mechanisms linking cardiovascular damage and COVID-19 remain unclear. The COVID-19 pandemic also has exacerbated the mental health burden of humans. Considering the close association between neuroimmune interactions and cardiovascular disease, this review assessed the complex pathophysiological mechanisms connecting neuroimmune interactions and card...

Correlation between Surface Area Ratio of Medial to Lateral Tibial Plateau and Knee Alignment in Adults
ConclusionThe surface area ratio of MTP to LTP was correlated with the mTFA. Within a certain range, the smaller the mTFA, the greater the surface area ratio of MTP to LTP. For patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty, of whom the surface area of the MTP was basically equal to that of the LTP, it is recommended that the osteotomy should be performed in accordance with mechanical alignment standards, and that a symmetrical tibial plateau prosthesis should be used. For patients whose surface area of MTP is significantly greater than that of the LTP, it is recommended that the osteotomy should be performed in accordance wi...

Chemotherapy-Induced Myelosuppression in Esophageal Cancer Patients: Risks and Suggestions for Its Management
ConclusionTargeted preventive interventions that enhance immune function, reduce uric acid levels and choose combined medication during chemotherapy should be implemented for high-risk patients to reduce the occurrence of myelosuppression. In addition, the dose of lobaplatin should be adjusted when combined with other chemotherapy drugs to reduce the incidence of myelosuppression.

Impact of Coronary Artery Anatomy in Arterial Switch Operation: In-hospital and Post-discharge Outcomes
ConclusionASO remains the procedure of choice for TGA with coronary anomalies with acceptable in-hospital and post-discharge outcomes in terms of overall survival and freedom of reoperation. However, intramural coronary artery is an independent risk factor for post-discharge mortality. Timely surgery within the 1st year of life helps improve overall midterm survival of ASO.
