Case Reports[Bronchial adenoid cystic carcinoma masquerading as bronchial asthma: a case report].
Here we reported a case of bronchial adenoid cystic carcinoma from Peking University Third Hospital. A 40-year-old female presented with dry cough for 1 year and nocturnal paroxysmal attacks of wheezing for 4 months. She was a non-smoker, and did not have past histories of asthma or allergy. ⋯ Now, two years after the operation, the patient remained asymptomatic, and spirometry was performed again which showed normal completely. The presenting case report emphasizes the fact that not all wheezes and reversible airflow obstruction are asthma. It is critical to bear in mind that if a "difficult asthma" patient does not respond to appropriate anti-asthma therapy; localized obstructions should be differentiated.

[Role of aquaporin-4 in the change of interstitial fluid drainage in Alzheimer's disease].
To observe the characteristics of the interstitial fluid (ISF) drainage in the Alzheimer's disease (AD) rats through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tracer gadolinium-diethylene triamine pentacetic acid (Gd-DTPA)spread in the brain extracellular space (ECS) and to discuss the role of aquaporin-4 (Aqp4) in the AD. ⋯ The ISF drainage is slow after AD and the loss of Aqp4 in the AD makes the ISF drainage obviously slow down, Aqp4 plays an important role in AD to remove the metabolism of waste out of the brain.

[Application of anoptomagnetic probe Gd-DO3A-EA-FITC in imaging and analyzing the brain interstitial space].
To investigate the application of the optical magnetic bimodal molecular probe Gd-DO3A-ethylthiouret-fluorescein isothiocyanate (Gd -DO3A-EA-FITC) in brain tissue imaging and brain interstitial space (ISS). ⋯ Gd-DO3A-EA-FITC shows the same imaging results as the traditional GD-DTPA, and it can be used in measuring brain ISS.

Randomized Controlled Trial[Comparison of outcomes of two minimally invasive approaches for multi-vessel coronary revascularization].
To compare the safety and effectiveness of two minimally invasive approaches for multi-vessel coronary revascularization. ⋯ Staged-HCR is a feasible method for the treatment of multi-vessel revascularization involving right coronary artery. Minimally coronary revascularization with BITA is associated with superior long-term graft patency and it's recommended for patients who could not tolerate dual-antiplatelet therapy. This study shows that both minimally invasive surgical approaches are safe and effective for treatment of patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease.

[Effect of different anesthetic methods on postoperative outcomes in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery].
To investigate the effect of general or regional anesthesia on postoperative cardiopulmonary complications and inpatient mortality after hip fracture surgery in elderly patients. ⋯ General anesthesia may not affect the inpatient mortality after hip fracture surgery in elderly patients. Regional anesthesia is associated with a lower risk of pulmonary complications after surgical procedure compared with general anesthesia.
