Article Abstract

Lung injury caused by chemical gas inhalation is a common clinically severe disease that very easily progresses to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Traditional respiratory support consists mainly of mechanical ventilation, but the prognosis of this condition is still poor. "Awake" extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) maintains oxygenation, improves ventilation, adequately allows the injured lungs to rest, and avoids complications associated with sedation, intubation, and mechanical ventilation. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) can provide better fluid management and reduce pulmonary edema. Herein, we describe the case of a patient with severe chemical gas inhalation lung injury who failed to respond to traditional mechanical ventilation and was subsequently treated with awake ECMO combined with CRRT.

Early-stage cancer diagnosis is considered a grand challenge, and even though advanced analytical assays have been established through molecular biology techniques, there are still clinical limitations. For example, low concentration of target biomarkers at early stages of cancer, background values from the healthy cells, individual variation, and factors like DNA mutations, remain the limiting factor in early cancer detection. Volatile organic compound (VOC) biomarkers in exhaled breath are produced during cancer cell metabolism, and therefore may present a promising way to diagnose cancer at the early stage since they can be detected both rapidly and non-invasively.

The decontamination of chemical warfare agents or compounds involved in chemical industry incidents poses a significant challenge to environmental protection and human health. These compounds are highly toxic and could be relatively resistant to conventional decontamination methods. In recent years, surfactants have emerged as a promising option, as they can enhance the solubility of organophosphorus compounds in aqueous solutions while promoting their degradation or adsorption onto surfaces.

The research team established a quantitative H NMR method to determine the relative ethoxy content (EO%) in ethylcellulose using a CDCl/TFA-d solvent mixture. High-field NMR spectroscopy enabled direct measurement without the use of internal or external calibrants by integrating the methyl proton signals (δ 1.15 ppm) and the methylene/methine proton signals (δ 2.

On-site accurate and real-time monitoring of trace chemical warfare agents is a critical component of national security surveillance. In this study, a photoionization-induced chemical ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry is developed for the detection of trace gaseous chemical warfare agents under ambient conditions. Firstly, a benzene-toluene-xylene mixture standard gas is utilized to optimize the instrument parameters, followed by screening of dopants for chemical warfare agents detection, with methanol ultimately identified as the optimal dopant.
