Does exogenous surfactant attenuate lung injury from gastric-acid aspiration during ex vivo reconditioning in pigs?
Local surfactant infusion immediately before EVLP improved the function of donor lungs injured by gastric juice aspiration. This strategy may hold promise for decreasing the shortage of donor lungs.
Our study verified that advanced stage, high preoperative NLR (NLR ≥ 1.7), and old age (≥ 70 years) are significant, independent prognostic factor for overall survival in patients with gastric cancer.
