ectopic pleural thymoma presenting as a giant mass in the Thoracic Cavity
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2007Co-Authors: Koji Yamazaki, Ichiro Yoshino, Tomofumi Yohena, Toshifumi Kameyama, Tetsuzo Tagawa, Daigo Kawano, Hidenori Koso, Yoshihiko MaeharaAbstract:We describe a rare case of a giant thymoma that developed in the right Thoracic Cavity, and seemed to originate from the visceral pleura. We believe that there have been few reports of thymoma developing from such an unusual origin.

BHI - The “music” within Thoracic Cavity using wavelet filtering
Proceedings of 2012 IEEE-EMBS International Conference on Biomedical and Health Informatics, 2012Co-Authors: Anake Pomprapa, David Schwaiberger, Burkhard Lachmann, Steffen LeonhardtAbstract:With the aid of computerized auscultation system, the sound within Thoracic Cavity can be acquired by an electronic commercial stethoscope and its energy density can be thoroughly analyzed based on a spectral-temporal domain. In this article, we use a Wavelet filter for de-noising the measured signal with underlying Gaussian noises before spectrogram analysis. Heart and lung sounds are of great interest for the evaluation in an aesthetic approach associated with piano notes.

a preliminary experimental study of boron neutron capture therapy for malignant tumors spreading in Thoracic Cavity
Japanese Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2007Co-Authors: Minoru Suzuki, Yoshinori Sakurai, Shinichiro Masunaga, Yuko Kinashi, Kenji Nagata, Akira MaruhashiAbstract:Background: The purpose of the present study is to verify the treatment effects of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) in ectopic tumors implanted in the Thoracic Cavity mimicking malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). Methods: The tumor model was created by implanting murine squamous cell carcinoma cells into the Thoracic Cavity. Mice were sorted into four groups: group I for non-treatment; group II for neutron irradiation; group III for g-ray irradiation; and group IV for BNCT irradiation. The antitumor effect was evaluated on the basis of the change in survival time. To assess the effects of BNCT on normal lung, non-tumor bearing mice were treated using the same method as done to the tumor-burdened mice. Results: The BNCT group had al onger survival time of 31 days (range 5260), which was significantly longer than that of the non-treated control group (P ¼ 0.011), but not significantly different from that of the neutron and g-ray groups (P ¼ 0.067 and 0.094, respectively). In the BNCT and neutron groups, incidence of minimal lung fibrosis was significantly higher compared with the non-treated control group (P ¼ 0.003 and 0.04, respectively). Conclusions: BNCT is a potentially promising treatment for malignant tumors spreading in the Thoracic Cavity such as MPM.

Comparison of the efficacy and safety of sapylin and sapylin plus cisplatine injected into Thoracic Cavity for treating malignant pleural effusion
Chinese Journal of Modern Drug Application, 2020Co-Authors: Luo Xiao-yuAbstract:Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sapylin and sapylin plus cisplatine injected into Thoracic Cavity for treating malignant pleural effusion.Methods After malignant pleural effusion was abstracted completely out by Thoracic Cavity closed drainage,64 patients with malignant pleural effusion were divided into two groups randomly: treatment group and control group.The treatment group was given saline(20 ml) and sapylin(5KE) and 2% lidocaine into Thoracic Cavity;the control group was given dexamethasone(10 mg) firstly,then saline(20 ml) and sapylin(5KM),at last saline(20 ml) and cisplatine(20 mg) and 2% lidocaine into Thoracic Cavity.Results The two groups had the similar treatment efficacy,but the safety and side effect in the treatment group was better than the control group.Conclusion Sapylin is used to cure malignant pleural effusion.The method is reliable,less side effect and less pain,and improves the quality of life.
