Genetic risk score (GRS) is used for evaluating the effects of genetic susceptible factors in risk prediction models.Five methods are commonly used for GRS:i.e.simple count genetic risk score (SC-GRS),odds ratio weighted genetic risk score (OR-GRS),direct logistic regression genetic risk score (DL-GRS),polygenic genetic risk score (PG-GRS) and explained variance weighted genetic risk score (EV-GRS).This paper summarizes the models,application conditions,advantages and limitations of the five methods.The complexity of prediction models increased along with the inclusion of more susceptible SNPs,some method have been developed to solve the problems,but the effects of new methods needs further evaluation.

Objective:To explore the chest drainage effect of use different diameter thoracic drainage tube after biportal thoracoscopic radical resection for lung cancer.Methods:300 patients with lung cancer who received biportal thoracoscopic radical resection were divided into group A and group B from January 2018 to September 2020. Group A: 150 patients with single 28# thoracic drainage tube after surgery. Group B: 150 patients with single 20# thoracic drainage tube and a negative pressure drainage ball after surgery. The postoperative drainage volume, drainage time, postoperative pain, postoperative thoracic puncture, hospital stay and total hospital expenses were compared.Results:No significant difference between the two groups in terms of sex, age, postoperative pathological type and resection range. There no significant difference between the two groups in total drainage volume [(1 010.31±525.29)ml vs.(985.35±403.93)ml] and total drainage time [(5.69±2.55)days vs.(5.42±1.94)days]. The difference of different diameter thoracic drainage tube used [(5.69±2.55)days vs.(2.88±0.64)days] was statistically significant. There were significant differences between two groups in terms of hospital stay[(12.64±2.89)days vs.(11.25±1.62)days] and total hospital expenses[(62 899.00±1 588.82) yuan vs.(64 327.00±3 587.04)yuan]. No significant differences on the postoperative first day, second day and third day in VAS pain scores. However, on the postoperative fifth day, the difference was statistically significant. In addition, the rate of group A postoperative thoracic puncture was 10%, group B was 0, the comparison was statistically significant.Conclusion:Using a single thin thoracic drainage tube and plus a negative pressure drainage ball after biportal thoracoscopic radical resection for lung cancer will not cause pain increase, shorten hospital stay days, control the rate of postoperative thoracic puncture and then reduce patients total hospital expenses.

Objective To explore the correlation between the imaging features of peripheral ground-glass pulmonary nodules and the invasion degree of lung adenocarcinoma, and the high risk factors for infiltrating lung adenocarcinoma under thin-slice CT, which provides some reference for clinicians to plan the surgical methods of pulmonary nodules before operation and to better communicate with patients, and assists in building a clinical predictive model for invasive adenocarcinoma. Methods Clinical data of the patients with peripheral ground-glass pulmonary nodules (diameter≤3 cm) in thin-slice chest CT in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2019 to January 2020 were continuously collected. All patients underwent thin-slice CT scan and thoracoscopic surgery in our center. According to the pathological examination results, they were divided into two groups: an adenocarcinoma lesions before infiltration group, and an invasive lung adenocarcinoma group. The thin-slice CT imaging parameters of pulmonary nodules were collected. The nodular diameter, mean CT value, consolidation tumor ratio (CTR), nodular shape, vacuolar sign, bronchial air sign, lobulation sign, burr sign, lesion boundary, pleural depression sign, vascular cluster sign and other clinical data were collected. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to analyze the independent risk factors for the infiltrating lung adenocarcinoma, and to analyze the threshold value and efficacy of each factor for the identification of infiltrating lung adenocarcinoma. Results Finally 190 patients were enrolled. There were 110 patients in the adenocarcinoma lesions before infiltration group, including 21 males and 89 females with a mean age of 53.57±10.90 years, and 80 patients in the invasive lung adenocarcinoma group, including 31 males and 49 females with a mean age of 56.45±11.30 years. There was a statistical difference in the mean CT value, nodular diameter, CTR, gender, smoking, nodular type, nodular shape, vacuolar sign, lobulation sign, burr sign, lesion boundary, pleural depression sign, vascular cluster sign between the two groups (P<0.05). However, there was no statistical difference between the two groups in age (P=0.081), lesion site (P=0.675), and bronchial air sign (P=0.051). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that nodular diameter, mean CT value, CTR and lobulation sign were independent risk factors for differentiating preinvasive adenocarcinoma from invasive adenocarcinoma. At the same time, the threshold value was calculated by Youden index, indicating that the CTR was 0.45, the nodal diameter was 10.5 mm and the mean CT value was –452 Hu. Conclusion In the peripheral ground-glass pulmonary nodules, according to the patient's CT imaging features, such as mixed ground-glass nodules, irregular shapes, vacuoles, short burrs, clear boundaries, pleural indentations, and vascular clusters, have a certain reference value in the discrimination of the invasion degree of ground-glass pulmonary nodules. At the same time, it is found in this research that peripheral ground-glass pulmonary nodules with diameter greater than 10.5 mm, CT value greater than –452 Hu, CTR greater than 0.45 and lobulation sign are more likely to be infiltrating lung adenocarcinoma.
