Objective To identify the genotype of merozoite surface protein 1 (MSP1) of Plasmodium falciparum isolates from Hainan Province. Methods Nested PCR was applied to amplify the MSP1 of Blocks 2 and 3 Plasmodium falciparum isolates from Hainan Province. Two allelic family representitive gene fragments were sequenced.Results From 36 out of 39 blood samples from Plasmodium falciparum patients, 44 gene fragments of blocks 2 and 3 of the MSP1 were amplified, of which the MAD20 type allele was dominant(75%). followed by K1 type allele. No RO33 type allele was found. The mixed infection rate of the two different allelic type was 19 4%. Sequence analysis showed that the sequences of MAD20 and K1 type isolates from Hainan Province were highly homologous to that of the MAD20 and K1 allelic prototypes.Conclusion Two principal allelic types of MSP1 gene, MAD20 and K1 type, exist in malaria endemic areas in Hainan Province, the MAD20 type being the dominant.

Cotinus coggygria Scop. is theAnacardiaceae Cotinus L. plant and used for natural drugs in the treatment of acute icteric infectious hepatitis. The pharmacological research showed thatCotinus coggygria Scop. has the effects of reducing jaundice and enzyme, gallbladder Cholagogic and strengthen immune function. The current research onCotinus coggygria Scop. is still not deep enough, the pharmacological effects ofCotinus coggygria Scop. are mostly limited to the anticoagulant, hemolytic and anti liver chemical injury. In order to better study the scientific connotation of antitumor ofCotinus coggygria Scop., the active ingredient ofCotinus coggygria Scop., pharmacological action and clinical application were reviewed.

BACKGROUND:
Low dose computed tomography (LDCT) for lung cancer screening is widely employed in China as a result of increasing cancer screening awareness. Although some pulmonary lesions detected by LDCT are cancerous, most of the pulmonary nodules are benign. It is important to make effective preoperative differentiation of pulmonary lesions and to obviate the need for surgery in some patients with benign disease.
METHODS:
From January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2018, patients in our institution with surgical pathology confirmed benign pulmonary lesions in which malignancy could not be excluded in preoperative assessment were enrolled in this study. Retrospective analysis of clinical data was conducted.
RESULTS:
297 cases were collected in this study. Prevalence of benign disease in patients underwent resection for focal pulmonary lesions is 9.8% in our institution. In 197 patients (66.3%), pulmonary lesions were detected by LDCT screening. A total of 323 assessable pulmonary lesions were detected by chest CT. The average diameter of pulmonary lesions was (17.9±12.1) mm, and 91.0% of which were greater than or equal to 8 mm. Solid nodules accounted for 65.6% of these lesions. Imaging characteristics suggesting malignancy were common, including spicule sign (71/323, 22.0%), lobulation (94/323, 29.1%), pleural indentation (81/323, 25.1%), vascular convergence sign (130/323, 40.2%) and vacuole sign (23/323, 7.1%). 292 patients (98.3%) underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Pulmonary wedge resection was performed in 232 cases (78.1%), segmental resection in 13 cases (4.4%) and lobotomy in 51 cases (17.2%). Surgical complications occurred in 4 patients (1.3%). The most frequent findings on surgical pathology analysis were: infectious lesions in 98 cases (33.0%), inflammatory nodules in 96 cases (32.3%), and hamartoma in 64 cases (21.5%).
CONCLUSIONS
Solid nodules accounted for most of these benign pulmonary lesions in which malignancy could not be excluded preoperatively, and imaging characteristics suggesting malignancy were common. VATS is an important biopsy method to identify etiology and pathology for lesions. The most frequent benign pulmonary diseases that are suspected to be malignant and underwent surgical resection are: infectious lesions, inflammatory nodules and hamartoma.

BACKGROUND:
Perioperative treatment has become an increasingly important aspect of the management of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Small-scale clinical studies performed in recent years have shown improvements in the major pathological remission rate after neoadjuvant therapy, suggesting that it will soon become an important part of NSCLC treatment. Nevertheless, neoadjuvant immunotherapy may be accompanied by serious adverse reactions that lead to delay or cancelation of surgery, additional illness, and even death, and have therefore attracted much attention. The purpose of the clinical recommendations is to form a diagnosis and treatment plan suitable for the current domestic medical situation for the immune-related adverse event (irAE).
METHODS:
This recommendation is composed of experts in thoracic surgery, oncologists, thoracic medicine and irAE related departments (gastroenterology, respirology, cardiology, infectious medicine, hematology, endocrinology, rheumatology, neurology, dermatology, emergency section) to jointly complete the formulation. Experts make full reference to the irAE guidelines, large-scale clinical research data published by thoracic surgery, and the clinical experience of domestic doctors and publicly published cases, and repeated discussions in multiple disciplines to form this recommendation for perioperative irAE.
RESULTS:
This clinical recommendation covers the whole process of prevention, evaluation, examination, treatment and monitoring related to irAE, so as to guide the clinical work comprehensively and effectively.
CONCLUSIONS
Perioperative irAE management is an important part of immune perioperative treatment of lung cancer. With the continuous development of immune perioperative treatment, more research is needed in the future to optimize the diagnosis and treatment of perioperative irAE.
