To evaluate the diagnostic value of heterologous serum antibody for tuberculosis ,we detected the serum spec-imens from 102 patients with tuberculosis (included 73 pulmonary TB and 29 extrapulmonary TB) ,223 patients with other re-spiratory diseases and 100 healthy people were enrolled into the study .Results of clinical diagnosis as the golden standard were used to evaluate sensitivity and specificity of the tuberculosis antibody .Tuberculosis antibody (IgG/IgM ) ,sputum bacterial culture and sputum smear were used to test M .tuberculosis infection parallelly .Results were compared by chi-square test .Re-sults showed that the sensitivity and specificity of IgG/IgM tuberculosis antibodies in diagnosis of tuberculosis were respectively 74 .51% and 91 .64% .The sensitivity of IgG/IgM tuberculosis antibodies in diagnosis of pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuber-culosis were respectively 82 .19% and 55 .17% ,which were significant differences between the positive detection rate of pulmo-nary tuberculosis and extrapulmonary tuberculosis (P>0 .05) .The positive rate of IgG/IgM tuberculosis antibodies was higher than those in sputum culture and sputum smear (P<0 .05) .A total of 102 cases of tuberculosis in patients in different age groups were analyzed ,and the positive detection rate of children and elderly group were 58 .33% and 36% ,respectively ,which were far below the rate in the youth group (96 .15% ) and the middle-aged group (89 .74% ) .The chi-square value for the differences in age group in the sensitivity of IgG/IgM tuberculosis antibodies was significant difference (P<0 .05) .Six out of 425 cases of specimens were found as M .intracellulare ,and 2 as M .abscessus .However ,the IgG/IgM tuberculosis antibodies were negative in diagnosis of non-tuberculous mycobacteria .Antibody (IgG/IgM ) is sensitive ,rapid ,convenient ,and easy to manipulate the screening of tuberculosis .

Metastasis is the main factor leading to the death of patients with lung cancer, and active prevention is the key to improve the efficacy of treatment. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) play an important role in initiating metastasis. They trigger a series of metastatic cascade reactions at the moment of shedding from the primary focus, and finally colonize and proliferate in the distant target organs. In recent years, the detection technology of lung cancer CTCs has been continuously optimized. It can not only count CTCs, but also identify different subsets. CTCs detection of lung cancer can be used for early screening, the prediction of prognosis after surgery and chemoradiotherapy and the evaluation of curative effect of targeted immunotherapy. Dynamic monitoring of tumor heterogeneity is helpful to adjust personalized treatment plan and achieve the accurate treatment of cancer. Tian Jianhui's research group established the world's first circulating tumor cell line of human lung adenocarcinoma, integrated it into the theory of "positive deficiency and toxin" in the subclinical core pathogenesis of lung cancer, and actively promoted the construction of a specific research platform for lung cancer, in order to improve the research, prevention and control efficiency of lung cancer metastasis.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of off-clamping in robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for the treatment of renal tumors.Methods From January 2015 to March 2017,the data of 48 patients who underwent off-clamping RAPN were reviewed retrospectively.There were 31 males and 17 females,and the mean age was 57 years (range:23-84 years).The mean tumor size was 3.1 cm (range:1.2-6.4 cm),with the upper,middle,and lower polar tumors account for 35.4%,27.1%,and 37.5%,respectively.The clinical tumor stage was T1N0M0 in all 48 cases,according to the AJCC tumor staging system for renal cancer.Results RAPNs were performed successfully in all 48 cases,without conversion to open surgery.In those patients,the application of off-clamping in robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy was performed in 44 cases.The renal artery and vein was exposed,dissected,isolated and then clamped in 4 cases due to bleeding.The mean surgical time was 85 min (range:75-185 min).The mean estimated blood loss was 134 ml (range:60-270 ml),and no blood transfusion was needed.The wound surface was closed using interrupted suture with Hem-o-lok clips securing each needle point.The mean time for renorrhaphy was 22 min (rang:11-31 min).No intraoperative severe complications such as vascular injury,trauma of abdominal organ occurred.There were 5 complications,including 2 cases of hematuria,2 cases of delayed healing of incision,and 1 case of pneumohypoderma.The pathological diagnosis included 40 cases of renal clear cell carcinoma,3 cases of papillary renal cell carcinoma,and 5 cases of angiomyolipomas.No tumor recurrence or distant metastasis was observed during the average follow-up of 17 months (range 3-27 months).Conclusions Off-clamping RAPN is safe and feasible approach to excise certain kidney tumors.It carries the benefits of less complication,quick recovery,and less ischemia reperfusion renal injury.Off-clamping RAPN would be suitable for those patients with solitary kidneys,renal insufficiency,and bilateral tumors.
