Purpose To explore the CT manifestations and pathological features of pneumonia-type lung cancer, and to improve the diagnosis capability of pneumonia-type lung cancer. Materials and Methods CT and pathologic features of 33 cases of biopsy or surgical pathology confirmed pneumonia-type lung cancer patients were retrospectively analyzed and classified according to the new pulmonary adenocarcinoma classification. Results Among the 33 pneumonia-type lung cancer subjects, CT showed multiple distributions within both lungs in 22 cases, lateral lobe distribution in 9 cases, segmental distribution in 2 cases. Lung consolidation was found in all lesions, among them 21 cases appeared mainly as lower lobe consolidation, 32 cases as inflatable bronchial symptoms within the consolidation, including inflatable bronchoconstriction in 24 cases;consolidation with multiple pulmonary nodules found in 23 cases;ground glass shadowing around or distal to the consolidation found in 26 cases;combined with cysts or honeycomb lung symptom in 13 cases. Inhomogeneous mild enhancement of lung consolidation after enhancement found in 18 cases and inhomogeneous moderate enhancement in 15 cases;blood vessel branch shadow within the consolidation was visible in 21 cases. Pathology results revealed 26 cases of invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma, and 7 cases of invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma partial mixed with papillary or alveolar adenocarcinoma. Conclusion CT features of pneumonia-type lung cancer are single or multiple opacities, within which inflatable bronchial symptoms can be observed, with multiple nodules and ground glass shadowing, cysts or honeycomb symptom can also be found concomitant, the lesions expand, increase and spread to both lungs, taking its dynamic change features into consideration will also help to improve the diagnostic accuracy.

Objective:
Through the bibliometrics analysis, to understand the research status quo and trend of the application of gamification in health management.
Methods:
Based on the Web of Science Core Collection, We retrieved the article, review and proceedings paper published from 1900 to 2018 and analyzed literature retrieved in term of document types, publication years, authors, and funding agencies. In addition, VOSviewer1.6.9 was used for visualization analysis of keywords and countries/regions.
Results:
A total of 364 pieces of literature were retrieved, of which 177 (48.63%) pieces were article. Since 2013, the number of literature has shown an upward trend at a rapid speed. However, only 16.48% of the literature were published by high productivity authors, which means a core group of authors has not yet formed in this research direction. The United States published the most literature, 89 pieces. Seven of the top ten funding agencies by volume were belong to the United Kingdom. However, only 10 pieces of literature were published by China. A total of 55 high-frequency keywords were included in this study, forming 5 research topics: physical activities management of adolescent based on mobile devices; internet-based behavior and mental health management for older-adults; design and application of fitness games; intervention and promotion of youth health behavior; the application of mobile health in adult self-management. The new high frequency keywords included older-adults, adults, mental health etc.
Conclusion
The application of gamification in health management is in its infancy, but it develops rapidly. European and American countries are in a leading position, while China is relatively backward. The research topics tend to be diversified and gamification is initially applied to the older-adults, adults and mental health management. In the future, the application scope of gamification in health management should be further expanded and effectively combined gamification with mHealth.

Objective:Lung ultrasound (LUS) has been used in the diagnosis of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome(RDS) successfully, but there have been no multicenter prospective studies to verify its reliability or determine how to grade RDS with LUS findings.This study aimed to discuss the necessity and feasibility of using LUS findings to determine RDS grades through a multicenter prospective study.Methods:Every researcher participated in the National Neonatal Lung Ultrasound Training Course and receiving 3-6 months of lung ultrasound system training at the National Neonatal Lung Ultrasound Training Center.Patients between June 2018 and May 2020 who met the RDS ultrasound diagnostic criteria and had full available clinical data were included in this study.The LUS examination was completed immediately after the patients were admitted to the hospital.Some of them also underwent chest X-ray examination.Arterial blood gas analysis was completed immediately before or after the LUS ultrasound examination.RDS grading was performed according to the LUS findings and whether the patient had serious complications.Results:A total of 275 qualifying cases were included in this study, which included 220 premature infants and 55 full-term infants, and the primary RDS occurred in 117 cases (42.5%), and secondary RDS occurred in 158 cases (57.5%). LUS manifestations of RDS patients can be divided into three categories: (1)A ground-glass opacity sign: which could be found among 50 infants when they were admitted to the hospital (that was, at their first LUS examination). Twenty-eight of these infants were considered to have wet lungs and were not sent for special management on admission, but LUS showed typical snowflake-like lung consolidation within 0.5 to 4 hours.Twenty-two of them were given mechanical ventilation with exogenous pulmonary surfactant; Eighteen cases were controlled within 6-12 hours, but the lung lesions became more severe in the other 4 infants (due to severe intrauterine infection). (2)Snowflake-like lung consolidations: the first LUS on admission showed typical snowflake-like lung consolidation involving areas ranging from 1-2 intercostal spaces to 12 lung divisions in 204 cases.Thirty-eight infants among them the lung consolidation only had involvement of 1-2 intercostal spaces at the time of admission; Fifteen of them received invasive respiratory support and recovered within 4-12 hours.Twelve patients received noninvasive respiratory support; Seven of them recovered, while five cases developed severe lung illness.The remaining 11 patients who were not given any form of ventilator support developed severe conditions within 1-4 hours.Thirty of them showed snowflake signs involving 12 lung regions at admission.The remaining 136 patients had lung consolidation degree between the two degree above condition.(3)Snowflake-like sign with complications: Twenty-one patients had severe complications such as pneumothorax, pulmonary hemorrhage or/and persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn or large area atelectasis, etc, although snowflake lung consolidation did not involve all lung regions.Conclusion:(1) LUS is reliable and accurate for diagnosing RDS.RDS has the same characteristics on ultrasound for both preterm and full-term infants, both primary and secondary RDS.(2) To facilitate the management of RDS, it is necessary to classify RDS according to the ultrasound findings and the presence of severe complications.(3) Based on the results of this study, it is recommended that RDS can be divided into mild, moderate and severe degrees.The exact standards for grading are as follows: Mild RDS: the early stage of RDS, in which lung consolidation shows as a ground-glass opacity sign on ultrasound; Moderate RDS: lung consolidation shows a snowflake sign on ultrasound, not all of the lung fields are involved; Severe RDS meets one or more of the following criteria: lung consolidation shows as a snowflake sign on ultrasound and all lung regions are involved, or regardless of its degree and extent, lung consolidation has caused serious complications, such as pulmonary hemorrhage, pneumothorax, persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, or/and a large area of pulmonary atelectasis.
