Objective:To summarize the experience and technical difficulties of complete thoracoscopic lobectomy(segmental) in the treatment of congenital pulmonary airway malformation in children.Methods:The clinical data, surgical videos and follow-up results of 38 children suffering from congenital pulmonary airway malformation and underwent complete thoracoscopic lobectomy in Children′s Hospital of Fudan University Xiamen Branch from January 2017 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.A statistical comparisons of operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative pain (the first time of getting out of bed), incision length and postoperative pulmonary complications were made between 28 children who underwent the total thoracoscopic lobectomy and 21 children who accepted open surgical lobectomy before January 2017 in Children′s Hospital of Fudan University Xiamen Branch.Results:Thirty-eight children with congenital pulmonary airway malformation were successfully operated by complete thoracoscopy.There were 28 lobectomies, 6 segmental lobectomies and 4 wedge lobectomies.Postoperative follow-up was conducted for more than 3 months, and no serious surgical complications occurred.Chest radiograph of 2 children with the right lower lobectomy at 48 hours after surgery had the elevation of the right diaphragm (2-3 intercostal), and it returned to normal 3 months after surgery.The CT review of 1 child with pulmonary wedge resection 1 month after surgery displayed a little residual lesion.Thoracoscopic lobectomy was significantly different from open surgery in terms of incision length[(2.0±0.5) cm vs. (10.0±0.5) cm], postoperative pain (the first time of getting out of bed)[(24.0±2.0) h vs. (48.0±1.5) h] and pulmonary complications (0 vs. 5 cases). The operative time of single lung ventilation was remarkably different from that of double lung ventilation in thoracoscopic lobectomy[(96.0±6.0) min vs. (118.0±7.0) min, t=106.501, P<0.001]. Compared with thoracoscopic lobectomy, thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy has a long time and a large amount of blood loss. Conclusions:Complete thoracoscopic lobectomy (segmental) is the first choice for the treatment of congenital pulmonary airway malformation in children, with clear operative field, little trauma, less postoperative pain, quick recovery and fewer respiratory complications.Single-lung ventilation is beneficial for surgical completion.

ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of acute respiratory infections in children under 12 years old in Pudong New Area, Shanghai from 2019 to 2023. MethodsAcute respiratory infection samples of children under 12 years old from three sentinel hospitals in Pudong New Area, Shanghai from 2019 to 2023 were collected, and 42 respiratory infection pathogens, including influenza virus, adenovirus, parainfluenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, human enterovirus/rhinovirus, human pulmonary virus, human bokavirus, coronavirus (229E, HKU1, NL63 and OC43), and novel coronavirus, were detected with microfluidic chips. The situation of acute respiratory infections among outpatient and inpatient children in this area was analyzed for the before the implementation of non pharmacological intervention measures (2019.12‒2020.1), during the period of non pharmacological intervention measures (2020.2‒2022.12), and after non pharmacological intervention measures (2023.1‒2023.6). ResultsFrom 2019 to 2023, a total of 1 770 samples were collected, and 445 pathogens were detected, with a detection rate of 25.14% (445/1 770). The main pathogens detected during the study period were influenza virus: 8.70% (154/1 770), respiratory syncytial virus: 4.41% (78/1 770), human enterovirus/rhinovirus: 2.66% (47/1 770), human adenovirus: 2.49% (44/1 770), and parainfluenza virus: 2.20% (39/1 770). Before the implementation of non pharmacological intervention measures, outpatients were primarily infected with influenza, parainfluenza virus, and respiratory syncytial virus, with detection rates of 8.09%, 4.49%, and 4.04%, respectively; inpatients were mainly infected with influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, and parainfluenza virus, with detection rates of 4.49%, 3.82%, and 3.15%, respectively. During the period of non pharmacological intervention measures, influenza, rhinovirus and respiratory syncytial virus were the main viruses detected in the samples of outpatient children, with detection rates of 4.04%, 3.60%, and 2.47%, respectively; inpatient samples mainly detected respiratory syncytial virus, rhinovirus, and influenza virus, with detection rates of 3.60%, 2.02%, and 1.80%, respectively. After non pharmacological intervention measures, influenza, rhinovirus and respiratory syncytial virus were the main pathogens detected in the outpatients, with detection rates of 9.89%, 2.92% and 2.02%, respectively; influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, and rhinovirus were the main pathogens detected in inpatient children, with detection rates of 6.29%, 1.57%, and 1.35%, respectively. ConclusionThe prevalence of pathogens related to acute respiratory infections in children is influenced by non pharmacological preventive measures.
