With the optimization of surgical technologies and postoperative management regimens, the number of lung transplantation has been significantly increased, which has become an important treatment for patients with end-stage lung disease. However, due to the impact of comprehensive factors, such as bronchial ischemia and immunosuppression, the incidence of airway stenosis after lung transplantation is relatively high, which severely affects postoperative survival and quality of life of lung transplant recipients. In recent years, with the improvement of perioperative management, organ preservation and surgical technologies, the incidence of airway stenosis after lung transplantation has been declined, but it remains at a high level. Early diagnosis and timely intervention play a significant role in enhancing clinical prognosis of patients with airway stenosis. In this article, the general conditions, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of airway stenosis after lung transplantation were reviewed, aiming to provide reference for comprehensive management of airway stenosis after lung transplantation and improving clinical prognosis of lung transplant recipients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the specific anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody in adults and above after initial vaccination with inactivated COVID-19 vaccine, and determine the influencing factors. MethodsIn this study, residents aged 18 and above who had completed two doses of inactivated COVID-19 vaccine in Deqing County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province were included. Information such as gender, age, type of vaccine and vaccination time were collected, and serum specimens were sampled. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain (RBD) antibody was quantitatively examined by enzyma-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and influencing factors were determined. ResultsThe median concentration of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody in the residents vaccinated with an inactivated booster vaccine was higher than that in those vaccinated with only two doses of COVID-19 vaccine or single dose (P<0.05). The median concentration of IgG antibody in males was 9.73 (4.01‒23.70) RU‧mL-1, lower than 17.76 (7.07‒49.23) RU‧mL-1 in females (P<0.05). The median concentration in the residents vaccinated with BBIBP-CorV (Sinopharm) was 6.53 (0.97‒13.69) RU‧mL-1, which was lower than that in those vaccinated with CoronaVac (Sinovac) that was 17.29 (8.54‒43.73) RU‧mL-1 (P<0.05). The median concentration in those with BBIBP-CorV was also lower than 12 (5.45‒40.06) RU‧mL-1 in those with heterologous booster vaccine (P<0.05). The median concentration was 9.73 (3.83‒23.63) RU‧mL-1 in the residents with an interval of more than 6 months from the second dose, which was lower than 14.66 (6.36‒35.98) RU‧mL-1 in those with an interval of 3‒6 months (P<0.05). Moreover, immune effect was better in females (χ²=16.464, P<0.05), 18‒45 years(χ²=7.158, P<0.05), and those vaccinated with CornaVac (χ²=49.637, P<0.05), while decreased in those with an interval of more than 6 months from the second dose (χ²=8.447, P<0.05). ConclusionGender, age, and type of vaccine may affect the effect of immunization. The COVID-19 vaccination shows an acceptable immunogenicity in adults; however, it declines in 6 months after vaccination. It warrants strengthening the booster vaccination to maintain the immune response.

ObjectiveTo determine the serum antibody level and risk factors in the adolescent population in a county in Zhejiang Province, following the immunization with inactivated COVID-19 vaccine, and to construct a prediction model for antibody concentration. MethodsWe conducted the study in a county in Zhejiang Province, employing a stratified cluster random sampling strategy in school children who had received the inactivated COVID-19 vaccine. Data on gender, age, type of vaccine, and time of vaccination was collected. Serum samples were also collected to test for anti-S and N IgG antibody against the SARS-CoV-2 by using chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA). Risk factors were determined to construct a prediction model for antibody concentration. ResultsThe IgG antibody concentration was significantly higher in girls, those who received two doses, and those who had simply received the KX vaccine . It decreased with age and time interval between the sampling and last vaccination. The prediction model constructed by random forest regression in the study had a better model fit and predictive ability than that by the multivariable linear stepwise regression. ConclusionGender, age, vaccination dose, type of vaccine, and time of vaccination are associated with vaccination effectiveness of inactivated COVID-19 vaccines in adolescents. Prediction model could predict the antibody level in the vaccinated population, which can provide a new tool for better evaluation of vaccination effectiveness against emerging infectious diseases in future.
