		                        			Objective:To compare the effects of thoracoscopic anatomical segmentectomy and thoracoscopic lobectomy on patients' respiratory function.Methods:Retrospective analysis of 326 patients who underwent thoracoscopic surgery from July 2016 to July 2019(209 patients underwent anatomical segmentectomy, 117 patients underwent lobectomy). According to variables including gender, age, tumor location, smoking history and BMI, two propensity score-matched cohorts including 89 patients respectively were constructed. The patients’ baseline data and respiratory function date of the patients pre-operation and post-operation were analyzed. The measurement data that obey the normal distribution were described by mean±standard deviation, and the t-test was used for comparison between groups; the measurement data of non-normal distribution was described by the median value( P25, P75), and the Wilcoxon rank sum test was used for the comparison between groups; The data was described by frequency, and the chi-square test or Fisher's exact probability method was used for comparison between groups. Results:At the first-month follow-up after surgery, there was no significant difference in the variation of FVC[(0.48±0.40)L vs.(0.34±0.37)L, P=0.215)and FEV1[(0.52±0.46)L vs.(0.43±0.77)L, P=0.364), and in the change rate of FVC(%)[15.23(8.74, 21.25) vs. 14.58(7.75, 19.40), P=0.122], FEV1(%)[17.25(9.56, 22.78) vs. 16.42(9.15, 20.28), P=0.154]and DLCO(%)[18.54(10.88, 25.68)vs. 17.45(9.58, 23.75) P=0.245]. Between the segmentectomy group and lobectomy group, there was a significant difference in the alteration of FVC[(0.50±0.47)L vs. (0.29±0.31)L, P=0.031] and FEV1[(0.44±0.34)L vs.(0.24±0.23)L, P<0.001], the change rate of FVC(%)[14.27(7.87, 22.32) vs. 9.95(5.56, 17.24), P=0.008]、FEV1(%)[15.23(8.36, 22.17)vs. 10.05(5.15, 18.54), P<0.001]and DLCO(%)[13.74(6.24, 19.78) vs. 4.45(-2.32, 13.75), P=0.023]in the 6th month after surgery. The lobectomy group had a higher variation of FEV1[(0.34±0.49)L vs.(0.18±0.26)L, P=0.006] and change rate of FVC(%)[9.28(2.15, 18.94) vs. 5.24(0.52, 11.45), P=0.0032] and FEV1(%)[10.45(3.15, 21.32) vs. 6.50(1.55, 14.24), P<0.001] in the first year after surgery. However, the variation of FVC[(0.29±0.36)L vs.(0.21±0.24)L, P=0.176) and the change rate of DLCO(%)[8.35(2.15, 16.45) vs. 6.23(2.12, 14.54), P=0.143] didn't show a significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion:Whether in the short or the middle postoperative period, segmentectomy can preserve postoperative respiratory function than lobectomy.

		                        			Objective:To understand the molecular epidemic characteristics and genes of human astrovirus (HAstV) in infantile diarrhea patients in Jilin province from 2017 to 2020.Methods:Fecal samples of hospitalized infants with diarrhea under 5 years of age from January 2017 to December 2020 were collected. The nucleic acids of fecal samples were amplified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), the positive amplification products were sequenced, and the phylogenetic tree was constructed.Results:A total of 2 019 fecal samples were collected, of which 71 were positive for HAstV, with a positive rate of 3.5%. Among the cases with positive samples of HAstV, 42 had mixed infection with other viruses causing diarrhea, accounting for 59.2% of the total number of positive cases, half of which were mixed infection with rotavirus and HAstV. From 2017 to 2020, the positive rates of HAstV were 4.69%, 1.98%, 5.93% and 0.43% per year, respectively. There were two epidemic peaks every year and one epidemic peak year every two years. The positive rate of 36-47 months old was the highest, followed by 0-2 months old. A total of 55 sequences were obtained in this study. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that they all belonged to classical HAstV, including 42 HAstV-1a subtypes, 8 HAstV-1b subtypes and 5 HAstV-5 subtypes.Conclusions:HAstV is one of the important pathogens of diarrhea in children under 5 years of age in Jilin province. The epidemic law has obvious seasonal and age differences. The dominant strain is HAstV-1a.

		                        			Objective:To understand the common viral infection among the surveillance cases of fever respiratory syndrome (FRS) in nine provinces in China.Methods:The research data were obtained from nine provinces (Anhui, Beijing, Guangdong, Hebei, Hunan, Jilin, Shandong, Shaanxi and Xinjiang) in the "Infectious Disease Surveillance Technology Platform Information Management System" of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention from January 2009 to June 2021. Finally, 8 243 FRS cases with nucleic acid detection results of eight viruses [human influenza virus (HIFV), human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV), human adenovirus (HAdV), human parainfluenza virus (HPIV), human rhinovirus (HRV), human metapneumovirus (HMPV), human coronavirus (HCoV) and human Boca virus (HBoV)] were included in the study. The χ 2 test/Fisher exact probability method was used to analyze the difference of virus detection rate in different age groups, regions and seasons. Results The M ( Q1, Q3) age of 8 243 FRS cases was 4 (1, 18) years old, and 56.56% (4 662 cases) were children under 5 years old. Males accounted for 58.1% (4 792 cases) of all cases. All cases were from outpatient/emergency department (2 043 cases) and inpatient department (6 200 cases). The virus detection rates of FRS cases from high to low were HRSV, HIFV, HPIV, HRV, HAdV, HMPV, HCoV and HBoV. Two or more viruses were detected simultaneously in 524 cases, accounting for 15.66% of virus-positive cases. The difference of the virus detection rate in different age groups was statistically significant (all P values<0.05), and the virus detection rate in children<5 years old was higher (49.96%). The positive rate of any virus in south China was higher than that in north China ( P<0.001). The virus-positive FRS cases were detected throughout the year. The detection rate of HRSV was higher in autumn and winter. The detection rate of HIFV was higher in winter. The detection rate of HMPV was higher in winter and spring. The detection rates of HPIV, HRV, HCoV and HBoV were higher in summer and autumn, while there was no significant difference in the detection rate of HAdV in different seasons. Compared with 2009-2019, the detection rate of any virus in 2020-2021 decreased from 41.37% to 37.86%. The detection rate of HIFV decreased sharply from 10.62% to 1.37%. The detection rate of HPIV decreased from 8.24% to 5.88%. The detection rate of HRV and HBoV increased from 5.43% and 1.79% to 9.67% and 3.19%, respectively. Conclusion:HRSV and HIFV infections are more common among FRS cases in nine provinces in China from 2009 to 2021, and the epidemiological characteristics of eight common respiratory viruses vary in different age groups, regions and seasons.

		                        			Objective:To investigate whether adjuvant chemotherapy could be beneficial for patients with pT1N1M0 (stage ⅠB) gastric cancer.Methods:From Jan 2010 to Dec 2016, 185 patients with pT1N1M0 gastric cancer who were surgically resected at Henan Cancer Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into chemotherapy group ( n=100) and non chemotherapy group ( n=85). Results:For disease-free survival (DFS) analysis, univariate survival analysis showed that age, examined lymph nodes, vascular invasion, nerve invasion and adjuvant chemotherapy were associated with DFS (all P<0.05); multivariate analysis showed that lymph node resection ≥ 16 ( HR=0.363, 95% CI: 0.160-0.827, P=0.016), vascular invasion ( HR=4.117, 95% CI: 1.796-9.436, P=0.001) and postoperative chemotherapy ( HR=4.530, 95% CI: 1.932-10.622, P=0.001) were independent risk factors for DFS. For disease-specific survival (DSS) analysis, univariate survival analysis showed that lymph node resection, vascular invasion, nerve invasion and adjuvant chemotherapy were associated with DSS; multivariate analysis showed that lymph node resection ≥ 16 ( HR=0.344, 95% CI: 0.144-0.822, P=0.016), vascular invasion ( HR=5.113, 95% CI: 2.029-12.887, P=0.001) and postoperative chemotherapy ( HR=4.694, 95% CI: 1.854-11.888, P=0.001)were independent risk factors for DSS. According to examined lymph nodes and vascular invasion , pT1N1M0 patients were divided into three risk categories (high, medium and low). DFS and DSS were significantly different among the three risk groups (all P<0.001, respectively). Conclusion:pT1N1M0 gastric cancer patients are expected to benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy. Patients with less than 16 lymph nodes and vascular invasion may be particularly suitable for adjuvant chemotherapy.

		                        			Objective:To understand the etiology and clinical characteristics of hospitalized severe community-acquired pneumonia(SCAP) in Changchun, and provide scientific basis for its etiology diagnosis and targeted treatment.Methods:The study subjects included 618 children with clinical diagnosis of SCAP who were hospitalized from January 2016 to December 2019.We collected pharyngeal swabs and alveolar lavage fluid from children.Virus isolation, bacterial culture, time-of-flight mass spectrometry, PCR/RT-PCR, colloidal gold method and Optochin test were used to detect the antigen, nucleic acid and protein profiles in the specimen.Results:There were more boys than girls in hospitalized children with SCAP.The peak age of onset was 7 to 12 months.Most cases occurred in winter and spring.The highest detection rate of SCAP virus was 56.15%(347/618); 73.49%(255/347) were positive for one virus, among which the top five were respiratory syncytial virus (27.8%), influenza A virus (23.9%), influenza B virus (16.1%), rhinovirus (12.2%) and metapneumovirus (10.2%). Two viruses were positive for 19.88%(69/347); three viruses were positive for 4.32%(15/347); four viruses were positive for 2.31%(8/347). Atypical microbial infections were 29.77%(184/618), of which Mycoplasma pneumoniae accounted for 95.65%(176/184). Bacterial infections were 17.31%(107/618), mainly Streptococcus pneumoniae(39.25%, 42/107) and Staphylococcus aureus(24.30%, 26/107). The mixed infection of multiple pathogens was 7.61%(47/618), among which the mixed infection rates of Mycoplasma pneumonia with Streptococcus pneumoniae, virus were 40.43% and 34.04%, respectively.High fever, faster breathing, and perioral cyanosis were risk factors for SCAP, with OR and 95% CI of 7.71 and 4.56-13.04, 2.43 and 2.02-2.93, 3.53 and 2.56-4.86, respectively.Viral co-infection occurred in 36.96%(34/92) of complications such as heart failure, toxic encephalopathy, and myocardial damage; Mycoplasma pneumoniae and other pathogens co-infected 35.29% of children with pleural effusion. Conclusion:The pathogens of SCAP in Changchun are mainly viruses notably, respiratory syncytial virus is the dominant pathogen, followed by Mycoplasma pneumoniae.The bacterial pathogen is mainly Streptococcus pneumoniae.High fever, faster breathing, and cyanosis around the mouth are risk factors for severe pneumonia.Multi-pathogen mixed infection is prone to serious complications.

		                        			Objective:To investigate the clinical features and effect of prognostic factors in patients with different pathological types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.Methods:We collected and analyzed the clinical data of 89 patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis who were treated at Huadong Hospital from March 2013 to May 2020. The data were analyzed via log-rank and Cox multivariate analyses.Results:The median overall survival time of the 89 cases was 10.2 months. Patients with B-cell lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis did not reach the median overall survival time. The median overall survival times of T-cell lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and NK-cell lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis were 10.2 and 3.0 months, respectively. The pathological type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (OS: P=0041, PFS: P=0.015) , ECOG score ≥ 3 (OS: P=0.031, PFS: P=0.030) , hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (OS: P=0.005, PFS: P=0.040) , lymphadenopathy (OS: P=0.007, PFS: P=0.012) , and splenomegaly (OS: P=0.276, PFS: P=0.324) were related to the overall survival and progression-free survival of patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Splenectomy could improve the prognosis of patients with lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, especially T-cell lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Conclusion:The clinical characteristics of patients with different pathological types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis were similar but were different in the overall survival rate and the effect of prognostic factors. We suggested that patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis should receive more than combined chemotherapy. To improve the prognosis and survival rate of patients, those with B-cell lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and NK-cell lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis promptly require hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Moreover, patients with T-cell lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis should consider splenectomy.

		                        			Objective:To explore the effects and mechanism of interleukin-17 (IL-17)-modified mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on the allogeneic skin transplantation in mice.Methods:(1) The femur, tibia, and humerus were isolated from five BALB/c mice (all female, aged 4 to 8 weeks, the same gender and age below) after sacrifice. BMSCs were isolated, purified, and cultured by whole bone marrow density gradient centrifugation combined with adherent separation method. The third passage of cells was used for morphological observation and identification of adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation. The fourth passage of cells was used for identification of the expression of stem cell surface markers. The third to sixth passages of BMSCs were pretreated with mouse recombinant IL-17 at a final mass concentration of 50 ng/mL for 5 days, and then were harvested for morphological observation. After being labeled with carbocyanine fluorescent dye (CM-Dil), IL-17-pretreated BMSCs and IL-17-unpretreated BMSCs were obtained for morphological observation and the labeling rates were calculated. (2) Forty-five C57BL/6J mice were divided into phosphate buffer solution (PBS) control group ( n=13), BMSCs alone group ( n=16), and BMSCs+ IL-17 group ( n=16) according to the random number table. One day before the skin transplantation of mice, 0.1 mL BMSCs (5×10 6 cells/mL) without CM-Dil labeling were injected to the 13 mice in BMSCs alone group through the tail vein, and 0.1 mL BMSCs (5×10 6 cells/mL) labeled with CM-Dil were injected to the other 3 mice in BMSCs alone group through the tail vein. IL-17-pretreated BMSCs (5×10 6 cells/mL) without CM-Dil labeling in the volume of 0.1 mL were injected to the 13 mice in BMSCs+ IL-17 group through the tail vein, and 0.1 mL IL-17-pretreated BMSCs (5×10 6 cells/mL) labeled with CM-Dil were injected to the other 3 mice in BMSCs+ IL-17 group through the tail vein. PBS in the volume of 0.1 mL was injected to the 13 mice in PBS control group through the tail vein. Forty-five BALB/c mice were used as donors, and forty-five treated C57BL/6J mice in the 3 groups were used as recipients to establish a back-to-back full-thickness skin transplantation model. On the 2nd day after transplantation, the same number of corresponding cells and the equal amount of PBS were injected to the recipient mice of each group again. On the 7th day after transplantation, three mice injected with CM-Dil-labeled BMSCs in BMSCs alone group and three mice injected with CM-Dil-labeled IL-17-pretreated BMSCs in BMSCs+ IL-17 group were sacrificed by cervical dislocation to track the CM-Dil-labeled BMSCs by fluorescence microscope, which was counted. After the dressing removal on the 6th day post transplantation, 7 mice were selected respectively from 13 mice in BMSCs alone group injected with BMSCs without CM-Dil-labeling, 13 mice in BMSCs+ IL-17 group injected with IL-17-pretreated BMSCs without CM-Dil-labeling, and 13 mice in PBS control group, respectively, to record the skin graft survival time. On the 8th day post transplantation, three of the remaining six mice in the three groups were taken for general observation of the grafted skin, serum levels of interferon-γ, IL-10, and transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method, the percentage of CD4 + CD25 + forkhead/winged helix transcription factor p3 (Foxp3) + regulatory T cells (Tregs) in spleen by flow cytometer, and the histopathological observation of the grafted skin by hematoxylin eosin staining. The rest three mice in each group were also taken for histopathological observation as above on the 14th day post transplantation. Data were statistically analysed with independent sample t test, one-way analysis of variance, and least significant difference test. Results:(1) There were no significant differences in the morphology and size between IL-17-pretreated BMSCs and IL-17-unpretreated BMSCs on culture day 5. (2) After CM-Dil labeling, BMSCs and IL-17-pretreated BMSCs grew well, and the labeling rate was almost 100%. (3) On the 7th day post transplantation, there were 6.2±2.6 CM-Dil-labeled BMSCs per 100 fold visual field in the skin and adjacent subcutaneous tissue of mice in BMSCs alone group, which were significantly fewer than the 15.0±5.3 CM-Dil-labeled IL-17-pretreated BMSCs per 100 fold visual field in BMSCs+ IL-17 group ( t=-2.962, P<0.05). (4) The skin graft survival time of mice in BMSCs alone group and BMSCs+ IL-17 group was (13.3±1.2) and (17.0±1.5) days respectively, significantly longer than (8.7±0.8) days in PBS control group ( P<0.01), and the skin graft survival time of mice in BMSCs+ IL-17 group was significantly longer than that in BMSCs alone group ( P<0.01). (5) On the 8th day post transplantation, most of the skin grafts of mice in PBS control group was black, scabby, and necrotic. Most of the skin grafts of mice in BMSCs alone group survived well, while all the skin grafts of mice in BMSCs+ IL-17 group survived well. (6) On the 8th day post transplantation, compared with those of PBS control group, the serum levels of IL-10 and TGF-β of mice in BMSCs alone group and BMSCs+ IL-17 group were significantly higher ( P<0.01), and the serum level of interferon-γ was significantly lower ( P<0.01). Compared with those of BMSCs alone group, the serum levels of IL-10 and TGF-β of mice in BMSCs+ IL-17 group were significantly higher ( P<0.01), and the serum level of interferon-γ was significantly lower ( P<0.01). (7) On the 8th day post transplantation, the percentages of CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + Treg in spleen of mice in BMSCs alone group and BMSCs+ IL-17 group were significantly higher than the percentage of PBS control group ( P<0.01), and the percentage of CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + Treg in spleen of mice in BMSCs+ IL-17 group was significantly higher than that of BMSCs alone group ( P<0.01). (8) On the 8th day post transplantation, infiltration of a large number of inflammatory cells and necrosis of epidermis and dermis were found in the skin grafts of mice in PBS control group; focal infiltration of inflammatory cells and slight epidermal degeneration were found in the skin grafts of mice in BMSCs alone group; the skin appendages of the skin grafts of mice in BMSCs+ IL-17 group survived well with angiogenesis. On the 14th day post transplantation, the skin grafts of mice in BMSCs alone group showed extensive infiltration of inflammatory cells, severe epidermal degeneration and focal necrosis; the skin grafts of mice in BMSCs+ IL-17 group showed focal infiltration of inflammatory cells and slight epidermal degeneration; the skin grafts of mice in PBS control group were completely necrotic. Conclusions:IL-17 can reduce the immune rejection in allogeneic skin grafting and prolong the survival time of mouse skin grafts by improving mice BMSCs′ capabilities to induce immune tolerance and enhancing the homing ability of BMSCs.

		                        			To investigate the effect of capillary electrophoresis-based multiplex PCR (CEMP) in detecting pathogens for children respiratory tract infection, and to provide scientific basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment rapidly and accurately.
		                        		
		                        			Methods:
		                        			The cases were defined according to the national monitoring program of febrile respiratory syndrome during the 12th Five-Year Plan, and the samples were collected from nasopharyngeal swabs, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and sputum of children with respiratory tract infection hospitalized in Changchun Children′s Hospital from January 2017 to February 2018.Multiplex PCR amplification was performed by one-step method, then PCR products were separated by DNA length size with capillary electrophoresis and pathogens were analyzed by "Genemapper software" software.Detecting pathogens included Influenza A virus (InfA), Human Adenovirus (HADV), Boca virus (Boca), Human Rhinovirus (HRV), Novel InfA-09H1 (InfA-09H1) and Seasonal Influenza virus H3N2 (InfA-H3N2), Parainfluenza virus (HPIV), Human metapneumonia virus (HMPV), Influenza B virus (InfB), Mycoplasma pneumoniae (Mp), Chlamydia pneumoniae (CP), Human Coronavirus (HCOV), Human Respiratory Syncytial virus (HRSV).
		                        		
		                        			Results:
		                        			The effective detection rate of the CEMP assay was 95.71%.The positive detection rate of respiratory tract pathogens was 62.84% and the mixed infection rate was 9.61%.The mixed infection was mainly InfA and HRSV.The highest three positive rates were named InfA, HRSV and Mp.The positive rate of HRSV was significantly higher in the 0-3 age group than that in older group.Different pathogens were detected in different age groups, and the high-occurrence season of respiratory tract infection with virus was from December to March of the next year.InfA-09H1 was the main prevalent influenza virus in January, February and March 2017, InfA-H3N2 was the main prevalent influenza virus in November and December 2017, and the outbreak of InfB was happened in Changchun in late 2017 and early 2018.HRSV was detected only in the coldest season in Changchun from November to March of the next year.Different pathogens were detected in different respiratory infection.HRSV was the main pathogen detected in pneumonia; InfA-03H2 and HPIV were the main pathogens detected in acute bronchitis; HRV and InfA were the main pathogens detected in upper respiratory tract infection.
		                        		
		                        			Conclusion
		                        			CEMP is an efficient, rapid and accurate method for the detection of pathogens in patients with respiratory tract infections, and it will have a broad application prospect to develop reagents suitable for clinical diagnosis.
