Lung cancer is the most frequent cancer and the leading cause of cancer death all around the world. Anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) therapies have significantly improved the outcomes of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients in recent years. However, the objective response rate in non-screened patients is only about 20%. It is very important to screen out the potential patients suitable for immunotherapy. Immunohistochemical staining of tumor tissue biopsies with PD-L1 antibodies can predict the therapeutic response to immunotherapy to some extent, but it still has some limitations. Recently some clinical studies have shown that PD-L1 expression in circulating tumor cells (CTC-PD-L1) is a potential independent biomarker and may provide important information for immunotherapy in NSCLC. This article will review technology for CTC-PD-L1 detection and the predictive value of CTC-PD-L1 for immunotherapy in NSCLC and review the latest clinical research progress.

With the broad application of high-resolution computed tomography (CT) and high rates of early lung cancer screening, the number of patients diagnosed with synchronous multiple primary lung cancer (sMPLC) has been increasing. It becomes of great prominence to distinct sMPLC from intrapulmonary metastases in clinical practice. An increasing number of studies have developed high-throughput sequencing based genetic approaches to specify the molecular characteristics of sMPLC, which contributes to a better understanding of its tumorigenesis. The genetic profile of sMPLC also benefits its diagnosis, which mainly relies on its clinicopathological criteria. Here, we summarize the progresses on the diagnostic criteria for sMPLC, and also molecular features of sMPLC from the perspective of clonality analysis.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of pulmonary function changes and its possible influencing factors in patients with pneumoconiosis.Methods:In December 2019, pneumoconiosis patients hospitalized in four departments of occupational diseases in Hunan Occupational Disease Prevention and Control Hospital from December 2015 to December 2016 were selected as subjects. Lung function including forced vital capacity (FVC) , FVC%, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) , FEV1%, forced expiratory volume in one second / forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) , diffusion capacity of the lung foe carbon monoxide% (DLCO%) 、maximal expiratory rlow 75% (MEF75%) , maximal expiratory rlow 50% (MEF50%) and maximal expiratory rlow 25% (MEF25%) were tested, and collect their age, occupation history, smoking history and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Self Rating Questionnaire (CAT) score. They were followed up after 3 years to analyze the 3-year decline rates of lung function indicators and their relationship with stage of pneumoconiosis, age, smoking index, baseline values of lung function and CAT score.Results:265 cases were studied effectively. After 3 years, the values of 9 lung function indicators of pneumoconiosis patients were significantly lower than those of 3 years ago ( P<0.05) . The decline rates of FEV1%, FEV1/FVC, MEF75%, MEF50% and MEF25% were positively correlated with the stage of pneumoconiosis ( r=0.250, 0.290, 0.219, 0.280, 0.141, P<0.05) . The decline rates of FEV1% and MEF75% were positively correlated with smoking index ( r=0.148, 0.152, P<0.05) . The decline rates of DLCO% and MEF25% were positively correlated with the baseline value of initial pulmonary function ( r=0.276, 0.153, P<0.05) , while the decline rates of FEV1%, FEV1/FVC and MEF50% were negatively correlated with the baseline values of initial pulmonary function ( r=-0.215, -0.146, -0.214, P<0.05) . The decline rates of FVC%, FEV1%, MEF75% and MEF50% were positively correlated with the changes of CAT scores ( r=0.147, 0.208, 0.210, 0.196, P<0.05) . Logistic regression analysis showed that old age and high initial value of DLCO% were the risk factor for the decline of DLCO% ( OR=1.105、1.078, P<0.05) .High smoking index was the risk factors for the decline of MEF75% ( OR=1.016, P<0.05) . High stage and the increase of CAT score were the risk factors for the decline of MEF50% ( OR=1.548, 1.162, P<0.05) . High initial value of MEF25% was the risk factor for the decline of MEF25% ( OR=1.010, P<0.05) . Conclusion:The pulmonary function index of pneumoconiosis patients declined significantly in 3 years. The stage of pneumoconiosis, age, smoking index and degree of pulmonary function damage were related to the decline rate of pulmonary function.

Objective: To investigate the safety and influencing factors of ct-guided percutaneous lung biopsy in pneumoconiosis patients. Methods: The data of 63 patients with pneumoconiosis who underwent ct-guided percutaneous lung biopsy in our hospital were studied to analyze the incidence of complications and influencing factors of percutaneous lung biopsy. Results: 63 cases of pneumoconiosis patients received CT guided percutaneous lung biopsy. There were 29 cases of complications (46.03%) , including 20 pneumothorax (37.75%) , 12 bleeding (19.05%) , and 3 cases of liquid pneumothorax (4.76%) . The single factor chi square analysis showed that there were significant differences in age, depth of focus, puncture position and puncture times (P<0.05) , and there was significant difference between the occurrence of hemorrhage and age, type of focus, size of focus, and the location of puncture site (P<0.05) . The unconditional LogisticL multiple factor regression analysis showed that the depth of the lesion was an independent risk factor for concurrency pneumothorax, and the size of the lesion was an independent risk factor for bleeding. Conclusion Complications of CT-guided percutaneous pulmonary biopsy are mainly pneumothorax and hemorrhage. Age, focus type, focus size, focus depth, puncture site, and puncture times are all the factors of complications.

Objective: To investigate the compliance of inhalation during stable phase of pneumoconiosis complicated with COPD and to explore the factors influencing compliance. Methods: The patients with pneumoconiosis complicated with COPD who were hospitalized in the four Department of occupational disease prevention and treatment in Hunan province from December 2016 to August 2017 were selected as the research subjects. The examination of Chest radiograph, HRCT and lung function was perfected, and CAT score and MRC score were carried out. The age, culture, smoking history, acute aggravation of 1 years, medical insurance and so on were collected, and follow-up was conducted after 6 months. Results: Of the 115 patients who had successfully followed up, 14 cases (12.17%) were persisted in medication, and 101 cases (87.83%) did not adhere to the medication. The smoking index median of the non adherence group was 30 (15, 40) , while that of the adherence group was 16 (6, 31) . The smoking index of the adherence group was lower than that of the non adherence group. The FEV1% in the unadhered group was 44.69+15.48, and the drug group was 37.12+16.98, the FEV₁/FVC in the unadhered group was 52.43+9.19, and the drug group was 44.43+11.88, and the lung function of the drug group was worse than that of the unadhered group. The adherence rate of group COPD (group D) was higher than that of group A, B and C, and the difference between D group and B group was statistically significant. The adherence rate of pneumoconiosis stage Ⅲ was higher than that of pneumoconiosis stageⅡand pneumoconiosisⅠ. Conclusion The compliance of long acting bronchodilator inhalation is low in stable phase of pneumoconiosis complicated with COPD. The poorer the lung function, the higher the compliance of inhalation. The compliance of pneumoconiosis patients with Medical insurance for industrial injury is higher than that of pneumoconiosis patients with New rural cooperative medical service.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of patients with acute leukemia (AL) in pregnancy.Methods The clinical data of 39 cases of acute leukemia in pregnancy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2010 to April 2017 were collected.The clinical characteristics and prognosis were analyzed retrospectively.Results Except one case diagnosed before pregnancy,the incidence rates of AL in early,middle and late stage of pregnancy were 23.7 ％ (9/38),52.6 ％ (20/38) and 23.7 ％ (9/38),respectively.31 patients received chemotherapy and the complete response (CR) rates of AL patients in early,middle and late stage of pregnancy were 71.4 ％ (5/7),94.1％ (16/17),and 100.0 ％ (7/7),respectively.Among all the cases,31 patients received a miscarriage or induction of labor,and 8 cases had live births delivered by cesarean section.Twenty-two patients had abnormal karyotypes,which was mainly related to specific chromosomal rearrangement.Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients expressed high levels of CD117,CD13,CD33,and CD38,and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients had high expression of CD19,CD38,CD22,cCD79a,and CD58.After induction therapy,10 cases got positive minimal residual disease (MRD),7 of which achieved CR.After that,4 cases recurred,and 7 cases died in total.On the other hand,all the 19 MRD-negative patients achieved CR.Then,5 cases recurred,and 9 cases died intotal.In all patients,29 were AML while the other 10 were ALL,the CR rates in AML and ALL were 95.7 ％ (22/23) and 75.0 ％ (6/8),and the 1-year and 2-year survival rate were 53.1％ and 26.4 ％,respectively.The survival rate of AML patients was higher than that of ALL patients.Conclusions The clinical characteristics of AL patients in pregnancy are complicated and comprehensive treatment is needed.MDR is an important indicator of prognosis,and the prognosis of ALL is worse than that of AML.

Objective    To explore the efficacy of a novel detection technique of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) to identify benign and malignant lung nodules. Methods     Nanomagnetic CTC detection based on polypeptide with epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM)-specific recognition was performed on enrolled patients with pulmonary nodules. There were 73 patients including 48 patients with malignant lesions as a malignant group and 25 patients with benign lesion as a benign group. There were 13 males and 35 females at age of 57.0±11.9 years in the malignant group and 11 males and 14 females at age of 53.1±13.2 years in the benign group. e calculated the differential diagnostic efficacy of CTC count, and conducted subgroup analysis according to the consolidation-tumor ratio, while compared with PET/CT on the efficacy. Results     CTC count of the malignant group was significantly higher than that of the benign group  (0.50/ml vs. 0.00/ml, P<0.05). Subgroup analysis according to consolidation tumor ratio (CTR) revealed that the difference was statistically significant in pure ground glass (pGGO) nodules 1.00/ml vs. 0.00/ml, P<0.05), but not in part-solid or pure solid nodules. For pGGO nodules, the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of CTC count was 0.833, which was significantly higher than that of maximum of standardized uptake value (SUVmax) (P<0.001). Its sensitivity and specificity was 80.0% and 83.3%, respectively. Conclusion     The peptide-based nanomagnetic CTC detection system can differentiate malignant tumor and benign lesions in pulmonary nodules presented as pGGO. It is of great clinical potential as a noninvasive, nonradiating method to identify malignancies in pulmonary nodules.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy in the treatment of unilateral micrognath ia by using EAM medical resin and hydroxyapatite (EH) composite material combined with the CAD/ CAM technique.Methods From July 2011 to October 2015,12 cases of unilateral micrognathia caused by different reasons were treated,based on the representative traits and requirements,refering to the unsymmetric counter part by right of CAD/CAM technique.By the 3-dimensional design and reconstruction,we reformed the EH composite material into purposed shape,and insert it in the operative area.Results All the materials were closely suitable to the mandible surfaces.1 case failed because the wound was torn apart;the other 11 patients recovered more than 6 months and were satisfied with the external appearance.Conclusions The EH composite materials combined with CAD/ CAM techniques could be a potential characterized remedy for the unilateral micrognathia.
