		                        			To develop a rapid differential detection method for porcine epidemic diarrhea virus(PEDV)and transmissible gastroenteritis virus(PEDV),M gene sequences of PEDV and TGEV were compared,the inner and outer primer pairs and probes were designed according to the highly conserved region.PEDV-Probe was labeled with FAM at5'end and BHQ1 at 3'end.TGEV-Probe was labeled with CY5.5 at the 5'end and BHQ2 at the 3'end.After optimizing the reaction condi-tions and system,a dual fluorescent RT-LAMP assay for PEDV and TGEV rapid identification was established.The amplification could be completed within 60 min in a 63 ℃ water bath and then stopped at 85 ℃ for 10 min.Then the tubes were placed in a multicolor imaging system,and the re-sults could be observed under 520 nm and 690 nm dual channels.There was no cross-reaction when other common swine viral pathogens were detected by this method.The sensitivity of the assay was evaluated with a 10-fold diluted recombinant plasmid as templates.The lowest detection limit was 102 copies/μL recombinant plasmid,which was 10 times more sensitive than the conventional RT-PCR method.Seventy-two PEDV-positive samples,49 TGEV-positive samples,and 40 PEDV and TGEV co-infected samples were detected from 175 anal swab samples of diarrheic piglets by the established method,which were all higher than the detection rates of the conventional RT-PCR method.The dual fluorescent RT-LAMP method established in this study can be used to amplify the target gene in an ordinary water bath without gel electrophoresis,which provides technical sup-port for rapid and convenient differential diagnosis of PED and TGE and simultaneous detection of PEDV and TGEV co-infection.

		                        			Objective    To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a central venous catheter for thoracic drainage after video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy compared with a conventional chest tube. Methods    This study collected 200 patients with lung cancer who underwent thoracoscopic lobectomy and systematic hilar and mediastinal lymph node dissection between January 2018 and September 2019 in our hospital. The patients were randomly divided into two groups, including a group A (left with 28F chest tubes postoperatively) and a group B (left with 12G central venous catheters postoperatively). Patients in both groups were left with 2 chest tubes after upper lobectomy and 1 chest tube after middle or lower lobectomy. Duration and total volume of drainage, length of hospital stay, maximum visual analogue scale score and so forth were compared between the two groups. Results    Finally, 151 patients were included for analysis. There were 73 patients in the group A, including 26 males and 47 females, with an average age of 55.38±9.95 years, and 78 patients in the group B, including 37 males and 41 females, with an average age of 59.86±10.18 years. No statistical  difference was found between the two groups in drainage volume on postoperative day 2, and proportion of prolonged air leaks, hemothorax, chylothorax or drain reinsertion (all P>0.05). There was a statistical difference in drainage volume on postoperative day 1 [200.0 (120.0, 280.0) mL vs. 57.5 (10.0, 157.5) mL, P=0.000], postoperative day 3 [155.0 (100.0, 210.0) mL vs. 150.0 (80.0, 215.0) mL, P=0.023], total volume of drainage [890.0 (597.5, 1 530.0) mL vs. 512.5 (302.5, 786.3) mL, P=0.000], maximum pain score (2.29±0.72 points vs. 2.09±0.51 points, P=0.013) and length of hospital stay [7 (7, 9) d vs. 5 (4, 7) d, P=0.000]. Conclusion    Compared with conventional chest tubes, central venous catheters for chest drainage in patients with lung cancer after thoracoscopic lobectomy shortens the length of hospital stay and reduces postoperative pain.

		                        			Objective:To investigate the application value of Hisense computer-assisted surgery system (CAS) three-dimensional reconstruction in the precision treatment of pediatric liver tumors.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 82 children with liver tumors who were admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2013 to September 2021 were collected. There were 39 males and 43 females, aged 13(19)months. Children underwent upper abdominal dynamic enhanced computed tomography (CT) examination, and three-dimensional reconstruction was performed on CT images of arterial, equili-brium and venous phases with Hisense CAS. Surgical feasibility and scheme were evaluated and conducted based on the results of upper abdominal dynamic enhanced CT examination, and then revised according to three-dimensional reconstruction results of Hisense CAS. Observation indicators: (1) comparison of surgical scheme between two-dimensional enhanced CT images and three-dimensional reconstruction results of Hisense CAS; (2) intraoperative and postoperative situations; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted by outpatient examination to detect postoperative compli-cations and residual liver compensation up to November 2021. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(IQR) or M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages. Results:(1) Comparison of surgical scheme between two-dimensional CT images and three-dimensional reconstruction results of Hisense CAS. ① Based on the two-dimensional CT images, 42 cases of 82 children could undergo one-stage resection and 40 children could not. However, based on the three-dimensional reconstruction results of Hisense CAS, 48 cases of 82 children could undergo one-stage resection and 34 children could not. There were 6 children with one-stage resection feasibility based on the three-dimensional reconstruction results of Hisense CAS rather than the two-dimensional CT images. For the 34 children undergoing chemotherapy firstly, 31 cases had surgical feasibility after chemotherapy based on the two-dimensional CT images and 3 cases could not undergo surgery because of unapparent tumor regression or tumor surrounding impor-tant vessels. However, the 34 children had surgical feasibility after chemotherapy based on the three-dimensional reconstruction results of Hisense CAS. The revision rate of surgical feasibility was 11.0%(9/82) for the 82 children. ② Based on the two-dimensional CT images, 15 cases of 82 children underwent liver left lobectomy, 21 cases underwent liver right lobectomy, 7 cases underwent mesohepatectomy, 13 cases underwent extended left hemihepatectomy, 23 cases underwent extended right hemihepatectomy, 3 cases underwent segmental hepatectomy. However, based on the three-dimensional reconstruction results of Hisense CAS, 20 cases of 82 children underwent liver left lobectomy, 29 cases underwent liver right lobectomy, 7 cases underwent mesohepatectomy, 7 cases underwent extended left hemihepatectomy, 14 cases underwent extended right hemihepatectomy, 5 cases underwent segmental hepatectomy. The revision rate of surgical scheme was 36.6%(30/82) for the 82 children. (2) Intraoperative and postoperative situations. The operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, duration of postoperative hospital stay of the 82 children were (182±18)minutes, 20(10)mL, (10.2±1.9)days, respectively. (3) Follow-up. All the 82 children were followed up for 10 (range, 2?18)months. There was no obvious complication occurred to the 82 children after surgery, and the residual liver can satisfy the liver compensation of body. All the children survived well.Conclusion:Three-dimensional reconstruction of Hisense CAS is conducive to judging the surgical feasibility and formulation of accurate surgical plan of children with liver tumors.

		                        			Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common and frequently-occurring disease of the respiratory system, characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow restriction, which is prone to attack repeatedly and affect patients' quality of life seriously. At present, the combination of bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroids is commonly used in clinic. Although these drugs can alleviate the symptoms of COPD patients, there are certain limitations of the difficulty in controlling the course of the disease effectively and reversing the decline of patients' lung function. Therefore, searching for safer and more effective therapeutic drugs has become a hot research topic nowadays. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has remarkable curative effects and advantages in the prevention and therapy of COPD recently. Based on the increasing research and application of the active components of TCM in the therapy of COPD, studies on their pharmacodynamic mechanism are also more in depth. More and more studies have found that the active components of TCM can treat COPD patients effectively, and the mechanism involved mainly includes the anti-inflammatory, the antioxidant, and the inhibition of apoptosis. By searching and screening the domestic and foreign literatures on the treatment of COPD with the active components of TCM in recent years, the active components of TCM including flavonoids, terpenoids, phenols and saponins have been studied as the research objects, and their effects in improving the pulmonary function and oxidative stress, relieving inflammation and inhibiting apoptosis are expounded. Besides, the mechanism of action, signaling pathways and index molecules have been emphatically summarized, in order to provide the ideas for the clinical therapy and the basic research of COPD.

		                        			Objective:To investigate the status quo of decision-making fatigue of parents of critically ill children and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide a theoretical basis for reducing the degree of decision-making fatigue of parents of critically ill children.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, parents of 310 critically ill children who were treated in 3 Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Henan Province were selected as the research objects from April 2020 to April 2021. The General Information Questionnaire, the Chinese version of Decision-making Fatigue Scale, Self-Control Scale and the Chinese version of Willpower Belief Measurement Questionnaire were used to conduct a questionnaire survey. Univariate and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors of decision-making fatigue in parents of critically ill children. A total of 310 questionnaires were distributed in this study and 302 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 97.42%.Results:The total score of decision-making fatigue of parents of 302 critically ill children was (9.13±1.73) , the total score of self-control was (53.41±7.29) and the total score of willpower belief was (22.67±3.64) . The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the relationship with the children, the length of ICU stay, the monthly family income, the presence or absence of sleep disorders, parental self-control and parental willpower beliefs were the influencing factors of decision-making fatigue in parents of critically ill children ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The decision-making fatigue level of parents of critically ill children is at a moderately low level, which is affected by a variety of factors. Medical workers should intervene according to specific circumstances to reduce the decision-making fatigue of parents of critically ill children and maximize the interests of the children.

		                        			Since the beginning of this century, three types of coronavirus have widely transmitted and caused severe diseases and deaths, which strongly indicates that severe infectious diseases caused by coronavirus infection are not accidental events. Coronavirus-infected diseases are mainly manifested by respiratory symptoms, with multiple organ dysfunctions. Precisely investigating the pathological process, characteristics and pathogenesis of coronavirus-infected diseases will be beneficial for us to understand clinical manifestations and provide targeted suggestions on prophylaxis and treatment. This paper briefly reviews the pathological findings of three known coronavirus-infected diseases, and attempts to construct the pathological spectrum of coronavirus-infected diseases, aiming to provide reference and thinking for autopsy, histopathological examination and animal infection model study of coronavirus-infected diseases.

		                        			The current standard of care in hematological malignancies has brought considerable clinical benefits to patients. However, important bottlenecks still limit optimal achievements following a current medical practice. The genetic complexity of the diseases and the heterogeneity of tumor clones cause difficulty in ensuring long-term efficacy of conventional treatments for most hematological disorders. Consequently, new treatment strategies are necessary to improve clinical outcomes. Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR T) immunotherapy opens a new path for targeted therapy of hematological malignancies. In this review, through a representative case study, we summarize the current experience of CAR T-cell therapy, the management of common side effects, the causative mechanisms of therapy resistance, and new strategies to improve the efficacy of CAR T-cell therapy.

In addition, when FMI or FMP beyond P90, the specificity of each abnormal lipid profiles was around 90%. Conclusions:The recommend cut-off points for body fat may be to assess children′s adiposity, and can be applied in preventive activities.
