ObjectiveTo summarize the clinical features of pulmonary mucoepidermoid carcinoma (PMEC) and improve the level of the diagnosis and therapy.MethodsA case of PMEC was reported and related literatures were reviewed in PubMed, WanFang data and China National Knowledge Infrastructure.ResultsA 21-year-old female patient, complaining of cough and expectoration for 5 months, intermittent hemoptysis for 3 months and repeated fever more than 4 days, was hospitalized in March 2017. After admission, the patient was diagnosed as low-grade PMEC and received anti-infection, fibrobronchoscope sputum aspiration and alveolar lavage therapy. During the hospitalization, the anti-infection of the patients was not much effective, and the chest CT examination suggested space-occupying lesions in the middle lobe of the right lung. After the surgical removal of the right lung, the syndrome of the patient was improved. A total of 13 patients were reviewed, there was no obvious gender difference, and the median age was about 40 years old (most frequently occurred in younger adults with an average age less than 50 years). Frequent clinical manifestations were cough, fever and hemoptysis, which were often accompanied with atelectasis. Most of the patients could be improved after surgical resection, and a few need comprehensive treatment including radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted treatment, etc.ConclusionsPMEC is rare and the etiology is still unclear. The pathology is mainly low-grade. Majority of patients with PMEC could be cured after surgical resection.
The great clinical efficacy of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program has been illustrated by the decreased incidence of perioperative complications and the shortened length of in-hospital stay. Furthermore, the ERAS programs have their own key techniques and strategies in the clinical application to the unique diseases and operative modes. The key technology of an ERAS program is the minimally invasive surgery, which has been widely utilized in the surgical specialties. The main strategy in an ERAS program consists of the intensive pulmonary rehabilitation and optimal perioperative care that aim to improve the in-hospital outcomes of lung cancer patients who are considered at high surgical risk. Pulmonary rehabilitation is regarded as the mainstay of the ERAS strategies but its clinical protocols still remain less mature. The purpose of this overview is to summarize the current pulmonary rehabilitation programs in terms of the suitable crowd, the feasible protocols and the clinical significance.

Objective To evaluate the validity of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) pneumonectomy in thoracic diseases treatment. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 34 consecutive patients who underwent VATS pneumonectomy in Xiangya Hospital Central South University between January 2013 and October 2015. There were 26 males and 8 females at age of 35–69 (53.8±7.7) years. Results VATS pneumonectomy was completed successfully in 32 patients (5.8% conversion rate). The average operation time was 182.5±52.4 min. The average blood loss was 217.1±1 834.8 ml. Chest tube drainage flow was 3–11 (6.0±1.7) days and postoperative hospital stay was 5–12 (7.6±1.8) days. Eleven patients got postoperative complications (34.3%), mainly pulmonary infections. The 32 patients were followed up for 10 (1–21) months. Two patients died of lung metastasis 16 or 17 months after the operation. One patient died of sudden cardiac arrest 3 months after operation. Bronchopleural fistula (BPF) happened in one patient after hospital discharge in 2 months. Conclusion VATS is feasible for pneumonectomy. However, further studies and follow-up are needed to verify the benefits of VATS pneumonectomy for lung cancer.
ObjectiveTo investigate the predictive value of preoperative radiological features on spread through air spaces (STAS) in stage cⅠA lung adenocarcinoma with predominant ground-glass opacity, and to provide a basis for the selection of surgical methods for these patients.MethodsThe clinical data of 768 patients with stage cⅠA lung adenocarcinoma undergoing operation in our hospital from 2017 to 2018 were reviewed, and 333 early stage lung adenocarcinoma patients with predominant ground-glass opacity were selected. There were 92 males and 241 females, with an average age of 57.0±10.0 years. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 22.0.ResultsSTAS-positive patients were mostly invasive adenocarcinoma (P=0.037), and had more micropapillary component (P<0.001) and more epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations (P=0.020). There were no statistically significant differences between the STAS-positive and STAS-negative patients in other clinicopathological features. Univariate analysis showed that the maximum diameter of tumor in lung window (P=0.029), roundness (P=0.035), maximum diameter of solid tumor component in lung window (P<0.001), consolidation/tumor ratio (CTR, P<0.001), maximum area of the tumor in mediastinum window (P=0.001), tumor disappearance ratio (TDR, P<0.001), average CT value (P=0.001) and lobulation sign (P=0.038) were risk factors for STAS positive. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the CTR was an independent predictor of STAS (OR=1.05, 95%CI 1.02 to 1.07, P<0.001), and the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was 0.71 (95%CI 0.58 to 0.85, P=0.002). When the cutoff value was 19%, the sensitivity of predicting STAS was 66.7%, and the specificity was 75.2%.ConclusionCTR is a good radiological feature to predict the occurrence of STAS in early lung adenocarcinoma with predominant ground-glass opacity. For the stagecⅠA lung adenocarcinoma with predominant ground-glass opacity and CTR ≥19%, the possibility of STAS positive is greater, and sublobar resection needs to be carefully considered.
Lung segmentation is the premise of the computer aided diagnosis of lung cancer. The traditional segmentation method based on local low-level features can not get the correct result when a tumor is connected with pleura due to their similar computed tomography (CT) values. Moreover, because the big size of tumor leads to the loss of a large part of lung area, the traditional segmentation methods of lung with juxta-pleural nodule whose diameter is less than 3 cm are not suitable. Acitve shape model (ASM) combined with prior shape and low level features might be appropriate. But the search steps in conventional ASM is an optimization method based on the least square, which is sensitive to outlier marker points, and it makes profile update to the transition area of normal lung tissue and tumor rather than a true lung contour. To solve the problem, we proposed an improved ASM algorithm. Firstly, we identified these outlier marker points by distance, and then gave the different searching functions to the abnormal and normal marker points. And the search processing should be limited in volume of interesting (VOI). We selected 30 lung images with juxta-pleural tumors, and got the overlap rate with the gold standard as 93.6%. The experimental results showed that the improved ASM could get good segmentation results for the lungs with juxta-pleural tumors, and the running time of the algorithm could be tolerated in clinical.
ObjectiveTo explore the independent risk factors for postoperative retention of urinary catheters in the ward of lung tumor patients due to urinary retention under the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS).MethodsSeventy-five patients with lung tumors who had urinary catheters left in the postoperative ward between June 2019 and August 2019 were selected as a case group, and 75 patients with lung tumors who did not have urinary catheters in the perioperative period as a control group. Independent risk factors for indwelling urinary catheters in the postoperative ward were screened by univariate and multiple-variate logistic stepwise regression analysis.ResultsThere were 45 males and 30 females in the case group with an average age of 55.33±10.78 years, 28 males and 47 females in the control group with an average age of 57.12±10.06 years. Univariate analysis showed that gender, operative time>2 h, intraoperative fluid volume≥1 200 mL, and fluid volume within 6 h of returning to the ward after surgery>1 200 mL were associated with the occurrence of indwelling urinary catheters in patients with lung tumors in postoperative wards (P<0.05). Multiple-variate logistic regression showed that male (OR=2.311, 95%CI 1.173-4.552, P=0.015), infusion volume within 6 h of returning to the ward after surgery>1 200 mL (OR=2.491, 95%CI 1.149-5.401, P=0.021) and intraoperative infusion volume≥1 200 mL (OR=2.105, 95%CI 1.022-4.340, P=0.044) were independent risk factors for postoperative retention of urinary catheters in patients with lung tumors.ConclusionThe occurrence of indwelling urinary catheter in lung tumor patients under the ERAS concept is the result of a combination of factors, and patients who are male, have infusion volume>1 200 mL within 6 h of returning to the ward after surgery, and have intraoperative infusion volume≥1 200mL are the high-risk group for postoperative ward indwelling urinary catheter, and health care personnel should strengthen the assessment and observation, provide targeted health education, appropriately control the perioperative fluid volume, and take other measures to reduce the occurrence of indwelling urinary catheters due to urinary retention postoperatively in ward.
