Background And Objective: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy is now generally accepted for patients with lung cancer. The aim of this study is to review the technology of thoracoscopic lobectomy with single utility port in the treatment of peripheral lung cancer.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 87 patients with peripheral lung cancer who underwent single utility port complete VATS lobectomy from February 2011 to January 2013 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University (single utility port group), and compared them with 75 patients with peripheral lung cancer who underwent conventional, 3-port VATS lobectomy in the same period (3-port group). The clinical outcomes including operation time, time to first activity out of bed, postoperative hospital stay, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, chest drainage duration, lymph node dissection number, postoperative complications and degree of chest pain were compared between the two groups.
Results: No perioperative death was observed in both groups. There was no statistical difference in operation time (151.03±25.97 min vs 156.27±26.49 min), lymph node dissection number (13.06±1.36 vs 12.61±1.56), intraoperative blood loss (188.62±47.03 mL vs 179.60±28.96 mL) and incidence of serious postoperative complications (18/87 vs 21/75) between the two groups. There were statistical differences in time to first activity out of bed (11.17±8.69 h vs 13.76±7.43 h), postoperative hospital stay (7.18±1.95 d vs 7.92±2.03 d), chest drainage duration (3.85±1.21 d vs 4.43±1.43 d) and total postoperative drainage volume (671.49±178.31 mL vs 736.93±170.39 mL) between the two groups (P<0.05). The change of vision analogue score (VAS) score between the two groups after operation was also statistically significant (P<0.01).
Conclusions: The completely thoracoscopic lobectomy with single utility port is a safe and feasible surgical procedure compared with conventional 3-port VATS lobectomy for selected patients.

The global outbreak of COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has been linked to long-term neurological complications, including an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) among older adults. However, the precise genetic impact of COVID-19 on long-term AD development remains unclear. This study leveraged genome-wide association study (GWAS) data and genotype data to explore the genetic association between AD and various COVID-19 phenotypes across European ancestry (EA) and African ancestry (AA) cohorts, and the possibility of a causal effect of COVID-19 on AD.

However, peripheral blood CD8 T cells have not been previously characterized in CAV. This study aimed to identify potentially pathogenic circulating CD8 T cell populations in high grade CAV patients using cellular indexing of transcriptomes and epitopes by sequencing (CITE-seq).

Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of telomere length measurements as diagnostic biomarkers during early screening for lung cancer in high-risk patients.
Methods: This was a prospective study of patients undergoing lung cancer diagnosis at two Spanish hospitals between April 2017 and January 2020. Telomeres from peripheral blood lymphocytes were analysed by Telomere Analysis Technology, which is based in high-throughput quantitative fluorescent in situ hybridization.
Clinical Profile and Pulmonary Function of Pediatric Patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy at a Tertiary Government Hospital.

Division of Pediatric Pulmonology, Department of Pediatrics, Philippine General Hospital, University of the Philippines Manila.
Objective: Our study aimed to determine the clinical profile and pulmonary function of pediatric patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). We also characterized the stages of progression of the disease and determined their potential association with spirometry variables.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we used data obtained from a review of medical records of all pediatric patients (0-18 years old) with DMD seen in a multidisciplinary neuromuscular clinic of a tertiary government hospital from August 2018 until March 2020.

Background: Peanut allergy (PA) is one of the most prevalent food allergies with a lack of favorable safety/efficacy treatment. A cucumber mosaic virus-like particle expressing peanut allergen component Ara h 2 (VLP Peanut) has been developed as a novel therapeutic approach for PA.
Objective: We assessed the tolerogenic properties and reactivity of VLP Peanut.
