Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare and yet serious central nervous system disorder due to JC viral infection.PML occurs predominantly in immunocompromised individuals, including solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients.Clinically, SOT-related PML commonly presents as cognitive and behavioral impairments. Pathologically, PML is characterized by multifocal demyelinating lesions, with neuroimaging technique typically revealing white matter damage in the temporoparietal regions. Clinical diagnosis usually involves integrating clinical manifestations, cranial magnetic resonance imaging, and detection of JC virus in cerebrospinal fluid. Currently, specific medications for PML are lacking, and the treatment mainly relies on supportive care and immunomodulatory strategies. The prognosis of PML remains unfavorable, early diagnosis and enhanced adaptive immune responses are crucial for PML management in SOT recipients.
ObjectiveTo analyze the changes of postoperative pulmonary function in lung transplant recipients. MethodsClinical data of 81 recipients undergoing bilateral lung transplantation and combined heart-lung transplantation were collected, and postoperative status of the recipients was analyzed. Pulmonary ventilation and diffusion function indexes at 1 month, 3 months, every 3 months (3-18 months after lung transplantation) and every 6 months (18-36 months after lung transplantation) were analyzed in the recipients. The characteristics of the optimal pulmonary function in the recipients were assessed. ResultsPostoperative mechanical ventilation time was 4 (2, 9) d, and the length of postoperative ICU stay was 10 (7, 20) d. Among 81 recipients, 27 recipients developed primary graft dysfunction (PGD) after lung transplantation, with an incidence rate of 33%. Postoperative forced vital capacity to predicted value ratio (FVC%pred), forced expiratory volume in one second to predicted value ratio (FEV1%pred), forced vital capacity/forced expiratory volume in one second to predicted value ratio (FEV1/FVC%pred) and corrected diffusion lung capacity for CO to predicted value ratio (DLCOc%pred) were changed over time (all P<0.001). FVC%pred and FEV1%pred were gradually increased within postoperative 9 months, and DLCOc%pred was gradually elevated within postoperative 3 months (both P<0.05). Thirty-six recipients had FVC%pred≥80%, FEV1%pred≥80% in 41 cases, FEV1/FVC%pred≥92% in 76 cases, FVC%pred≤40% in 1 cases and FEV1%pred≤40% in 1 cases, respectively. Sixteen recipients had DLCOc%pred≥80%, corrected diffusion lung capacity for CO/alveolar volume to predicted value ratio (DLCOc/VA%pred) ≥80% in 63, DLCOc%pred≤40% in 4 cases and DLCOc/VA%pred≤40% in 1 cases, respectively. Postoperative FVC%pred, FEV1/FVC%pred and DLCOc%pred in patients with a primary disease of obstructive pulmonary disease were significantly higher than those in their counterparts with restrictive pulmonary disease (all P<0.05). Postoperative DLCOc%pred in recipients with PGD was significantly lower than that in those without PGD (P<0.05). ConclusionsPulmonary ventilation function in lung transplant recipients reaches the optimal state and maintains a steady state at postoperative 9 months, and pulmonary diffusion function reaches a steady state at postoperative 3 months. Primary diseases and the incidence of PGD may affect postoperative pulmonary function.
Since an outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019, there have been more than 664 million confirmed cases and more than 6.7 million deaths worldwide.The Omicron variant discovered in November 2021 has become a dominant variant in China.Compared with the general population, Omicron infection mainly presents short-term upper respiratory symptoms followed by quick recovery; solid organ transplant recipients have the characteristics of a high incidence of severe disease and high mortality after infection, and the incidence of secondary infection and rebound positivity is significantly higher than that of the general population.This review focused upon preventive strategies of solid organ transplant recipients from the perspectives of the characteristics of organ transplant recipients, general preventive strategies, vaccination and long-acting neutralizing antibodies.
In recent years, organ transplantation in our country has witnessed significant growth. However, rejection reactions remain the primary complications affecting graft function and survival rates. Long-term immunosuppressive therapy is the most effective method for preventing rejection reactions. Nevertheless, currently used immunosuppressive agents such as mycophenolate mofetil have notable side effects, leading to many patients being unable to tolerate these side effects, thereby necessitating dose reduction or discontinuation. This, in turn, increases the risk of rejection reactions, ultimately resulting in graft failure. Mizoribine is an immunosuppressant that can concurrently inhibit the proliferation and differentiation of both T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes, with relatively fewer side effects. In recent years, it has been widely employed in the maintenance immunosuppressive therapy following kidney, liver, and other organ transplantations. Although Mizoribine has not yet been applied in the lung transplantation, clinical research evidence from the liver and kidney transplantation present some indications for its application in the lung transplantation, which is worthy of clinical attention and further research.
患者,男,56岁,169 cm,50 kg,ASA Ⅳ级,因"反复咳嗽咳痰9年,气促4年,加重2个月"入院.2个月前咳痰、气促明显加重,予气管插管呼吸机辅助通气、抗感染、祛痰、平喘等治疗,后顺利拔除气管插管,予无创通气.既往患有焦虑症2年,长期吸烟史,约20支/天,已戒烟2个月.查体:肋间隙增宽、双肺呼吸音低.术前心脏彩超检查:三尖瓣轻度反流,左心室收缩功能正常.胸部CT检查:肺气肿,两肺多发肺大疱.术前诊断:(1)慢性阻塞性肺疾病;(2)Ⅱ型呼吸衰竭;(3)冠状动脉粥样硬化;(4)焦虑症.患者终末期肺病,经内科治疗无效,拟全麻下行序贯双肺移植术( bilateral lung transplantation, BLT).
肺移植是终末期肺痰病患者唯一有效的治疗手段,但肺移植受者的长期存活率仍较低。随着细菌16s核糖体小亚基RNA(rRNA)基因测序、高通量测序技术的发展,呼吸道样本中微生物的相对丰度得以量化,潜在病原体和共生环境也得以识别,揭示了健康肺部存在丰富的菌群。越来越多的证据表明,肺部菌群不仅可以调节肺部免疫稳态,而且在多种呼吸系统疾病的发生与发展中起重要作用。肺移植受者的肺部菌群有异于健康人群,并与其术后并发症及预后相关。本文对近年来国际上关于肺移植受者的肺部菌群特点及其与肺部感染、慢性排斥反应的关系进行综述,以期为肺移植术后并发症的发生与诊治提供新的思路。
Recent studies demonstrate that, the close interactions between pericytes (PCs) and various cells (such as cancer cells, stromal cells and immune cells) in tumor microenvironment (TME) can build an immunosuppressive TME to favor cancer growth and progression by modulating tumor angiogenesis and dysfunction via abnormal paracrine signaling pathways. In this review, we focused on recent advances in non-small-cell-lung-cancer to understand the regulatory role of PCs in TME and discussed the potential value of targeting PCs for inhibiting tumor angiogenesis and normalizing tumor vasculature to remodel TME, indicating that we can break through the dilemma of combined anti vascular therapy for solid tumors at this stage by targeting the normalization of tumor blood vessels of PCs. This may be a new strategy that could be used combinedly to improve chemotherapy, small molecule inhibitor targeted therapy or immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy.

Objective:To explore the incidence, clinical characteristics and prognosis of invasive pulmonary fungal infection(IPFI)in recipients of lung transplantation(LT)in southern China.Methods:From January 2003 to August 2019, retrospective analysis was performed for 300 recipients of lung transplantation at three hospitals in southern China. There were 254 males and 46 females with an average age of (54.98±14.2)years. Clinical data were collected from medical records, including symptoms and signs, imaging studies, bronchoscopy examination, pathogen separation and culture from deep sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF), fungal-related laboratory tests and tissue pathology.Results:Among 300 cases, 93(31.0%)had at least one episode of IPFI. The most common pathogen was aspergillosis(60.2%), followed by candida(15 cases, 16.1%)and Pneumocystis jeroveci (13 cases, 14.0%). Kaplan Meier analysis indicated that all-cause mortality was significantly higher in IPFI group than that in non-IPFI(nIPFI)group with one-year mortality of 45.2% vs. 26.7% in IPFI and nIPFI groups respectively( P<0.05). Conclusions:IPFI is prevalent after LT in southern China. And aspergillosis is the most common pathogen and Candida comes the next. The median occurring time for aspergillosis is 6 months after LT. Candida infection occurs earlier at airway anastomosis. A higher incidence of invasive fungal disease(IFD)associated with a lower survival indicates that IPFI has a substantial mortality among recipients after LT. Prophylactic agents should be optimized based upon an epidemiologically likely pathogen.

Objective:To investigate epidemiology of CMV-IgG in thoracic organ transplantation (TOT) donors and recipients, as well as the incidence of CMV infection and CMV disease in recipients and analyze the prognosis.Methods:The study retrospectively analyzed the recipients who undergone TOT from January 1, 2003 to April 30, 2020 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University. Clinical data were collected from the medical records which mainly included: serum CMV-immunoglobin (IgG) between donor (D) and recipient (R) pre-transplants, symptoms and signs, imaging performance, serum and bronchial alveolar lavage fluid levels of CMV-DNA and tissue biopsy.Results:With excluding of 13 cases of incomplete data, the study recruited 301 cases with TOT, comprising of 269 lung transplants, 19 heart transplants, and 16 heart and lung combined transplants. CMV-IgG information of donors and recipients were analyzed in the 301 cases. Serum CMV-IgG was positive in 87.0% (262/301) of recipients and 85.0% (256/301) of donors. According to the risk stratification of primary CMV infection, the proportions of high-risk (donor positive/recipient negative, D+ /R-), intermediate-risk (donor positive/recipient positive), low-risk (donor negative/recipient positive) and very low-risk (donor negative/recipient negative) were 6.0% (18/301), 79.1% (238/301), 8.0% (24/301) and 7.0% (21/301), respectively, and there were no significant differences in the proportions of the above types in different types of transplant recipients (P>0.05 for all). Another 12 recipients were excluded from the further analysis who were died with 14 days post-transplantation, based on the exclusion criteria of this study. Thus, a total of 289 recipients were analyzed for the epidemiology of CMV infection and CMV diseases. There were 177 (61.2%) recipients whose serum CMV-DNA were positive at least once and 49 (17.0%) recipients who were diagnosed with CMV disease, with the incidence of CMV disease being presented highest in D+ R- group. As of April 30, 2020, 289 recipients were followed up for 651 days (14-3 652 days). The all-cause mortality was 67.4% in CMV disease group and 35.8% in non-CMV disease group, respectively (χ2=15.4, P<0.05).Conclusions:Only 6.0% recipients with TOT were at higher risk, and most of the recipients (87.0%) were at moderate-mild risk of primary CMV infection, based on the serological stratification. Most of the TOT recipients (61.2%) had at least once serum CMV-DNA positive post-operation, with 17% of the TOT recipients suffering from CMV disease. The all-cause mortality was significantly higher in CMV disease group than that of the non-CMV disease group.
目前,肺癌仍是全世界范围内癌症相关死亡的主要原因.早期肺癌可以实现治愈,而晚期肺癌患者的5年生存率极低,因此早诊早治是提高生存率的关键.既往研究已经证实了运用低剂量CT对肺癌高危人群进行筛查可降低肺癌相关死亡率,但肺癌早期诊治策略仍有许多问题亟需解决,如高危人群的选择和肺结节良恶性的鉴别判断尚欠精准.本研究总结近年来本课题组在肺癌早筛早诊方面的有关工作,并对相关研究进展进行综述,包括利用数据挖掘及队列孟德尔随机分析等手段探索新的肺癌高危因素,研发人工智能及血浆游离DNA检测等工具辅助高危结节的鉴别诊断和处理,以及开发药物治疗极早期肺癌的新手段等,希望为肺癌早筛早诊的临床实践及科研方向提供思路.
Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is one of the most serious complications after solid organ transplantation (SOT). PTLD seriously affects the survival time of transplant recipients, the incidence of PTLD is related to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection and suppression of immune function, and histopathology is the gold standard for its diagnosis. Current treatment options include dose-reduction of immunosuppressant, rituximab, EBV specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte infusion and chemotherapy, and so on, but the overall prognosis of PTLD patients is still poor. This review mainly summarizes the research progress of PTLD after SOT in recent years, in order to diagnose the occurrence of PTLD after SOT better, and provide theoretical and practical guidance for early intervention.
Objective:To explore the clinical manifestations and imaging features of nocardia infection (NI) after lung transplantation and boost the diagnosis and treatment of NI.Methods:From January 2018 to December 2019, basic profiles, clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, imaging features and treatment outcomes of 5 lung transplant recipients with a diagnosis of NF were retrospectively analyzed and summarized with the relevant literatures. There were 4 males and 1 female with a median age of 66(26-69) years. 3 patients were single-lung transplantation, 2 patients were bilateral-lung transplantation. The median time from an initial diagnosis of NI to lung transplant surgery was 6(5-19) months. Common symptoms included fever, cough with yellow phlegm and shortness of breath. Laboratory findings showed lymphopenia, significantly high C-reactive protein levels, a slight elevation of procalcitonin, hypoproteinemia and anemia. The major manifestations of high-resolution computed tomography (CT) included multiple nodules, consolidation, cavitation and pleural effusion.Results:Five strains of N. farcinica were identified from bloodstream infection ( n=2) and pulmonary infection ( n=3). After with a combined therapy of two sensitive agents, all patients improved and were discharged from hospital. During follow-ups, one patient died and the remainders were cured. Conclusions:Nocardia infection occurs in lung transplant recipients mostly within 1 year post-operation. There are non-specific symptoms and imaging features of multiple nodules and consolidation. Combination therapy of sensitive agents is indicated for lung transplant recipients with NI.
