ered, expandable, hinged stent was inserted into the intermediate trunk bronchial stump through rigid bronchoscope, and was successfully blocked. Due to no improvement in ARDS and irreversible pulmonary interstitial fibrosis, the patient received double lung transplantation successfully after systemic anti-infection treatment.
Endoscopic implantation of covered stent is a simple, safe and effective method for closure of bronchial stump fistula. When the patient's clinical situation is not suitable for immediate surgery, endoscopic stent implantation can be used as a preferred treatment method to create opportunities for follow-up treatment.

However, the relationship between the expression of PD-L1 and the immunotherapy efficacy is not always consistent in different cases. Some patients who are PD-L1 negative still can benefit from immunosuppressive therapy, while some non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with PD-L1 positive, even strongly positive, can not. Therefore, PD-L1 is not a completely reliable immunotherapy biomarker. Tumor mutation burden (TMB) estimated by whole exome sequencing (WES) is a biomarker recently approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In this paper, we briefly reviewed the factors that result in the variaty of TMB in order to improve the reliability of the TMB and help clinicians to select patients who can get benefit from immunotherapy more wisely.
.Even patients after standard surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy still have a high risk of recurrence and metastasis. With the success of immunotherapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the application of immunotherapy in locally advanced NSCLC has being investigated to reduce the recurrence and metastasis. Pre-clinical studies and several phase II clinical studies had provided theoretical support and clinical evidence for neoadjuvant immunotherapy for NSCLC. This review describes the mechanism of neoadjuvant immuno-chemotherapy, summarizes up-to-date clinical studies, and analyzes efficiency and feasibility of neoadjuvant immune monotherapy or immuno-chemotherapy. Results from four studies (NCT02259621, NEOSTAR, LCMC3 and ChiCTR-OIC-17013726) showed efficiency and feasibility of neoadjuvant anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) monotherapy. Neoadjuvant nivolumab plus ipilimumab achieved higher major pathological response rate than nivolumab monotherapy. However, the combination of nivolumab plus ipilimumab led to more severe adverse events as is seen in the NEOSTAR trial. Results from NCT02716038, SAKK 16/14 and NADIM studies suggest that the pathological response rate of neoadjuvant immune-chemotherapy is higher than neoadjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy. This review also elaborates the mechanism of chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy, and discusses the efficacy evaluation after neoadjuvant immunotherapy.
.Lung cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest mortality rate in the world. Heterogeneity of lung cancer, usually studied by sequencing technology, is considered to have important clinical significance in current studies. However, general sequencing technology can only explain the differences between samples integrally and its resolution is not enough to describe the differences between the individual cells. Therefore, people urgently hope to understand the cell type, state, subgroup distribution in the tumor microenvironment and the communication behavior between cells in the single cell level. Single-cell sequencing technology solves this problem. Using this technique will contribute to further understanding the mechanism of the occurrence and development of lung cancer, discovering new diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets, and providing theoretical references for the precise treatment of lung cancer patients in the future. SQ22536 This article reviews the progress of single-cell sequencing technology and focuses on its research on lung cancer tumor heterogeneity, tumor microenvironment, invasion and metastasis, treatment response, and drug resistance.
.Hyperprogressive disease (HPD) is a novel pattern of progression caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). It is characterized by a dramatic tumor surge and is associated with poor clinical outcomes. Up to now, the definition of HPD is still controversial across various studies. Although it has been indicated that HPD has related to multiple clinicopathological features and genetic alterations, it is lack of biomarker to predict its occurrence, and the potential mechanism remains unknown. This review is to summarize current data on HPD specialized in the field of non-small cell lung cancer. And we expect to provide helpful clinical strategies for oncologists using ICIs.
.Lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death. Although great progress has been made in chemotherapy, radiotherapy and targeted therapy, the emergence of acquired drug resistance hinders the efficacy of clinical treatment. Studies have shown that tumor is a class of diseases with damaged cell cycle regulation mechanism, in which checkpoint kinase (Chk) plays a core role, Chk1 and Chk2 are very important protein kinases in the checkpoint. In recent years, it has been found that the regulation of Chk1 and Chk2 plays an important role in the clinical treatment and drug resistance mechanism of lung cancer. This article reviews the mechanism of cell cycle checkpoint kinase and drug resistance of lung cancer, and expounds the effective therapeutic targets and methods of lung cancer.

Lung cancer is the most common malignancy world-wide. There are a variety of immune infiltrating cells in tumor microenvironment, which is an important component of tumor immunity and has clinical significance for the prognosis of patients. CD45RO is a surface marker of memory T cells. The expression of CD45RO⁺ tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) is associated with the prognosis of many tumors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the density of CD45RO⁺ TILs in tumor and stromal area and the clinical characteristics of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its impact on the prognosis of patients. We aimed to explore the clinical value of CD45RO⁺ TILs and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) as prognostic markers.
Multiple fluorescent immunohistochemical staining was used to stain the tissue microarray chips of 167 patients with NSCLC, marking CD45RO, cytokeratin (CK) and PD-L1. Using artificial intelligence image recognition technology and tumor cell-specific CK staining, divide the tumor and stromal area in the tissue, evaluate the density of CD45RO⁺ TILs in the tumor and stromal area, and the expression level of PD-L1 in tumor cells.
