[The derivation and validation of a scoring system for identifying patients with bronchiectasis at risk of exacerbations].
To create and verify a scoring system for identifying patients with bronchiectasis at risk of exacerbations. ⋯ Our scoring system was an efficient clinical predictive tool to identify patients with bronchiectasis at risk of exacerbations. It may be useful for early prevention of bronchiectasis exacerbations and for proper management.

[Novel biomarkers for latent tuberculosis infection by plasma proteomic profiling].
To screen specific biomarkers for latent tuberculosis infection by comparing the plasma proteomic profiling between latent tuberculosis infection and healthy controls. ⋯ There were differential plasma protein profiles between latent tuberculosis infection and healthy controls. Candidate proteins AAT, C3 and C4A were promising biomarkers for discriminating cases with latent tuberculosis infection from healthy persons.

Comparative Study[Outcomes after singleversus bilateral lung transplantation for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis].
To compare outcomes after single and bilateral lung transplantation in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). ⋯ The lung transplantationis an effective treatment for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, BLT could significantly improve the postoperative lung functionin comparison with STL, BLT may be a preferable operation for younger patients, especially if significant pulmonary hypertension is present.The short-term survival of BLT was similar to SLT, but long-term survivalstill needs further follow-up. Considering the quality of life, BLT is better than SLT.

[The distribution characteristics of etiology of chronic cough in Lanzhou].
To explore the distribution characteristics of etiology and clinical feature of chronic cough in Lanzhou. ⋯ In Lanzhou, cough variant asthma, upper airway cough syndrome, allergic cough, chronic pharyngitis and gastroesophageal reflux were the main causes of chronic cough, and the etiological distribution was different from Guangzhou, Beijing, Shenyang and other areas.

To explore the techniques and related complication management of airway metal stents removal with rigid bronchoscope under general anesthesia. ⋯ Airway metal stent removal is a high-risk operation. Indications for stents removal should be evaluated thoroughly and all the advantages and disadvantages should be evaluated. Once stent removal is decided, the type of the metal stent, the position of the stent implanted, the duration of stenting, and the extent of the stent embedded in granulation tissue should be carefully considered to assess the difficulty of the procedure. Dissection of the stent from the airway wall before extracting it can reduce complications such as airway bleeding, mucosal tear and airway obstruction. At the same time, a standby stent is needed to deal with possible airway collapse after stent removal. Removal of metal airway stents should only be performed by a proficient and experienced interventional pulmonology team to ensure successful operation and to improve patient safety.
