[The value of simplified pulmonary embolism severity index and biomarkers in evaluating pulmonary embolism prognosis].
To evaluate the value of simplified pulmonary embolism severity index (sPESI) , brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and high-sensitivity troponin I (hs-TnI) in predicting the short-term and long-term prognosis of patients with acute pulmonary embolism. ⋯ sPESI could reflect overall risk of pulmonary embolism.It had a high value in the evaluation of pulmonary embolism prognosis, especially for long-term prognosis.It should be integrated into the risk stratification strategy of pulmonary embolism.In the evaluation of short-term prognosis, BNP and hs-TnI were the best indicators, and the combination of BNP, hs-TnI and sPESI could further improve the prognostic value.

[Endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial lung biopsy with guide-sheath for the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions].
To evaluate the diagnostic yield and safety of endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial lung biopsy with guide-sheath (EBUS-GS-TBLB) in peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPL). ⋯ The procedure of EBUS-GS-TBLB was minimally invasive, had higher diagnostic rate and fewer complications. It was a safe and effective method to diagnose PPL, while careful selection of suitable cases could further improve the diagnostic accuracy.
