Currently, there is no intraoperative imaging device to detect kidney tumors during excision. AIM We are evaluating molecular chemical imaging (MCI) as a technology for real-time tumor detection and margin assessment during tumor removal surgeries. APPROACH In exploratory studies, we evaluate visible near infrared (Vis-NIR) MCI for differentiating tumor from adjacent tissue in ex vivo human kidney specimens, and in anaesthetized mice with breast or lung tumor xenografts. Differentiation of tumor from nontumor tissues is made possible with diffuse reflectance spectroscopic signatures and hyperspectral imaging technology. Tumor detection is achieved by score image generation to localize the tumor, followed by application of computer vision algorithms to define tumor border. RESULTS Performance of a partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) model for kidney tumor in a 22-patient study is 0.96 for area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. A PLS-DA model for in vivo breast and lung tumor xenografts performs with 100% sensitivity, 83% specificity, and 89% accuracy. CONCLUSION Detection of cancer in surgically resected human kidney tissues is demonstrated ex vivo with Vis-NIR MCI, and in vivo on mice with breast or lung xenografts.SIGNIFICANCE 5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-based fluorescence guidance in conventional neurosurgical microscopes is limited to strongly fluorescent tumor tissue. Therefore, more sensitive, intrasurgical 5-ALA fluorescence visualization is needed. AIM Macroscopic fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) was performed ex vivo on 5-ALA-labeled human glioma tissue through a surgical microscope to evaluate its feasibility and to compare it to fluorescence intensity imaging. APPROACH Frequency-domain FLIM was integrated into a surgical microscope, which enabled parallel wide-field white-light and fluorescence imaging. We first characterized our system and performed imaging of two samples of suspected low-grade glioma, which were compared to histopathology. RESULTS Our imaging system enabled macroscopic FLIM of a 6.5 × 6.5 mm2 field of view at spatial resolutions less then 20 μm. A frame of 512 × 512 pixels with a lifetime accuracy less then 1 ns was obtained in 65 s. Compared to conventional fluorescence imaging, FLIM considerably highlighted areas with weak 5-ALA fluorescence, which was in good agreement with histopathology. CONCLUSIONS Integration of macroscopic FLIM into a surgical microscope is feasible and a promising method for improved tumor delineation.The current epidemic situation of corona virus disease-19 (COVID-19) still remained severe. As the National Clinical Research Center for Infectious Diseases, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine is the primary medical care center for COVID-19 inZhejiang Province. SM102 Based on the present expert consensus carried out by National Health Commission and National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, our team summarized and established an effective treatment strategy centered on "Four-Anti and Two-Balance" for clinical practice. The "Four-Anti and Two-Balance"strategy included antivirus, anti-shock, anti-hyoxemia, anti-secondary infection, and maintaining of water, electrolyte and acid base balance and microecological balance. Meanwhile, integrated multidisciplinarypersonalized treatment was recommended to improve therapeutic effect. The importance of early viralogical detection, dynamic monitoring of inflammatory indexes an
