1.Core Information

　　The Respiratory Endoscopy Center of the Third People's Hospital of Shenzhen is a specialized department integrating clinical diagnosis, treatment, and research. As a core platform for the precision diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases, the Center operates under the National Clinical Research Center for Infectious Diseases and collaborates with multiple clinical departments to drive technological innovation and application.

　　The department has a team of 11 professionals,including 5 professional endoscopists,6 dedicated endoscopy nurses, 5 of whom hold senior titles. With a complete professional structure, the team is committed to providing patients with safe, efficient, and high-quality endoscopic services.

　　2.Clinical Services & Specializations

• Infectious Diseases: Offering specialized diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, including balloon dilation for tuberculous airway stenosis, cryoablation for bronchial tuberculosis, and precision sampling for drug-resistant bacterial infections.

• Pleural Diseases: Implementation of medical thoracoscopy combined with ultrasound-guided pleural biopsy and interventional therapy.

• Pulmonary Neoplasms (Lung Tumors): Clinical applications including Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy (ENB) for lung nodule biopsy, Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) for mediastinal staging, and Autofluorescence Bronchoscopy (AFB) for early-stage cancer screening.

• Airway Interventions: Performance of Grade IV complex procedures, including balloon dilation and stenting for benign and malignant stenosis, airway fistula closure, and tumor ablation.

• Complex Lung Diseases: Clinical application of metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing (mNGS) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and Transbronchial Lung Cryobiopsy (TBLC) for the diagnosis and treatment of interstitial lung diseases (ILD).

　　3.Special Features & Advantages

• Integrated Disciplinary Framework: Leveraging the National Clinical Research Center for Infectious Diseases, the department has established a "Four-in-One" developmental framework encompassing Infection, Oncology, Transplantation, and Interventions, fostering the multidisciplinary integration and innovation of respiratory endoscopic techniques.

• Research & Standard Setting: The department has actively participated in National Science and Technology Major Projects across the 13th, 14th, and 15th Five-Year Plans. It has spearheaded the development of industry standards, including the Clinical Procedure for Bronchoscopy in COVID-19 Patients and the Guidelines for Interventional Treatment of Tuberculous Airway Stenosis. With numerous original research papers published in top-tier journals such as The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, the department maintains significant academic influence.

• Specialized Clinical Impact: The Center provides specialized services such as post-lung transplant airway management and rapid diagnosis of opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients. With an annual patient volume of nearly 10,000 cases, the department is dedicated to providing patients with high-precision diagnosis and treatment.

　　4.Education & Research

• National Training Base: The department serves as the Respiratory Endoscopic Interventional Diagnosis and Treatment Training Base for the Tuberculosis Society of the Chinese Medical Association, training dozens of medical and nursing fellows from across the country each year.

• Knowledge Dissemination: Through the "Shen-C Endoscopy" (Shen-C Jing Yu) WeChat official account and the "Shen-C" academic platform series, the department continuously promotes the standardized popularization of respiratory interventional techniques.

• Research & Innovation: Over the past five years, the department has participated in National Major Science and Technology Projects and spearheaded the development of industry standards. The team has published numerous high-impact SCI papers in top-tier journals such as The Lancet Respiratory Medicine and holds multiple core patents and prestigious science and technology awards.
