It is very difficult to distinguish infectious lung diseases from no-infectious ones,and a correct practice guideline is of great significance.There are several important principals for physicians in dealing with the situation:collection of a detailed patients' history and physical examination information,objective evaluation of laboratory findings,an ability of imaging diagnosis and differential diagnosis,prompt invasive procedure with caution,and skillful empiric treatment.Different pathogens should be tested for infectious lung diseases.The non-infectious lung diseases should be handled with strong sense of caution,so as to avoid misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

Objective To explore the correlation of serum high -sensitivity C -reactive protein and ische-mic stroke in elderly people.Methods 120 patients with acute cerebral infarction were selected as the cerebral infarction group,100 healthy people taken examination at the same period were selected as the control group.The lev-els of serum high -sensitivity C -reactive protein in the two groups were detected,and the serum high -sensitivity C -reactive protein levels in patients with different cerebral areas and different neurological function scores were analyzed.Results Serum high -sensitivity C -reactive protein level in the cerebral infarction group was (10.17 ± 3.13)mg/L,which was significantly higher than that of the control group[(0.81 ±0.24)mg/L],the difference was statistically significant(t =29.82,P <0.05).And the serum high -sensitivity C -reactive protein level was gradually increased with cerebral infarct volume increased and the deepening of neurological deficits(P =0.01).Conclusion The serum high -sensitivity C -reactive protein level in elderly patients with ischemic stroke was higher than healthy people,the larger the infarct volume and the more severe neurological deficits,the higher sensitivity C -reactive protein levels,it is worthy of reference.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of Xingnaojing injection in the treatment of ischemic stroke. METH-ODS:110 patients with ischemic stroke were randomly divided into control group and observation group. 2 groups were given regu-lation of blood pressure and blood glucose,lipid lowering,aspirin,citicoline and edaravone,mannitol depending on severity and other conventional treatment. Based on it,control group was intravenously infused 250 ml 0.9% Sodium chloride injection,once a day;observation group was additionally intravenously infused 20 ml Xingnaojing injection,adding into 250 ml 0.9% Sodium chlo-ride injection,once a day. The efficacy was judged after 14 d. US National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS),Glasgow coma score(GCS),nitric oxide(NO),nitric oxide synthase(NOS),inducible nitric oxide(iNOS)content in 2 groups were ob-served,and in the incidence of adverse reactions was recorded. RESULTS:The total effective rat in observation group was signifi-cantly higher than control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Before treatment,there were no significant differences in the NIHSS,NO,NOS and iNOS contents between 2 groups(P>0.05);after treatment,GCS in 2 groups were sig-nificantly higher than before,and observation group was higher than control group,NIHSS,NO,NOS and iNOS contents were significantly lower than before,and observation group was lower than control group,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). And there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLU-SIONS:Based on conventional treatment,Xingnaojing injection has significant efficacy in the treatment of ischemic stroke,with good safety,which may be related that it can reduce NO and GCS.
