Objective To analyze and compare the clinical features of community-acquired pneumonia caused by Legionella in elderly (age≥60 years) and younger patients. Methods The epidemiological, clinical, laboratory data and the outcomes of 80 cases with community-acquired Legionella pneumonia (CALP) from January 2001 to October 2009 were studied retrospectively, and the differences between elderly and younger group were compared using univariate and multivariate analysis. Results (1) Underlying diseases, such as cerebrovascular diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, diabetes mellitus and immunosuppressive therapy were significantly more frequent in elderly group than in younger group (all P＜0. 05). (2) No significant differences were observed between the two groups in legionella serotype. (3) Malaise, hyponatremia and hypophosphatemia were all more frequent in elderly group than in younger group (x2=5. 300, 5. 520, 4. 470; P=0. 021,0. 019, 0. 034, respectively). And elderly versus younger group had higher creatinine levels [(108.55±56.57) μmmol/L vs. (75.42±17.62) μmmol/L, t= -3. 062, P=0. 002], lower PaO2/FiO2 (＜300) (57.7% vs. 29.2%, x2=4. 120, P=0.042), less leucocyte counts [(8.34±3.65)×109/Lvs. (10.63±5.02)×109/L, t=-2.287, P=0.022]. (4) Elderly patients more likely complicated with congestive heart failure (P=0.037) and their length of staying in hospital was also longer (Z=-2.194, P=0.028). No significant differences were observed between the two groups in mortality, intensive care unit admission, and the need for corticosteroids or mechanical ventilation.Conclusions Elderly patients with CALP have a higher frequency of underlying comorbidities and more organs involvement than younger patients, although greater severity of illness at onset and outcome are not significantly different between the two groups.

Objective To analyze the clinical,radiologic and pathological features of endobronchial metastasis from prostate cancer, and its diagnosis and treatment. Methods Ten cases of endobronchial metastasis from prostate cancer with pathological evidence in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.The clinical, radiologie andpathological features and the diagnostic procedures and treatment of the cases were reported and analyzed while combined with literature. ResultsAn average age at diagnosis of advanced prostate cancer was 65.5 years. Emoptysis(5/10), cough (4/10), dyspnea (4/10) and weight loss (5/10) were the common symptoms.Chest X-ray disclosed hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy (4/10), hilar mass (3/10) or atelectasis (2/10) . Bronchoscopic examination revealed that most of lesion located in single lobar or segmental bronchus (6/10). Bilateral upper lobe were most susceptibly involved(7/10). Polypoid lesions or mass in lumen of bronchi(8/10)were more frequent than infiltrative lesion(2/10), which could obstruct the orifice of the bronchi in different extent. Immunohistochemical staining for prostate specific antigen or prostatic acid phosphatase was positive, and most patients responded well to endocrine therapy. Conclusions Clin.ical and radiologic features of endobronchial metastasis from prostate cancer are similar to those of primary bronchogenic carcinoma. Immunohistoehemical study is helpful for differential diagnosis and the short-term efficacy of endocrine therapy is significant.
