5.Combined airway disease.
Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2012;26(15):713-717
The datas of epidemiological, clinical, and immunopathology demonstrate there is an important link between upper and lower airways. The upper airways diseases including the allergy rhinitis, the professional rhinitis, the sleep apnea and hypoventilation syndrome, nose polyposis (with/without aspirin sensitive), the chronic rhinosinusitis and so on, have an important contacting with lower airways diseases. Understanding how the upper airway does affect the lower airway disease, has the influential role to diagnosis, the treatment and the prognosis. This article made the brief summary on the important relation about among the nose, the paranasal sinus and the lung recent years.

Congenital pulmonary hypoplasia is a rare developmental abnormality of the lung with an incidence rate of around 1/5000 000. As a fatal condition associated with respiratory insufficiency after birth, this disease is rare in adults. We treated a 29-year-old female patient with congenital pulmonary hypoplasia and concurrent of cystic duct calculus in May, 2011 using single-port transumbilical laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which resulted in a good therapeutic effect comparable to that by routine laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

The lungs are one of the most common extra-articular organs involved in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which is reported to occur in up to 60% to 80% of RA patients. Respiratory complications are the second leading cause of death due to RA. Although there is a wide spectrum of RA-associated respiratory diseases, interstitial lung disease is the most common manifestation and it impacts the prognosis of RA. There has been progress in understanding the management and progression of rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) and RA-associated respiratory diseases recently, for example, opportunistic pulmonary infectious diseases and toxicity from RA therapies. From a chest physicians' perspective, we will update the diagnosis and treatment of RA-associated ILD, methotrexate-associated lung disease, and the complication of Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia in RA in this review.
