There was a male novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV, SARS-CoV-2) pneumonia (COVID-19) patient after pulmonary surgery at age of 61 years. The patient had no clear history of contact COVID-19 patient before surgery. He developed transient fever on the 4th day after surgery. The body temperature returned to normal on the 5th day after antibiotic adjustment. The patient developed fever and fatigue again on the 6th day after surgery. A chest CT scan revealed postoperative pneumonia. The patient was treated by ganciclovir and moxifloxacin hydrochloride. The patient's temperature gradually decreased on the 7th to 9th days after the operation. CT scan on the 10th day after surgery showed viral pneumonia, so we immediately raised the level of protection. The novel coronavirus nucleic acid test was positive. The patient was immediately transferred to the designated hospital for treatment. The patient was treated by arbidol, moxifloxacin, human immunoglobulin (PH4), ambroxol and other nutritional symptomatic and supportive treatment. The patient's condition is currently stable. Ten people in close contact with the patient developed symptoms, and their CT scans showed viral pneumonia. Six of them were positive in nucleic acid tests, and the others were still under quarantine observation. This shows that it is easy to confuse the imaging manifestations of pneumonia with novel coronavirus pneumonia after lung surgery. We should perform nucleic acid detection as soon as possible in the early diagnosis of CT and reformulate the treatment protocol.

The transgender children and adolescents (TCAs) face serious social dilemmas in the process of gender identity and expression, which hinders this group from seeking reasonable and equal rights to survival and development. From the perspective of equal rights and the theoretical framework of social dilemma, by interviewing TCAs who seek help from medical social workers in a hospital’s multi-disciplinary transgender clinic, this paper revealed that under the traditional system of “binary gender”, TCAs lacked social inclusiveness and infrastructure, which led to the two major social dilemmas of “social traps” and “social barriers” encountered by this group in the process of gender expression and gender identity. Specifically, the social gender selection of TCAs often leads to collective irrational reactions and gender punishment, preventing their legal and effective medical services. To this end, the research team used critical methodology to construct a joint disciplinary diagnosis and treatment path for TCAs with the participation of medical social workers, as well as verified that the path has significant intervention effects in rationalizing the needs of TCAs and their families, alleviating their psychological pressure and social adaptation problems in the process of gender identity, fostering a diverse dialogue environment in their families, as well as enhancing their self-efficacy and social participation, to provide assistahce to the TCAs groups in social difficulties, assisting their rights and interests be included in the child-friendly indicator system, and improving the whole society’s tolerance and understanding for TCAs group.
