Objective To explore the key points of the diagnosis and treatment of severe pneumonia following renal transplantation in the elderly. Methods The clinical data of 28 patients with severe pneumonia following renal transplantation were retrospectively analyzed, including 20 cases aged <60 years (<60 years old group) and 8 cases aged ≥60 years (≥60 years old group). Results In <60 years old group, the severe pneumonia occurred during 1-13 months after the renal transplantation. All the patients had fever. 10 cases coughed and 8 cases had expectoration. 6 cases had type I respiratory failure (RF) and 3 cases experienced type 11 RF. 6 cases had lobar pneumonia and 13 cases occurred interstitial pneumonia. One case experienced lung consolidation. The pathogens of 16 cases in <60 years old group were identified, including 4 cases with bacterial pneumonia, 4 cases with cytomegalovirus (CMV) pneumonia, 2 cases with pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, Ⅰ case with mycoplasma infection, Ⅰ case with tuberculosis infection, and 4 cases with mixed infection (2 cases infected by bacteria plus CMV, 1 case by bacteria plus fungi and 1 case by bacteria plus tuberculosis). Combined drugs (broad-spectrum antibiotic, antivirus and antifungal agent) were administered on the initial stage and sensitive drugs were used later according to the pathogens. Hormone or immunoglobulin was used when other drugs were useless. 17 cases were cured and 3 cases died. In ≥60 years old group, the severe pneumonia occurred during 1-9 months after renal transplantation. All 8 patients had fever, too. 5 cases coughed and 3 cases had expectoration. 3 cases experienced type ⅠRF and 1 case experienced type Ⅱ RF. 3 cases had lobar pneumonia and 5 casesoccurred interstitial pneumonia. The pathogens of 5 eases were identified. Among them, 2 cases were affected by bacterial pneumonia, 1 case by CMV pneumonia and 2 cases by mixed pneumonia (one by bacteria plus CMV, one by bacteria plus fungi). Similar modality was applied, and 5 cases were cured and 3 cases died. Conclusions Most of severe pneumonia occur during 1-9 months after renal transplantation in the elderly. The main pathogens are bacteria and CMV. Medications for all of the most common pathogens and assisted ventilation should be used early. Specific narrow-spectrum antibiotic or antiviral drugs could be used quickly after pathogens were identified, and hormone or immunoglobulin could be administered to patients when the infection is severe or the pathogens are uncertain.

YOU Zaijing,a doctor of Wumen region,and a famous expert of Treatise on Pathogenic Diseases, also made great achievements in warm diseases. He cleared the source of cold pathogenic diseases and warm diseases, distinguish the difference between them. He put forward the importance of correcting and understanding the disease nomenclature. He explained the names of warm diseases,wind-warm disonder, pestilence,damp-warm disease,warm toxin and warm malaria.He divided warm diseases into newly acquired warm disease, warm disease caused by incubating pathogens, warm disease mixed with dampness and pestilence.He used pungent and cool natured drugs and the method of regulating lung to treat wind warm diseases.In the treatment of warm toxin, he used the method of venting pathogen with cool-scattered natured drugs. In the treatment of warm disease caused by incubating pathogens,he used the method of clearing away heat, nourishing yin and venting pathogen. In the treatment of dampness-warm disease, he used the method of eliminating dampness and heat separately. In the treatment of pestilence, he took the location of disease as the core.According to the different disease locations of the pestilence, different treatment methods and prescriptions were selected.He listed five methods of treating pestilence and established a theoretical framework for the treatment of pestilence,embodying the thought of guiding the trend along the development.He put forward the theory of Six Channels directing Cold and Warm early.He tried to use the syndrome differentiation of six channels system to direct all exogenous diseases such as cold pathogenic diseases and warm diseases. He was the pioneer advocator of the cold-warm combined theory. His views on warm diseases had a profound impact on later doctors. This paper summarizes his main points, analyzes his theory, and provides inspiration for the diagnosis and treatment of warm diseases.

Objective:To investigate epidemiological and clinical characteristics of botulism, and the adverse events among those received botulinum antitoxin treatment.Methods:Patients with discharge diagnosis as botulism in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University were enrolled between 2017 and 2021. The epidemiological and clinical characteristics were evaluated. Infection and mechanical ventilation as in-hospital outcomes according to baseline characteristics were analyzed. Patients with and without the interested outcomes were compared. The adverse outcomes among those received botulinum antitoxin treatment were investigated. Those with and without the adverse outcomes were also compared.Results:Sixty-seven cases of botulism were enrolled, and most cases got sick between January and March (32/67, 47.8%); among them 62 cases were Han ethnicity (92.5%); prevalence was highest in Aksu region (15/67, 22.4%); commonly seen symptoms and signs included fatigue (58/67, 86.6%), dysphagia (48/67, 71.6%), dizziness (42/67, 62.7%), ptosis (42/67, 62.7%), blurred vision (41/67, 61.2%), and limb weakness (35/67, 52.2%). Compared with patients without in-hospital infection ( n=52), patients with in-hospital infection ( n=15) were more likely to have severe botulism (0/52 vs 5/15, χ 2=19.79, P<0.001), diplopia (16/52, 30.8% vs 11/15, χ 2=8.77, P=0.003), dysarthria (17/52, 32.7% vs 11/15, χ 2=7.91, P=0.005), consciousness disorder (1/52, 1.9% vs 4/15, χ 2=10.32, P=0.008). Compared with patients without mechanical ventilation (62/67, 92.5%), patients with mechanical ventilation (5/67, 7.5%) were more likely to have severe botulism (5/5 vs 0/62, χ 2=41.17, P<0.001), and consciousness disorder (4/5 vs 1/62, 1.6%, χ 2=29.58, P<0.001). Among 67 cases of botulism, 19 cases (28.4%) had adverse events after receiving antitoxin treatment, with an average of 6.5 days from the antitoxin treatment beginning to the adverse event onset; among the 19 cases, 18 cases (94.7%) had rash. Age, sex, and severity did not differ between the groups with ( n=19) and without adverse events ( n=48) after receiving antitoxin treatment. Conclusions:Fatigue, dysphagia, dizziness, ptosis were the most frequent symptoms and signs in the botulism in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China. Infection was a commonly seen complication of botulism, and proactive prevention and close monitoring were needed. Adverse events after receiving antitoxin were prevalent, and might not be associated with age, sex, and severity of botulism.
