Fifteen cases of alveolar echinococcosis were treated with albendazole in a dosage of 20 mg/kg/d x 30 days for 12-60 courses (25.8 courses in average) and were followed up 1-7 years (48 months in average) with computerized tomography and ultrasonography. Abdominal pain in all the cases, jaundice in 4 and hemoptysis in disappeared 2. In 13 of the 15 cases, the hepatic lesions reduced in size. Among 9 cases examined with computerized tomography, the hepatic lesions were completely calcified in 5 and enclosed with calcified walls in 3. Only one patient with huge and extensive hepatic lesions showed no apparent improvement. No severe adverse reaction was observed. Evidently albendazole was effective in the treatment of alveolar echinococcosis.

Serum amylase level was determined in 129 cases (225 episodes) of chronic respiratory failure at acute exacerbation and in 59 cases (62 episodes) of pneumonia without respiratory failure as control. Cases with accompanying diseases, such as acute pancreatitis, parotiditis, ileus and renal dysfunction, which were expected to develop hyperamylasemia were excluded. The 225 episodes were divided according to the causes of acute exacerbation into 4 groups: pneumonia, bronchitis, right heart failure without infection, and others (e. g. hemoptysis). Hyperamylasemia (greater than 400 S-U) was observed in groups of pneumonia (15/40 = 35.5%) and bronchitis (12/95 = 12.6%), respectively but not in those of right heart failure without infection (0/73 = 0%) and other causes (0/17 = 0%). As a result, hyperamylasemia was found only under conditions of inflammation of lung parenchyma and bronchi with acute exacerbation of respiratory failure. On the other hand no hyperamylasemia was observed in 62 episodes of pneumonia alone without respiratory failure. It was concluded that both respiratory tract infection and acute respiratory failure are necessary factors for development of hyperamylasemia originating from lung or bronchi.

17 cases with bronchial carcinoid were reported. 16 cases of them were proved pathologically after pulmonary resection, and the remaining one was confirmed histopathologically through bronchoscopic biopsy. 64.7% was under 40 years of age. The main clinical manifestations were cough, hemoptysis, fever and repeated pneumonitis. In one patient, the carcinoid was associated with Cushing's syndrome. Chest roentgenograms showed lesions centrally located in 12 cases, and peripherally located in 5 cases. Histological examination revealed 15 typical and 2 atypical carcinoid tumors. This disease was usually misdiagnosed as lung cancer, tuberculoma and benign tumors. Chest X-ray examination and fiberoptic bronchoscopic biopsy are helpful to the diagnosis of the disease. Pulmonary resection was performed in 16 cases. Two patients had hilar lymph node metastases, one of them had also involvement of pericardium. There was no operative mortality. In the follow-up study, the disease-free actuarial survival following pulmonary resection was 92.9% at 5 years. 2 patients died. One died of respiratory failure 4 months after pneumonectomy, the other died of pericardium involvement of carcinoid 8 months after operation. Resection is the only effective treatment for bronchial carcinoid.

A case of pulmonary lymphangiomyomatosis in a 28-year-old woman with dyspnea, hemoptysis, chylothorax and irregular menstruation as presenting symptoms was reported. Chest CT scan showed the presence of pleural effusion on right side and a honeycomb pattern throughout the lung parenchyma bilaterally. The diagnosis was confirmed histologically by transbronchial lung biopsy. Medroxyprogesterone was administered; improvement in arterial blood gas analysis and reduction of the amount of pleural effusion were noted after one month. The etiology, clinical manifestations, pathological characteristics and treatment of this disease were discussed.

Primary vasculitis, include microscopic polyarteritis (MPA) and Wegener's granulomatosis (WG), is one of the causes of Glomerulonephritis and renal failure. Recently antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA) is considered to be a very important tool for the diagnosis of MPA and WG. The management of ANCA was performed in 42 patients with variant primary glomerulonephritis with crescents formation or sclerotic glomerulonephritis, 5 of them show positive, appeared as a pattern of P-ANCA. Most of the patients were old male, with fever, malaise, weight loss, anemia, muscle and joint pain, some of them have chronic cough, even hemoptysis, opacities in middle-lower fields of both lungs, which didn't response to antibiotics therapy. This is the first report about renal involvement of primary vasculitis from China. Our result suggest that primary vasculitis is not a rare course of renal failure in China.
