We investigated the clinical and photographic characteristics of uremic lung and review the associated literature, so as to improve the diagnostic and therapeutic abilities of uremic lung. The clinical symptoms and signs together with the photographic characteristics of the patient who was diagnosed as uremic lung complicated with pulmonary infection and congestive heart failure in our division were analysed and the associated literature was reviewed. The patient was admitted for the complaint of cough, expectoration and dyspnea. He was diagnosed as chronic renal failure with pulmonary infection and congestive heart failure. The symptoms alleviated after adequate hemodialysis and antibiotic therapy. However, mild dyspnea remained with photographic examination still showing consolidation in the lungs. The diagnosis of uremic lung was established after the exclusion of pulmonary infections of other pathogens and tumor. After 8-month maintenance hemodialysis, the pulmonary lesions were thoroughly absorbed. Uremic lung is a common complication of end-stage renal failure. The diagnosis is established after the exclusion of cardiac pulmonary edema, pulmonary infections and tumors. Sufficient hemodialysis is the most adequate treatment for uremic lung.

Brain ischemia pulmonary edema(BIPE)is a critical type of the neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE), with acute development and progression and high mortality. The study on mechanism of BIPE has important scientific significance and substantial practice values. NPE, as a complicated physiopathology condition, is not resulted from single factor but systemic events including the changes in nervous system, body fluid regulation and endocrine involved in central nervous system after the injury. The studies on this topic in this current issue suggested that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) could involve in the pathogenesis procedure of NPE following brain ischemia, which indicated that the crucial role of BDNF in the NPE after BIPE. The findings of these studies pave a way for the treatment of BIPE by using BDNF administration in future clinic trail.
