Summary

This reference book, Systemic Vasculitis (2nd Edition), was revised under the leadership of Professor Jiang Lindi of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University. It is divided into three parts. Part One, the general introduction, covers how vasculitis manifests in various organs, diagnostic techniques, and treatment. Part Two, primary vasculitis, covers large-vessel, medium-vessel, and small-vessel vasculitis, variable-vessel vasculitis, single-organ vasculitis, and pediatric vasculitis. Part Three, other vascular disorders, has been updated and includes vasculitis associated with systemic autoimmune diseases, infection, and tumors, IgG4-related vasculitis and perivasculitis, and chronic periaortitis. This edition adds autoinflammatory diseases with vasculitis and other vascular disorders, the latter covering more than ten conditions, most of which are uncommon or rare. Each part covers: overview, including disease discovery and naming; epidemiology, etiology, and pathogenesis; pathology; clinical manifestations; auxiliary tests; diagnosis; differential diagnosis; disease assessment; and treatment. Features: the book brings together renowned experts in imaging, pathology, vascular surgery, and rheumatology from major tertiary hospitals across China, giving readers a systematic and comprehensive view of the latest advances in systemic vasculitis. It is intended both for specialists and as a continuing-education reference for internal medicine clinicians.

Editor's review

Led by rheumatology and co-authored by experts in imaging, pathology, vascular surgery, and other fields, this second edition keeps the three-part structure while updating coverage of vasculitis associated with systemic autoimmune disease, infection, and tumors, IgG4-related vasculitis, and chronic periaortitis. It adds autoinflammatory diseases with vasculitis and more than ten other vascular disorders, many of them uncommon or rare. Each condition is presented from disease discovery and naming through epidemiology, etiology and pathogenesis, pathology, clinical manifestations, and auxiliary tests to diagnosis, differential diagnosis, disease assessment, and treatment, forming a complete clinical reasoning chain. For rheumatologists, vascular surgeons, nephrologists, and pulmonologists who often face vasculitis in differential diagnosis, the book helps build a classification framework and makes it easy to search by organ involvement when a difficult case arises. Because the content spans multiple disciplines, readers should pair it with their own imaging and pathology data; reading straight through tends to leave one at the level of concepts.

Reading tips

  1. Read the general introduction first to build a framework of organ involvement and diagnostic techniques, then turn to specific disease chapters as needed.
  2. When reading about primary vasculitis, consult the latest classification criteria and outline differential-diagnosis points as you go.
  3. For rare disease chapters, pair the reading with local cases or imaging and pathology data for focused, topic-based study.
  4. Use the disease assessment and treatment chapters for quick reference before ward rounds and review them regularly.

Overall, her works balance professionalism and readability, serving both as reference for medical peers and as a contribution to patient education and doctor-patient communication.

田新平 Author

Tian Xinping is an author in the field of medicine. Publicly available information is limited, and all that is currently known is that the author's representative work is Systemic Vasculitis (2nd Edition). The book falls under the medicine category and focuses on the specialized area of systemic vasculitis, covering clinical diagnosis and treatment of these conditions along with related knowledge. Judging from the work's positioning, Tian Xinping writes for medical professionals, with content characterized by professionalism and systematic organization and intended for clinical practice and academic reference. Because biographical details, educational background, and professional positions are unavailable, this profile makes no speculation on those points.

For readers interested in the diagnosis and treatment of vasculitis, this work can serve as a reference on the topic, while the author's fuller academic profile awaits more publicly available information.

郑毅 Author

Zheng Yi is an author about whom limited public information is available; he is currently known for two works, one in medicine and one in management, written for practical readers in different fields. Systemic Vasculitis (2nd Edition) is a medical professional book on systemic vasculitis, and the second edition indicates that the content has been revised and expanded, making it suitable for clinicians and those working in related research. Enterprise Digital Transformation: Theory and Upgrade Solutions for Real-Economy Enterprises turns to business management, discussing the theoretical framework and upgrade paths for real-economy enterprises pursuing digital transformation, with a clear emphasis on practical solutions. The two works span quite different subjects—one focused on organizing knowledge about disease diagnosis and treatment, the other on analyzing practical business problems and proposing responses. What they share is an attention to concrete issues, serving readers through systematic organization and actionable approaches. Because biographical information is lacking, judgments about his writing style and influence can only rest on the works themselves and await further material.
