ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and clinical features of the patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), so as to provide basis for clinical diagnosis.Methods:The epidemiology, clinical symptoms, laboratory and radiologic data of 23 patients with COVID-19 admitted to the Fifth People's Hospital of Xinyang City from January 22nd to January 29th, 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:There was 23 patients with COVID-19, with 15 men and 8 women, and the median age was 46.0 (40.5, 52.0) years old (ranged from 27 years old to 80 years old). Nine patients had basic disease (39.1%), including hypertension (17.4%), cardiovascular diseases (17.4%), diabetes (8.7%), hypothyroidism (4.3%) and past history of tuberculosis (4.3%). All the 23 patients had contact history in Wuhan area or with confirmed cases. Clinical symptoms included fever (100%), cough (69.6%), expectoration (43.5%), myalgia (26.1%), headache (17.4%) and dyspnea (17.4%), and the less common symptom was diarrhea (4.3%). Blood routine tests showed leukocytopenia in 11 patients (47.8%), normal leukocyte counts in 10 patients (43.5%), and leukocytosis in 2 patients (8.7%); lymphopenia was found in 13 patients (56.5%). All 23 patients had different degrees of infective lesions in chest CT, with 7 patients (30.4%) on one side and 16 patients (69.6%) on both sides. There were 19 mild patients, 4 severe patients, and no critical or death case. Complications included acute respiratory distress syndrome (17.4%). No patient was reported with liver, kidney or heart dysfunction or secondary infection.Conclusions:Epidemic history of contact, fever, pneumonia signs of chest CT, normal or decreased count of leukocyte and lymphopenia are the clinical basis for diagnosis of COVID-19. However, at present, the treatment of patients has not been completed, and the effective treatment strategy and final prognosis are unclear.

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effects of laparoscopic filling with pedicled greater retina for hepatic cysts. Methods Clinical data were reviewed on 36 patients with hepatic cysts undergoing laparoscopic filling with pedicled greater retina from January 2010 to May 2014.The diameters of cysts ranged from 10 to 26 cm, with a diameter smaller than 20 cm in 29 patients and bigger than 20 cm in 7 patients.Laparoscopic fenestration of hepatic cysts was performed to destroy cyst cells with iodine and absolute alcohol. Pedicled greater retina was used for filling the cavity of cysts. Results The procedures were completed smoothly.The operative time was 45-115 min, with an average of (80.4 ±13.1) min.No abdominal cavity infection happened.Primary healing of abdominal incision was achieved in all the patients.The postoperative hospital stay was 5-10 d, with an average of (6.4 ±1.2) d.All the 36 patients were followed up for 6-12 months with a mean of (9.3 ±1.5) months.None of the patients showed recurrence under liver B-ultrasonography or CT scanning. Conclusion Laparoscopic filling with pedicled greater retina for hepatic cysts has advantages of minimal invasion, quick postoperative recovery, short hospital stay, and good results.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of different surface treatments on shear bond strength between diatomite-based dental ceramic and IPS e.max veneering ceramic.Methods Diatomite-based dental ceramic was randomly divided into acid-etched group,sandblasting group and untreated group,and then sintered with IPS e.max veneering ceramic,respectively.Shear bond strength were detected,and the interface microstructures and elemental distribution were observed by scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS).Results Shear bond strength of acid-etched group was significantly higher than that of untreated group (P＜0.01).SEM observation results showed that the interface of acid-etched group bonded closely.There was no statistical difference of the shear bond strength between the sandblasting group and untreated group (P＞0.05).Conclusions Acid-etched treatment can significantly enhance the bond strength of diatomite-based dental ceramic and IPS e.max veneering ceramic.

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the association between stress hyperglycemia and clinical out-comes among patients with and without diabetes mellitns admitted to medical intensive care unit (MICU).Methods We reviewed the medical ICU records of 1016 consecutive patients admitted to Wu Han Univer-sity Ren Min Hospital. According to admission glucose level, 126 patients with debates and 890 patients without known debates were divided into group 1 ( <6 mmol/L), group 2(6 ～ 8mmol/L), group 3(8 ～10mmol/L), and group 4( > 10mmol/L). The primary end point of the study was in-hospital mortality. Secondary end points included length of hospital stay, length of ICU stay, the ratio of mechanical ventila-tion, blood transfusions, antibiotics and blood glucose treatment. Results The hospital mortality among patients without a history of diabetes mellitus was 4. 7%, 12. 1%, 20. 5%, 30. 3% in group 1, 2, 3, 4,respectively. The ratio of mechanical ventilation, blood transfusions, and antibiotics increased progressively as glucose values increased. Conclusions Hyperglycemia was a common disease, and it may be an impor-tant marker of poor clinical outcome and mortality in patients without history of diabetes.
ABSTRACT
Objective To make a rapid determination of ferulic acid and identification of its structure in rhizome of Phragmites communis (RPC). Methods The chemical constituents were extracted by solvent and the relative content and structure of ferulic acid in RPC were determined and identified using GC-TOFMS technique. Results By GC-TOFMS, the ferulic acid was successfully isolated from the extracts of RPC in a relative content of 5%. According to the exact masses and corresponding elemental compositions of molecular ion and eight characteristic ions, a possible fragmentation pathway of the ferulic acid molecule was proposed, by which the molecular structure was confirmed. Conclusion GC-TOFMS technique is a rapid, accurate, sensitive, and reliable method for determination of the relative content of ferulic acid in RPC and identificatiion of its structure.
