ABSTRACT
At the end of 2019, a new form of pneumonia disease known as the corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) rapidly spread throughout most provinces of China, and the total global number of COVID-19 cases has surpassed 500 000 by Mar. 27, 2020 (WHO, 2020). On Jan. 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a global health emergency (WHO, 2020). COVID-19 causes most damage to the respiratory system, leading to pneumonia or breathing difficulties. The confirmed case fatality risk (cCFR) was estimated to be 5% to 8% (Jung et al., 2020). Besides physical pain, COVID-19 also induces psychological distress, with depression, anxiety, and stress affecting the general population, quarantined population, medical staff, and patients at different levels (Kang et al., 2020; Xiang et al., 2020). Previous research on patients in isolation wards highlighted the risk of depressed mood, fear, loneliness, frustration, excessive worries, and insomnia (Abad et al., 2010).

Public health crises, such as the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) since Dec. 2019, are widely acknowledged as severe traumatic events that impose threats not only because of physical concerns but also because of the psychological distress of infected patients. We designed an internet-based integrated intervention and evaluated its efficacy on depression and anxiety symptoms in patients infected by SARS-CoV-2.

Inflammatory reaction plays an important role in hematoma formation, tissue debris removal and fibrous tissue formation during the first stage of fracture healing. M1 and M2 macrophages participate in the process of fracture healing through pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory effects, respectively. Tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin and other cytokines secreted by macrophages can regulate the activities of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Bone tissue bioengineering studies found that functional tissue engineering can promote angiogenesis and fracture healing by regulating inflammatory reaction. Therefore, exploring the role of macrophages in the process of fracture healing may provide new insights for promoting fracture healing.
