Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Outbreak in 2019: Computed Tomographic Findings in Two Cases

Since the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV or officially named by the World Health Organization as COVID-19) outbreak in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China in 2019, there have been a few reports of its imaging findings. Here, we report two confirmed cases of 2019-nCoV pneumonia with chest computed tomography findings of multiple regions of patchy consolidation and ground-glass opacities in both lungs. These findings were characteristically located along the bronchial bundle or subpleural lungs.

Distribution of the Genetic Polymorphism of CYP2C9 and VKORC1 in Uighurian Patients in Xinjiang and Comparison among Different Ethnic Populations / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To provide basis for the establishment of warfarin individualized administration model that is suitable for Uighurian patients in Xinjiang. METHODS:The genotypes of CYP2C9 and VKORC1 in 200 Uighurian patients in xinjiang were detected and compared with the genotypes and allele frequency of different ethnic populations in world. RESULTS:The frequency of CYP2C9*1/*1 homozygous wild type in Xinjiang Uighurian patients was lower than South Korea,Japan,the United States and Han nationality in China,higher than Turkey;the frequency of *1/*2 heterozygous mutant was lower than Turkey,Sweden and the United Kingdom,higher than South Korea,Japan and Han nationality in China;the frequency of *1/*3 heterozygous mutant was higher than Japan,South Korea,Han nationality in China,the United Kingdom and the United States;the frequency of *3/*3 was higher than the populations above(P<0.05). *1 allele in Xinjiang Uighurian patients was lower than Han nationality in China,Ja-pan,South Korea and the United States,higher than Turkey(P<0.05). *2 allele was higher than Han nationality in China,Japan and South Korea,lower than Turkey,Sweden and the United Kingdom(P<0.05). *3 allele was higher than Han nationality in Chi-na,Japan,South Korea,Sweden,the United Kingdom and the United States(P<0.05). The frequency of VKORC1-1639AA in Xinjiang Uighurian patients was higher than the United States Sweden,the United Kingdom,lower than Singapore,Japan,Taiwan China and Han nationality in China. The frequency of type AG was higher than Singapore,Japan,Taiwan China,Han nationality in China. The frequency of type GG was higher than Singapore,Japan,Taiwan China,Han nationality in China,lower than the United States,Sweden and the United Kingdom(P<0.05). Type A allele in Xinjiang Uighurian patients was lower than Han nation-ality in China,Taiwan China,Japan and Singapore,higher than the United States,Sweden and the United Kingdom;type G was higher than Han nationality in China,Taiwan China,Japan and Singapore,lower than the United States,Sweden and the United Kingdom(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The distribution of CYP2C9 and VKORC1 gene polymorphism in Uighurian patients in Xin-jiang are obviously different from Asian,European and American populations.
