RESUMO

BackgroundThe 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has continuous outbreaks around the world. Lung is the main organ that be involved. There is a lack of clinical data on the respiratory sounds of COVID-19 infected pneumonia, which includes invaluable information concerning physiology and pathology. The medical resources are insufficient, which are now mainly supplied for the severe patients. The development of a convenient and effective screening method for mild or asymptomatic suspicious patients is highly demanded. MethodsThis is a retrospective case series study. 10 patients with positive results of nucleic acid were enrolled in this study. Lung auscultation was performed by the same physician on admission using a hand-held portable electronic stethoscope delivered in real time via Bluetooth. The recorded audio was exported, and was analyzed by six physicians. Each physician individually described the abnormal breathing sounds that he heard. The results were analyzed in combination with clinical data. Signal analysis was used to quantitatively describe the most common abnormal respiratory sounds. ResultsAll patients were found abnormal breath sounds at least by 3 physicians, and one patient by all physicians. Cackles, asymmetrical vocal resonance and indistinguishable murmurs are the most common abnormal breath sounds. One asymptomatic patient was found vocal resonance, and the result was correspondence with radiographic computed tomography. Signal analysis verified the credibility of the above abnormal breath sounds. ConclusionsThis study describes respiratory sounds of patients with COVID-19, which fills up for the lack of clinical data and provides a simple screening method for suspected patients.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the efficacy of Qingfei Yihuo Capsules (, QYCs) in preventing the air pollution associated exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).@*METHODS@#This was a prospective, parallel, single-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial. Sixty patients with stable Group D COPD were randomly allocated to receive either oral QYCs (intervention group) or placebos (control group, 30 cases per group) for 15 days in the presumed high-incidence air pollution season and followed-up for 1 year. Both groups were given individualized Western medicine therapy according to the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease criteria as usual. Total and separate numbers of acute exacerbation (AE) associated with striking air pollution was the primary outcomes. Secondary outcomes included total numbers of deteriorating respiratory symptoms and separate numbers associated with striking air pollution, as well as scores of COPD Assessment Test (CAT) and modified Medical Research Council Scale (mMRC).@*RESULTS@#All the 60 patients completed the study. There was no statistical significance in total numbers of AE between the two groups (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, a significant reduction in air-pollution associated numbers of deteriorated respiratory symptoms was observed in the intervention group (1.9-1.2 vs. 3.6-2.4, P0.05). Only 2 patients in the intervention group reported diarrhea and recovered after drug discontinuance.@*CONCLUSION@#For patients with Group D COPD, oral QYCs in high-incidence season of air pollution can effectively mitigate respiratory symptoms associated with air pollution, although there was no evidence that it had a significant reductive effect on AEs.

RESUMO

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To find an ideal method inducing dental pulp stem cells (DPSC) osteogenic differentiation. To compare the effect of co-culture method and that of mineralizing culture medium.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>DPSC were co-cultured with osteoblasts using cell culture inserts system as experiment group, and DPSC were cultured in mineralizing culture medium as control group. The cell morphology and ultrastructure and mineralized nodes were analyzed under phase contrast microscope, transmission electron microscope, and alizarin red S staning. Bone sialoprotein (BSP), Runx-2, osteocalcin, and collagen-1 (Col-1) osteoblastic genes expressions of DPSC cultivated in special niche of osteoblasts were assayed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The mineralization nudoles of experiment group were more than control group. Fifteen days later, BSP and Col-1 genes in the DPSC of co-cultures were 9.807 ± 1.135 and 2.913 ± 0.310, respectively. And those in the DPSC of mineralizing culture medium were 6.478 ± 0.781 and 1.703 ± 0.184, respectively. Co-cultures and mineralizing were significantly different (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>As osteoblasts can secret lots of osteogenic cell cytokines, they have more significant effect than mineralizing culture medium on osteogenesis of DPSC.</p>
