RESUMO
Faced with the current large-scale public health emergency, collecting, sorting, and analyzing biomedical information related to the "coronavirus" should be done as quickly as possible to gain a global perspective, which is a basic requirement for strengthening epidemic control capacity. However, for human researchers studying the viruses and the hosts, the vast amount of information available cannot be processed effectively and in a timely manner, particularly when the scientific understanding may be limited, which can further lower the information processing efficiency. We present TWIRLS, a method that can automatically acquire, organize, and classify information. Additionally, independent functional data sources can be added to build an inference system using a machine-based approach, which can provide relevant knowledge to help human researchers quickly establish subject cognition and to make more effective decisions. TWIRLS can automatically analyze more than three million words in more than 14,000 literature articles in only 4 hours. Combining with generalized gene interaction databases creates a data interface that can help researchers to further analyze the information. Using the TWIRLS system, we found that an important regulatory factor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) may be involved in the host pathological changes on binding to the coronavirus after infection. After triggering functional changes in ACE2/AT2R, an imbalance in the steady-state cytokine regulatory axis involving the Renin-Angiotensin System and IP-10 leads to a cytokine storm.

RESUMO
Objective To explore the clinical application of GlideScope video laryngoscope combined with fiberoptic bronchoscope for double-lumen endobronchial tube intubation in patients with difficult glottis exposure.Methods Forty patients undergoing scheduled for thoracic surgery (24 males,1 6 females,aged 24-78 years,falling into ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ,Mallampati classification Ⅲ or Ⅳ, were randomly divided into two groups (n=20 each):GlideScope video laryngoscope combined with fiberoptic bronchoscope group (group GF)and Macintosh laryngoscope group (group M).In group GF,GlideScope video laryngoscopy combined with fiberoptic bronchoscope was used to guide the double-lumen tube bronchial intubation and then bronchoscope was used to check the placement of the tube.In group M,the double-lumen endobronchial tube was intubated with conventional macintosh laryngoscope,and then the placement of the tube was checked by bronchoscope.The results of the Cormack and Lehane grade measuring the degree of glottic opening during laryngoscopy,the intuba-tion time consumed,one-time intubation success rate,patients manoeuvre needed to aid tracheal intu-bation and endotracheal intubation related complications within 48 hours after operation were recorded and compared between the two groups.Results Compared with group M,the Cormack and Lehane grade was significantly better (P < 0.01 ), intubation time consumed was significantly shorter [(104.3±1 1.1)s vs.(138.6 ± 33.0)s](P < 0.01 ),one-time intubation success rate was higher (90% vs.55%)(P <0.05 ),fewer patients needed manoeuvre to aid tracheal intubation (20% vs. 90%)(P < 0.01 )and postoperative complications of hoarseness and pharyngalgia within 48 hours were significantly fewer (5% vs.35%,25% vs.75%)in group GF(P <0.05 ).Conclusion Com-pared with conventional method, GlideScope video laryngoscope combined with fiberoptic bronchoscope used to guide double-lumen endobronchial tube intubation in patients with difficult glottis exposure may improve the success rate of intubation,reduce the stress response of intubation and postoperative complications of hoarseness and pharyngalgia.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the prophylactic effect of methylprednisolone combined with granisetron on postoperative nausea and vomiting.Methods Two hundred patients scheduled for lumpectomy of breast were randomly divided into four groups with 50 cases each.The patients in group M1 received a pre-anesthesia intravenous doses of methylprednisolone 25 mg,the patients in group M2 were injected methylpredsisolone 25 mg repeatedly four hours later,in group D received a pre-anesthesia doses of dexamethasone 5 mg,in group N normal saline 2 ml.All the four groups of patients received granisetron 3 mg intravenously at the end of surgery.The incidence of nausea and vomiting in the 24 hours were observed.Results The PONV incidences of group M1,M2,D,N were 36%,18%,38% and 58%.Both group M1,M2 and D significantly decreased the total inci-dence of PONV (P <0.05)in the 24 h.The incidence of PONV was significantly lower in group M2, compared with group M1 and group D respectively (P <0.05).Conclusion Methylprednisolone-gran-isetron combination is as equally effective as dexamethasone-granisetron combination for preventing PONV in lumpectomy,but repeated methylprednisolone after 4 h is more effective than dexametha-sone and single-used methylprednisolone.
