The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic has lasted for nearly 4 months by this study was conducted. We aimed to describe drug utilization, disease progression, and adverse drug events of COVID-19.
A retrospective, single-center case series study enrolled 165 consecutive hospitalized COVID-19 patients who were followed up until March 25, 2020, from a designated hospital in Wuhan. Patients were grouped by a baseline degree of severity non-severe and severe. An analytical study of drug utilization, disease progression, and adverse events (AEs) of COVID-19 was conducted.
Of the 165 COVID-19 cases, antivirals, antibacterials, glucocorticoids, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) were administered to 92.7%, 98.8%, 68.5%, and 55.2% of patients, respectively. The total kinds of drugs administered to the severe subgroup [26, interquartile range (IQR) 18-39] were 11 more than the non-severe subgroup (15, IQR 10-24), regardless of comorbidities. The 2 most common combinations of medications in the 165 complied with the existing guidelines. Combination regimens containing antiviral drugs might be beneficial to assist COVID-19 recovery. Additionally, liver and kidney AEs should not be ignored.
This cohort study, based on a large sample of extensive hepatectomy cases, aimed to analyze the distribution of hepatectomy-related complications and to develop a predictive model of posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF).
Data of patients who underwent hepatectomy of ≥3 liver segments at the Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital from 2000 to 2016 were collected and analyzed. Information on hepatectomy-related complications was collected and risk factors were analyzed. A total of 1,441 eligible patients were randomly assigned at 31 ratio into the derivation (n=1,080) and validation (n=361) cohorts. The multivariable logistic regression model was used to establish the prediction model of PHLF in the derivation cohort.
The incidence rates of PHLF, ascites, bile leakage, intra-abdominal bleeding, and abscesses were 58.22%, 10.76%, 11.17%, 9.71%, and 4.16%, respectively. The 90-day perioperative mortality rate was 1.32%. Multivariate analyses found that age, gender, platelet, creatinine, gamma-glutamyltransfgery.
The activation and assembly of the NLRP3 inflammasome is dependent on the interaction between NLRP3 and the intermediate filament protein vimentin in an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) model. We investigated the role of vimentin in this process using human fetal lung (HFL-1) fibroblasts with vimentin transfer genes or gene knockdown and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) intervention.
HFL-1 cells [con-vector + LPS, vimentin-pCMV3 (VIM-pCMV3), con-siRNA, and vimentin siRNA (VIM-siRNA)] were treated with LPS. An oxidative stress damage assessment, apoptosis analysis, and quantification of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and IL-10 by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were performed. Immunoblotting was used to reveal the autophagy pathway.
We demonstrated that in response to LPS vimentin expression was lower in the HFL-1 cells with the vimentin gene knocked down. Specifically, an increase in oxidative stress, a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential, or an increase in calcium ion permeability resulted in an increase in the fibroblast apoptosis rate. In addition, the inflammatory response after vimentin gene knockout was upregulated, as indicated by higher levels of TNF-a, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10. Importantly, the mechanism of suppression of vimentin in the lung fibroblasts was caused by a decrease in autophagy, an increase in mitochondrial membrane protein, and a decrease in mitochondrial function, which may contribute to the augmented cellular injury generated during the response to LPS.
This study provides insights into whether vimentin may interfere with the inflammatory cascade by activating the autophagy pathway of mitochondrial lung fibroblasts in the early stage of acute lung injury (ALI).

Burn patients often have functional problems due to joint scar contracture. Patients suffering from such contracture often experience considerable limitations in daily life. Therefore, surgical treatment is often necessary. Skin grafts, especially full-thickness skin grafts and ***** remain the most commonly used surgical methods in clinical practice. However, there are no clear guidelines stating which technique is the most effective treatment. Herein, we conducted a retrospective cohort study over 10 years of experience at a single center to investigate whether ***** or FTSGs exhibit a better long-term effect.
We performed a retrospective chart review of patients with joint burn scar contracture and collected data related to patient demographic profiles, and detailed descriptions of the scars, surgical procedures, and follow-up were collected. We performed follow-up evaluation of three aspects adverse events (recontracture, ache, and pruritus), satisfaction scores for function and aesthetics, and scar qducing the recontracture rate and improving joint function.
If conditions permit, the application of different types of ***** may represent a better choice than FTSGs in terms of reducing the recontracture rate and improving joint function.
Tibial plateau fractures involving the posterior plateau (TPFIPs) are complex intra-articular fractures that are difficult to stabilize. Understanding the characteristics of these fractures together with the injury pattern is beneficial for surgeons to choose an optimal treatment strategy. However, the complicated morphology and injury patterns of TPFIPs are poorly characterized. The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate the injury patterns and fracture characteristics of complex TPFs by applying three-dimensional (3D) simulation and fracture mapping methods.
In total, 171 TPFIPs were retrospectively reviewed, and the injury pattern was simulated and analyzed by applying a 3D method with Mimics software, which allowed matching of the fractured articular surfaces of the tibial plateau to the femoral condyle surface. The major articular fracture lines were mapped and then superimposed on a template. The tibial motion angle after fracture injury pattern simulation and the major fracture line angle were quantitatively analyzed, while the injury patterns and fracture characteristics were qualitatively analyzed.
