To delineate the evolution of CT findings in patients with mild COVID-19 pneumonia.CT images and medical records 88 confirmed pneumonia, a baseline CT, at least one follow-up were retrospectively reviewed. features including lobar distribution presence ground glass opacities (GGO), consolidation, linear analyzed on per-patient basis during each five time intervals spanning 3 weeks after disease onset. Total severity scores calculated.Of patients, 85.2% had travel history to Wuhan or known...
Abstract: Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is an essential cause of treatment failure and death patients. The rapid reliable profiling Mycobacterium (MTB) drug resistance in the early stage a critical research area for public health. Then, most traditional approaches detecting MTB are time-consuming costly, leading to inappropriate therapeutic schedule resting on ambiguous information resistance, increasing patient economic burden, morbidity, mortality. Therefore, novel diagnosis...
Objective: To identify the initial chest computed tomography (CT) findings and clinical characteristics associated with course of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia.Materials Methods: Baseline CT scans laboratory data 72 patients admitted COVID-19 pneumonia (39 men, 46.2 ± 15.9 years) were retrospectively analyzed.Baseline including lobar distribution, presence ground glass opacities, consolidation, linear lung severity score evaluated.The outcome event was recovery hospital...
Background As a pandemic, most-common pattern resembled organizing pneumonia (OP) has been identified by CT findings in novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). We aimed to delineate the evolution of and outcome OP COVID-19. Materials methods 106 COVID-19 patients with based on were retrospectively included categorized into non-severe (mild/common) severe (severe/critical) groups. features including lobar distribution, presence ground glass opacities (GGO), consolidation, linear total severity...
Abstract Background Aurora kinase A (AURKA) has been implicated in the regulation of cell cycle progression, mitosis and a key number oncogenic signaling pathways various malignancies including neuroblastoma. Small molecule inhibitors AURKA have shown potential, but still not as good expected effects clinical trials. Little is known about this underlying mechanism. Here, we evaluated inhibitory inhibitor MLN8237 on neuroblastoma cells to understand potential mechanisms responsible for tumor...
Tuberculosis (TB), which affects primarily the lungs (pulmonary TB) apart from other vital organs, is a life‐threatening chronic deadliest infectious disease caused by members of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) complex and mainly MTB itself. The emergence new virulent forms that are resistant to some or all first‐line second‐line anti‐TB agents, including multidrug‐resistant (MDR), extensively drug‐resistant, totally drug‐resistant strains has further aggravated spread this was increased up...
Abstract Given its high resistance, enhanced virulence, and transmissibility, community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) pneumonia is highly associated with morbidity mortality. Anti-virulence therapy a promising strategy that bypasses the evolutionary pressure on bacterium to develop resistance. RNAIII-inhibiting peptide (RIP), as an accessory gene regulator ( agr )-specific inhibitor, significantly restricts virulence of S. protects infected mice from death...
In addition to birth and death, migration is also an important factor that determines the level of population aging in different regions, especially under current context low fertility mortality China. Drawing upon data from fifth sixth national census 287 prefecture-level cities China, this study explored spatial patterns its trends 2000 2010 We further examined how large-scale internal was related differences changes by using multivariate quantitative models. Findings showed percentage...
Background As global healthcare system is overwhelmed by novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), early identification of risks adverse outcomes becomes the key to optimize management and improve survival. This study aimed provide a CT-based pattern categorization predict outcome COVID-19 pneumonia. Methods 165 patients with (91 men, 4-89 years) underwent chest CT were retrospectively enrolled. findings categorized as Pattern0 (negative), Pattern1 (bronchopneumonia pattern), Pattern2...
Retinal metabolic changes have been suggested to be associated with myopia development. However, little is known about either their identity or time dependent behavior during this sight compromising process. To address these questions, gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-TOF/MS) was applied compare guinea pig retinal metabolite levels in form deprivation (FD) eyes at 3 days and 2 weeks post FD normal control (NC) eyes. Orthogonal partial least squares (OPLS) models...
This study shed light on the amount and structure of utilization medical expenses Shanghai permanent residents based big data, simulated lifetime through combining data life table model, explored dynamic pattern aging expenditures. 5 years were taken as class interval, collected did descriptive analysis services information for all ages in 2015, by using current cross-section expenditure data. The results showed that outpatient emergency visits per capita elderly group (aged 60 over) was 4.1...
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to explore the effects vitamin D supplementation on metabolic parameters in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods A total 60 PCOS deficiency or insufficiency were enrolled randomized controlled trial. Participants group (2000 IU/day) control group. observational measured at baseline and after treatment, including body mass index (BMI), waist hip ratio (WHR), oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) insulin release test, lipid metabolism...
Many studies have shown that glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). HbA1c was independently related to angiographic severity in Chinese patients CAD after adjusting for other covariates. Some traditional cardiovascular drugs may an impact on this relationship.This retrospective study enrolled a total of 572 who underwent their angiography and had levels measured at the Hospital. The complexity lesions evaluated using Syntax score, subjects were divided...
One aim of the current study was to track end-of-life care using individual data in Shanghai, China profile hospital costs for decedents and those entire population. A second this clarify effect proximity death. Data from Information Center Shanghai Municipal Commission Health Family Planning (SMCHFP) were examined. For who died medical facilities 2015, inpatient tracked 1 year before total 43,765 included study, accounting 35% deaths 2015 Shanghai. Hospital higher people age 45 (14,228.62...
Community-based day care centres play an important role in service delivery for Chinese seniors. Little research has examined how community living infrastructure influenced the establishment of these rural communities. The purposes this study were: (1) explore regional differences infrastructure; and (2) to examine impact such on seniors data were derived from “The Fourth Sample Survey Living Conditions Elderly People Urban Rural China (2015)”. at least one centre was outcome...
Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) and induction chemotherapy (IC) plus CCRT (IC + CCRT) are the main treatments for patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). We aimed to develop deep learning (DL) models using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging predict risk of residual tumor after each 2 provide a reference select best treatment option.A retrospective study was conducted on 424 locoregionally NPC who underwent or IC between June 2012 2019 in Renmin Hospital Wuhan University....

Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a serious threat to human health. Although early blood pressure (BP) elevation closely associated with poor prognosis, the optimal antihypertensive regimen for acute-phase ICH remains controversial. In ICH, pain, sleep deprivation, and stress are usually main causes of dramatic BP increases. While traditional treatment resolves increased BP, it does not address root cause disease. Remifentanil relieves pain and, when combined dexmedetomidine's...
