The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was identified in December and has subsequently spread worldwide. Currently, there is no effective method to cure COVID-19. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) may be able effectively treat COVID-19, especially for critical patients. Menstrual blood-derived MSCs have recently received much attention due their superior proliferation ability lack of ethical problems. Forty-four patients were...

Abstract A novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) was first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, and then spreads to the other Provinces of China. WHO decides determine a Public Health Emergency International Concern (PHEIC) 2019-nCoV. 2019-nCov reported share same receptor, Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), with SARS-Cov. Here based on public single-cell RNA-Seq datasets, we analyzed ACE2 RNA expression profile tissues at different locations respiratory tract. The result indicates that appears...

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) broke out and then became a global epidemic at the end of 2019. With increasing number deaths, early identification severity interpretation pathogenesis are very important. Aiming to identify biomarkers for progression COVID-19, 75 COVID-19 patients, 34 healthy controls 23 patients with pandemic influenza A(H1N1) were recruited in this study. Using liquid chip technology, 48 cytokines chemokines examined, among which 33 significantly elevated compared...

Plasma metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) testing is a promising diagnostic modality for infectious diseases, but its real-world clinical impact poorly understood. We reviewed patients who had undergone plasma mNGS at general hospital to evaluate the utility of testing. A total 76.9% (113/147) tests positive result. 196 microorganisms (58) were identified and reported, which 75.6% (148/196) clinically relevant. The median stringent mapped read number (SMRN) relevant organisms was...
