COVID-19 is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by 2019-nCoV, which has become a major global public health event and a serious threat to human health. So far, specific antiviral drugs, safe and effective vaccines for 2019-nCoV are still under development, so there is an urgent need to find alternative strategies for the treatment of COVID-19. Convalescent plasma(CP) contains high titer neutralizing antibodies from patients recovering from infectious diseases, which has been used in the treatment of major infectious diseases such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), and achieved satisfactory clinical results. Therefore, CP from COVID-19 patient is a meaningful choice for the treatment of severe or life-threatening COVID-19 patients, but its potential risks need to be studied. This review focuses on the clinical mechanism, collection points, clinical application and potential benefits and risks of clinical treatment of CP from COVID-19 patients, which will provide reference for the clinical application of CP from COVID-19 patients.

This equipment is compatible with the different specification specimen containers and the container cap, and the specimen container cap was stepped up and rotated with same power component.Results: The application of equipment has reduced the manufacturing cost and maintenance cost for specimen container, improved the system reliability, solved the current technical problems of the equipment, such as poor adaptability and lower liability. Conclusion: The design of equipment mainly adapts to CS-6400 series of automatic biochemical analyzer, and it can improve the detection efficiency of biological specimen, reduce the cross contamination and satisfy the practice necessity for clinical detection.

Background:Acute hepatic failure( AHF)is a common pathophysiological process of end-stage liver disease with complex etiology,difficulty in diagnosis and high mortality rate. Aims:To investigate the protective effect of nicotinamide on AHF in mice. Methods:AHF model in mice was established by intraperitoneal injection with D-galactosamine 700 mg/kg and lipopolysaccharide 10 μg/kg. Fifty-four mice were divided into blank control group,nicotinamide control group, AHF model group and low,moderate,high dose(400,800,1 000 mg/kg)nicotinamide groups,levels of ALT,AST, TNF-α and IL-6 were determined,HE staining was used to examine hepatic histological injury,liver cell apoptosis was measured by TUNEL assay,and protein expression of Caspase-3 was detected by Western blotting. Another 40 mice were divided into AHF model group,saline group and low,moderate,high dose(400,800,1 000 mg/kg)nicotinamide groups,mortality rate was observed dynamically. Results:Compared with blank control group and nicotinamide control group,levels of ALT and AST were significantly increased(P<0. 05),infiltration of inflammatory cells and necrosis of cells and levels of TNF-α and IL-6 were significantly increased( P <0. 05 ),and apoptosis of liver cells and protein expression of Caspase-3 were significantly increased in AHF model group(P <0. 05). In groups pretreated with low, moderate and high dose nicotinamide,all the above-mentioned indices were significantly improved in a dose-dependent manner(P<0. 05). Survival rate in low,moderate,high dose nicotinamide groups was significantly higher than that in AHF model group(37. 5%,62. 5%,100% vs. 0%,P all <0. 05). Conclusions:Nicotinamide could protect mice from AHF via inhibiting inflammatory response and hepatocyte apoptosis,thereby increase the survival rate.

[Objective]To investigate the clinical value of different magnetic resonance(MR) pulse sequences in the diagnosis of bone contusion.[Method]Forty-five patients with bone contusion underwent magnetic resonance imaging(MRI).All cases underwent computed radiography(CR),digital radiography(DR)or computed tomography(CT)and no bone fracture were revealed.Complications included swelling、pain and limit activity.The sagittal,coronal and transversal scanning were performed by Siemens Novus1.5T magnetic resonance imaging.The body coil were used on spines and knee coil on knees.MR pulse sequences included spin echo T1WI,Turbo spin echo T2WI,fl-2d T2WI and fat suppressed sequence T2WI.[Result]In 45 cases with bone contusion,44 cases were revealed on spin echo T1WI(97.7%),37 cases on Turbo spin echo T2WI(82.2%),24 cases on fl-2d T2WI(75%),45 cases on fat suppressed sequence T2WI(100%).The fat suppressed sequence T2WI was superior to TSE T2WI(

Objective To study the effect of Qi - Xiong mixture on neurotransmitter in AD rats. Methods Assessments were carried out with diving platform and light - electricity contrasting color. Results As compared with model group,the prevented and treated rats showed longer period of time in getting electric shock ( P

As an emerging tumor marker, the rarity and heterogeneity of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) increase the difficulty of detection. In recent years, CTCs enrichment technology based on biophysical, biochemical and microfluidic properties has been continuously developed, which has promoted the research and application of CTCs in malignant tumors diagnosis, clinical treatment and prognosis evaluation. Although there are still some deficiencies in the detection of CTCs, with the interdisciplinary integration, CTCs will play increasingly important roles in the diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of transurenthral resection of muscleinvasive bladder tumor (TURBT) in senile. Methods This study was clinical prospective random research.46 senile cases with muscle-invasive bladder cancer treated by TURBT was divided into 2 groups:control group and observed group.The observed group was treated with TURBT combined with intravesical instillation of pirarubi 30 mg immediately after TURBT,the bladder wall around tumor was resected thoroughly.The control group underwent radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection. Results The clinical improvement rate was higher in observed group than control group (85.7％ s.63.6％,X2 =5.3008,P=0.021).There was not difference in 3 years recurrence rate between observed group(25.0％) and control group(13.6％) (x2 =S.3008,P＞0.05).The 1 year survival rate were 95.8％,90.9％ and 3 years survival rate were 79.2％,72.7％ in observed group and control group,respectively,and there were no differences between the two groups(X2 =0.262,P=0.609). Conclusions TURBT combined with intravesical instillation of pirarubi can enhance clinical effect and reduce recurrence rate in the treatment of the elderly with muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Human avian-origin influenza A (H7N9)virus is a novel subtype of avian influenza A virus,which firstly emerged at the end of March 2013 in Shanghai and Anhui province.It rapidly spread in China within a short time,causing high morbidity and mortality,arousing fear and panic in public,and attracting extensive attention worldwide.The analysis of human H7N9 avian influenza virus gene shows a high affinity for α-2,6-linked sialic acid receptors expressed on human respiratory epithelial cells.At present,the sporadic cases of human H7N9 avian influenza virusare occasionally reported with an epidemic peaksat winter and spring.This article reviews clinical features,epidemiology and genetic characteristics of H7N9 avian influenza virus,proving scientific evidences foreffective prevention and control of H7N9 virus infection.
