Objective To investigate the change and clinical value of serum cystain C(CysC)level in the patients with HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B(CHB).Methods 212 cases of CHB in our hospital were selected and divided into the HBeAg-negative group and the HBeAg-positive group according to the HBeAg status.105 healthy individuals at the same time were enrolled as the control group.The levels of serum CysC,ALT,AST,Cr,BUN and HBV DNA in 3 groups were detected and compared.The corre-lations between serum CysC with AST,AST,Cr,Bun,HBV DNA were analyzed by the Pearson correlation analysis.Results The mean CysC level in the HBeAg-negative group was (1 .40±0.36)mg/L,which was higher than (0.93±0.12)mg/L in the control group and (0.96±0.18)mg/L in the HBeAg-positive group,the differences between them was statistically significant(P <0.05). The CysC was significantly positively correlated with serum Cr level in the HBeAg-negative group(r=0.840,P <0.01).Conclusion The CysC level might be used as an effective index for monitoring the early kidney injury in the patients with HBeAg-negative CHB,which has important significance in the prevention and treatment of HBeAg-negative CHB.

Objective:To describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) -infected pneumonia in Enshi, Hubei, and to improve the awareness of the disease, which is key for surveillance and control measures of 2019-nCoV pneumonia in the region.Methods:The first 66 laboratory-confirmed 2019-nCoV patients in Enshi between January 23, 2020 and February 1, 2020 were included. Their epidemiological data, demographic data, clinical data and therapeutic effect were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among the first 66 patients with confirmed 2019-nCoV, patients had an average age of 46±9 years, 35 (53.0%) patients were male and 31 (47.0%) female; 38 (57.6%) patients were Han, 18 (27.3%) were Tujia, and 10 (15.1%) were Miao. Thirty-seven (56%) patients had chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, chronic bronchus, inflammation, diabetes, hypertension, hypothyroidism, and rheumatoid arthritis. All the patients had a history of exposure or indirect exposure in Wuhan epidemic area, mainly history of Wuhan sojourner. The mean incubation period varied from 2.5-16 days, with the 95th percentile of the distribution at 7 days. The main clinical manifestation were fever [66 (100%) patients], dry cough [56 (84.8%)], chest tightness [21 (31.8%)], shortness of breath [8 (12.1%)], massive fatigue [23 (34.8%)], muscle ache [6 (9.1%)], headache [4 (6.1%)], sore throat [13 (19.7%) ], rhinorrhoea [11 (16.7%) ], and diarrhea [ 5 (7.6%)]. Six (9.1%) critically ill patients and 4 (6.1%) critically ill patients had dyspnea. White blood cell counts were normal or decreased in 51 (77.3%) patients, and increased in 15 (22.7%). Lymphocyte counts were reduced or normal in 58 (87.9%) patients, and increased in 8 (12.1%) patients. Most patients had elevated CRP and erythrocyte sedimentation, and some patients had normal ranges of liver function, renal function, and electrolytes. Ten severely ill patients had elevated liver enzymes and cardiac enzymes (especially K and CKMB). There were significant differences in inflammatory markers among patients of different nationalities. Arterial blood gas analysis in 56 (84.8%) mild patients showed no significant abnormalities. Chest CT scans of 66 patients showed single or multiple small patchy shadows and interstitial changes, which were evident in the extrapulmonary band. All patients were hospitalized and isolated for treatment. Of the 66 patients received oxygen therapy, most of them received antiviral therapy (abidol/Kaletra, 0.2 g po tid/2 pills po bid) and interferon (aerosol inhalation), few patient received antibacterial therapy (Tanreqing, 20 mL ivgtt qd) and glucocorticoid therapy (methylprednisolone, 40 mg ivgtt bid), and supplemented by traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Six (9.1%) severely ill patients and 4 (6.1%) critically ill patients treated with non-invasive or invasive ventilator.Conclusions:The patients in this study are all imported cases. Most patients have mild clinical symptoms. The lungs show single or multiple small patchy shadows and interstitial changes, which are obvious with extrapulmonary bands. Seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and the above-mentioned symptomatic treatment scheme is effective. The overall morbidity and mortality in this region are lower than those in other parts of the province, and the mortality and critical illness rate of ethnic minority patients are lower than those of Han patients. There are significant differences in inflammatory markers such as leukocytes and lymphocytes among patients of different nationalities.
