Objective To discuss the clinical features of dystonia manifested as Parkinsonism ( PKS) . Methods Clinical materials of a patient with dystonia manifested as PKS were analyzed retrospectively. Results The onset age of the young women was 31 years old, who was started asymmetrically with symptoms of claudication and tremor of the right foot. Levodopa had a short-term effect. The results of dopamine transporter ( DAT) PET showed that DAT in retrolentiform part were decreased significantly. Atypical Parkinson's disease was considered and she was treated as PKS long-termly. Subsequently, heterozygous mutation of c. 268-4T>A (NM_018105) in DYT6 gene was found through the next-generation sequencing, which was a kind of splicing mutation and confirmed by the first-generation sequencing. Conclusions Patients with dystonia might share similar clinical manifestations with PKS. Particularly, they should be differentiated with young-onset Parkinson's disease combined with focal dystonia. Clinical observation and genetic testing are important approaches to differentiate them.

Objective:To explore the risk factors involved in gastritis, gastric intraepithelial neoplasia (GIN) and gastric cancer in Shihezi area.Methods:A total of 7 110 Han nationality patients who underwent gastroscopy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Shihezi University School of Medicine from January 2012 to December 2016 were selected as the research subjects. The data of patients were obtained through medical records and questionnaires. After excluding diseases related to esophagus and duodenum, a total of 4 429 cases were included in the retrospective analysis. Of which, 4 249 were gastritis, 93 were GIN, and 87 were gastric cancer. χ2 test, rank-sum test or Fisher exact probability method were used to analyze the differences of various factors in gastritis, GIN and gastric cancer. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to screen the risk factors for gastritis progression to GIN and gastric cancer. Results:χ2 test and rank sum test showed that there were statistically significant differences in gender, age, history of digestive diseases and distribution of Helicobacter pylori ( HP) infection among the groups of gastritis, GIN and gastric cancer ( P<0.05). The proportion of HP infection decreased gradually with the disease severity. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that male ( P<0.001, OR=2.251, 95% CI: 1.461-3.470), elderly ( P<0.001, OR=4.829, 95% CI: 2.241-10.409), a family history of gastric cancer ( P=0.002, OR=3.227, 95% CI: 1.537-6.774) and a history of digestive diseases ( P=0.034, OR=1.644, 95% CI: 1.037-2.607) were independent risk factors for gastritis progression to GIN. Male ( P<0.001, OR=3.254, 95% CI: 2.026-5.225), middle-aged ( P=0.022, OR=2.688, 95% CI: 1.153-6.265) and elderly ( P=0.002, OR=4.734, 95% CI: 1.750-12.807) were independent risk factors for gastritis progression to gastric cancer. In stratified analysis to exclude age and gender, smoking ( P=0.028, OR=4.060, 95% CI: 1.160-14.202) was found to be a risk factor for gastritis progression to GIN in young adults, and obesity ( P=0.032, OR=3.869, 95% CI: 1.121-13.356) was found to be a risk factor for gastritis progression to gastric cancer in women. Conclusion:The degree of HP infection in gastric tissues is negatively correlated with the severity of gastric diseases, suggesting that HP infection may be an early event inducing gastric cancer. Male, the elderly, people with a family history of gastric cancer and a history of digestive diseases, and young smokers in Shihezi are more likely to develop GIN, and male, middle-aged, elderly, and obese women are at increased risk of gastric cancer.

Following the principles of evidence-based medicine,in accordance with the structure and drafting rules of standardized documents,based on literature research,according to the characteristics of chronic cough in children and issues that need to form a consensus,the TCM Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Cough in Children was formulated based on the Delphi method,expert discussion meetings,and public solicitation of opinions.The guideline includes scope of application,terms and definitions,eti-ology and diagnosis,auxiliary examination,treatment,prevention and care.The aim is to clarify the optimal treatment plan of Chinese medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease,and to provide guidance for improving the clinical diagnosis and treatment of chronic cough in children with Chinese medicine.

Abstract
To study the antiviral effect ofZedoary TurmericOil Injection on novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 viroid cell lines were preparedin vitroand treated with different concentrations of Zedoary Oil. The cell number and relative fluorescence value(RLU) were observed and measured, and the 50% effective inhibitory concentration(IC 50) was calculated. Four patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 were clinically included, including 2 in the control group and 2 in the experimental group. The control group received conventional treatment, and the experimental group receivedZedoary TurmericOil Injection in addition to conventional treatment. The nucleic acid conversion rate, conversion time, pulmonary imaging changes, fever reduction time, clinical improvement time and adverse events of the patients were observed.In vitroexperiment, the relative fluorescence value decreased with increasing concentration ofZedoary TurmericOil, which was significantly different from that of the control group(P<0.05). The IC50 was 0.26 μg/ml.In vivostudy, the novel coronavirus nucleic acid in stool of case 1 in the test group turned negative in 3 days, the cough symptom of case 2 was significantly relieved, and there was obvious absorption in pulmonary imaging. The negative conversion time of novel coronavirus nucleic acid in the control group was 5 and 7 days respectively. No adverse events occurred in the experimental group.Zedoary TurmericOil had strong inhibitory effect on SARS-COV-2 virusin vitrowhich was dose-dependent.In vivotreatment of COVID-19,Zedoary TurmericOil Injection combined with conventional treatment can improve the cough caused by SARS-COV-2 infection, promote SARS-COV-2 to turn negative, promote absorption of lung lesions, and reduce lung injury, with no obvious adverse events.
