Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2020;51(6):1450-1454
Objective: To analyze the influencing factors of death in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and provide a reference for clinically reducing the mortality of patients with COVID-19. Methods: Based on the retrospective analysis of the case data of all patients with COVID-19 admitted in our hospital from January 17th to February 25th, 2020, and the sex, age, whether or not to take Chinese medicine preparations during hospitalization, clinical classification, comorbidities, nucleic acid test results, admission time, discharge and other relevant indicators were collected for statistical analysis. Results: During the period of COVID-19, the number of patients of COVID-19 in our hospital gradually increased. At the epidemic peak period, 904 patients with COVID-19 were treated simultaneously. From January 17th to February 25th, 2020, a total of 1 305 patients with COVID-19 were treated in our hospital, including 632 males and 673 females, and the male to female ratio was 1:1.06. The age distribution ranged from 7 to 111 years, with a median of 63 (51, 70) years old. There was no significant difference in the age distribution of patients between different genders (Z = 1.217, P = 0.224). The results of univariate analysis showed that the patient's gender, age, whether to take Chinese medicine preparations during treatment, clinical classification, whether combined with underlying diseases (hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, tumors and uremia) and nucleic acid test results all could affect patients fatality rate. Logistics multivariate regression analysis found that taking traditional Chinese medicine preparations, clinical classification, and whether combined with underlying diseases were independent risk factors for death in patients with COVID-19. Conclusion: The death of patients with COVID-19 is related to various factors. Reducing the occurrence of critical illness, controlling underlying diseases, stabilizing blood pressure and blood sugar, actively improving cardio-cerebral vascular conditions, and stabilizing renal function are main measures to improve the therapeutic effect, and early application of traditional Chinese medicine treatment also plays a very important role in reducing the mortality of patients with COVID-19.

【Objective】 To analyze the relevant studies on blood donor cohort and explore the current research status, research hotspots and development trends of blood donor cohort studies abroad. 【Methods】 Based on the Web of Science Core Collection, the literature related to blood donor cohort was searched. After screening and data processing, bibliometric analysis was carried out from the volume of literature trends, disciplines, authors, institutional distribution and other aspects of the included literature. At the same time, CiteSpace 5.6R5 software was used to carry out visual analysis of countries/regions, literature co-citation, keyword co-occurrence, keyword clustering and keyword emergence. Results A total of 672 papers (654 research papers, 18 review papers) were included. The total number of papers published in the field of blood donor cohort study showed a steady upward trend since 1991, the fastest growth was between 2019 and 2020. The top three cited authors were Kaaks R (1 301 citations), Rinaldi S (1 186 citations) and Riboli E (1 130 citations); the top three institutions were RLUK library in the UK, the University of California and the University of Copenhagen; the top three countries/regions in the volume of literature were the United States (176 papers), Germany (64 papers) and France (54 papers), and they all co-operated closely with other countries. The top five keywords were "blood donor" , "prevalence" , "infection" , "risk" and "antibody" . A total of 19 clusters were obtained by keyword cluster analysis, it was reflected in the immune mechanism and prevalence of blood-borne diseases, the relationship between blood donation behavior and non-communicable disease and its influencing factors, and the classification of the characteristics of blood donors. "Non-hepatitis B" was the keyword with the greatest burst intensity. The keywords that have burst out in recent years and continue to this day include "donation" , "seroprev-alence" , "donor" and "management" . Conclusion At present, the cohort study of blood donors has been paid more and more attention in the world, and its research trends mainly focus on the study of transfusion-transmitted disease risk. However, more researches begin to pay attention to the health problems and influencing factors of blood donors or recipients, which provides the research ideas and directions for establishing cohort study among blood donors in China.

MethodA total of 102 cases of SLE with syndrome of intense heat toxin (admitted from January 2020 to December 2021) were divided into a control group and an observation group by random number table method, with 51 cases in each group. Patients in the control group received conventional western medicine treatment (hydroxychloroquine sulfate + poonisone acetate tablets). Patients in the observation group were given Xijiao Dihuangtang combined with acupuncture based on the treatment of the control group. Clinical efficacy, onset time, symptom improvement time, skin lesion regression time, and hospital stays were recorded. Blood routine index change, 24 h urine protein levels, double-stranded DNA (ds-DNA) antibodies resistance index changes, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome integral changes, and changes in serum cytokine indexes, blood rheology indexes, and T lymphocyte subsets indexes were observed. SLE changes in disease activity index (SLEDAI-2000), quality of life (SF-36) scores, and adverse reactions were explored. ResultThe total effective rate was 96.08% (49/51) in the observation group, higher than 84.31% (43/51) in the control group (χ2=3.991, P<0.05). The onset time, symptom improvement time, skin lesion regression time, and hospital stays in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group (P<0.05,P<0.01). Before treatment, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), platelet count (PLT), hemoglobin (HGB), white blood cell count (WBC), and other blood routine indexes, 24h urinary protein levels, anti-ds-DNA, TCM syndrome integral core, serum cytokine indexes including interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-6, soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R), blood rheology indexes (fibrinogen, plasma viscosity, and whole blood viscosity),T lymphocyte subsets indexes (CD4+, CD8+, and CD4+/CD8+), SLEDAI-2000, and SF-36 score comparison in both groups had no statistical significance. After treatment, the above indicators were improved in each group (P<0.05), and the indicators in the observation group was better than that in the control group (P<0.05). In terms of the adverse reactions, there was 1 case of digestive tract reaction, 1 case of elevated aminotransferase, and 1 case of insomnia in the observation group. There were 2 cases of digestive tract reaction,1 case of infection, and 1 case of elevated transaminase in the control group. The difference of the adverse reactions between the two groups had no statistical significance. ConclusionXijiao Dihuangtang combined with acupuncture has good clinical effect on the treatment of SLE with syndrome of intense heat toxin, and the method is safe, reliable, and worthy of application.
