AIM: To investigate the pathological feature of neuron in the process of lymphostatic cerebro dema.METHODS: The model of lyphostatic cerebro edema was established by occluding and removing both the shallow and deep cervical lymph nodes in rats. The tissues of their brains were studied at different times after the operation, under light-microscope (HE stain and TUNEL stain) and electron-microscope.RESULTS: Cerebroedema appeared 2 days after the blockage of cervical lymphatic. Apoptosis and necrosis of neuron were observed in cerebral cortical of parietal lobus and hippocampal CA1 sector mainly. The alterations above were most noticeable at fifths day after the blockage. CONCLUSION: The blockage of the drainage of the cerebral lymphatic can lead to lymphastatic cerebroedema. Neuronal apoptosis and necrosis was the main pathological feature in the brain.

Objective:To explore the value of cardiovascular MR (CMR) T 1 mapping in evaluating myocardial injury in patients recovered from COVID-19. Methods:The clinical and image data of 15 patients with COVID-19 (9 with moderate clinical manifestation, 6 with severe clinical manifestation) who underwent CMR screening at 3 months after being discharged from the Second People′s Hospital of Fuyang City during May 2020 to June 2020 were prospective collected. Fifteen COVID-19 patients were selected as case group, and another 11 healthy volunteers were selected as control group. A standardized CMR protocol included cine, native and enhanced T 1 mapping, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). Cardiac functional parameters, native T 1 value of left ventricular and extracellular volume fraction (ECV) were measured. One way ANOVA was used to assess the difference between CMR parameters among moderate and severe manifestation groups and control group, and LSD- t was used to assess the difference between the three groups. Results:LGE value was negative in all subjects. ECV values were higher in recovered COVID-19 patients with either moderate (27.9%±2.7%) or severe manifestation (30.0%±3.7%) than control group (23.2±1.9%) ( P<0.05); there was no significant difference of ECV values between recovered COVID-19 patients with moderate and severe manifestation ( P=0.100). There was no difference of native T 1 values and other functional and morphologic parameters of left ventricular and right ventricular among recovered COVID-19 patients with moderate and severe manifestation and control group ( P>0.05). Conclusion:CMR myocardial tissue ECV increase in patients who recovered from COVID-19, suggesting subclinical myocardial injury.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of critical patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), build an early warning model for severe/critical type, and aim at providing reference for the prediction of severe/critical COVID-19.Methods:The clinical data of COVID-19 patients treated in the Second People' Hospital of Fuyang City from January 20th to February 18th in 2020 were retrospective analyzed, including the demographic and epidemiological date, vital signs and hematology indexes, etc. on admission. Patients were divided into the normal type (set as normal group) and severe/critical type (set as severe group) according to the COVID-19 treatment plan classification standard published by National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China. The differences between two groups were compared, and the variables with statistical significance were incorporated in the multivariate binary unconditional Logistic regression analysis to screen the risk factors of severe/critical type. Risk factors were summarized to establish an early warning model, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was carried out to evaluate the significance of the early warning model in the screening of critically COVID-19.Results:A total of 155 patients with COVID-19 were admitted, including 125 patients of normal type and 30 patients of severe/critical type. ① Compared with normal group, patients in severe group were older, and with higher proportion of basic diseases, higher body mass index (BMI), higher incidence of tachypnea, persistent high fever, peripheral blood oxygen saturation (SpO 2) < 0.95, while the white blood cell count (WBC), CD4 + T lymphocyte, CD8 + T lymphocyte, lymphocyte count (LYM) were decreased obviously, the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid a protein (SAA), and CT showed higher incidence of multi-pulmonary lobe lesions. There were no significant differences of gender, travel history from Wuhan, smoking history, shock index (SI) and CD4 +/CD8 + ratio between the two groups. ② Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥60 years old [odds ratio ( OR) = 1.620, P = 0.031], combined with underlying diseases ( OR = 1.521, P = 0.044), persistent high fever ( OR = 2.469, P = 0.014), WBC < 2.0×10 9/L and/or LYM < 0.4×10 9/L ( OR = 3.079, P = 0.006), pulmonary multilobar lesions ( OR = 1.367, P = 0.047), and IL-6 ≥ 30 ng/L ( OR = 2.426, P = 0.010) were the risk factors of severe/critical COVID-19. ③ The OR value corresponding to each risk factors were scored by rounding. Two points were scored for age≥60 years old, with underlying diseases, persistent high fever and IL-6 ≥ 30 ng/L, 3 points for WBC < 2.0×10 9/L and/or LYM < 0.4×10 9/L, 1 point for pulmonary multilobar lesions, and totally calculated as early warning model scores. The early warning model score of the severe group was significantly higher than that of the normal group (9.33±2.79 vs. 5.04±2.38, t = 9.010, P = 0.001). ④ The ROC curve analysis showed the area under ROC curve (AUC) of early warning model on the early screening of severe/critical patients in COVID-19 was 0.944, and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.903-0.985; and the sensitivity and specificity were 93.3% and 72.0% respectively while the cut-off was 6.5. Conclusions:There are many differences between severe/critical and mild COVID-19 patients. The establishment of early warning model could help to screen severe/critical patients at an early stage, with certain significance for guiding treatment.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) and the factors influencing mild cases developing into severe cases, so as to provide a basis for clinical screening, prevention and treatment of potential severe cases.Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical characteristics of 168 cases who were admitted to two tertiary general hospitals in Anhui province and diagnosed with COVID-19 from January 20 to March 4, 2020. According to the classification criteria in the COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment program (trial version 6) issued by the National Health Commission, the mild and common cases were classified as the mild group ( n=137), and the severe and critical cases were classified as the severe group ( n=31). The general data, epidemiological history, clinical manifestations, laboratory examination and imaging indexes of the two groups were compared. Univariate analysis was performed. Then multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted on the factors with statistically significant differences in univariate analysis to obtain independent influencing factors of the occurrence of severe COVID-19. Results:Among the 168 COVID-19 patients, 95 were male and 73 were female, with an average age of 42.6±15.8 years old. The mean age of the mild group was younger than that of the severe group (40.5±15.5 vs 51.6 ±14.1, P<0.01). The proportion of patients combined with hypertension (29.0% vs 10.9%), diabetes (25.8% vs 2.2%, P=0.005) and two or more underlying diseases (29.0% vs 4.4%, P=0.006) in the severe group were significantly higher than those in the mild group. In the severe group, the proportion of patients receiving initial treatment in Medical institutions below secondary hospitals was significantly higher than that in the mild group ( P<0.01), and the time between symptom onset and diagnosis was longer [(8.00±3.27) d vs (6.49±3.90) d, P=0.048]. There was no significant difference in the initial symptoms between the mild group and the severe group. However, the body temperature was higher in the severe group [(38.80±0.67)℃ vs (37.9±0.60)℃, P<0.01]. At the time of admission, the lymphocyte percentage of the severe group was significantly lower than that of the mild group [(18.20±9.13)% vs (24.43±10.43)%, P<0.01], while C-reactive protein, interleukin-6 (IL-6), D-dimer, LDH, aspartate and aminotransferase were significantly higher than that of the mild group ( P<0.01). CT imaging showed that 11 (8%) patients in the mild group had lesions confined to a single lobe of the lung, while all patients in the severe group had multi-lobe lesions ( P<0.01). All the 168 COVID-19 patients in this study were cured, and the length of hospital stay in the severe group was significantly longer than that in the mild group [(24.71±7.72) d vs (20.28±7.67) d, P=0.021]. According to multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis, age ( P=0.042), diabetes ( P=0.021), body temperature at admission ( P=0.001), and IL-6 measured at admission ( P=0.008) were independent factors affecting COVID-19 to severe progress. Conclusions:Strengthening the professional knowledge training of primary hospitals is helpful for early diagnosis of COVID-19. Patients with older age, combined with diabetes, high initial fever and significantly increased IL-6 level are more possibly to develop into severe disease. Early identification and prevention should be carried out.

{L-End}Objective To analyze the correlation between occupational burnout and sleep quality among steelworkers. {L-End}Methods A total of 11 491 steelworkers from a large steel enterprise in Gansu Province were selected as the research subjects using convenient sampling method. The Burnout Questionnaire and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale were used to investigate their occupational burnout and sleep quality. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to analyze the effects of occupational burnout on the sleep quality. {L-End}Results The detection rate of occupational burnout and sleep disorder were 50.4% and 39.0%, respectively. There was a positive correlation between the level of occupational burnout and the total score of sleep quality (Spearman correlation coefficient=0.454, P<0.05). The results of hierarchical regression analysis, adjusting for confounding factors such as gender, age, marital status, education level, alcohol consumption, exercise, weekly working hours, seniority, work shift, noise exposure, dust exposure, and high-temperature work, showed that the score of occupational burnout was positively related to the score of sleep quality(P<0.01), explaining 16.0% of the variance in the score of sleep quality among these steelworkers. {L-End}Conclusion The detection rate of occupational burnout and sleep disorders are relatively high among the steelworkers in this enterprise. Higher levels of occupational burnout are associated with poorer sleep quality. Alleviating occupational burnout among steelworkers may contribute to improving their sleep quality.
