Coronavirus disease 2019 has become a pandemic. The transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is strong, and the population is generally susceptible. The virus enters target cells via angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 as a cellular receptor.Spike protein is activated by serine protease TMPRSS2. The virus can cause damage to multiple organs, and there are currently no specific drugs for this virus. However, several assessments and studies have been carried out. At present, the epidemic situation in China has been effectively controlled. However,the number of infections abroad has increased rapidly. Therefore, the epidemic situation in foreign countries is still very serious. The global epidemic prevention and control work is facing huge challenges. In order to effectively prevent and treat coronavirus disease 2019, this article reviews the etiology, pathological mechanism, pathological manifestations, and development of therapeutic drugs for coronavirus disease 2019.

Objective To analyze the prevention condition of skin tears of inpatients in level-III hospitals, so as to provide basis for making prevention strategies.Methods 14 level-III hospitals were involved in the cross-section survey. Within the same time period, using the same research tools, methods and procedure, 964 trained nurses inspected patients from head to toes, who were selected by convenience sampling, with hospital stay ≥24 h, with age≥18 years old, and with signature on the informed consent documents, and also investigated implementation of prevention measures. Results A total of 18 806 effective cases were obtained, with 238 locations of skin tears in 199 patients found. Incidence of hospital-acquired skin tears was 1. 06%. Implementation rate of risk assessment and nutrients and water supplement was 3. 92% and 10. 35%. Implementation rate of prevention of falling and falling down from bed was 51. 58% and 47. 20%. Usage of assistant tools and emollients accounted for 28. 23% and 2. 69%. Adopting suitable moving techniques and wearing long sleeves, trousers or long stockings accounted for 8.07% and 6.95%. Differences of incidence rate, risk assessment and implementation of prevention measures of skin tears among teaching hospitals, comprehensive hospitals and specialty hospitals were statistically meaningful ( P < 0. 05 for all ) . Conclusions Risk assessment and prevention of skin tears in these 14 level-III hospitals were not satisfactory. Prevention measures vary from different types of the hospitals. In future, nurses should be trained to strengthen awareness of risk assessment and prevention, and implementation rate and consistency of preventive measures should be improved.

Objective:To investigate the status and influencing factors of skin cleaning outside wound (hereinafter referred to as skin) in adult trauma patients.Methods:A multicenter cross-sectional investigation was conducted. From September 1 to 30, 2020, a total of 952 adult trauma patients who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to wound care clinics or trauma surgery wards of 13 military or local Grade Ⅲ Level A hospitals, including the General Hospital of the Eastern Theater Command of People's Liberation Army and the Army Medical Center, etc. A self-designed questionnaire on cleaning status of skin in trauma patients was released through the "questionnaire star" website to investigate basic information such as gender, age, education level, living status, and self-care ability, trauma information such as cause of injury, wound duration, trauma site, trauma depth, wound pain, wound peculiar smell, and wound cleaning solution, and skin cleaning status after injury such as whether to clean or not, cleaning method, cleaning frequency, cleaning duration in each time, or reasons for not cleaning. The patients who cleaned skin regularly after injury were included in cleaning group, and the other patients were included in no cleaning group. The basic information, trauma information, and skin cleaning status after injury of patients in 2 groups were investigated. Data were statistically analyzed with chi-square test, and binary multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed on indicators with statistically significant differences between the two groups to screen the independent influencing factors of skin cleaning in trauma patients.Results:A total of 952 questionnaires were received, and the recovery rate was 100%. Three invalid questionnaires were eliminated, and 949 valid questionnaires were obtained, with an effective rate of 99.68%. In 949 patients, there were 461 (48.6%) males and 488 (51.4%) females, aged 18-100 (50±18) years. Most patients were less than 60 years old, lived with their families, and could take care of themselves completely. Nearly half of the patients were with junior high school or below education level. The main causes of injury were sharp cutting injury and falling injury, the wound duration was 2-365 days, most of the injured parts were limbs and trunk, the wound depth was mostly full-thickness injury, and most patients had wound-related pain and no peculiar smell and used 5 g/L iodophor to clean the wound. Totally 684 (72.1%) patients cleaned their skin after injury, mainly by scrubbing with warm water, the cleaning frequency was mainly once or twice a week, and the cleaning time was mainly 10 or 15 min for each time. Totally 265 (27.9%) patients didn't clean their skin after injury, and the main causes for not cleaning were following the doctor's advice, followed by worrying about wound infection and loss of self-care ability. There were significantly statistical differences in constituent ratios of education level, self-care ability, cause of injury, wound pain, and wound peculiar smell of patients in 2 groups ( χ2=12.365, 24.519, 22.820, 9.572, 92.342, P<0.01). Education level, self-care ability, cause of injury, wound pain, and wound peculiar smell were potential influencing factors of skin cleaning in patients. Binary multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that self-care ability, wound pain, and wound peculiar smell were independent influencing factors of skin cleaning in patients (odds ratio=1.51, 0.52, 3.72, 95% confidence interval=1.08-2.12, 0.42-0.89, 2.66-5.22, P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusions:Self-care ability, wound pain, and wound peculiar smell are independent influencing factors of skin cleaning in adult trauma patients.

【Objective】 To compare the clinical features of Omicron and Delta cases, so as to provide scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. 【Methods】 The case-control study method was used to retrospectively analyze the clinical data of the Omicron cases admitted to the designated hospital for the treatment of COVID-19 in Xi’an from December 2021 to January 2022. and the Delta cases admitted during the same period were used as the control group. The demographic data, epidemiological history, vaccination status, clinical characteristics, laboratory tests, nucleic acid and antibody levels, and outcomes of patients in the two groups were collected and compared. 【Results】 A total of 21 patients were included in the study, 5 were Omicron patients and 16 were Delta cases. The mean age of the patients in the two groups were (38.20±15.07) and (37.69±10.39) years, respectively.The time interval between the last vaccination and the diagnosis was (145.40±77.92) days and (159.00±99.74) days, respectively. For the initial symptoms, the patients with Omicron were mainly characterized by throat discomfort (3, 60%), cough and sputum (2, 40%), and the patients with Delta were mainly characterized by throat discomfort (5, 31.25%), fatigue (5, 31.25%), cough and sputum (4, 25%). On admission, laboratory tests showed that 60% of Omicron patients had low lymphocytes and elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and 50% of patients in the delta group had elevated hemoglobin. The Ct values of ORFlab gene, N gene and E gene with Omicron were lower than those with Delta. And the difference of E gene between the two groups was statistically significant (t=-2.711, P=0.024). IgG antibody levels increased in both groups.The time for nucleic acid to turn negative with Omicron was (28.20±5.89) days, and it was (18.50±7.73) days with Delta, and the difference between the groups was statistically significant (t=2.565, P=0.019). The length of hospitalization with Omicron was (30.60±4.88) days, and that with Delta was (22.13±7.81) days, and the difference was statistically significant (t=2.270, P=0.035). 【Conclusions】 The initial symptoms of Omicron patients are mainly throat discomfort, cough and sputum. The clinical manifestations are generally mild. The nucleic acid test Ct value is lower. The time for nucleic acid to turn negative and the time for hospitalization are longer, and the potential infectiousness is stronger. Those eligible for vaccination should complete the full course of vaccination and booster vaccination as soon as possible. At the same time, the management of "early detection, early reporting, early isolation, and early treatment" should be implemented.
