Objective To investigate the clinical features, laboratory findings, chest CT findings and treatment of patients with COVID-19, and to analyze their relationship with prognosis. Methods From January to February 2020, the clinical data on the 42 patients with COVID-19 admitted to the Wenzhou Sixth People′s Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Results The clinical symptoms of the 42 cases included fever (35 cases), cough (26 cases), fatigue (14 cases), aspiration (9 cases), sore throat (4 cases), muscle ache (5 cases), headache (2 cases), nausea (4 cases), diarrhea (6 cases) and abdominal pain (1 case).The absolute number of blood lymphocyte decreased to different degrees in 22 cases.Fourteen cases had lactate dehydrogenase obviously, with no obvious change in procalcitonin.The imaging manifestations were cloud-like and ground-glass-like high density shadows scattered outside the lungs, small flaky consolidation and bronchus inflating sign were seen locally.A few images showed diffuse high density, most of the lesions showed consolidation or striate change, and local fibrosis was formed in the lower lobes of both lungs. Conclusion Fever and cough are the first symptoms of COVID-19, and a few cases are associated with shortness of breath and diarrhea, accompanied by different degrees of systemic symptoms, but most of the patients improve their conditions after active antivirus, anti-infection, systematic symptoms improvement and supportive treatment.The disease is highly infectious and its condition changes rapidly.Therefore, early detection, early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of the whole body as soon as possible are the keys to treatment.

Objective The goal of this clinic study is to evaluate the application performance for 2 new HBV DNA Quantitative Fluorescence Diagnostic Kits, which are recently emerged in the market.Methods Serial diluted HBV serum samples and 1001 clinical serum samples with random virus load were tested quantitatively with the 3 diagnostic kits A, B and C. By studying their linear range, specificity,precision and sensitivity, the two new reagents (A and B ) were used to test these samples and also to compare them with the quantitative results from the boiling method kit (C) which is of better quality and reliability than similar diagnostic kits in current market. Furthermore, the immunoassy results of these samples were evalued and compared with their quantitative results. Results The quantitative results of 767 samples showed that their average values of the 3 kits have no significant difference. However, in the low viral load group, the results of kit A showed the best sensitivity(1.00E + 01 IU/ml)and had much better sensitivity than kit B (1.00E + 02 IU/ml), while kit C kit ( 5.00E + 02 IU/ml ) failed to test positive for most of the low concentration samples. Conclusion The nucleic acid extraction-free method ( kit B) showed much better accuracy and much larger linear range than the conventional method. In this method, the nucleic acid templates extracted by lysis buffer all went into the PCR reaction, resulting in high extraction efficiency and minimum nucleic acid loss. With a simple procedure, great accuracy and good sensitivity, this new test kit is suitable for routine clinical lab usage.

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the prospective association between cumulative resting heart rate (cumRHR) and rapid renal function decline (RRFD) in a cohort of individuals aged 60 and older.
METHODS:
In the Tianjin Chronic Kidney Disease Cohort Study, the individuals who underwent three consecutive physical examinations between 2014 and 2017, with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) greater than 60 mL/min per 1.73 m2 and aged 60 years or older were enrolled. A total of 27,564 patients were prospectively followed up from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2020. The 3-year cumRHR was calculated. The primary outcome was RRFD, defined as an annualized decline in eGFR of 5 mL/min per 1.73 m2 or greater. Logistic and restricted spline regression models and subgroup analysis were used to investigate the association of cumRHR with RRFD after adjusting for all confounders.
RESULTS:
During a median follow-up of 3.2 years, a total of 4,347 (15.77%) subjects developed RRFD. In fully-adjusted models, compared with the lowest quartile of cumRHR, the odds ratio (OR) for the highest was 1.44 (1.28-1.61), P < 0.001. Furthermore, each 1-standard deviation (27.97 beats/min per year) increment in cumRHR was associated with a 17% (P < 0.001) increased risk of RRFD, with a linear positive correlation (P for non-linear = 0.803). Participants with a 3-year cumRHR ≥ 207 (beats/min) * year (equivalent to ≥ 69 beats/min per year in 3 years) were found to be at a higher risk of RRFD.
CONCLUSIONS
The cumRHR is significantly associated with a higher risk of RRFD among older adults. These results might provide an effective goal for managing and delaying the decline of renal function in the older adults.
