Objective To investigate the correlation between baseline serum lipid levels and hematoma enlargement in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Methods From October 2013 to January 2018, patients with ICH admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery, Heze Municipal Hospital, were enrolled retrospectively. The first CT scan was completed within 6 h after onset, and the second one was completed at 48 h after onset. Hematoma enlargement was defined as an increase >33 % in the volume of hematoma on CT. The demographic and baseline clinical data in the hematoma enlargement group and the non -hematoma enlargement group were compared. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent risk factors for hematoma enlargement. Results A total of 470 patients with acute ICH were enrolled, including 187 females (39.8%) and 283 males (60.2%), aged 47-81 years. Seventy-nine patients (16.8%) had hematoma enlargement. The proportion of patients with atrial fibrillation and who used warfarin before onset, as well as age, baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, baseline hematoma volume, international normalized ratio, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, and thrombin time of the hematoma enlargement group were significantly higher than those of the non -hematoma enlargement group ( all P< 0.05 ), while from the onset to the first CT scan time, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were significantly lower than those in the non- hematoma enlargement group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that baseline total cholesterol <3.20 mmol/L (odds ratio [ OR] 1.32, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.08-1.83; P=0.004), baseline hematoma volume≥30 ml (1.76,95% CI 1.30-2.15; P<0.001), and using anticoagulant before onset ( OR 2.37, 95% CI 1.81-3.02; P<0.001 ) had significantly independent correlation with hematoma enlargement. Conclusion Baseline total cholesterol <3.20 mmol/L, hematoma volume ≥30 ml, and using anticoagulant before onset were the independent risk factors for hematoma enlargement in patients with acute ICH.

Rabies is a fatal zoonotic disease caused by rabies virus (RABV). The rabies vaccine, immunoglobulin, and Milwaukee therapy that have emerged have not reached the cure for rabies, and antiviral treatment against the virus itself has become a concern and focus. In this review article, according to the RABV replication infection process, the mechanism of action of antiviral drugs acting on various processes of the virus, relevant experimental procedures and result are briefly described, and the evaluation of the efficacy of new anti-RABV drugs and the direction of the combination therapy are proposed.

As information technology advances,outpatient information systems in China's healthcare sector are utilized nationwide.This paper first investigated the benefits of these systems,analyzed their application effect on patient consultation processes,including implementation of medical card-based consultations,various registration methods,and orderly consultations.Additionally,the article summarized strategies for promoting outpatient information systems to offer valuable insights into the de-velopment of outpatient information in China.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with imported corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Beijing City.Methods:A case-control study was performed to retrospectively analyze 69 cases of imported COVID-19 from abroad and 147 cases of domestic confirmed COVID-19 from China as a control group from January 20 to March 20, 2020 admitted to Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University.The epidemiological and clinical characteristics were compared.Statistical analysis were performed by t test, Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test and Fisher exact test. Results:The main sources of the cases in the import group were from the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain and other European countries, with 44.9%(31/69) of the overseas students entering the country by air. The age of the imported group (27(21, 40) years) was lower than the domestic group (43 (32, 59)years), the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( U=2 828.500, P<0.01). Compared with the domestic group, the proportion of cases with contact history of confirmed cases in the imported group was lower (30.4%(21/69) vs 68.0%(100/147)), the interval between onset and admission ≤seven days was higher (81.2%(56/69) vs 66.0%(97/147)), the proportion of cases with underlying diseases was lower (21.7%(15/69) vs 44.2%(65/147)). The differences between the two groups were all statistically significant ( χ2=26.935, 5.233 and 10.175, respectively, all P<0.05). The proportion of mild cases in the imported group was higher than that in the domestic group (42.0%(29/69) vs 10.9%(16/147)). Seventeen cases with olfactory abnormality and 12 cases with taste abnormality were found in the imported group, while no olfactory and taste abnormality was found in the domestic group. The proportions of fever, weakness, muscle soreness and dyspnea were all lower than those of the domestic group, the differences between the two groups were all statistically significant ( χ2=13.851, 8.118, 9.730 and 16.255, respectively, all P<0.01). The proportions of cases with decreased lymphocyte absolute numbers (37.7%(26/69) vs 67.3%(99/147)) and increased C reactive protein level (15.9%(11/69) vs 51.8%(72/139)) were both lower than the domestic group, and the differences between the two groups were both statistically significant ( χ2=18.015 and 24.722, respectively, both P<0.01). The proportions of cases with ground glass shadow and consolidation of chest computed tomography were lower than those of the domestic group and the differences between the two groups were all statistically significant ( χ2=11.961 and 5.099, respectively, all P<0.05). In terms of complications, the proportions of cases with acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute myocardial injury were lower (2.9%(2/69) vs 10.9%(16/147) and 4.3%(3/69) vs 14.0%(16/114), respectively), and there were statistically significant differences between the two groups ( χ2=4.017 and 4.335, respectively, both P<0.05). There were no cases received mechanical ventilation and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in the imported group, and the proportions of patients received oxygen therapy and antibiotic treatment were significantly lower than those in the domestic group (13.0%(9/69) vs 26.5%(39/147) and 13.0%(9/69) vs 39.5%(58/147), respectively) and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( χ2=4.942 and 15.797, respectively, both P<0.05). Conclusions:The majority of imported COVID-19 cases are mainly from European countries, mostly young and middle-aged, and mostly mild and ordinary types.The symptoms of olfactory and taste abnormality are found for the first time.
