ObjectiveTo investigate relationship between the degree of placenta praevia, vaginal bleeding and clinical outcomes. MethodsRecords of 89 patients with placenta praevia(mild praevia group 43; severe praevia group 46) were reviewed retrospectively, and outcomes were compared. ResultsThe gestational age at the first bleeding and diagnosis was significantly smaller in severe group than that in mild one (P<0.05). The incidence of antepartum haemorrhage, the times of bleeding and the episodes of heavy bleeding in two groups showed no significant differences(P>0.05). The gestational age at diagnosis and delivery and birthweight were significantly smaller in women with antepartum bleeding than in those without( P<0.01 ). The number of deliveries by emergency caesarean section in women with antepartum bleeding was significantly higher than that in those without (P<0.01). ConclusionThe clinical outcomes of placenta praevia are highly variable. There are no obvious clinical features that are typical in predicting the clinical outcomes. The number of bleeding episodes and the degree of praevia are not associated with outcomes, so they can't be the proof to determine the treatment plan ahead of time.

Objective:To improve the forming process of Jingning particle according to the influencing factors in its effectiveness, such as low yield, high moisture absorption and difficult dissolubility during oral administration. Methods:A new technology that im-mediate granulation after the extract was well mixed with lactose and dextrin and dried. The appearance, dissolubility, hygroscopicity and pellet formation rate ( granularity) were compared between the new technology and the old one, and the difference in critical rela-tive humidity was also studied. Results:The appearance, dissolubility and pellet formation rate of the new technology were all better than those of the old one, and the moisture absorption rate was reduced with the critical relative humidity up to 70%(25℃), which enhanced the granule stability. Conclusion:The pellet formation rate is improved by the new technology, which effectively solves the problems such as high moisture absorption and poor dissolubility, and the granule quality is improved.

Objective To investigate therapeutic effects of Salvia miltiorrhiza on hepatic fibrosis of rats induced by carbon tewachloridean. Methods Rat models of hepatic fibrosis were founded by intraperitoneal injection of carbon tetrachloride. Salvia miltiorrhiza were given to these rats. Normal group and control group were set for comparison at the same time. Serum levels of ALT, AST, HA, LN, and PC-Ⅲ were detected; HE and Masson staining were conducted in hepatic tissues to observe pathological variations. Results Salvia miltiorrhiza could decrease serum levels of ALT, AST, HA, LN,PC-Ⅲ obviously (P <0.01), compared with the control group; Salvia miltiorrhiza could obviously improve pathological variations compared with the control group. Conclusion Salvia miltiorrhiza has therapeutic effect on hepatic fibrosis of rats

Objective To observe therapeutic effects of HuGanJieXian decoction on rats hepatic fibrosis induced by tetrachloride. Methods Rat models of hepatic fibrosis were constructed by intraperitoneal injection of tetrachloride.HuGanJieXian decoction composed of low, middle, and high dose curcumin were given to these rats respectively at the same time. Sho-saiko-to compound treatment group and Fufangbiejiarangan Tablets treatment group were made as positive control groups. After twelve weeks, all rats were executed. Serum samples were kept for measuring serum levels of PC-Ⅲ, LN, and HA. Left livers were extirpated for pathologic examination including H.E and Masson stainings. Grade of hepatic fibrosis were evaluated according to SSS system. The levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) of supematant centrifugated from hepatic tissue homogenate were detected. Results Serum levels of PC-Ⅲ, LN, and HA were depressed obviously in decoction groups compared with those of fibrotic group (P<0.05) , especially in the low-dose curcumin group.HuGanJieXian Decoction could increase the level of SOD and decrease the level of MDA (P<0.05) , especially in the low-dose curcumin group. Staining of H. E and Masson showed that degrees of hepatic fibrosis in decoction groups were improved obviously compared with that of the fibrotic group. Conclusion HuGanJieXian Decoction can improve rat hepatic fibrosis, the mechanism of this effect may be associated with protecting hepatic cell membrane and anti- peroxidative damage.

Methods:
Demographic characteristics, contact history and medical records of close contacts of COVID-19 cases in Jiulongpo District from January 22 to April 10, 2020 was collected according to the COVID-19 Prevention and Control Program ( sixth version ) . Descriptive statistical analysis was performed.
Results:
Totally 602 close contacts were found, and 30 of them were infected, with an attack rate of 4.98%. Twenty-seven cases were diagnosed before February 10. The close contacts mainly aged from 20 to 59 years ( 457, 75.91% ) ; most were relatives of COVID-19 cases ( 219, 36.38% ) , and 64 (10.63%) were medical staff. Most contacted occasionally ( 338, 56.15% ), at home ( 190, 31.56% ) , and through the same meal ( 181, 30.07% ) . The attack rate of close contacts aged 40 years and over was 7.49%, which was higher than 2.37% of those aged under 40 years ( P<0.05 ). The attack rate of close contacts increased with contact frequency ( P<0.05 ) . The attack rates of close contacts were significantly different in different relations with cases, contact places and contact modes ( P<0.05 ); the attack rates of colleagues and relatives were 20.41% and 8.68%; the attack rates of close contacts in the workplace settings and family were 17.54% and 10.00%; the attack rates of sharing the same bed, living in the same room and working in the same room were 44.44%, 18.60% and 17.24%.
Conclusions
The close contacts of COVID-19 cases in Jiulongpo District, Chongqing who aged 40 years or above, exposed in family settings and in the workplace were associated with higher risk of infection.
