Objective::To determine the pregnancy and neonatal outcomes of women who recovered from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) that developed in early pregnancy.Methods::This case series analyzed five pregnant women (26-33 years) whom recovered from COVID-19 which were developed in early pregnancy (6-27 weeks) and admitted at the Wuhan Union Hospital from January 15, 2020 to April 30, 2020. The clinical manifestation, laboratory examinations, treatment, pregnancy outcomes, maternal and neonatal severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) throat swab reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction test results, and SARS-CoV-2 antibody test results in neonates were reviewed. The placental pathology, placental angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 expression were studied by hematoxylin-eosin and immunohistochemistry staining, SARS-CoV-2 presence was examined by QT-PCR. We also followed up the infants at 3-6 months.Results::Three pregnant women were diagnosed with COVID-19 in early pregnancy (Cases 1-3), and two were serum immunoglobulin G positive asymptomatic cases (Cases 4 and 5). Cases 1-3 showed complete recovery after severe COVID-19. Case 3 was infected at 6 weeks of gestation during the first trimester and had induced medical abortion at 12 weeks of gestation. All neonates had no pneumonia, SARS-CoV-2 mRNA reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and serum immunoglobulin M were negative, and immunoglobulin G were positive. All placental samples were negative for SARS-CoV-2 in the nucleic acid test. Placental pathology showed chronic ischemia changes. ACE-2 expressed in both placenta and decidua. The follow-up showed that the infants were healthy and asymptomatic at 3-6 months.Conclusion::No adverse outcomes was observed in our case series. However, systemic inflammatory responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection may cause placental injury. At the time of delivery after recovery from COVID-19, no SARS-CoV-2 positive results was found in the placenta in this case series.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of vacuum sealing drainage(VSD) in the treatment of large-area wound infection of earthquake casualty after amputation.Methods Seven patients with large-area wound infection of earthquake casualty after amputation received sustained VSD.Results After VSD for 7~26 days,with an average of 13 days,the wound infection in the 7 patients was controlled.No systemic toxicity was found.The result of wound bacterial culture was negative.Of the 7 patients,4 received phase Ⅱ suture,3 received phase Ⅱ skin graft,and all of the grafted skin survived.Conclusion Vacuum sealing drainage exerts certain effect in the treatment of large-area wound infection of earthquake casualty after amputation.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of external application and oral use of Herba Seu Radix Violae Japonicae(HSRVJ) for the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis.Methods Sixty chronic osteomyelitis were randomized into the treatment group and the control group.The two groups received conservative routine antibiotic treatment.The treatment group received external application and oral use of HSRVJ additionally.Seven days constituted one treatment course,and the treatment lasted 6 courses.The changes of erythrocyte sedimentation(ESR) and C-reactive protein(CRP) were compared in the two groups before treatment and every 2 courses.Meanwhile,the clinical cure rate and the total effective rate were observed in the two groups.Results The cure rate was 46.67% and the total effective rate was 86.67% in the treatment group,and was 20.00% and 63.33% in the control group respectively.ESR and CRP decreased gradually every 2 courses in the two groups(P
