The COVID-19 epidemic has spread to the whole world for three years and has had a serious impact on human life, health and economic activities. China's epidemic prevention and control has gone through the following stages: emergency unconventional stage, emergency normalization stage, and the transitional stage from the emergency normalization to the "Category B infectious disease treated as Category B" normalization, and achieved a major and decisive victory. The designated hospitals for prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic in Tianjin has successfully completed its tasks in all stages of epidemic prevention and control, and has accumulated valuable experience. This article summarizes the experience of constructing a hospital infection prevention and control system during the "Category B infectious disease treated as Category A" period in designated hospital. The experience is summarized as the "Cluster" hospital infection prevention and control system, namely "three rings" outside, middle and inside, "three districts" of green, orange and red, "three things" before, during and after the event, "two-day pre-purification" and "two-director system", and "one zone" management. In emergency situations, we adopt a simplified version of the cluster hospital infection prevention and control system. In emergency situations, a simplified version of the "Cluster" hospital infection prevention and control system can be adopted. This system has the following characteristics: firstly, the system emphasizes the characteristics of "cluster" and the overall management of key measures to avoid any shortcomings. The second, it emphasizes the transformation of infection control concepts to maximize the safety of medical services through infection control. The third, it emphasizes the optimization of the process. The prevention and control measures should be comprehensive and focused, while also preventing excessive use. The measures emphasize the use of the least resources to achieve the best infection control effect. The fourth, it emphasizes the quality control work of infection control, pays attention to the importance of the process, and advocates the concept of "system slimming, process fattening". Fifthly, it emphasizes that the future development depends on artificial intelligence, in order to improve the quality and efficiency of prevention and control to the greatest extent. Sixth, hospitals need to strengthen continuous training and retraining. We utilize diverse training methods, including artificial intelligence, to ensure that infection control policies and procedures are simple. We have established an evaluation and feedback mechanism to ensure that medical personnel are in an emergency state at all times.

Objective To discover the host factor interacting with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2(SARS-CoV-2)papain-like protease(PLpro)and explore the potential mechanism.Methods The second-generation proximity-dependent biotin identification(BioID2)approach combined with mass spectrometry analysis was used to search for the potential host factors.Immunofluorescence and co-immunoprecipitation(Co-IP)assay were used to verify the interactions between DEAD-box helicase 3(DDX3)and PLpro.The influence of PLpro on DDX3-inhibitor of kappa B kinase ε(IKKε)-TANK-binding kinase 1(TBK1)and DDX3-mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein(MAVS)complexes was also investigated by Co-IP.The effect of PLpro on interferon-β(IFN-β)immune pathway and the protease activity on substrates were studied via luciferase activity assay.Results DDX3 could co-locate and interact with PLpro intracellularly.PLpro might possibly inhibit both the formation of DDX3-MAVS complex and the interactions between DDX3-IKK-ε-TBK1.PLpro could negatively regulate type Ⅰ interferon pathway.Overexpression of DDX3 could lead to a significant increase in the cleavage activity of PLpro/PLP-TM that might be significantly decreased in case of inventions with DDX3 expressions.Conclusion DDX3 may be one of the host factors that interact with SARS-CoV-2 PLpro.PLpro negatively regulates IFN-β immune pathway induced by DDX3,which may provide a favorable immune environment for virus replication.

Objective:To investigate the safety of early antiplatelet therapy for non-cardioembolic mild stroke patients with thrombocytopenia.Methods:Data of acute ischemic stroke patients with baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score≤3 and a platelet count<100×109/L were obtained from a multicenter register.Those who required anticoagulation or had other contraindications to antiplatelet therapy were excluded.Short-term safety outcomes were in-hospital bleeding events,while the long-term safety outcome was a 1-year all-cause death.The short-term neurological outcomes were evaluated by modified Rankin scale(mRS)score at discharge.Results:A total of 1868 non-cardioembolic mild stroke patients with thrombocytopenia were enrolled.Multivariate regression analyses showed that mono-antiplatelet therapy significantly increased the proportion of mRS score of 0-1 at discharge(OR=1.657,95%CI:1.253-2.192,P<0.01)and did not increase the risk of intracranial hemorrhage(OR=2.359,95%CI:0.301-18.503,P>0.05),compared with those without antiplatelet therapy.However,dual-antiplatelet therapy did not bring more neurological benefits(OR=0.923,95%CI:0.690-1.234,P>0.05),but increased the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding(OR= 2.837,95%CI:1.311-6.136,P<0.01)compared with those with mono-antiplatelet therapy.For patients with platelet counts≤75×109/L and>90×109/L,antiplatelet therapy significantly improved neurological functional outcomes(both P<0.05).For those with platelet counts(>75-90)×109/L,antiplatelet therapy resulted in a significant improvement of 1-year survival(P<0.05).For patients even with concurrent coagulation abnormalities,mono-antiplatelet therapy did not increase the risk of various types of bleeding(all P>0.05)but improved neurological functional outcomes(all P<0.01).There was no significant difference in the occurrence of bleeding events,1-year all-cause mortality risk,and neurological functional outcomes between aspirin and clopidogrel(all P>0.05).Conclusions:For non-cardioembolic mild stroke patients with thrombocytopenia,antiplatelet therapy remains a reasonable choice.Mono-antiplatelet therapy has the same efficiency as dual-antiplatelet therapy in neurological outcome improvement with lower risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Objectives:To investigate the predictors of left ventricular reverse remodeling(LVRR)and prognosis in dilated cardiomyopathy(DCM)patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction(HFrEF). Methods:A total of 480 patients with HFrEF were continuously recruited.The patients were divided into LVRR group(n=235)and without LVRR group(n=245).The clinical data of patients with and without LVRR were compared.At the same time,the incidence of LVRR and complex cardiovascular adverse events in patients with different SII tripartite groups was compared.The study population was stratified according to SII tertiles:the baseline tertiles of the SII(group 1:<332.8[n=160],group 2:332.8-563.1[n=160],and group 3:>563.1[n=160]).Composite cardiac events include heart failure re-hospitalization,fatal arrhythmias,and cardiac death.Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the predictive factors of LVRR.The dose-response relationship between systemic imnune inflammation index(SII)and LVRR were evaluated by restricted cubic spline(RCS).Receiver operating characteristic curves,net reclassification index(NRI),integrated discrimination improvement(IDI)and Akaike information criterion(AIC)were drawn to assess the performances of predictors to predict LVRR and prognosis.The predictive efficacy of these predictors were compared with traditional biomarkers(N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide[NTpro-BNP]and soluble growth stimulation expressed gene 2 protein[sST2]).The survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results:A total of 235(49.0%)patients experienced LVRR.The results of logistic regression analysis showed that baseline SII was an independent predictor of non-LVRR(OR=1.005,95%CI:1.004~1.007,P<0.01).RCS showed a positive linear relationship between SII and non-LVRR(Pnonlinear=0.455).Compared with traditional biomarkers NT-proBNP and sST2,ROC,NRI,IDI and AIC results proved that SII had the best predictability regarding non-LVRR.All 480 patients completed the follow-up,there were 108(22.5%)composite cardiac events and 37(7.7%)all-cause deaths.Patients in the SII>563.1 group had higher rate of composite cardiovascular events than those in the SII<332.8 and SII 332.8 to 563.1 groups(43.1%vs.9.4%vs.15.0%,log-rank P<0.01). Conclusions:This study indicates that increased SII at admission could predict non-LVRR in DCM related HFrEF patients and its predictive efficacy is better than traditional biomarkers.
