However, the pathogenesis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS COV-2) is poorly understood. The objective of this study is to retrospectively explore the pathogenesis of COVID-19 from clinical laboratory findings, taking disease progression into account. <strong>Methods:</strong> A single-centered, retrospective study was carried out, which included moderate (n = 76) and severe COVID-19 cases (n = 22). The difference of laboratory findings from blood routine examination and hepatorenal function test were retrospectively evaluated between the state of moderate and severe. The disease progression was indicated by oxygenation index. <strong>Results: </strong>Age is a risk factor for disease progression from moderate to severe. Lymphocytopenia, neutrophilia, liver and kidney function decreasement occurred in severe patients on admission, compared with moderate patients. Lymphocytopenia and neutrophilia deteriorated at the lowest oxygenation index timepoint in the severe patients. And the oxygenation index was associated with ratio of lymphocyte and neutrophil in COVID-19 patients. <strong>Conclusions:</strong> Lymphocytopenia and neutrophilia, which deteriorate in the progression of severe patients, are the main pathogenesis of COVID-19. More measures need to be taken to control lymphocytopenia and neutrophilia in severe COVID-19. Oxygenation index presented potentiality as predictor on the progression of COVID-19.展开更多

It was suggested to have a strong association with adverse postoperative outcomes. Hypotension prediction index(HPI) was developed to predict intraoperative hypotension(mean arterial pressure <65 mmHg) in real time. However, pressure autoregulation also plays an important role in maintaining adequate organ perfusion/oxygenation during hypotension. A cerebral oxygenation monitor provides clinicians with the values of organ oxygenation. We reported a case that the cerebral oxygenation monitor was used together with HPI to guide intraoperative blood pressure management. We found that cerebral oxygenation was maintained in the event of hypotension during surgery. The patient had no intraoperative or postoperative adverse outcomes despite the hypotension. We believe this can provide an individualized intraoperative blood pressure management to avoid over-or under-treating hypotension.展开更多

The peak densities for different seasons, latitudes and longitudes are deduced from OI (557.7nm) airglow intensities through this expression. We analyze the features of inversion relative errors and discuss the influence of the variations in temperature on inversion errors. The results indicate that all inversion errors are less than 5% except for those at high altitudes in the summer hemisphere. And the impact of the variations in temperature on errors is not significant.展开更多

Specifically, some of these characteristics such as myelin and a high energy requirement provide for the introduction of free radical-induced insult. Recently, the biochemistry of free radicals has received considerable attention. It also has become increasingly suggestive that many drug and chemical-induced toxicities may be evoked via free radicals and oxidative stress. Major points addressed in this work are the regulation of neural-free radical generation by antioxidants and protective enzymes, xenobiotic-induced disruption of cerebral redox status, and specific examples of neurotoxic agent-induced alterations in free radicals as measured by the fluorescent probe dichlorofluorescein. This article considers that free radical mechanisms may contribute significantly to the properties of several diverse neurotoxic agents and proposes that free radicals may be common phenomena of neurotoxicity.展开更多

Methods: From September 2015 to September 2016, 84 patients with craniocerebral injury admitted to our hospital were divided into observation group (n = 42) and control group (n = 42) according to randomized single blindness method. All patients were treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The control group was given routine nursing care, while the observation group was treated by psychological nursing intervention. Results: The scores of GCS in the observation group after 2 weeks and 8 weeks of treatment were respectively (7.79±1.42), (11.86±2.56) which were higher than those in the control group (6.23±1.01), (8.21±1.65) the data show significant difference. After treatment, the scores of SDS and SAS in the observation group were respectively (39.14±1.21), (41.67±1.12) which were lower than those in the control group (45.56±2.50), (56.89±2.47) the data show significant difference. The BI index of the observation group was (43.29±4.63), which was higher than that of the control group (36.83±3.10), the scores of NFD was (23.12±1.01) in the observation group, which was lower than that in the control group (28.45±1.67), the data were statistically significant. Conclusion: Psychological care intervention in patients with craniocerebral injury treated by hyperbaric oxygen therapy is helpful to improve the adverse psychological state and consciousness state, improve the ability of daily living activities and promote the recovery of neurological function. It can be actively promoted and applied in clinical practice.展开更多
