    The severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-Coronavirus (CoV2) virus, first identified in Wuhan, China, caused the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which soon became a global pandemic, as labelled by the World Health Organization (WHO). The transmission method of the infection is primarily through droplets of various sizes. The SARS-CoV2 virus leads to a severe respiratory illness which in the first place causes the simulation of the acute respiratory syndrome. In order to diagnose of COVID-19 efficiently, samples with infection probability need to be examined through histopathological methods. DLin-KC2-DMA Survival chances of the infected can remarkably increase if the virus is diagnosed timely by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest. One of the destructive effects of COVID-19 is the formation of ground-glass opacity (GGO) in the lungs which might be regarded to be equivalent to high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). COVID-19 acts very similarly to SARS and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) which can be inactivated by the chemical compounds of ethanol and sodium hypochlorite. Epidemiologic characteristics of COVID-19 have been indicated by numerous studies; however, there is still a lack of details of pathologic changes in the lung. The present comprehensive review is an attempt to assess and cover the current state of knowledge on COVID-19 disease based on the histopathologic studies conducted before May 2020.T-lymphocyte dysfunction is most important part of immune dysfunction in sepsis, where dynamic change, especially autophagy of CD4+T lymphocytes is found to be related to disease fate. Our study is to i nvestigate the changes of CD4 + T lymphocytes and their autophagy levels in septic miR-223 -/- mouse model injected intraperitoneally with E. coli.120 male C57BL/6J wild-type. Twenty male miR-223 knockout(miR-223-/-) mice were randomly divided into, according to intraperitoneal injection of normal saline (NS) and E. coli solution, normal saline (WT NS) group, sepsis (WT Sep) group, miR-223 -/- NS group and miR-223 -/- Sep group, respectively. The autophagy related protein was monitored with flow cytometry to observe the autophagy of CD4+T lymphocytes. Flow cytometry showed the proportion of CD4 + T lymphocytes in peripheral blood circulation, alveoli, and spleen of mice in the WT Sep group gradually decreased after surgery, the proportion of cells with autophagic activity in this population of cells was significantly higher than that in the WT NS group, and the proportion of CD4 + T lymphocytes with active autophagic activity in miR-223 -/- mice were significantly decreased, but higher than that in the miR-223 -/- NS group and lower than the level of autophagy in CD4 + T cells of wild-type mice. Thus, miR-223 can up-regulate the level of autophagy in CD4 + T lymphocytes of septic mice, suggesting that miR-223 may be used as a potential target for the prevention and treatment of sepsis.The pandemic diseases caused by SARS-CoV-2 are now threatening human health and survival. Early diagnosis and isolation of mild or asymptomatic COVID-19 patients is important to control the spread of SARS-CoV-2. In this study, we investigate the potential clinical utility of lymphocyte CPD for early diagnosis of COVID-19. To investigate the potential of lymphocyte cell population data (lymphocyte CPD) for use in early diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Lymphocyte CPD of healthy control (n = 51), common cold patients (n = 49) and mild COVID-19 patients (n = 126) were generated using hematology analyzer. The parameters were subjected to sensitivity and specificity analysis to determine their suitability as biomarkers for early diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Normality analysis showed that lymphocyte CPD followed a normal distribution. There were no significant differences in white blood cells (WBC) and lymphocyte (LY#) counts as well as the neu0.888. However, at a cutoff value ≥ 15.95, LS-SD reached 81.3 % sensitivity, 75 % specificity and an AUC of 0.876. These results suggest that lymphocyte CPD parameters have great diagnostic potential for SARS-CoV-2 infection and can be used for early diagnosis of the disease.Ovarian cancer is a leading cause of gynecological cancer-related mortality. It has been reported that miR-409-3p is involved in the proliferation and migration of cancer cells. However, the role of miR-409-3p in ovarian cancer has not been well studied. The present study aimed to investigate the functional role of miR-409-3p in the pathogenesis of ovarian cancer, and its potential mechanism. It was found that the expression levels of miR-409-3p in 6 ovarian cancer tissues were upregulated. Through proliferation, migration and colony formation assays, it was revealed that overexpression of miR-409-3p inhibited the proliferation and migration of ovarian cancer cells. It was predicted from bioinformatics assays that the complementary binding sites were within miR-409-3p and Rab10. It was also demonstrated that the downregulation of the expression of Rab10 reversed the miR-409-3p downregulation-induced abnormal proliferation of ovarian cancer cells. These results suggest that miR-409-3p expression can be used as a predictive marker for the prognosis of ovarian cancer. Thus, the miR-409-3p/Rab10 axis may be a novel therapeutic target for ovarian cancer.To investigate the effect of Fibrillin 2 (FBN2) expression on the invasion and migration of lung cancer cells, and the underlying mechanism. Protein and mRNA expressions of FBN2 were assayed. The relationship between FBN2 protein expression and clinical characteristics of lung cancer patients was analyzed. Correlation between FBN2 expression level and patient survival time was analyzed. Moreover, the mRNA and protein expression of FBN2 in lung cancer cells and human normal lung epithelial cells were assayed. After constructing low-expressing FBN2 cells, the cell proliferation, clone formation, migration and invasion capabilities were tested. Lung cancer cells proliferation with low FBN2 expression in nude mice was measured with a nude mouse tumorigenic experiment. The mRNA and protein expressions of FBN2 in lung cancer tissues were significantly higher than those in para-cancerous tissues (p<0.05). FBN2 protein expression was significantly correlated with TNM stage, lymph node metastasis and histological type (p<0.
