[The differential diagnosis of pulmonary infiltrates in cancer patients during the outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease].

Objective: To investigate the principles of differential diagnosis of pulmonary infiltrates in cancer patients during the outbreak of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) by analyzing one case of lymphoma who presented pulmonary ground-glass opacities (GGO) after courses of chemotherapy. Methods: Baseline demographics and clinicopathological data of eligible patients were retrieved from medical records. Information of clinical manifestations, history of epidemiology, lab tests and chest CT scan images of visiting patients from February 13 to February 28 were collected. Literatures about pulmonary infiltrates in cancer patients were searched from databases including PUBMED, EMBASE and CNKI. Results: Among the 139 cancer patients who underwent chest CT scans before chemotherapy, pulmonary infiltrates were identified in eight patients (5.8%), five of whom were characterized with GGOs in lungs. 2019-nCoV nuclear acid testing was performed in three patients and the results were negative. One case was a 66-year-old man who was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and underwent CHOP chemotherapy regimen. His chest CT scan image displayed multiple GGOs in lungs and the complete blood count showed decreased lymphocytes. This patient denied any contact with confirmed/suspected cases of 2019-nCoV infection, fever or other respiratory symptoms. Considering the negative result of nuclear acid testing, this patient was presumptively diagnosed with viral pneumonia and an experiential anti-infection treatment had been prescribed for him. Conclusions: The 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) complicates the clinical scenario of pulmonary infiltrates in cancer patients. The epidemic history, clinical manifestation, CT scan image and lab test should be taken into combined consideration. The 2019-nCoV nuclear acid testing might be applied in more selected patients. Active anti-infection treatment and surveillance of patient condition should be initiated if infectious disease is considered.

[Safety and immunogenicity analysis of recombinant （hansenula polymorpha) hepatitis B vaccine （CpG ODN adjuvant) among adults: the preliminary results of phase I clinical trial].

Objective: To evaluate the safety and immune effect of recombinant hepatitis B vaccine （CpG ODN adjuvant). Methods: On Oct. 26, 2016, we launched volunteer recruitment in Kaihua county, Quzhou city, Zhejiang Province. In the randomized, double-blind, controlled trial, a total of 48 subjects with negative HBV screening tests and normal hepatorenal function among 18 and 60 years old were selected and divided into two groups randomly, 24 cases each. The experimental group was given 250 µg of CpG ODN recombinant （Hansenula polymorpha) Hepatitis B vaccine and the control group was given 10 µg of commercial Hepatitis B vaccine with timed at 0, 1and 6 months. The inoculation reactions were compared the difference between the two groups after observed and recorded in time periods. We also collected serum before and after immunization to compare the two groups of anti-HBs positive rate, geometric mean concentration（GMC). Results: During the study period, the incidence of adverse events was 66.67%（16/24) in the experimental group and 54.17%（13/24) in the control group, with no significant difference（P=0.556). The severities of adverse events were level 1 or level 2, and no level 3 or above adverse reactions occurred. After full-course immunization, in the FAS data set, the anti-HBs GMC in the experimental group [2 598.56（1 127.90-5 986.90) mIU/ml] was higher than that in the control group[371.97（164.54-840.91) mIU/ml] In the PPS set, the GMC of test group was 7 808.21（3 377.00-18 052.00) mIU/ml, which was higher than that of the control group [843.22（213.80-3 325.90) mIU/ml]. The anti-HBs positive rate of FAS（PPS) was 95.83%（100.00%) in the experimental group and the control group; The anti-HBs strongly positive rate of FAS（PPS) was 79.17%（90.00%) in the experimental group and 33.33%（50.00%) in the control group, with statistically significant differences among the FAS set（P=0.003) and no statistically significance differences among the PPS set（P=0.074). Conclusion: CpG Hepatitis B Vaccine is safe and shows better immunogenicity than the control vaccine.
