A 55-Day-Old Female Infant Infected With 2019 Novel Coronavirus Disease: Presenting With Pneumonia, Liver Injury, and Heart Damage.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies on the pneumonia outbreak caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) were mainly based on information from adult populations. Limited data are available for children with COVID-19, especially for infected infants. METHODS: We report a 55-day-old case with COVID-19 confirmed in China and describe the identification, diagnosis, clinical course, and treatment of the patient, including the disease progression from day 7 to day 11 of illness. RESULTS: This case highlights that children with COVID-19 can also present with multiple organ damage and rapid disease changes. CONCLUSIONS: When managing such infant patients with COVID-19, frequent and careful clinical monitoring is essential.

[Preparation of Tea Waste Biochar and Its Application in Tetracycline Removal from Aqueous Solution].

Tea waste biochar (TWBC) was prepared at 300℃, 500℃, and 700℃ under oxygen-limited atmosphere, and was characterized by elemental analysis, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller measurement, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. TWBC was then used to remove tetracycline from aqueous solution. The influences of solid-to-liquid ratio, pH, ionic types, and strength were investigated. The potential mechanism between tetracycline and TWBC was also explored. The results showed that the proper solid-to-liquid ratio was 4 g·L-1. The pH of the solution had little influence on the removal of tetracycline. The inhibition effects of cation ions on tetracycline follows Mg2+ > Ca2+ > K+ > Na+. The NH4+ in the solution can slightly promote the adsorption of tetracycline by TWBC700. However, the existence of Cu can decrease the adsorption effect of tetracycline by TWBC700. Increasing temperature can improve the adsorption effect of tetracycline by TWBC700. The pseudo-second-order and Langmuir model can well fit the adsorption process of tetracycline onto TWBC. The adsorption capacity of tetracycline by TWBC was TWBC700 > TWBC500 > TWBC300. The mechanisms of tetracycline by TWBC referred to the pore-filling effect, hydrogen binding, and π-π interaction. Therefore, high-temperature TWBC has the potential to act as an adsorbent for removing tetracycline from wastewater.
