In this issue of Biomedical Journal we get to know measures to prevent a nosocomial COVID-19 outbreak, a compound that is able to stall SARS-CoV-2 replication, and the connection between air pollution and COVID-19 cases. Another article allows an insight into the potential of treating HIV combining a conventional drug and low level laser therapy. Furthermore, the advantages of awake craniotomy are presented, the efficacy of IRES is examined, and plant extracts are on the one hand explored as a nociceptive agent and on the other hand as therapeutic approach against breast cancer. We learn about drug resistance in liver cancer, a mutation involved in a rare inflammatory disorder, and lung surgery related unilateral vocal fold paralysis. Finally, the success of emergency endotracheal intubations across different hospital units is compared, the importance of monitoring cerebral blood flow in asphyxiated neonates is elucidated, and resistance variants in hepatitis C virus are examined. A study about the necessity to perform quantitative cardiac MRI in Asian population is presented, and an approach is shown on how to augment the effect of platelet-rich plasma injections in chronic knee osteoarthritis.
在本期《生物医学杂志》中，我们了解到预防医院内 COVID-19 爆发的措施、一种能够阻止 SARS-CoV-2 复制的化合物，以及空气污染与 COVID-19 病例之间的联系。另一篇文章让我们深入了解了将传统药物与低强度激光疗法相结合治疗 HIV 的潜力。此外，还介绍了清醒开颅手术的优点，研究了内部核糖体进入位点（IRES）的功效，并且一方面探索了植物提取物作为伤害感受剂的作用，另一方面探索了其作为对抗乳腺癌的治疗方法。我们了解到肝癌中的耐药性、一种罕见炎症性疾病所涉及的突变，以及与肺手术相关的单侧声带麻痹。最后，比较了不同医院科室急诊气管插管的成功率，阐明了监测窒息新生儿脑血流的重要性，并研究了丙型肝炎病毒中的耐药变异体。介绍了一项关于在亚洲人群中进行定量心脏磁共振成像必要性的研究，并展示了一种增强富血小板血浆注射对慢性膝关节骨关节炎治疗效果的方法。
