Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Pharynx swabs, lower respiratory tract samples (sputum/endotracheal aspiration/alveolar lavage), and anal swabs rt-pcr of novel coronavirus nucleic acid negative conversion rate.;

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. 28-day clinical improvement time: the number of days from randomization to clinical improvement.Clinical improvement was defined as a reduction of 2 points on the 6-point scale of the patient's admission status or discharge.;2. Hospitalization duration of 28 days after admission: The number of days from randomization to discharge. Discharge criteria: body temperature returned to normal for more than 3 days; respiratory symptoms improved significantly; lung imaging showed a significant improvement of acute exudative lesions; Negative nucleic ac;3. Severe conversion rate for 28 days. At the time of enrollment, patients with light or popular type should meet one of the following three conditions : shortness of breath, RR >= 30 beats / minute; in the state of no oxygen inhalation, tip oxygen saturation <=93%; (PaO2)/(FiO2) <=300mmHg.;4. On the 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th days of enrollment, the RT-PCR novel coronavirus nucleic acid detection of negative rate were used to detect negative rate of swine swabs, lower respiratory tract samples (sputum / tracheal aspirate / alveolar lavage fluid) and anal swabs.;5. On the 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, and 15th days of enrollment, the blood novel coronavirus nucleic acid was used to detect the negative conversion rate though RT-PCR.;6.Time from admission to negative RT-PCR test result.;7. Blood was collected before taking medicine in the morning on the 9th, 12th, 15th days,and 30 minutes after taking the medicine on the 9th, 12th days of enrollment to measure bismuth concentration.The bismuth concentration in sputum / alveolar lavage fluid is also measured at these time points(tentatively&#32;
