Objective :
To learn the epidemic distribution of avian influenza virus in external environments in Liaoning Province,and to provide evidence for the prevention and control of avian influenza.
Methods :
The environmental samples were collected monthly during 2016 and 2017(including samples from emergency monitoring in June to August,2016 and March to May,2017)from live poultry markets,live poultry wholesale markets,large-scale poultry farms(households),free-range poultry famers and poultry processing factories in Liaoning Province. Real-time polymerase chain reaction assay was used to detect nucleic acid of Influenza A as well as H5,H7 and H9 subtypes in the environmental samples. The distribution of avian influenza virus in external environments in Liaoning Province was analyzed.
Results :
A total of 4 037 environmental samples were collected and detected from 2016 to 2017,there were 177 copies of type A avian influenza virus and the positive rate of avian influenza A virus was 4.38%. The positive rate in 2017 was 6.26%, which was higher than 2.40% in 2016(P<0.05). H9 subtype had the highest positive rate of 3.07%;H7 subtype was first detected in 2017. The positive rates of avian influenza virus from the first to fourth quarters of a year were 8.54%,4.88%,2.17% and 1.45%,respectively. The positive rates of avian influenza virus in live poultry markets were 8.08%,the highest among different sites,and the subtypes were mainly H9. The positive rates of avian influenza virus in samples of poultry cage and poultry washing sewage were 23.47% and 15.96%. H5 and H9 subtypes were detected in all types of samples,and H7 subtypes or mixed types were detected in samples of feces,poultry cage,poultry drinking water and chopping board.
Conclusion
The subtypes of avian influenza virus in the environments of Liaoning Province were mostly H9 and H5,and the H7 was first detected in 2017. Live poultry markets should be the key monitoring sites,especially in winter and spring.

OBJECTIVETo understand the prevalence of informing doctors of the HIV infection status during medical care seeking and influential factors among people living with HIV/AIDS.
METHODSThe study was conducted among people living with HIV/AIDS in 7 provinces in China, including those receiving HIV test, HIV counsel and HIV infection treatment. The data were analyzed with software SAS 9.2. Chi-square test was used to compare the informing rates in patients with different characteristics. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the influential factors.
RESULTSOf the 2 432 HIV/AIDS patients, 49.7% (716/1 442) didn't inform the doctors of their HIV infection status actively. The non-active informing rate was 51.9% (559/1 077) in males, 62.9% (212/337) in age group 18-30 years old, 58.1% (555/955) in those with a educational level >primary school, 65.7% (241/367) in those working in private/joint companies or the self employed and 62.5% (197/315) in those living in small cities. The non active informing rate was highest in those infected through sexual contact (66.3%, 275/415). Multivariate logical regression analysis indicated that those infected through illegal blood donation would like to inform of the HIV infection status actively (OR=0.083, 95% CI: 0.049-0.141) , but those working in private/joint companies or the self employed would like not to inform of the HIV infection status actively (OR=1.531, 95% CI: 1.017-2.304).
CONCLUSIONThe non active informing rate of HIV infection status was high in people living with HIV/AIDS. It is necessary to conduct the targeted health education to encourage people living with HIV/AIDS to inform of their HIV infection status actively.

OBJECTIVETo explore the safety and efficacy of pegylated recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (PEG-rhG-CSF) in preventing chemotherapy-induced neutropenia in patients with breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and to provide the basis for clinical application.
METHODSAccording to the principle of open-label, randomized, parallel-group controlled clinical trial, all patients were randomized by 1∶1∶1 into three groups to receive PEG-rhG-CSF 100 μg/kg, PEG-rhG-CSF 6 mg, or rhG-CSF 5 μg/kg, respectively. The patients with breast cancer received two chemotherapy cycles, and the NSCLC patients received 1-2 cycles of chemotherapy according to their condition. All patients were treated with the combination chemotherapy of TAC (docetaxel+ epirubicin+ cyclophosphamide) or TA (docetaxel+ epirubicin), or the chemotherapy of docetaxel combined with carboplatin, with a 21 day cycle.
RESULTSThe duration of grade 3-4 neutropenia in the PEG-rhG-CSF 100 μg/kg and PEG-rhG-CSF 6 mg groups were similar with that in the rhG-CSF 5 μg/kg group (P>0.05 for all). The incidence rate of grade 3-4 neutropenia in the PEG-rhG-CSF 100 μg/kg group, PEG-rhG-CSF 6 mg group, and G-CSF 5 μg/kg group were 69.7%, 68.4%, and 69.5%, respectively, with a non-significant difference among the three groups (P=0.963). The incidence rate of febrile neutropenia in the PEG-rhG-CSF 100 μg/kg group, PEG-rhG-CSF 6 mg group and G-CSF 5 μg/kg group were 6.1%, 6.4%, and 5.5%, respectively, showing no significant difference among them (P=0.935). The incidence rate of adverse events in the PEG-rhG-CSF 100 μg/kg group, PEG-rhG-CSF 6 mg group and G-CSF 5 μg / kg group were 6.7%, 4.1%, and 5.5%, respectively, showing a non-significant difference among them (P=0.581).
CONCLUSIONSIn patients with breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing TAC/TA chemotherapy, a single 100 μg/kg injection or a single fixed 6 mg dose of PEG-rhG-CSF at 48 hours after chemotherapy show definite therapeutic effect with a low incidence of adverse events and mild adverse reactions. Compared with the continuous daily injection of rhG-CSF 5 μg/kg/d, a single 100 μg/kg injection or a single fixed 6 mg dose of PEG-rhG-CSF has similar effect and is more advantageous in preventing chemotherapy-induced neutropenia.
