Journal of Clinical Pediatrics 2014;(9):825-828
Objective To study the T Lymphocyte Subsets and the cytokines in the newborns with infectious diseases. Methods Twenty cases of neonatal bacterial pneumonia (bacterial group), 15 cases of rotavirus enteritis (virus group) and 20 newborns with jaundice (control group) were recruited in this study. The peripheral CD4+T Cells and lymphocyte subsets were assessed by flow cytometry. Results The IL-4 level was significantly different among different groups (F=3.39, P=0.041). The levels of IL-17 and IFN-γdid not differ signiifcantly among different groups (F=0.28 and 1.24 respectively, P>0.05). The IL-4 level was higher in bacterial group than that in virus group and control group (P<0.05). The percentages of CD3+, CD4+, CD19+and NK cells and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ had significant difference among different groups (F=3.30-26.69, P<0.05). The percentages of CD3+and CD4+cells and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+were lower in bacterial group and virus group than those in control group (P<0.05). The percentage of CD19+cells was higher in bacterial group and virus group than that in control group (P<0.05). The percentage of NK cells was lower in virus group than that in bacterial group and control group (P<0.05). Conclusions The pattern of cytokines level is different in newborns with infection caused by different pathogens. Newborns with infectious diseases have immune dysfunction and Th2-dominated imbalance. The low percentages of T lymphocyte subsets indicate the depressed cellular immunity after infection, which may result in atypical symptom and prolonged disease course.

Objective To investigate the distribution of genotypes in chronic HBV infection (CHB) and acute HBV infection (AHB) patients in Shanghai. Methods Sixty-two patients with AHB and 73 patients with CHB admitted to ('hanghai Hospital of Shanghai between 2003 and 2007 were studied. Viral genotypes of all the patients were determined by direct gene sequencing.Meanwhile, epidemiological, clinical and biochemical parameters of all patients were collected. Mean values of different groups were compared by t test while frequency was compared by chi square test. Results The major prevalent genotypes in both AHB and CHB patients were genotype B and C (48.4% vs 51.6% in AHB patients and 26.0% vs 74.0% in CHB patients). The proportion of genotype B was higher in AHB patients compared to CHB patients (P= 0.02). Epidemiological factors and clinical outcomes were not statistically different among patients with different viral genotypes. The proportion of genotype C was much higher in CHB patients compared to AHB patients (P=0.006). The main transmission route of AHB was heterosexual interaction which was 18 out of 62 (29.0%), but in CHB patients, it was prenatal transmission which was 38 out of 73 (52.1%). Conclusions In shanghai, the main HBV genotypes in both AHB and CHB patients are genotype B and C. The proportion of genotype B is relatively high in AHB patients while proportion of genotype C is more common in CHB patients. There is no significant relationship between genotypes and the clinical outcomes of AI-IB patients.

Objective:To analyze the genetic variation characteristics of the HA gene of influenza A virus (H3N2) in Guizhou province from 2017 to 2019. Methods:Twenty strains of influenza A virus (H3N2) were randomly selected from 10 network laboratories in Guizhou province for RNA extraction. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and sequencing were performed. The products were analyzed using bioinformatics software.Results:The nucleotide homology of the HA gene of the 20 strains was 97.7%-100%, which was highly homologous to the vaccine strains A/Hong-Kong/4801/2014 recommended by WHO in 2017 and A/Singapore-INFIMH/16-0019/2016 recommended by WHO in 2018, but they were significantly different from the vaccine strain A/Kansas/14/2017 recommended by WHO in 2019. Genetic analysis showed that the 20 strains were divided into two branches, and the strains that were prevalent in 2019 were located in different branches, with marked genetic differences. Key site analysis showed mutations in antigenic determinants A, B, C, and E and mutations in the anterior and posterior walls of receptor binding sites. Key site analysis also showed that there was an increase in the number of glycosylation sites compared with the vaccine strains prevalent in the same year. Genetic distance, antigen sites, and glycosylation sites were slightly different between virus strains prevalent in 2017-2018 and virus strains prevalent in 2019. Conclusion:The HA gene of the influenza A virus subtype H3N2 in Guizhou province from 2017 to 2019 showed heterogeneity and gene mutation, especially in 2019. Therefore, close monitoring of the genetic evolution of the influenza A virus subtype H3N2 is necessary.
