Chinese Journal of Biologicals 2024;37(9):1102-1108
Objective To analyze the immune efficacy and influencing factors of hepatitis B vaccine(HepB)in adults(≥40 years)in Tongzhou District,Beijing,so as to provide scientific basis for adult HepB immunization strategy.Methods Permanent residents aged 40 years and older in Tongzhou District with negative hepatitis B five indexes were randomly divided into three groups. The three groups were inoculated with Saccharomyces cerevisiae HepB,Hansenula HepB,and Chinese hamster ovary(CHO)HepB according to the“0-1-6 months”schedule. Blood samples were collected before as well as the 1st and 6th month after full immunization for hepatitis B surface antibody(anti-HBs)detection. The χ~2test,non-parametric test,univariate and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze antibody seroconversion rate and influencing factors. Through passive monitoring,the suspected adverse events following immunization(AEFI)occurred within 28d after vaccination were collected.Results One month after the full immunization,the overall seroconversion rate of anti-HBs of the three vaccines was 90. 07%,and the geomtric mean concentration(GMC)was 206. 06 IU/L. After six months,the overall seroconversion rate of anti-HBs was 82. 88% and the GMC was 68. 17 IU/L,with the significant difference(χ~2=149. 42,P < 0. 001;Z =-11. 942,P < 0. 001). Multivariate analysis showed that different vaccine types were the influencing factors of anti-HBs seroconversion rate after 1 and 6 months of full immunization(OR > 1,P < 0. 05),while gender was the influencing factor after 6 months of full immunization(OR > 1,P < 0. 05). In addition,No AEFI report was collected.Conclusion People over 40 years old could get good immune effect after inoculation of HepB for 1 and 6 months,and CHO HepB and Hansenula HepB groups were better than Saccharomyces cerevisiae HepB group. It is necessary to strengthen the propaganda and popularize the adult HepB vaccination so as to reduce the incidence of adult hepatitis B.

Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2003;0(07):-
Objective To determine the sensitivity and specificity of ramification amplification method for detecting Shiga toxin and to determine the feasibility in detecting E. coli 0157: H7 and other shiga toxin-producing E. coli isolated from food and clinical specimens. Methods The sensitivity and specificity of RAM were compared with those of PCR by detecting synthetic Shiga toxin DNA target and isolates from food and clinical specimens. Results The lowest number of targets detected by RAM assay was 10 molecules. Several clinical isolates of E. coli 0157 :H7, Shigella dysenteriae and nonpathogenic E. coli were further tested. The results showed that E. coli 0157: H7 and Shigella dysenteriae were positive for shiga toxin gene,while nonpathogenic E. coli were negative. The results of RAM and PCR by detecting isolates were same. Conclusion RAM assay could be an alternative to PCR to detect STEC in food product and clinical specimens because of its high sensitivity and specificity , simplicity and isothermal amplification.

Objective To develop a sensitive, specific, rapid and easy method for detecting E. coli O157 : H7 and other Shiga toxin-producing E. coli in food and clinical specimens. Methods A circular probe and capture probe specific for Shiga toxin-2 (stx2) gene had been synthesized and was used for determining the sensitivity of ramification amplification method (RAM). Different serotypes which contained stx2 gene, including an E. coli O157 : H7, an E. coli O46 : H38, an E. coli O111 : NM, an E. coli O22 : H8 and E. coli ATCC23716 (stx2 gene negative) were used for determining the specificity. All strains were detected by RAM to determine whether they contained stx2 gene. Real-time RAM was further studied to detect stx2 gene. Results The lowest number targets detected by RAM assay was 10 copies of stx2, indicating that RAM assay was as sensitive as conventional PCR. The result of specificity showed that different serotypes of strains were all positive for stx2 gene, while nonpathogenic E. coli ATCC23716 was negative. Among 32 isolates, 28 STEC isolates containing stx2 gene were positive by RAM assay, while others were negative. The RAM results were 100% in concordance with that of PCR. The real-time RAM results also showed that as many as 10 bacteria can be detected and the time of appearance of detectable signal was depended on the target concentration. Conclusion RAM assay can offer an alternative method for PCR to detect E. coli O157 : H7 and STEC in all types of specimens because of its simplicity and isothermal amplification.
