Objective To investigate the infection status of human parvovirus B19(HPV B19) in voluntary blood donors of Fos‐han City .Methods The HPV B19 IgG and IgM antibodies of voluntary blood donors were detectd by using ELISA .Real‐time PCR assay was applied to detect HPV B19 DNA on HPV B19 IgG and/or IgM antibody positive specimens .Results There were 92 HPV B19 IgG positive cases in 368 specimens ,positive rate was 25 .00% ;and the HPV B19 IgM positive cases were 2 ,positive rate was 0 .54% .4 positive cases were detected in 94 antibody positive specimens ,positive rate was 4 .26% .Conclusion HPV B19 in‐fection of blood donation person in Foshan is high ,new infections and chronic infection rate are low .HPV B19 viral loads are low in people with chronic infection .

Gefitinib is the well-tolerated first-line treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. As it needs analgesics during oncology treatment, particularly in the context of the coronavirus disease, where patients are more susceptible to contract high fever and sore throat.This has increased the likelihood of taking both gefitinib and antipyretic analgesic acetaminophen (APAP). Given that gefitinib and APAP overdose can predispose patients to liver injury or even acute liver failure, there is a risk of severe hepatotoxicity when these two drugs are used concomitantly. However, little is known regarding their safety at therapeutic doses. This study simulated the administration of gefitinib and APAP at clinically relevant doses in an animal model and confirmed that gefitinib in combination with APAP exhibited additional hepatotoxicity. We found that gefitinib plus APAP significantly exacerbated cell death, whereas each drug by itself had little or minor effect on hepatocyte survival. Mechanistically, combination of gefitinib and APAP induces hepatocyte death via the apoptotic pathway obviously. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and DNA damage accumulation are involved in hepatocyte apoptosis. Gefitinib plus APAP also promotes the expression of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) and downregulated the antioxidant factor, Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), by inhibiting p62 expression.Taken together, this study revealed the potential ROS-mediated apoptosis-dependent hepatotoxicity effect of the combination of gefitinib and APAP, in which the p62/Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway participates and plays an important regulatory role.
