Objective To investigate the clinical and endoscopic features of ischemic colitis (IC),to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods A retrospective analysis of 62 inpatients who were diag-nosed as IC was performed.The patients'clinical data,clinical manifestations,complications,laboratory tests,imaging tests,colonoscopy,pathology,diagnosis,treatment,follow -up and other information were analyzed.Results Of 62 patients,there were 1 7 males and 45 females,mean age was (66.1 ±1 0.7)years old,more than 60 years of age there were 47 cases (75.81 %),of which 38 cases (61 .29%)showed the presence of one or more underlying disea-ses.All patients had acute onset,57 cases (91 .94%)had abdominal pain,bloody stools occurred in 56 cases (90.32%).Colonoscopy revealed 60 cases as a transient type,2 cases of stenosis,no gangrene type,lesions were mainly left colon.All patients were given fasting,anti -infection,microcirculation improvement and intravenous nutri-tional support,with no serious complications or transfer surgery occurred,colonoscopy was reviewed 4 -8weeks, 62 cases were healing or had improvement,2 patients in the 3 -year observation period was readmitted attack,the recurrence rate was 3.23%.Conclusion Ischemic colitis is more common in older people,to strengthen the aware-ness and vigilance of the disease,early diagnosis based on colonoscopy as a primary diagnostic modality and prompt treatment has positive significance.

The comparative analysis of the biological characterization and the genetic background study of EV71 circulating strains is commonly recognized as basic work necessary for development of an effective EV71 vaccine. In this study, we sequenced five EV71 circulating strains, isolated from Fuyang, Hefei, Kunming and Shenzhen city of China and named them FY-23, FY-22, H44, K9 and S1 respectively. The sequence alignment demonstrated their genotypes be C4. The genetic distance of the VP1 gene from these isolates suggested that they were highly co-related with genetic identity similar to other previously reported EV71 strains in China. Additionally, these strains were identified to display some obvious proliferation dynamics and plaque morphology when propagated in Vero cells. However, a distinctive difference in pathogenic ability in neonatal mice was found. Some differences in cross neutralization test & immunogenic analysis were also found. All these results are related to the biological characterization of circulating EV71 strains in China and aid in the development of an EV71 vaccine in the future.
