Objective:
To understand hepatitis B virus(HBV) infection in high school students in Guangxi, and to provide scientific foundation for hepatitis B prevention and control strategies.
Methods:
A selfdesigned epidemiological questionnaire was used among 2 632 participants. Information regarding general demographic characteristics, lifestyle habits, HBV infection history, knowledge of viral hepatitis prevention and control, as well as hepatitis B vaccination. Univariate and multivariate logistics regression analysis was used to analyze associated factors for hepatitis B infection.
Results:
A total of 192 out of 2 632 participants were found HBsAg positive and 2 440 were HBsAg negative. Multivariate analysis showed that family liver disease history and hairdressing injury positively associated with hepatitis B virus infection risk (OR=3.62, 95% CI=2.28-5.73;OR=3.06, 95%CI=1.94-4.83), and hepatitis B vaccination was negatively associated with hepatitis B virus infection risk (OR=0.08, 95%CI=0.05-0.11).
Conclusion
Family history of liver disease, hairdressing injury experiences, as well as low rate of hepatitis B vaccination may associate with relatively high prevalence of hepatitis B virus infection among high school students in Guangxi.

Objective:To make the early clinical antibiotic regimen by finding out the infection of corynebacterium in the pus of patients with granulomatous mastitis in the early stage.Methods:A total of 42 patients who were diagnosed and treated in the Breast Center of Guangdong Maternal and Child Health Hospital from Jun. 2016 to Mar. 2017 with complete follow-up data were retrospectively analyzed. PCR method was used to detect corynebacterium in the patients’ pus. Patients in the positive group were treated with antibiotics alone, antibiotics + hormones and hormones alone, while patients in the negative group were treated with antibiotics + hormones and hormones alone. The postoperative recurrence rate and cure rate of different groups of patients were observed.Results:The antibiotic regimen for granulomatous mastitis in patients with corynebacterium infection included a combination of short-acting levofloxacin and azithromycin and long-acting anti-mycobacterium drugs. Among the 42 patients in the subgroup, 21 patients were confirmed positive for corynebacterium by PCR detection of pus, and the postoperative recurrence rate was 23.5%. There was a statistically significant difference between the antibiotic group, the antibiotic + hormone group and the hormone group in treatment of granulomatous mastitis infected with corynebacterium ( χ2=5.494, P=0.036) . PCR detection shouwed corynebacterium negative in 21 cases, and postoperative recurrence rate of 16.7%. No statistically significant difference in efficacy was found between antibiotic + hormone group and hormone only group for GM patients without bacterial infection ( χ2=1.129, P=0.719) . Conclusion:Early detection of corynebacterium infection in GM patients is significant for clinical guidance of the application of lipophilic antibiotics.

OBJECTIVE To establish the ultra-high liquid chromatography (UPLC) characteristic spectrum of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis from different producing areas, to conduct chemical pattern recognition analysis, and to identify the medicinal materials of their different origins and counterfeit products. METHODS UPLC method was adopted to establish the characteristic spectra of 43 batches of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis from different origins; cluster analysis combined with principal component analysis were used to analyze their quality; Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis from different origins and counterfeit products were identified. RESULTS UPLC specific spectrum of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis was established, and 13 common peaks were calibrated; peak 2 was identified as catechin, peak 3 as chlorogenic acid, peak 4 as cryptochlorogenic acid, peak 7 as isochlorogenic acid B, peak 8 as isodehydroguotenine, peak 9 as isooguotenine, peak 10 as dehydroguotenine, peak 11 as isochlorogenic acid C, peak 12 as goutenine, and peak 13 as camptothecin. Through cluster analysis, the medicinal materials of 43 batches of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis could be divided into 5 categories according to their different origins. Further principal component analysis revealed that the principal component comprehensive scores of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis produced in Jiangxi and Hunan were relatively high, ranging from 0.264 to 2.904. The specific chromatogram could effectively distinguish among the different origins and their counterfeit products of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis. CONCLUSIONS The established UPLC specific chromatogram can be used for quality control of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis, and the study found that the quality of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis from Jiangxi and Hunan provinces is relatively good.
