Objective:To investigate the effects of pre-existing antibody on seroconversion rate after influenza vaccination.Methods:This study recruited 1 900 healthy volunteers to receive influenza split vaccines in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous region and Yunnan Province from September 2009 to October 2018. Hemagglutinin agglutination inhibition assay was used to detect the titers of specific antibodies in blood samples collected before vaccination and 28 d after vaccination and the effects of pre-existing antibody on the seroconversion to different influenza vaccine components were analyzed.Results:Trend analysis showed that with the increasing titer of pre-existing antibody, the seroconversion rates to A/H1N1, A/H3N2, B/Victoria and B/Yamagata vaccine components were gradually decreased (χ 2=121.76, P<0.001; χ 2=67.58, P<0.001; χ 2=45.25, P<0.001; χ 2=54.55, P<0.001). After adjusting for factors such as region, gender and age, multivariate logistic regression showed that pre-existing antibody titer equal to or higher than 40 was an independent factor that affected the seroconversion to A/H1N1, A/H3N2 and B/Victoria vaccine components, and the adjusted OR (95%CI) values were 2.50(2.00-3.13)、1.64(1.35-2.00) and 2.50(1.79-3.45), respectively. Conclusions:The seroconversion rate to each vaccine component was negatively correlated with the pre-existing antibody titer. The factor that pre-existing antibody titer equal to or higher than 40 was detrimental to the seroconversion to A/H1N1, A/H3N2 and B/Victoria vaccine components, but had no significant influence on B/Yamagata seroconversion.

Objective To observe the effects of different interventions on the body mass index (BMI) and body fat content in overweight and obese adolescents, with an attempt to design reasonable weight relief program.Methods Totally 67 overweight or obese adolescents from a middle school of Beijing were randomly divided into three groups: control group ( n = 16 ), diet intervention group ( n= 22), and combined interventions group ( n =29). The changes of BMI and body fat rate (BFR) were observed. Results BMI significantly decreased after interventions ( diet intervention group: P = 0. 000; combined interventions group: P = 0. 018 ); the change of BMI in diet intervention group was significantly larger than that in control group ( P = 0. 035 ). The trunk and body BFRs also significantly decreased after interventions (diet intervention group: P=0. 000, P = 0. 013; combined interventions group: P = 0. 000, P = 0. 000 ); the changes of trunk and body BFRs were significantly larger in combined interventions group than those in control group ( P = 0.005, P = 0. 003 ). Conclusion Diet intervention and combined interventions are both effective in achieving weight loss in adolescents, and combined interventions have superior effectiveness.

Objective To explore the effects of diet and/or exercise intervention on oxidative stress of overweight or obese adolescents.Methods Thirty-one adolescents with normal body weight(normal control group)and 93 overweight or obese adolescents(average age(13.6 ±0.7)years; body mass index (BMI)22.4 to 34.1 kg/m2)were enrolled in this study.The overweight or obese participants were then randomly assigned to the diet group(group A),exercise group(group B),diet plus exercise group(group C),and non-intervention group(group D).Individualized caloric intake was carried out.One-hour afterschool exercise was performed once per day,4 days per week for 10 weeks.Changes of anthropometry,body composition,and metabolic biomarkers were determined.Results Compared to the normal control group,serum levels of fasting glucose,total cholesterol(TC),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),and malondialdehyde(M DA)of the in overweight group were significant increased(all P < 0.05),although the level of SOD was significant decreased(P < 0.05).Serum MDA level was positively correlated with bodyweight,BMI,TC,and LDL-C(R values were 0.209,0.228,0.274,and 0.263,respectively ; all P <0.05),and serum SOD level was negatively correlated with bodyweight and BMI(R values were-0.334 and-0.362,respectively ; both P < 0.05).Group A,B and C showed a significant decrease in BMI,waist circumference and body fat after the intervention(all P < 0.05).The level of MDA was significantly decreased after the intervention in group A and B(both P < 0.05); the levels of TC and LDL-C were significantly decreased in group B and C(both P < 0.05).Conclusion:Oxidative stress could have existed in overweight adolescents even when their serum glucose and lipid profiles are at a normal level.Ten-week diet and/or exercise intervention may contribute to improved body weight control,lipid metabolism,and oxidative stress response in this population.

Objective To analyze the GDM of 336 cases with chronic HBV in pregnancy. Methods According to HBV DNA≥1.0 × 103 IU/mL, participants were divided into HBV DNA (+) or (-) group. 409 cases without HBV were selected as control group. Differences on GMD incidence between groups and virus load and OGTT blood sugar correlation were compared. Results The incidence of GDM of HBV DNA (+) or (-) group was 16.77% and 17.71%, which is higher than that in HBV group (10.27%). The difference is significant (P < 0.05). The correlation index between HBV DNA and fasting blood-glucose is r = 0.005, P = 0.610, the result of which is not statistically significant. But correlation index between HBV DNA and blood sugar at 1 h , 2 h are r = 0.082, 0.086; P = 0.000, 0.000, the result of which is statistically significant. Conclusion The oc-currence of GDM were higher in HBV DNA (+) or (-) group. The viral load is positively related with blood sugar of glucose tolerance at 1 h or 2 h.

Objective:
To investigate the feasibility of parameter-optimized magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as the first choice for imaging examination in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS), and to assess the effects of quality improvement (QI) measures on shortening the door-to-needle time (DNT).
Methods:
A retrospective case-control study was conducted. A total of 69 AIS patients hospitalized at the Department of Neurology of the People's Hospital of Wuzhou from August 2015 to July 2018 were enrolled in the study, and the head MRI was used as the first choice for imaging examination. All patients received the intravenous thrombolytic therapy with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA). Patients with AIS undergoing intravenous thrombolysis from August 2015 to March 2017 were included in the control group, and those receiving intravenous thrombolysis after QI measures from April 2017 to July 2018 were included in the experimental group. QI included informing the stroke team in advance by emergency physicians, treatment process changing from serial procedure to the parallel one, optimization of MRI scanning parameters, and use of rapid test instruments. The MRI scanning time was compared between the two groups. The DNT of the two groups was compared, and paired-samples
