To study the treatment of metastasis of experimental lung cancer with a recombinant adenovirus carrying IL 2 gene, concentrations of IL 2 and associated cytokines in murine lung lavage and blood were determined by ELISA at different times after intratracheal injection of the recombinant adenovirus. The lung metastasis nodes, survival time, survival rate were investigated in a C57BL/6 mouse model by intratracheal administration, and the NK activity and CTL activity were also determined by 51 Cr 4 hour release method. The results showed that IL 2 could be detected in lung tissue as early as 6 hours after administration of IL 2 gene, its concentration was higher in lung lavage than in peripheral blood, and was higher in experimental group than that in the control group; intratracheal use of the IL 2 carring recombinant adenovirus had significant therapeutic effect on metastasis of experimental lung cancer. Increased CTL and NK activities, longer survival time, and higher survival rate were observed in the experimental group compared with the control group. It is suggested that intratracheal usage of adenovirus vector carrying IL 2 gene might play therapeutic role on the lung cancer metastasis, indicating that gene therapy of lung tumors could be done through airway directly with recombinant adenovirus.

Objective: To investigate the characteristics of lower respiratory tract infection caused by Chryseobacterium and its antimicrobial susceptibility in vitro . Methods: The clinical data of 52 cases of lower respiratory tract infection caused by Chryseobacterium were analyzed, and the antimicrobial susceptibility of commonly used agents was determined with the method of agar dilution. Also the 50% lethal dosage (LD 50 ) (as the marker of virulence) of 20 randomly selected Chryseobacterium strains for mice were determined. Results: (1) Thirty six was over 60 years old;all of 52 cases had underlying diseases, mainly were chronic obstruction pulmonary disease and malignant tumors. Seventeen cases had the history of incubation or tracheotomy for mechanical ventilation, and 35 had history of broad antibiotics treatment. The mean hospitalization time before infection were 35.6 d, and 38.5% of the cases had mixed infection with other bacteria. No specific clinical manifestations and chest X ray appearance revealed. (2) The in vitro activity of 25 agents showed that these strains were highly resistant. (3) The range of the LD 50 of tested strains was 4.11?10 6 5.68?10 8/mouse, suggesting low virulence of this kind of bacteria. Conclusion: The lower respiratory tract infection caused by Chryseobacterium has no unique features; the incidence of the infection increases in immunosuppressed old patients with various underlying diseases, although the virulence is relatively low. Because the clinical isolates are highly resistant, the antibiotics should be selected according to the results of bacterial sensitivity test.

Methods:
The surveillance data on viral diarrhea among children under 5 years of age in Shaoxing City from 2019 to 2022 were collected, including demographics and stool testing results. The epidemiological and etiological characteristics of viral diarrhea were analyzed using a descriptive epidemiological method.
Results:
A total of 763 diarrheal children under 5 years of age were reported in Shaoxing City from 2019 to 2022, and 236 children were tested positive for virus (30.93%). The detection of virus was 49.01%, 31.61%, 20.43% and 21.89% from 2019 to 2022, which appeared an overall tendency towards a decline (P<0.05). The incidence of viral diarrhea peaked from November to March of the next year and from May to July, and the detection of virus was lower among children with diarrhea living in urban areas (Yuecheng District, Keqiao District and Shangyu District) than among those in suburb areas (Zhuji City, Shengzhou City and Xinchang County) (30.22% vs. 52.00%, P<0.05). There were 206 children tested positive for a single virus, and the detection rates of rotavirus (RV), enteric adenovirus (EAdV), norovirus (NoV), and sapovirus (SaV) were 9.57%, 8.91%, 8.39%, and 0.13%, respectively. There were 25 children with virus co-infections, and the positive rates of EAdV and NoV, RV and EAdV and RV and NoV co-infections were 1.31%, 1.18% and 0.79%, respectively. There were 5 children with triple infections of RV, EAdV and NoV (0.66%). The highest detection of EAdV was seen in April, the highest detection of RV and NoV was seen in January, while SaV was only detected in April.
Conclusion
The incidence of viral diarrhea among children under 5 years of age peaked in winter and spring in Shaoxing City from 2019 to 2022, and the cases predominantly occurred in urban areas. The detection of virus appeared an overall tendency towards a decline, with high detection of RV, EAdV and NoV.
