Due to the serovar diversity in Haemophilus (H.) parasuis, it is difficult to develop a universal serological method for detection of this pathogen. Here, we report a universal plate-agglutination test for detecting H. parasuis. Diagnostic antisera were prepared by mixing antisera of serovars 4, 5, 12, 13 and 14 in the optimized ratio. The results of the plate-agglutination test showed that the diagnostic antisera could agglutinate with all 15 reference strains of H. parasuis and 74/75 clinical isolates. Further, the specificity of the method was validated with 22 bacterial strains from 12 related species.

Objective To investigate the relationship between frailty and serum biomarkers in the elderly. Methods A total of 371 elderly individuals aged 60 years and above with complete medical data were recruited during health examinations. Frailty phenotype assessment and comprehensive geriatric assessment were conducted.Serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6 ) ,high sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) ,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) ,homocysteine(Hcy) ,insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1) ,25-hydroxyvitamin D[25(OH)D] ,folic acid and vitamin B12(VitB12) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays ( ELISA ) and chemiluminescence immunoassays. Associations between frailty and the above factors were analyzed. Results Serum levels of IL-6 ,TNF-α ,Hcy and IGF-1 were significantly elevated along with progressive increase in frailty severity(all P<0.05).There were a downward trend in serum 25(OH)D levels and an upward trend in serum hs-CRP ,folic acid and VitB12 levels as frailty severity increased ,but the changes did not amount to any statistical significance(all P>0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that ,after adjusting for age ,gender ,body mass index (BMI)and some clinical aspects (hearing loss ,urinary incontinence ,pain ,malnutrition ,cognitive dysfunction ,decreased activities of daily living ,depression , insomnia ,and anemia) ,serum levels of IL-6(OR=1.012 ,95% CI=1.005-2.041 ,P=0.033) ,IGF-1 (OR= 1.017 ,95% CI = 1.011-1.118 ,P= 0.021)and Hcy (OR= 1.007 ,95% CI :1.002-1.073 ,P=0.047)were significantly associated with frailty status. Conclusions Serum levels of IL-6 ,Hcy and IGF-1 are related to frailty status and may be used as potential biomarkers for the assessment of frailty in older adults.

Objective:To study the predictive value of hour-specific total serum bilirubin(TSB) nomogram combined with clinical risk factors in the risk of hyperbilirubinemia.Method:Perinatal clinical data of newborns born in Shanghai Pudong New Area Health Care Hospital for Women and Children, Shanghai Pudong New Area People's Hospital and Shanghai Pudong Hospital from August 2017 to July 2018 were collected in this prospective study. Transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) was monitored before discharge from hospital. Enrolled neonates were followed up for 28 days. The patients were assigned to neonatal hyperbilirubinemia group (NHB) and non-hyperbilirubinemia group (Non-HB) according to the occurrence of hyperbilirubinemia. The predictive value of models for the risk of hyperbilirubinemia was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and Logistic regression analysis.Result:A total of 8 664 newborns were included in this study, with 1 196 cases of hyperbilirubinemia, with an incidence of 13.8%. Logistic regression analysis showed that maternal blood type O, premature rupture of membranes, male gender, gestational age 35~37 weeks, subcutaneous ecchymosis/cranial edema, and breastfeeding were independent risk factors for NHB ( P<0.05). The area under receiver operative characteristic curve (ROC) of predischarge bilirubin risk zone only was 0.874(95% CI 0.861~0.885, P<0.05)and for all independent risk factors was 0.664 (95% CI 0.647~0.680, P<0.05). The area under ROC curve was 0.891 (95% CI 0.880~0.902, P<0.05) by combining predischarge bilirubin risk zone with clinical risk factors. Conclusion:Predischarge bilirubin risk zone combined with clinical risk factors can reasonably predict neonatal hyperbilirubinemia well.

Objective:
To analyze the genetic characteristics of the hemagglutinin(HA) and neuraminidase(NA) genes of the influenza A/H1N1(09pdm) viruses isolated in the city of Yancheng in 2014-2017.
Methods:
The throat swab specimens of patients with influenza-like illness (ILI) from sentinel surveillance hospitals and outbreak sites were detected using the method of real time RT-PCR. The influenza A/H1N1(09pdm) viruses were isolated using MDCK cell culture method in 2014-2017. The strains in 2014-2017 were selected randomly and their sequences of the HA1 and NA genes were amplified through one step RT -PCR method and the PCR products were sequenced. The mutations of genes and acid locus were analyzed and the evolutional trees were generated using bioinformatics software.
Results:
The clustering relationships of the respective branches of HA1 and NA genes of seventeen A/H1N1(09pdm) strains isolated in Yancheng area were basically the same and the phylogenetic trees of HA1 and NA genes were respectively clustered into four evolutionary branches. Compared with the vaccine strain A/California/07/2009(H1N1pdm)in the Northern Hemisphere, a total of three antigen epitopes (Ca, Sa, Sb) in HA1 genes of strains in Yancheng area were involved in six antigenic sites (K154R, S162N, K163Q, S185T, L191I, S203T); there were three mutations (D222G/N, G223R, E224K) in the 220 ring and one locus (L191I) in the 190 helix of the receptor binding sites; the two strains (A/Jiangsu-YC/SWL1540/2017, A/Jiangsu-YC/SWL1545/2017) isolated in 2017 increased the 162NQS glycosylation site. Because the strains of the antigen epitopes, receptor binding sites and glycosylation sites in the HA1 genes had a certain degree of variations in Yancheng area in 2014-2017, the protective effects of vaccine strain A/California/07/2009 (H1N1pdm) was limited at the gene level. The two strains (A/Jiangsu-YC/SWL1540/2017 and A/Jiangsu-YC/SWL1545/2017) isolated in 2017 were clustered with vaccine strain A/Michigan/45/2015(H1N1pdm) and had better protective effects. Seventeen A/H1N1(09pdm) strains had no mutations in catalytic residues and drug resistant sites of NA genes, but a part of strains had a certain degree of variations in glycosylation sites of NA genes.
Conclusions
These results indicated the HA1 and NA genes of influenza A/H1N1(09pdm) viruses circulated in Yancheng area in 2014-2017 changed gradually. The accumulation of these mutations would result in antigenic drift of influenza A/H1N1(09pdm) viruses.
