Objective To compare the detection of flu A by nucleic acid amplification assav and rapid antigen assay in nasopharynx swabs and oropharynx swabs of flu-like patients.Methods A total of 170 flu-like patients were recruited in out-patient of Youan Hospital from September to October in 2009.Both nasopharynx swabs and oropharynx swabs were collected.Flu A virus was detected by both real-time reverse transcriptation polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and rapid antigen assay.The data were analyzed by chi square test.Results For nasopharynx swabs,the positive rate of nucleic acid amplification assay was 74.1%(126/170),while that of rapid antigen assay was 65.9%(112/170)(X2=2.75,P>0.05).However,for oropharynx swabs,the positive rate of nucleic acid amplification assay was much higher than that of rapid antigen assay(62.9% vs 38.8%)(X2=19.78,P<0.01).Moreover,for nucleic acid amplification assay,the positive rate of nasopharynx swabs were higher than that of oropharynx swabs (X2=4. 90, P<0. 05). For rapid antigen assay, the positive rate of nasopharynx swabs was also higher than that of oropharynx swabs (X2=24.95, P<0.01). Based on the outcome of flu A detected with nasopharynx swabs by the nucleic acid amplification assay,the sensitivities of oropharynx swabs by nucleic acid amplification assay,oropharynx swabs by rapid antigen assay, nasopharynx swabs by rapid antigen assay were 81.7%,50.0% and 94.8%, respectively; the specifieities were 90.9%, 93.2% and 95.5%, respectively;the positive predictive values were 96. 3%, 95. 5% and 98.2%, respectively; the negative predictive values were 63.5 %, 39.4 % and 72.40%, respectively; Kappa coefficients were 0.64, 0.30 and 0.75,respectively; the total coincidences were 84.1%, 61.20% and 89.4%, respectively. Conclusions The detection of flu A with nasopharynx swabs is more sensitive than oropharynx swabs, and nucleic acid amplification assay is more sensitive than rapid antigen assay.

Objective To investigate whether Bw4 motif expressed on HLA-B affects Gag-specific T cell responses in patients with acute HIV-1 infection.Methods Sequence specific primer polymerase chain reaction ( SSP-PCR) was performed for human leukocyte antigen ( HLA) typing.Peripheral blood mononuclear cells ( PBMCs) from 36 patients with six months of acute HIV-1 infection were stimulated with HIV-1 CRF01_A/E Gag peptides to detect the HIV-1 specific T cell responses by using ELISPOT assay. Results (1) The set point viral load of 18 patients carrying no Bw4 motif on HLA-B was 4.49±0.56 which was higher than that in other 18 patients carrying 1-2 Bw4 motif(s) on HLA-B (3.78±0.75) (P=0.005). (2) T cells from 26 out of 36 patients with acute HIV-1 infection responded to P24 peptides pool including 15 patients carrying no Bw4 motif on HLA-B and 11 patients carrying 1-2 Bw4 motif( s) on HLA-B, but no significant difference was observed between them (P>0.05).The magnitude of P24-specific T cell responses induced in patients carrying no Bw4 motif on HLA-B was (1317.8 ±1238.0) SFC/106 PBMCs which was greater than that induced in patients carrying 1-2 Bw4 motif(s) on HLA-B [(549.9±778.5) SFC/106 PBMCs] ( P=0.032) .The breadth of T cell responses to P24 peptides was 2(0-5) in patients carrying no Bw4 motif on HLA-B which was broader than that of patients carrying 1-2 Bw4 motif(s) on HLA-B [1(0-4)] (P=0.080).(3) The viral loads of HIV-1 infected patients carrying no Bw4 motif on HLA-B were negatively correlated with the magnitude of P24-specific T cell responses (rs=-0.482, P=0.043) and the breadth of responses to P24 peptides (rs=-0.496, P=0.036).No correlations were observed between viral loads and the magnitude or breadth of P24-specific T cell responses in HIV-1 infected patients carrying 1-2 Bw4 motif(s) on HLA-B.Conclusion Compared with HIV-1 infected patients carrying no Bw4 motif on HLA-B, the patients carrying 1-2 Bw4 motif( s) on HLA-B showed lower levels of set point viral load, weak-ened magnitude of P24-specific T cell responses and narrowed breadth of responses to P24 peptides.
