With the developing of the immunology,genetic diagnosis, and flow cytometry technology, the diagnosis of neonatal infectious diseases have been a lot of new improvement.Serum amyloid protein A,interferon-gamma-inducible protein 10 and triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 may be valuable in neonatal infectious diseases. Detection of the bacterial genes by gene chip hybridization technology can diagnose neonatal septicemia rapidly. Each of the diagnosis indicators for infection has their respective clinical and laboratory features. The comprehensive understanding of the biological characteristics,sensitivity,specificity of each indicator, and continuous and joint monitoring of several indicators can improve the diagnostic sensitivity and negative predictive value. It is the direction of infectious diseases diagnosis in future.This paper reviews the current diagnostic indicators for neonatal infectious disease.

BACKGROUND:LL37, the only antimicrobial peptide of the cathelicidin family identified from the human, not only promotes the proliferation of endothelial cel s, but also plays an important role in angiogenesis and re-epithelialization.
OBJECTIVE:To construct a recombinant adenovirus overexpressing human antimicrobial peptide LL37 gene, and to detect the expression and secretion of LL37 after transfected into the canine vaginal epithelial cells.
METHODS:The cDNA encoding LL37 was amplified by PCR. Recombinant adenovirus expression plasmid encoding LL37 and green fluorescent protein (EGFP) was constructed, and identified using restriction endonuclease technology and DNA sequencing method. Adenovirus particles were generated by cotransfecting the 293-packaging cel line. The adenovirus were col ected, amplified and concentrated, and viral titers were determined by end-point dilution assay by applying serial dilutions of the purified viruses to 293 cel s. Primary cultured canine vaginal epithelial cel s were transfected by the recombinant adenovirus. The transfection efficacy was observed by fluorescence microscope, and the cultured supernatant was col ected to determine the expression of LL37 by ELISA method at 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 days after transfection.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The adenovirus vector GV314-LL37 with the titer of 3×109 pfu/mL was successful y constructed and identified by DNA sequencing methods. Canine vaginal epithelial cel s were successful y isolated and cultured and grew stably. After transfection, vaginal epithelial cel s could express the EGFP and LL37 efficiently in a time-dependent manner detected by fluorescence microscope and ELISA method. The transfection efficacy of EGFP reached to 89%at 72 hours. The level of LL37 in the cel culture supernatant in the transfection group was significantly higher than that in the control group, the highest expression of LL37 was found at 3 days that lasting for 7 days. In conclusion, the recombinant adenovirus overexpressing human antimicrobial peptide LL37 gene is successful y constructed, which can express and secrete LL37 after transfected into canine vaginal epithelial cel s, providing a foundation for constructing the tissue-engineered vagina possessing anti-infection and neovascularization.

Objective :
To analyze the prevalence and influencing factors of leprosy reactions in Zhejiang Province from 2010 to 2019, so as to provide reference for the control of leprosy.
Methods:
Through the national leprosy management system, the new leprosy cases in Zhejiang Province from 2010 to 2019 were recruited to analyze the incidence of leprosy reactions in different demographic characteristics and leprosy clinical features. The multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the influencing factors for leprosy reactions.
Results :
Totally 191 leprosy cases were investigated. The incidence rate of leprosy reactions was 29.32%; the the incidence rate of typeⅠand type Ⅱreaction was 16.75% and 9.42%, respectively. There were 33 leprosy reaction cases (58.93%) before multidrug therapy (MDT) , 13 cases (23.21%) during 0-6 months of MDT, 5 cases (8.93%) during 7-12 months of MDT, 3 cases (5.36%) during over 12 months of MDT, and 2 cases (3.57%) after MDT. The results of the multivariate logistic analysis showed that the cases who were 35 years old or below (OR=2.245, 95%CI: 1.006-5.008) , were not floating population (OR=3.442, 95%CI: 1.394-8.494) , were infected outside family (OR=3.878, 95%CI: 1.075-13.993) and were smear positive (>0+,OR=4.514, 95%CI: 1.365-14.926; >3+,OR=4.727, 95%CI: 1.443-15.485) were risk factors for leprosy reactions.
Conclusions
The prevalence of leprosy reactions is high in Zhejiang Province from 2010 to 2019, and is associated with age, floating population, source of infection and BI.

Objective:
To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in Zhejiang Province from 2018 to 2022, so as to provide insights into improving STDs prevention and control strategies.
Methods:
Data of syphilis, gonorrhea, condyloma acuminatum, genital herpes and genital Chlamydia trachomatis infections reported in Zhejiang Province from 2018 to 2022 were collected from the Infectious Disease Surveillance System of Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The temporal, spatial and population distribution of STDs were analyzed, and the trends in incidence of STDs were evaluated using annual percent change (APC).
Results:
A total of 386 770 STDs cases were reported in Zhejiang Province from 2018 to 2022, with mean annual reported incidence of 127.80/105. The mean annual reported incidence from high to low was syphilis (44.11/105), genital Chlamydia trachomatis infections (40.20/105), gonorrhea (24.92/105), condyloma acuminatum (13.32/105), and genital herpes (5.34/105). The incidence of STDs appeared a tendency towards a decline from 2018 to 2022 (APC=-9.332%, P<0.05), with an average annual growth rate of -9.41%. Syphilis (APC=-11.536%, P<0.05), condyloma acuminatum (APC=-7.509%, P<0.05), and genital Chlamydia trachomatis infections (APC=-9.009%, P<0.05) showed a appeared a tendency towards a decline. The top three highest reported incidence were reported in Hangzhou City (185.98/105), Taizhou City (133.85/105) and Lishui City (122.73/105), respectively. The mean annual reported incidence of females was higher than that of males (140.60/105 vs. 117.83/105; P<0.05). Most STDs cases were at ages of 20 to 49 years (265 314 cases, 68.60%). Farmers (118 096 cases, 30.53%), household and unemployed personnel (85 924 cases, 22.22%) were the predominant occupation.
Conclusions
The incidence of STDs appeared a tendency towards a decline in Zhejiang Province from 2018 to 2022, with regional differences in incidence. People at ages of 20 to 49 years, farmers, household and unemployed personnel are high-risk populations for STDs.

Objective To screen permethrin human single-chain variable region (scFv) antibody for aims of developing rapid detection kit. Methods Phage display technology was used in this study. Permethrin was solid phase coated on Nunc plate as antigen. Semi-synthetic single-chain variable region of human antibody library technology was applied, and single chain variable region was screened from phage antibody library after 3 rounds "adsorption - elution - amplification" of the selection process. 100 clones were random selected as resistance to permethrin clones , enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), crossreactivity and competitive inhibition experiments were used to validate permethrin binding activity with strong scFv clones from the selected phage antibody clones plasmid. The plasmid was digested with restriction enzyme Sfi Ⅰ / Not Ⅰ and subcloned into pCANTAB5E vector. After transformed into E. coli XL1BIue, the plasmid was identified by restriction enzyme analysis. Results After screening in 100 clones, 18 clones had high ELISA absorbance values ( A value) at 490nm wavelength ( A490nm), then bovine serum albumin (BSA) cross-reactions identified five weak cross-reaction. Combined with the triplicate ELISA and competitive inhibition experiment results, one positive clone was acquired at last. And this clone was subcloned into pCANTAB5E vector and transformed into competent cells XL1-Blue. Conclusion Plasmid fragment was consistent with the purpose, which provided the foundation for further study of its specific affinity.
