Objective:To analyze the genetic evolution characteristics of hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) of influenza B virus in Tongling during 2019-2022 surveillance years.Methods:Twenty-two strains of Victoria influenza B virus isolated from our laboratory during 2019-2022 were selected for whole genome sequencing. The sequence comparison and phylogenetic analysis were conducted by using bioinformatic analysis software.Results:During 2019-2022, seasonal influenza in Tongling City was predominantly caused by influenza B Victoria lineage viruses, which fell within the V1A.3 branch. Among these, 14 strains isolated in the 2021-2022 season were further classified into the V1A.3a.2 sub-branch. Compared with vaccine strains, multiple amino acid mutation sites were detected in both HA and NA proteins of the 22 influenza B Victoria lineage viruses. Notably, all four major antigenic sites (120-loop, 150-loop, 160-helix, and 190-helix regions) in the HA protein exhibited variations. Although no mutations were detected at resistance sites on the NA protein, a change occurred in the glycosylation site at position 197 NETQ in the HA protein.Conclusions:The main amino acid sites of the HA protein of the influenza B Victoria lineage viruses in Tongling City from 2019 to 2022 have undergone significant variation, which may lead to antigenic drift. Therefore, it is essential to strengthen the monitoring of influenza virus mutations.

Objective:To compare the predictive values of Bologna Outcome Algorithm for Stroke (BOAS) , Acute Stroke Registry and Analysis of Lausanne (ASTRAL) and Preadmission Comorbidities, Level of Consciousness, Age, and Focal Neurologic Deficit (PLAN) for stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) and prognosis in elderly stroke patients in ICU.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 198 elderly stroke patients who were hospitalized in ICU of Neurology Department of Henan Provincial People's Hospital were selected as the research objects from June 2017 to December 2019. According to whether SAP occurred within 4 weeks, patients were divided into SAP group, non-SAP group, severe SAP subgroup and mild SAP subgroup. According to the outcome within 4 weeks, they are divided into the poor prognosis group and the good prognosis group. The differences of BOAS, ASTRAL and PLAN scores among different groups were recorded and compared. ROC curve was used to analyze and compare the predictive performance of the three scales for SAP and its prognosis.Results:Pairwise positive correlation was found between BOAS, ASTRAL and PLAN scores ( P<0.05) . All the three scores of patients in SAP group were significantly higher than those in the non-SAP group, and ASTRAL and PLAN scores in severe SAP subgroup were higher than those in mild SAP subgroup, and the differences were significant ( P<0.05) . The area under ROC curve ( AUC) of BOAS, ASTRAL and PLAN scores were respectively 0.610, 0.692 and 0.705, and the AUC for predicting severe SAP were respectively 0.613, 0.661 and 0.709. In the SAP group and the non-SAP group, the scores of three scales of patients in the poor prognosis group were higher than those in the good prognosis group, and the differences were significant ( P<0.05) . The AUC of BOAS, ASTRAL and PLAN scores in the SAP group for predicting poor prognosis were respectively 0.736, 0.757 and 0.716, and AUC in the non-SAP group were respectively 0.699, 0.731 and 0.631. Conclusions:BOAS, ASTRAL and PLAN scores have certain predictive value for the SAP and prognosis of elderly patients in ICU. Among them, PLAN score has better predictive performance for SAP and ASTRAL has better predictive performance for prognosis.

Objective:To explore the effects of the transtheoretical model (TTM) -based intervention in patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) .Methods:Totally 146 patients who were scheduled to undergo CAG at Fuwai Central China Cardiovascular Hospital from May 2021 to May 2022 were selected by convenience sampling. Patients admitted from May to November 2021 were assigned to the control group ( n=73), and those admitted from December 2021 to May 2022 were assigned to the observation group ( n=73). The control group received routine care, while the observation group received TTM-based intervention. The effects of the intervention were evaluated using the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), and a self-designed CAG compliance assessment form. Results:After the intervention, SAS and SDS scores decreased in both groups, with the observation group scoring significantly lower than the control group ( P< 0.05). The CAG compliance in the observation group was also significantly higher than that in the control group ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The TTM-based intervention can improve the psychological state of CAG patients and enhance their compliance with CAG procedures.
