Objective To establish RT-PCR-RFLP method for studying the genotype of wild mea-sles virus strains isolated from Tianjin area from 2002 to 2008. Methods Isolations of measles virus were carried out by tissue culture method from urine and throat swab specimens collected from suspected cases. RNA were extracted from the virus specimens. The 594 bp fragment of C terminal of the N (nucleoprotein) gene was amplified by one-step RT-PCR, then the PCR products were digested with Bcn I , separated on agarose gel electrophoresis and then analyzed by the method of RFLP (restriction fragment length polymor-phism). In addition, above results were compared with DNA sequencing. Phylogenetic tree was plotted based on the results for the genetic relationship and distance analysis. Results Sixty-nine measles virus strains were isolated from 189 specimens from 2002 to 2008, of which the C terminals of N gene were all de-tected positive. Among the 69 strains of measles virus isolates, 98.55% (68/69) belonged to Hla sub-geno-type which was the predominant sub-genotype, and only one strain (1.45%) belonged to H1b sub-genotype by RFLP analysis which was in accordance with the results by DNA sequencing method. Phylogenetic tree analysis indicated the H1a sub-genotype measles virus strains should be further divided into 2 clades, and the variation fluctuated between 0.2% and 3.8%. There were transmission chains caused by different virus strains co-cireulation. Conclusion A genotype, H1a and H1b sub-genotype can be identified by RT-PCR-RFLP assay specically based on the restriction enzyme Bcn I .The RT-PCR-RFLP assay can be a rapid, simple, accurate and efficient method for large-scale surveillance of measles virus strains in China.

Objective:To study the signal enhancement of lung adenocarcinoma nude mice after injection of immunomagnetic bead solution (magnetic beads conjugated with monoclonal antibody NJ001) in micro-CT scan. Methods:The models of lung adenocarcino-ma nude mice were established by injecting SPC-A1-luc cells through the tail vein and were validated by bioluminescence imaging (BLI). The nude mice were divided into three groups: physiological saline group, bare magnetic bead group, and immunomagnetic bead group. Three groups of nude mice were injected with physiological saline, 750 nm bare magnetic bead solution, and immuno-magnetic bead solution via the tail vein every week, and micro-CT scan was taken before and 4 h after injection. Immunohistochemis-try (IHC) was used to detect the expression of antigen SP70 in tumor tissues. Results:The tumor was detected in the immunomagnetic bead group at the fourth week, whereas in the physiological saline and bare magnetic bead groups, the tumor was undetectable until the sixth week. The tumor intensities detected at the sixth week by micro-CT scan in the physiological saline, bare magnetic bead, and immunomagnetic bead groups were 59.05 ± 0.66, 60.69 ± 0.55, and 58.25 ± 0.32 before injection and 60.30 ± 1.83, 61.05 ± 0.68, and 67.41±3.82 after injection, respectively. Compared with the tumor intensities before injection, they significantly increased after injec-tion in the immunomagnetic bead group;the difference was statistically significant (P=0.0079). By contrast, no statistical significance was observed in the tumor intensities before and after injection in the physiological saline and bare magnetic bead groups (P=0.1867 and P=0.3839, respectively). Conclusion:The immunomagnetic beads had enhanced effect on micro-CT scan of lung adenocarcinoma nude mouse models.

Objective:To assess the application of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) regional treatment pattern in patients with severe cardiopulmonary diseases.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted. Patients with severe cardiopulmonary disease who were transferred to Henan Provincial People's Hospital after ECMO treatment in cooperative hospitals were selected. The patients who received regular ECMO treatment from June 2017 to May 2018 were enrolled as the control group, and the patients who received ECMO regional treatment from June 2018 to May 2019 were selected as the observation group. The ECMO regional treatment pattern referred to implement a referral program for critical patients in primary hospitals, which mainly included the establishment of ECMO regional cooperative treatment network and ECMO referral team, the formulation of ECMO referral management standards, and the promotion of the merging of high-quality medical resources. Time of establishment of ECMO, ECMO regional treatment satisfaction, and the incidence of adverse events were also compared.Results:There were 27 patients enrolled in the control group and 64 patients in the observation group. There were no significant differences in gender, age, body mass index (BMI), ECMO mode, hypertension or coronary heart disease history between the two groups. Compared with the control group, the time for establishment of ECMO in the observation group was significantly shorter (minutes: 38.10±17.19 vs. 54.67±41.30, t = 2.715, P = 0.008), the ECMO treatment satisfaction of the observation group was also significantly higher than that of the control group (98.4% vs. 88.9%, χ 2 = 4.120, P = 0.042), and the incidence of ECMO referral adverse events was significantly lower than that of the control group (6.25% vs. 25.93%, χ 2 = 6.918, P = 0.009). Conclusion:The ECMO regional collaborative pattern in patients with severe cardiopulmonary diseases can shorten the time for establishment of ECMO, improve the satisfaction of ECMO treatment, and reduce the incidence of adverse events in ECMO referral.

Objective:To investigate urinary microalbumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) and α1-microglobulin to creatinine ratio (MCR) of people aged 40 years old and above in Shanxi province, and analyze the influencing factors of abnormal ACR and MCR, and to provide evidence for the prevention and control of chronic kidney diseases.Methods:It was a cross-sectional study. The data came from a screening study of chronic kidney diseases conducted by Shanxi Provincial People's Hospital from April to November 2019, involving aged 40 years old and above from 10 counties (Ningwu county, Yu county, Yangqu county, Lin county, Shouyang county, Zezhou county, Huozhou city, Hejin city, Linyi county and Ruicheng county) in Shanxi province. The related data were collected through questionnaire surveys, physical examinations, and blood and urine sample collection. Urinary α1-microglobulin, creatinine, and microalbuminuria were measured. Urinary ACR and MCR were calculated using urinary creatinine correction. ACR abnormality was defined as ≥30 mg/g, and MCR abnormality was defined as >23 mg/g. Covariate analysis was used to control confounding factors, and adjusted urinary ACR and MCR of 10 counties were calculated. Spearman correlation analysis and chi-square test were performed to analyze the factors associated with abnormal urinary ACR and MCR. Logistic regression analysis model was used to identify the influencing factors of abnormal urinary ACR and MCR.Results:A total of 12 285 residents were enrolled in the study, including 5 206 males (42.4%) and 7 079 females (57.6%). The median age was 58.0 (51.0, 66.0) years old. The median urinary ACR was 7.5 (4.5, 15.7) mg/g, and the median urinary MCR was 10.2 (6.4, 16.2) mg/g. A total of 1 572 individuals (12.80%) had urinary ACR abnormality and 1 450 individuals (11.80%) had urinary MCR abnormality. Yangqu county, Yuxian county, and Ningwu county had higher urinary ACR with (35.58±3.04) mg/g, (34.08±4.50) mg/g and (32.09±3.19) mg/g, respectively. The urinary MCR was generally similar among the 10 counties and Yangqu county had higher urinary MCR with (13.86±0.41) mg/g. In addition to Yu county, female individuals had higher urinary ACR compared to males in other counties, whereas female individuals had lower urinary MCR compared to males in 10 counties. Multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that elevated triglyceride, fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, age, body mass index and gender were independent influencing factors of abnormal urinary ACR and MCR (all P<0.05). Elevated blood homocysteine and low educational level were independent influencing factors of urinary MCR abnormality (both P<0.05). Conclusions:There are differences of gender and region in urinary ACR and MCR among individuals aged 40 years old and above in the 10 counties of Shanxi province. Triglyceride, fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, age, gender, and body mass index are independent related factors of abnormal urinary ACR and MCR. Blood homocysteine and education level are independent related factors of abnormal urinary MCR.
