Objective To analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of an outbreak of tsutsugamushi disease in Fuyang City of Anhui Province.Methods Epidemiological information was collected by case investigation questionnaire of tsutsugamushi disease.Diagnosis was determined by the detection of OXK antigen by Weil-Felix test.Results Seventy-eight cases with tsutsugamushi disease were discovered in the outbreak.All the patients had an experience of working in this area before the starting of symptoms.The clinical features of the patients were fever,headache,skin eschar,tetter and lymphadenectasis.No severe complications occurred in each patient.All the patients recovered after getting deoxycycline.Conclusions This was the first report for the tsutsugamushi disease occurred in Fuyang City of Anhui Province.And the declaration for the new happened tsutsugamushi disease would provide strong support evidence for the prevention and control of this event and ensure the safety for working in this area.Also the deoxycycline was very effective for the treatment of tsutsugamushi disease.

Objective:
To explore the effect of social support and rumination on posttraumatic growth of patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Methods:
A total of 1 152 patients with HIV from Shanghai Public Clinical Center were investigated using General questionnaire, Perceived Social Support Scale, Event Related Rumination Inventory and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory by cross-sectional survey method from January 2018 to October 2018. The path of social support and rumination on post-traumatic growth was established by correlation analysis and structural equation model.
Results:
The total score of posttraumatic growth in patients with HIV was (47.93±23.55) points, which was at the low-middle level. Correlation analysis showed that posttraumatic growth was positively correlated with comprehension of social support (

Objective:To sort out the situation of disaster related projects in national social science projects in recent 10 years and discuss hot spots and front direction of disaster nursing research.Methods:relevant fund information of disaster research in the national social science foundation and the humanities and social science research foundation of the ministry of education from 2009 to 2019 was analyzed by keyword clustering.Results:A total of 648 fund information was retrieved. Four research hots pots in recent 10 years were obtained: disaster risk prediction mechanism, multi-organization disaster response management, logistics optimization model, disaster public opinion and information dissemination.Conclusion:The development of nursing is inseparable from technology and information. Nursing should cooperate with other disciplines and organizations to form a nursing emergency system.

OBJECTIVETo study the application of serodiagnosis of human bocavirus (HBoV) lower respiratory tract infection in children.
METHODFrom January to April, 2013, samples including serum, sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALFs) were obtained from 714 children hospitalized with ALRI. Serums were tested for HBoV-specific IgG and IgM antibodies by ELISA and all kinds of samples were tested for HBoV DNA by quantitative real-time fluorescent PCR. The results of HBoV serologic tests, viral DNA in sputum and their combination were compared with those of HBoV DNA in serums and/or BALFs, which was considered as the "standard". Their consistence and differences were evaluated, and the diagnostic parameters including sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, consistency rate, Kappa value and J value were calculated. Age distributions of the HBoV positive patients tested by the latter two methods were also compared.
RESULTThe positive rate of HBoV serology was 13.2% (94/714) . The results of HBoV serology, its DNA in sputum and their combination were all consistent with those of HBoV DNA in serums and/or BALFs (χ(2) = 91.834, 124.662, 138.643, P < 0.001 for all comparisons) . Differences were significant by McNemar test (χ(2) = 23.547, 33.440, 12.410, P all <0.001) . All the diagnostic parameters for single HBoV serologic test or single viral DNA test in sputa were approximate. However, they were improved to 70.4%, 94.8%, 38.0%, 98.6%, 93.7%, 0.463(P < 0.001), 0.65 for sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, consistency rate, Kappa value and J value, respectively, when the methods were combined. HBoV was found positive mainly in children under 3 years of age, especially in the 1 year group. The positive rates were the highest in both group -1 year, and group -3 years was the next. However, the rate was the lowest in group >3 years and in the group -6 months.
CONCLUSIONDiagnostic power can be improved and age distribution can be demonstrated when serologic tests were combined with traditional sputum DNA detection in children with HBoV lower respiratory tract infection.
