Objective To validate a cell infection-based quantitative RT-PCR for evaluating the potency of rotavirus vaccine. Methods According to the ICH ( the International Council for Harmonization) Harmonised Tripartite Guideline, the method was validated for its specificity, accuracy, precision, linearity and robustness. Results The method had good specificity as it could only amplify and detect the corre-sponding type of rotavirus strain. The recovery rates for determining the potency against rotaviruses of G2, G3 and G4 types were 97％ to 108％. The percent coefficient of variation ( CV) of both intra-plate and in-ter-plate precision was≤2. 62％, while the intraday and interday CV was≤1. 76％ and≤2. 27％, respec-tively. The CV between the two experimenters was≤7. 68％. The linearity range of the method was 4. 4-6. 5 UI for G2 type rotavirus, 3. 9-8. 3 UI for G3 type and 3. 5-8. 1 UI for G4 type. Good robustness was observed using the cells of 140 to 160 generations. Conclusions The cell infection-based quantitative RT-PCR was shown to have satisfactory specificity, accuracy, precision, linearity and robustness, suggesting that it was a suitable method for evaluating the potency of multivalent rotavirus live vaccines.

Klebsiella pneumoniae(KPn),as a conditioned pathogen that causes calf pneumonia,has caused serious harm to cattle industry,but the harm of Klebsiella pneumoniae to calves in Xin-jiang region is still unclear.In this study,to investigate the prevalence of KPn,its harm and some biological characteristics of pneumonia calves in Xinjiang,nasal swabs of pneumonia calves in some areas were collected aseptically,KPn isolation and identification were performed by routine meth-od,and 16S rDNA sequence evolutionary tree analysis was performed.The drug resistance was de-tected by K-B method,and a strain carrying multiple virulence was selected for mice median lethal dose test.The serotype,virulence gene and drug resistance gene of the strain were detected by PCR.The results showed that the detection rate of Klebsiella pneumoniae in nasal swabs of 218 pneumonia calves from Aksu,Changji and Yili regions of Xinjiang was as follows:14.68％(32/218),including 28.33％(17/60)in Aksu Prefecture,24.00％(6/25)in Changji Prefecture and 6.77％(9/133)in Yili Prefecture,they were divided into two serotypes,namely K1(7/32)and K5(5/32).A total of 13 KPn virulence genes were detected,mainly mrkD,ureA,wabG,uge and en-tB.LD50 was 2.38X 107cfu/mL.Drug susceptibility test and drug resistance gene detection showed that the isolated strain showed multiple drug resistance,and the resistance genes mainly carried blasHv and floR.16S rDNA sequence evolutionary tree results showed that the isolated strain had high homology with the isolates from Italy,Beijing and Shanghai of China.The detection rate of KPn in nasal swabs of pneumonia calves in Xinjiang region is high.The dominant serotypes are K1 and K5.The isolates carry a variety of virulence genes and have strong virulence.All of them are KPn strains producing ESBLs,suggesting that Klebsiella pneumoniae in Xinjiang region of China have a certain potential harm to calves.

Objective: To analyze the correlation between circumcision and incidence and clearance of male genital HPV infection. Methods: From May to July 2014, 18-55 year old men who had sexual behavior history were recruited from the general population in Liuzhou, Guangxi to set up a cohort. Totally, 113 circumcised and 560 uncircumcised men were enrolled and interviewed using a questionnaire (including information on demographic characteristics and sexual behaviors), then they were followed-up with 6-month interval for 2 times. On each visit, specimens of male external genitalia were collected and genotyped for HPV DNA. The differences of incidence and clearance of genital HPV infections between circumcised and uncircumcised men were analyzed by Log-rank test. Cox regression was used to analyze the relationship between circumcision and incidence and clearance of HPV infection. Results: The median age (P₂₅, P₇₅) of circumcised and uncircumcised men were 28 (24, 35) and 32 (24, 31), respectively. The incidences of any HPV infections were 9.1 (95%CI: 2.4-15.7) and 8.4 (95% CI: 5.6-11.2) per 1 000 person-months (χ²=0.10, P=0.758), respectively. The clearance of circumcised men [136.3 (95%CI: 70.0-202.7) per 1 000 person-months] was higher than that in uncircumcised men [89.6 (95%CI: 65.9-113.3) per 1 000 person-months] (χ²=8.19, P=0.004). In multivariate COX regression analysis, compared with uncircumcised men, circumcised men had higher possibility to clear any HPV infections (HR: 2.41, 95%CI: 1.30-4.46). Compared with men having one sexual partner, people having more than 4 sexual partners had lower possibility to clear any HPV infections (HR: 0.49, 95%CI: 0.25-0.96). Compared with 18-25 years old men, men aged 26-35 years old had higher possibility to clear high-risk HPV infections (HR: 2.14, 95%CI: 1.08-4.23). Conclusion Circumcised and uncircumcised men had similar incidence of genital HPV infection, whereas, men conducted circumcision and having fewer sexual partners could increase the clearance of genital HPV infections.
