OBJECTIVETo describe and evaluate a double-antigen sandwich ELISA for detecting human immunodeficiency virus type 1/2 (HIV-1/2) specific antibodies.

METHODSThe peptides gp41.1(sp1), gp41.2(sp2), gp120(sp3) and p24(sp4) of HIV-1 and gp36(sp5) of HIV-2 were artificially synthesized. Then sp1, sp3, sp4 and sp5 were used as coating antigens; sp1, sp2, sp4 and sp5 labeled with HRP were used as conjugates in this sandwich ELISA.

RESULTSThe specificity and sensitivity of the assay were both 100% in detecting anti-HIV of 40 control sera of the second generation panel, higher than indirect ELISA (specificity 90% and sensitivity, 65%, respectively). All of 210 sera from individuals with other diseases were negative for anti-HIV. The consistency rate was 100% when our sandwich ELISA and Abbott HIVAB were used to detect anti-HIV in 90 healthy blood donors and 88 HIV infected individuals.

CONCLUSIONSThe results showed that this sandwich ELISA for detection of anti-HIV is specific, sensitive and convenient, and it is suitable for screening blood donors and detecting HIV infection.

Objective To determine whether rizatriptan has an effect on cortical spreading depression (CSD) and c-Fos expression within periaqueductal grey (PAG) induced by CSD in rats. Methods The experimental SD rats were randomly divided into group A injected with KCl, group B KCl plus rizatriptan and group C NaCL The number and amplitude of CSD were recorded after KCl or NaCl injection. C-Fos positive neurons of different layer were identified by the immunohistochemical technique 2 hours after the first injection of KCl or NaCl. Results There was no CSD in group C. The number of CSD in group A ( 10.70±3.23 ) was significantly more than that in group B (6.10±2.56, t = - 3.528, P < 0.01 ). The amplitude of CSD in group A ( 17.33 (95% CI 11.45--23.11 ) mV) was significantly greater than that in group B (11.82 (95%CI 9.24--14.70) mV, Z= -4.360, P< 0.01). There were more cFos-like immnoreactive neurons in every layer in group A than in group C (P < 0.01 ) and in group B (P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Rizatriptan has an inhibitory effect on CSD, which might induce the headache through exciting the neurons in PAG.

Objective:To investigate the effect of temozolomide on autophagy of human glioma cells, and the inhibition of autophagy induced pyrocytosis on the proliferation of human glioma cells.Methods:2-64 μ mol/L of temozolomide was used to treat glioma U251 cells cultured in vitro. MTT assay was used to detect cell viability, MDC staining was used to detect autophagic vesicles in cells, cloning assay was used to detect cell proliferation, RT qPCR was used to detect the expression level of pyroptosis related mRNA in cells, Western blot was used to detect the expression of autophagy related proteins and pyroptosis related proteins in cells, and the relationship between autophagy and pyroptosis was detected by adding autophagy inhibitors.Results:Temozolamide could induce autophagy of human glioma cells, and significantly induce tumor cells to pyroptosis, thereby inhibiting the proliferation of tumor cells; RT qPCR results showed that caspase-1, GSDMD, IL-1 after temozolomide administration compared with the normal group β, the mRNA expression levels of IL-18 and NLRP3 increased significantly; Western blot results showed that Cleaved-caspase-1, Cleaved-N-terminalGSDMD, IL-1 β、IL-18 and NLRP3 protein were up-regulated; The incidence of pyroptosis decreased after the addition of autophagy inhibitors.Conclusion:Temozolamide can induce autophagy of human glioma cells, and then lead to pyroptosis, which plays an inhibitory role in proliferation.

Objective:To investigate the situation related to HIV infection and influencing factors of traceability efficiency among sex partners of HIV positive men who have sex with men (MSM).Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted to investigate the traceability among sex partners of HIV-positive MSM in Ningbo from 2018 to 2020. Limiting-antigen avidity enzyme immunoassay determined recent HIV infection. The classified data was evaluated by chi-square test, and factors of traceability efficiency were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression.Results:A total of 374 newly confirmed HIV-positive MSM were recruited to participate in the HIV test in Ningbo from 2018 to 2020.HIV positive rate of sex partner was 15.7% (75/479,95% CI:12.4%-18.9%). HIV positive rates of sex partner of recent HIV infection MSM was 31.8% (21/66,95% CI:20.3%-43.4%). The proportion of newly confirmed HIV-positive sex partners of recent HIV infection MSM (76.2%) was higher than that of long-term HIV infection MSM (48.1%). The difference was statistically significant ( P=0.028). Results from the multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that HIV traceability efficiency was higher in the following subpopulations as; HIV positive MSM who were 36-45 years old (compared with 18-25 years old, OR=3.973,95% CI:1.364-11.569), HIV active detection (compared with HIV passive detection, OR=1.896, 95% CI:1.083-3.319), recent HIV infection MSM (compared with long-term HIV infection MSM, OR=3.733, 95% CI:1.844-7.556). Conclusions:HIV positive rate among partners of HIV positive MSM was very high. The traceability efficiency, which was recent HIV infection MSM and HIV active detection, was high. It is suggested to strengthen the traceability and focus on the newly confirmed HIV-positive MSM in VCT clinics.

Objective:To identify the characteristics and influencing factors of local HIV infection among newly confirmed cases in Ningbo from 2017 to 2020 to provide evidence for traceability investigations on critical cases and facilitate the detection procedures and reduce new HIV infection.Methods:From January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2020, the newly confirmed HIV/AIDS in Ningbo were recruited. An epidemiological questionnaire was used to collect relevant information, including demography, sexual behaviors, results of HIV antibody tests, and the route of HIV transmission. According to the HIV testing, history of risk behaviors, and the level of CD4 + lymphocytes after confirmation, the HIV infection was acquired in the previous year, or the place was in Ningbo. The EpiData 3.1 and SPSS 23.0 software were used for input, sorting database and statistical analysis. Results:A total of 2 044 HIV/AIDS on-site investigations were completed. The average age of the subjects was (40.6±15.3) years old, including 1 684 males (82.4%), 758 unmarrieds (37.1%), 1 072 (52.5%) registered as permanent residents in Ningbo, 1 253 (61.3%) with junior high school education or below, 979 (47.9%) lived in Ningbo for more than five years. The proportion of local, new HIV infections was 34.34% (702/2 044). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that the proportion of local newly HIV infection was higher among those who were confirmed in 2020 (compared with the 2017 confirmed cases, OR=1.422, 95% CI:1.092-1.851), whose occupations were students/teachers/cadres/retirees (compared to commercial service/catering/public place service personnel, OR=1.682, 95% CI: 1.307-2.165), meeting sex partners via male social software locally in the last year (compared with without using related dating software, OR=1.353, 95% CI: 1.073-1.706). Conclusions:The proportion of local HIV infection of newly confirmed HIV/AIDS was relatively high in Ningbo city from 2017 to 2020. Meeting gay sex partners through local male social software appeared a risk factor for local newly HIV infection. Traceability investigations and internet intervention should be carried out for MSM. While male social software should be focused on identifying and controlling the risk of local newly HIV infection.

Objective: To investigate the incidence and pathogen distribution of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) among preterm infants admitted to level Ⅲ neonatal intensive care units (NICU) in China. Method: A prospective study was conducted in 25 level Ⅲ NICU, enrolling all preterm infants <34 weeks gestational age admitted to the participating NICU within the first 7 days of life from May 2015 to April 2016. Chi-square test, t test and Mann-Whitney U test were used for statistical analysis. Result: A total of 7 918 patients were enrolled, within whom 4 623(58.4%) were males. The birth weight was (1 639±415) g and the gestational age was (31.4±2.0) weeks; 4 654(58.8%) infants required non-invasive mechanical ventilation and 2 154(27.2%) required intubation. Of all the mechanically ventilated patients, VAP occurred in 95 patients. The overall VAP rate was 7.0 episodes per 1 000 ventilator days, varying from 0 to 34.4 episodes per 1 000 ventilator days in different centers. The incidence of VAP was 9.6 and 6.0 per 1 000 ventilator days in children′s hospitals and maternity-infant hospitals respectively, without significant differences (t=1.002, P=0.327). Gram-negative bacilli (76 strains, 91.6%) were the primary VAP microorganisms, mainly Acinetobacter baumannii (24 strains, 28.9%), Klebsiella pneumonia (23 strains, 27.7%), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (10 strains, 12.0%). Conclusion The incidence of VAP in China is similar to that in developed counties, with substantial variability in different NICU settings. More efforts are needed to monitor and evaluate the preventable factors associated with VAP and conduct interventions that could effectively reduce the occurrence of VAP.
