Objective To evaluate clinical efficacy and safety of fluvoxamine in the treatment of trichotillomania.Methods 24 outpatients who met the DSM-Ⅳ diagnosis criteria for trichotillomania received fluvoxamine for 12 weeks and 17 tricholillomania outpatients weren't treated with fluvoxamine.Clinical efficacies and adverse reactions were assessed with the spence children's anxiety scale(SCAS),Kovacs children's depression inventory (CDI),clinical global impression(CGI) and treatnent emergent symptom scale(TESS) before treatment and the end of the 4th and 12th week.Results After 4 weeks treatment,the scores of the SCAS (59.75 ± 12.35),CDI (24.95±7.68) and CGI(SI) (3.79±0.93) were lower than those before treatment(71.50±20.65,31.60± 10.40,5.88±0.68 respectively) (P<0.05).After 12 weeks treatment the scores of the SCAS,CDI and CGI (SI) were lower than those after 4 weeks treatment (P<0.05).After 12 weeks treatment the scores of the CGI(GI) (1.54±0.59) were lower than that at the end of 4 weeks treatment (2.96± 0.69) (P< 0.05).Conclusion Fluvoxamine has a good efficacy and higher safety in the treatment of trichotillomania.

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the genital human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in patients from gynecology clinic, and to investigate the association of persistent HPV infection with cervical lesions.
METHODS:
From January, 2009 to December, 2013, clinical data of 16 320 patients in Third Xiangya Hospital were collected. A retrospective analysis was carried out to evaluate the overall prevalence of HPV infection. The prevalence of HPV infection in different ages and subtypes were compared. The prevalence of persistent HPV infection and results of cervical cytology were analyzed.
RESULTS:
The overall HPV prevalence was 26.54%. The lowest overall and high-risk HPV prevalence were found in women at the age of 30-39 years old (P<0.05); the highest ones were found at the age of over 60 years old, with significant difference among the aged groups (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in low-risk HPV prevalence among the aged groups (P=0.693). The clearance rate of HPV was 87.65% one year later. There was no significant difference in high-risk and low-risk HPV infection between the non-persistent positive group and the persistent positive group (P=0.545), but the difference in single and multiple subtypes infection between these 2 groups was significant (P<0.05). In the persistent positive group, the most common genotypes were HPV 16, 52, 58, CP8304, and 33. The incidence of ASC-US, HSIL or SCC was significantly increased in the persistent positive group.
CONCLUSION
Persistent HPV infection mainly consists of multiple and high-risk HPV infection. It is necessary to focus on the prevention of HPV 16, 52 and 58 persistent infection in our region.

As a new CRISPR/Cas-derived genome engineering technology, base editing combines the target specificity of CRISPR/Cas and the catalytic activity of nucleobase deaminase to install point mutations at target loci without generating DSBs, requiring exogenous template, or depending on homologous recombination. Recently, researchers have developed a variety of base editing tools in the important industrial strain Corynebacterium glutamicum, and achieved simultaneous editing of two and three genes. However, the multiplex base editing based on CRISPR/Cas9 is still limited by the complexity of multiple sgRNAs, interference of repeated sequence and difficulty of target loci replacement. In this study, multiplex base editing in C. glutamicum was optimized by the following strategies. Firstly, the multiple sgRNA expression cassettes based on individual promoters/terminators was optimized. The target loci can be introduced and replaced rapidly by using a template plasmid and Golden Gate method, which also avoids the interference of repeated sequence. Although the multiple sgRNAs structure is still complicated, the editing efficiency of this strategy is the highest. Then, the multiple gRNA expression cassettes based on Type Ⅱ CRISPR crRNA arrays and tRNA processing were developed. The two strategies only require one single promoter and terminator, and greatly simplify the structure of the expression cassette. Although the editing efficiency has decreased, both methods are still applicable. Taken together, this study provides a powerful addition to the genome editing toolbox of C. glutamicum and facilitates genetic modification of this strain.

【Objective】 To analyze the HIV-, HCV- and HBV- NAT yield rate in different areas of Henan province, so as to provide the basis for disease prevention and control as well as the establishment of a unified quality control standard for nucleic acid testing(NAT) in the Henan province. 【Methods】 The number and prevalence of NAT yielding samples with isolated infectious virus, namely HIV, HCV and HBV, in 18 blood stations in Henan province from 2017~2019, as well as the trends were analyzed. The NAT quality of each laboratory and each testing system was analyzed according to the ratio of reactive individual donation(ID) results to reactive minipools(MP). 【Results】 The HBV, HCV and HIV ID-NAT yield numbers in 3 501 251 blood donations were HBV 2 606(74/100 000), HCV 21 (0.63/100 000), and HIV 34(1.00/100 000). The HBV ID-NAT yield rate showed an upward trend in the whole province from 2017 to 2019, while the prevalence of HIV and HCV ID-NAT yield didn′t differ significantly during three years. 5 kinds of NAT detection systems were applied in 18 blood centers. among which Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅳ and Ⅴ were triplex detection systems. 2661 ID-reactive samples were implicated in 5 595 MP-reactive samples, with a resolution rate of 47.56%. The resolution rate of triplex NAT system Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅳ and Ⅳ was 39.63%~47.95%, 40.43%~54.36%, 51.61% and 70.00%~45.45%, respectively. An upward trend in triplex NAT resolution rate was observed in 8 laboratories, i. e.B, D, E, F, I, K, L and Q, and an descending trend in A and C. The NAT system Ⅲ, a ID-NAT system, was used only by laboratory C, presenting a NAT-yield rate of 0.19% (282/145 474) and resolution rate of 46.45% (131/282). 【Conclusion】 The majority of NAT-yield of one infectious virus in Henan province is HBV, presenting annual increasing trend. The quality management of NAT laboratories should be strengthened as the divergence was seen in the performance of different NAT laboratories.

【Objective】 To analyze the cause of single-ELISA reactive of four blood screening items in 18 blood stations in Henan, so as to provide the basis for improving the quality of blood screening. 【Methods】 The single-ELISA reactive rate of HBsAg, anti-HCV, HIV Ag/Ab and anti-TP of 18 blood station laboratories in Henan throughout 2019 was calculated, and the causes were analyzed according to different ELISA reagent combinations and gray area settings in each laboratory. 【Results】 The overall single-ELISA reactive rates of HBsAg, anti-HCV, HIV Ag/Ab and anti-TP were 1.740(2 154/1 237 789), 0.564‰(698/1 237 789), 1.421‰(1 759/1 237 789) and 1.561‰(1 932/1 237 789), respectively, showing significant differences by detection items (P <0.05). Person correlation analysis showed that the single-ELISA reactive rate was independent of the gray area settings.but dependent on laboratories and reagent combinations. The single-ELISA reactive rate of HBsAg, anti-HCV, HIV Ag/Ab and anti-TP in D laboratory was the highest and higher than that in other labs using the same reagent.The laboratories with high HBsAg single-ELISA reactive rate were mostly those using a combination of imported reagents and domestic reagents, including the top 6 laboratories. The laboratories with high anti-HCV single-ELISA reactive rate were mostly those using certain domestic reagents. No obvious rules was noticed by single-ELISA reactive for anti-HIV. Laboratories with high anti-TP single-ELISA reactive rate were mostly those using combination 4. 【Conclusion】 The HBsAg single-ELISA reactive rate was the highest in the four blood screening items of blood station laboratories in Henan. The single-ELISA reactive rate is related to the laboratory itself and the reagent manufacturer, suggesting that laboratory quality control should be strengthened and proper reagent combination should be selected to reduce the waste of blood.
