Objective:
To investigate the seroprevalence and influencing factors of serum neutralizing antibodies among SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals, so as to provide the evidence for developing the health management and COVID-19 vaccination strategy among SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals.
Methods:
Recovered SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals from January 1st, 2020 to February 10th, 2021 in Zhejiang Province were recruited in March 2021. Participants' demographics, underlying diseases, date of definitive diagnosis and severity of clinical symptoms were collected using questionnaire surveys, and serum neutralizing antibody against SARS-CoV-2 was detected using a fluorescent immunoassay. In addition, factors affecting the seropositivity of neutralizing antibody against SARS-CoV-2 were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 559 SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals were enrolled, including 480 confirmed cases and 79 asymptomatic carriers, with an median (interquartile range) age of 47.00 (22.00) years, and all participants had never received COVID-19 vaccination. The median (interquartile range) duration from diagnosis to serum sampling was 387.00 (11.00) days, and the seroprevalence of neutralizing antibody against SARS-CoV-2 was 83.90%. The serum neutralizing antibody against SARS-CoV-2 was all positive 9 months after diagnosis, and the seroprevalence of neutralizing antibody against SARS-CoV-2 appeared no tendency towards a decline with time within 14 months after diagnosis (P>0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that women were 1.892 times (95%CI: 1.169-3.064) more likely to produce serum neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 than men, and mild, common and severe/critically ill SARS-CoV-2 infected cases were 2.438 (95%CI: 1.305-4.557), 4.481 (95%CI: 2.318-8.663), and 23.525 (95%CI: 2.990-185.068) times more likely to produce serum neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 than asymptomatic carrier, respectively.
Conclusions
The seroprevalence of neutralizing antibody was 100.00% among SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals within 9 months after diagnosis. Individuals' gender and severity of clinical symptoms correlate with the seroprevalence of neutralizing antibody against SARS-CoV-2.

Finding stable expression sites on the chromosomes of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells is an effective method to solve the problem of unstable expression of CHO cells in long-term culture. Our group used lentiviral transfection to integrate the tracer gene (Zsgreen1) into the chromosome of CHO cells and found multiple potential stable expression sites. This study verified the ability of one of the sites located in the 148052-148157 bp region on chromosome NW_003614241.1 to stably express exogenous proteins.The expression of Zsgreen1 gene was first observed, and CRISPR/Cas9 technology was then used to integrate the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene into this site. Three strains of EGFP gene integrated cells were obtained. After 60 generations of suspension culture, the fluorescence intensity of the cells had no significant changes, which proved that this site can stably express the EGFP gene. The same method was used to construct recombinant CHO cell lines expressing the human serum albumin (HSA) gene, and was verified by Western blot that this site could express and secrete HSA. It shows that the above-mentioned sites can be integrated and can stably express exogenous proteins.

Objective:To understand the current situation of postpartum maternal perceived spouse support for breastfeeding, and explore its mediating role in the spouse support for breastfeeding and maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy.Methods:From October 2021 to October 2022, convenience sampling was used to select 602 postpartum women (42 days postpartum) and their spouses who underwent follow-up visits at Obstetric Clinics in four ClassⅢ hospitals in Shanghai as the research subject. A questionnaire survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Partner Breastfeeding Influence Scale (PBIS) , and Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale Short Form (BSES-SF) .Results:The PBIS score of 602 postpartum women was (121.07±25.41) , and the PBIS score of 602 maternal spouses was (134.37±18.94) . Pearson correlation analysis results showed that maternal perceived spouse support has a positive correlation with spouse support ( P<0.01) , and a positive correlation with maternal self-efficacy in breastfeeding ( P<0.01) ; spouse support was positively correlated with maternal self-efficacy in breastfeeding ( P<0.01) . The mediating effect analysis that maternal perceived spouse support played a complete mediating role between spouse support and maternal self-efficacy in breastfeeding. Conclusions:There are both connections and differences between maternal perceived spouse support and spouse support, and the positive promoting effect of spouse support on maternal self-efficacy in breastfeeding can be completely mediated by maternal perception. Medical and nursing staff should pay attention to the assessment of maternal perceived spouse support and guide spouse breastfeeding support behavior based on maternal needs and experiences of spouse support, so as to improve breastfeeding outcomes.

The pure breastfeeding rate in China is relatively low, and excellent father's support can improve the outcome of breastfeeding. The current situation and influencing factors of father's support for breastfeeding at home and abroad are not clear, and the evaluation methods are not yet unified. Starting from the concept of father's support for breastfeeding, this paper introduces the evaluation tools for father's support for breastfeeding according to specific and non-specific classifications, focusing on analyzing and comparing the structure and application status of various tools, so as to provide a basis for finding or constructing evaluation tools suitable for China. At the same time, this paper summarizes the influencing factors of father's support for breastfeeding from four aspects, including father's sociodemographic characteristics, breastfeeding knowledge, attitude towards breastfeeding, and psychological state, providing reference for formulating interventions to improve father's support for breastfeeding and further promote breastfeeding.

Objective:To investigate the epidemiological characteristics for family clusters of COVID-19 in Zhejiang Province.Methods:The data including cases information of asymptomatic infected cases of family clusters of COVID-19 in Zhejiang Province were collected from Public Health Emergencies Reporting System of China Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Calculate the case number of subsequent cases, index cases, asymptomatic infected cases, exposure cases, and then, compute family secondary attack rate (SIR) and serial interval.Results:A total of 389 cases comprised 149 family index cases and 240 subsequent cases. The clinical symptoms between family index cases and subsequent cases (exclude asymptomatic infected cases ) were similar, fever was the most common symptoms in the two groups 115 (77.18%) and 110(48.67%)respectively, the cases with diarrhea symptoms accounted for the least proportion, which were 7 (4.70%) and 6 (2.65%) respectively. The serial interval between the family index cases and the subsequent cases [ M ( P25, P75)] was 4.00 (2.00, 6.00) days. Family secondary attack rate for subsequent cases was 34.43%, subsequent cases aged between 14 and 60 have the highest SIR (43.42%) compared with other two age groups, the difference was statistically ( P<0.001); the family SIR of the spouses of the family index cases is 68.57%, and are higher than that of parents (29.03%), children (25.00%) and other family members (24.21%), the difference was also statistically ( P<0.001). Conclusion:2019 novel coronavirus has shorter serial interval and higher family SIR, the SIR of spouses is higher than other family members.
