Objective To amplify the nearly-complete sequence of human Bocavirus 1 (HBoV1)and analyze the recombination relationship among HBoV1-4.Methods Five fragments of HBoV1 genome were amplified by PCR from the HBoV1 single positive nasopharyngeal aspirates,then the five fragments were sequenced and analyzed through the blast in nucleotide acid database.The sequence assembly was conducted by DNAMAN,the homogeneous analysis was performed among the HBoV1 sequences that have been published in nucleotide acid database and then created the phylogenetic tree.At last,the recombination relationship was analyzed among HBoV1-4.Results A total 5287 bp length sequence was amplified in this study,which was the nearly-complete sequence of HBoV1 that was named HBoV1-NC.HBoV1-NC had the closest relationship with Chongqing strain,however,had the farthest relationship with Guangzhou strain through the homogeneous analysis.HBoV3 may be a recombinant derived from HBoV1 and HBoV4,HBoV4 may be a recombinant derived from HBoV2 and HBoV3 through recombination analysis of HBoV1-4.Conclusion The nearly-complete sequence HBoV1-NC was amplified in this study and HBoV1-4 had the recombination relationship.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of rotavirus infection and susceptibility to Histo-Blood Group Antigens (HBGAs) in children with diarrhea under 5 years of age in Nanjing.Methods:Stool and corresponding saliva samples were collected from 295 children with acute diarrhea and 150 healthy children. Rotaviruses were detected in stool samples by antigen detection method, and rotavirus positive samples were genotyped by RT-PCR method. HBGA phenotype of saliva samples was determined by anti-tissue blood group monoclonal antibody ELISA method. Rotavirus infection and HBGA susceptibility were analyzed by statistical analysis.Results:In the case group, 139 (47.12%) of 295 samples were rotavirus positive, with G9[P8] genotype being the most common genotype (84.17%, 117/139). The proportion of fever ( χ2=34.81, P<0.001), vomiting ( χ2=25.01, P<0.001) and respiratory symptoms ( χ2=4.73, P=0.03) in rotavirus infected children, which were higher than those in non-rotavirus infected group, and the difference was statistically significant. In the ABO blood group system, type AB children were more likely to have diarrhea (95% CI: 1.029~2.622; P= 0.036), and type B children had a higher risk of rotavirus infection ( OR=1.783, 95% CI: 1.027~3.095, P= 0.039). In the secretory system antigens, secretory children were more prone to diarrhea and rotavirus infection, G9[P8] genotype infection was related to secretory phenotype ( OR=2.854, 95% CI: 1.641~4.962), and non-secretory children ( χ2=5.723, P=0.017) were less susceptible to rotavirus and G9[P8] genotype rotavirus infection. Conclusions:G9[P8] genotype was the main rotavirus infection in diarrhea children under 5 years of age in Nanjing, and individuals with secretory phenotype were more likely to be infected with G9[P8], which provided scientific basis for preventing and controlling rotavirus diarrhea in this area.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and safety of suprapubic bladder puncture and gland fixation in transurethral enucleation of the prostate.Methods:The clinical data of 15 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from January 2020 to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The age was (70.27±5.35) years old, preoperative serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level was (3.03±1.37) ng/ml, preoperative total prostate weight was 80.3(70.49, 96.78)g, preoperative postvoid residual urine volume(PVR)was 80 (55, 108)ml, and the maximum urine flow rate (Q max) was (6.13±2.25) ml/s. The international prostate symptom score(IPSS) was 25(22, 27), quality of life (QOL)score was 5(5, 6), international erectile function index-5 (IIEF-5) score was (15.38±5.10). All 15 patients underwent conventional transurethral plasma enucleation of prostate by using the three-lobe method, and the enucleated gland was pushed into the bladder completely. Then a laparoscopic pneumoperitoneum needle was used to perform suprappubic cystipuncture, and ureteral grasping forceps were inserted through the outer sheath. The forceps were used to fix the enencied gland. A rapid harvesting electric resection was performed in the broad space of the bladder, and the Ellick was rinsed to remove the tissue fragments. Surgical indicators and complications were recorded. The improvement of subjective score (IPSS, QOL, IIEF-5) and objective index (Q max, PVR) was compared between preoperative and postoperative. Results:All the 15 operations were completed successfully and there were no complications such as blood transfusion, capsule perforation, transurethral resection syndrome, bladder injury, bladder puncture site laceration and bleeding. The weight of resected prostate tissue was 44(40, 60)g, with blood loss (79.20±18.93)ml.The time of enucleation operation was (54.13±10.88)min, with harvest cutting time (14.67±2.50)min, evisceration efficiency (0.89±0.08)g/min, harvesting efficiency (3.26±0.36)g/min, bladder irrigation time (2.47±0.52) d. The time of indwelling catheter was (3.73±0.80)d.The postoperative hospital stay was (4.40±0.91) d. Temporary urinary incontinence occurred in 1 case after operation. All patients were followed up for 6 months after operation. The IPSS score was 3(2, 3), QOL score was 0(0, 1), IIEF-5 score was (20.12±2.30), Q maxwas (21.80±2.14) ml/s and PVR was 10(5, 15)ml, which were all significantly different compared with those before surgery ( P<0.05). The symptoms of the patients were significantly improved. Conclusions:Transurethral plasma enucleation of prostate combined with suprapubic bladder puncture and fixed gland is effective in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. The subjective symptoms and objective examination of patients have been significantly improved, and no adverse operation-related complications have occurred. It is a suitable method for enucleation of prostate in units which are not equipped with transurethral tissue planer.

Objective:To explore the clinical utility of liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry forprimary aldosteronism screening.Methods:From January to October 2019, 413 inpatients diagnosed hypertension from Fuwai Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences were enrolled, including 60 Primary aldosteronism(PA)patients and 353 primary hypertension patients. The plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) and renin concentration (DRC) were measured after 2 h of standing. The 24 h urine samples were collected for measurement of aldosterone using LC-MS/MS. The performance of urine aldosterone and urine aldosterone/renin ratio (UADRR) in PA screening was evaluated by ROC, and compared with PAC/DRC ratio (ADRR). Meanwhile, the efficiency of urine aldosterone in elderly patients or patients with low blood potassium or 24 h urine sodium over 200 mmol was investigated.Results:Area under the curve (AUC)of urine aldosterone was 0.725 (95 %CI 0.679-0.767), and the best cut-off was 7.13 μg/24 h, which was lower than AUC of ADRR (0.958, 95 %CI 0.934-0.975). The AUC of UADRR was 0.947 (95 %CI 0.920-0.966), the best cut-off was 1.11 (μg/24 h)/(μIU/ml), the sensitivity and specificity were 91.7% and 89.0%, respectively. There is no significant differences found with ADRR. In patients with 24 h urine sodium over 200 mmol, AUC of aldosterone was 0.834 (95 %CI 0.730-0.910) and the best cut-off was 9.31 μg/24 h. The sensitivity and specificity were 90.9% and 68.7%, respectively. For the elderly patients over 60 years old, the AUC of urinary aldosterone was 0.860 (95 %CI 0.770-0.925), and the best cut-off was 6.91 μg/24 h. The sensitivity and specificity were 84.6% and 81.3%, respectively. When admission blood potassium was less than 3.50 mmol/L, AUC of urinary aldosterone was 0.822 (95 %CI 0.684-0.917), and the best cut-off was 10.63 μg/24 h. The sensitivity and specificity were 85.7% and 66.7%, respectively. Conclusion:The detection of aldosterone in urine by LC-MS/MS can provide clinical information for PA screening, and the screening performance is better in patients with 24-hour urine sodium over 200 mmol, elderly patients or patients with low blood potassium. If combined with renin, screening efficiency was the same as that in ADRR.
