Objective To detect the positive rates of antibodies against avian influenza virus (AIV) subtypes H5, H6, H7 and H9 among people in poultry occupations in Guangdong province and to analyze the transmission of various subtypes of AIV from poultry to human contacts for the prevention and control of novel AIV infection in human beings.Methods Serum specimens were collected from 1066 peo-ple in poultry occupations ( occupational group) and 205 people not in poultry occupations ( non-occupational group) in 10 cities of Guangdong province.The inactivated AIV strains, isolated from poultry or environment of Guangdong province, were used as antigens to detect antibodies against AIV subtypes H5, H6, H7 and H9 by using the hemagglutination inhibition ( HI) assay.Results The positive rates of antibodies against AIV subtypes H5, H6, H7 and H9 carried by people from the occupational group were respectively 0.44%, 0%, 0.30%and 0.30%in 2013 and 1.08%, 0.0%, 0.0%and 0.27%in 2014.Only the anti-H9 anti-bodies were detected in serum samples collected form people in the non-occupational group in 2013 with a positive rate of 0.95%.No significant differences with the positive rates of anti-AIV antibodies were found between the occupational group and the non-occupational group.However, the geometric mean titer ( GMT) of anti-AVI antibodies in people from the occupational group was higher than that of the non-occupational group.Conclusion Although a grand spread of AIV from avian to human is not likely to happen yet, con-tacting with poultry is the risk factor for AIV infection in Guangdong population.A long-term surveillance of anti-AIV antibodies in serum should be strengthened among people in poultry occupations for the timely pre-vention and control of novel AIV outbreak.

OBJECTIVE To mine adverse drug event （ADE） signals related to baloxavir marboxil， and to provide reference for clinically safe drug use. METHODS The ADE signals related to baloxavir marboxil from January 1， 2018 to May 31， 2022 in the US FDA adverse event reporting system （FAERS） were mined using the proportional reporting odds ratio （PRR） method. ADE with report number≥3， PRR≥2 and χ2≥4 was defined as a positive signal， and PRR method was used to analyze the ADE signal. RESULTS A total of 1 424 ADE reports with baloxavir marboxil as the main suspected drug were collected， involving 460 ADE signals. The femininity and patient under 18 years old were reported more， the country with the highest number of reports was the United States， and the main indication of drug reported was influenza. A total of 37 ADE positive signals were obtained after PRR calculation and screening exclusion， the first three ADE signals in the list of the reported number were diarrhea， vomiting and immediate hypersensitivity， and the first three ADE signals in the list of PRR value were febrile delirium， ischaemic colitis and hemorrhagic cystitis. Compared with the instructions of baloxavir marboxil， 18 ADE signals had not yet been included， such as abnormal liver function， hematuria， hemorrhagic cystitis， etc. Five new SOCs were involved， such as kidney and urinary system diseases， hepatobiliary system diseases， investigations， nervous system disorders and musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders. CONCLUSIONS When clinical application of baloxavir marboxil， in addition to the adverse drug reactions mentioned in the drug instructions， attention should be paid to abnormal liver function， hematuria， hemorrhagic cystitis， etc， so as to guarantee the safety of drug use.

Objective     To analyze predictive factors, clinical implications and prognosis effects of new-onset conduction block after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Methods     The clinical data of 86 patients who underwent TAVI through transfemoral approach from 2019 to 2021 in Fujian Provincial Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, including 59 males and 27 females with an average age of 72.9±8.0 years. The patients were divided into a normal group and a new-onset conduction block group according to whether there was new-onset conduction block after operation, and then the new-onset conduction block group was subdivided into a left bundle branch block (LBBB) group (28 patients) and a complete atrioventricular block (CAVB) group (11 patients). We compared the hemodynamics and TAVI-related complications between the postoperative and early follow-up periods, and used the multivariate logistic regression models to identify risk factors for the new-onset conduction block. Results     The median EuroSCORE of all patients were 8 (2) points before the operation. In the postoperative and early follow-up periods, the hemodynamics and TAVI-related complications had no statistical difference between the new-onset conduction block group and the normal group (P>0.05). The incidence of permanent pacemaker implantation (81.8%, 9/11) and mortality due to cardiac causes (18.1%, 2/11) in the CAVB group were significantly higher than those in the normal group and theLBBB group (P<0.05). Female, severe calcification of the aortic valve, too large valve size and deep valve implants were the risk factors for new-onset conduction block after TAVI. Conclusion    The incidence of LBBB and CAVB is high after TAVI, however, both of them do not significantly effect the hemodynamics of the patients. Higher incidence of permanent pacemaker implantation is found in the CAVB group which affects the rate of rehospitalization and mortality. Female patients, severe calcification of the aortic valve, too large valve size and deep valve implants are the risk factors for the new-onset conduction block after TAVI.
