【Objective】 To investigate the situation of hepatitis E virus(HEV) infection among voluntary blood donors in Wuhan area and provide evidences for enhancing blood screening strategies. 【Methods】 HEV nucleic acid detection(NAT) was performed on blood samples from eligible blood donors in Wuhan from November to December 2020. The testing results were analyzed, and the blood donors with repeated reactive results were followed up to clarify the status of infection. 【Results】 Routine screening was performed on 17 409 blood samples from November to December 2020. A total of 17 322 blood samples of eligible blood donors were tested for HEV NAT, and one case of HEV RNA reactivity was detected. The results from the follow-ups showed that the blood donor should be in the window period of HEV seroconversion. The current HEV infection rate of voluntary blood donors in Wuhan arewas 0.058‰(1/17 322), which was lower than other domestic areas. 【Conclusion】 The current HEV infection rate of voluntary blood donors was at a relatively low prevalence level in Wuhan area. Selective blood screening strategies can be taken to further reduce potential risk of blood transfusion infection with hepatitis E virus.

【Objective】 To investigate the prevalence and risk factor of hepatitis E virus(HEV) infection among blood donors in Wuhan. 【Methods】 A total of 1 302 serum samples (including 1 076 with normal ALT and 226 with elevated ALT) from blood donors were randomly collected from January to December 2021 in Wuhan Blood Center. Anti-HEV IgG, IgM and HEV antigen (Ag) were examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The IgM or Ag positive and elevated ALT samples were subjected to real time-PCR to detect HEV RNA. Multivariable logistic regression modeling was used to examine the risk factors associated with HEV prevalence. 【Results】 Overall, the positive rates of anti-HEV IgG, IgM, and Ag were 16.44%, 1.0% and 0.08%, respectively. However, none of the serum samples were HEV RNA positive. The prevalence of anti-HEV IgG and anti-HEV IgM was similar in samples with increased ALT and normal ALT (IgG 13.72% vs 17.01%, P>0.05; IgM 1.33% vs 0.93%, P>0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed a strong statistical association between age and HEV IgG seroprevalence. The prevalence increased with increasing age, from 5.4% (18~25 years old) to 68.7%(the highest) in blood donors above 46 years (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 HEV showed a seroprevalence among blood donors in Wuhan, some of whom were recent infections, suggesting a threat to the safety of blood transfusions. A low anti-HEV prevalence in young adults (18~25 years) is indicative of a susceptible population and implicates a higher risk of HEV infections in this age group in the future.

Objective To explore the best way of rearing children guarded by welfare in stitutions. Methods Grouping the rearing methods into two categories randomly, traditional orphanages and foster care, then using their height, weight, Gesell development schedules and Ages and Stages Questionnaires-Third Edition to compare their physical development, psychological health, behaviour, and cognition progress from the data collected when they were 12 months old in both categories. Results For children between age 0.5 month to 1.5 month old, by comparing the data collected when they were 12 month old, the study found that there was no statistical difference in physical development between these two groups of children in main indicators of height (t=0.94, P=0.349>0.05) and weight(t=1.843, P=0.068>0.05). However, children in family foster care shown advantage in area of motor ability(t =2.102, P=0.037<0.05) , gross motor skill (t=2.566, P=0.011<0.05), fine motor skill (t=2.825,P=0.005<0.01), which had statistical significance. Foster care children also shown big advantage in area of cognitive ability (t=2.479 ,P=0.014<0.05), behaviour(t=2.535,P=0.012<0.05), problem resolving ability(t=3.241, P=0.001<0.01), personal-social(t=3.173,P=0.001<0.01), the differences were statistically significant. Especially for verbal ability, foster care children had significant advantage in both measurements (t=6.329、4.886,P=0.000<0.01). Conclusion Family foster care should be chosen as much as possible in rearing children whose guardians are welfare institutions.

【Objective】 To investigate the prevalence of Hepatitis E virus (HEV) among blood donors in Wuhan urban agglomeration, aimed at providing data support for the development of HEV screening strategies for blood donors. 【Methods】 A total of 3 329 blood samples were collected from four centralized testing areas (Ezhou, Tianmen, Xiantao and Qianjiang) and screened at Wuhan Blood Center from January to December 2021. Among them, 2 737 were eligible blood samples with normal ALT (ALT normal group) and 592 were with elevated ALT (ALT elevated group). Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect anti-HEV IgG, anti-HEV IgM and HEV-Ag, and Real-time PCR was used to perform single HEV RNA detection on blood samples with elevated ALT and normal ALT anti-HEV IgM+ blood samples. A two-sided Pearson’s chi-squared test or Fisher's exact test was used to evaluate the differences in the positive rates of anti-HEV IgG and anti-HEV IgM in different regions and ALT groups. 【Results】 The overall positive rates of anti-HEV IgG, anti-HEV IgM, and HEV-Ag in 3 329 blood samples from four regions were 21.63%, 1.29%, and 0%, respectively. There was a significant difference in the positive rates of anti-HEV IgG among blood donors in different regions (P<0.05). The highest positive rate of anti-HEV IgG was found in Tianmen 29.44% (136/462), followed by Qianjiang 22.69% (236/1 040), Xiantao 22.66% (230/1 015), and Ezhou 14.53% (118/812). The positive rates of anti-HEV IgG and anti-HEV IgM in blood samples with elevated ALT were significantly higher than that in normal ALT samples (25.68% vs 20.75%, 2.53% vs 1.02%, both P<0.05). However, none of the samples was HEV RNA positive. 【Conclusion】 HEV is prevalent among blood donors in Wuhan urban agglomeration with extremely low current infection rates, and the prevalence of anti-HEV IgG serum varies among different regions. The prevalence of anti-HEV antibodies in blood donors with elevated ALT is significantly higher than that in normal ALT donors.

【Objective】 To explore the relationship between parental meta-emotion philosophy and family rearing environment in infants and toddlers, in order to provide guidance for building a positive family rearing environment. 【Methods】 The Parental Meta-Emotion Philosophy Scale was used to measure parents′ social emotions. Family rearing environment of infants was investigated by combining demographic data and Family Rearing Environment Scale. Independent sample t-tests, one-way analysis of variance, Spearman correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression were utilized to analyze the relationship between parental meta-emotion philosophy and the family rearing environment. 【Results】 A total of 370 infant caregivers were included in the study. The average age of infants was (27.81±7.76) months, with 192 boys (51.9%) and 178 girls (48.1%). Parents′ education level (F=4.71), whether they were the only child or not (t=8.85), whether the infant attended nursery or not (t=-2.49), and the per capita monthly income of the family (F=4.77) showed statistical significance in relation to the differences observed among the family rearing environments of infants and toddlers (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis indicated that the emotional teaching dimension of parental meta-emotion philosophy had a positive predictive effect on the overall level of the infant′s family rearing environment (β=0.50, 95%CI: 1.11 - 1.59), while the emotional loss dimension had a negative predictive effect (β=-0.15, 95%CI: -0.85 - -0.07). 【Conclusion】 The parental meta-emotion philosophy is closely related to the family rearing environment and serves as an important factor influencing it. It is supposed to improve parents′ emotional literacy and enrich their knowledge of parental meta-emotion philosophy, so as to help build a positive family rearing environment.

OBJECTIVE To establish and apply a method for the determination of plasma concentration of delamanid (DLM). METHODS After plasma samples were treated with methanol precipitation, LC-MS/MS was adopted to determine the plasma concentration of DLM. The chromatographic column was Phenomenex SynergiTM Fusion-RP with mobile phase of methanol-0.1% formic acid solution (gradient elution). The column temperature was 40 ℃ , the flow rate was 0.3 mL/min, and the sample size was 1 μL. The ion source was electrospray ion source, and positive ion scanning was carried out in multi-reaction monitoring mode. The DLM ion pair used for quantitative analysis was m/z 535.0→352.0. The plasma concentration of DLM in 6 multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) patients were determined by the LC-MS/MS method. RESULTS The linear range of DLM was 0.05-8 μg/mL (r=0.999 5), and the lowest limit of quantitation was 0.05 μg/mL. RSDs of intra-batch and inter-batch precision were all less than 10%. The accuracy ranged 92.7%-104.9%. Average matrix effect was 94.3%-107.5%. Average recoveries were 93.2%-98.1%. The plasma concentration of DLM in 6 MDR-TB patients ranged from 0.61-2.76 μg/mL, with an average of (1.67± 0.74) μg/mL. CONCLUSIONS The established LC-MS/MS analysis method has good specificity, high sensitivity, accuracy and precision, and can be used to determine DLM plasma concentration in MDR-TB patients.
