A porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) was obtained from clinic samples. Genes 5 and 6 encoding for the viral glycoprotein 5 and a membrane protein of the PRRSV designated as HH08 were amplified by reverse transcription-PCR. These sequences were compared with reference sequences derived from different geographical locations. The results indicated that the virus belongs to the North American type rather than European. Comparative analyses of the genetic diversity between the PRRSV isolate HH08 and other Chinese as well as foreign reference strains of PRRSV were discussed based on the sequence comparison and the topology of phylogenetic trees constructed in this study.

Objective:To study the effects of comprehensive warming intervention strategy on the body temperature of preterm infants (gestational age <32 weeks and birth weight <1 500 g) during inter-hospital transportation.Method:From October 2016 to July 2019, eligible preterm infants transported to our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. From October 2016 to March 2018, preterm infants transported with routine transportation strategy were assigned into the control group. From April 2018 to July 2019, preterm infants transported with the comprehensive warming intervention strategy were assigned into the experiment group. The body temperature, complications and prognosis before and after the transportation to our NICU were compared.Result:A total of 1 194 premature infants with gestational age <32 weeks were included with 630 cases in the control group and 564 cases in the experiment group. No significant differences existed in demographic data of the mothers, infants and the transportation time between the two groups ( P>0.05). The body temperatures before and after transportation in the experimental group were (36.8±0.5)℃ and (36.7±0.5)℃, significantly higher than the control group [(36.0±0.4)℃ and (36.3±0.6)℃] ( P<0.01). The incidences of hypoglycemia and mortality in the experimental group were 3.7% (21/564) and 4.8% (27/564), significantly lower than the control group [8.4% (53/630) and 7.9% (50/630)] ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Comprehensive warming intervention strategy in inter-hospital transport can effectively improve the body temperature of preterm infants before and after transportation, reducing the incidences of hypoglycemia and mortality.

Objective:To summarize the patient profiles and therapeutic efficacies of ABO-incompatible living-related kidney transplantations at 19 domestic transplant centers and provide rationales for clinical application of ABOi-KT.Methods:Clinical cases of ABO-incompatible/compatible kidney transplantation (ABOi-KT/ABOc-KT) from December 2006 to December 2009 were collected. Then, statistical analyses were conducted from the aspects of tissue matching, perioperative managements, complications and survival rates of renal allograft or recipients.Results:Clinical data of 342 ABOi-KT and 779 ABOc-KT indicated that (1) no inter-group differences existed in age, body mass index (BMI), donor-recipient relationship or waiting time of pre-operative dialysis; (2) ABO blood type: blood type O recipients had the longest waiting list and transplantations from blood type A to blood type O accounted for the largest proportion; (3) HLA matching: no statistical significance existed in mismatch rate or positive rate of PRA I/II between two types of surgery; (4) CD20 should be properly used on the basis of different phrases; (5) hemorrhage was a common complication during an early postoperative period and microthrombosis appeared later; (6) no difference existed in postoperative incidence of complications or survival rate of renal allograft and recipients at 1/3/5/10 years between ABOi-KT and ABOc-KT. The acute rejection rate and serum creatinine levels of ABOi-KT recipients were comparable to those of ABOc-KT recipients within 1 year.Conclusions:ABOi-KT is both safe and effective so that it may be applied at all transplant centers as needed.
