Objective To evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 inactivated vaccine(Vero cells)for people aged 60 and above with hypertension and/or diabetes. Methods In Songtao Miao Autonomous County,Guizhou Province,hypertensive and diabetic patients aged 60 and above and healthy people were selected as the research objects. They were divided into hypertension group,diabetes group,combined disease group(suffering from hypertension and diabetes simultaneously)and healthy people control group,and injected intramuscularly with SARS-CoV-2 inactivated vaccine(Vero cells)through the lateral deltoid muscle of upper arm at 0 and 21 d respectively,with a dose of 0. 5 mL each time. Adverse events in ≤ 30 min,0 ~ 7 d and 8 ~ 21 d after immunization were recorded and followed up to 6 months after vaccination. Venous blood samples of 5. 0 mL were collected before vaccination and 28 d after vaccination. The sera were separated,detected for neutralizing antibody levels by cytopathic assay and calculated for the geometric mean titers(GMTs)of neutralizing antibody and antibody seroconversion rate. Blood pressure of patients was measured in fixed time before vaccination and 30 min and 1 ~ 7 d after vaccination in hypertension group and combined disease group respectively;The fasting blood glucose was measured before vaccination and 2 h postprandial blood glucose was measured once on the day of vaccination. The fasting blood glucose and 2 h postprandial blood glucose were measured on 1,3,5 and 7 d after vaccination respectively. Results There was no significant difference in the incidence of solicited adverse events among hypertension group,diabetes group,combined disease group and healthy control group(χ2= 1. 790,P = 0. 617);There was no significant difference in the incidence of non-solicitation adverse events(P = 0. 412). A total of 5 serious adverse events occurred,all of which were judged to be unrelated to vaccines. No abnormal fluctuation of blood pressure and blood glucose was observed. The lower limits of 95% CI of the rate difference of hypertension,diabetes and combined disease groups were all greater than-10%,and the lower limits of 95% CI of the neutralizing antibody GMT ratio were greater than 0. 67,all of which were not inferior to the healthy control group. Conclusion SARS-CoV-2 inactivated vaccine(Vero cells)has good safety and immunogenicity for people aged 60 and above with hypertension and/or diabetes.

Objective To evaluate the left ventricular(LV)torsion in patients with permanent pacemaker implantation by speckle tracking imaging(STI).Methods Twenty-two patients with permanent pacemaker implantation were enrolled.Eleven of them had the pacing electrodes placed in the right ventricular(RV)apex(RVA group)and the others had the pacing electrodes placed in the RV outflow tract (RVOT group).Thirteen healthy subjects were studied as controls.The basal and apical shortaxis views of the left ventricle were acquired and analyzed using EchoPAC 7.0 station.Results ①The curves of LV torsion in the pacing groups were generally lower than those in the control group and notched.The torsion parameters of RVA group and RVOT group were all less than those of control group(Ptw:12.57±4.19°vs 12.43±5.46°vs 18.98±5.73°,all P<0.05),but there were no significant differences between RVA group and RVOT group.The time of torsion was not changed in the pacing groups because there were no significant differences among the three groups.②The values of Ptw-a(peak twist of the apex)were gradually declined among control group,RVA group and RVOT group.There was statistical difference in Ptw-a between RVOT group and control group(7.40±4.27°vs 12.70±6.82°,P=0.0364).③The basal Tp-SD(standard deviation of times to peak twist)of RVOT group was significantly longer than that of control group[14.1(7.97~22.70)%vs 4.87(3.03~7.79)%,P=0.0298].And total Tp-SD of RVA group was significantly longer than that of control group[(7.6±6.5)%vs 2.26(1.62~3.51)%,P=0.0423].④The curves of torsion velocity in the pacing groups were obviously disorganized compared with control group.But there were no statistical differences in Ptv(peak twist velocity),Putv(peak untwisting velocity),Tptv(time to peak twist velocity)and Tutv(time to peak untwisting velocity)among the three groups.Conclusions The RV pacing tends to impair torsional synehrony of LV and depress LV torsion,though it doesn't change the timing of LV torsion.It may impair LV systolic and diastolic function.
