Objective To analyze the correlation between detection of influenza pathogenic subtypes and epidemic situation in Hefei City during the surveillance years of 2015-2021, and to provide references for developing influenza prevention and control strategies. Methods The relevant data of influenza-like illness (ILI) surveillance, influenza etiology, and outbreak/cluster outbreaks reported from influenza surveillance sentinel hospitals in Hefei City from 2015 to 2021 in the China Influenza Surveillance Information System were analyzed. The statistical analysis was carried out. Results A total of 3 332 553 outpatient and emergency visits in 2 sentinel hospitals were reported in Hefei City from 2015 to 2021, of which 139,082 were ILI cases, accounting for 4.17%. The monthly proportion ranged from 1.60% to 7.15%. A total of 14 663 ILI specimens were submitted for detection, the submission rate was 10.54%, and the positive rate of influenza virus detection was 11.30%. There was no correlation between the proportion of monthly influenza like cases and the detection rate (rs=0.176, P=0.107). The composition ratio of each subtype of influenza virus varied greatly, showing diversified seasonality, and the epidemic strains changed constantly. The Victoria subtype (BV subtype) was dominant (40.21%). There was a moderate correlation between the positive rate of ILI in sentinel hospitals and the number of outbreaks per month (rs=0.696, P=0.000). There was a strong correlation between the monthly number of outbreaks and the detection rate (rss=0.696, P=0.000). There was a strong correlation between influenza A virus H3 subtype and BV subtype (rs -H3=0.686, P=0.030; rs -BV=0.632, P=0.000). There was a moderate correlation between the new A1 subtype and B Yamagata subtype (rs -new A H1=0.481, P=0.000 0; rs -BY=0.515, P=0.000). Conclusion There are two epidemic peaks in spring and winter in Hefei. Influenza subtypes are diverse. The results of ILI etiology can predict the outbreaks of different subtypes of influenza. Prediction and surveillance should be used for influenza control and outbreak management in a timely manner.

OBJECTIVE
To establish UHPLC-ELSD fingerprint and multi-component content determination methods, compare the differences in sheep bile from different regions, and conduct antioxidant activity research to provide a basis for the in-depth development and utilization of sheep bile.
METHODS
Used UHPLC-ELSD method to establish 21 batches of bile fingerprints of sheep from different origins and conduct similarity analysis. Measured the content of 6 components, DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging ability, iron ion reduction ability, and conducted entropy weighted TOPSIS and grey correlation analysis.
RESULTS
A total of 11 common peaks were identified in the fingerprint spectra of 21 batches of sheep bile. Through comparison with the control sample, 6 components were identified, including taurocholic acid(TCA), glycocholic acid(GCA), taurochenodeoxycholic acid(TCDCA), tauroursodeoxycholic acid(TDCA), glycodeoxycholic acid(GDCA), and cholic acid(CA). Except for 4 batches of samples, the similarity of the fingerprint spectra was greater than 0.90. The total content range of 6 components in the freeze-dried powder of 21 batches of sheep bile was 55.34% to 86.08%. The highest content of taurocholic acid ranged from 34.74% to 60.86%, indicating significant differences in the content of the six components in samples from different regions. Sheep bile from different regions had antioxidant activity, and there were also certain differences. The results of entropy weighted TOPSIS analysis using six component contents as variables showed that the top ten scoring groups were S2, S18, S16, S9, S8, S21, S1, S10, S20, and S15, indicating good quality and slightly better bile quality from sheep in the northern region. The grey correlation analysis results between the content of 6 components and 3 antioxidant indicators showed that all 6 components were correlated with each antioxidant indicator, and TCA, TDCA, and TCDCA had the highest correlation, which might be important components for sheep bile to exert antioxidant effects.
CONCLUSION
The use of entropy weighted TOPSIS and grey correlation analysis methods can effectively analyze the quality differences and antioxidant active components of sheep bile from different regions, providing scientific basis for its quality evaluation.
