Objective: To investigate the characteristics of influenza A virus (FluA), influenza B virus (FluB), human rhinovirus (HRV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human adenovirus (ADV) and Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) among acute respiratory infection (ARI) cases in the First People's Hospital of Huzhou, so as to provide the basis for formulating prevention and treatment measures for ARI. Methods: Gender, age, testing time, and pathogen testing data of ARI cases in the First People's Hospital of Huzhou from April 2023 to March 2024 were collected. The detection rates of FluA, FluB, HRV, RSV, ADV and MP were analyzed across different genders, age groups and seasons. Results: A total of 15 788 ARI cases were included, and 8 617 cases were tested positive for at least one pathogen, with a detection rate of 54.58%. Single-pathogen detection was found in 7 913 cases (50.12%), with the detection rates of 14.61% for FluA, 11.86% for MP, 8.46% for FluB, 8.41% for RSV, 4.35% for HRV, and 2.44% for ADV. Mixed-pathogen detection was found in 704 cases (4.46%). MP mixed with other pathogens was the most common, with 335 cases accounting for 47.59% of mixed detections. The single-pathogen detection rate for RSV was higher in males than in females (9.13% vs. 7.64%, P<0.05). The detection rate was higher in the cases aged 5 to <18 years (67.32%) than in the other age groups (all P<0.008). The detection rates were higher in autumn and winter, with 56.99% and 61.59%, respectively (all P<0.008). Conclusions The pathogen detection rate among ARI cases in the First People's Hospital of Huzhou from 2023 to 2024 was relatively high, with FluA and MP being the predominant pathogens. Children and adolescents aged 5 to <18 years were the susceptible population, and autumn and winter were the peak seasons for infection.

Objective To construct a packaged bacteria strain and, with it, to prepare gene III-defective helper phage. Methods Whole gene III and chloramphenicol-resistant gene were amplified and joined to form a fragment flanking 36bp homologous sequence of hisBCD using overlapping extending PCR, and it was then integrated into chromosome of E. coli XL1-Blue to replace the hisBCD gene using Red recombination system. The recombinant strain was identified with chloramphenicol-resistant screening, PCR and histidine-phenotype analysis, and named as XL-pⅢ. The gene III-deleted genome of phage was constructed with PCR and transfected into the recombinant strain XL-pⅢ to prepare the defective helper phage. It was quantified by infecting E. coli XL1-Blue and formed colonies were counted in kanamycin plate. Results The recombinant strain could grow in chloramphenicol-resistant plate, but couldn't grow in M9 medium without histidine, implying that it had lost its histidine phenotype. The aimed gene fragment could be amplified as designed. The constructed recombinant was named as XL-pⅢ. The prepared defective helper phage could infect E. coli XL1-Blue only once and the CFU was 3.7?108. Conclusions The packaged strain XL-pⅢ is successfully constructed and used to prepare the gene III-deleted helper phage. It is expected to be used in SIP system.

BACKGROUND:Studies regarding neural stem cells (NSCs) mainly focus on rodents and human,few of which addressing non-human primate animals.OBJECTIVE:To explore a culture system of cynomolgus monkey NSCs (cmNSCs),additionally,to observe its differential potential.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:An in vitro cytology observation was performed at the Canter for Stem Cell Biology and Tissue Engineering,Sun Yat-sen University between July 2008 and April 2009.MATERIALS:Spontaneously aborted cynomolgus monkey fetus with 3-5 months old (gestational age),was provided by Landao Biotechnology Co.,Ltd.METHODS:The subventricular zone and the hippocampus were dissected aseptically from the brain of spontaneously aborted cynomolgus monkey fetus,then triturated with fire-polished glass Pasteur pipettes to single cells,and cultured in 25 cm~2 culture flask with concentration of (2.0-5.0)×10~5.The neurospheres were transferred into polyornithine and fibronectin precoated cell culture dish after 2 weeks when they formed.Each 20 μg/L of epithelium growth factor (EGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) was daily added.The adhesive cells were passagad when they reached about 90% confluency.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The NSCs and its differential potential were identified by surface marker nestin and immunocytochemistry.RESULTS:The neurospheres formed after 1 week culture,and grew with time prolonged.The culture system was changed into adherent culture at 4th week.At 24 hours after plated on the poly-omithine/fibronectin pre-coated dish,neurospheras adhered to the dish and many cells migrated out of neurnshperes and proliferated as monolayer.The immunocytochemistry showed that NSCs which culture medium contain EGF and bFGF preserve neatin positive,and the cmNSCs that without EGF and bFGF differentiated into astrocytes (GFAP positive),neurons (Tuj-1 positive) and oligodendrocytes (O4 positive).CONCLUSION:The culture system which combines suspension culture and adherent culture is fit for the culture of cmNSCs.The cultured cmNSCs has potential to differentiate into astrocytes,neuronal cells and oligodendrocytes.

Objective To identify the charactor of wide QRS complex tachycardia( WCT)throuGh transesophaGeal atrial pacinG( TEAP ). Methods TEAP and intracadiac electrophysioloGical examination infoamation of l2 cases WCT were collected and analyzed from January to February in 20l2 of Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital. Results Comparison of TEAP and intracadiac electrophysioloGical examination showed that l0 in l2 patients were match. Conclusion TEAP is a rapid and convenient method to diaGnose most WCT.

AIM: To report a case of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) treat with multiple transpupillary themotherapy (TTT) and choroidal neovascularization (CNV) disappeared but retinal pigment epithelial(PRE) and choroidal atrophy occurred with a low vision at the end point.METHODS: Clinical data including fundus hotographs, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), indocyanine angiography (ICGA) and optical coherence tomography(OCT) was reviewed.RESULTS: A 72-year-old man complained about blurred vision of his left eye and FFA revealed polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) in the macula. His left eye had stable vision of 0.1 for 6 years without any treatment of CNV. About 2 years later, his right eye presented a piece of CNV. During the period of 3 years, the lesion remained more (3×5 PD) and less (1×2PD) in size with remarkable exudates and bleeding, and 7 sessions of TTT were applied with 80-280mW, 2mm of spot, and 60 seconds exposure and with the interval of 3 months or more. The CNV lesion finally disappeared, but there left a white area in the macula and vision decreased from 0.3 to 0.04.CONCLUSION: Although CNV lesion can be eliminated by TTT, obvious atrophy of RPE cells and the choroids can happen and this may not be of help for patient vision. It suggests that the parameters of TTT will be lower than 120 mW/mm and limited less two sessions if applicable, especially for Asia people.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of isovolemic hemodilution with 6% hetastarch (HAES) and ligustrazine on myocardium against ischemia/reperfusion injury. Methods Thirty-two healthy male rabbits were anesthetized with 3% pentobarbital 30 mg?kg-1 , tracheotomized and mechanically ventilated. Left femoral artery and vein were cannulated for direct BP monitoring, blood collection and fluid infusion. Chest was opened and myocardial ischemia was produced by temporary ligation of the anterior descending branch of left coronary artery. Myocardial ischemia was confirmed by elevation or depression of S-T segment and /or high T-wave. The animals were randomly divided into 4 equal groups with 8 animals in each group: Ⅰ control group was subjected to 45 min myocardial ischemia followed by 180 min reperfusion without any treatment; Ⅱ hemodilution group in which 9 ml Ⅲ kg-1 blood was removed and blood volume was maintained by simultaneous infusion of equal volume of 6% HAES at 20 min after myocardial ischemia was started; Ⅳ ligustrazine group received ligustrazine injectio 20 mg?kg-1 iv 20 min before and 40 min after myocardial ischemia was started; Ⅱ hemodilution + ligustrazine group in which hemodilution was performed as in group Ⅲ and ligustrazine injectio was given iv as in group Ⅲ . BP and HR were recorded before during and at the end of myocardial ischemia, and at 30, 60, 120, 180 min of reperfusion. Hct was measured before and after hemodilution. Blood samples were taken for determination of plasma CPK and LDH activities before ischemia (T0), at the end of 45 min ischemia (T1) and at the end of 180 min reperfusion (T2 ) . At the end of the experiment, myocardial tissue 0.2 g was obtained from ischemic and non-ischemic area for determination of myocardial CPK and LDH activities and election microscopic examination. Results (1) In all four groups plasma CPK and LDH activities were significantly increased after ischemia (T1 ) and were increased further after reperfusion (T2) (P
