Objective To study the factors influencing epidemiological characteristics and virulence of Enterovirus 71 (EV71) in Guangdong province from 2008 to 2010. Methods RNA was extracted from collected samples or cultured virus , then reversing transcription into cDNA. We amplified full-length EV71-VP1 using poly-merase chain reaction technology , then conducted sequence alignment and established phylogenetic tree with MEGA software (version 5.0) to confirm the genotype of EV71. The association between severity of clinical symp-toms and sex, age, viral genotype and VP1 variation was also analyzed using Logistic regression. Results The genotype of the predominant epidemical strain was C4a in Guangdong from 2008 to 2010. However , this subtype had already differentiated into 4 subgroups (C4a1- C4a4). There was no correlation between clinical syndrome and sex or viral genotype; the severity of symptoms was negatively correlated with age: before 4 years old, varia-tion A289T can easily lead to severe cases, increasing the risk of infection (P<0.05, OR = 2.360, 95%CI:1.163~ 4.659). Conclusion The main epidemical EV71 strain is C4a1 in Guangdong province. The emerging differen-tiation and simultaneous prevalence should merit attention to strengthen relevant surveillance; and the protection of the susceptible population should be reinforced during EV71 prevalence.

The policy implementation model of G. C. Edwards was used to analyze the public policy health impact assessment in Zhejiang province, and summarize its practice and existing problems in four aspects of policy implementation standards, policy resources, policy executors′ intention and management organization structure, so as to provide reference for promoting the national health impact assessment pilot work. The analysis results showed that Zhejiang province has initially established the public policy health impact assessment mechanism and achieved phased results, but there were still some problems, including the imperfection of policy content and implementation strategy, the inadequacy of leadership decision-making and top-level design, the difference in attitude, understanding and implementation preference of policy implementation subjects, and the ambiguity of the authority and responsibility system of each department in cooperation. In order to further promote the smooth development of public policy health impact assessment, Zhejiang province should actively promote the top-level design to strengthen policy support, integrate and optimize policy resources, gradually establish and improve the health governance mechanism of multiple and overall coordination, and promote the high-quality development of public policy health impact assessment by taking cross departmental cooperation as the path of health co-construction.

Objective:To investigate the Correlation between ADC combined with serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and delayed encephalopathy after carbon monoxide poisoning (DEACMP), It provides scientific basis for early prediction of DEACMP.Methods:According to the design principle of case-control study, the data of acute carbon monoxide poisoning (ACOP) patients admitted to Shandong Provincial Hospital from December 2017 to December 2021 were retrospectively selected. Among them, patients with DEACMP were selected as the case group, without DEACMP were used as the control group. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed on the two groups. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of ADC combined with CRP as a combined predictor for disease.Results:A total of 89 patients with ACOP were included, including 33 patients with DEACMP and 56 patients without DEACMP. There were no significant differences in gender, age, smoking, drinking, and underlying diseases (hypertension, coronary heart disease) between groups ( P>0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that white blood cell count (WBC) ( OR=1.64, 95% CI: 1.19-2.26, P=0.003), CRP ( OR=1.22, 95% CI: 1.03-1.45, P=0.019) and ADC value of central semiovale white matter ( OR=0.99, 95% CI: 0.98-1.00, P=0.010) were associated with DEACMP in patients with ACOP. The ROC curve results showed that the area under the ROC of ADC combined with CRP in the center of semiovale was 0.765 (95% CI: 0.656-0.845), the specificity was 87.9%, the sensitivity was 23.2%, and the cut-off value was 3.5°. Conclusions:WBC, CRP and ADC value of central semiovale are independent factors for DEACMP. ADC value of central semiovale combined with CRP has more clinical value in the early diagnosis of DEACMP. For ACOP patients with DEACMP triggering factors, the diagnosis and treatment awareness of early screening of brain magnetic resonance imaging should be strengthened to avoid DEACMP.

Objective:To establish the cut-off value of tetradecenoyl carnitine (C14∶1)/dodecenoyl carnitine(C12∶1) based on non-derivatized tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), and to explore the application value of C14∶1/C12∶1 to screen newborns for very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (VLCADD), determining the best combination of indicators for screening VLCADD.Methods:This retrospective study included data from 17 newborns with VLCADD detected by MS/MS and confirmed by acyl-CoA dehydrogenase very long chain ( ACADVL) gene detection, and 423 507 newborns with normal MS/MS results. The data from these newborns were collected from January 2014 to December 2021 as the newborns received neonatal screening in Nanjing Neonatal Disease Screening Center and Suzhou Neonatal Disease Screening Center. All newborns were divided into 3 groups: all newborns group, full-term newborns group and normal-birth-weight newborns group, and the cut-off values of C14∶1/C12∶1 for VLCADD in these 3 groups were determined by their receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves individually. With these results, a total of 5 interpretation schemes were composed using different indicators alone or jointly: scheme 1 being C14∶1/C12∶1, scheme 2 being C14∶1, scheme 3 being C14∶1+C14∶1/C2+C14∶1/C16, scheme 4 being C14∶1/C12∶1+C14∶1, and scheme 5 being C14∶1/C12∶1+C14∶1+C14∶1/C2+C14∶1/C16. The detection rate, false-positive rate and positive predictive value of each scheme were calculated, and their screening efficiencies were statistically compared by Chi-square tests. Results:The cut-off values of C14∶1/C12∶1 for VLCADD in the 3 newborn groups were all 2.80. The detection rates of VLCADD with all 5 interpretation schemes were 17/17. Scheme 1 had the highest false positive rate [26.15‰ (11 075/423 524)] and the lowest positive predictive value [0.15% (17/11 092)]. Scheme 4 (Scheme 5) had the lowest false positive rate [0.02‰ (10/423 524)] and the highest positive predictive value [62.96% (17/27)]. Comparing scheme 4 (Scheme 5) with scheme 1, scheme 2 and scheme 3, the differences of false positive rate (χ2=302.30,11 191.50,32.06) and positive predictive value (χ2=102.51,3 485.61,13.83) were statistically significant (all P<0.001). Conclusion:C14∶1/C12∶1 was an effective auxiliary interpretive indicator for VLCADD in newborn screening, and the combination of C14∶1/C12∶1+C14∶1 was tested to be the best indicator for VLCADD screening based on non-derivatized tandem mass spectrometry.
