Objective To develop an rapid, visuable method to detect the genotypes of HBV.Methods According to the published full-length sequence with known genotypes in GenBank, the specific primer and biotin-lablled probe were designed. We established a nucleic acid strip method for genotyping hepatitis B virus(HBV) isolates among 150 HBV infected patients and 20 healthy controls, and compared the results with those obtained by real-time PCR. Results There was 34.00% genotype B , 61.33% genotype C, 4.00% genotype B/C in 150 samples, respectively, while the remaining 0.67% unknown. The results for this assay were high comparable to the method of real-time PCR. Conclusion With the similar sensitivity and specifity when compared with real-time PCR, this rapid method is suitable to the clinical setting.

Objective To establish a rapid, sensitive, and specific quantitative method to detect hepatitis C virus. Methods A primer set targeting HCV 5'UTR was designed. The isothermal amplification was performed by the Bst DNA polymerase and AMV reverse transcriptase, under the temperature of 60℃ for 60 min. The signal was monitored by SYBR Green Ⅰ. Results One hundred and twenty positive serum samples, confirmed by the real-time PCR. All were detected by the isothermal amplification, while 110 healthy subjects' samples were negative by the both methods. The lower detect limit was determined to 10 IU/ml HCV-RNA, by the assay on serial dilutions of the quality control standards obtained from clinical investigation center of MOH. Conclusion A real time reverse loop-mediated isothermal amplification method was developed to detect HCV, with the characteristic of rapidity, high sensitivity and specificity.

Objective To investigate the association of primary liver cancer(PLC)with the mutations of HBV precore and basic core promoter(BCP)genes.Methods The serum markers of hepatitis B and the quantities of serum HBV DNA were detected in 144 HBsAg-positive PLC patients.The precore and BCP gene mutations in patients with HBeAg-negtive and HBV DNA-positive were detected by real-time PCR.One hundred and twenty chronic hepatitis B(CHB)patients were randomly selected to serve as the conol.Results There were 46(3 1.94%)patients with HBeAg-positive and 98(68.06%)patients with HBeAg-negative.In 98 HBeAg-negative patients,56(57.14%)were HBV DNA-positive,in which 43 (76.79%)were with precore 1896 gene mutations,50(89.29%)were with BCP1762/1764 gene mutations.and 38(67.86%)were with both gene mutations.Precore 1896 and BCP1762/1764 gene mutation rates in PLC patients were much higher than those in CHB patients(χ2=9.36 and 5.77,P<0.05).Conclusion PLC may be associated with the mutations of HBV precore anti BCP genes.

Methods Specific primers and probe were designed based on highly conserved VP1 region of enterovirus 71, coxsackie virus A16 and enterovirus. The sensitivity and specificity of the real-time RT-PCR was evaluated with 35 stool samples collected from pediatric patients with suspected HFMD and 20 clinical samples from health pediatric patients. Results Out of 35 clinical samples from suspected HFMD, 35 samples were identified as positive for enterovirus, 25 clinical samples were identified as positive for enterovirus 71, 8 clinical samples were identified as positive for coxsackie virus A16, among which 3 clinical samples were identified as positive for enterovirus 71 and coxsackie virus A16. The clinical diagnostic accordance rate is 85.71%. Out of 20 clinical samples from normal pediatric patients, 5 clinical samples were identified as positive for enterovirus, 20 clinical samples were negative for enterovirns 71 and coxsackie virus AI6. Conclusion Our results indicate real-time RT-PCR offers a rapid, sensitive, specific and cheap method to detect pathogen of HFMD from clinical specimens.
