Objective To analyze the etiological and epidemiological characteristics of hand-foot-mouth disease(HFMD) in Liuzhou city from 2013 to 2016,and to provide scientific evidence for preventive policy making.Methods Specimens of HFMD cases were collected from the hospitals and county CDC from 2013 to 2016.The nucleic acids which are enterovirus viruses71(EV71),coxasckie virus A16(CoxA16) and other enterovirus(EV) was detected by Real time PCR technique.Results A total of 3 503 suspected HFMD cases were found,and 2 720 cases were identified.The main pathogen of HFMD in Liuzhou city was change every year from 2013 to 2016,in addition to EV71 and CoxA16,there was a higher proportion of EV.HFMD was a seasonal disease,most cases occurred from March to September.The children under 5 years old,especially 1-3 years old were the main patients,and male patients was higher than female.Severe and death HFMD was EV71,but death HFMD had no CoxA16.Conclusion EV was the main pathogen of mild HFMD in Liuzhou city from 2013 to 2016,but the pathogenic spectrum was changing every yeas.EV71 was the main pathogen of severe and death HFMD.

Objective To research and develop a data collection and management system for water meters, electric meters and oxygen gauges within the hospital intranet and perform an interface to the reckon of No.1 Military Project to make sure the accruracy of reckon entry. Methods Terminal equipment is water meters, electric meters and oxygen gauges with RS485 long-distance transmission interface. All the long-distance transmission meters for each independent reckon unit are connected to a single or a group of Comport-Network transformers. The data collected by data collection software will then periodically transmit and save the equipment data in a single or multiple special datatables built on No.1 Military database platform. Results This technology has been applied to the newly built in -patient building. Conclusion The interface designed to integrate decentralized equipment and data into the hospital's local area network using Comport- Network will have extensive application and promising marketing prospect.

Objective To predict and screen the B-cell epitopes on nucleoprotein(NP)of human avian H5N1 virus strain.Methods As NP nucleotide sequences of strain A/GD/01/06(H5N1)were sequenced,B-cell epitopes were predicted by the analysis of the flexible regions of secondary structure for NPprotein and by screening on B-cell epitopes for NP protein with methods of Hydrophilicity Plot by KyteDoolittle,Surface Probability Plot by Emini,and Antigenic Index by Jameson-Wolf.Then a screening method was established by Hierarchical cluster,Bivariate correlate and Quartiles in SPSS13.0.and the variation of amino acids in NP protein was appraised in epitope prediction.Resuits The computer-predicted most possible epitopes for NP protein were located within or nearby its N-terminal 317-326,452-457,467-473,367-370,491-498,375-378,171-177,48-53,245-250.76-104 and so on.NP protein in A/GD/01/06(H5N1)increased a glycoprotein domain(NES368-370)by the substitution of N370S and changed the bio-features.Conclusion Stepwise prediction of the B-cell epitopes for the NP protein based on multiple parameters is helpful for the molecular-immunology and drug-screening,and the substitution of N370 S in NP of A/GD/01/06(H5N1)varied its antigenicity but didn't change the epitope size(SNEN367-370).

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of injection itraconazole in treatment of 17 patients suffering invasive pulmonary fungal infections(IPFI).Methods Seventeen patients suffering IPFI were treated with 200 mg injection itraconazole,twice a day on the first two days,then once a day.During the treatment,the symptoms and signs were recorded.Results The effective rate and mortality in this trial with injection itraconazole were 64.7%(11/17)and 17.6%(3/17)respectively.The severe side effect was not found.Conclusion injection itraconazole is an effective therapy for IPFI.

The DNA fragment RM07 was isolated from halophilic archaea Halobacterium halobium, which can function as promoter not only in halophilic archaea, but also in Escherichia coli as eubacterial promoter. Sequencing analysis indicated that it possessed the typical consensus sequences (-35 and -10) of bacterial gene promoter, which was confirmed by further deletion analysis: With its -35 sequence deleted and -10 sequence left,DNA fragment RM07a nearly cannot initiate transcription;With its both -35 and -10 sequences,RM07b DNA fragment could be active as promoter at a level even higher than RM07. Our research also showed that the promoter function of RM07 fragment in Escherichia coli was under the control of environmental factors,especially its positive correlation with the increasing concentration of sodium chloride. Therefore, RM07 DNA fragment may be potential1 novel promoter source for constructing double-function vectors. It also has special significance in elucidating the issues of the fusing characteristics of archaea and lateral gene transfer between archaea and bacteria.
