This study was undertaken to investigate mother-to-infant transmission of human parvovirus B19 and the significance of prevalence of B19 virus in abnormal fetuses in Guandong. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR)was established to detect parvovirus B19 DNA in 700 sera from 350 maternal-infant pair groups. The prevalence of B19 virus DNA was 1.14% (4/350)and 0.28%(1/350)in the sera of pregnant women and cord blood of their neonates respectively. Parvovirus B19 DNA sequences were also detected in abnormal fetuses and new-born by PCR. The positive results were obtained in 5 samples of fetal tissues from 17 abnormal fetuses and in 3 those of neonatal tissues from 7 cases of neonatal death. The amplified products of PCR were identified to be the target DNA with Hae Ⅲ digestion. By in situ hybridization ,parvovirus DNA could be detected mainly in the nuclei of immature hematopoetic cells within fetal brain or spleen whose PCR tests were positive. The study results suggest that human parvovirus B19 infection does exist in maternal-infant transmission in Guangdong and might lead to harm on fetuses,but the prevalence rate of B19 virus may be very low. The evaluation of B19 virus infection might depend on reliable assay to determine present infection or past infection.

Objective:
To investigate the prevalence of daily smoking among residents at ages of 15 years and older in Wuhan City, so as to provide insights into tobacco control.
Methods:
A total of 2 700 permanent residents at ages of 15 years and older were sampled using a multistage random sampling method in three districts of Wuhan City in July, 2019. Residents' demographics, tobacco use, secondhand smoke exposure and awareness of harmful effects of tobacco were collected using the core questionnaire of the Global Adult Tobacco Survey, and the factors affecting daily smoking were identified among residents at ages of 15 years and older using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 2 700 questionnaires were allocated, and 2 551 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 94.48%. The respondents included 1 272 men (49.86%) and 1 279 women (50.14%), and the proportion of daily smoking was 19.84% among the respondents, with a mean daily tobacco use of 16.6 cigarettes. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified men (OR=66.191, 95%CI: 25.344-172.873), ages of 45 to 64 years (OR=2.586, 95%CI: 1.158-5.775), farmers (OR =8.477, 95%CI: 1.126-63.786), secondhand smoke exposure at home (OR=9.395, 95%CI: 5.401-16.340), secondhand smoke exposure in workplaces (OR=1.923, 95%CI: 1.081-3.423) and no smoking at home (OR=0.459, 95%CI: 0.277-0.763) as factors affecting daily smoking among residents at ages of 15 years and older in Wuhan City.
Conclusions
There is a high likelihood of daily smoking among men, the middle-aged and elderly, farmers and individuals with exposure to secondhand smoke in workplaces at ages of 15 years and older in Wuhan City. Health education pertaining to tobacco control requires to be reinforced among high-risk populations, and creation of a tobacco-free home is recommended in public places and workplaces based on the complete smoking ban.

This study is designed to investigate the effects of chinfloxacin hydrochloride (CFX) on the kinetics of HERG K+ channel. Whole cell patch clamp technique was used to record HERG K+ currents from HEK293 cells transiently transfected with cgi-HERG-GFP plasmids and channel kinetics were assessed in the absence and presence of CFX and moxifloxacin hydrochloride (MOX). Results demonstrated that the open state of HERG K+ channel was inhibited by CFX in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, with an IC50 of 162.1 +/- 14.2 micromol x L(-1), two folds higher than its positive control MOX. But there were no significant effects on channel kinetics. In addition, the inhibitory effect of CFX on HERG was enhanced when cells were subjected to altered extracellular K+ concentration.

OBJECTIVECongenital esophageal stenosis owing to tracheobronchial remnants (TBR) is a rare condition. This study was conducted to understand the clinical features of TBR.
METHODThe data of the four cases with TBR admitted to our hospital and 76 patients identified from the literature were reviewed. The clinical manifestation, X-ray, endoscopy, biopsy and treatment were studied retrospectively.
RESULTOf the total of 80 cases, 45 were male, 33 were female, and for 2 cases the gender was unknown. Symptoms of dysphagia and regurgitation developed at the age of 1-day to 12-month. Definitive treatment was carried out at the age of 1-month to 16-year. Twenty-seven patients had associated anomalies with esophageal atresia being the most prevalent. X-ray esophagography showed segmental stenosis at the distal third of the esophagus in all patients except three. An abrupt narrow segment at the lower esophagus with marked proximal dilatation was found in 32 cases. Esophagography of 12 cases showed distal esophageal stenosis with tapered narrowing. Esophagography of 20 cases showed flask-shaped shadow of distal esophageal stenosis and one patient showed linear projection of barium at the level of stenosis. Endoscopy found almost complete obstruction of the lower esophageal lumen without signs of the esophagitis or reflux. Esophagoscopic dilatation of the stenosis was attempted in 24 cases, but was ineffective, and 3 patients suffered esophageal perforation. Seventy-nine patients underwent resection of the stenotic segment. Histologic examination of the resected specimen showed cartilage, mucus glands, resembling bronchal tissue. Post-operative complication included anastomotic stenosis, anastomotic leakage, hiatal hernia, and gastroesophageal reflux.
CONCLUSIONTBR should be suspected in patients who present with a typical history of dysphagia after ingestion of solid food. Esophagography and esophagoscopy are the essential means for diagnosis. TBR should be different from achalasia and should be diagnosed by biopsy. Operation is the only choice of treatment.
