Objective:To analyze the prevalence and genotypes of human pegivirus-1 (HPgV-1) among HIV-1-infected men who have sex with men (MSM) in Zhuhai, aiming to elucidate the impact of HPgV-1 on the progression of AIDS.Methods:This study collected 934 serum specimens positive for antibodies against HIV-1 for viral RNA extraction from MSM in Zhuhai from 2012 to 2020. HPgV-1 5′UTR was amplified by nested PCR and then E gene was amplified by nested PCR and sequenced in the 5′UTR-positive specimens. A phylogenetic tree was constructed to analyze genotype distribution. The influence of HPgV-1 infection on the progression of AIDS was evaluated through analyzing HIV-1 viral load and CD4 + cell counts in patients in the early stage of AIDS before antiviral treatment. Results:The positive rate of HPgV-1 in MSM with HIV-1 infection in Zhuhai was 31.05%. A total of 273 valid sequences were obtained after amplification. The main genotype of HPgV-1 was G3 (252, 92.31%), which was highly homologous to the epidemic strains in China and Japan in recent years, followed G2 (21, 7.69%), which was highly homologous to the epidemic strains in France and America. HPgV-1 strains of G1, G4, G5, G6 and G7 genotypes were not detected. There was no significant difference in HIV-1 virus load or CD4 + cell counts between patients with HIV-1 infection alone and those with HIV-1 and HPgV-1 (G3 or G2 genotype) co-infection. Conclusions:According to the data of this study, HPgV-1 infection could not delay the progression of AIDS in MSM in the early stage of AIDS before antiviral therapy. The widespread HPgV-1 of G3 genotype in China did not have a significant impact on the progression of AIDS. Therefore, a systematic in-depth research on various genotypes of HPgV-1 and further study on the pathogenic mechanism of HPgV-1, especially in patients with HPgV-1 and HIV co-infection, were needed to understanding the interaction mechanism between different genotypes of HPgV-1 and HIV-1.

Objective:To analyze the detection effect of novel coronavirus 2019 nucleic acid in throat swabs and nasal swabs of COVID-19 cases.Methods:Throat swabs and nasal swabs were simultaneously collected from 541 cases of suspected cases and close contacts. Real time PCR was used to detect novel coronavirus 2019 nucleic acid. The positive rate of nucleic acid and Ct values of ORF1ab gene and N gene were analyzed. Results:A total of 43 cases were confirmed positive by nucleic acid detection result ; 35 cases were positive and the positive rate was 6.47% in throat swabs, while 33 cases were positive and the positive rate was 6.10% in nasal swabs. There was no significant difference in the positive rate between the two types of samples ( χ2=0.06, P=0.80). The diagnostic consistency of the two specimens was good ( Kappa=0.72). Ct values of ORF1ab and N genes between the two groups were not significantly different, either. Conclusions:There was no significant difference in the detection of novel coronavirus 2019 between throat swabs and nasal swabs from COVID-19 patients by real-time PCR.

objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of pneumonia in patients with aplastic anemia for improving early prevention and clinical diagnosis. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted for patients with aplastic anemia treated in our hosipital from June 2013 to April 2018. The clinical data of pneumonia were reviewed and analyzed in terms of radiological findings, pathogen distribution, and related risk factors. Results The clinical manifestations are atypical in patients with aplastic anemia. The imaging findings suggested that the infection was mainly bilateral pulmonary infection. The common pathogens were gram-negative bacteria such as Klebsiella pneumoniae. Disease type, agranulocytosis and low serum albumin level were independent risk factors for pneumonia in patients with aplastic anemia. Regular immunosuppressive therapy is a protective factor for pneumonia in patients with aplastic anemia. Conclusions The clinical manifestations of pneumonia are diverse in patients with aplastic anemia. The pathogens are mainly gram-negative bacteria. Empirical use of β-lactam-β-lactamase inhibitor combinations or quinolones is beneficial for controlling infection. Regular immunosuppressive therapy, recovery of hematopoietic function, nutritional support are effective measures to reduce the incidence of pneumonia in patients with aplastic anemia.

Objective:
To describe the molecular epidemiological characteristics of norovirus gastroenteritis outbreaks in Zhuhai from 2011 to 2016.
Methods:
Anal swab specimens were collected from 576 cases with 56 outbreaks of acute norovirus gastroenteritis from 2011 to 2016. Specimens were tested by real-time RT-PCR. Three to four of norovirus positive specimens were selected from every outbreak to amplify the VP1 gene by RT-PCR and one strain was chosen randomly from every outbreaks to determine the genotype by phylogenetic tree analysis.
Results:
Eight genotypes were identified from 56 outbreaks and all of them belonged to GⅡ genogroup. The genotype of norovirus strain changed with prevalence time. The GⅡ.4/2006b was dominant from 2011 to 2012, and replaced by GⅡ.4/Sydney _2012 during the 2012—2013 norovirus season, and both of them never appeared after Feb. 2013. GⅡ.17 was the only genotype during the 2014—2015 norovirus season. All the 7 outbreaks occurred from 2015 to 2016 were caused by GⅡ.3 norovirus. The GⅡ.17and GⅡ.3 were identified from Apr. to Sep. 2016; GⅡ.p16-GⅡ.2 were the only genotype in 12 outbreaks from Nov. to Dec. 2016. The GⅠ genogrope was never identified from 2011 to 2016 in Zhuhai.
Conclusions
The Norovirus GⅡ was the only pathogeny which caused the outbreaks of norovirus gastroenteritis. The recombinant norovirus strain GⅡ.p16-GⅡ.2 emerged and caused large outbreaks in the last two months of 2016 in Zhuhai; several recombinant strains of the GⅡ.p16 RdRp gene were found now, which suggests that attention should be focused on the prevalence and evolution of the recombinant norovirus.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of non-invasive cardiac output parameters:cardiac index (CI) and minute distance (MD), in premature infants with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and determine the cut-off value. Methods Clinical data of 98 premature infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit from January 2015 to June 2015 were collected. These premature infants were divided into the treated PDA group (n=30),the untreated PDA group (n=28) and the normal premature group (n=40) based on the results of echocardiogram in the first three days after birth and the use of drugs. Non-invasive cardiac output parameters were measured in the first three days after birth. The data were analyzed by t test, analysis of variance and SNK-q test. The diagnostic value of CI and MD for PDA was analyzed by the receiver operating characteristic curve. Results By preliminary analysis of the ROC curve,CI and MD were the most representative parameters for the diagnosis of PDA which need to be treated clinically, we thus chose CI and MD in this study. The aortic and pulmonary arterial CI and MD in the treated PDA group were significantly higher than in the untreated PDA group and the normal premature group (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the untreated PDA group and the normal premature group in the aortic and pulmonary arterial CI and MD (all P>0.05). The cut-off value of the aortic CI and MD was 2.95 L/(min·m2) and 21.50 m/min, respectively, while that of the pulmonary arterial CI and MD was 4.55 L/(min·m2) and 26.50 m/min, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the combined aortic CI and MD for the treated PDA group were 0.90 and 0.82, and those of combined pulmonary arterial CI and MD were 0.87 and 0.82;and those of combined aortic and pulmonary arterial CI and MD were 0.80 and 0.88, respectively. Conclusions The non-invasive cardiac output parameters CI and MD have good diagnostic value for the PDA needing clinical treatment, and the combined use of the two parameters can improve specificity, and help formulate the early treatment strategy for premature infants with PDA. When aortic CI was ≥ 2.95 L/(min·m2) and MD was ≥ 21.50 m/min, a preliminary diagnosis of the PDA needing clinical treatment, can be made, and simultaneously when the pulmonary arterial CI was ≥4.55 L/(min·m2) and MD was≥26.50 m/min, the arterial duct should be closed timely.
