Objective:To analyze the prevalence of human respiratory syncytial virus(RSV)and the evolutionary characteristics of the adhesion glycoprotein(G)gene in Xi'an from 2023 to 2024.Methods:Respiratory specimens were collected from patients with acute respiratory infections in Xi'an between October 2023 to October 2024. RSV nucleic acid screening was performed using real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR;full-length G gene sequencing was conducted on nucleic acid-positive specimens. Genotyping characterization of the obtained sequences was performed using Nextclade v3.10.0 software.Results:A total of 2 548 respiratory tract infection samples were collected,with 104 cases(4.08%,104/2 548)testing positive for RSV. The highest RSV positivity rate was observed in children aged ≤1 year(12.24%,18/147),and significant difference in positivity rates were found among age groups(χ 2=37.868, P<0.001). Since October 2023,RSV has seen an epidemic peak during January to February 2024,and gradually declined thereafter,with no positive cases from May to September 2024. Among the 43 RSV-positive samples,12 strains were identified as subtype A(all genotype A.D.3),and 31 strains were subtype B(14 genotype B.D.4.1.1 and 17 genotype B.D.E.1). Conclusion:From October 2023 to October 2024,RSV had an epidemic peak in January and February in Xi'an,with subtype B being the predominant circulating type.

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of multiple cytogenetic and molecular genetic techniques in the diagnosing of chromosomal microstructural abnormalities.Methods:The proband was a 30-year-old man. He went to Reproductive Medicine Center of Shenzhen Zhongshan Urology Hospital in July 2021 because of a 7-year history of primary infertility. Chromosome karyotype was analyzed by conventional G-banding technique. One case was found to be suspected of microstructural aberration in X chromosome. The origin and structural characteristics of this X chromosome structural aberration was identified by high-resolution G-banding, copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq), C-banding and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The pregnancy outcome of this case was followed up. Results:Conventional G-banding karyotype of peripheral blood lymphocytes was initially diagnosed as 46, Y, ?inv(X)(p22.3p22.2). The final karyotype of proband was interpreted as 46, Y, der(X) t(X; Y)(p22.3; q12) mat by high-resolution G-banding karyotype analysis, CNV-seq, C-banding analysis and FISH detection. His spouse had conceived singleton pregnancy via in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. Prenatal diagnosis had been performed. Karyotype of amniotic fluid was 46, X, der(X) t(X; Y)(p22.3; q12) pat. No structural malformation was detected prenatally by ultrasound. The neonate was phenotypically normal one month after birth. Conclusion:The combined application of multiple cytogenetic and molecular genetic techniques can provide a reliable technical platform for characterizing the microscopic structural aberrations of chromosomes, and an important genetic basis for exploring the phenotype, prognosis and offspring risk of such patients.

Background Pesticides like organophosphorus and pyrethroids are extensively utilized, and associated potential human health risks arising from multi-route exposure, including environmental sources and dietary intake, cannot be overlooked. Conducting human exposure studies using pesticide exposure biomarkers is essential for an objective evaluation of human pesticide exposure levels. Objective To develop a rapid and precise liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the detection of 12 pesticide metabolites in urine, including 5 metabolites of organophosphorus pesticide, 4 metabolites of pyrethroid pesticide, 2 metabolites of herbicides, and 1 metabolite of insecticide. Methods After overnight enzymatic hydrolysis, urine samples were subjected to extraction and purification using Oasis HLB 96-well solid-phase extraction. Subsequently, the samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and quantified using the isotope internal standard method. The developed method was employed to analyze 143 urine samples from a general population to assess its effectiveness and to evaluate pesticide exposure levels. Results All 12 target compounds exhibited good linear ranges, with their correlation coefficients of calibration curves exceeding 0.999. The limits of detection (LOD) ranged from 0.02 to 0.19 μg·L−1, while the limits of quantitation (LOQ) ranged from 0.06 to 0.27 μg·L−1. The recoveries at three spiked levels ranged from 84% to 112%, and the inter- and intra- day precisions of targeted analystes were 0.43%-9.6% and 1.6%-9.7% respectively. Using this method, 143 urine samples from residents in Jiangsu region were analyzed, and 11 pesticides were detected except N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET). Conclusion The established method of solid-phase extraction combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry has the characteristics of low detection limit, good repeatability, and high throughput, which is suitable for quantitative detection of selected 12 pesticides in large batches of human urine samples, and provides technical support for pesticide internal exposure monitoring and health risk assessment.

Objective To analyze the pathogenic composition of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) cases and the antibody level of enterovirus 71 (EV-A71) in healthy people in Xi'an in 2022, so as to provide evidence for the prevention and control of HFMD. Methods Anal swabs or stool specimens of HFMD cases were collected. RT-PCR was used to detect enterovirus (EV) and serotype was identified. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect EV-A71 IgG antibody levels in healthy people. Results A total of 172 positive cases were detected from 274 HFMD clinical specimens with a total detection rate of 62.77%, including 1 case of EV-A71 (0.58%), 95 cases of CV-A16 (55.23%), 64 cases of CV-A6 (37.21%), and 1 case of CV-A10(0.58%). CV-A16 was the dominant pathogen in spring and summer, and CV-A6 was the dominant pathogen in autumn and winter(χ2= 64.376,P<0.001). The age of HFMD cases caused by CV-A16 was older than the cases caused by CV-A6(t = 2.709,P = 0.007). The positive rate of EV-A71 IgG antibodies in healthy people was 36.92% (168/455). The positive rate of EV-A71 IgG antibodies in men (32.35%) was lower than that in women (43.72%), and the difference was statistically significant (χ2= 6.605 , P = 0.014). The positive rate of EV-A71 IgG antibodies in people of all ages ranged from 21.95% to 54.78%, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2= 27.623 , P<0.001). Conclusion The main pathogens of hand, foot and mouth disease in Xi'an in 2022 are CV-A16 and CV-A6 . The positive rate of EV-A71 IgG antibodies in children under 5 years old is low , and EV-A71 vaccination should be strengthened.

ObjectiveTo explore new targets and herbal medicines of total ginsenosides in ameliorating alcoholic hepatitis (AH) by data mining and experimental validation and to provide new directions for the clinical treatment of AH. MethodGSE28619 was selected as the test set from the GEO database and GSE83148 and GSE103580 were selected as the validation sets. The limma package and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) were employed to identify the AH-related differentially expressed genes and modular genes, and Venny was used to extract the common genes. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed and the enrichment analysis was carried out. The hub genes were further screened and evaluated for their diagnostic value. After validation with the datasets, new potential targets of AH and traditional Chinese medicine were predicted. Molecular docking between the targets and active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine was performed, and the results were validated by experiments. Eight out of 48 SD rats were randomly selected into a blank group and received an equal amount of normal saline. The rest rats were subjected to modeling with ethanol by gavage and then randomized into low- (10 mg·kg-1), medium- (20 mg·kg-1), and high-dose (40 mg·kg-1) total ginsenosides, model, and positive control (metadoxine, 117 mg·kg-1) groups. After 3 weeks of gavage, serum samples were collected for the measurement of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, and liver samples were collected for hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Western blot and Real-time PCR were employed to determine the protein and mRNA levels, respectively, of potential targets in the liver tissue. ResultData mining predicted the potential genes: Proto-oncogene FOS and collagen type Ⅰ alpha 2 (COL1A2). Experimental validation showed that the liver injury was alleviated after drug administration compared with that after modeling. The serum AST and ALT levels were reduced after drug administration. The protein and mRNA levels of FOS were significantly up-regulated, while those of COL1A2 were down-regulated after drug administration. ConclusionTotal ginsenosides ameliorate HA via FOS and COL1A2.
