Haemophilus influenzae (Hi) is a pathogen exclusively found in humans. It causes a wide range of infections from the upper respiratory tract to serious invasive diseases. Such as pneumonia, septicemia and meningitis. Strains of Hi are usually classif ied into six serotypes a to f and nontypeable H. influenzae (NTHI) according to the antigenicities and compositions of their polysaccharide capsules. Hib was a common cause of serious infections in younger children. The polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccines against Hib had almost eliminated H. influenzae as a cause of pediatric meningitis. However, NTHI remains an important pathogen, particularly in children and the elderly. Efforts to understand and control NTHI disease have been hampered by the diversity of these bacteria. This review introduced the study progress about pathogenic mechanism of NTHI. In order to provide the help for development of vaccine, clinic treatment and prevent the occurrence of diseases causing by NTHI.

Virus-like particles (VLPs) structurally mimic the authentic virus whereas contain no viral genome. VLPs technique plays an important role in basic research such as virus assembly and virus morphology diversity. With special immunology properties, VLPs vaccine can induce immune response effectively. VLPs can act as adjuvant by regulating dendritic cells. Other adjuvant or polypeptide can be integrated into VLPs to construct chimeric vaccines. With the capability of packaging nucleic acid or other small molecules, VLPs can be used for vehicles to deliver these substances under suitable conditions. VLPs can substitute natural virus in immunology assay.

105 copies/mL would develop liver-related complications, such as cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma and liver failure. Available evidences indicate that control of HBV replication with antiviral drugs can decrease the incidence of these complications and mortality.

Objective To know the epidemiological characteristics of rubella case reported in Songyang Couny in 2004, and to know new ways of rubella control. Method To analyze the epidemiology on the rubella cases reported in Songyang Couny in 2004. Results In 2004, 195 rubella cases were reported, and the reported rubella incidence was 84.42/100,000. The rubella cases were mainly primary and middle school students,which were 180 cases. The rubella cases occurred from January to June, and 64.10% cases occurred in April. There were 12 rubella outbreaks with 181 cases in the rural areas. For the immunity history of rebulla vaccine of 181 cases, 48.07% cases were unvaccinated, 51.93% cases were unknown. The immunization coverage rate of rubella vaccine of students in rural areas (20%) was obviously lower than that of students in the urban areas (92%). Conclusion The main reasons of the high rubella incidence in Songyang County in 2004 were the low coverage rate of rubella vaccine and poor living accommodation for the primary and middle school students in the rural areas, and it was effective to adopt comprehensive measures such as emergent vaccination to control rubella outbreak.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of rubella outbreaks from 1998 to 2006,and to evaluate the effect of rubella control in Jinan.Methods The data from routine report system for infections disease and rubella surveillance system were collected and a descriptive epidemiological analysis were conducted.Results There were 74 rubella outbreaks with 1,212 cases|which accounted for 73.10% (1212/1658)of tolal cases from 1998 to 2006.All outbreaks occurred in native population.The age distribution was dominated by groups of 5-14,15-19,and 20-29 years old,ant they accounted for 50.50%,45.21%,and 3.80% of the total cases respectively.In all outbreak cases,only 0.49% were immunized,93.65% didn't immunized, and 5.86% were unknown.43 outbreaks occurred in middle school.Conclusion The adolescents were key population for rubella outbreak prevention.And the most effective strategy for reducing the incidence of rubella and outbreaks are to keep high quality routine coverage of rubella vaccine.

Objective To observe epidemic status and the types of the influenza virus, to analyse influenza epidemic trends in Tianshui City, and to provide basis for influenza prevention and control. Methods Throat swab specimens of influenza cases in pilot hospitals and area of influenza-like a typical outbreak in Nov. 2005-Oct. 2008 was tested by chicken embryo and MDCK cells.The identifi cation of the isolates was carried out by hemagglutination and hemagglutination inhibition test. The separation of strains were sent to the National Influenza Center to conduct a review appraisal. Results 1819 throat swab specimens of influenza-like were collected and 247 were isolated. Isolation rate was 13.58%. There were 36 strains (14.57%) of A (H1N1) subtype, 75 strains (30.36%) of A (H3N2) subtype and 136 (Victoria department 121, Yamagata department 15) strain (55.06%) of B subtype. Conclusion There were three epidemic types of influenza virus types-A (H1N1), A (H3N2) and B in Tianshui. Virus were epidemic at the same time or alternating at different intensity in different years. Outbreaks of influenza have occurred in rural primary and secondary schools, and B subtype was dominating.

10%～20% of acute clinical sporatic hepatitis is hepatitis E (HE). HE has a severe diaease low mortality in general population of about 0.5～1.5%. It has been reported as severe disease and the mortality increased to 20% in pregnant women and old people. China is high-epidemic for hepatitis E virus (HEV). HEV is mainly transmitted through faecaloral route,data also showed that HEV could be transferred through blood donation. The epidemiology,diagnostics and vaccine development of HE is reviewed in this paper.

Hepatitis A is one of the global public health problems,and China has high prevalence. In order to decrease the incidence of hepatitis A,China has integrated Hepatitis A vaccine into Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) in 2007. The paper will provide some ideas on the immunogenicity and impact factors of the different types of hepatitis A vaccines that are used in China.

Objective To ensure the quality of live attenuated measles vaccine on the market,viral titers were determined as the market surveillance test.Methods The measles vaccine was sampled from sites located in 24 provinces (cities,autonomous regions) of China,including provincial CDC,municipal CDC,county CDC,and primary users.The virus titer of samples was tested to evaluate the quality status of measles vaccine on the market.Results For all the 54 lots of measles vaccine sampled in this study,the virus titers were in compliance with the requirements of the China Pharmacopeia Vol.III (2005 edition).In comparison with the original test results provided by the manufacturers,the mean virus titer was decreased 0.2 lg?0.3.Conclusion Viral titers of measles vaccine batches sampled from the market were all in compliance with the requirements of the China Pharmacopeia Vol.III (2005 edition).It showed that the measles vaccine in China market has good stability,and the cold chain system for measles vaccine conveyance and storage could ensure the vaccine efficacy.

Objectives To understand the epidemiological characteristics of Japanese Encephalitis in Shanghai and to provide evidence for preventing JE.Methods Epidemic characteristics,JEV antibody in healthy population and swine infection rate in Shanghai were analyzed by methods of field survey,serology and molecular biology.Results JE incident rate in Shanghai was 0.077/100,000 in 2006;and 0.129/100,000 in 2007.Antibody positive rate before JE epidemic fastigium was 60.39%;postive rate after epidemic was 85.44%.JE IgG positive rate was 26.92% in 3-month swine and 14.86% in swine for sale;JE Gene in mosquito was analyzed for type 1.Conclusion The JE prevalence rate is relatively low in Shanghai.JE antibody positive rate is high in Shanghai population.Swine as a media is infected by JE virus.The JE virus in mosquitoes belongs to genotype 1.
