Shanghai Journal of Preventive Medicine 2024;36(9):868-873
ObjectiveTo analyze the hemagglutinin variation and the genetic evolution of A(H1N1)pdm09 influenza virus in Huzhou City, 2023. MethodsRespiratory tract specimens from two influenza monitoring hospitals were collected for the isolation of A(H1N1)pdm09 influenza virus and HA genome sequencing. MEGA 7.0 and BioAider were utilized to analyze genetic similarity, genetic evolution, antigen mutation sites, receptor binding sites, pathogenicity, and potential glycosylation sites of the influenza virus sequencing results. ResultsThe nucleotide and amino acid similarities between the 25 A(H1N1)pdm09 strains and the vaccine strain A/Wisconsin/67/2022 were 98.41% to 99.22% and 98.41% to 99.36%, respectively. These strains belonged to the 6B.1A.5a.2a evolutionary lineage. Notably, there were 19 amino acid variations in the HA protein, including substitutions of S137P and R142K in the epitope Ca2 cluster. Additionally, seven potential glycosylation sites were found in the HA protein, and no new or missing sites were observed in the 25 A(H1N1)pdm09 influenza virus isolates compared to the vaccine strains. Furthermore, no multiple continuous alkaline amino acids were detected in the HA cleavage site of the 25 isolates. ConclusionTheA(H1N1)pdm09 pandemic strain in 2023 closely matches the vaccine strain, indicating good protection against the currently circulatingA(H1N1)pdm09 influenza virus. The circulating A(H1N1)pdm09 strain in Huzhou is characterized as a low-pathogenic influenza virus.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mutation and genetic evolution of drug resistance gene of A(H1N1) pdm09 influenza pandemic strain in 2023 in Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. MethodsRespiratory tract specimens from 2 influenza monitoring hospitals were collected forA(H1N1) pdm09 influenza virus nucleic acid detection. Positive specimens were inoculated with MDCK cells for influenza virus isolation and sequencing. DNA Star 7.1 software and Mega 4.0 software were used to analyze the neuraminidase (NA) enzyme active site and the amino acid sites related to drug resistance in M2 protein. ResultsNucleotide homology and amino acid homology of NA between the isolated and the vaccine strains were 98.87%‒99.22% and 98.94%‒99.36%, respectively. The nucleotide homology range of M gene was 99.07% to 99.85%, and the amino acid homology range was 99.02%‒99.94%. The isolates and vaccine strains belong to the evolutionary clades of 6B.1A.5a.2a. The amino acids at the key sites of the enzyme activity center of NA were still highly conserved, and the 9 key amino acid sites related to NA inhibitor resistance did not change, but some mutations occurred at the non-enzyme active sites in some popular strains. The 5 amino acid sites related to drug resistance of M2 protein were not replaced, but the 31st amino acid sites changed from serine to asparagine. ConclusionThe A(H1N1) pdm09 pandemic strain in Huzhou in 2023 has high homology with the 2023‒2024 vaccine strain recommended by WHO. All endemic strains are resistant to amantadines.

Objective:To observe the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) at different frequencies on learning and memory abilities in rats during the early recovery phase of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and to explore the underlying mechanisms.Method:Successfully modelled MCAO rats were randomly divided into the model group,low-frequency group,high-frequency group,and sham-operated group was set up at the same time,with 12 rats in each group. The low-frequency group and high-frequency group were stimulated with a CCY-I transcranial magnetic stimulator 2 times/day for 14d;the low-frequency group was treated with 1Hz at the left prefrontal lobe of the rat's skull,and the high-frequency group was treated with 10Hz at the right prefrontal lobe. The model group and the sham-operated group were not treated but were subjected to the same conditions of handling and re-straint before returning to their cages. Neurobehavioral scores were recorded on the 1st and 14th day after the operation;the Morris water maze test was conducted on day 3—7 after the operation;TTC staining,PCR and Western blot to detect the mRNA and protein expression of key genes (Notch1,Hes1,Hes5) were performed at the end of the intervention on the 14th postoperative day. Result:①Neurological deficit scores:After 14 days of intervention,both the high-frequency and low-frequency groups showed a reduction in neurofunctional compared to the model group (P<0.05),with no significant dif-ference between the model group and high-frequency group (P>0.05). ②Morris water maze experiment:The av-erage escape latency during the directional navigation experiment was significantly reduced day by day in the low frequency group,high frequency group and sham operation group (P<0.05). The escape latency was short-er in the high-frequency group compared to the model group,and shorter in the low-frequency group com-pared to the high-frequency group (P<0.05). The number of platform crossings in the spatial exploration experi-ment showed no significant difference between low frequency group and sham operation group,high frequency group and model group (P>0.05). The high-frequency group and the model group had fewer crossing than the sham operation group,and the low-frequency group had more than the model group and high-frequency group (P<0.05). ③TTC staining:The infarct size in the low-frequency group and high-frequency group was signifi-cantly smaller than in the model group. ④PCR and Western blot:Compared to the model group,the high fre-quency group and the low frequency group had significantly increased mRNA and protein expression of Notch1,Hes1 and Hes5 (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the mRNA and protein expression of Notch1,Hes1 and Hes5 between the low frequency group and high frequency group (P>0.05).Conclusion:Both high and low frequency rTMS can improve the learning and memory abilities in MCAO rats,potentially by activating and increasing the expression of the Notch1 pathway in hippocampal tissues,which improves the synaptic plasticity of hippocampus.
