AIM:A strain was isolated and identified as the H3N8 subtype of the avian influenza virus from a sick chicken at a farm in Yangjiang,Guangdong Province,named A/chicken/Yangjiang/552/2023(abbreviated as YJ/552).The aim of this research is to determine its genetic evolution,biological properties and pathogenicity in hamsters.This study may provide a theoretical strategy for preventing and treating the H3N8 subtype avian influenza virus-induced epidemic.METHODS:A strain of H3N8 avian influenza virus from chickens was characterised by phylogenetic analy-sis,antigenic diversity,receptor-binding specificity,neuraminidase activity,replication,and transmission in hamsters and a systematic pathological analysis was conducted.RESULTS:This novel avian influenza virus was generated through complex recombination of Eurasian avian H3 genes,North American avian N8 genes and six internal genes of H9N2 sub-type AIV.The cleavage site of the outer protein,HA,was PEKQTR↓GLF,which is characteristic of the low pathogenic avian influenza virus.The HA gene of YJ/552 exhibited the highest nucleotide homology with A/China/ZMD-22-2/2022(H3N8)at 99.09%,while the NA gene showed the highest homology with A/chicken/Dongguan/879/2022(H3N8)at 99.01%.This strain preferentially binds to avian-type receptors and could bind to human-type receptors.This virus could effectively replicate in the trachea and lungs of inoculated and contact hamsters.CONCLUSION:YJ/552 is a recombi-nant H3N8 avian influenza virus replicated in the upper respiratory system and transmitted in hamsters.This study pro-vides data support for the early warning and prevention of H3 subtype avian influenza viruses.

Objective:To construct a chemiluminescense immune quantification assay based one paired mAbs against complexed prostate specific antigen ( c-PSA).Methods:Six week-old female BALB/c mice were immunized with the commercial c-PSA antigen.After serum titer reaching a platform stage ,the spleen was immunized and fused with mouse myeloma cell lines ( Sp2/0 ) .The hybridoma were screened by indirect ELISA ,and eight generated antibodies were paired to obtain a quantitative analysis of the chemical luminescence.Results:7D6 specifically recognized c-PSA,while 1A10 recognized total PSA(t-PSA).And the paired antibody 1A10/7D6 were determined to successfully construct a chemiluminescense immune response quantitative detection method through the detection of c-PSA standard and clinical serum samples .had,positive samples have statistically significant difference ( P<0.000 1 ) with negative samples.And the correlation coefficient R 2 was 0.97 between our c-PSA quantitative results and that of the Siemens c-PSA chemiluminescense immunoassay kit .The detection linear range was 0.1-100 ng/ml,and the sensitivity was 0.005 ng/ml.Conclusion:The paired monoclonal antibodies specifically detecting c-PSA were generated and a c-PSA chemiluminescense immunoassay were developed in this study .The detection capability of our method was comparable with that of the international commercial kit .

Objective To evaluate the effect and safety of Xuesaitong injection (XST) in stable angina. Methods The effects on XST and(or) isosorbide mononitrate injection(IM) were compared with that of placebo in 147 cases with stable angina.40 cases were performed XST 10ml per day,65 cases IM 20mg per day and 42 cases both XST and IM. Results XST injection was effective on relieving symptoms,improving curative effect of electrocardiogram, decreasing levels of serum TCLDL and adhesive rate of platelet, union of XST and IM might obtain better curative efect. Conclusion XST is an effective and safe drug in stable angina.
