Currently, the immunization program has entered a new era of high-quality development. Implementing the standardized management of vaccination units is a necessary means to achieve the high-quality development of immunization programs. Although significant achievements have been made in vaccination work in China, there are still many urgent problems to be solved in vaccination work under the new situation, which poses new challenges to standardized management of vaccination units. This paper analyzes the problems faced by the standardized management of vaccination units based on a review of the work content at various stages of management, and discusses strategies and suggestions for the standardized management of vaccination units.

This study constructed a porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus(PRRSV)NADC30-like strain GP3 recombinant adenovirus vector vaccine through in vitro homologous re-combination to explore its immunological efficacy evaluation at the mouse level.Using type 5 ade-novirus as a vector,a recombinant adenovirus expressing PRRSV GP3 protein was prepared and i-dentified in vitro by fluorescence observation,PCR,and Western blot analysis.Immunize mice with recombinant adenovirus and detect humoral and cellular immune responses induced by recombi-nant adenovirus using indirect ELISA and ELISpot methods.The recombinant adenovirus rAdGP3 was identified by enzyme digestion,PCR,fluorescence and Western blot,indicating that the recom-binant adenovirus rAdGP3 was successfully constructed and packaged.After immunizing mice,spe-cific antibodies and neutralizing antibodies were produced,indicating that the recombinant adenovi-rus could elicit strong humoral immunity.ELISpot and lymphocyte proliferation assays showed that the recombinant adenovirus vaccine could stimulate the secretion of IFN-γ-specific T lymphocytes and induce the proliferation of lymphocytes,indicating that the recombinant adenovi-rus could enhance the level of cellular immune response.In this study,rAdGP3 recombinant adeno-virus was successfully constructed and had good immunogenicity at the mouse level,which provid-ed a reference for the development of novel PRRSV vaccines.

Objective:To analyze the genetic characteristics of varicella-zoster virus（VZV）in Anhui province from 2022 to 2023.Methods:Vesicle fluid and throat swab samples were collected from suspected varicella patients in Anhui province during 2022—2023. Fresh vesicle fluid samples were selected for VZV isolation，and real-time PCR was used for VZV nucleic acid detection. For positive samples，the region containing five single nucleotide polymorphism（SNP）sites in the open reading frame 22（ORF22）fragment was amplified，and PCR products were sequenced to identify viral genotypes. Reference sequences of VZV genotypes were downloaded from GenBank，sequence alignment and phylogenetic tree analysis were performed using Sequencher and MEGA5.0 software. Additionally，four SNP sites in ORF38 and ORF62 fragments were detected to distinguish vaccine strains from wild strains.Results:Among 96 samples from suspected varicella cases，55 of 61 vesicle fluid samples and 21 of 35 throat swab samples were positive for VZV nucleic acid. The virus isolation rate for vesicle fluid samples was 14.75%. Genetic sequencing was successful for 51 strains，all of which were wild strains belonging to the clade 2 genetic branch. Compared with the reference strain of clade 2，the nucleotide and amino acid homologies of the ORF22 fragment were 99.46%~100% and 98.39%~100%，respectively. One strain（2023VZVCZ45）exhibited an A→G mutation at site 37916.Conclusion:The prevalent VZV strains detected in Anhui province during 2022—2023 were all wild strains of clade 2，with no vaccine-associated cases identified.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of delayed replantation of degloving skin preserved at 4℃ in treatment of limb degloving injuries. METHODS: Between October 2020 and October 2023, 12 patients with limb degloving injuries were admitted. All patients had severe associated injuries or poor wound conditions that prevented primary replantation. There were 7 males and 5 females; age ranged from 29 to 46 years, with an average of 39.2 years. The causes of injury included machine entanglement in 6 cases, traffic accidents in 5 cases, and sharp instrument cuts in 1 case. Time from injury to hospital admission was 0.5-3.0 hours, with an average of 1.3 hours. Injury sites included upper limbs in 7 cases and lower limbs in 5 cases. The range of degloving skin was from 5 cm×4 cm to 15 cm×8 cm, and all degloving skins were intact. The degloving skin was preserved at 4℃. After the patient's vital signs became stable and the wound conditions improved, it was trimmed into medium-thickness skin grafts for replantation. The degloving skin was preserved for 3 to 7 days. At 4 weeks after replantation, the viability of the degloving skin grafts was assessed, including color, elasticity, and sensation of pain. The Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) was used to assess the scars of the skin grafts during follow-up. RESULTS: At 4 weeks after replantation, 8 cases of skin grafts completely survived and the color was similar with normal skin, with a survival rate of 66.67%. The elasticity of skin grafts (R0 value) ranged from 0.09 to 0.85, with an average of 0.55; moderate pain was reported in 4 cases, mild pain in 3 cases, and no pain in 5 cases. All patients were followed up 12 months. Over time, the VSS scores of all 12 patients gradually decreased, with a range of 4-11 at 12 months (mean, 6.8). CONCLUSION For limb degloving injuries that cannot be replanted immediately and do not have the conditions for deep low-temperature freezing preservation, the method of preserving the degloving skin at 4℃ for delayed replantation can be chosen.
