Objective:To investigate the distribution of HIV-1 genotypes and drug resistance in newly diagnosed HIV-1 patients in Baoding in 2020.Methods:A self-developed method was used to amplify the pol gene sequence of HIV-1, and the sequencing results were analyzed by phylogenetic analysis and compared with the Stanford drug resistance database to determine the HIV-1 subtypes and gene mutations. Results:A total of 96 patients with HIV-1 infection were recruited in this study, and 83 pol gene sequences were successfully obtained. In the study population, 88 (91.7%) were male with an average age of 39 years and 54 (56.3%) were married. Most of the patients were infected through sexual contact (95.8%, 92/96), and 75.0% (72/96) were through homosexual transmission. Phylogenetic analysis showed that various HIV-1 subtypes were detected and among them, CRF01_AE (51.8%, 43/83), CRF07_BC (24.1%, 20/83) and B subtype (10.8%, 9/83) were the most epidemic strains. Moreover, the subtypes of newly identified recombinant strains in recent years accounted for 13.3% (11/83). Drug resistance test results showed that the pre-treatment drug resistance rate in newly diagnosed HIV-1 patients was 8.4% (7/83), and the drug resistance rates to protease inhibitor (PIs), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) and integrase inhibitors (INIs) were 3.6% (3/83), 1.2% (1/83) and 3.6% (3/83), respectively. Conclusions:The HIV-1 subtypes in the newly diagnosed population in Baoding in 2020 were complex and diverse. There were many unique recombinant strains and drug-resistant strains. Therefore, it was necessary to strengthen drug resistance monitoring as well as the prevention and control of HIV-1 infection in this area.

Objective To investigate the protective and therapeutic effect of chalcone ketones compound(code:L2H17,hereinafter referred to as L2)on mice infected with influenza A virus.Methods BALB/c mice were randomly divided into six groups:normal group,model group,positive drug-treated group,L2 treated groups (3 different concentrations).The mice were adapted for 72 hours,before a model was established by intranasal infection.Mice in each group were given medicine by i.g once daily for 6 days starting 24 h before virus challenge.Survival was observed daily for 14 days.The mortality,median survival time,rate of death protection and rate of prolonging life were determined to observe the therapeutic effect of chalcone(L2) against influenza virus infection.The whole lungs were taken under aseptic conditions on days 3 and 5 post-infection to calculat lung indexes and lung index inhibition.The left lung was fixed with 4% formaldehyde for pathological biopsy,the right lung was soaked in RNAstore to detect lung tissue viral load,and the double antibody sandwich ELISA method was used to detect the expression of inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α in order to observe the therapeutic effect of L2 on viral pneumonia caused by influenza virus infection.Results Compared with the model group,the L2 80 mg/kg treatment group exhibited significant increases in median survival time(11 d),the rate of death protection (50%),and the rate of prolonging life(24.1%)but a moderate 50% decrease in mortality.In addition,the lung index decreased significantly both on d 3 and 5 after virus infection (P<0.05).The pathological results also improved significantly.The L2 80 mg/kg dose group had a significantly lower viral load of lung tissue on d 3 and 5 post-infection(P<0.05).Compared with model group,the expression of inflammatory factor IL-6 became lower to different degrees.Conclusion L2 has a protective effect on mice infected with influenza virus by reducing the degree of pathological changes of pneumonia caused by influenza viruses.

A cold-adapted (ca), temperature sensitive (ts), live attenuated influenza B virus strain B/Ann Arbor/1/66 was chosen for influenza virus rescue research, in which six internal gene segments, PB1, PB2, PA, NP, M, NS, were fully synthesized and nine amino acid substitutions were artificially alter by human intervention. The resultant B/Ann Arbor/1/66 plasmids were named as pAB121-PB1, pAB122-PB2, pAB123-PA, pAB124-HA, pAB125-NP, pAB126-NA, pAB127-M and pAB128-NS, respectively. A recombinant influenza A virus was previously generated entirely from cloned cDNA. An infectious recombinant influenza B virus was generated here, and designated as rMDV-B, by plasmid-based reverse genetics. The rMDV-B virus contained HA and NA genes from an epidemic influenza B vires strain B/Malaysia/2506/2004 in the background of internal genes derived from influenza B virus strain B/Ann Arbor/1/66. HA titer of rMDV-B in MDCK cells and embryonated chicken eggs ranged from 1 : 64 to 1 : 512. The results may allow an effective live influenza B vaccine to be produced from a single master strain, providing a model for the design of future live human influenza vaccines.
