ObjectiveTo investigate the infection and genotypes of Wolbachia in Aedes albopictus. MethodsAdult and larval samples of Aedes albopictus were collected from different residential and wild areas from 2020 to 2021, Wolbachia surface protein (wsp) gene was amplified and genotyped for wAlbA and wAlbB by PCR, and sequenced for phylogenetic analysis. The difference of detection rate among different habitats, male and female adult mosquitoes, adult and larvae was compared by χ2 analysis. ResultsThe detection rate of Wolbachia in adult and larvae of Aedes albopictus were 43.5% (77/177) and 70.4% (190/270), respectively, with a statistically significant difference (χ2=32.086,P<0.001), and wAlbA and wAlbB were mainly detected together. The detection rate of Wolbachia in female and male Aedes albopictus were 50.7% (76/150) and 3.7% (1/27), respectively, with a statistically significant difference(χ2=20.533,P<0.001). The detection rate of adult Aedes albopictus in Songjiang wild area, residential area and Hongkou residential area were 91.7% (55/60), 18.8% (22/117) and 41.7% (30/72), respectively, with a statistically significant difference (χ2=54.322,P<0.001). Genotyping and phylogenetic analysis showed that adult and larvae of Aedes albopictus infected with Wolbachia were mainly wAlb A and wAlb B. In addition, some sequences formed clades independently, and the genetic distance from other sequences was relatively large. ConclusionInfection of Wolbachia in Aedes albopictus is relatively common in Songjiang District. The main genotypes are wAlb A and wAlb B and there may be other subtypes, which are worthy of further exploration and research.

Objective:To report the results of national surveillance on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical bacterial isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2021.Methods:The clinical bacterial strains isolated from blood culture from member hospitals of Blood Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System (BRICS) were collected during January 2021 to December 2021. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). WHONET 5.6 was used to analyze data.Results:During the study period, 11 013 bacterial strains were collected from 51 hospitals, of which 2 782 (25.3%) were Gram-positive bacteria and 8 231 (74.7%) were Gram-negative bacteria. The top 10 bacterial species were Escherichia coli (37.6%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (18.9%), Staphylococcus aureus (9.8%), coagulase-negative Staphylococci (6.3%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (3.6%), Enterococcus faecium (3.6%), Acinetobacter baumannii (2.8%), Enterococcus faecalis (2.7%), Enterobacter cloacae (2.5%) and Klebsiella spp (2.1%). The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus aureus were 25.3% and 76.8%, respectively. No glycopeptide- and daptomycin-resistant Staphylococci was detected; more than 95.0% of Staphylococcus aureus were sensitive to ceftobiprole. No vancomycin-resistant Enterococci strains were detected. The rates of extended spectrum B-lactamase (ESBL)-producing isolated in Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirabilis were 49.6%, 25.5% and 39.0%, respectively. The prevalence rates of carbapenem-resistance in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were 2.2% and 15.8%, respectively; 7.9% of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae was resistant to ceftazidime/avibactam combination. Ceftobiprole demonstrated excellent activity against non-ESBL-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Aztreonam/avibactam was highly active against carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The prevalence rate of carbapenem-resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii was 60.0%, while polymyxin and tigecycline showed good activity against Acinetobacter baumannii (5.5% and 4.5%). The prevalence of carbapenem-resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa was 18.9%. Conclusions:The BRICS surveillance results in 2021 shows that the main pathogens of blood stream infection in China are gram-negative bacteria, in which Escherichia coli is the most common. The MRSA incidence shows a further decreasing trend in China and the overall prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci is low. The prevalence of Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is still on a high level, but the trend is downwards.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of enterovirus (EV) VP1 gene from cases with hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in Songjiang district of Shanghai in 2019.Methods:Samples from suspected HFMD cases were detected using real-time fluorescence reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Human rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cells were used for EV culture. VP1 genes of the isolated EV A species were sequenced. The sequences of nucleotide and amino acid of EV A species were used in phylogenetic and homology analysis by MEGA X software.Results:Totally 207 HFMD specimens were detected in 2019, of which 188 specimens were screened positive for EV. The positive rates of Coxsackievirus (CV)-A6, CV-A16, CV-A10 and CV-A4 were 47.34% (89/188), 41.49% (78/188), 3.72% (7/188) and 2.66% (5/188), respectively. Other EV species were 4.79% (9/188) positive and EV-A71 was not detected. During the summer epidemic peak of HFMD (May to July), B1 gene subtype of CV-A16 was detected more frequently, of which B1a and B1b evolutionary branches were prevalent together. The CV-A6 virus of D3a branch dominated in secondary peak of autumn and winter (September to December). CV-A10 and CV-A4 were sporadic and both respective strains belonged to subtypes of C2 gene. Compared with the prototype strains, the nucleotide (amino acid) sequence homologies of CV-A6, CV-A16, CV-A10 and CV-A4 VP1 genes were 79.22%-81.78% (95.97%~-97.19%), 62.70%-65.54% (90.10%-91.30%), 81.76%-82.65% (91.63% -92.03%) and 81.09%-81.79% (97.27%-97.67%), respectively.Conclusions:The diversity and complexity of HFMD pathogen epidemic increase the difficulty of HFMD prevention and control. The expansion of EV surveillance programs and the studies on the molecular epidemiology of EV are helpful for the prevention and control of HFMD.

Objective:To analyze the prevalence of influenza B virus and its HA and NA genes characteristics during 2017—2020 in Songjiang district, Shanghai.Methods:Samples from suspected cases of influenza were detected using real-time fluorescence reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Influenza B virus positive specimens were cultured by MDCK cells and embryonated chicken eggs. The hamagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) genes of influenza virus B strains were sequenced and analyzed for gene evolution and amino acid variation. The sensitivity of the strains to oseltamivir and zanamivir was studied by neuraminidase inhibition assay.Results:The positive rate of influenza B virus in Songjiang district from 2017 to 2020 was 14.24% (506/3554). Influenza B virus circulated mainly in winter-spring season and alternated between B/Victoria and B/Yamagata subtypes. Subclade 1A (△3) B was the predominant Victoria lineage circulating in Songjiang district. Otherwise, the remaining strains belonged to subclade 1A(△2)and clade 1A. Compared with vaccine strain B/Brisbane/60/2008, the nucleotide homology of circulating strains HA (NA) was 97.62%~98.19% (98.11%~98.78%). The mutations of HA in 1A (△3) B subclade mainly were in 120 loop and 160 loop. All the Yamagata strains circulating in Songjiang district belonged to clade 3. Compared with vaccine strain B/Phuket/3073/2013, the nucleotide homology of HA and NA were 98.71%~99.04% and 98.69%~99.27%, respectively. No amino acid change was found in the antigenic clusters. Neuraminidase inhibition assay showed that the influenza B virus strains were sensitive to both oseltamivir and zanamivir.Conclusions:Inconsistence of the antigenicity between the vaccine strains and the circulating strains during 2017—2020, influenza B virus should be persistently monitored, including the epidemic situation and the etiological characteristics, which might be helpful in vaccine screening and drug development.

Objective:To investigate the effects of propofol and sevoflurane on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after emergency surgery in trauma patients.Methods:A total of 160 trauma patients undergoing emergency surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into the propofol group and the sevoflurane group. The perioperative clinical data of the two groups were collected. The incidence of PTSD was evaluated by PCL-5 score one month after the operation in the two groups. The relevance of the injury time and PCL-5 score was assessed by Spearman correlation analysis. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of PTSD.Results:The incidence of PTSD in the propofol group was significantly higher than that in the sevoflurane group at postoperative 1 month (24.0% vs 10.8%, P=0.034). The injury time was negatively correlated with PCL-5 score in the propofol group ( r=0.229, P<0.01). There was no correlation between the injury time and the PCL-5 score in the sevoflurane group ( r=0.001, P=0.804). Logistic regression analysis showed that the use of propofol was an independent risk factor for PTSD ( P=0.004). Conclusions:Sevoflurane anesthesia is more effective than propofol anesthesia in reducing the occurrence of PTSD in emergency surgery for trauma patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of elderly patients with stage 3-4 chronic kidney disease ( CKD ) and to analyze the risk factors of the kidney function progression. Methods This was a cross-sectional study. The clinic data of elderly patients (≥60 years) with stable clinical manifestation in Beijing Hospital from January ,2014 to December ,2015 was collected.Based upon the eGFR derived from Cockcroft-Gault (CG) equation ,all patients were divided into groups of CKD 3a group ,CKD 3b group and CKD 4 group ,respectively. Moreover ,patients were separated into the old group (< 80 years) and the very old group (≥80 years) based on the age. The demographic features ,primary diseases history ,body mass index (BMI) ,blood routine ,urine routine , blood biochemistry ,Cystatin C and iPTH were recorded.Logistic regression analysis of kidney function progression was also conducted. Results One-hundred and eighty-three cases were enrolled with a mean age of(80 ± 9)years.Along with the descent of kidney function ,the age ,levels of proteinuria and iPTH gradually ascended (F= 12.352 ,5.910 ,5.910 ;P= 0.000 ,0.003 ,0.003 ,respectively) and the BMI and serum albumin gradually descended (F=9.758 ,11.088 ;P=0.000 ,0.000 ,respectively).In addition ,compared to the old group ,very old group was associated with decreased level of eGFR [(37.1 ± 9.9) ml·min-1·1.73 m -2vs. (44.0 ± 12.0) ml·min-1·1.73 m -2,t= -4.280 ,P=0.000] and increasedlevelofCystatinC[(1.71±0.84)mg/L vs. (1.40±0.69)mg/L ,t=3.484 ,P=0.001].The Logistic regression analysis indicated that the proteinuria was an independent risk factor for the progression of kidney function ( OR =3.856 ,P=0.004). Conclusions As the gradually descended of the eGFR level in elderly patients with stage 3-4 CKD ,age ,proteinuria and iPTH gradually ascended ,BMI and serum albumin descended ,respectively. The level of eGFR decreased and CystatinC increased significantly with the increasing age. Proteinuria was an independent risk factor for progression of the kidney function.
