Objective:To analyze the genetic characteristics of coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16) related to hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in Jiaxing from 2021 to 2023, and understand the biological and molecular evolutionary characteristics of CVA16 in this city.Methods:Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to detect enterovirus and its types in collected HFMD case samples. At the same time, virus isolation and cultivation were performed on positive samples using RD cells. Then high-throughput sequencing of the whole genome was performed on 23 strains of CVA16 identified from the isolated samples. Finally we obtained its whole genome sequence. DNAStar, MEGA 6.0, Simplot 3.5.1 and other bioinformatics software were used to compare and analyze the sequences, construct the phylogenetic tree of VP1 region, and realize the genotype composition. And these software were also used to analyze the homology of the whole genome nucleotide sequence and the encoded amino acids, while know well the amino acid mutation sites and gene recombination in the main regions.Results:The results showed that among the 1 836 HFMD specimens tested from 2021 to 2023, 1 432 (78.00%, 1 432/1 836) were positive for enterovirus general genes, of which 263 were positive for CVA16, accounting for 18.37% (263/1 432) of the confirmed positive cases. Twenty-three CVA16 strains were sequenced and all of them were B1 subtype, of which 6 strains belong to B1b and 17 strains belong to B1a, with B1a being dominant. B1a strains in Jiaxing showed genetic relatedness to strains isolated in Beijing, Yunnan, Guangzhou, Jiangsu and other places in 2018 to 2023, as well as strains from Vietnam, Thailand, and Australia from 2015 to 2017. B1b strains exhibited consistent amino acid mutations of L23M in the VP1 region and V217I in the VP2 region, while B1a strains exhibited amino acid mutations of S14N/D, T164K, and V251I in the VP1 region and R41H in the VP3 region. Compared with the prototype strain, the 23 strains of CVA16 in Jiaxing accumulated the largest number of amino acid mutations in the coding region, with 28 and 50 mutations in the VP1 and 3D regions, respectively. The recombination patterns of B1a and B1b strains were slightly different, with B1a type showing recombination with CVA8 in the 5′-UTR region instead of CVA4, B1a was similar to enterovirus A71 in most of P2 and P3 regions, and recombined with CVA5 in the 3D region of P3.Conclusions:The prevalent strain of CVA16 in Jiaxing may share a common trend of co-circulation and evolution with those in other provinces. The recombination mainly occurs in the 5′-UTR region and non-structural protein coding regions of P2 and P3. Continuous molecular surveillance of CVA16 is in need, and whole-genome sequencing can help understand the genetic variation, evolution, and recombination of strains.This information will provide a more robust basis for the monitoring and early warning, vaccine development, and prevention and control efforts against HFMD.

BACKGROUND:Static stretching effectively improves joint motion amplitude,dynamic stretching effectively improves muscle strength and athletic performance through the post-activation strengthening effect of the muscles.OBJECTIVE:To explore the immediate effects of different stretching methods on knee joint muscle strength and vertical jump performance,and provide theoretical support for seeking the best stretching plan,improving sports performance,and preventing training injuries.METHODS:Thirty healthy college students were randomly recruited.The Biodex isokinetic muscle strength system,Qualisys infrared motion capture system,and AMTI three-dimensional force measurement platform were used to collect knee joint muscle strength and vertical jump data after static quadriceps/hamstring stretching,dynamic quadriceps/hamstring stretching,dynamic quadriceps/static hamstring stretching,and static quadriceps/dynamic hamstring stretching.The peak torque,average power,vertical jump height,peak vertical ground reaction force,and joint motion amplitude of the knee joint were used to evaluate the muscle strength and vertical jump performance of the knee joint.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the static quadriceps/hamstring stretching,dynamic quadriceps/hamstring stretching significantly increased knee joint peak torque,average power,and vertical jump height(P<0.05);dynamic quadriceps/static hamstring stretching and static quadriceps/dynamic hamstring stretching significantly increased knee extension and flexion peak torque and average power(P<0.05).Compared with static quadriceps/hamstring stretching,second peak vertical ground reaction force significantly decreased after static quadriceps/dynamic hamstring stretching(P<0.05);lower limb joint motion amplitude significantly increased after dynamic quadriceps/hamstring stretching(P<0.05).These findings indicate that immediate agonists/antagonistic muscle dynamic stretching and agonists dynamic stretching/antagonistic muscle static stretching significantly improve knee joint muscle strength,vertical jump performance,and joint motion amplitude.A larger joint motion amplitude is beneficial for improving athletic performance and better absorbing ground impact during landing.At the same time,agonists muscle dynamic stretching/antagonistic muscle static stretching is better than agonists/antagonistic muscle dynamic stretching to improve knee joint muscle strength,and agonists muscle static stretching/antagonistic muscle dynamic stretching is beneficial for improving the energy absorption capacity during vertical jumping and reducing the risk of injury during landing.

Objective:To explore the impact of a staged trauma integrated treatment model based on information network platforms on the emergency treatment outcomes of patients with severe cranial injury.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select 80 patients with severe cranial injury treated at Yiwu Central Hospital from June 2023 to June 2024. Patients admitted from June to December 2023 were assigned to the control group ( n=37), while patients admitted from January to June 2024 were assigned to the intervention group ( n=43). The control group received conventional emergency treatment for cranial injury, while the intervention group received the staged trauma integrated treatment model based on an information network platform. The emergency response time (response time, triage time, emergency room treatment time, and handover time to the ward), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, incidence of complications, and family satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results:After intervention, the intervention group had shorter emergency response time, triage time, emergency room treatment time, and handover time to the ward compared to the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.01). The NIHSS score in the intervention group was lower, and the GCS score was higher, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). The incidence of complications in the intervention group was lower, and family satisfaction was higher compared to the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The staged trauma integrated treatment model based on an information network platform can optimize the emergency treatment process for severe cranial injury, shorten treatment times, improve hospital-to-hospital and interdepartmental coordination, reduce neurological damage and complication rates, and increase family satisfaction. It is worth promoting for clinical use.
