Objective:To establish a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method(GC-MS-MS)for determining the content of methyl p-toluenesulfonate(MTS),ethyl p-toluenesulfonate(ETS),and isopropyl p-toluenesulfonate(IPTS)in tosufloxacin tosylate hydrate.Methods:The HP-1MS(0.250 mm ×30 m,0.50 μm)column was used at progamming temperature,the injection temperature was 250 ℃.The MS conditions were as follow:the ionization mode was EI,the electron voltage was 70 V,the ion source temperature was 250 ℃,the scanning method was MRM,the quantitative ion pairs for MTS,ETS and IPTS were m/z 91 →65,m/z 155→91 and m/z 91→65.Results:The linearity ranges of MTS,ETS and IPTS were 48.779-975.59 ng·mL-1(r=0.998 5),54.586-1 091.7 ng·mL-1(r=0.998 4)and 46.241-924.82 ng·mL-1(r=0.999 8).The average recoveries were 99.47％,99.15％,98.83％(n=9).The MTS,ETS and IPTS were not detected in the 7 batches of tosufloxacin tosylate hydrate.Conclusion:The established method can be used for the determination of MTS,ETS,and IPTS content in tosufloxacin tosylate hydrate.

Objective To analyze the dynamic changes and influencing factors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis(TB)infection in grade-1 students in senior high school at the time of enrollment and one year after enrollment.Methods In 2022,TB screening was carried out among grade-2 students in 4 senior high schools in Binhai and Xiqing Districts of Tianjin.Basic information of students was collected,and TB infection detection results of grade-1 students in senior high school at the time of enrollment were collected retrospectively.Positive rate,strong positive rate and positive conversion rate from tuberculin skin test(TST)results of students were compared.Univariate and multiva-riate logistic regression models were used to analyze the relevant influencing factors for positive conversion of TST results.Results The overall positive rate of 1 839 students one year after enrollment was higher than that at the enrollment(46.82％vs 33.12％),while strong positive rate was lower(12.51％vs 13.00％),both with statisti-cally significant differences(both P＜0.001).One year after enrollment,64 out of 1 230 students who were origi-nally negative for TST in their first year of senior high school turned positive,with a positive conversion rate of 5.20％(95％CI:3.93％-6.48％).One year after enrollment,TST results showed that the average diameter of induration was 5(2,8)mm,diameter was 2(0,5)mm at the enrollment of the first year of senior high school,but the difference was not statistically significant(P=0.478).The difference range of average diameter of induration was±21 mm,39.70％of students being within±2 mm.Students with increased and decreased average diameter of induration accounted for 65.09％and 28.49％,respectively.Multivariate logistic regression analysis result showed that students in boarding school had a higher risk of positive conversion compared with non-boarding school students(OR=4.842,95％CI:2.794-8.392).Conclusion The screening of TB infection among grade-2 students in senior high school should be strengthened,with a focus on boarding school students.Early detection of tuberculosis patients and newly infected individuals can provide reference for implementing precise prevention and control.

The integration of multi-source data and the establishment of early warning indicator systems constitute pivotal elements for advancing surveillance and early warning capacities in respiratory infectious diseases. Given the multifaceted transmission mechanisms and complex contributing factors inherent in respiratory infectious diseases, surveillance datasets and associated early warning indicators demonstrate notable heterogeneity and sophisticated interrelationships. Furthermore, as surveillance and early warning requirements significantly vary across diverse epidemiological scenarios, accurate assessment of the value and applicability of distinct data types and indicators is imperative. This paper systematically reviews and synthesizes recent advancements in surveillance data and early warning indicators for respiratory infectious diseases, drawing on both domestic and international research. Particular attention is dedicated to analyzing the applicability and efficacy of various data types and indicators within multiple practical contexts, aiming to provide robust theoretical frameworks and methodological guidance to facilitate the development of resilient and efficient surveillance and early warning systems for respiratory infectious diseases.

Heat shock factor 1(HSF1)is a core transcription factor in cellular stress response and protein homeostasis maintenance,and is widely involved in biological processes such as cell growth,differentiation,and metabolism.This study aims to design antigenic peptides of the sheep HSF1 protein and prepare polyclonal antibodies through bioinformatics analysis and immunologi-cal techniques,and verify their application effects in sheep lung and testis tissues.Firstly,the se-quence,structure,and evolution of the sheep HSF1 gene were analyzed using bioinformatics meth-ods,and key antigenic epitopes were predicted.Then,suitable peptide fragments were selected for synthesis,emulsified with Freund's complete adjuvant or incomplete adjuvant,and used to immu-nize New Zealand rabbits.The specificity and effectiveness of the antibodies were verified by indi-rect ELISA,Western blot,and immunohistochemistry(IHC)experiments.The results showed that the HSF1 protein is 564 amino acids(aa)in length,with a molecular weight of 60.76 kDa,a theo-retical isoelectric point(pI)of 5.32,and is hydrophilic and unstable.Phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that HSF1 is highly conserved among most members of the Bovidae family,as well as in humans,mice,rats,and other species,but with local site differences.Sheep HSF1 is most closely related to goat HSF1,followed by Canadian bighorn sheep and goral.The phosphorylation sites of sheep HSF1 are predominantly concentrated in the middle and C-terminal regions,which is largely consistent with the predicted results for human HSF1,though some local differences exist.The prepared polyclonal antibodies exhibited a titer of over 1:8000 in recognizing the sheep HSF1 pro-tein,and Western blot experiments confirmed clear bands with consistent molecular weight,indica-ting high specificity of the antibodies.Furthermore,the expression and specific distribution of HSF1 were detected in sheep lung and testis tissues.This study successfully prepared polyclonal antibodies based on the sheep HSF1 antigen peptide and,for the first time,detected the immuno-histochemical distribution of HSF1 in the testis and lung tissues of Argali hybrid sheep.This pro-vides an important tool for further exploring the physiological role of HSF1 in Argali hybrid sheep and its potential applications in stress response,disease prevention,and treatment.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of clinically isolated Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis in hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021,and provide evidence for rational use of antimicrobial agents.Methods Data of H.influenzae and M.catarrhalis strains isolated from 2015 to 2021 in CHINET program were collected for analysis,and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disc diffusion method or automated systems according to the uniform protocol of CHINET.The results were interpreted according to the CLSI breakpoints in 2022.Beta-lactamases was detected by using nitrocefin disk.Results From 2015 to 2021,a total of 43 642 strains of Haemophilus species were isolated,accounting for 2.91％of the total clinical isolates and 4.07％of Gram-negative bacteria in CHINET program.Among the 40 437 strains of H.influenzae,66.89％were isolated from children and 33.11％were isolated from adults.More than 90％of the H.influenzae strains were isolated from respiratory tract specimens.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 53.79％in H.influenzae strains.The H.influenzae strains isolated from children showed higher resistance rate than the strains isolated from adults.Overall,779 strains of H.influenzae did not produce β-lactamase but were resistant to ampicillin(BLNAR).Beta-lactamase-producing strains showed significantly higher resistance rates to these antimicrobial agents than the β-lactamase-nonproducing strains.Of the 16 191 M.catarrhalis strains,80.06％were isolated from children and 19.94％isolated from adults.M.catarrhalis strains were mostly susceptible to both amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and cefuroxime,evidenced by resistance rate lower than 2.0％.Conclusions The emergence of antibiotic-resistant H.influenzae due to β-lactamase production poses a challenge for clinical anti-infective treatment.Therefore,it is very important to implement antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae and guide rational antibiotic use.All local clinical microbiology laboratories should actively improve antibiotic susceptibility testing and strengthen antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae.
