Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and risk factors of common viruses in children with respiratory tract infection in Yangling District, and to provide scientific basis for clinical formulation of effective prevention and control strategies. Methods The study subjects were 502 children with respiratory tract infection in Yangling Demonstration Zone Hospital from February 2022 to February 2024. 10 kinds of common respiratory infection viruses such as respiratory syncytial virus, parainfluenza virus, human rhinovirus, influenza B virus, influenza A virus, human adenovirus, enterovirus, coronavirus, human metapneumovirus and human Boca virus were detected by multiple real-time fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (PCR). According to the results of viral nucleic acid detection, 502 children were divided into positive detection group and negative detection group. Univariate and logistic multivariate regression analyses were adopted to analyze the risk factors of respiratory virus infection in children. Results Among the 502 children with respiratory tract infection, 112 cases were positive for viral nucleic acid detection, with a positive rate of 22.31%. Among the 95 cases were with single virus infection with a positive rate of 18.92%, mainly respiratory syncytial virus and parainfluenza virus, and 17 cases were with mixed virus infection, with the positive rate of 3.39%, mainly respiratory syncytial virus+parainfluenza virus mixed infection. After logistic multivariate analysis, it was found that age≤1 year old, onset in autumn and winter, monthly family income≤5000 yuan, concomitant congenital heart disease, maternal atopic disease history, maternal gestational diabetes mellitus, malnutrition and anemia were independent risk factors for respiratory virus infection in children (P<0.05). Conclusion Respiratory virus infection in acute hospitalized children in Yangling District is mainly a single virus, and is affected by many factors such as age of children, onset season, family monthly income and so on. Clinically, it is necessary to actively screen the above indicators of children and take active preventive measures to reduce viral infection.

Objective To analyze the etiological characteristics of children with pneumonia and provide a reference for regional pneumonia prevention and control.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 864 children with pneumonia admitted to this hospital from January to December 2023.The disease types,common pathogen infections,and drug-resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections in dif-ferent age groups were analyzed.Results Among the 864 children with pneumonia,there were 466 cases(53.94%)of bronchopneumonia,290 cases(33.56%)of asthmatic bronchopneumonia,and 108 cases(12.50%)of lobar pneumonia.The infections were caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae in 470 cases(54.40%),Haemophilus influenzae in 196 cases(22.69%),Streptococcus pneumoniae in 172 cases(19.91%),Moraxella catarrhalis in 143 cases(16.55%),Staphylococcus aureus in 142 cases(16.43%),Re-spiratory syncytial virus in 54 cases(6.25%).The drug resistance rate of Mycoplasma pneumoniae was 20.00%(94/470),and that of Staphylococcus aureus was 7.75%(11/142).Among 864 children with pneumo-nia,there was 1 case(0.12%)of drug-resistant of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in the 0-<1 year age group,29 cases(3.36%)in the 1-<4 years age group,39 cases(4.51%)in the 4-<7 years age group,21 cases(2.43%)in the 7-<10 years age group,and 4 cases(0.46%)in the 10-<15 years age group.Conclu-sion Mycoplasma pneumoniae is the main pathogen in children with pneumonia,and its drug resistance rate is relatively high.

Objective:This study aimed to analyze the genetic variation of the human papillomavirus (HPV) type 39 genomes and to predict and screen the dominant T-cell and B-cell epitopes of the viral early proteins (E1, E2, E6, E7) and late proteins (L1, L2).Methods:A total of 70 full-length sequences of HPV39 variants were retrieved from the clinical samples and the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) to construct a phylogenetic tree, analyze genetic polymorphisms, and predict the physicochemical properties of the viral proteins. Next, T-cell and B-cell epitopes were predicted using IEDB and ABCpred, and potential dominant epitopes were further selected based on parameters such as the secondary structure of the epitope region, peptide flexibility, hydrophilicity, surface accessibility and antigenicity. Finally, a homology analysis of the potential dominant epitopes was performed with 12 high-risk HPV types.Results:HPV39 variants from different sources can be clustered into two lineages (A and B), each exhibiting distinct mutation patterns. The mutation rate was the highest in E7 and the lowest in E1 among the different viral genes. However, these nucleotide/amino acid mutations did not significantly impact the physicochemical properties of the viral proteins. After prediction and screening, 5 and 6 potential dominant B-cell epitopes were identified in both L1 and L2, respectively. E1, E2, E6, and E7 yielded 18, 10, 4, and 1 potential dominant HLA-I restricted T-cell epitopes, respectively. Additionally, E1, E2, and E6 yielded 7, 3, and 2 potential dominant HLA-II restricted T-cell epitopes, respectively. Homology analysis indicated that T-cell dominant epitopes in E1, E2, and E6, as well as B-cell epitopes in L2, showed high homology (93%-100%) with HPV68, HPV33, HPV45, and HPV59.Conclusions:Bioinformatics analysis and prediction revealed that HPV39 variants can be clustered into two main evolutionary branches, A and B, each exhibiting a specific mutation pattern. The viral proteins contain potential dominant T-cell and B-cell epitopes that can be further investigated, providing valuable theoretical support for the development of HPV39-related peptide-based vaccines and therapeutics.

Objective:To analyze the research and development of control system for airbag pressure of intelligent tracheal catheter,and its application effect in clinical practice.Methods:The hospital designed an intelligent self-adaptive control system for cuff pressure of tracheal catheter,which can rationally apply main components such as single chip microcomputer,display screen,control panel,pressure monitoring module,inflation device and solenoid valve,etc..This control system connected the measuring module of pressure through single chip microcomputer,so as to continuously detect the airbag pressure of tracheal catheter.An inflation and deflation algorithm was independently researched and developed to control air pump or solenoid valve to inject or release part of the gas to the airbag,so as to achieve intelligent control for the pressure of airbag.Sixty patients underwent endotracheal intubation who admitted to the department of general surgery of Wuhan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2022 to January 2023 were selected as the study objects,and they were divided into control group(n=30)and observation group(n=30)according to random number table method.The cuff pressure of endotracheal intubation of patients in control group were managed by conventional method.The intelligent adaptive control system was adopted to manage the cuff pressure of endotracheal intubation for patients in the observation group.The complications,compliance rate of airbag pressure,the instantaneous maximum value of airbag pressure during sputum aspiration,insertion of gastric tube,and turning over of body were compared between the two groups after intubation.Results:The incidence of complication included cough,trachyphonia,dysphagia and bloody sputum after tracheal intubation in the observation group were 6.66%,which was significantly lower than 33.33%in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(x2=6.667,P<0.05).The compliance rate of the pressure(25-30cmH2O)of airbag in the control group was 92.83%,which was significantly lower than 97.78%in the observation group,and the difference was statistically significant(x2=14.698,P<0.05).The instantaneous maximum values of airbag pressure during sputum aspiration,insertion of gastric tube and turning over were(28.24±3.65)cmH2O,(27.98±4.25)cmH2O and(28.65±4.87)cmH2O in observation group,respectively,which were significantly lower than those in control group,and the differences were significant(t=17.930,19.208,16.485,P<0.05).Conclusion:The application of intelligent adaptive control system for cuff pressure of tracheal catheter can maintain the airbag pressure of tracheal catheter at normal level(20-30 cmH2O),and reduce complications,and improve the compliance rate of airbag pressure.

Objective:To compare the results of invasive prenatal diagnosis and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) and explore the underlying mechanism.Methods:Clinical data of pregnant women undergoing PGT and invasive prenatal diagnosis at the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2019 to December 2022 were collected. The results of PGT and invasive prenatal diagnosis were compared, and the outcomes of pregnancies were followed up. This study has been approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University (No. 2022SLYEC-491).Results:A total of 172 couples were included in this study, and 26 non-targeted variants were discovered upon prenatal diagnosis, including 10 cases (38.5%) by chromosomal karyotyping, 15 (57.7%) by chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA), and 1 (3.8%) by whole exome sequencing. The 10 karyotypic anomalies had included 6 chromosomal polymorphisms, 2 chromosomal mosaicisms, 1 paternally derived translocation, and 1 missed maternal chromosomal inversion. CMA has identified 15 copy number variations (CNVs), which included 11 microdeletions and microduplications, 3 loss of heterozygosity, and 1 low-level mosaicism of paternal uniparental disomy. One CNV was classified as pathogenic, and another one was likely pathogenic, whilst the remaining 13 were classified as variants of uncertain significance. Therefore, 8.7% of CNVs was detected by invasive prenatal diagnosis after PGT. 92.3% (24/26) of the non-targeted variants have been due to technological limitations of next-generation sequencing (NGS).Conclusion:Invasive prenatal diagnosis after PGT can detect non-targeted variants, which may further reduce the incidence of birth defects.

Objective To explore the clinical application of ultrasound-guided transabdominal villus and amniocentesis in the prenatal diagnosis of thalassemia,and to find a suitable method for the prenatal diagnosis of thalassemia in Qinzhou.Methods A total of 531 high-risk pregnant women with severe or intermediate thalassemia during single pregnancy who were treated in the Department of Medical Genetics and Prenatal Diagnosis,Qinzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital from March 2021 to April 2022 were selected for the study.According to different sampling methods,they were divided into control group(amniocentesis,n=415)and study group(transabdominal villus puncture,n=116).The success rate,complication rate of the two groups were compared.Results The success rate of puncture in the control group was 100％,2 cases were aborted within 2 weeks after surgery,17 cases were diagnosed with severe alpha-thalassemia,10 cases with severe β-thalassemia and 64 cases with intermediate thalassemia,48 cases with moderate and severe thalassemia induced labor.The success rate of puncture in the research group was 100％,10 cases were diagnosed with severe alpha-thalassemia,4 cases with severe β-thalassemia and 17 cases with intermediate thalassemia,and 26 cases with moderate severe thalassemia were induced labor.There was no significant difference in puncture success rate and abortion rate between the two methods(P>0.05).Conclusion Both methods are safe and effective.Transabdominal villus sampling can detect fetal thalassemia in early pregnancy,and it is worth promoting and applying in clinical practice.
