Objective To explore the distribution characteristics and influencing factors of nasal colonized bacteria of healthcare workers(HCWs)in pediatric intensive care unit(PICU).Methods A cross-sectional study was con-ducted.Nasal swab specimens from 104 HCWs in the PICU of a hospital were collected for bacterial culture and an-timicrobial susceptibility testing.According to the identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing results of strains,distribution characteristics of colonized bacteria was analyzed.Basic information of studied subjects were collected through questionnaire survey,and risk factors for colonized bacterial infection were conducted using logis-tic regression analysis.Results Among 104 specimens,colonized bacteria were detected from 66 specimens,with an overall detection rate of 63.46%.Gram-positive bacteria was mainly Staphylococcus aureus,with a detection rate of 34.62%(n=36),out of which methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA)accounted for 2.88%(n=3).Gram-negative bacteria was mainly Klebsiella spp.,with a detection rate of 21.15%(n=22).Multiva-riate logistic regression analysis showed that HCWs with junior professional titles(OR=11.400,95%CI:2.329-55.801,P=0.003)was an independent risk factor for Staphylococcus aureus colonization,and male(OR=4.260,95%CI:1.160-15.653,P=0.029)was an independent risk factor for Klebsiella spp.colonization.Conclusion Nasal cavity of HCWs in PICU has a high detection rate of colonized bacteria,with Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella spp.being the major colonized bacteria.

Uterine arteriovenous fistula (UAVF), a relatively rare vascular anomaly, may lead to life-threatening hemorrhage and poses diagnostic and management challenges for primary hospitals during initial encounters. This article reports four cases of UAVF treated with Drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets at Department of Gynaecology, Zhuji Maternal and Child Health Hospital between 2023 and 2024. Combined with literature review, we systematically analyzed the etiological mechanisms, clinical characteristics, and diagnostic-therapeutic strategies of this condition, with particular focus on evaluating the efficacy and safety of conservative pharmacological management. By summarizing case features and individualized treatment protocols, this study aims to provide clinical references for early identification, accurate diagnosis, and rational intervention of UAVF, thereby reducing risks of massive hemorrhage and long-term complications while improving patient prognosis.

Gyrovirus galga1(GyVg1)and gyrovirus homsa1(GyH1)are two newly discovered cir-coviruses that can cause symptoms related to transmissible viral proventriculitis of chickens.These viruses have been reported in various regions worldwide.This research aims to establish a duplex real-time PCR assay capable of identifying and detecting GyVg1 and GyH1.Specific primers and probes were designed based on the conserved regions of GyVg1 and GyH1 respectively using all genome sequence data currently available in GenBank.After optimizing reaction conditions,the du-plex real-time PCR detection method was established and further validated by comparing it with a conventional PCR assay and sequencing results from an analysis of 256 clinical samples collected in 2023 across eight regions of Nanning,Guangxi.The results showed that GyVg1 and GyH1 could be identified in 1 h by the duplex real-time PCR assay and two pairs of primer probes can amplify effectively but there is no any cross reaction with other pathogens.Besides,the detection limit was determined to be 7.5 copies/μL.The correlation coefficient of standard curves exceeded 0.99,and CV for intra-and inter-assay was less than 0.45%.Based on clinical performance,when the quanti-ty of template was greater than or equal to 100 copies,the agreements between the duplex real-time PCR assay and the conventional PCR assay were 94.3%(GyVg1)and 100%(GyH1).In con-clusion,the newly developed duplex real-time PCR assays exhibited good specificity,sensitivity and repeatability,which could contribute to the rapid detection and differentiation of GyVg1 and GyH1.

To establish a double fluorescent RT-LAMP that can distinguish between chicken astro-virus(CAstV)and avian nephritis virus(ANV),two sets of specific primers and probes labeled with fluorescent groups were designed by comparing the conserved sequences of CAstV ORF1b gene and ANV ORF1b gene downloaded from GenBank.The CAstV probe was labeled with CY3 fluorophore at the 3'end and the quencher BHQ2 at the 5'end.The ANV probe was labeled with CY3 fluorophore at the 3'end and the quencher BHQ2 at the 5'end.The reaction system of the method was optimized,and specificity,repeatability,interference,sensitivity,and clinical sample detection were performed.The results were compared with RT-qPCR and RT-PCR to verify the ef-fectiveness of the method.The experimental results showed that the established double fluorescence RT-LAMP method could complete the reaction within 60 min,and the optimal reac-tion temperature was 65 ℃.This method only detects ANV and CAstV,with no cross-reactivity to other common avian pathogens.The minimum detection limit of CAstV was 1.4 ×10 2 copies/μL,and the minimum detection limit of ANV was 1.5×10 2 copies/μL.The interference and reproduc-ibility tests were good.Compared with RT-qPCR,the coincidence rates of CAstV and ANV were 97.97%and 98.85%,respectively.In conclusion,the double fluorescence RT-LAMP method estab-lished in this study has the characteristics of rapidity,accuracy,good specificity,high sensitivity and good reproducibility,which is suitable for clinical diagnosis and provides technical support for the epidemiological investigation of CAstV and ANV.
