Nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) have been commonly deployed to prevent and control the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), resulting in a worldwide decline in influenza prevalence. However, the influenza risk in China warrants cautious assessment. We conducted a cross-sectional, seroepidemiological study in Shandong Province, Northern China in mid-2021. Hemagglutination inhibition was performed to test antibodies against four influenza vaccine strains. A combination of descriptive and meta-analyses was adopted to compare the seroprevalence of influenza antibodies before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The overall seroprevalence values against A/H1N1pdm09, A/H3N2, B/Victoria, and B/Yamagata were 17.8% (95% CI 16.2%-19.5%), 23.5% (95% CI 21.7%-25.4%), 7.6% (95% CI 6.6%-8.7%), and 15.0 (95% CI 13.5%-16.5%), respectively, in the study period. The overall vaccination rate was extremely low (2.6%). Our results revealed that antibody titers in vaccinated participants were significantly higher than those in unvaccinated individuals (P < 0.001). Notably, the meta-analysis showed that antibodies against A/H1N1pdm09 and A/H3N2 were significantly low in adults after the COVID-19 pandemic (P < 0.01). Increasing vaccination rates and maintaining NPIs are recommended to prevent an elevated influenza risk in China.

Objective To provide the scientific basis prevention of HIV infection in clinic,we studied the infection status and tendency of HIV among outpatients and inpatients in a large teaching hospital of southwest China.Methods From 2008 to 2013,the third generation Merieux enzyme-linked immunosorbent method of antibody or the fourth generation Roche electrochemiluminescence immunoassay were adopted in 644208 clinic patients for HIV antibody screening.The original detection method and Livzon enzyme-linked immunosorbent method of antibody were used for re-detection,and the positive specimens were sent to the local Center for Disease Control and Prevention or West China Hospital HIV confirmation laboratory for confirmation using western blot assay.Results A total of 1917 patients (0.30％) were confirmed as HIV-1 antibodies positive,of which,599 cases were outpatients (0.75％),1318 cases were inpatients (0.23％).These patients were mainly distributed in the department of outpatient service,department of infection center,department of dermatology,department of pneumology,department of integrated Chinese and western medicine.1917 including 1534 male cases and 383 female cases,most of HIV positive patients were distributed in young adults (1383 cases).Patients living with HIV were mainly infected through heterosexual transmitted route (1228 cases),an increasing trend of proportion of Homosexual transmission was noticed.Conclusion Rate of HIV infection was increasing year by year.Heterosexual transmission is the main way to spread and homosexual transmission gradually increased.Medical staff should enhance consciousness of self-protection,reduce hospital-acquired infection due to occupational exposure,avoid occurrence of medical dispute.National health education on HIV knowledge should be popularized.

OBJECTlVE To study the Iong term toxicity of vinoreIbine tartrate(NVB)on rat immune and hematopoietic systems pathoIogicaIIy. METHODS SD Rats were randomIy divided into 4 groups:normaI controI group and NVB 5.0,10.0,and 20.0 mg·m-2 groups,each group containing 6 maIe and femaIe rats. The rats in NBV groups were administered different concentrations of NVB by intravenous drip on the 1st and 8th days,21 da cycIe,for 4 cycIes. On the 14th day after the Iast administration, white bIood ceIIs(WBC),neutrophiI(Neut),Iymphocytes(Lym),red bIood ceIIs(RBC)and reticuIo-cyte‰(RET‰)were detected by ADVIA2120 hematoIogy anaIyzer. Thymus,sternum marrow,spIeen and mesenteric Iymph nodes were observed by histopathoIogicaI examination. The thymus and spIeen were preciseIy weighed to obtain the reIative organ coefficients. Bone marrow smears were made for counting and cIassification. RESULTS Compared with normaI controI group,WBC,Neut,Lym,RBC and RET% of peripheraI bIood of NVB 5,10 and 20 mg·m-2 groups were decreased(P﹤0.05,P﹤0.01). The Neut vaIue of maIe rats was(2.35±0.56)×109·L-1 in normaI controI group,but was reduced to (1.66±0.44),(0.67±0.22)and(0.20±0.02)×109·L-1(P﹤0.05,P﹤0.01)in NVB 5,10 and 20 mg·m-2 groups. The Neut vaIue of femaIe rats was(1.26± 0.27)× 109 L-1 in normaI controI group,but was reduced to(1.14±0.56),(0.47±0.13)and(0.21±0.08)×109 L-1(P﹤0.05,P﹤0.01)in NVB 5,10 and 20 mg·m-2 groups. The resuIts of counting and cIassification of bone marrow smears showed that the myeIoid ceII ratio decreased(P﹤0.05,P﹤0.01). The myeIoid ceII ratio of maIe rats was(42.7±6.1)% in normaI controI group,but was reduced to(28.8±5.3)%,(22.0±3.2)% and(18.9±3.9)% in NVB 5,10 and 20 mg·m-2 groups. The myeIoid ceII ratio of femaIe rats in normaI controI group was(35.4±3.0)%, but was reduced to(31.2±4.7)%,(22.9±6.7)% and(20.8±4.2)% in NVB 5,10 and 20 mg·m-2 groups. The thymus coefficient was reduced(P﹤0.05,P﹤0.01). The thymus coefficient of maIe rats in normaI controI group was 0.36±0.04,but was reduced to 0.31±0.06,0.18±0.03 and 0.08±0.01 in NVB 5,10 and 20 mg·m-2 groups. The thymus coefficient of femaIe rats in normaI controI group was 0.29±0.06,but was reduced to 0.25±0.06,0.19±0.06 and 0.07±0.01 in NVB 5,10 and 20 mg·m-2 groups. Histopatho-IogicaI examination showed that thymus was atrophiedand bone marrow was suppressed. SpIeen com-pensatory extrameduIIary hematopoietic ceIIs were increased in NVB 5.0,10.0 and 20.0 mg·m-2 groups (maIe and femaIe)to different degrees,but the mesenteric Iymph nodes of NVB groups showed no sig-nificant pathoIogicaI changes. CONCLUSlON NVB has immune and hematopoietic toxicity on SD rats, as is showed by thymic atrophy and bone marrow suppression.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the distribution of Enterobacteriaceae isolated from West China Hospital, investigate the antibiotic resistance profile of Enterobacteriaceae with decreased susceptibility to carbapenems and explore the molecular mechanism.

METHODSForty-five Enterobacteriaceae strains resistant or with reduced susceptibility to carbapenems were isolated from patients in West China Hospital. The antimicrobial susceptibility and carbapenemase-producing phenotypes of the bacteria were examined and specific PCR were performed to determine the molecular mechanism.

RESULTSOf the 45 isolates, 17, 21 and 36 were resistant or intermediate strains to imipenem, meropenem and ertapenem, respectively. The majority of these isolates showed resistance to cephalosporins. The modified Hodge test resulted in the highest positivity rate (77.8%), followed by EDTA disc test (57.8%) and PBA disc test (22.2%). BlaTEM, blaSHV and blaCTX-M were detected in 60.0%, 53.3% and 15.6% of these strains with reduced susceptibility. The rate of strains carrying 2 or more genes was 44.4%, and the detection rate of blaIMP was 48.9%. BlaKPC was identified in 4 (8.9%) high-level resistant strains and confirmed to locate on the plasmid.

CONCLUSIONProduction of carbapenemase contributes to reduced susceptibility of carbapenems in Enterobacteriaceae. The presence of blaKPC, MBL and ESBL, and their possible combinations can be the main factor contributing to carbapenem resistance or reduced susceptibility in Enterobacteriaceae. The KPC-2 carbapenemase gene located on the plasmids we found in this study can cause potential horizontal transmission across strains.
