Objective:
To analyze the characteristics of individuals positive for SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid in a centralized isolation site for people entering China in Huzhou City of Zhejiang Province from December 18, 2021 to January 12, 2022, so as to provide insights into the prevention and control of overseas imported COVID-19.
Methods:
The basic characteristics, nucleic acid detection and epidemiological investigations were collected from individuals positive for SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid in a centralized isolation site for people entering China from December 18, 2021 to January 12, 2022, and the temporal distribution, population distribution, source of importation, and virus typing were descriptively analyzed.
Results :
From December 18, 2021 to January 12, 2022, a total of 2 974 individuals in 19 flights were recorded in this centralized isolation site, and 33 cases were tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid, including 21 confirmed cases with common type, 9 confirmed cases with mild type, and 3 cases with asymptomatic infections. There were 11 cases with Omicron infections ( 33.33% ), 5 cases with Delta infections ( 15.15% ), and 17 cases with infection of unidentified types ( 51.52% ). The median interval ( interquartile range ) from the time of entry to the time of a positive test was 4.0 ( 7.0 ) days among all positive cases, 0 ( 4.0 ) day among cases with Omicron infections and 4.5 ( 8.5 ) days among cases with infections of Delta and unidentified types. The positive cases had a mean age of ( 36.97±8.58 ) years, and included 27 men (81.82%). There were 30 cases ( 90.91% ) receiving two and more doses of COVID-19 vaccines, and 7 cases ( 21.21% ) with a previous history of SARS-CoV-2 infections. There were 19 cases ( 57.58% ) from African countries, and 7 of 11 cases with Omicron infections were imported from African countries.
Conclusion
Omicron infection was predominant among individuals positive for SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid in this centralized isolation site for people entering China from December 18, 2021 to January 12, 2022, with no severe cases detected, and most positive cases were imported from African countries.

Objective:To analyze the independent diagnostic indicators and their diagnostic values for pulmonary tuberculosis complicated with pulmonary embolism.Methods:A total of 34 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis complicated with pulmonary embolism treated in Huzhou Central Hospital from March 2014 to September 2021 were enrolled. And 136 patients with simple pulmonary tuberculosis who were hospitalized during the same period were collected with a ratio of 1∶4 according to the principle of age and gender matching. The general conditions, clinical symptoms, comorbidities and laboratory indicators of the patients were retrospectively analyzed. The univariate analysis was performed using independent samples t test, Mann-Whitney U test and chi-square test. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the related diagnostic factors for pulmonary embolism in pulmonary tuberculosis patients, and the combined factors were constructed by transforming the model equation, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the optimal cut-off value and evaluate its diagnostic value. Results:The univariate analysis showed that patients with pulmonary tuberculosis complicated with pulmonary embolism had higher ratio of chest tightness (67.6%(23/34) vs 22.1%(30/136)), syncope (23.5%(8/34) vs 0.7%(1/136)), fever (55.9%(19/34) vs 36.0%(49/136)), hemostatic drug use (100.0%(34/34) vs 13.2%(18/136)), history of venous thrombosis (8.8%(3/34) vs 0.7%(1/136)), atrial fibrillation (11.8%(4/34) vs 2.2%(3/136)) and D-dimer levels (4.090 0(1.035 0, 10.790 0) mg/L vs 0.850 0(0.432 5, 2.145 0) mg/L) than those of simple pulmonary tuberculosis patients, and the differences were all statistically significant ( χ2=26.35, 28.19, 4.47, 96.44, 7.75, 6.30 and Z=-4.65, respectively; all P<0.050). The arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2)(61.90(52.95, 73.00) mmHg vs 82.00 (75.00, 87.00) mmHg, 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) and albumin ((28.83±4.98) g/L vs (32.76±5.65) g/L) of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis complicated with pulmonary embolism were lower than those of simple pulmonary tuberculosis patients, and the differences were both statistically significant ( Z=-5.21 and t=3.71, respectively, both P<0.001). Binary regression analysis showed that chest tightness (odds ratio ( OR)=3.494, 95%confidence interval ( CI) 1.208 to 10.100, P=0.021), D-dimer ( OR=1.285, 95% CI 1.079 to 1.530, P=0.005) and PaO 2( OR=0.931, 95% CI 0.895 to 0.970, P=0.001) were the independent diagnostic indicators for pulmonary embolism in pulmonary tuberculosis patients. The areas under the ROC curve of chest tightness, D-dimer, PaO 2, and the combination of the three indicators (the combination factor) were 0.728, 0.758, 0.834, and 0.890, respectively. The optimal cut-off value of the combination factor was -3.1, with the sensitivity of 0.824 and the specificity of 0.824. Conclusions:Chest tightness, increased D-dimer and decreased PaO 2 are independent diagnostic indicators for pulmonary embolism in pulmonary tuberculosis patients. It is recommended to perform pulmonary artery computed tomography angiography promptly when the combination factor is higher than -3.1 to determine whether the patient is complicated by pulmonary embolism.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of brucellosis in Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide basis for clinicians to improve their understanding and diagnosis and treatment of brucellosis.Methods:The data of 10 cases of brucellosis in Huzhou Central Hospital from 2014 to 2019 were collected, and the epidemiological characteristics, clinical manifestations, laboratory examination results, imaging examination results, etiological examination results, diagnosis and treatment process and prognosis were summarized and analyzed by retrospective analysis method.Results:Among the 10 patients with brucellosis, 6 were males and 4 were females, aged from 32 to 71 years old, and 9 patients had a history of contact with goat, and one case was considered as food borne infection. The main clinical manifestations were fever (10 cases), sweating (2 cases), joint pain (7 cases). In imaging examination, 5 cases with splemomegaly, 1 cases with lymphadenopathy, 3 patients presented with spondylitis (including 1 case with paravertebral abscess) and 2 cases with prostatitis; Brucella was cultured in 2 patients and Brucella antibodies were positive in 10 patients. The treatment drugs included doxycycline, rifampicin and levofloxacin in two or three combinations. Eight patients were followed up for more than 1 month to more than 5 years, and the prognosis was good. Conclusions:Brucellosis lacks specificity in clinical features. Most patients with brucellosis are associated with osteoarthritis or urinary system diseases. Physicians should be vigilant, combine epidemiological features, conduct laboratory tests in time, and diagnose as soon as possible.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of the combination of abidol, lopinavir/ritonavir plus recombinant interferon α-2b (rIFNα-2b) and the combination of lopinavir/ritonavir plus rIFNα-2b for patients with COVID-19 in Zhejiang province.Methods:A multicenter prospective study was carried out to compare the efficacy of triple combination antiviral therapy and dual combination antiviral therapy in 15 medical institutions of Zhejiang province during January 22 to February 16, 2020. All patients were treated with rIFNα-2b (5 million U, 2 times/d) aerosol inhalation, in addition 196 patients were treated with abidol (200 mg, 3 times/d) + lopinavir/ritonavir (2 tablets, 1 time/12 h) (triple combination group) and 41 patients were treated with lopinavir/ritonavir (2 tablets, 1 time/12 h) (dual combination group). The patients who received triple combination antiviral therapy were further divided into three subgroups: <48 h, 3-5 d and >5 d according the time from the symptom onset to medication starting. The therapeutic efficacy was compared between triple combination group and dual combination group, and compared among 3 subgroups of patients receiving triple combination antiviral therapy. SPSS 17.0 software was used to analyze the data.Results:The virus nucleic acid-negative conversion time in respiratory tract specimens was (12.2±4.7) d in the triple combination group, which was shorter than that in the dual combination group [(15.0±5.0) d] ( t=6.159, P<0.01). The length of hospital stay in the triple combination group [12.0 (9.0, 17.0) d] was also shorter than that in the dual combination group [15.0 (10.0, 18.0) d] ( H=2.073, P<0.05). Compared with the antiviral treatment which was started within after the symptom onset of in the triple combination group, the time from the symptom onset to the viral negative conversion was 13.0 (10.0, 17.0), 17.0 (13.0, 22.0) and 21.0 (18.0, 24.0) d in subgroups of 48 h, 3-5 d and >5 d, respectively ( Z=32.983, P<0.01), while the time from antiviral therapy to viral negative conversion was (11.8±3.9), (13.5±5.1) and (11.2±4.3) d, respectively( Z=6.722, P<0.05). Conclusions:The triple combination antiviral therapy of abidol, lopinavir/litonavir and rIFNα-2b shows shorter viral shedding time and shorter hospitalization time, compared with the dual combination antiviral therapy; and the earlier starting triple combination antiviral therapy will result in better antiviral efficacy.

Objective To analyze the effect of single nucleotide polymorphism ( SNP) rs8099917 of interleukin-28B ( IL-28B) on spontaneous virus clearance and the efficacy of antiviral therapy in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected patients in Huzhou area of Zhejiang Province.Methods A total of 268 HCV-infected patients were enrolled.The high sensitive HCV RNA quantification , HCV genotype and the IL-28B rs8099917 SNP were detected at baseline.One hundred and sixty-three patients received pegylated interferon α-2a ( Peg-IFNα-2a) and ribavirin (RBV) combined antiviral therapy (referred as PR treatment) for 48 weeks, who were followed up for 24 weeks.The remaining 44 patients were treated with sofosbuvir and daclatasvir for 12 weeks. The virological response of patients with different IL-28B rs8099917 genotypes was monitored.The count data was compared by χ2 test.Results The distributions of IL-28B rs8099917 SNP were 84.33%for TT genotype and 15.67%for GT genotype, while the GG genotype was not detected.Of the 135 patients with acute HCV infection, 61 cases had spontaneous viral clearance , 74 cases were converted to chronic infection.The spontaneous clearance rates were 47.11% for TT genotype and 28.57% for GT genotype.There was no significant difference of the spontaneous clearance rate between TT and GT genotype (χ2 =1.072, P=0.30). In 163 chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients with PR treatment, the rate of sustained virological response (SVR) after 24 weeks follow-up was 86.50%(141 cases).SVR rate in patients with TT genotype was significantly higher than those with GT genotype (91.67%vs 47.36%, χ2 =28.212, P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference of the SVR rates between genotype 1b and 2a (χ2 =1.525, P>0.05).In 44 patients received sofosbuvir and daclatasvir treatment , both SVR rates of TT genotype and GT genotype were 100%. Conclusions In Huzhou area of Zhejiang Province , there is no significant correlation between IL-28B rs8099917 genotype and spontaneous clearance in patients with acute HCV infection , but the genotype of IL-28B rs8099917 is valuable for the prediction of PR treatment efficacy , the SVR rate of the TT genotype is superior to the GT genotype.The SVR rate can reach 100% in patients received combination therapy of sofosbuvir and daclatasvir independent of polymorphism of IL-28B.
