Objective To report the diagnosis of a canine distemper virus outbreak among a colony of cynomolgus monkeys at an experimental monkey farm in 2019. MethodsA total of 46 samples were collected from 21 diseased cynomolgus monkeys (exhibiting symptoms such as facial rash, skin scurf, runny nose, and diarrhea) and from one deceased monkey at an experimental monkey breeding farm in South China in late 2019, including serum, skin rash swabs, and anticoagulated whole blood, liver, lung, and skin tissues were submitted for testing. All submitted samples were tested for canine distemper virus gene fragments using real-time quantitative PCR, while immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect canine distemper virus nucleoprotein in lung tissues. The skin tissue of the deceased monkey was ground and sieved. The filtrate was inoculated into a monolayer MDCK cell line for virus isolation. Then, whole-genome sequencing was performed to identify the isolated virus. The Clustal Omega tool was used to align and analyze the homology of different Asian canine distemper virus isolates. A phylogenetic tree was constructed, followed by genetic evolutionary analysis. ResultsClinical retrospective analysis revealed that the diseased cynomolgus monkeys exhibited symptoms similar to those observed in cynomolgus monkeys infected with measles virus. Necropsy findings showed red lesions in the lungs and significant hemorrhage in the colonic mucosa. Real-time quantitative PCR detected canine distemper virus nucleic acid in the serum, skin rash swabs of the infected monkeys, and various tissue samples of the deceased monkey, all of which tested positive. Calculation based on the standard curve formula indicated the viral load was highest in the skin tissue. Immunohistochemical staining of the deceased monkey's lung tissue demonstrated aggregation of CDV nucleoprotein in alveolar epithelial cells, bronchi, and bronchioles. A CDV strain was isolated from the skin tissue of the deceased monkey. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that this strain shares the closest relationship (98.86%) with the Asian-1 type canine distemper virus strain CDV/dog/HCM/33/140816, previously identified in dogs in Vietnam. ConclusionBased on comprehensive analysis of clinical symptoms, nucleic acid detection, viral protein immunohistochemistry, and whole-genome sequencing results, the diagnosis confirms that the cynomolgus monkeys in this facility are infected with canine distemper virus. It is recommended to include canine distemper virus as a routine surveillance target in captive monkey populations. Additionally, this study provides a foundation for further research on the molecular biological characteristics of canine distemper virus.

Objective:To explore the effect of personalized nutritional support based on nutritional risk screening on nutritional status and prognosis of patients with inflammatory bowel disease.Methods:A total of 100 patients with inflammatory bowel disease admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 2021 to September 2022 were selected as the study objects, and were divided into control group and observation group according to the random number method. NRS 2002 nutritional risk screening was performed on all patients. The control group was given routine nursing and nutritional support. On this basis, the observation group received patient-centered personalized nutrition support program shared by doctors and patients. The nutritional status, inflammatory indicators and prognosis of the two groups were compared and observed at admission, discharge, 1 month after discharge, and 3 months after discharge.Results:From admission to 3 months after discharge, albumin, prealbumin, nitrogen balance, triceps skinfold thickness in the two groups were significantly increased ( F = 8.43, 14.32, 10.27, 23.41, 7.66, 8.91, 6.84, 8.90, P < 0.05), while the malnutrition inflammation score was significantly decreased ( F = 4.84, 7.42, P < 0.05). Albumin, prealbumin, nitrogen balance, triceps skinfold thickness in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group at 3 months after discharge ( t = 7.95, 17.43, 6.55, 6.72, P < 0.001), and the malnutrition inflammation score was significantly lower than that of the control group ( t = 6.95, P < 0.001). As treatment progressed, the levels of C-reactive protein and fecal calprotectin gradually decreased and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate slowed down in both groups compared with the admission, with statistical significance ( F = 9.03, 11.28, 18.37, 19.20, 32.42, 28.88, P < 0.001). The levels of C-reactive protein and fecal calprotectin and erythrocyte sedimentation rate in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group 3 months after discharge ( t = 8.29, 7.99, 10.34, P < 0.001). Patients in the observation group had good compliance with the formulated diet plan, and no related rejection events occurred. The readmission rate of patients in the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group ( χ2 = 10.18, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Individualized nutrition support programs based on nutritional risk screening can help improve the nutritional status and disease status of patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Objective To explore the application value of heparin binding protein(HBP),neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio(NLR),lymphocyte to monocyte ratio(LMR),and platelet to lymphocyte ratio(PLR)in the evaluation of immune function reconstruction in human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)infected individuals/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS)patients.Methods Collect 138 HIV/AIDS patients from the Outpatient Department of Hangzhou Xixi Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang Chinese Medical University from January 1,to June 30,2023.According to CD4+T lymphocyte counts after antiretroviral treatment,categorize patients into groups with good immune function reconstruction(n=108)and poor immune function reconstruction(n=30).Compare the levels of HBP,NLR,LMR,and PLR between two groups,receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the application value of HBP,NLR,LMR,and PLR in the reconstruction of patient immune function.Results The NLR and PLR of group with good immune function reconstruction was significantly higher than that of group with poor immune function reconstruction(P＜0.05).The LMR of group with good immune function reconstruction were significantly lower than those of group with poor immune function reconstruction(P＜0.05).The HBP between two groups was no significant differences(P＞0.05).LMR had the best efficacy in evaluating whether immune function reconstruction was good in HIV/AIDS patients area under the curve(AUC)=0.803,PLR was the second(AUC)=0.796,NLR was poor(AUC)=0.728.Conclusion NLR,LMR,and PLR are closely related to the immune function of HIV/AIDS patients and can be used as detection indicators to evaluate whether the immune function reconstruction of HIV/AIDS patients is good.

Blood glucose control is not only the key issue of diabetes management, but also one of the goals of diabetes treatment.Pain associated with self-monitoring of blood glucose(SMBG)results in poor compliance with blood glucose testing.With the advent of continuous glucose monitoring(CGM), it is more convenient to detect blood glucose and realize dynamic glucose monitoring.Continuous glucose monitoring(CGM)is widely used in adults with diabetes, and the usage among children is also increasing.Many studies have conducted clinical trials on the use of CGM in children with diabetes, initially confirming the use of CGM in children with diabetes.However, some studies still have controversies on the use of CGM in children.In this paper, the clinical studies of CGM in children′s diabetes in recent years were summarized to further understand the application of CGM and its combined insulin pump in pediatrics.

Objective: Comparing the benefit of Abidor, lopinavir/ritonavir and recombinant interferon α-2b triple combination antiviral therapy and lopinavir/ritonavir and interferon dual combination antiviral therapy to hospitalized novel coronavirus pneumonia 2019 in Zhejiang province. Methods: A multi-center prospective study was carried out to compare the effect of triple combination antiviral therapy with dual combination antiviral therapy in 15 medical institutions of Zhejiang Province. All patients were treated with recombinant interferon α-2b (5 million U, 2 times/d) aerosol inhalation. 196 patients were treated with abidol (200 mg, 3 times/d) + lopinavir / ritonavir (2 tablets, 1 time/12 h) as the triple combination antiviral treatment group. 41 patients were treated with lopinavir / ritonavir (2 tablets, 1 time/12 h) as the dual combination antiviral treatment group. The patients who received triple combination antiviral therapy were divided into three groups: within 48 hours, 3-5 days and > 5 days after the symptom onset. To explore the therapeutic effects of triple combination antiviral drugs and dual combination antiviral drugs, as well as triple combination antiviral drugs with different antiviral initiate time. SPSS17.0 software was used to analyze the data. Results: The time of virus nucleic acid turning negative was (12.2 ± 4.7) days in the triple combination antiviral drug group, which was shorter than that in the dual combination antiviral drug group [(15.0 ± 5.0) days] (t = 6.159, P < 0.01 ). The length of hospital stay [12 (9, 17) d] in the triple combination antiviral drug group was also shorter than that in the dual combination antiviral drug group [15 (10, 18) d] (H = 2.073, P < 0.05). Comparing the antiviral treatment which was started within 48 hours, 3-5 days and > 5 days after the symptom onset of triple combination antiviral drug group, the time from the symptom onset to the negative of viral shedding was 13 (10,16.8), 17 (13,22) and 21 (18-24) days respectively (Z = 32.983, P < 0.01), and the time from antiviral therapy to the negative of viral shedding was (11.8±3.9) , (13.5±5.1) and (11.2±4.3) d. The differences among the three groups were statistically significant (Z=32.983 and 6.722, P<0.01 or<0.05). Conclusions The triple combination antiviral therapy of Abidor, Lopinavir/Litonavir and recombinant interferon α-2b showed shorter viral shedding time and hospitalization time compared with the dual combination antiviral therapy. The earlier the time to initiate triple antiviral treatment, the shorter the time of virus shedding.

Objective To investigate the dynamic changes in early gastric antrum contraction in patients with craniocerebral injury. Methods The patients with craniocerebral injury admitted to neurosurgery intensive care unit (ICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from July to November in 2018 were enrolled. The changes in antral contraction frequency (ACF), antral contraction amplitude (ACA) and antral motility index (MI) were dynamically observed at 1-6 days after injury by ultrasonography. According to Glasgow coma score (GCS), the patients were divided into moderate to severe craniocerebral (GCS ≤ 11) and mild craniocerebral injury groups (GCS > 11). The differences in ACF, ACA and MI between the two groups were compared to observe the effect of craniocerebral injury on gastric antral motility. The patients were divided into simple supratentorial and supratentorial combined infratentorial lesion groups according to the lesion location of craniocerebral injury. The differences in ACF, ACA and MI between the two groups were compared to analyze the influence of lesion location on gastric antrum activity. Results A total of 68 patients with craniocerebral injury were screened during the study period, 50 patients were in accorded with the admission criteria, 17 patients were withdrawn from the observation because they could not tolerate the ultrasonography of gastric antrum or discharged from ICU. Finally, 33 patients were enrolled in the analysis. ① The ACF, ACA and MI at 1 day after injury were lower [ACF (times/min): 1.67 (0.00, 2.00), ACA: 42.06 (0.00, 44.45)%, MI: 0.70 (0.00, 0.87)], and then gradually increased, till 6 days after injury, ACF was 1.83 (1.25, 2.79) times/min, ACA was 56.80 (33.25, 60.77)%, and MI was 0.89 (0.50, 1.70), which showed no differences among all time points (all P > 0.05). ② The contractile function of gastric antrum in two groups of patients with different degrees of craniocerebral injury was decreased, especially ACA in patients with moderate to severe craniocerebral injury (n = 22), which showed significant differences at 3 days and 5 days after injury as compared with mild craniocerebral injury [n = 11; 3 days: 35.05 (0.00, 53.69)% vs. 58.51 (49.90, 65.45)%, 5 days: 39.88 (0.00, 77.01)% vs. 56.94 (41.71, 66.66)%, both P < 0.05], indicating that the degree of craniocerebral injury affected the contractive function of gastric antrum. However, there was no significant difference in ACF or MI between the two groups at different time points after injury. ③ The contractile function of gastric antrum was decreased after craniocerebral injury in both groups of patients with different lesion locations of craniocerebral injury. The ACF, ACA, and MI at 3-4 days in patients with supratentorial combined infratentorial lesion (n = 12) were slightly lower than those in patients with simple supratentorial lesion [n = 21; 3 days: ACF (times/min) was 0.83 (0.00, 2.00) vs. 2.25 (0.00, 3.00), ACA was 35.05 (0.00, 53.60)% vs. 49.93 (0.00, 63.44)%, MI was 0.29 (0.00, 1.07) vs. 1.23 (0.00, 1.61); 4 days: ACF (times/min) was 1.42 (0.50, 2.63) vs. 2.00 (1.63, 2.63), ACA was 30.45 (21.69, 60.61)% vs. 43.29 (38.41, 53.35)%, MI was 0.50 (0.15, 1.45) vs. 0.97 (0.66, 1.28)] without statistical differences (all P > 0.05), indicating that the lesion location might not affect the contractive function of gastric antrum. Conclusion In the early stage of craniocerebral injury, the contractile function of gastric antrum was decreased, and the more severe the craniocerebral injury, the worse contractive function of gastric antrum.[Key words] Craniocerebral injury; Antral contraction; Enteral nutrition; Antral ultrasonography
