ABSTRACT
Objective] To assess the safety and immunogenicity of booster vaccination 10 μg of recombinant Hansenula hepatitis B vaccine in school-age children , and to provide scientific basis for the development of hepatitis B immunization strategies . [ Methods] A total of 2 101 children were selected as the safety study object and were inoculated with three injections of 10 μg Hansenula hepatitis B vaccine for observation of the incidence of abnormal reaction .Among them 404 schoolchildren were observed for immune effects.And comparison was made in the difference of antibody titers and antibody positive rate before and after immunization . [ Results] Of the 2 101 children, 85 cases of adverse reactions occurred and the incidence rate was 4.05%.Of the 85 cases, 84 had slight reactions , one with moderate reactions and none with severe reactions .After vaccination , the positive rate of protective antibodies increased to 100.00%, and antibody titers rose from 2.55 IU/L to 5 051.90 IU/L, the difference being statistically significant (Z =12.51, P =0.00). [Conclusion] Hansenula hepatitis B vaccine used for booster immunization in schoolchildren is of good security and fine immune effect .
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>Survey of the coastal city of Yantai, from human and swine hepatitis E virus (HEV) genotype correlation.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Application of reverse transcription nested polymerase chain reaction (RT-nPCR) method for local acute sporadic hepatitis E patients,normal population of HEV-IgM positive and local pig farm pigs were HEV RNA detection. And HEV RNA positive samples for cloning sequencing and sequence analysis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In 16 patients with acute sporadic hepatitis E in 7 cases of RNA positive stool specimens of HEV; 51 IgM positive sera of normal people in specimens with 1 HEV RNA positive; 34 pig bile specimens with 1 HEV RNA positive. Sequence analysis revealed the region HEV strains and swine strains in the ORF2 region of nucleotide sequence homology is 87%-98.1%. 7 strains of hepatitis E virus genotype in patients and 1 strains of swine hepatitis E virus genotypes are type IV, gene sequence homology between the 87%-98.1%; there were 6 patients and porcine gene sequence homology in 93.9%-98.1% between,for type a subtype; 1 patients and porcine gene sequence homology in 87%, for the type D subtype. Normal population of 1 cases of hepatitis E virus genotype for I type D subtype. Human and porcine HEV ORF2 gene fragment and HEV part I-IV representative strains were compared, and the nucleotide sequence homology were 82.5%-100%, 81.7%-92.9%, 81.4%-93.9%, 84.9%-100%.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The area population prevalence of HEV in the presence of 2 genotype 3 subtype genes, mainly to IV A, in pigs with popular HEV gene with a high homology; HEV type I in the crowd disperses in the presence of.</p>

Objective To study the prevalent characteristics and risk factors of viral hepatitis E in Yantai and the relative for strategy on viral hepatitis E control in the area. Methods Data on viral hepatitis E incidence reported by the Notifiable Infectious Disease Reporting System in 2005-2009 was analyzed. 2028 persons were chosen for hepatitis E virus (HEV) antibody detection by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay method. RT-nPCR method was applied to obtain the sequence of HEV in HEV cases. A case-control study was used to identify the risk factors of HEV infection.Results The distribution of HEV cases was sporadic in Yantai, and the annual incidence rate was 5.70/100 000, with spring as the prevalent season. Farmers were the main population involved and with those over the age of 40. Regional distribution was mainly along the coastline. Data from the sequential analysis showed that gene type of local patients was type 4 and healthy person whose HEV-IgM was positive was type 1. Finding from the case-control study suggested that eating seafoods,living condition in the households and unhealthy habits played important roles in the infection of HEV.Results from multiple logistic regression showed that eating seafood, with eat-out history, drinking alcohol and un-boiled water were the main risk factors in the infection of HEV. Conclusion The level of HE in Yantai will maintain in a high level, but there is no chance of epidemic outbreak of HE in large range. Population of incidence mainly concentrates on farmers.
