ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of an outbreak of respiratory tract infection caused by human rhinovirus （HRV） in a school in Nanxun District of Huzhou City， and provide scientific evidence for prevention and control of outbreaks of upper respiratory tract infection caused by HRV in the future. Methods The investigation was performed according to the Guidelines for Response to Outbreaks of Influenza-like Illness （2018 version）. It mainly referred to the records of nonattendance due to illness， morning and afternoon examination， and hospital treatment records， to search for cases. Then CDC staffs carried out epidemiological investigation on cases， interviewed the head teacher， and inspected the site. Throat swabs were collected for detection of SARS-CoV-2 and subsequently 14 common viruses that may cause upper respiratory tract infection. Results A total of 68 cases with HRV infection were identified. The first case and last case occurred on May 20 and 30， respectively. After a 3-day longest incubation period， there was no emerging case， suggesting the end of the outbreak. The incidence was 25.00% （11/44） in Class 101， 30.23% （13/43） in Class 109， 25.58% （11/43） in Class 110， 35.26% （16/45） in Class 211， and 39.96% （17/46） in Class 307. There was no significant difference in the incidence among classes （ χ 2=1.67， P >0.05）. The patients aged from 7 to 9 years. The incidence was 27.19% （31 / 114） in male and 34.58% （37/107） in female， with no significant difference （ χ 2=1.41， P >0.05）. The symptoms were mild， with no hospitalization， severe illness or death. The patients had mainly cough （100.00%）， sore throat （61.76%）， and runny nose （47.06%）， whereas had little muscle soreness （4.41%）. Of the patients， 69.12% visited hospitals， 23.53% took medicine by themselves， while 7.35% did not seek any medical treatment or medicine. Throat swabs were collected from 22 cases， testing negative for SARS-CoV-2. Then 14 common respiratory viruses were examined， of which HRV was positive in 16 cases. Conclusion Children with HRV infection have milder symptoms compared to influenza infection， which is difficult to be noticed by school teachers and parents. Students should maintain personal hygiene and develop health habits. Moreover， schools should strength relevant health education， implement morning and afternoon health inspection， and prevent students with illness to routinely go to schools.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyse the risk factors of postpartum hemorrhage in vaginal delivery patients with low-lying placenta.Methods:We retrospectively evaluated the data from January 2014 to December 2015 of 345 cases of vaginal delivery pregnant women with low-lying placenta.According to postpartum hemorrhage,the data were divided into two groups:single factor analysis and multivariate logister regression analysis were used to assess the risk factors.Results:Postpartum hemorrhage in 47 cases,the total rate is 13.6％.Univariate analysis showed that assisted reproductive conception,history of prenatal hemorrhage,placenta from the cervix within the distance ≤ 10 mm,placental adhesions were more prone to postpartum hemorrhage(P ＜ 0.05).Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that assisted reproductive conception (OR =8.181,95％ CI 3.072-21.791) and placental adhesions(OR=6.543,95％ CI 3.107-13.775) were independent risk factors for postpartum hemorrhage.Conclusions:Systematic prenatal care,carefully transvaginal ultrasound examination before labor and evaluation of these risk factors,may be able to provide a better choice of mode of delivery to low-lying placenta patients and predict postpartum hemorrhage risk,thereby reducing its postpartum hemorrhage rate.
