ABSTRACT
Objective Through the analysis of the pathogens distribution of out-patient department and emergency department patients with diarrhea from Shenzhen Hospital of Peking University in 2013~2014,so as to provide reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of diarrhea disease.While understanding the improved Salmonella detection results.Methods Var-ied pathogenic bacteria were isolated and identified from 1 719 diarhea stool samples of native Shenzhen Hospital of Peking University from 2013 to 2014 through enrich culture,separate culture,biochemistry,serology etc.Pathogenic virus were test-ed for 451 watery stool specimens by fluorescence PCR.Analyzed statistical differences between the direct inoculation and selenite cystine broth enrichment for Salmonella.Results Picked out 143 disease germs from 1 719 examples diarrhea pa-tient’s stool samples,among which there were 25 strains of ETEC,12 strains of EPEC,8 strains of EAEC,1 strains of EIEC,19 strains ofVibrio parahemolyticus,76 strains Salmonella,2 strains Shigella and 0 strain ofVibrio cholera.There were 10 samples with two disease germs timely.Picked out 189 disease viruses from 451 examples diarrhea patient’s stool without disease germs,among which there were 79 Rotaviruspositive,91 Norwalkvirus positive,9 Adenoviruspositive,10 Astrovirus positive.There were 4 samples with Rotavirus and Norwalkvirus timely.After Salmonella ways to improve the positive rate of 0.6% (17/2 627)increased to 4.4% (76/1 719),χ2=67.2,P<0.01,the difference was statistically signifi-cant.Conclusion The detectable rate of Salmonella and Norwalk virus was the majority,and the clinic enhance the test of the diarrhea pathogenic microorganism,including the improvement of detection method,to reduce the missing rate of them,to provide the scientific basis for the diagnostical therapectic measures.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Noroviruses (NVs) are responsible for most cases of human nonbacterial gastroenteritis worldwide. Some parameters for the purification of NV virus-like particles (VLPs) such as ease of production and yield were studied for future development of vaccines and diagnostic tools. In this study, VLPs were produced by the expression of the VP1 and VP2 gene cassette of the Brazilian NV isolate, and two purification methods were compared: cesium chloride (CsCl) gradient centrifugation and ion-exchange chromatography (IEC). IEC produced more and purer VLPs of NV compared to CsCl gradient centrifugation.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the epidemiology of Norwalk virus enteritis in Hospital,and find the proper program to control it.METHODS Epidemiology and clinical data research was given to the 13 patients who were suspected to infected with Norwalk virus in our department of cardiac medicine.RESULTS The aggregation of enteritis was found in our department from Feb 14,2008 to Feb 20,2008.The bacterial culture of stool of the patients was negative,so we supposed to detect the Norwalk virus in the patients stools and find 4 positive specimens.We gave the patients with symptomatic treatment and all the patients were cured.Then,strict isolation for the patients with Norwalk virus infection and disinfection to of environment of our department was given.No more patients were infected with Norwalk virus.CONCLUSIONS It′s possible to control the Norwalk virus infection,and strict isolation and disinfection of the environment as early as possible are crucial to control the Norwalk virus infection.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To understand the epidemiological and clinical features of enteritis caused by Norwalk virus in the hospital and observe the effectiveness of prevention and control system in order to provide the basis for the control of outbreaks.METHODS By adopting field epidemiological and clinical data study,investigation and analysis were conducted on eight cases of suspected patients with enteritis caused by Norwalk virus in the hospital.Control on gastrointestinal infections and droplet infection was implemented.RESULTS Bacterial test on feces was conducted on eight cases of suspected gastroenteritis caused by Norwalk virus.Results were negative,thus diagnosed as viral infection;among them,virology test on feces was conducted on two cases which were diagnosed as enteritis caused by Norwalk virus.All patients were recovered after proper treatment and no new cases were found after timely disinfection.CONCLUSIONS The epidemic outbreak of enteritis caused by Norwalk virus has been timely and effectively controlled in the hospital;because communication channel on infection control management is open,contingency plans are effective and the prevention and control taskforce functions well.
