Analysis of the characteristics of viral infections in children with diarrhea in Beijing from 2018 to 2022 / 中华预防医学杂志

Objective: To explore the characteristics of viral infections in children with diarrhea in Beijing from 2018 to 2022. Methods: Real-time PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were used to detect viral nucleic acid of Norovirus (NoV), Sappovirus (SaV), Astrovirus (AstV), Enteric Adenovirus (AdV) or antigen of Rotavirus (RV) in 748 stool samples collected from Beijing Capital Institute of Pediatrics from January 2018 to December 2021. Subsequently, the reverse transcription PCR or PCR method was used to amplify the target gene of the positive samples after the initial screening, followed by sequencing, genotyping and evolution analysis, so as to obtain the characteristics of these viruses. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using Mega 6.0. Results: From 2018 to 2021, the overall detection rate of the above five common viruses was 37.6%(281/748)in children under 5 years old in Beijing. NoV, Enteric AdV and RV were still the top three diarrhea-related viruses, followed by AstV and SaV, accounting for 41.6%, 29.2%, 27.8%, 8.9% and 7.5%, respectively. The detection rate of co-infections with two or three diarrhea-related viruses was 4.7% (35/748). From the perspective of annual distribution, the detection rate of Enteric AdV was the highest in 2021, while NoV was predominant in the other 4 years. From the perspective of genetic characteristics, NoV was predominant by GⅡ.4, and after the first detection of GⅡ.4[P16] in 2020, it occupied the first two gene groups together with GⅡ.4[P31]. Although the predominant RV was G9P[8], the rare epidemic strain G8P[8] was first detected in 2021. The predominant genotypes of Enteric AdV and AstV were Ad41 and HAstV-1. SaV was sporadic spread with a low detection rate. Conclusion: Among the diarrhea-related viruses infected children under 5 years of age in Beijing, the predominant strains of NoV and RV have changed and new sub-genotypes have been detected for the first time, while the predominant strains of AstV and Enteric AdV are relatively stable.

External Quality Analysis of Quality Indicators on Specimen Acceptability / 现代检验医学杂志

Objective To analyze the status of quality indicators(QI) on specimen acceptability and establish preliminary qual ity specification.Methods Web based External Quality Assessment system was used to collect data of laboratories partici pated in "Medical quality control indicators in clinical laboratory" from 2015 to 2017,including once in 2015 and 2017 and twice in 2016.Rate and sigma scales were used to evaluate incorrect sample type,incorrect sample container,incorrect fill level and anticoagulant sample clotted.The 25th percentile (P25) and 75th percentile (P75) of the distribution of each QI were employed to establish the high,medium and low specification.Results 5 346,7 593,5 950 and 6 874 laboratories sub mitted the survey results respectively.The P50 of biochemistry (except incorrect fill level),immunology and microbiology reach to 6σ.The P50 of clinical laboratory is 4 to 6σ except for incorrect sample container.There is no significant change of the continuous survey results.Based on results in 2017 to establish the quality specification,the P25 and P75 of the four QIs is 0 and 0.084 4 ％,0 and 0.047 6 ％,0 and 0.114 2 ％,0 and 0.078 4 ％,respectively.Conclusion According to the results of the survey,most laboratories had a faire performance in biochemistry,immunology and microbiology,and clinical laboratory needs to be strengthened.Laboratories should strengthen the laboratory information system construction to ensure the actual and reliable data collection,and make a long time monitoring to achieve a better quality.

Detecting Salmonella with matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry / 中国人兽共患病学报

In order to optimize the matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) method for Salmonella identification,study the target board pollution situation of different pretreatment methods,and establish a safe and effective method for detection of Salmonella,we applied MALDI-TOF-MS technique to detect 4 standard strains-of Salmonella under different culture conditions and sample preparation method,and established optimization program.MALDI target board was detected under different preparation treatments.The optimization method was used to detect 33 strains Salmonella which isolated from diarrhea patients' stool.Identification results were compared with serological results.The study found that MALDI-TOF-MS method could accurate identify of Salmonella in different pretreatment methods and culture medium.Thirty-three strains of Salmonella identified by MALDI-TOF-MS method were all accurate appraisal in genus level,19 strains of them were completely consistent with the serotyping identification results,14 strains of them were not consistent with the serotyping identification results.There was no bacteria growth on the target board in different pretreatment methods.MALDI-TOF-MS method can in a fast,convenient,safe and accurate way identify Salmonella,and it can become an effective means for identification of Salmonella.

Effect of dimethyl fumarate on rats with chronic pancreatitis

OBJECTIVE@#To discuss the effect of dimethyl fumarate (DMF) on rats with l-arginine induced chronic pancreatitis (CP).@*METHODS@#Male Wistar rats were given DMF treatment (25 mg/kg) by oral lavage method; then Wistar rats were given the intraperitoneal injection of l-arginine for 5 times (250 mg/100 kg, twice per time, each interval of 1 h) for building of CP model. Rats were divided into control group, CP group, DMF group and CP + DMF group. Rats in CP + DMF group were given the oral intragastric administration of DMF (25 mg/kg), while rats in control group and CP group were given the equal volume of normal saline. The weight of rats was evaluated and the intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test was performed (IPGTT, 2 g/kg). The islet of rats was isolated and then flow cytometry was employed to evaluate the quality and activity of islets. Meanwhile, the histology of non-endocrine tissues and levels of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected.@*RESULTS@#Compared with control group, the weight of rats in CP group was significantly reduced at week 2, 4 and 6; the blood glucose significantly increased, AUC increased, the histopathological scores of pancreatic atrophy, acinar injury, edema and cellular infiltration increased, levels of MDA and MPO increased, the islet equivalent and islet activity decreased at 0, 30, 60, 120 and 180 min. Compared with CP group, the weight of rats in CP + DMF group significantly increased at week 2, 4 and 6; the blood glucose significantly decreased, AUC decreased, the histopathological scores of pancreatic atrophy, acinar injury, edema and cellular infiltration decreased, levels of MDA and MPO decreased, the islet equivalent and islet activity increased at 0, 30, 60, 120 and 180 min.@*CONCLUSIONS@#DMF treatment can improve CP induced by l-arginine and islet function in rats.
