Analysis of HA1 gene of influenza A H1N1 pdm09 virus from a clustered human cases / 中华实验和临床病毒学杂志

Objective@#To understand the viral etiology of a clustered case of human infection outbreak in the middle school of Huai’an city.@*Methods@#Nasopharyngeal swab samples from patients were collected and rapidly detected by Real-time RT-PCR and the target virus isolated in cells. Furthermore, HA1 segments of target virus were amplified by RT-PCR and sequenced. The genetic and phylogenetic analysis based on HA1 genes was computed.@*Results@#Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viral nucleic acid in 11 nasopharyngeal swab samples from patients in the outbreak were positive. Compared to the vaccine strains A/California/07/2009, the Huai’an isolates, nucleotide identity was 97.7%-98.1%, and amino acid identity was 96.6%-97.4%. Phylogenetic analysis of HA1 segment sequences indicated that the Huai’an strains from the outbreak were related closely to the viruses isolated in the year of 2014. Sequence analysis indicated that the Huai’an isolates had no amino acid substitution in the receptor binding sites and glycosylation sites, while in the Ca1 of antigenic determinant of HA1 the Huai’an isolates had an amino acid substitution of S for T at 220.@*Conclusions@#The pathogen of the clustered case of human infection was Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus. Though the Huai’an isolates had one animo acid substitution in the Ca1 of antigenic determinant, the antigenicity characteristic remained unchanged.

Application of nucleic acid detection and antibody detection in HIV infection / 国际检验医学杂志

Objective To compare the accuracy of nucleic acid detection and antibody detection for diagnosing human immunode‐ficiency virus(HIV) infection .Methods Retrospectively analysed data of nucleic acid detection and antibody detection from 124 ca‐ses of patients diagnosed with HIV infection from 2005 to 2014 .The positive rates of the two methods were compared respectively in patients with early‐stage of HIV infection(76 cases) and patients with intermediate and advanced stage of HIV infection (48 ca‐ses) .Results In patients with early‐stage of HIV infectionn ,the positive rate of nucleic acid detection (94 .74% ) was higher than that of antibody detection (84 .21% );while in patients with intermediate and advanced stage of HIV infection ,the positive rate of antibody detection(97 .92% ) was higher than that of nucleic acid detection (81 .25% );both had statistically significant difference (P<0 .05) .Conclusion On the early stage of HIV infection ,the accuracy of nucleic acid detection is higher than that of antibody detection ;while on the intermediate and advanced stage of HIV infection ,antibody detection shows better accuracy .

Establishment of TaqManˉBHQ probe realˉtime fluorescence RTˉPCR for quantitative detection of Soul virus / 国际检验医学杂志

Objective To establish a rapid method of real-time fluorescence RT-PCR to quantify Soul virus.Methods The pro-fessional software was adopted to design the primer and the TaqMan-BHQ probe.With artificially synthesized L gene segment as the template of Soul virus,the real-time RT-PCR for detecting Soul virus was researched.Results The Ct value of templates had a good linear relationship with the log value of the template diluted concentration.The standard curve was Y =-3.607X +41.84, r2 =0.998,the PCR amplification efficiency was 108.1%,its lowest detection limit was 53.2 copies/μL.Conclusion Applying the real-time fluorescence RT-PCR by the TaqMan-BHQ probe for detecting nucleic acid of Seoul virus has the characteristics of short time-consuming and high sensitivity.
