ABSTRACT
Wastewater surveillance is a useful complement to clinical testing for managing COVID-19. While good agreement has been found between community-scale wastewater and clinical data, little is known about sub-community relationships between the two data types. Moreover, effects of non-detects in qPCR wastewater data have been largely overlooked. We used data collected from September 2020-June 2021 in Davis, California (USA) to address these gaps. By applying a predictive probability model to spatially disaggregate clinical results, we compared wastewater and clinical data at the community scale, in 16 sampling zones isolating city sub-regions, and in seven zones isolating high-priority building complexes or neighborhoods. We found reasonable agreement between wastewater and clinical data at all scales. Greater activity (i.e., more frequent detections) in clinical data tended to be mirrored in wastewater data. Small, isolated clinical-data spikes were often matched as well. We also developed a method for handling such non-detects using multiple imputation and compared results to (i) single imputation using half the qPCR limit of detection, (ii) single imputation using maximum qPCR cycle number, and (iii) non-detect censoring. Apparent wastewater trends were significantly influenced by non-detect handling. Multiple imputation improved correlation relative to single imputation, though not necessarily relative to censoring.

ABSTRACT
Objective To comparatively study the difference status of lymphocyte subsets and activated T lymphocyte between preoperation and intraoperation,and to investigate the influence of operation on lymphocyte subsets and their activation in the pa-tients with malignant tumors.Methods The lymphocyte subsets and their activated cells were determined in 42 cases of common malignant tumors by the flow cytometry.Results The levels of CD3 + ,CD4 + ,CD8 + cells during intraoperation were obviously de-creased compared with preoperation,the difference in CD3 + and CD4 + had statistical significance(P 0.05).NK,CD19 + ,CD3 + HLA-DR+ were significantly increased,the difference of NK and CD19+ had no statistical significance(P >0.05),while the difference with CD3 + HLA-DR+ had statistical significance(P <0.05). Conclusion The cellular immune function in the patients with malignant tumor is in inhibitory status.Operation makes the cellular immune function to be further injured.The stress responses of operation and trauma increase the expression of NK,CD19 and acti-vated T lymphocytes.It is suggested that the patients with malignant tumor should use the immune response modifier before opera-tion to enhance the cellular immune function for ensuring the effect of postoperative radiochemotherapy sequential treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To improve the sensitivity of detection of protein P16 by FCM.Methods Protein P16 of blood cells and tumor cells in biopsy samples were labeled simultaneously with anti-CD45 and anti-P16 fluorescent antibody.The rates of CD45+P16+ cells and CD45-P16+ cells were calculated by FCM.Results The low expression rates of protein P16 in normal blood cells and in tumor cells in biopsy samples were 15.39%(6/39) and 69.23%(27/39),respectively, which had a significant differences (P
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the influence of surgical operation on cellular kinetics in peripheral blood monocytes of patients with malignant tumors.Methods:Apoptosis level and proliferative activity were measured and compared between before and after surgical opration in peripheral blood monocytes of patients with malignant tumors.Rusults:Apoptosis level of patients with malignant tumors after surgical operation was lower than that of patients before surgical operation( P
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study relativity between tumor metastasis and the level of immune competent cells from patients with malignant carcinoma.Methods:The percentage of NK cells and CTL cells and monocyte/macrophage cells were measured and analyzed in tumor tissue and peripheral blood from patients with malignant carcinoma by flow cytometry.Results:NK cells, CTL cells and monocyte/macrophage cells of tumor tissue and peripheral blood were lower than those of normal control groups ( P
ABSTRACT
Objective: To study tumor chemotherapy on IL-2R express in peripheral blood cells of patients with malignant tumors.Methods: CD + 25 cells percentage rate of peripheral blood cells in patients with or without chemotherapy was done.Results: CD + 25 cells percentage rate in malignant tumor was lower than those of normal contrlos (P
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of radiotherapy on cellular kinetics of peripheral blood monocytes in patients with malignant tumors. Methods In patients with malignant tumors, apoptosis and proliferative activity of peripheral blood monocytes were monitored and compared before, during and after radiotherapy. Results Apoptosis and S phase fraction in cancer patients on radiotherapy were higher as compared to these without radiotherapy or the normal control group (8.93%?6.94%, 0.20%?0.20%, 0.15% ?0.13%, and 1.23%?1.15%, 0.54%?0.46%, and 0.33%?0.26%,respectively,F=5.77, P
