Objective:To analyze the dynamic changes and possible influencing factors of anti-2019 novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) neutralizing antibody in confirmed Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases.Methods:Microneutralization was used to test the anti-2019-nCoV neutralizing antibody. Excel 2007 and SPSS 22.0 were used for data processing and analysis.Results:There were 420 serum samples collected from 155 confirmed COVID-19 cases. These serum samples contained acute phase serum, convalescent phase serum and serum from cases recovered for about six months. The sampling time was 0-221 days after the onset of COVID-19. The geometric mean titer (GMT) of anti-2019-nCoV neutralizing antibody was 1∶13 at 1 week, and 1∶31 at 2 week. The titers of anti-2019-nCoV neutralizing antibody of individual cases were still<1∶4 on the 15 th day. The GMT was all over 1: 52 (13×4) at 6-32 week. Taking 1: 64 as the cut-off point, the serum anti-2019-nCoV neutralizing antibody positive rates was 30.56% in acute phase serum samples (0-14 d, 0-2 w), 82.31% in convalescent phase serum samples (36-63 d, 6-9 w) and 86.52% in serum samples from cases recovered for about six months (183-210 d, 27-30 w). Statistical analysis showed that there was no significant difference in anti-2019-nCoV neutralizing antibody levels at the other weeks except 1-2 week ( χ2=9.270, P=0.931), there was no statistically differences in gender, age and occupation of the cases, and also between the normal and mild cases ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The serum anti-2019-nCoV neutralizing antibody level is only statistically correlated with the disease progression of COVID-19, and maintain the protective level from 3 to 30 week.
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is recognized as an emerging infectious disease. This study aimed to investigate the pathogenic mechanism of SFTS. A total of 100 subjects were randomly included in the study. Cytokine levels were detected by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay and the viral load was detected by micro drop digital PCR. The results showed that levels of interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), IL‐8, IL‐10, IFN‐inducible protein‐10 (IP‐10), monocyte chemoattractant protein‐1 (MCP‐1), macrophage inflammatory protein‐1α (MIP‐1α), transforming growth factor‐β1 (TGF‐β1), and regulated upon activation normal T cell expressed and secreted factor (RANTES) differed significantly among the SFTS patient group, healthy people group, and asymptomatic infection group (p < .05). Compared to the healthy people group, the patient group had increased cytokine levels (IL‐6, IL‐10, IP‐10, MCP‐1, and IFN‐γ) but reduced levels of IL‐8, TGF‐β1, and RANTES (p < .0167). IL‐6, IL‐8, IL‐10, IP‐10, MCP‐1, MIP‐1α, TGF‐β1, and the RANTES levels had different trends after the onset of the disease. IL‐6, IL‐10, IP‐10, and MCP‐1 levels in severe patients were higher than those in mild patients (p < .05). There was a positive correlation between viral load and IL‐6 and IP‐10 but a negative correlation between viral load and RANTES. SFTSV could cause a cytokine change: the cytokine levels of patients had different degrees of fluctuation after the onset of the disease. The levels of IL‐6 and IL‐8 in the asymptomatic infection group were found between the SFTS patients group and the healthy people group. The levels of IL‐6, IL‐10, IP‐10, and MCP‐1 in the serum could reflect the severity of the disease, and the levels of IL‐6, IP‐10, and RANTES were correlated with the viral load.

Abstract Background Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease with the high case-fatality rate, and lack of vaccines. We aimed to systematically analysed the epidemiological characteristics, clinical signs, routine laboratory diagnosis, risk factors, and outcomes. Methods Documents on SFTS were collected by searching the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wan Fang Data, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases from 2011 to 2018. Meta-analysis was performed by using Review Manager and Stata software. Results Twenty-five articles involving 4143 cases were included. Diarrhea (odds ratio (OR) =1.60, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.06 to 2.42, P = 0.02), and vomiting (OR = 1.56, 95% CI: 1.01 to 2.39, P = 0.04) on admission were associated with the fatal outcomes of SFTS. Compared to patients with mild symptoms, patients with severe symptoms had significantly elevated levels of lactic acid dehydrogenase (standard mean difference (SMD) =1.27, 95% CI: 0.59 to 1.94), alanine aminotransferase (SMD = 0.55, 95% CI: 0.24 to 0.85), aspirate aminotransferase (SMD = 1.01, 95% CI: 0.69 to 1.32), and creatine kinase (SMD = 1.04, 95% CI: 0.74 to 1.33) but had reduced platelet counts (SMD = -0.87, 95% CI: − 1.16 to − 0.58) and albumin levels (SMD = -1.00, 95% CI: − 1.32 to − 0.68). The risk factors for poor prognosis included age (mean difference (MD) =6.88, 95% CI: 5.41 to 8.35) and farming (OR = 2.01, 95% CI: 1.06 to 3.80). For the risk factors of contracting SFTS, the incidence of SFTS related to tick bites was 24% [95% CI: 0.18 to 0.31]. The pooled case-fatality rate of SFTS patients was 18% [95% CI: 0.16 to 0.21]. Conclusions China is the country with the highest incidence of SFTS. May to July was the peak of the epidemic, and farmers were a high-risk group. The risk factor for SFTS included age (poor prognosis) and tick bites (contracting SFTS). Patients with severe diarrhea and vomiting symptoms on admission should be noted. Clinicians could use routine laboratory parameters and clinical symptoms as references for clinically suspected cases, classification of SFTS, and timely treatment, especially in basic hospitals.

Objective To survey avian influenza A viruses (AIVs) in the environment and explore the reasons for the surge in human H7N9 cases. Methods A total of 1,045 samples were collected from routine surveillance on poultry-related environments and 307 samples from human H7N9 cases-exposed environments in Henan from 2016 to 2017. The nucleic acids of influenza A (Flu A), H5, H7, and H9 subtypes were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results A total of 27 H7N9 cases were confirmed in Henan from 2016 to 2017, 24 had a history of live poultry exposure, and 15 had H7N9 virus detected in the related live poultry markets (LPMs). About 96% (264/275) Flu A positive-environmental samples were from LPMs. H9 was the main AIV subtype (10.05%) from routine surveillance sites with only 1 H7-positive sample, whereas 21.17% samples were H7-positive in H7N9 cases-exposed environments. Samples from H7N9 cases-exposed LPMs (47.56%) had much higher AIVs positive rates than those from routine surveillance sites (12.34%). The H7+H9 combination of mixed infection was 78.18% (43/55) of H7-positive samples and 41.34% (43/104) of H9-positive samples. Conclusion The contamination status of AIVs in poultry-related environments is closely associated with the incidence of human infection caused by AIVs. Therefore, systematic surveillance of AIVs in LPMs in China is essential for the detection of novel reassortant viruses and their potential for interspecies transmission.
After we published our preliminary study on the use of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and curated E. coli toxin databases on the identification of E. coli Shiga toxins (Stxs) in the Journal of Proteomics in year 2018, we were encouraged to further refine the method and test clinical isolates. In this study, different concentrations of mitomycin C (MMC) and ciprofloxacin (CF), two common antibiotic/chemotherapy agents capable of stimulating Stx production, were first tested and compared on three reference strains and eight clinical isolates to observe the toxin induction and subsequent identification. Notably, no differences were observed between the two agents other than the concentrations applied. Seventeen more clinical isolates were then tested using fixed MMC and CF concentrations and sample amount. This study confirms that the majority of stx2-positive E. coli strains can be stimulated to produce sufficient toxin for confident identification. This does not occur with stx1-positive E. coli isolates, however, despite the fact that both Stxs can be identified for several isolates without MMC or CF stimulation. BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Stxs, especially Stx2, are very important causes of severe food-borne disease, even death. This study confirms that receptor analogue-based affinity enrichment of Stxs, after MMC or CF treatment of E. coli, is useful for fast and accurate Stx2 identification through LC-MS/MS.
To study the epidemiology and etiology characteristics of first imported Chikungunya fever case in Henan province, China, 2017. The patient was confirmed by Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infected as CHIKV ribonucleotide was continuously detected in his serum specimens. BHK-21 cell line was used for virus isolation, the strain was named CHIKV/Henan001/2017. CHIKV/Henan001/2017 belonged to genotype ECSA. The highest ribonucleotide homology sequence of highly conserved region E1 with CHIKV/Henan001/2017 was hk02 strain (99.8%), who was an imported strain to Hong Kong, China, 2016. Epidemiological information and laboratory testing confirmed it was an imported Chikungunya fever case in Henan province, 2017. No secondary case has been reported.
Objective To investigate and analyze the clinical features,epidemiologic information and pathogenic characteristics of a rabies patient.Methods Clinical data of the patient(boy) was collected and epidemiological survey was conducted,fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (FQRT-PCR) and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were used to detect the samples of saliva,cerebrospinal fluid (CSF),skin tissue with hair follicle at the back of the neck for rabies laboratory diagnosis.Results Early symptoms of the boy were vomiting,diarrhea,fever and irritability,followed by coma and death.The boy had nasal trauma one month ago and the domestic dog died of illness during the same period.He did not accept the rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).The result of the saliva sample was positive by FQRT-PCR.The predicted segments of the glycoprotein (G),nucleoprotein (N) genes of rabies virus were amplified from the positive saliva sample of the patient by RT-PCR.Compared with rabies virus strains in Henan province,the nucleotide homology and amino acid homology in G gene segment were 96.5%-98.8% and 96.5%-99.2% respectively.Conclusions The case was diagnosed in laboratory as rabies case.The pathogenic rabies virus strain was endemic in Henan province.The nasal trauma,the dead domestic dog were probably related to the infection of the boy.

Toxin expression is a key factor in Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing E. coli, a common pathogen involved in foodborne disease outbreaks. A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) based approach has been used in this study to identify commonly reported E. coli toxins, with a focus on Shiga toxins (Stxs). Different sample preparation methods using variable culture conditions and concentrations of mitomycin C (MMC), a common antibiotic/chemotherapy agent capable of stimulating Stx production, were first tested on reference strains EDL933 and 90-2380 by LC-MS/MS detection of tryptic digests of receptor-analogue affinity binding enriched Stx preparations from culture supernatants and lysates. A curated E. coli protein toxin database was also used for faster and more straightforward toxin identification. With eight more genetically confirmed E. coli strains examined to verify the method, this preliminary study indicates that receptor-analogue based affinity enrichment on cell lysate or supernatant is a sensitive and accurate method for Stx identification. Biological significance: The existence of Stx is very important for identifying Stx-producing E. coli and implementing a clinical treatment regime. This study demonstrates for the first time that using a curated E. coli toxin database, together with receptor-analogue-based affinity enrichment of Stxs after MMC treatment of E. coli, is an easy and appropriate approach for fast and accurate Stx identification through LC-MS/MS.

Objective To analyze the VP1 sequences of coxsackievirus A16(CA16) causing neu-rologic complications. Methods Clinical samples and epidemiological information were collected from pa-tients with viral encephalitis. Coxsackievirus A16 in these samples were first detected with real time RT-PCR and then isolated. RT-PCR was performed to amplify VP1 sequences and the amplified products were se-quenced. DNAStar 5.0 and Mega 5 were used for sequence analysis. All data was analyzed with SPSS statis-tical software. Results Fifteen samples were collected from 12 patients with hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) complicated by neurologic complications. Eight patients had the symptoms of fever, skin rash, signs of meningeal irritation and neck rigidity. No typical cluster was associated with clinical features or the time of onset. Both pharyngeal/anal swab and serum samples were collected from three patients (patient′s number:01111,01169 and 01130). The two samples collected from both 01111 and 01130 patients shared 100% similarity in nucleotide and amino acid based on VP1 sequences,while those from 01169 patient dif-fered in only one base. The 15 CA16 isolates were highly similar in VP1 gene, sharing 94.5%-100% ho-mology in nucleotide sequences and 98.0%-100% homology in amino acid sequences. These 15 isolates showed 68.5%-70.5% identities in nucleotide sequences and 90.5%-91.9% identities in amino acid se-quences with the CA16 prototype strain G10. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that based upon VP1 sequences, all of the 15 CA16 isolates grouped into genotype B subtype 1b (B1b), which was further classified into three clusters. Conclusion All of the 15 CA16 isolates causing neurologic complications belonged to B1b sub-genotype. Understanding the molecular epidemiology of CA16 would be essential for controlling morbidi-ty rates of HFMD and vaccine research.
