长沙地区无偿献血人群隐匿性乙型肝炎病毒感染情况分析

目的 了解长沙地区无偿献血人群隐匿性乙型肝炎病毒感染(occult hepatitis B virus infection,OBI)流行情况,探讨HBV基因型分布特征和S区氨基酸突变的情况。方法 对长沙地区检测结果为HBsAg-/HBV DNA+的无偿献血血液样本进行HBV血清标志物检测,对其中的OBI样本进行HBV病毒载量检测和S区基因扩增,分析血清学标志物抗HBs与病毒载量检出与否的关系,并对扩增产物进行HBV基因分型和突变位点分析。结果 2019年1月—2020年1月长沙地区173 893份无偿献血标本共确认58例OBI样本,OBI流行率为0.033%;共发现7种血清学模式,抗HBc单独阳性最多,占38.98%,所有样本中抗HBc阳性率为89.83%;16例样本能检测出病毒载量,其中14例样本浓度小于100 IU/ml;抗HBs阳性组和阴性组间的病毒载量检出率无统计学差异;75.0%(12/16)样本扩增出S区序列,基因型均为B型,均发生突变,其中11例的HBsAg抗原决定簇及周边主要亲水区域(major hydrophilic region, MHR)发生氨基酸突变。结论 长沙地区无偿献血者中的OBI感染率在全国属于偏低水平;HBV基因型主要是B型,MHR区的氨基酸突变可能是造成OBI的原因,突变有本地特点。     

毒死蜱对小鼠焦虑样行为以及肠道菌群的影响

目的 观察毒死蜱暴露致小鼠焦虑样行为及肠道菌群的影响,并探讨两者之间的关系。方法 30只8周龄雄性C57BL/6J小鼠,随机分为3组:对照组(CTL)、毒死蜱低剂量组(CPF2.5)和毒死蜱高剂量组(CPF5),分别灌胃植物油、毒死蜱2.5 mg/kg bw和毒死蜱5 mg/kg bw,1次/d,连续14 d。采用旷场实验(OFT)和高架十字迷宫实验(EPM)对小鼠焦虑样行为进行检测; 采用16S rDNA测序检测粪便肠道菌群变化; 用LEfSe筛选各组间差异菌群; 采用Spearman分析研究肠道差异菌和焦虑样行为指标之间的相关性。结果 与CTL相比,CPF2.5和CPF5小鼠进入旷场中心次数减少(F=6.404,P=0.042,P=0.002),在开臂的活动路程百分比、开臂停留时间百分比以及进入开臂次数百分比均降低(F=8.525,P=0.002,P=0.002; F=17.486,P<0.001, P<0.001; F=4.751,P=0.023,P=0.010),以上差异均有统计学意义。LEfSe 多级物种差异判别分析结果显示,Dubosiella、Muribaculum、Akkermansia等菌在对照组富集; Odoribacter、PrevotellaceaeUCG_001菌在CPF2.5组富集; Proteobacteria、Rhizobiaceae、Ochrobactrum、Rhizobiales菌在CPF5组富集。Spearman相关分析结果表明,Muribaculum与EPM开臂活动路程百分比和开臂停留时间百分比呈正相关(r=0.506, P=0.012; r=0.455, P=0.025),Odoribacter和EPM开臂停留时间百分比呈负相关(r=-0.486, P=0.016)。结论 毒死蜱暴露后引起的小鼠焦虑样行为改变可能与特定的肠道菌群丰度(Muribaculum和Odoribacter)改变相关。     

探针ASPCR检测肺炎支原体 微量耐药突变A2063G方法的建立

[摘要]　目的　 建立能够特异性检测微量肺炎支原体（Mycoplasma pneumoniae, MP）A2063G耐药突变基因的特异性扩增等位基因的探针法实时定量PCR（probe-based allele-specific real-time PCR, 探针ASPCR）方法。方法?建立特异性检测A2063G耐药突变位点的探针ASPCR方法,并验证其灵敏度、特异度及准确度等性能。结果?特异性扩增2063G和非特异性扩增2063A/G的引物/探针组合分别扩增105拷贝野生基因型（2063A）模板的Ct值的差(△Ct)高达10.93,能够特异性检测A2063G突变。探针ASPCR方法检测2063G基因型占总MP的比例的准确度可低至1％;检测MP的灵敏度低至10拷贝,检测A2063G耐药突变比例的灵敏度低至0.01％。探针ASPCR方法与前期建立的染料ASPCR方法检测临床样本的MP感染结果一致,MP阳性检出率均为94.83%（55/58）,高于传统巣式PCR联合测序方法的检测结果（75.86%,44/58）;探针ASPCR和染料ASPCR 2种方法检测MP耐药率分别为63.64%（35/55）、70.91%（39/55）,高于传统巣式PCR联合测序方法检测结果59.09%（26/44）。结论?新建探针ASPCR方法是一种具有高特异度、准确度和灵敏度的快速检测MP微量A2063G耐药突变的方法;与染料ASPCR方法相比,探针ASPCR方法检测耐药MP的灵敏度略低,但其临床样本检测复查率也低于染料ASPCR方法,且其结果判读简单,更适合在临床中应用推广,能够为临床制定MP及耐药MP感染的治疗方案提供理论依据。

Associations Between Thyroid Hormone Levels and Urinary Concentrations of Bisphenol A,F, and S in 6-Year-old Children in Korea

ObjectivesBisphenol A (BPA) is used in the electrical, mechanical, medical, and food industries. Previous studies have suggested that BPA is an endocrine disruptor. Regulation of BPA has led to increased use of bisphenol F (BPF) and bisphenol S (BPS). However, few studies have investigated the associations of BPF and BPS with thyroid dysfunction in children. Our study investigated the associations of prenatal BPA and early childhood BPA, BPF, and BPS exposure with thyroid function in 6-year-old children.MethodsPrenatal BPA concentrations were measured during the second trimester of pregnancy in an established prospective birth cohort. We measured urinary BPA, BPF, and BPS concentrations and thyroid hormone levels (thyroid-stimulating hormone, total T₃, and free T₄) in 6-year-old children (n=574). We examined the associations between urinary bisphenol concentrations and percentage change of thyroid hormone concentrations using multivariate linear regression. We also compared thyroid hormone levels by dividing the cohort according to BPA, BPF, and BPS concentrations.ResultsThe associations between prenatal BPA and total T₃ levels were statistically significant in all models, except for girls when using a crude model. The associations between urinary BPA and BPS concentrations and levels of all thyroid hormones were not statistically significant. However, we observed that lower free T₄ levels (−1.94%; 95% confidence interval, −3.82 to −0.03) were associated with higher urinary BPF concentrations in girls only.ConclusionsOur findings identified significant associations between prenatal BPA exposure and total T₃ levels in all children and between BPF exposure and free T₄ levels in girls only.     

UK food and nutrition security during and after the COVID‐19 pandemic

The COVID‐19 pandemic is a major shock to society in terms of health and economy that is affecting both UK and global food and nutrition security. It is adding to the ‘perfect storm’ of threats to society from climate change, biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation, at a time of considerable change, rising nationalism and breakdown in international collaboration. In the UK, the situation is further complicated due to Brexit. The UK COVID‐19 Food and Nutrition Security project, lasting one year, is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and is assessing the ongoing impact of COVID‐19 on the four pillars of food and nutrition security: access, availability, utilisation and stability. It examines the food system, how it is responding, and potential knock on effects on the UK’s food and nutrition security, both in terms of the cascading risks from the pandemic and other threats. The study provides an opportunity to place the initial lessons being learnt from the on‐going responses to the pandemic in respect of food and nutrition security in the context of other long‐term challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss.     

Social tariffs and democratic choice—Do population‐based health state values reflect the will of the people?

In economic evaluations of health technologies, health outcomes are commonly measured in terms of quality‐adjusted life years (QALYs). QALYs are the product of time and health‐related quality of life. Health‐related quality of life, in turn, is determined by a social tariff, which is supposed to reflect the public's preference over health states. This study argues that, because of the tariff's role in the societal decision‐making process, it should not be understood as merely an operational (statistical) definition of health, but as a major instrument of democratic participation. I outline what implications this might have for both the method used to aggregate individual preferences, and the set of individuals whose preferences should count. Alternative tariff specifications and decision rules are explored, and future research directions are proposed.
