Bats have been recognized as an exceptional viral reservoir, especially for coronaviruses. At least three bat zoonotic coronaviruses (SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2) have been shown to cause severe diseases in humans and it is expected more will emerge. One of the major features of CoVs is that they are all highly prone to recombination. An extreme example is the insertion of the P10 gene from reoviruses in the bat CoV GCCDC1, first discovered in Rousettus leschenaultii bats in China. Here, we report the detection of GCCDC1 in four different bat species (Eonycteris spelaea, Cynopterus sphinx, Rhinolophus shameli and Rousettus sp.) in Cambodia. This finding demonstrates a much broader geographic and bat species range for this virus and indicates common cross-species transmission. Interestingly, one of the bat samples showed a co-infection with an Alpha CoV most closely related to RsYN14, a virus recently discovered in the same genus (Rhinolophus) of bat in Yunnan, China, 2020. Taken together, our latest findings highlight the need to conduct active surveillance in bats to assess the risk of emerging CoVs, especially in Southeast Asia. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the seroprevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among indigent pregnant women. DESIGN: A serological survey study of indigent pregnant women admitted for labour and delivery. SETTING: Harare Maternity Hospital, Harare, Zimbabwe. SUBJECTS: A random sample of 1,607 women, delivering at the hospital during the study period agreed to participate in the research. Serum samples were available for 1,591 women. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Serum samples were tested for the presence of antibodies to HCV using a second generation agglutination assay and a third generation enzyme immuno-assay (EIA). RESULTS: Of the 1,591 women tested 25 (1.6%) were anti-HCV positive (95% confidence interval 1.0% to 2.2%). The frequency of anti-HCV positives was associated with maternal age (p = 0.0202) and maternal syphilis status (p = 0.020). Gravidas aged 25 to 29 years had the highest anti-HCV seroprevalence (3.4%) as compared with gravidas of other age categories (1.0% to 1.5%). Women with serologic evidence of syphilis infection during the index pregnancy had an increased prevalence of anti-HCV as compared with those women without evidence of syphilis infection (7.9% versus 1.4%, p = 0.020). There was some evidence (p = 0.094) that a positive prior history of delivering a stillborn infant was also associated with an increased prevalence of anti-HCV (4.1% vs 1.4%). Other maternal characteristics, including hepatitis B virus carriage status, parity, and whether she had received prenatal care during the index pregnancy were not determinants of maternal anti-HCV status. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, hepatitis C antibody was detected in 1.6% of indigent women delivering at Harare Maternity Hospital. This proportion of anti-HCV positive pregnant women is similar to estimates published for North American and European women. Factors positively associated with maternal seropositivity in our population included maternal age (between 25 to 29 years), prior history of delivering a stillborn infant, and seropositivity for syphilis during the index pregnancy. Given the relatively low seroprevalence of HCV and the fact that risk factors for HCV infection remain largely unknown, more studies are needed to identify high risk populations likely to benefit from HCV screening and treatment programmes. 相似文献

Nitric oxide (NO)-associated pulmonary edema is rarely reported in children; in adults, it is often associated with left-sided heart failure. We report a case series of children with NO-associated pulmonary edema, which was defined as new multilobar alveolar infiltrates and worsening hypoxemia within 24 h of initiation or escalation of NO and radiologic or clinical improvement after NO discontinuation. We identified six patients (0.4–4 years old) with ten episodes of NO-associated pulmonary edema. Diagnoses included atrioventricular canal defect with mitral valve disease (n = 2), pulmonary atresia and major aorta-pulmonary collateral arteries (n = 2), total anomalous pulmonary venous return (n = 1), and pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (n = 1). All patients had evidence of pulmonary venous hypertension, and two had mitral valve disease resulting in clinical evidence of left-sided heart failure. Pulmonary edema improved or resolved within 24 h of discontinuing NO. At cardiac catheterization, mean left atrial pressure was <15 mmHg in three of three patients (none with mitral valve disease), whereas pulmonary artery occlusion pressure was >15 mmHg in two of five patients. In conclusion, we describe six young children with NO-associated pulmonary edema and pulmonary venous hypertension. Only two of these children had left-sided heart failure: Left atrial pressure as well as pulmonary artery occlusion pressure may not be helpful in identifying children at risk for NO-associated pulmonary edema. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To determine the effect of reactive hyperemia on human forearm vein area. METHODS: After obtaining ethics approval and informed consent, an automatic tourniquet was applied to the forearms of 20 healthy subjects for one, two, and three minutes, at pressures of 25 mmHg, 200 mmHg, then 25 mmHg. A blinded radiographer measured the cross-sectional area of the cephalic vein at the wrist using ultrasonography. Measurements were recorded prior to tourniquet application and every minute thereafter for ten minutes, at each pressure setting and each time interval. RESULTS: The mean vein cross-sectional area (mm2) increased from 8.22 +/- 3.09 to 10.77 +/- 3.50 after one minute of ischemia, from 8.31 +/- 2.78 to 10.61 +/- 2.77 after two minutes of ischemia, and from 8.39 +/- 3.34 to 10.94 +/- 3.46 after three minutes of ischemia (P < 0.05 for all). A tourniquet inflated to 25 mmHg for 13 min produced a mean vein cross-sectional area of 10.71 +/- 3.25 mm2. CONCLUSIONS: Reactive hyperemia causes human forearm vein cross-sectional area to increase. A low pressure tourniquet will also increase forearm vein area, but veins dilate more quickly during reactive hyperemia. This may have important clinical implications for attempting venous cannulation in patients with difficult venous access. 相似文献
