ABSTRACT
@#Objective To compare the differences of safety and immunogenicity of DTaP-IPV-Hib-HepB hexavaccine,DTaPIPV-Hib pentavaccine plus HepB single vaccine or DTaP-IPV-HepB pentavaccine plus Hib single vaccine,so as to provide a reference for the marketing and use of hexavaccine in China.Methods Randomized controlled trials(RCTs)of DTaP-IPVHib-HepB hexavaccine,DTaP triple vaccine,Hib,IPV and HepB vaccines published at home and abroad were searched.The safety and immunogenicity of the hexavaccine were evaluated by Meta-analysis using Revman 5.4.1 software.Results A total of 7 articles,8 RCTs and 3 429 subjects were included. Meta-analysis of safety showed that there was no significant difference in the incidence of injection site and systemic adverse reactions after vaccination with hexavaccine and pentavaccine plus single vaccine(P > 0. 05)except for induration at the inoculation site and crying. Meta-analysis of immunogenicity showed no significant difference in antibody indexes after vaccination with hexavaccine and pentavaccine plus single vaccine(P > 0. 05).Conclusion The safety and immunogenicity of DTaP-IPV-Hib-HepB hexavaccine in basic immunity was comparable to that of the control vaccine,and might be applied to infants and young children to prevent related diseases. However,due to the limitations of the quantity and quality of included studies,the above conclusions still depend on the further development of larger sample,multicenter and high-quality
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the changes of antibody levels in positive patients with epidemic hemorrhagic fever(EHF) in Dongwan, and to provide effective theoretical guidance for the prevention . Methods From January 2018 to April 2022, the antibody test and general sociological characteristics, such as age, sex, occupation of 153 patients who were confirmed to be positive for serum EHF antibody by establishing infectious disease report cards were collected. Statistical analysis was performed using t test and 2test. Results Among of 153 patients , 70 were IgG positive, and the antibody positive rate was 45.75%. There was no significant difference in IgG antibody positive rate between EHF patients of different gender（χ2=0.165，P=0.685）. Commercial services (76.90%), workers (34.10%), unemployed or retired (44.10%) had the highest antibody positive rate. The IgG positive rate of EHF patients in different age groups was different. The antibody positive rate was the highest in the age group of 25-35 years old, and the antibody positive rate was lower in the age group of 60 years old and later. Among the 153 patients, the IgG antibody positive rate of the patients with onset in December, January and February was the highest, reaching 60.71% and 66.67% respectively. The IgG antibody positive rate of the patients with onset in April September was lower（ χ2=14.366，P=0.021）. Conclusion The positive rate of IgG antibody in EHF patients in Dongguan was high, which was related to occupation, age and time of onset; It is necessary to strengthen vaccination for this group of people to improve the antibody immunity level.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the serum antibody level in children with pertussis in Hangzhou city, and to evaluate the incidence of pertussis in children and the immunization effect of vaccine.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted.The pertussis toxin IgG antibody levels in 1 486 children aged 0-14 who received physical exa-mination in Hangzhou Children′s Hospital from January to December 2018 of were collected and analyzed.Serum antibody level ≥30 IU/mL was considered seropositive.The children enrolled were divided into the 0-3-year-old, 4-6-year-old, 7-9-year-old and 10-14-year-old groups; then the children under 3 years old were subdivided into groups of 0-<3 months, 3-<6 months, 6-<9 months, 9-<12 months, 12-<18 months, and 18-≤ 36 months; finally, the children were grouped according to their vaccination times, the pertussis toxin IgG antibody level and the infection rate of pertussis were compared among different groups by Mann- Whitney U, Kruskal- Wallis and χ2 tests. Results:The overall positive rate of the pertussis toxin IgG antibody was 23.62% (351/1 486), and the median antibody concentration was 6.60 IU/mL.Among children aged 0-14, the 0-3-year-old children had the highest positive rate of the pertussis toxin IgG antibody and the highest median antibody concentration, which were 24.58% (29/118) and 6.95 IU/mL, respectively.There was no significant difference in the antibody positive rate and the median antibody concentration among different age groups (all P>0.05). Among different subgroups of children aged 0-3, the pertussis toxin IgG antibody positive rate and the median antibody concentration were statistically significant (all P<0.05). It was predicted that the pertussis infection rate in children over 3 years old in Hangzhou was about 45.99%.The patients receiving more than 3 doses of vaccination accounted for 87.48% (1 300/1 486), and their antibody positive rate was 25.46% (331/1 300). After excluding unvaccinated children, the comparison results suggested that there was statistical significance in the antibody positive rate and median antibody concentration among different vaccination groups ( χ2=24.467, 67.438, all P<0.001). Conclusions:The serum pertussis toxin IgG antibody positive rate in children aged 0-14 in Hangzhou is low, but their predicted pertussis infection rate is higher.Children aged 0-14 are easy to become a main source of infection.Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to and strengthen the vaccination plan and research, enhance the monitoring of the infection source, and prevent the " recurrence of pertussis" .
ABSTRACT
Objective:To determine the level of anti-measles antibody in healthy population aged 1-14 years old in Shanghai， and project the risk of measles incidence in adult population in the future， which may provide evidence for enhancing the measles immunization strategy. Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted to collect the serum of healthy people aged 1-14 years old in an urban district hospital in Shanghai. Serum concentration of anti-measles IgG antibody was examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） and dynamics of IgG antibody was compared. Results:The prevalence of anti-measles antibody in healthy people aged 1-14 years old was determined to be 95.29%， and the antibody protection rate was 61.86%. There was no significant difference in the distribution of antibody between men and women （P>0.05）. However， there was statistical difference in the distribution of antibody among different age groups （P<0.05）， in which the antibody showed a decreasing trend with age， especially after the age of 10 years. The lowest prevalence of anti-measles antibody and protection rate were observed in the population aged 13-14 years old， which were 87.41% and 22.96%， respectively. The GMT was 2.667 1 （equal to the concentration of anti-measles IgG antibody being 464.62 mIU/mL）. According to the fitting model Ŷ =3.217-0.04X（R2=0.943，P<0.05）， the antibody protection rate was projected to decrease to zero in the population aged 19-20 years old， whereas the anti-measles antibody was to zero in the population aged 29-30 years old . Conclusion:As there is almost no natural infection of measles，the anti-measles antibody after measles vaccine immunization showed a linearly decreasing trend with age after measles immunization．It is recommended that people aged 10-15 years should be administered intensive immunization for prevention of adults measles，which could be incorporated into current measles immunization strategies.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the antibody levels against diphtheria among healthy population in Jiading District of Shanghai, and to make evaluation of the effect of diphtheria toxoid vaccination strategy. Methods Serum samples were collected from healthy population in Jiading District of Shanghai in 2010-2013.Antibody against diphtheria was tested by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Geometric mean titer (GMT) of diphtheria antibody was compared between different population characteristics. Results A total of 1 029 serum samples were collected from the healthy population.With 1 003 of 1 029 diphtheria antibody titer of IgG (over 0.01 IU/mL), the positive rate was 97.47%, reaching the level of security protection (over 0.1 IU/mL) that accounted for 70.36%, and achieving the long-term protection level (over 1 IU/mL) that accounted for 35.57%;IgG GMT 0.325 IU/mL.There was significant difference in the positive rates and antibody levels between city residents and floating population in the field of diphtheria antibodies (χ2=4.708, P < 0.05;t=2.787, P < 0.05).There were statistically significant differences between different age groups in diphtheria antibody positive rates (χ2=30.262, P < 0.001) and statistically significant differences in GMT diphtheria antibody levels between different age groups (F=99.500, P < 0.001), GMT ranged in 0.029 IU/mL (30 years age group)~1.526 IU/mL (5 years age group). Conclusion The investigation of diphtheria antibody levels in Shanghai Jiading District truly reflects the effect of routine diphtheria immunization in Jiading District.DT (diphtheria & tetanus) vaccination for third grade junior is effective.We suggest a booster dose of diphtheria-containing vaccine for adolescents or adults so as to maintain immune levels.
ABSTRACT
Objective To detect the levels of anti-measles antibody in a healthy population in Jin-shan District of Shanghai and to provide references for making a better immunization strategy against measles in this area. Methods Stratified sampling was used to collect 390 serum sample in 12 age groups with an equal number of males and females as well as resident and floating population. Indirect enzyme-linked immu-nosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to detect the concentrations of IgG antibody against measles in dif-ferent groups. Results The overall positive rate and protective rate of anti-measles antibody were 78.21% and 41.28%, respectively. No significant difference in the positive rates of antibody was found between males and females, or resident and floating population (P>0.05). Antibody levels varied significantly among different age groups(χ2=191.214,P<0.01). More than 80.00% of the people aged≥1 year were positive for anti-measles antibody and the positive rates in children 3 to 6 years old and people aged ≥40 years reached 100% and over 90.00%,respectively. Infants under 8 months of age,having the lowest posi-tive rate of antibody(10.00%),were susceptible to measles. The highest protective rate was found in chil-dren aged 8 months to 9 years,followed by that in people≥40 years. Levels of anti-measles antibody in peo-ple aged 10 to 39 years mainly ranged from 200 mIU/ml to 800 mIU/ml. No significant difference in anti-body levels was found among people aged≥8 months who had different immunization histories(χ2=1.140,P>0.05). Conclusion The average level of anti-measles antibody was high in Jinshan District in 2015,in-dicating that the people in that area had a relatively high immunity to measles,but the positive rate of anti-body needed to be further improved. Infants under 8 months old and people 10 to 39 years old were the main susceptible groups. It is suggested that measles vaccination efforts should be focused on susceptible popula-tion and women of childbearing age to improve herd immunity.
ABSTRACT
Objective To learn the immunity levels of pertussis and diphtheria among healthy people in Wenzhou City,and to provide scientific evidence for the effective control of the two diseases.Methods Stratified sampling method was applied in this investigation and 1 350 healthy people were investigated and provided serum samples.Vaccine immunization of pertussis and diphtheria and demographic characteristics were also collected.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)was conducted to detect pertussis and diphtheria antibodies.Those with more than 1 00 IU/ml aged more than 3 years were also investigated the disease history.The estimated infection rate of pertussis for population aged more than 3 years was based on the test results.The attenuation trend of pertussis and diphtheria immunity levels after vaccination was analyzed contrastively.Results The antibody positive rate to pertussis was 36. 52%,and the median of antibody concentration was 1 9. 45 IU/m1 .The antibody positive rate and concentration was highest among 36 -60 years old people (64. 29%,36. 39 IU/ml ).The vaccination rate of population with more than 3 doses of DPT (Diphtheria Toxoid -Pertussis Vaccine-Tetanus Toxoid)was 95. 80%,and the corresponding positive rate was 24. 36%.The positive rate was 28. 57% in 0-3 month and 1 0. 71% in 1 0 -1 2 month after vaccination.The antibody concentration to pertussis had a negative correlation with days after vaccination(r=-0. 22,P<0. 05).The proportion of subjects with more than 1 00 IU/ml in population aged more than 3 years was 7. 91%.The estimated infection rate of pertussis for population aged more than 3 years was 49. 27%.The antibody positive rate to diphtheria was 96. 00%,and the median of antibody concentration was 0. 1 3 IU/m1 . The positive rate was highest (1 00%) among 1 -2 years old people and lowest (82. 5%) among newborns.Antibody positive rate (protective rate)and antibody concentration to diphtheria of population which had more doses of DPT or had vaccinated with DT were higher than those had not (P<0. 05 ).The sustainability of vaccine to diphtheria was higher than pertussis after vaccination of DPT.Conclusion Residents in Wenzhou are generally vulnerable to pertussis.Natural infection is considered to be an important influencing factor for the level of pertussis.The level of diphtheria antibodies in Wenzhou is high.The vaccine containing diphtheria is considered useful for children.However,it is suggested to conduct diphtheria booster immunization in older age group.

ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo observe the dynamics of antibodies and protection against Schistosoma japonicum infections in buffaloes after immunized with recombinant 26 kDa glutathione S transferase (reSjc26GST). Methods Buffaloes in 2 villages endemic for schistosomiasis japonica were selected as test and control groups, respectively.In test group initially 96 buffaloes were vaccinated with reSjc26GST, and 90 buffaloes in the control group did not experience vaccination. The indicators included levels of antibodies to reSjc26GST in buffaloes before and after infection with S japonicum and changes in infection rate. Results Specific antibodies, which showed a trend of trapezoid increase, were induced in buffaloes after immunized with reSjc26GST. Twenty months after immunization, the infection rate of the test group was decreased by 62 2% when compared with that before vaccination,and by 67 7% when compared with that of the control in the corresponding period.Conclusion Specific antibodies and a certain extent of protection were induced in buffaloes after immunized with reSjc26GST, which played an significant role in ameliorating morbidity.
ABSTRACT
A Newcastle disease virus(NDV)field strain SGM01 was isolated from a broiler flock in high antibody level against NDV,and identified by HA,HI cross test and animal regression.SGM01 was determined as a virulent strain with MDT of 50.5h,ICPI of 1.76,IVPI of 2.41 after plaque-purification.The F and HN gene of SGM01 were cloned and sequenced.Analysis of F gene indicated that SGMOI be- longed to genotypeⅦ.The amino acid sequence ~(111)GGRQGRL~(117) in the F protein cleavage site in SGM01 strain is identical to virulent NDV. The homology analysis of F and HN gene sequences compared to reference strains from GenBank indicated that:The F protein amino acid se- quence has homologies of 87.7%～88.3% with published gene typeⅡstrains LaSota and SQZ04 et al.,95.7%～98.2% with genotypeⅦstrains Taiwan95,Yunnan03 et al.,91.8%～91.7% with genotypeⅨstrains F_(48)E_9 et al..Willie HN genes were compared,SGM01 demonstrated a higher homologies of 96.5%～97.2% with strains which were isolated in recent years,but lower homologies of 87.4% and 89.0% with LaSota and F_(48)E_9.
ABSTRACT
A total of 276 cases of neurocysticercosis were detected by rapid enzyme-Linked immunosorbent assay (Rapid ELISA), the positive rate was 90%, but there were 3 cases in other parasitic infective showed cross-reaction to cysticercus antigen(Taeniasis boris, Hydatidosis, Paragonimiasis), their absorbance were 0.28; 0.31; 0.33. The titer of antibody was below 1:256 in sera. But the distribution of the absorbance of cysticercosis in most patients was 0.5～1.5, the titers of antibody were 1:256～1:8192 in sera, but 1:8 was the highest in CSF. Therefore, the determination of CSF shoud be undiluted or 1:2 diluted. of 12 cases of cysticercosis after praziquantel treatment, the antibody levels in sera became nagative only in Ⅰ case during 1-2 years; One case remained positive after 4 years of treatment.
