Background: Nosocomial outbreaks of pandemic influenza A (H1N1) 2009 virus [A(H1N1)pdm09] easily develop due to its high transmissibility. This study aimed to investigate the clinical impacts of a nosocomial outbreak of A(H1N1)pdm09 between 21 January and 17 February 2016.
Methods: Patients who developed influenza-like illness (ILI) more than 48 hours after hospitalization in the index ward were enrolled as suspected patients, defined as group A and quarantined.
Background: Few studies have analyzed influenza B virus lineages based on hemagglutinin A (HA) gene sequences in southern China. The present study analyzed the HA gene and the lineages of influenza B virus isolates from Guangzhou during 2016, and compared our results with the WHO-recommended vaccine strain.
Methods: Ninety patients with influenza B were recruited from the First Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University.
Article Synopsis
- The first confirmed case of the H7N9 virus in Guangdong Province, China, occurred in August 2013, outside the usual flu season, prompting an investigation into its source and transmission.
- A female patient with poultry exposure experienced severe respiratory symptoms and quickly moved to an ICU but ultimately recovered after four weeks, with no additional cases reported.
- Genetic analysis showed the virus shares similarities with other H7N9 strains and is susceptible to certain antiviral medications, highlighting a potential ongoing risk for H7N9 re-emergence in China, especially from environmental sources.
Objectives: To present a novel single anterior-lateral approach for the treatment of distal tibia and fibula fracture via anatomical study and primary clinical application in order to minimize soft tissue complications.
Design: Both a gross anatomic cadaver and retrospective studies of the single-incision technique in patients recruited between June 2004 and January 2010.
Setting: Level I trauma center.
The epidemiological and evolutionary dynamics of the two cocirculating lineages of influenza B virus, Victoria and Yamagata, are poorly understood, especially in tropical or subtropical areas of Southeast Asia. We performed a phylogenetic analysis of the hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) sequences of influenza B viruses isolated in Guangzhou, a southern Chinese city, during 2009 to 2010 and compared the demographic and clinical features of infected patients. We identified multiple viral introductions of Victoria strains from both Chinese and international sources, which formed two phylogenetically and antigenically distinct clades (Victoria 1 and 2), some of which persisted between seasons.

Methods: Twelve patients with Seinsheimer type V subtrochanteric femoral fractures were retrospectively analyzed. There were 8 males and 4 females with an average age of 53 years (range 31 to 65 years).
Objective: To explore a new method for the treatment of ankle joint fractures, and to evaluate its therapeutic effects.
Methods: Among 42 patients with ankle joint fractures, 34 patients had complete data for analysis, 19 patients were male and 15 patients were female, ranging in age from 21 to 61 years, with an average of 37 years. According to Weber-AO classification, there are 28 patients of B-type and 6 patients of C-type.
