[Respiratory Tract Infection Pathogen Spectrum Study of 376 Pneumoconiosis Inpatients in Chengdu].

Objective: To investigate the status of infections caused by respiratory pathogens and the patterns of infections caused by pathogens in different seasons, age groups and stages of pneumoconiosis so as to explore the pathogen spectrum of respiratory tract infections in pneumoconiosis patients.

Methods: The sputum samples of 376 pneumoconiosis patients admitted to an occupational disease hospital in Chengdu between January, 2017 and October, 2019 were collected. Clinical information of the patients was collected and lab tests were conducted to check for 23 kinds of common respiratory viruses, bacteria and fungi in the sputum.

Overexpressed lncRNA GATA6-AS1 Inhibits LNM and EMT via FZD4 through the Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway in GC.

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Accumulating evidence reveals the significance of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in various cancers. The current study aimed to evaluate the role of GATA6 antisense RNA 1 (GATA6-AS1) in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and lymph node metastasis (LNM) in GC.

Prevalence and clinical profile of rotavirus A infection among diarrhoeal children and phylogenetic analysis with vaccine strains in Chengdu, West China, 2009-2014.

Objectives: Rotaviruses are the most common cause of severe diarrhoeal disease in young children. However, little is known about the epidemiological and clinical profile of rotavirus A (RVA) in diarrhoeal children or the efficacy of Lanzhou lamb rotavirus vaccine (LLR) in Chengdu, China. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and clinical profile of RVA in diarrhoeal children and provide gene analysis information for RVA vaccination programmes.

Human cytomegalovirus prevalence and distribution of glycoprotein B, O genotypes among hospitalized children with respiratory infections in West China, 2009-2014.

Objectives: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is an important pathogen causing morbidity and mortality in children. HCMV prevalence in children with respiratory infections has not been investigated in West China. Previous studies have suggested that glycoproteins genotypes may be associated with different clinical presentations, but the associations were controversial.

[Isolation and Study on the Aflatoxin Genes of Aflatoxin-producing Fungi in Paprika Samples in Chengdu].

Objective: To isolate aflatoxin-producing strains from paprika samples and to do a preliminarily study on the relationship between aflatoxin-producing ability and the genes aflR, omt-1 and ver-1.

Methods: Fungi were isolated by traditional culture method. Potential aflatoxin-producing strains were screened by phenotypic traits and multiplex PCR.

[Application of PulseNet China Database in tracking and warning 4 cholerae outbreaks in Anhui province, in 2012].

Objective: To track the source of infection regarding 4 Cholerae outbreaks in Anhui province in 2012 through the application of PulseNet China Database (PNCD).

Methods: Cholerae virulence genes were amplified by PCR and typed by pulse field gel electrophoresis(PFGE). Results from electrophoresis were cluster-analyzed by BioNumericsV4.
