AI Article Synopsis
- * Researchers analyzed three G1P[8] strains from an infant, a child, and an adult, discovering they share a typical Wa-like genetic profile but with notable differences in the NSP3 gene.
- * The findings highlight genetic similarities between the Chinese strains and recent global Wa-like strains, while also revealing mismatches in key antigenic domains compared to existing rotavirus vaccines.
Article Abstract
G1P[8] rotaviruses are an important cause of diarrhea in humans in China. To date, there are no reports on the whole genomic analysis of the Chinese G1P[8] rotaviruses. To determine the origin and overall genetic makeup of the recent Chinese G1P[8] strains, the whole genomes of three strains, RVA/Human-wt/CHN/E1911/2009/G1P[8], RVA/Human-tc/CHN/R588/2005/G1P[8] and RVA/Human-tc/CHN/Y128/2004/G1P[8], detected in an infant, a child and an adult, respectively, were analyzed. Strains E1911, R588 and Y128 exhibited a typical Wa-like genotype constellation. Except for the NSP3 gene of E1911, the whole genomes of strains E1911, R588 and Y128 were found to be more closely related to those of the recent Wa-like common human strains from different countries than those of the prototype G1P[8] strain, or other old strains. On the other hand, the NSP3 gene of E1911 was genetically distinct from those of Y128, R588, or other Wa-like common human strains, and appeared to share a common origin with those of the porcine-like human G9 strains, providing evidence for intergenotype reassortment events. Comparisons of the amino acid residues defining the VP7 and VP4 antigenic domains revealed several mismatches between these Chinese G1P[8] strains and the G1 and P[8] strains contained in the currently licensed rotavirus vaccines Rotarix(TM )and RotaTeq(TM).

Introduction: This study, conducted in China prior to RotaTeq's launch, examined the epidemiological, molecular, and evolutionary features of the G1P[8] genotype RVA in children admitted with diarrhea, to aid in evaluating its efficacy and impact on G1P[8] RVA in China.
Methods: Data from the Chinese viral diarrhea surveillance network were collected from January 2016 to December 2018. RVA strains identified as the G1P[8] genotype were subjected to whole-genome sequencing.

As major terrestrial carbon sinks, forests play an important role in mitigating climate change. The relationship between the seasonal uptake of carbon and its allocation to woody biomass remains poorly understood, leaving a significant gap in our capacity to predict carbon sequestration by forests. Here, we compare the intra-annual dynamics of carbon fluxes and wood formation across the Northern hemisphere, from carbon assimilation and the formation of non-structural carbon compounds to their incorporation in woody tissues.

Article Synopsis
- - Among group A rotaviruses, the G1 genotype primarily causes childhood diarrhea but had rarely been seen in pigs until an investigation in China identified G1P[7] rotavirus in piglets.
- - Researchers isolated a strain called CN1P7, revealing its genetic make-up, which indicated it likely resulted from the mixing of rotavirus strains from different species, including humans and dogs.
- - Infection experiments showed that CN1P7 is pathogenic in piglets, affecting both the digestive and respiratory systems, with significant damage found in the lungs and small intestine.
Non-invasive early detection on esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and precancerous lesions by microbial biomarkers combining epidemiological factors in China.

Background: Microbiota may be associated with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) development. However, it is not known the predictive value of microbial biomarkers combining epidemiological factors for the early detection of ESCC and precancerous lesions.
Methods: A total of 449 specimens (esophageal swabs and saliva) were collected from 349 participants with different esophageal statuses in China to explore and validate ESCC-associated microbial biomarkers from genes level to species level by 16S rRNA sequencing, metagenomic sequencing and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the characteristics and trends of rotavirus infections causing diarrhea in China from 2009 to 2020, to help improve surveillance and prevention strategies.
- Data from 252 sentinel hospitals showed that 19.1% of 114,606 tested diarrhea cases were positive for rotavirus, with group A rotavirus being the most common.
- The infection rates were highest initially in 2009 and 2010, showed fluctuations over the years, and indicated a downward trend, particularly among children under five, with notable seasonal peaks in specific climatic zones.
