ABSTRACT Campylobacter is a common bacterial enteropathogen that can be detected in stool by culture, enzyme immunoassay (EIA), or PCR. We compared culture for C. jejuni/C. coli , EIA (ProSpecT), and duplex PCR to distinguish non- jejuni/coli on 432 diarrheal matched control samples from infants multisite longitudinal study of enteric infections Tanzania, Bangladesh, Peru. The sensitivity specificity were 8.5% 97.6%, respectively, with the results 8.7% 98.0%, . Most (71.6%) EIA-positive...
Background: Data from many large cities in China show HIV prevalence among men who have sex with (MSM) increasing dramatically over the recent years, making transmission MSM a growing concern. To facilitate targeted prevention Chongqing, surveys were conducted to examine and its associated factors 2006 2007. Methods: Surveys 2007 3 districts of Chongqing at venues cruising areas where frequent. Univariate bivariate analysis on demographic, behavioral, biological data. Results: was 19.7%...
No data are available on the etiology of diarrhea requiring hospitalization after rotavirus vaccine introduction in Africa. The monovalent was introduced Tanzania 1 January 2013. We performed a impact and effectiveness study as well quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)–based at rural Tanzanian hospital. obtained admissions among children <5 years to Haydom Lutheran Hospital between 2010 31 December 2015 estimated all-cause admissions. then using test-negative design. Finally, we...
The present study analyzed the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on prevalence and incidence new leprosy cases, as well diversity, distribution, temporal transmission Mycobacterium leprae strains at county level in leprae-endemic provinces Southwest China. A total 219 cases during two periods, 2018-2019 2020-2021, were compared. We genetically characterized 83 clinical isolates M. Guizhou using variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). obtained genetic profiles...
Abstract More than 100 counties, mainly in southwest China, report incidence rates of leprosy >1/100,000. The current study analysed the epidemiology China to improve our understanding transmission pattern and control programs. 207 counties were selected China. Leprosy patients their household contacts recruited. data from medical interview serological antileprosy antibody analysed. A total 2,353 new cases interviewed. distribution was partly associated with local natural economic...
Prolonged postoperative ileus (PPOI) is one of the common complications in gastric cancer patients who underwent gastrectomy. Evidence on predictors PPOI after gastrectomy limited and few prediction models nomogram are used to estimate risk PPOI. We hypothesized that a predictive can be for clinical estimation patients.To investigate factors establish estimation.Between June 2016 March 2017, data 162 with were obtained from prospective observational registry database. Clinical fulfilled...
Reports on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of Mycobacterium leprae, relationship with bacteriological index (BI), and transmission in China are limited. We investigated the emergence AMR mutations, between BI complete, moderate lack decline cases, molecular epidemiological features cases by enrolling 290 leprosy from four endemic provinces. Seven (2.41%), one (0.34%), five (1.72%), (0.34%) strains had single mutations folP1, rpoC, gyrA, gyrB, 23S rRNA, respectively. Double folP1 rpoB gyrA...
Background Investigations of Mycobacterium tuberculosis genetic diversity in China have indicated a significant regional distribution. The aim this study was to characterize the genotypes clinical M. isolates obtained from Gansu, which has special geographic location China. Methodology/Principal Findings A total 467 strains isolated Gansu Province were genotyped by 15-locus mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units–variable number tandem repeats (MIRU-VNTR) and spoligotyping. results...
Understanding the nature of Mycobacterium leprae transmission is vital to implement better control strategies for leprosy elimination. The present study expands knowledge county-level strain diversity, distribution, and patterns in endemic provinces China.We genetically characterized 290 clinical isolates M. from four using variable number tandem repeats (VNTR) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Attained genetic profiles cluster consequences were contrasted with geographical migration...
Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a severe infectious respiratory disease, the burden of which remains high in China. To provide scientific evidence for developing more targeted prevention and control strategies, this study aimed to determine incidence trends explore epidemiological characteristics pulmonary TB Anhui Province, Eastern China between 2013 2018.The retrospective analyzed information regarding cases reported by National Infectious Disease Reporting System census data collected from...
The diesel spray characteristics are strongly influenced by the flow dynamics inside injector nozzle. Moreover, off-axis oscillation of needle could lead to variation orifice in In this paper, was investigated using high-speed X-ray phase contrast imaging and quantitative image processing. effects fuel, injection pressure nozzle geometry on were analyzed. results showed that vertical horizontal independent pressure. maximum range 14μ m found. Biodiesel application slightly decreased due high...
Abstract In order to shorten the optimization cycle of ship design and solve time‐consuming problem computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical calculation, this paper proposes a multi‐precision back‐propagation neural network (MP‐BP) approximation technology. Fewer high‐precision samples more low‐precision were used construct an approximate model, (BP) was train samples. So that model is as close possible real achieving effect model. Subsequently, verification typical hull form are given....
ABSTRACT Ship form optimization poses a complex and high‐dimensional engineering challenge. Therefore, when conducting multi‐objective research of ship forms, traditional intelligent algorithms are prone to falling into local optima solution difficult converge. In order effectively improve the diversity convergence performance algorithm, this paper improves bare‐bones particle swarm (BBMOPSO) algorithm by dynamically adjusting global search step sizes, verifies algorithm's reliability...
Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is currently a major problem in China. The prevention and treatment work for MDR-TB patients started late Anhui province. To determine the prevalence of sputum smear-positive TB (SSPTBPs) analyze risk factors province, we conducted an investigation drug resistance among SSPTB outpatients from September 2015 to August 2016.
