With the expected depletion of the national standard antitoxins, replacement national standard antitoxins are produced and standardized through collaboration of the National Control Laboratory and other participants, including manufacturer(s). Therefore, Japanese National Standard Botulinum Antitoxin Type A, Equine, was replaced according to the results of a collaborative study involving the National Institute of Infectious Diseases and KM Biologics Co., Ltd. The unitage of the replacement material was determined through mouse neutralization tests, which involved toxin-antitoxin mixture injection at pH 7.0. Potency value of 440 units/vial was obtained. However, the Japanese Minimum Requirement for Biological Products was revised, and the neutralization reactions were repeated at pH 6.0, for which considerably different potency value (656 units/vial) and survival profile of mice were obtained. In September 2021, the replacement material, Japanese National Standard Botulinum Antitoxin Type A, Equine, lot 2, was established with potency value of 656 Units/vial. The impact of pH-dependent change in potency on antitoxin quality control is discussed.","PeriodicalId":14608,"journal":{"name":"Japanese journal of infectious diseases","volume":" ","pages":"16-20"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10176960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies have mainly focused on the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with SFTS, while pancreatic injury has received little attention. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of pancreatic injury on the prognosis of patients with SFTS. A total of 156 SFTS patients were included in the analysis from April 2016 to April 2022. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that pancreatic injury (OR=3.754, 95% CI 1.361-79.036, P=0.024) and neurological symptoms (OR=18.648, 95% CI 4.921-70.668, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for patient death. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve indicated that serum pancreatic enzymes (PEs) were predictive of progression to death in SFTS patients. The area under the curve (AUC) for amylase (AMY) was 0.711, with an optimal cut-off value of 95.5 (U/L), sensitivity of 96.4%, and specificity of 35.9%. Lipase (LIP) had an AUC of 0.754, an optimal cut-off value of 354.75 (U/L), a sensitivity of 75%, and a specificity of 67.2%.

Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the new JMTV strain is closely related to previous strains detected in Japan. This suggests that JMTV may have been maintained during an independent natural transmission cycle in Japan. In addition, unlike in other countries and regions, all JMTV strains in Japan were detected only in A. testudinarium ticks, suggesting that this tick species is the primary JMTV vector in Japan. This report is the first to detect JMTV in the Kanto region. Further studies are required to elucidate the potential risk of infection by this tick-borne virus in Japan.

As a result, 66 isolates were identified as M. odoratimimus and one isolate was identified as M. odoratus. The blaMUS resistance gene was detected in all M. odoratimimus isolates, whereas sul2 was detected in ten isolates and tetX was detected in 11 isolates. No other resistance genes, such as blaTUS, were detected. Additionally, two different clonal association patterns were discovered in the 24 selected isolates through the ERIC-PCR method.
