ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo analyze the characteristics of HIV-1 subtypes and drug-resistance mutation sites among HIV-infected patients who received high-efficiency antiretroviral therapy but failed. MethodsA total of 130 plasma samples were collected from the patients who received antiviral treatment for 6 months in Taizhou City of Zhejiang Province in 2021 but failed the treatment and the viral load was ≥1 000 copies·mL-1. Nucleic acid in the samples was extracted， and the pol gene was amplified by nested reverse transcription PCR. After next-generation sequencing， online tools were used to compare and analyze the subtypes and drug-resistant mutation sites. ResultsA total of 110 samples were successfully sequenced. The main HIV-1 subtype was CRF01_AE， accounting for 42.72% （47 cases）， followed by CRF07_BC， 35.45% （39 cases）； CRF08_BC， 10.00% （11 cases）； CRF85_BC ， 8.18% （9）； and a small number of B subtype， 1.81% （2 cases） and C subtype， 1.81% （2 cases）. The online tool comparison showed that there were 67 cases with mutations of drug-resistance sites and 61 cases with drug-resistance. The mutation sites were mainly M184V， K103N， K65R and V181C， and the mutation rates were 20.00% （22 cases）， 10.91% （12 cases）， 8.18% （9 cases） and 8.18% （9 cases）， respectively. These mutation sites caused different degrees of resistance to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors （NRTI）， non- nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors （NNRTI） and protease inhibitors （PI）， including 45 cases of NRTI， 61 cases of NNRTI and 2 cases of PI resistance. ConclusionThe HIV infected people who fail the treatment in Taizhou are mainly with the subtypes CRF01_AE and CRF07_BC. The rate of drug-resistance mutation is at a moderate level， mainly due to the mutation of NRTI and NNRTI drug-resistance sites， and a small number of PI drug-resistance sites. Therefore， the antiviral treatment plan for HIV infected people should be reasonably adjusted， and the detection of drug-resistance mutation sites should be strengthened to avoid the generation of transmissible drug-resistance strains.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveWe examined the principal respiratory pathogens in patients with acute respiratory tract infection in Taizhou， Zhejiang Province during 2020‒2021 to provide evidence for prevention， diagnosis and treatment of acute respiratory tract infection. MethodsFrom September 2020 to August 2021， a total of 2 831 cases with acute respiratory tract infection were collected from two influenza sentinel surveillance hospitals in Taizhou， which had then received the examination of 22 respiratory pathogens by multiple fluorescence quantitative PCR. ResultsThe total positive rate of respiratory pathogens in 2 831 samples was 14.13%， among which enterovirus （7.77%） and respiratory syncytial virus （1.59%） were the principal pathogens. Except enterovirus， there was no significant difference in the positive rate of pathogens detected by gender（P>0.05）. Moreover， there was significant difference in pathogens by age （P<0.05）， with the highest positive rate in 0‒4 years（35.21%）. There was also significant difference in pathogens by seasons （P<0.05）， with the highest positive rate in summer（20.54%）. ConclusionThe positive rate of acute respiratory tract infection decreases significantly， compared with that before the COVID-19 epidemic. The differences in the positive rate differ significantly by age and seasons. Comprehensive consideration of diverse factors before diagnosis and the utilization of multiple fluorescent quantitative PCR can quickly and effectively determine the pathogens in the early stage of infection. Our findings may provide certain support for the diagnosis and treatment of acute respiratory infections in the context of COVID-19 in Taizhou.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effect of intravenous prophylactic administration of dezocine before anesthesia induction on choking during induction period in patients undergoing general anesthesia.Methods:A total of 92 patients with tracheal intubation surgery under general anesthesia from November 2020 to May 2021 in the Zhejiang Taizhou Hospital were selected and randomly divided into the observation groupand the control group by random number table, with 46 cases in each group. The observation group was intravenously injected with 0.1 mg/kg dezocine while the control group was intravenously injected with 0.9% sodium chloride 5 ml before anesthesia induction. Anesthesia induction was performed at 10 min after injection in the two groups. Heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and catecholamine, interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were recorded at before anesthesia induction (T 0), 1 min before endotracheal intubation (T 1), 1 min after intubation (T 2), and 5 min after endotracheal intubation (T 3). The incidence and degree of choking, the agitation score, visual analog scale (VAS) score, Ramsay sedation score and the incidence of adverse reactions in the two groups were compared. Results:The levels of HR, SBP and DBP at T 0, T 1, T 2 and T 3 in the two groups had no significant differences ( P>0.05). The levels of catecholamine and IL-6 in the control group were higher than those in the observation group: (120.49 ± 15.13) ng/L vs.(113.53 ± 17.14) ng/L, (16.80 ± 2.61) ng/L vs. (13.46 ± 1.55) ng/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The recovery time to spontaneous breathing in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group: (8.76 ± 2.14) min vs. (9.87 ± 2.09) min, there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). The incidence of choking in the observation group was lower than that in the control group: 2.17%(1/46) vs. 21.74%(10/46), there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). The scores of agitation score and VAS in the observation group were lower than that in the control group, and the scores of Ramsay sedation score was higher than that in the control group: (1.43 ± 0.26) scores vs. (2.11 ± 0.14) scores, (3.55 ± 1.03) scores vs. (4.86 ± 1.15) scores, (3.13 ± 0.76) scores vs. (1.54 ± 0.32) scores, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was lower than that in the control group: 6.52%(3/46) vs. 23.91% (11/46), there was statistical differences ( χ2 = 5.39, P<0.05). Conclusions:For patients with tracheal intubation under general anesthesia, preventive injection of dezocine before anesthesia induction can effectively inhibit the stress response of patients, with little impact on the patients′ circulatory system and respiratory system, and can also effectively reduce the incidence of choking in the induction period.

Taking the actual size of blue light board in jaundice treatment box as an example, the optimal illumination uniformity with best LED arrays layout are obtained through programming iteration and simulation verification. The uniformity of blue light LED improved 42.9 % comparing with tradition LED arrays.

AIM:To investigate the effect of intravenous infusion of lidocaine on postoperative pain,return of bowel function and stress response after hysterectomia surgery. METHODS:Sixty patients scheduled to undergo hysterectomia surgery were randomly divided into two groups with thirty in each group. Group L received intravenous lidocaine bolus injection of 1.5 mg/kg at induction of anesthesia,then continuous infusion of 1 mg?kg-1?h-1 intraoperatively and infusion of 100 mg plus sulfentanyl 50 mg for 48 h postperatively. Group S received an equal volume saline and infusion of sulfentanyl 100 mg for 48 h postperatively. Postoperative pain score at rest and cough were recorded by VAS. The times of first flatus,enterocinesia were recorded and the levels of motilin,cortisol and serum glucose were measured. RESULTS:Lidocaine significantly reduced postoperative pain,nause and vomit scores. Times to first flatus,enterocinesia were significantly shorter in patients who received lidocaine. the levels of motilin were significantly higher,but the levels of cortisol and serum glucose were significantly lower in Group L than in Group S. CONCLUSION:Intravenous lidocaine relieves postoperative pain,improve bowel function through increasing plasma motilin levels and decreasing stress responses after hysterectomia surgery.
