Influencing Factors of HIV/ AIDS Death Based on Bayesian Cox Proportional Hazard Regression Model / 中山大学学报(医学科学版)

ObjectiveTo understand the composition of related characteristics of HIV/AIDS cases in Lanzhou and analyze the influencing factors of AIDS-related deaths. MethodsThe information of HIV/AIDS cases reported in Lanzhou from 2011 to 2019 was collected， the method of survival was used analysis and Bayesian Cox Proportional Hazard Regression Model was constructed to analyze the related factors of death. ResultsA total of 2 312 HIV/AIDS patients were selected in this study， including 45 AIDS-related deaths. The results of multivariate regression showed that the older the patients were， the higher the risk of death was； the risk of death of AIDS patients at the time of diagnosis was 13.91 times higher than that of HIV-infected patients； Patients who received CD4 testing had a lower risk of death than those who did not； The risk of death was 0.22 times higher among those who received antiretroviral therapy than those who did not receive antiretroviral therapy. ConclusionsAge at diagnosis， course of disease， antiviral therapy were the influencing factors of AIDS-related death in HIV/AIDS patients in Lanzhou. Therefore， it is necessary to strengthen health education for AIDS-related groups， advocate early detection， early diagnosis， and early treatment， expand the coverage of AIDS testing and treatment， prolong the survival time of AIDS patients.

MicroRNA-125b Accelerates and Promotes PML-RARa-driven Murine Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia / 生物医学与环境科学（英文）

Objective@#Most acute promyelocytic leukemia cases are characterized by the PML-RARa fusion oncogene and low white cell counts in peripheral blood.@*Methods@#Based on the frequent overexpression of miR-125-family miRNAs in acute promyelocytic leukemia, we examined the consequence of this phenomenon by using an inducible mouse model overexpressing human miR-125b.@*Results@#MiR-125b expression significantly accelerates PML-RARa-induced leukemogenesis, with the resultant induced leukemia being partially dependent on continued miR-125b overexpression. Interestingly, miR-125b expression led to low peripheral white cell counts to bone marrow blast percentage ratio, confirming the clinical observation in acute promyelocytic leukemia patients.@*Conclusion@#This study suggests that dysregulated miR-125b expression is actively involved in disease progression and pathophysiology of acute promyelocytic leukemia, indicating that targeting miR-125b may represent a new therapeutic option for acute promyelocytic leukemia.

Analysis of HIV/AIDS epidemic characteristics and spatiotemporal aggregation in Lanzhou City from 2011 to 2018 / 中华疾病控制杂志

Objective To detect the characteristics of acquired immune deficiency syndrom (AIDS) epidemic in Lanzhou City from 2011 to 2018 and the spatiotemporal aggregation of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and AIDS patients at county level, and to provide scientific reference for prevention and control of HIV/AIDS in Lanzhou City. Methods The space-time scanning and measurement method was used to detect, test, and analyze the spatiotemporal aggregation of HIV/AIDS reports. The aggregation characteristics of the AIDS epidemic in time and space were obtained, and the detection results were visualized by ArcGIS 10.3. Results From 2011 to 2018, there were four statistically significant high spatial and temporal aggregation areas in HIV/AIDS in Lanzhou City. One type of gathering area was Chengguan District, Anning District and Gaolan County. The gathering time was from 2015 to 2018 (LLR=108.63,RR=2.02, P<0.001); The second type of aggregation area was the Qilihe area, which gathered from 2015 to 2018 (LLR=60.93,RR=2.11, P<0.001). It was detected that the Qilihe District had a type Ⅰ aggregation of heterosexual transmission from 2014 to 2017, and Gaolan County, Anning District and Chengguan District had a type II aggregation of heterosexual transmission from 2015 to 2018; It was detected that Gaolan County, Anning District and Chengguan District had a type of gathering of same-sex transmission from 2015 to 2018; In the Qilihe District, there was a second category of same-sex communication between 2017 and 2018. Conclusion The HIV/AIDS epidemic in Lanzhou City has spatiotemporal aggregation regardless of the number of reports or different transmission routes. The prevention and control situation is still severe and should be highly valued by the relevant local departments.

Advances in indole alkaloids from traditional Chinese medicine of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis documented in Chinese Pharmacopoeia / 中国中药杂志

Uncaria genus( Rubiaceae) contains 34 species all over the world,of which 11 species and one variant are present in China. Five species,namely U. rhynchophylla,U. macrophylla,U. hirsuta,U. sinensis and U. sessilifructus,are documented in Chinese Pharmacopoeia as the raw materials of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis. Indole alkaloids are the characteristic constituents of Uncaria plants,in addition to triterpenes,lignans and flavones. This paper reviews the progress of indole alkaloids and their distribution within the five Uncaria species documented in Chinese Pharmacopoeia for better understanding the active constituents of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis.

Bioassay-guided isolation of saikosaponins with agonistic activity on 5-hydroxytryptamine 2C receptor from Bupleurum chinense and their potential use for the treatment of obesity / 中国天然药物

5-Hydroxytryptamine 2C (5-HT) receptor is one of the major targets of anti-obesity agents, due to its role in regulation of appetite. In the present study, the 70% EtOH extract of the roots of Bupleurum chinense was revealed to have agonistic activity on 5-HT receptor, and the subsequent bioassay-guided isolation led to identification of several saikosaponins as the active constituents with 5-HT receptor agonistic activity in vitro and anti-obesity activity in vivo. The new compound, 22-oxosaikosaponin d (1), was determined by extensive spectroscopic analyses (HR-ESI-MS, IR, and 1D and 2D NMR). The primary structure-activity relationship study suggested that the intramolecular ether bond between C-13 and C-28 and the number of sugars at C-3 position were closely related to the 5-HT receptor agonistic activity. Saikosaponin a (3), the main saponin in B. chinense, showed obviously agonistic activity on 5-HT receptor with an EC value of 21.08 ± 0.33 μmol·Lin vitro and could reduce food intake by 39.1% and 69.2%, and weight gain by 13.6% and 16.4%, respectively, at 3.0 and 6.0 mg·kgin vivo. This investigation provided valuable information for the potential use of B. chinense as anti-obesity agent.
