RESUMEN
Objective@#To explore drug resistance of different viral loads, and investigate the relationship between drug resistance and CD4+T cell counts in patients with HIV antiretroviral therapy (ART) in China from 2003 to 2015.@*Methods@#Data were extracted from the Chinese National HIVDR Surveillance database from 2003 to 2015. For this study, the data collected were as follows: having received ART for ≥12 months; 18 years or older; demographic characteristics, information of ART, CD4+T cell counts, viral load (VL) and HIV drug resistance of a total of 8 362 patients were collected. Multi-variables non-conditional logistic regression model was used to study the relationship between viral load, HIV drug resistance and CD4+T cell counts.@*Results@#Participants with age of (41.8±10.5) years were enrolled in this study. Among them, 59.9% (5 009 cases) were men. The percentage of CD4+T cell counts <200 cells/μl in the total population was 17.9% (1 496 cases), the highest was in VL ≥1 000 copies/ml with drug resistance, which was 43.0% (397/923) , followed by VL 50-999 copies/ml with drug resistance, which was 31.1% (69/222), and the lowest was in VL 50-999 copies/ml without drug resistance 13.2% (273/2 068). Compared to VL 50-999 copies/ml without drug resistance, VL<50 copies/ml, VL 50-999 with drug resistance, VL≥1 000 copies/ml without drug resistance, and VL ≥1 000 copies/ml with drug resistance, the OR (95%CI) of CD4 <200 cells/μl were 0.9 (0.7-1.0), 3.2 (2.3-4.4), 2.6 (2.1-3.2), and 4.9 (4.0-5.9), respectively. Among 222 patients with VL 50-999 and HIVDR, the most frequent antiretroviral drugs were EFV and NVP, both of which were NNRTI, and whose percentage both were 94.1% (209 cases). The most frequent mutations were M184V/I (NNRTI), and the percentage was 26.1% (58 cases). The second one was K103N (NNRTI), and the percentage was 22.5% (50 cases). The percentage of V32L/E (PI) and V82A (PI) were lower, they were 0.9% (2 cases) and 0.5% (1 case) respectively.@*Conclusion@#Decreased CD4+T cell counts were associated with HIV drug resistance at low viraemia. In the case of low viral load, the most vulnerable were the NNRTI antiviral drugs such as EFV and NVP.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the surgical efficacy of end-to-end layered anastomosis for patients with esophagogastrostomy after esophagectomy.Methods Selected 35 patients who received end-to-end layered anastomosis in esophagogastrostomy after esophagectomy in people' s hospital of Meishan from January 2016 to February 2017 as end-to-end group,while 21 patients with end-to-side layered anastomosis in esophagogastrostomy after esophagectomy as end-to-side group.The anastomosis time,anastomosis tension,oppression degree,fistula incidence,acid reflux incidence,belching incidence and obstruction incidence between two groups were compared.Results The average anastomosis time was (25.17 ± 5.15)minutes in end-to-end group,and (26.10 ± 5.30)minutes in end-to-side group,the difference was not significant (P > 0.05).The anastomosis tension of end-to-end group,without oppression,was mostly smaller than that of end-to-side group.There were no case of anastomotic fistula in end-to-end group and 2 cases(14.29%) of anastomotic fistula in end-to-side group,the difference was not significant (P > 0.05).There were no case of obstruction in end-to-end group and 4 cases (19.05%) of obstruction in end-to-side group,the difference was significant (P =0.016).There was no significant difference in acid reflux and belching between the two groups (P > 0.05) in perioperative period and 6 months after surgery.There was no delayed anastomotic fistula and anastomotic stenosis needing expansion in 6 months after surgery.Conclusion Without causing more adverse reactions,end-to-end layered anastomosis in esophagogastrostomy after esophagectomy can avoid the incision that may affect the blood supply of esophagus and stomach,and avoid the pressure from esophagus and stomach.
RESUMEN
Objective To compare the efficacy of surgical treatment(ST) and mechanical ventilation treatment(MVT) for flail chest.Methods From March 2013 to May 2017,81 patients with flail chest who underwent ST(28 cases) and MVT(53 cases) were enrolled in ICU.The relevant indicators of efficacy were compared including mechanical ventilation (MV) time,bed rest time,oxygen administration time,catheterization time,antibiotic use time,drug analgesia,drug analgesia patients,proportion of stop/postoperative sputum alone,ICU treatment time,hospital stay,mortality,readmission within two months and long-term pulmonary function after discharge.Results The MV time,bed time,oxygen time,antibiotic use time,ICU treatment time and hospitalization time of MVT were longer than those of ST group,the differences were significant(P < 0.05).MVT had more analgesic times,more analgesic cases,smaller proportion of offline/postoperative sputum along and less hospitalization fees compared with ST group,the differences were significant(P <0.05).There was no significant difference in the main indexes of pulmonary function between two groups in 3 months after discharge.Conclusion ST and MVT respectively has advantages and disadvantages for flail chest.There is no significant difference in long-term pulmonary function of ST and MVT.While MVT has less trauma and lower cost.The appropriate treatment could be selected according to the clinical situation.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the value of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI)in identification of different molecular sub-types for breast cancer classifications.Methods All patients with breast cancer were divided into four subtypes groups by immuno-histochemistry results including Luminal A subtype,Luminal B subtype,HER2-over expressing (HER2-OE)subtype,and triple negative breast cancer (TNBC),respectively.The means of maximum,average,and minimum ADC of the lesions in all patients were recorded.The analysis of ANOVA and least significant difference test (LSD-t )were used for the statistical evaluation.Results There were significant differences in maximum ADC,average ADC,and minimum ADC among Luminal A subtype (n=21),Lu-minal B subtype (n=22),HER2-OE subtype (n=1 7)and TNBC subtype (n=12)groups (P =0.025,0.039 and 0.041,respec-tively).However,paired comparison in mean of maximum ADC,average ADC and minimum ADC by LSD-t multiple comparisons among Luminal A,Luminal B,HER2-OE and TNBC respectively were not significantly different.Conclusion DWI may be difficult to discriminate the molecular subtypes of breast cancer classification before surgery or biopsy.
RESUMEN
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the long-term efficacy and safety of warm needling therapy combined with rehabilitation training in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) for the patients living in simple room after earthquake.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Eighty-eight cases of KOA were randomized into a warm needling group and an acupuncture group, 44 cases in each one. In the warm needling group, the warm needling therapy was applied at Neixiyan (EX LE 4) and Dubi (ST 35), in combination with rehabilitation training. In the acupuncture group, the same rehabilitation training was received, and the same acupoints were selected as the warm needling group, but only stimulated with acupuncture without moxibustion applied. The clinical efficacy was observed after 20 treatments and in 1-2 months of follow-up.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The total effective rate was 100.0% (41/41) in the warm needling group, which was apparently superior to 85.4% (35/41) in the acupuncture group (P < 0.05). The symptom integral, pain and knee joint function score were all improved significantly after 20 treatments in both groups (all P < 0.05). The improvements in symptoms and pain in the warm needling group were superior apparently to the acupuncture group (all P < 0.05). The efficacy remained well within 2 months follow-up (all P < 0.05). But the difference in knee joint function score was not statistically significant between the two groups (all P > 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The combined therapy of warm needling and rehabilitation training achieves the superior efficacy and good safety in the treatment of KOA as compared with the combined therapy of simple acupuncture and rehabilitation training for the patients living in simple room after earthquake.</p>

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>A bioactive compound from Paecilomyces tenuipes (BCPT) has an inhibitory effect on monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) and monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) in vitro and in vivo, which indicates BCPT may be a potential antidepressant. In this study we aimed to study the antidepressant effects of BCPT in the chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) model in rats and explore underlying mechanisms in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The antidepressant effects of BCPT were studied in the chronic unpredictable stress model in rats. Animals were housed isolated, except the control group. Rats were exposed daily to different random stressors from day 1 to 21. Awarding response was detected by calculating the 24-hour consumption of sucrose water. Cortisol (CORT) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ATCH) contents in serum and arginine vasopressin (AVP) contents in the pituitary body were detected by radio immunoassays. Total RNA of hippocampus or hypothalamus was extracted and subjected to reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for the measurement of corticotrophin releasing hormone (CRH) mRNA or mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) mRNA and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) mRNA levels. Statistical analyses were performed using one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Student-Newman-Keuls (SNK) test.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Chronic unpredictable stress resulted in reduction of sensitivity to reward and abnormality in the HPA axis in the animal model. BCPT improved the reward reaction as measured by increasing sucrose consumption, remarkably reduced serum CORT and ACTH levels and the AVP content in the pituitary body in the CUS-treated rats, decreased the expression of CRH mRNA, enhanced the expression of hippocampus MR mRNA, GR mRNA and decreased the ratio of MR/GR.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>BCPT has potentially antidepressant-like activity and normalized the HPA axis hyperactivity in a CUS model of depression in rats. This may be an important mechanism of its antidepressant effect.</p>
