RESUMO
ABSTRACT Antiviral drug resistance is the most important factor contributing to treatment failure using nucleos(t)ide analogs such as lamivudine for chronic infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV). Development of a system supporting efficient replication of clinically resistant HBV strains is imperative, and new antiviral drugs are needed urgently to prevent selection of drug-resistant HBV mutants. A novel fluorinated cytidine analog, NCC (N-cyclopropyl-4′-azido-2′-deoxy-2′-fluoro-β-d-cytidine), was recently shown to strongly inhibit human HBV in vitro and in vivo. This study was designed to evaluate the antiviral activity of NCC against lamivudine-resistant HBV. We generated a stable cell line encoding the major pattern of lamivudine-resistant mutations rtL180M/M204V and designated it "HepG2.RL1". Immuno-transmission electron microscopic examination and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were used to detect secretion of HBV-specific particles and antigens. Quantification of extracellular DNA and intracellular DNA of HepG2.RL1 cells by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction revealed >625-fold and >5556-fold increases in the 50% inhibitory concentration of lamivudine, respectively, compared with that for the wild-type virus. The results showed that NCC inhibited DNA replication and HBeAg production in wild-type or lamivudine-resistant HBV in a dose-dependent manner. In conclusion, screening for antiviral compounds active against lamivudine-resistant HBV can be carried out with relative ease using hepG2.RL1 cells. NCC is a potential antiviral agent against wild-type HBV and clinical lamivudine-resistant HBV and deserves evaluation for the treatment of HBV infection.

The paper conducts a case study of Yangzhou No.1 People′s Hospital, introduces the practice of outpatient process opti-mization based on informatization support platform, analyzes the operation status of self-service outpatient service platform and existing problems.Based on the M/M/s model in queuing theory, the queuing model of payment for outpatient service in the hospital is construc-ted, the characteristics of queuing payment problems for outpatient service are revealed, the relationship between the sharing rate of self-service terminals and the average length of the queue in service windows, the average waiting time of patients.
RESUMO
This study was aimed to compare clinical effect and safety of ring mixed hemorrhoids treatment with pro-cedure for prolapsed and hemorrhoids (PPH) and Milligan-Morgan (M-M) in order to evaluate their effects of health economics. Retrospective analysis was given on clinical data of 100 cases (including 48 cases in P group, 52 cases in M group) which met the inclusion criteria from June 2008 to June 2010 in the Affiliated Hospital of Luzhou Med-ical College. Statistical analysis was made on short- and long-term effect, patient satisfaction, perioperative and postoperative complications of two groups. The cost-effectiveness was analyzed with the effect of health economics methods. The results showed that there was no obvious difference on short-term effect between two groups. However, aspects such as surgery time, hospitalization time, back to work time, duration of pain, bleeding condition, postopera-tive pain and anal swelling in P group were significantly better than M group (P< 0.05); long-term effect and cost-effectiveness in M group were obviously better than P group (P < 0.05). There was no obvious difference on inci-dence rate of adverse reaction between two groups. It was concluded that the traditional external dissection and inter-nal ligation for circumferential mixed hemorrhoids had better clinical effect of both short- and long-term with better cost-effectiveness. It is still a better surgical treatment for circular mixed hemorrhoids.
