The research on regulation rules of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome was the core of TCM syndrome information. It was thought that the constitution identification which provided the technology for evaluating health status was one of the bases in drawing the curve of conditional standard of syndrome. It was fitted and analyzed by the curve of conditional evolution of syndrome through establishing the curve of conditional standard of TCM constitution theory. It was the key technology of realizing the dynamical evaluation of TCM clinical effect.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of malaria in Hechi City,Guangxi Zhuang Autono?mous Region from 2005 to 2015,so as to provide the evidence for formulating and adjusting measures of malaria elimination. Methods The data of malaria cases in 11 counties of Hechi City from 2005 to 2015 were collected and analyzed by using Micro?soft Office Excel 2003 and SPSS 17.0. Results A total of 160 malaria cases were reported in Hechi City from 2005 to 2015, and the annual average malaria incidence was 3.6 per million. There were 10 local recurrence cases(accounting for 6.25%,10/160)and 150 imported cases(accounting for 93.75%,150/160). For the etiology,Plasmodium vivax accounted for 51.87%(83/160)in these cases,P. falciparum accounted for 34.38%(55/160),P. ovale accounted for 1.25%(2/160),P. malariae account?ed for 5.00%(8/160),and the indeterminate accounted for 7.50%(12/160). During the period of 11 years,the malaria inci?dence first dropped and then rose. There were no local cases after 2009. However,an imported falciparum malaria death case was reported in 2010,a severe imported falciparum malaria case was reported in 2013 and another in 2015. A severe case of ma?ternal?neonatal vivax malaria was reported in 2014. These cases were mainly distributed in 10 counties of Hechi City,with more young male adults who engaged in digging mining. More cases concentrated from April to August. Most of the reported malaria cases were imported,60.00%(96/160)of them returned from Africa and Southeast Asia,and 33.75%(54/160)from other do?mestic provinces. The median of the interval from symptom appearance to diagnosis was 5 d,and there was a significant differ?ence among the above years(c2=33.40,P<0.05). Conclusions Malaria is still an important public health problem in Hechi City,and the appropriate control measures and effective tools should be strengthened for malaria elimination. The key to consoli?date the achievements of malaria control is strengthening the malaria monitoring management of the floating population.

Objective To discuss the application value of modified Hodge test(MHT) for screening carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae.Methods The 24 Enterobacteriaceae reduced susceptibility to carbapenems were detected by MHT.At the same time,polymerase chain reaction(PCR) was used to detect carbapenemase genes of KPC,NDM,IMP,SIM and VIM.PCR products were sequenced and the results were compared with the sequences of Gen Bank database.Comprehensive analysis the application value of MHT and PCR to detect carbapenemase.Results Among these 24 strains,13 stains appeared to produce carbapenemase by MHT,5 positive strains were found to carry carbapenemase genes by PCR.By comparing with the sequences of Gen Bank database 1 strain were confirmed to KPC-2 and 4 strains were confirmed to IMP-4.We found that 4 strains of Enterobacteriaceae,detected carbapenemase by MHT and PCR at the same time.9 strains of MHT were positive,but we couldn′t detect the carbapenemase genes.1 strain of MHT was negative,but carbapenemase gene was found in the strain.Conclusion The value of MHT to screen carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae is necessary to further study.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of efavirenz-based therapy in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/hepatitis C virus (HCV) co-infection. Methods Fiftythree HIV/HCV co-infected patients received efavirenz-based therapy were followed up for 7 years.The changes of CD4+ T lymphocyte count, HIV virus load, hepatic function, hepatic fibrosis index,blood lipid, blood glucose, blood uric acid and blood routine were observed. The comparison of means before and after treatment was performed by t-test. Results The HIV RNA levels at baseline and endpoint were (4. 56±0. 88) lg copy/mL and (1.70±1.10) lg copy/mL, respectively (t=14. 781, P＜0.01). The peripheral blood CD4+ T lymphocyte counts were ( 188.37±151.14)×106/L and (445.18±314.25)×106/L, respectively (t=5.362, P＜0.01).The alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels were (36.6±16.3) U/L and (57.2±9.9) U/L, respectively (t=7.864, P＜0. 01).The glycocholic acid levels were (444.22±476.74) mg/L and (556.88±733.05) mg/L, respectively (t=0.938, P＜0.05). The Ⅳ-collagen(Ⅳ-C) levels were (45.13±8.25) ng/mL and (47.88±4.51) ng/mL, respectively (t= 2.129, P＜0.05). The riacylglycerol levels were (1.57±0.65)mmol/L and (2.51±1.29) mmol/L, respectively (t=4.737, P＜0.01). The blood uric acid levels were (298.5±48.2) mmol/L and (495.1±89.4) mmol/L, respectively (t= 14.092, P＜0.01).Conclusions The efavirenz-based therapy is efficacious in HIV/HCV co-infected patients, but it could cause liver injury and metabolic disorder.
