Objective To explore the relationship between the posterior circulation ischemia(PCI) and vertebrobasilar artery lesion.Methods 57 patients with PCI(PCI group) were examined by DCE-MRA for their craniocervical artery,and the results were compared with the stroke inpatients but non-PCI during the same period(non-PCI group).Results The abnormal rate of vertebrobasilar artery in PCI group(70.2%)was significantly higher than that in non-PCI group(50.7%)(P

The separation of anionic compounds by strong anion-exchange capillary electrochromatography (SAX-CEC) was carried out. It was found that the analytes could be absorbed onto the stationary phase, and this would lessen the retention factors (k) of the analytes, thus the column separation capability decreased. For the acidic compounds, k increased with increase of applied voltage. And the change of the applied voltage could provide different separation selectivity for the solutes. The separation with different eluent was studied. It showed that the logarithm of the capacity factor linearly decreased with increase of the logarithm of the ionic strength. The different retention behavior of the anionic compounds in SAX-CEC and CE was also studied

Reactive continuous rods of macroporous poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) have been prepared by “in-situ” copolymerization of the monomers in the presence of porogenic dilute,and protein A was immobilized on the continuous rods directly or through a 11 carbon atom space arm with molded synthetic methods.The properties of these two rods columns were characterized and the results showed that the medium with space arm had some extent hydrophobicity.The affinity column without space arm was used to determine the human immunoglobulin G (HIgG) in human serum.The correlative coefficient of the calibration curve was 0.999.The effect of the flow rate on the pressure of the continuous rods was also investigated.The subclasses of HIgG were separated by the use of a pH gradient.

Objective To investigate the safety of rituximab combination chemotherapy in the treatment of B-cell non-Hodgkin' s lymphoma (B-NHL) complicated with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection,and assess the incidence of HBV reactivation reduced by prophylactic lamivudine.Methods A retrospective study of HBV-related markers,HBV-DNA and liver function was performed before and after rituximabcontaining treatment in B-NHL patients.Thirty nine B-NHL patients with HBcAb(+)/HBsAb(-) were divided into prophylactic group (14 cases) and control group (25 cases).The incidences of HBV reactivation,functional damage of liver were measured.Results Among the 108 B-NHL patients who received rituximab combinatio nchemotherapy,15 (13.89 ％) were HBsAg (+) and 39 (36.11％) HBsAg (-) / HBcAb (+).Of the 15 HBsAg (+)patients,2 (13.3 ％) experienced reactivation of HBV.The prevalence of HBV reactivation was 7.7 ％(1/13) in patients who received prophylactic antiviral treatment and 50 ％ (1/2) in those who did not receivelamivudine.Among the 39 HBsAg (-) / HBcAb (+) patients,3 cases (7.7 ％) experienced reactivation of HBV.The prevalence of HBV reactivation was 0 in patients who receivcd prophylactic lamivudine treatment and 12 ％ (3/25) in those who did not receive this antiviral drug.Conclusion Prophylactic lamivudine before rituximab combination chemotherapy can reduce HBV reactivation obviously.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the epidemiological characteristics of human infections with avian influenza A (H7N9) in China and to provide scientific evidence for the adjustment of preventive strategy and control measures.

METHODSDemographic and epidemiologic information on human cases were collected from both reported data of field epidemiological investigation and the reporting system for infectious diseases.

RESULTSA total of 433 cases including 163 deaths were reported in mainland China before June 4, 2014. Two obvious epidemic peaks were noticed, in March to April, 2013 and January to February, 2014. Confirmed cases emerged in 14 areas of China. Five provinces, including Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, and Hunan, reported about 85% of the total cases. Median age of the confirmed cases was 58 years (range, 1-91), with 70% as males. Of the 418 cases with available data, 87% had ever exposed to live poultry or contaminated environments. 14 clusters were identified but human to human transmission could not be ruled out in 9 clusters.

CONCLUSIONHuman infections with avian influenza A (H7N9) virus showed the characteristics of obvious seasonal distribution, with certain regional clusters. The majority of confirmed cases were among the elderly, with more males seen than the females. Data showed that main source of infection was live poultry and the live poultry market had played a significant role in the transmission of the virus.
