Objective To investigate the clinical effect of entecavir combined with adefovir dipivoxil in the treatment of lamivudine -resistant hepatitis B cirrhosis,to provide a reference for clinical treatment.Methods 117 cases of liver cirrhosis with lamivudine resistance were selected,they were divided into the control group and the observation group according to treatment.60 cases in the observation group used entecavir and adefovir combination therapy,57 cases in the control group was given lamivudine combined with adefovir dipivoxil.The HBeAg conversion rate,HBV -DNA negative rate,liver function,liver function Child -pugh score were compared between two groups.Results After treatment for 24 weeks,48 weeks,the HBV -DNA negative conversion rates in the observation group were 75.00%, 95.00%,which were higher than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant (χ2 =4.251, P =0.024;χ2 =4.535,P =0.018).In the observation group,ALB,ALT,TBiL,PT improved better than the control group,the differences were statistically significant(t =4.229,P =0.025;t =6.214,P =0.008;t =5.514,P =0.014;t =5.233,P =0.017).After treatment,CTP of the observation group was (7.15 ±1.05)points,which was significantly lower than the control group (8.86 ± 1.47)points,the difference was statistically significant (t =5.874,P =0.010).The incidence rate of adverse reactions between the two groups showed no statistically significant difference (P >0.05).Conclusion Entecavir combined with adefovir dipivoxil therapy has good effect for lamivudine -resistant liver cirrhosis,which will help to improve liver function,inhibit HBV replication,it is worthy of clinical application.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and dark septate endophytes (DSE) colonizing Panax notoginseng in three main producing areas in Wenshan Prefecture of Yunan province were investigated. The fungal colonization of 144 roots samples including healthy and rot roots of P. notoginseng with different age were observed by means of acid fuchsin stain. The results showed that P. notoginseng was the typical arbuscular mycorrhizal plant. Although there was no significant difference in AMF and DSE colonization among three sites, the total colonization of AMF was significantly higher than that of DSE. Statistical analysis demonstrated that the fresh weight of P. notoginseng root was positively significantly correlated with the colonization of AMF, but not with the colonization of DSE. These results suggest that AMF may play more important role than DSE in improving the yield and quality of P. notoginseng. Furthermore, AMF colonization of healthy P. notoginseng was higher than that of plant with root rot, which suggested that AMF could defend P. notoginseng against root rot pathogens. AMF have great potentiality and broad prospect to control root rot of P. notoginseng.

Objective To construct a non-trace deletion mutant of exlA in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain NY8755(NY8755ΔexlA)and investigate the basic characteristics of pore-forming toxin ExlA.Methods The NY8755ΔexlA was constructed using the secondary homologous recombination method.C57BL/6J female mice ages 6 to 8 weeks were infected with NY8755 and NY8755 ΔexlA via aerosolized intratraheal inoculation respectively.Within 7 days of infection,the survival and weight changes of the mice were observed and recorded before the proinflammatory cytokines in the bronchoal-veolar lavage fluid(BALF)of the infected mice in the two groups were detected.Results The sequencing results showed that NY8755 ΔexlA was constructed.After 1×107 CFU NY8755 and NY8755 ΔexlA were infected,all the mice in the wild-type strain group died within 48 hours,while those in the mutant strain group began to die after 48 hours,and 40%of them remained alive 7 days later.The weight of surviving mice in the mutant strain group decreased but recovered gradually.After 12 hours of infection,there were more bloody exudates(redder in color)in the BALF of the wild-type strain group than in the mutant strain group,and the contents of proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and interleukin-17A (IL-17A)were significantly different. Conclusion Pseudomonas aeruginosa pore-forming toxin ExlA is the key pathogenic virulence factor of the exlA-positive Pseudomonas aeruginosa,which can significantly affect the survival status of mice and cause obvious inflammation in mice. Very little information is available on the action mechanisms of ExlA. In this study, The NY8755ΔexlA and the C57BL/6J mouse models infected with NY8755 and NY8755ΔexlA have been constructed that may be used for the investigation of pathogenesis of exlA-positive Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
