This study is to investigate the mechanism and action characteristics of 6-chloro-3-methyl-4-(2-methyoxycarbonylthiophene-3-sulfonyl)-3, 4-dihydroquinoxa-lin-2-(1 H)-one (XU07011) against HIV-1 replication. XU07011 anti-HIV activity was tested by using VSVG/HIV pseudotype viral system and confirmed by HIV-1 live viruses' infectious assay. Time of addition was used to test HIV-1 reverse transcription process. RNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity and RNase H activity were tested by using enzyme linked immunoabsorbent assay and fluorescence method. Wild type and nine NNRTIs-resistant reverse transcriptase enzymatic models and cell-based pharmacological models were used to evaluate XU07011 bio-characteristics. The results showed that XU07011 inhibited HIV-1 replication with IC50 of (0.057 +/- 0.01) micromol x L(-1) which was comparable to nevirapine [IC50: (0.046 +/- 0.01) micromol x L(-1)]. Mechanism study data indicated that XU07011 blocked HIV-1 reverse transcription process through acting on reverse transcriptase RNA-dependent DNA polymerase with IC 50 of (1.1 +/- 0.3) micromol x L(-1). The compound showed no effect on RNase H activity. XU07011 exhibited better activities comparing with nevirapine on K103N mutated NNRTIs-resistant HIV-1 strains. This study could provide a theoretical basis for novel anti-HIV reagents development.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of a period of joint fusion and plate internal fixation for four parts calcaneal fractures.Methods The clinical data of 53 patients with four parts calcaneal fractures from January 2009 to January 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.Twenty-two patients were performed a period of joint fusion (joint fusion group),31 patients were performed plate internal fixation (plate internal fixation group).The Bohler angle and Gissane corner before and after operation,operation time and bleeding,the Maryland foot function score between two groups were compared.Results Compared with before operation,the Bohler angle and Gissane corner in plate internal fixation group and joint fusion group were improved significantly after operation (34.6° ± 4.2° vs.5.7° ± 2.4°,125.4° ± 8.2° vs.87.2° ± 6.8°,32.8° ± 3.9° vs.5.4° ± 2.7°,127.6° ± 7.8° vs.86.9° ± 6.7°),and there were significant differences (P ＜0.05),but the Bohler angle and Gissane corner before and after operation between two groups had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).The operation time and bleeding were (52.1 ± 5.1) min,(50.0 ± 10.2) ml in plate internal fixation group and (70.3 ± 5.2) min,(105.0 ± 20.5) ml in joint fusion group,and there were significant differences between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).The fineness rate of Maryland foot function at 6 months follow-up between two groups had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The plate internal fixation and joint fusion is therapeutic equivalence in treatment of four parts calcaneal fractures.Due to the small surgical trauma and less bleeding of plate internal fixation,it may be preferred in the treatment of four parts calcaneal fractures.

Ob jective To research the gene expression profile of aura-absence migraine patients before and after acupuncture of Shaoyang meridian acupoints or non-acupoints. Methods Twenty aura-absence migraine patients were randomly divided into meridian acupoint group and non-acupoint group, 10 cases in each group. Gene chip technology was used to investigate the differences of two sets of gene expression profiles, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was applied for the analysis of partial genes to verify the accuracy of gene chip detection results. Results Seventy-two differentially expressed genes were obtained in meridian acupoint group, and 110 differentially expressed genes were obtained in non-acupoint group. The function genes of meridian acupoint group involved brain endorphin enzyme, adenosine triphosphate ( ATP) synthase, etc., which were closely related with the curing of aura-absence migraine. Non-acupoint group had extensive and scattered function genes involving apoptosis, DNA repair, etc., which had less correlation with the curing of aura-absence migraine. ATPAF2, PTGS2, TOR3A genes of meridian acupoint group and ACP2, AURKA, ARHGEF11, CASP8 gene of non-acupoint group presented by RT-PCR analysis had verified the reliability of microarray data. Conclusion The therapeutic effect of meridian acupoints acupuncture for aura-absence migraine has achieved through the multi-gene action at the molecular level, but the corresponding target genes for the placebo effect of non-acupoint acupuncture have not been found , which demonstrates the existence of meridian effect.

PURPOSE: The aim of the present study was to compare the prevalence of self-reported and confirmable allergic rhinitis (AR) with positive skin prick test (SPT) results among adults living in urban and rural areas of China. METHODS: Adults from a community in Beijing and a village in Baoding were selected as representative urban and rural dwellers, respectively. All eligible residents were enrolled from the population register and received a face-to-face interview using modified validated questionnaires. Equal sets of randomly selected self-reporting AR-positive and AR-negative participants who responded to the questionnaires were also investigated using skin prick tests. RESULTS: A total of 803 participants in the rural area and a total of 1,499 participants in the urban area completed the questionnaires, with response rates being 75.9% and 81.5% respectively. The prevalence of self-reported AR of the rural area (19.1%) was significantly higher than that of the urban area (13.5%). The elementary school of educational level increased the risk of having AR (adjusted OR=2.198, 95% CI=1.072-2.236) .The positive SPT rates among subjects with self-reported AR in the rural and urban areas were 32.5% and 53.3%, respectively; the confirmable AR prevalence of 6.2% and 7.2% among the rural and urban adults, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of confirmable AR is similar between rural and urban areas in China, although there is a higher prevalence of self-reported AR in the former.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and pathogenic types of suspected pertussis syndrome in infants,so as to provide reference for the treatment. Methods Seventy-one infants of suspected pertussis in Shanghai Children′s Medical Center from Nov 2016 to Aug 2017 were detected by the Filmarray which can detect Bordetella pertussis and 17 viruses. According to the results,the infants were divided into two groups:pertussis group(n=29) and pertussis-like group(n=42). According to the severity of the dis-ease,they were divided into mild group(n=50) and severe group(n=21). Clinical data was retrospectively analyzed and compared. Results All 71 infants came to the hospital with cough. Paroxysmal cough happened in 18 cases(62. 1％)in pertussis group,more common than that in pertussis-like group[9 cases(21. 4％)] (χ2 =12. 023,P<0. 01),and the WBC count,lymphocyte ratio,the mixed virus infection rate were higher in pertussis group than those in pertussis-like group[(20. 00 ± 8. 62) × 109/L vs. (13. 42 ± 6. 58) × 109/L,t=-3. 647,P<0. 01;(70. 38 ± 8. 97)％ vs. (56. 26 ± 20. 38)％,t = -3. 967,P <0. 01;22 cases(75. 9％) vs. 16 cases(38. 1％),χ2 =9. 836,P<0. 01]. The cases of mixed bacterial infection in pertussis-like group were 13(31. 0％),which was higher than that in pertussis group[3(10. 3％)](χ2 =4. 173,P<0. 05). The incidence of cyanosis was found in 12 cases(57. 1％)in severe group,which was more common than that of mild group[12 cases(24. 0％)](χ2 =7. 260,P<0. 01), and hospitalization days were(14. 5 ± 7. 8) days, which was higher than that in mild group[(7. 0 ± 3. 1)days] (t= -4. 250, P<0. 01). The infants in the pertussis group were given macrolides antibiotics and sulfamethoxazole complex,and the infants in the pertus-sis-like group were treated with antiviral and other specific treatment. Among 71 infants, 67 cases (94. 4％) were cured and 3 cases (4. 2％) were improved. Conclusion The clinical features of suspected pertussis in infants are not typical, so the early pathogenic diagnosis is very important. Filmarray detection system for multi PCR system can detect 20 kinds of pathogens with short operation time,which is very helpful for the early and rapid diagnosis of pathogens and rational use of drugs. It is worthy of clinical promotion.

Background::Cerebrovascular disease (CVD) ranks among the foremost factors responsible for mortality on a global scale. The mortality patterns of CVDs and temporal trends in China need to be well-illustrated and updated.Methods::We collected mortality data on patients with CVD from Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s Disease Surveillance Points (CDC-DSP) system. The mortality of CVD in 2020 was described by age, sex, residence, and region. The temporal trend from 2013 to 2019 was evaluated using joinpoint regression, and estimated rates of decline were extrapolated until 2030 using time series models.Results::In 2019, the age-standardized mortality in China (ASMRC) per 100,000 individuals was 113.2. The ASMRC for males (137.7/10 5) and rural areas (123.0/10 5) were both higher when stratified by gender and urban/rural residence. The central region had the highest mortality (126.5/10 5), the western region had a slightly lower mortality (123.5/10 5), and the eastern region had the lowest mortality (97.3/10 5). The age-specific mortality showed an accelerated upward trend from aged 55-59 years, with maximum mortality observed in individuals over 85 years of age. The age-standardized mortality of CVD decreased by 2.43% (95% confidence interval, 1.02-3.81%) annually from 2013 to 2019. Notably, the age-specific mortality of CVD increased from 2013 to 2019 for the age group of over 85 years. In 2020, both the absolute number of CVD cases and the crude mortality of CVD have increased compared to their values in 2019. The estimated total deaths due to CVD were estimated to reach 2.3 million in 2025 and 2.4 million in 2030. Conclusion::The heightened focus on the burden of CVD among males, rural areas, the central and western of China, and individuals aged 75 years and above has emerged as a pivotal determinant in further decreasing mortalities, consequently presenting novel challenges to strategies for disease prevention and control.
