Objective:To assess the prevalence of HIV primary drug resistance and drug resistance gene mutations among men who have sex with men (MSM).Methods:We searched eight electronic databases (CNKI,VIP,CBM,Wanfang Database,PubMed,Web of Knowledge,Springer,Medline) for the studies of HIV drug resistance relevant to MSM.Drug resistance and drug resistance mutations data were pooled and analyzed according to statistical test of homogeneity.Subgroups were further divided according to sample size,location,race,quality rating score,sampling time.Results:Forty-three studies were included in this Meta-analysis.The pooled rate of total to protease inhibitor (PI),nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor(NRTI) or non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) were 10.21％ (95％ CI 8.65％ to12.03％),2.98％ (95％ CI 2.25％ to 3.93％),4.05％ (95％ CI 3.14％ to 5.21％),4.42％ (95％ CI 3.31％ to 5.88％),respectively.The pooled rates of PI major mutation,PI secondary mutations,NRTI mutations and NNRTI mutations were 0.55％ (95％ CI 0.38％ to 0.80％),1.31％ (95％ CI 0.98％ to 1.75％),0.85％ (95％ CI 0.51％ to 1.40％),1.19％ (95％ CI 0.70％ to 2.01％),0.79％ (95％ CI 0.55％ to 1.13％),1.73％ (95％ CI 1.21％ to 2.46％),0.86％ (95％ CI 0.61％ to 1.21％),2.24％ (95％ CI 1.77％ to 2.83％),respectively.Sample size,region,and race were heterogeneous sources;the rate of resistance mutations and gene mutation rate were different in different subgroups.Conclusion:The prevalence of primary drug resistance among MSM was high in Americas and Europe,and it was gradually increased in Asia.We should pay attention to the high incidence of PI secondary mutations.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the immune-protective effect of Japan Schistosoma (Chinese mainland strain) 23 kD membrane protein-heat shock protein (SjC23-Hsp70) DNA vaccine plus adjuvantinduced interleukin-12 (IL-12) plasmid DNA on Schistosoma japonicum infection in water buffalos. METHODS: Forty-five health water buffalos (8-10 months old) in non-endemic area of schistosomiasis were randomly assigned into group A (SjC23-Hsp70+IL-12, 300 μg), group B (SjC23+IL-12, 300 μg) and group C (pVAX+IL-12, 300 μg), 15 in each group. Each buffalo was immuned by shoulder intramuscular injection for 3 times, at an interval of 28 days. Twenty-eight days after the last immunization, each buffalo was infected with 1000 Japan cercariae of Schistosoma. Fecal examinations were conducted 2 days and 1 day before the perfusion, and on the day of perfusion. The number of hatching miracidia and eggs per gram feces was recorded. Fifty-six days after the infection, the buffalos were sacrificed and perfused via the descending aorta. The recovered adult worms and eggs in the liver tissue were counted. RESULTS: We compared group A and B with group C: the estrogen reduction rate was 45.7% and 26.61%; bug reduction rate was 44.51% and 25.84%; the fecal egg reduction rate was 41.1% and 31.63%; the miracidium reduction rate was 48.11% and 38.07%; and the liver egg reduction rate was 43.39% and 31.95%. The above rates in group A were higher than those in group B (P<0.05). CONCLUSION SjC23-Hsp70 DNA vaccine combined with IL-12 may have a significant immunoprotective effect on buffalos.

OBJECTIVE: To translate the English version of the assessment of chronic illness care (ACIC) to Chinese, to conduct a trial in Hunan province and to develop a Chinese version ACIC. METHODS: According to the WHO rules, we translated the English version of the ACIC to Chinese and took the culture factor into account. Three hundred and ninety persons, who engaged in the work of chronic disease management in primary medical and health services in Hunan province, were enrolled for this study. One hundred and eighty three valid questionnaires were randomly selected. Six methods including discrete tendency method, good-poor analysis, correlation analysis, stepwise regression analysis, Cronbach's alpha coefficient and factor analysis were used for evaluation the questionnaire items. RESULTS: The items in Chinese version ACIC showed as follows: 1) good sensitivity. The standard deviation of each item was more than 2 and the P value from the t test between the good and poor group was less than 0.001; 2) good representation. The correlation coefficients range of each item with the total score and each dimension score was 0.588-0.916; 3) high internal consistency. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the total scale was 0.975, and for each dimension range was 0.854-0.936; 4) independent. Factor loadings were greater than 0.40 entries, and factor loadings ranged from 0.487-0.798; 5) importance. Stepwise regression analysis α(in)=0.01, α(out)=0.05) showed 34 items were kept in the equation. CONCLUSION Items of Chinese version ACIC retains ACIC 7 dimensions of 34 items in the original English version, which are sensitivity and typical with the internal consistency, independence and importance.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for hemorrhagic transformation(HT)of different subtypes of acute cerebral infarction in elderly patients.Methods A total of 415 elderly hospitalized patients aged ≥60 years with acute cerebral infarction were selected from a hospital in Changsha from January 2014 to December 2016 for the study.Among them,56 had hemorrhagic transformation(observation group)and 359 had no hemorrhage transformation(control group).The general demographic information,past medical history,physical examination and laboratory indicators,cranial CT/MRI examination,admission treatment and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score on admission were analyzed and compared between two different subtypes.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors for HT of different subtypes of acute cerebral infarction in elderly patients.Results The incidence of HT was 26.61％(29/109)for largeartery atherothrombosis,47.50％ (19/40)for cardiac embolism and 3.12％ (8/257)for small-artery occlusion with a statistically significant differences among the three subtypes (x2 =77.923,P =0.000).The incidence of HT was 0％ (0/7)for unknown type,and 0％ (0/2)for other types.Multivariate logistic regression showed that female was the protective factor(OR =0.171,95％ CI:0.037-0.790),but high level of glycated haemoglobin A1c(HbA1c)and large infarct size were the risk factors(OR =5.949 and 20.619,95 ％CI:1.199-29.509 and 2.869-148.207)for HT due to largeartery atherothrombosis.A high score of NIHSS and high level of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9)were the risk factors for HT due to cardioembolism(OR =20.254 and 91.200,95％CI:1.605-255.625 and 4.044-2056.710,respectively).A high level of homocysteine(Hcy) and large infarct size were the risk factors for HT due to small-artery occlusion(OR =10.231 and 15.251,95 ％ CI:1.202-87.108 and 3.371-68.995,respectively).Conclusions The incidence of HT due to cardioembolism is the highest.Influencing factors for HT due to different subtypes of acute cerebral infarction are different in the elderly.It is important for clinicians to know that gender,HbA1c levels and infarct size are associated with HT due to large-artery atherothrombosis,NIHSS score on admission and MMP-9 concentration associated with HT due to cardioembolism,and Hcy level and infarct size associated with HT due to small-artery occlusion.
