1.Pathophysiology and treatment of persistent pulmonary hypertension of newborn infants
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2014;29(14):1041-1043
Persistent pulmonary hvpertension of newborn(PPHN) is a life-threatening condition which occurs at a rate of 2/1 000-6/1 000.The etiology of PPHN is still unknown and its treatment remains a major challenge for neonatologist.Impaired pulmonary artery relaxation,reduced blood vessel density and pulmonary vascular remodeling are the main pathological changes in PPHN.The general managements include mechanical ventilation,sedation,surfactant and hemodynamic support.Inhaled nitric oxide is the main vasorelaxant used in the treatment of PPHN.Several other vasorelaxants have been studied such as phosphodiesterase inhibitors,prostacyclin,endothelin-1 inhibitors.Even with the introduction of several new therapeutic modalities there has been no significant change in survival rate.

ObjectiveTo investigate the distribution of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1)subtypes and the relationship with transmission routes in Shenzhen city. MethodsThe epidemiological survey was conducted in 429 subjects with HIV-1 infection.Vein blood was collected and prepared with anticoagulation.Thereafter,the viral nucleic acid was extracted and subsequently amplified for HIV-1 env,gag genes by reverse transcription nested polymerase chain reaction. The viral sequences were analyzed using Mega software and compared with those in HIV database. The HIV-1 subtypes were confirmed and evolutionary tree was established. The gene discrete rate of different subtypes was calculated.ResultsFour hundred qualified samples were identified as CRF01_AE (n=207),CRF07_BC (n=115),CRF08 _BC (n=14),CRF02_AG (n=1),B (n=49) and C(n=14),respectively.CRF01_AE was the predominant subtype that was detected in the subjects with different transmission routes,such as homosexual contact,heterosexual contact,intravenous drug use and hospital-acquired infection. Among these,sexual contact was the most common route.There were nine cases infected with subtype B HIV-1 in 10 case who were blood borne. The gene discrete rate was more significant in subtype B HIV-1 compared to the other subtypes.According to the evolutionary tree analysis,the viruses under the same subtype formed the relatively independent clusters by different transmission routes. But some overlaps were observed as well. Conclusions Tbere are many HIV-1subtypes in HIV-1 infected subjects in Shenzhen, while the recombinant viruses present as the predominant form.Transmission routes are various with sexual contact as the most common route.Every subset distributes unevenly and forms its own characteristic.Overlap can be observed among the gene distribution of different HIV-1 subtypes.
