Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)is a kind of widespread human pathogen in the world. The emergence of HIVs resulted from multiple transmissions and diversification of SIV from nonhuman primates to humans. In this paper, the findings on the transmission of immunodeficiency virus from Chimpanzees to humans and the adaptive evolution in the new host are reviewed, and the significance for science and public health is discussed.

Objective To report the presentation,clinical course and prognosis of intracranial hypertension (IH) with essential thrombocythemia (ET).Methods Retrospective data analysis was conducted.Seven cases of IH with ET were reviewed between January 2010 and December 2016.The clinical features,and the relationship between IH and ET were analyzed.Results IH complicated with ET was more common among young and middle-aged women.Sub acute or chronic course was more common.IH was easily misdiagnosed as optic neuritis in the early stage.The median platelet count of seven patients was 559 × 109/L.Paroxysmal black haze (four cases) was the most common of the first symptom.The head MRI showed empty sella in six cases.CT venography/DSA showed venous sinus thrombosis in three cases.All the patients were given intracranial pressure lowering and other symptomatic treatment.Five cases were treated with anti ET.Results showed remission in six cases and death in one case.Conclusions In the early stage IH was often misdiagnosed.Female was more common than male in IH with ET.Dural sinus blockage was common.In addition to symptomatic treatment such as lowering intracranial pressure,the patients should also be treated with anti ET.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical features of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) in China. MethodsThe reported articles about clinical analysis of patients with PBC in China were searched. The quality of included studies was critically evaluated. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 4.2 software about controlled trials. Results① Ninety-one literatures including 2315 patients wuth PBC were included. ②The common symptoms in PBC were fatigue (54.54％). AMA was found in 74.1％～100％ of patients with PBC, as well as the prevalence rate of anti-M2 range from 45％ to 83％. ANA antibodies present in 20％～83.78％ of patients, the most common antinuclear patterns were nuclear-envelope(38.65％).Increased levels of IgM [(2.8±0.7)～(7.3±5.1) g/L], IgG [(16.5±4.9)～(20.5±5.9) g/L] were found in these patients, and the most common liver histologic classification was type Ⅱ (36.6％). Sjogren's syndrome occured significantly more frequently in PBC (1.96％～34.61％). To the end of follow-up period (five months to nintysix months ), 3.80％ of patients were dead. ③ Meta-analysis performed in several case control studies, showed no significant differences was found in liver tests including of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotrans ferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBil), or gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), IgG levels between AMA positive groups and AMA negative groups. However, lower levels of IgM presented in the latter. While it also showed that levels of ALP decreased after ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA)therapy. The levels of TBil were lower in the elderly than in younger group, but the mortality ratio for liver diseases was higher in the former. ConclusionThe clinical characteristics of the present series in China are mostly similar to those reported in other countries. Because of the low quality and the small number of included studies, larger sample-size, randomized, double-blinded controlled trials are needed.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the status and papers information of Chinese Journal of Applied Physiology, and provide a guide for authors, readers and editing staffs.

METHODSWe retrieved papers of Chinese Journal of Applied Physiology from 2009 to 2013 from CNKI, and performed a statistical analysis of papers information contained in the text using bibliometrics method. Papers information such as document type, found support, author affiliation type, and discipline classification, etc. was analyzed.

RESULTSSeven hundred and forty two papers including 27 full English articles in total were published in Chinese Journal of Applied Physiology from 2009 to 2013. More papers were supported by national, provincial, and the other foundation, it was about 82.6% of all papers.

CONCLUSIONChinese Journal of Applied Physiology has stable manuscript resources, various discipline papers, and play an important role for development of applied physiology in China.

In this study, the implementation methods for the several functions are explored on RayStation 4.0 Platform. Those functions are passing the information such as ROI names to a plan prescription Word file. passing the file to RayStation for plan evaluation; passing the evaluation result to form an evaluated report file. The result shows the RayStation scripts can exchange data with Word, as well as control the running of Word and the content of a Word file. Consequently, it's feasible for scripts to inactive with third party softwares upgrade the performance of RayStation itself.
