ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility and safety of the spleen-preserving surgery in the treatment of traumatic rupture.Methods47 patients with traumatic rupture were treated with spleen-preserving surgery:the biological glue which local physical bleeding had 7 cases,suture repair had 13 cases,splenic artery ligation had 10 cases,splenic artery ligation and splenic repair had 9 cases,partial splenectomy had 8 cases.Results47 patients had four cases of infection,and cured after dressing,1 case had postoperative bleeding symptoms and used splenectomy surgery.46 patients with spleen-preserving operation is successful,the average length of stay was 15 days,there is no deaths.After 6 months,all patients used abdominal B-utrasoundor CT scans to confirm the survival of spleen is good and indicator of the examination is normal.Follow-up of these patients had no dangerous infections and complications.ConclusionSpleen-preserving surgery in the treatment of traumatic rupture was safe,feasible,could retain the greatest degree of function,and could be used in clinical practice.

Besides 36 (28 single-tablets and 8 fixed-dose combinations) used antiretroviral drugs clinically, there are a number of investigational antiretroviral agents currently in phase 2-3 clinical trial. Tenofoviralafenamidefumarate (TAF) is a novel nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitor that is potent and less toxicity than tenofovir (TDF). Doravirine is a non-nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitor that demonstrates activity against NNRTI-resistant viral strains. GSK744 is an integrase inhibitor with a long acting preparation. In addition, several drugs with new mechanisms are also noted, for example, BMS-663 068 is a small molecule CD4 attachment inhibitors and cenicriviroc is a novel CCR5/CCR2 antagonist with antiretroviral activity and anti-inflammatory effects. Several drug classes that target known pathways in HIV latency have being developed, and leading the list are histone deacetylase inhibitors. Other agents include protein kinase C activators, positive transcription elongation factor activators, DNA methyl-transferase inhibitors and histone methyl-transferase inhibitors and so on. This review is focused on the above-mentioned drug candidates that may be used in clinical in next couple of years and those compounds that can reverse latent HIV infections.

In the last decade, next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, which is characterized by being high-throughput, rapid, sensitive, and accurate, has developed rapidly. Main components of NGS are platforms: 454 sequencing; illumina sequencing; ion torrent sequencing; SOLID sequencing. NGS is used widely for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1. In this review, we focus on applications of the dynamics of HIV-1 quasispecies.

Objective To study the value of imaging characters in diagnosing mediastinal tumors.Methods X-ray and CT findings of pathologically proved mediastinal tumors in 58 cases were analysed,the findings enabling qualitative diagnosis were recommended. Results There were 40 cases of anterior mediastinal tumors including intrathoracic thyroid tumors [n=32,5 tyroid carcinomas and 1 thyroid cyst ,thymomas (n=3) and teratomas (n=5, 3 cases ruptured)]. All the other 18 cases in posterior mediastinum were neurogenic tumors.Conclusion Based on the combination of the mediastinal compartment knowledge, X-ray and CT findings of the tumors and the clinical information, the qualitative diagnosis of mediastinal tumors will be characterized correctly.

Objective To study the expression of Livin and its relationship with Caspase-3, FHIT in skin squamous cell carcinoma. Methods lmmunohistochemical assay was used to detect the expression of Livin, Caspase-3 and FHIT in 48 cases of sSCC, 20 cases of chronic ulcer and 12 cases of normal skin tissues. Results The rate of positive expression of Livin in SCC tissues was significantly higher than that in the chronic ulcer tissues and normal skin tissues (P <0.01). The rate of positive expression of Caspase-3 and FHIT in SCC tissues was significantly lower than that in the chronic ulcer tissues and normal skin tissues (P < 0.01).The expression of Livin and Caspase-3 had relationship with the lymphatic metastasis and histologic differentiation of SCC(P <0.05). The expression of Livin and Caspase-3 had not relationship with age, sex, the sizes of SCC (P >0.05). There was negative significant correlation between the expression of Livin and the expression of Caspase-3, FHIT. Conclusion There may be relationship between the abnormal expression of Livin and Caspase-3, FHIT and the occurrence, progression of skin squamous cell carcinomas. They may become a new method for preservation and treatment skin of squamous cell carcinomas.

Objective:To investigate the influences of laparoscopic surgery on Th1/Th2 balance in patients with uterine myomas.Methods:In a prospective study,the number of the Th subsets,Th1/Th2 ratio,the serum level of IL-18 and IL-10 in 20 patients submitted to laparoscopic operation and 20 patients undergoing conventional open operation were evaluated preoperatively as well as 2,24,48 h postoperatively.Results:The level of Th1 cell,IL-18,and the Th1/Th2 ratio decreased significantly (laparoscopic group: P
