Since the introduction of antiretroviral therapy(ART),the lifespan and quality of life of patients infected with HIV have been significantly improved.But treatment efficacy was compromised eventually by the development of resistance to antiretroviral drugs,and more new anti-HIV drugs with lower toxicity and higher activity were needed.Based on the experience and lessons learned from the treatment in the developed countries,US FDA suggested that more pharmacodynamical researches should be considered ahead of the clinical trials.To facilitate the anti-HIV drug research and development,we reviewed a few specialized issues that should be focused on drug evaluations in vitro,including: 1)Mechanism of action studies,demonstrating the candidate drug's efficacy to specifically inhibit viral replication or a virus-specific function and confirm the drug target.2)Drug resistance studies,selecting the drug-resistant variants in vitro and determining the activities inhibiting HIV isolates resistant to approved antiretroviral drugs of the same class.3)Antiviral activity in vitro in the presence of serum proteins,ascertaining whether an investigational product is significantly bound by serum proteins.4)Combination activity analysis,evaluating in vitro antiviral activity of an investigational product in two-drug combinations with other drugs approved.

BACKGROUND:Compared with the titanium with smooth surface, TiO2 nanotubes are more beneficial for the early cel adhesion. OBJECTIVE:To review the research progress of the effect of TiO2 nanotubes on peri-implant cel s. METHODS:A computer-based retrieval of CNKI, CqVip, WanFang and PubMed databases was performed for pertinent literatures published between 1990 to 2016, using the Chinese keywords of“TiO2 nanotubes or titanium dioxide nanotubes and implant”, and English keywords of“TiO2 nanotubes implant, Tio2 nanotubes cel”. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The main factors that TiO2 nanotubes affect the peri-implant cel behaviors include the tubular morphology, size, TiO2 crystal structure, as wel as surface chemical compositions, roughness and hydrophilicity and free energy. The influence factors of TiO2 nanotubes for cel s are not only related to the tube diameter, but also associated with cel types. Different cel types hold different diameters suitable for the cel adhesion, proliferation and differentiation on the material surface. Therefore, it is advisable to select the best nanotube size for different tissues and cel s applied in different biomedical fields.

Screening and diagnosis of early colorectal cancer(CRC)can reduce CRC mortality and improve overall survival. Currently,the major screening methods for early CRC include fecal occult blood test(FOBT)and colonoscopy. FOBT exhibits low sensitivity with high false positive rate,while the gold standard -- colonoscopy is invasive and with low compliance. Therefore,a convenient and effective screening and diagnostic method for early CRC is urgently needed. Plasma SEPT9 gene methylation assay is a new non-invasive screening and diagnostic method for early CRC used clinically in recent years,it exhibits high accuracy,and is convenient for mass screening and diagnosis of early CRC. This article reviewed the research progress and diagnostic value of plasma SEPT9 gene methylation assay for CRC.

Objective To discuss the staging and individualized health education on alleviation of anxiety and depression of fracture patients.Methods 60 fracture patients who showed anxiety and depression symptoms were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group with 30 patients in each group.The experimental group used the special-designed staging and individualized health education plan to intervene the anxiety and depression symptoms of patients.The control group used the routine health education program.The Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA)and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD)were used to assess the patients' anxiety and depression degree before and after intervention.Results HAMA and HAMD score at discharge were lower than on admission in both groups.HAMA and HAMD score at discharge in the experimental group were significantly lower than the control group.Conclusions The systematic,staging and individualized health education program has significant effect on the anxiety and depression symptom of fracture patients.It can effectively alleviate the symptoms of anxiety and depression,satisfy the requirement of patients for health education,stimulate the patients' initiative to coordinate with the treatment,establish the confidence to fight with disease and help patients form a good behavior manner,and promote patients' recovery.

Objective To compare the effect of noninvasive ventilation (nasal continuous positive airway pressure ventilation,-NCPAP) and nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation,-NIPPV) and invasive ventilation (i.e.,mechanical ventilation,CMV) combined with pulmonary surfactant (PS) in the treatment of Ⅰ ～ Ⅲ level in premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS).Methods 81 cases with Ⅰ ～ Ⅲ level in NRDS were selected.40 cases in invasive group was given CMV combined with PS therapy.41 cases in noninvasive group was given noninvasive ventilation combined with PS therapy.The changes of blood gas,cure rate,complications,duration of oxygen therapy,hospitalization expenses and time were compared between the two groups.Results 1 hour after treatment,clinical symptoms were obviously improved in the two groups.6 hours,12 hours,weaning of blood gas analysis of two groups to maintain arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) better and showed an upward trend,arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) was decreased,while the two groups before and after treatment had no significant differences (P ＞ 0.05).The cure rate of noninvasive group was 95.0％,that in invasive group was 92.5 ％,the difference between the two groups was not significant (P ＞ 0.05).Compared with the invasive group,the infection rate of lung,the incidence rate of chronic lung disease in noninvasive group were significantly lower (22.0％ vs 65.0％、14.6％ vs 37.5 ％,x2 =6.243,6.021,all P ＜ 0.01),the duration of oxygen therapy,time of hospitalization in the noninvasive group were significantly shorter (t =3.092,3.070,P ＜ 0.05),and the hospital costs was relatively low (t =3.791,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Noninvasive ventilation combined with PS in the treatment of Ⅰ ～ Ⅲ level NRDS is safe,efficient,relative economic,it is worthy of popularization,especially in primary hospital.

Objective To explore the effect of narrow band imaging on the clinical outcomes of patients with high grade intraepithelial neoplasia in gastric mucosa.MethodsFrom June 2006 to June 2016, 96 patients of gastric high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia were enrolled in the study. All patients were divided into control group and observation group using a random number table method, 48 cases in each. In control group, patients were treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection treatment, while in observation group, patients were treated with narrowband imaging combined with endoscopic submucosal dissection treatment. The operation time, pathological type and occurrence of complications of the two groups were compared.Results The operation time, positive margin rates in observation group were lower than that in control group, while tumor diameter, one en bloc resection rate and curative resection rate was higher, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Pathological type: observation group includes 27 cases of HGIN, 15 cases of focal HGIN and 6 cases of high-moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma;while in control group, including 1 case of LGIN, 33 cases of HGIN, 11 cases of focal HGIN and 3 cases of high-differentiated adenocarcinoma patients, the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Overall incidence of complications in observation group and control group were 6.25% and 22.92% respectively; which shown observation group has significantly lower rate than control group, the difference was statistically.Conclusion Narrow-band imaging combined with endoscopy in the treatment of gastric neoplasia in patients with high-grade intraepithelial lesions can significantly improve the cure rate and complete resection en bloc resection rate, shorten the operation time, reduce the incidence of complications.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of verapamil on the i schemic random skin flaps. MethodsThe dorsal random skin flap s of Wistar rats were raised (length/width=6/1). Verapamil was injected under th e flaps at the dose of 25mg/kg after the operations. Seven days later, the necro sis rate, the content of molondialehyde (MDA) in middle segment and the microsco pic observation were studied.

Objective: To discuss the changes of carotid atherosclerosis and intracranial arterial hemodinamics in patients with essential hypertension. Methods: One hundred and seven patients with essential hypertension were divided into two groups: The simple hypertension group (n = 63) and hypertension complicated by cardio-cerebrovascular diseases group (n = 44). In addition, 53 healthy persons were selected as the control group. The pitents were detected with color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) and transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD), and the results were analyzed retrospectively. Results: The results of TCD examination of intracranial arteries suggested that the end-diastolic blood velocity in the simple hypertension group and hypertension complicated by cardio-cerebrovascular disease group were significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.01); and both the pulsitive index and vascular resistance index were higher than the control group (P < 0.01). The detectable rates of increased carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and plaques in the group of simple hypertension group were 73.02% (46/ 63) and 50.79% (32/63); the detectable rates of increased IMT and plaques in the hypertension complicated by cardio-cerebrovascular disease group were all 100%, and they were significantly higher than those in the control group [20.75% (11/53) and 19.98% (9/53; P < 0.01)]. Conclusion: Essential hypertension is an important risk factor for intracranial arteriosclerosis. CDFI combined with TCD may objectively evaluate the changes of hemodinamics of intracranial and extracranial arteries in patients with essential hypertension.
