AIDS is a serious threat to human health and has become a global public health problem. Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) can effectively reduce AIDS mortality rate, but has limitations in improving the patient's symptoms and improve quality of life. The literatures about the therapeutic effect of acupuncture and moxibustion on HIV/AIDS were reviewed. The symptoms of HIV/AIDS and the procedures of treatments were analyzed. The acupuncture intervention on HIV/AIDS was investigated. It showed that the acupuncture intervention may markedly improve the condition of HIV/AIDS. From a clinical point of view, we discussed the acupuncture treatment of AIDS-related symptoms, effectiveness and safety evaluation. It may contribute to build a comprehensive treatment system in which acupuncture is dominated for HIV/AIDS.

The disease course of children with persistent or chronic diarrhea lasts from two weeks to two months or over. Diarrhea is a clinical syndrome caused by a group of multiple etiologies. This paper reviews common causes of persistent or chronic diarrhea in children, including intestinal infections, nonspecific inflammatory bowel diseases, food allergy, lactose intolerance, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, neural regulation abnormality, immunodeficiency disease, malnutrition, Celiac disease and zinc deficiency.

This paper describes the first case of common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) and AA amyloidosis. A recently treated tuberculosis, and chronic inflammation induced by frequent respiratory tract infections, were thought to be responsible for the amyloidosis. No other reason for this condition could be detected. Although T cell dysfunction in some CVID patients has been reported, pulmonary tuberculosis is quite rare with this condition. Bacterial or viral agents or evidence in favour of intestinal tuberculosis, which would explain this patient's recurrent diarrhea, were not found. In this case, the response of the attacks of diarrhea to metranidazole and the histologic observation of extensive intestinal amyloid deposition, which is known to decrease intestinal motility, made us conclude that the diarrhea was associated with bacterial overgrowth. In this report, we discuss the association of CVID and tuberculosis to secondary amyloidosis and recurrent diarrhea.

Gastrointestinal complications of diabetes mellitus include diarrhea, constipation, small bowel bacterial overgrowth, and gastropathy. Diabetic gastropathy is well-described motility disorder probably caused by an automatic neuropathy of the upper gastrointestinal tract. Diabetic gastropathy is rarely discrbed in pregnant women. We have experienced two cases of diabetic gastropathy in pregnant diabetic women. We report these cases with a review of literatures.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the etiologic value of diarrheagenic E. coil harboring genomic O island 28(OI-28) containing five putative virulence genes (Z0608, Z0609, Z0615, Z0634 and Z0635), which were related to RTX (Repeat in toxin) toxin family isolated from children with diarrheal disease in Taiyuan.
METHODSIn the study, 257 fecal samples from children with diarrheal disease collected in Shanxi Children's Hospital. Diarrheagenic E. coli and enteropathogenic bacteria were isolated and identified by conventional bacterial culture and typing specific diarrheagenic E. coli (EPEC, EIEC, ETEC and EHEC) diagnostic serum, while diarrheagenic E. coli harboring genomic 01-28 containing five putative virulence genes (Z0608, Z0609, Z0615, Z0634 and Z0635) were detected by PCR and DNA southern blot hybridization.
RESULTS206 strains (80.16%) of enteropathogenic bacteria were detected from 257 children with diarrhea disease, containing 149 strains (57.98%) of diarrheagenic E. coli and 57 strains(22.18%) of other entero-pathogenic bacteria. Among 3 strains (2.01%) of EPEC, 2 strains (1.34%) of ETEC, 2 strains (1.34%) EHEC were detected by typing specific serum, while all of the 142 strains (95.30%) isolated were suspected to be diarrheagenic E. coli. 21 strains (14.09%) of diarrheagenic E. coil harboring genomic O1-28 containing five putative virulence genes (Z0608, Z0609, Z0615, Z0634 and Z0635) were detected by polymerase chain reaction and DNA southen blot hybridization, 8 strains (5.37%) of diarrheagenic E. coli containing only one genomic OI-28 virulence gene, 2 strains (1.34%) of diarrheagenic E. coli containing two genomic OI-28 virulence gene. 21 children with diarrhea diseases caused OI-28-harboring E. coli containing five important putative virulence genes were among 0 to 3 years old (80.95%). These children correlating with OI-28-harboring E. coli did not present special clinical symptoms or signs.
CONCLUSIONThe diarrheagenic E. coil harboring genomic OI-28 was one of the important etiology for children with diarrheal disease in summer season.
