Objective To explore the role of viral infection in the development of drug eruption in patients with HIV infection, and to evaluate the efficacy of antiviral treatment. Methods This study enrolled 87 HIV-positive patients, including 11 with and 76 without drug eruption, all of whom received highly active antiretroviral therapy(HAART). Clinical data on, baseline CD4+ and CD8+ T cell counts and CD4/CD8 ratio in these subjects were retrospectively analyzed. Results The severity of drug eruption was mild in the 11 HIV-positive patients, with a mean latency period of (14.00 ± 8.10)(range, 8 - 34)days. Of the 11 patients with drug eruption, 7 had liver function impairment, which was not in accordance with the severity of skin lesions. Drug eruption was controlled in all the 11 patients after anti-anaphylactic treatment without withdrawal of antiviral drugs. Compared with 75 HIV-positive patients without drug eruption, the 11 HIV-positive patients with drug eruption showed significantly increased baseline CD4 + T cell counts (493.00 ± 245.68 (range, 42 - 810)/μl vs. 347.81 ± 167.00 (range, 11 - 814)/μl, t = 647.50, P < 0.05), but decreased proportion of patients with baseline CD4+ T cell counts below the lower limit of normal(3/11 vs. 48/75(64.00%), X2 = 3.95, P < 0.05). There were no significant differences between 10 patients with drug eruption and 69 patients without drug eruption in the baseline CD8+ T cell count(1472.30 ± 858.55/μl vs. 1356.59 ± 684.06/μl, P > 0.05), CD4/CD8 ratio(0.40 ± 0.27 vs. 0.29 ± 0.16, P > 0.05), or percentage of patients with a CD4/CD8 ratio below the lower limit of normal (9/10 vs. 68/69 (98.55%), P >0.05). Conclusions The latency period of drug eruption seems to be long in HIV-positive patients receiving HAART, and mild drug eruption can be complicated by liver function impairment in the patients. Relatively high CD4 + counts may be a risk factor for the development and aggravation of drug eruption in HIV-positive patients.

Objective To investigate the function characteristics of CD4 T cell converted double negative T cell and provide a basis for further insight into the characteristics of mouse converted double negative T cell.Methods The gene expression profile was analyzed by transcriptome sequencing and protein mass spectrometry.The expression of cell active marker CD44,CD69 and OX40 was investigated by flow cytometry and the cytotoxicity of mouse double negative T cell was verified by CFSE staining.Results Mouse CD4 T cell converted double negative T cell expressed cell phenotype that differed from other mature CI4 T cells.Mouse converted double negative T cell expressed high level of active marker of CD44,CD69 and OX40.Cytotoxicity of PrfO DN T was significantly reduced.Conclusions Mouse CD4 T cell converted double negative T cell has distinguishing cell phenotypes,that are not identical to other mature CD4 T cells.Mouse double negative T cell overexpresses cell activation marker and cytotoxic cytokines.The immune suppressive function of mouse double negative T cell is mainly dependent on perforin pathway.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of erlotinib combined with concurrent whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) in the treatment of multiple brain metastases from lung adenocarcinoma,and to provide objective evidence for improving the prognosis of patients.Methods Eighty-nine patients with brain metastases from epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant lung adenocareinoma who were admitted to our hospital were divided into experimental group (n =45) and control group (n=44) according to the different treatment methods.The experimental group received erlotinib combined with concurrent WBRT.The control group received oral administration of erlotinib alone for 28 d and then received concurrent WBRT.The survival rates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and analyzed using the log-rank test.The other data were analyzed by the chi-square test.Results The objective response rate was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group (78％ vs.55％,P=0.000).The median progression-free survival (PFS) time in the experimental group and the control group were 9.1 months (95％ confidence interval [CI]:5.18-12.47) and 5.6 months (95％CI:3.46-9.12),respectively (P=0.078).The median overall survival (OS) time in the experimental group and the controlgroup were 14.3 months (95％CI:9.51-17.82) and 9.7 months (95％CI:4.59-16.74),respectively (P=0.032).The incidence rates of headache and dizziness were significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group (38％ vs.14％,P=0.029;33％ vs.9％,P=0.020).Conclusions In the treatment of multiple brain metastases from EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma,erlotinib combined with concurrent WBRT is superior to erlotinib alone.The combination therapy increases PFS and OS time of the nervous system in patients.

Objective : To study root morphology, the incidence of three root canals and the root canal anatomy of maxillary premolars. Methods: The cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data of 779 maxillary first premolars and 728 maxillary second premolars were collected from 412 patients in Zhuhai Stomatological Hospital. The root and canal morphology, incidence of three canals, bilateral symmetry and location of root canal bifurcation were analyzed. Results : The incidence of three canals in the maxillary first premolars was 1.8% and that in the maxillary second premolars was 0.3%. The incidence of three canals in the maxillary first premolars was significantly higher than that in the maxillary second premolars (c2=8.304, P=0.004). The symmetrical ratio of the three-canal maxillary first premolar was 27.3%. There was no symmetrical three-canal maxillary second premolar. The anatomical morphology of the maxillary premolar can be single root, double root or trident root. Its internal root canal system is complex and diverse. There are seven kinds of Vertucci morphology: the first maxillary premolar is mainly Vertucci IV type, and the second maxillary premolar is mainly Vertucci I type. Most of the root canal bifurcations of the three-canal maxillary premolars were observed in the midthird or the cervical third of the root. All three-canal maxillary premolars had three independent apical foramens. Conclusion The root canal morphology of maxillary premolars is complex and changeable. CBCT plays an important role in the discovery of variation and extra root canals.

Objective To explore the effect of lymphocytes on the innate immune cells in Rag1 and Rag2/IL2rγ gene knockout mice after hepatic ischemia and reperfusion injury (HIRI).Methods C57BL/6 mice (n =10),Rag1 knockout mice (n =10) and Rag2/IL2rγ knockout mice (n =10) were respectively divided into sham group and hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury group by simple randomization,5 mice in each group.By using the model of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice,changes of intrahepatic immune cells were detected by flow cytometry.Hepatic ischemia and reperfusion injury and changes of intrahepatic cell subsets were observed in immune system-deficient mice,both Rag1 and Rag2/IL2rγ knockout.Measurement data were expressed as ((x) ±s),and analyzed using independent samples t test.Results Flow cytometry results showed that immune cells,including NK cells,NKT cells,CD4+T cells,DNT cells,Kupffer cells,BMMs and neutrophils were increased after HIRI.Compared with sham group,Rag1 knockout mice displayed markedly increased proportion of Kupffer cells,BMMs and neutrophils after HIRI.And decreased serum ALT levels [from (1 776.25 ± 219.37) U/L to (932.33 ±58.77) U/L,P=0.003,t =7.350] and less hepatocellular necrosis were exhibited in Rag1 knockout mice after HIRI,comparing to C57BL/6 HIRI group.In addition,increased neutrophils were still observed in Rag2/IL2rγ knockout mice after HIRI,without increased proportion of Kupffer cells and BMMs.Compared with Rag1 knockout mice,ALT levels were further decreased from (932.33 ± 58.77) U/L to (309.00 ± 163.53) U/L (P=0.002,t =6.182) in Rag2/IL2rγ knockout mice.Conclusion Both Rag1 and Rag2/IL2rγ knockout mice exhibite less liver injury after HIRI comparing with C57BL/6 mice,indicating that T cells and NK cells aggravate the liver injury.Moreover,T cells do not affect the recruitment of Kupffer cells,BMMs and neutrophils,but regulate the recruitment of NK cells,while NK cells contribute to the activation of Kupffer cells and BMMs,but not neutrophil influx.

Objective: To improve the diagnostic quality of hepatolenticular degeneration by summarizing the clinicopathological features. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 21 cases that were diagnosed as hepatolenticular degeneration with liver biopsy in our hospital from January 2013 to August 2018 was reviewed, and then their clinicopathologic features were analyzed. The pathomorphological differences between liver biopsy and liver biopsy after transplantation, and the relationship between histopathological patterns and biopsy types and clinical indicators were analyzed by Fisher's exact test. Results: Of the 21 patients with hepatolenticular degeneration, 10 patients had liver biopsy, and 11 patients underwent liver biopsy after liver transplantation. Among them, four cases were presented as simple fatty liver pattern (19.0%, 4/21), eight cases as steatohepatitis pattern (38.1%, 8/21), four cases as inflammatory necrosis without cirrhosis pattern (19.0%, 4/21), and five cases as inflammatory necrosis with cirrhosis pattern (23.9%, 5/21). Twelve cases had copper deposition in the liver (57.1%, 12/21), and the pattern of copper distribution in the liver was uneven. Conclusion A clinicalpathological features of hepatolenticular degeneration mainly manifests in four patterns, but lack characteristic changes. Hence, comprehensive judgment should rely on clinical history, laboratory examination, genetic test results and liver histopathological changes.
