Objective To study the application of viral load for differentiating diagnosis of early HIV infection. Methods Thirteen indeterminate specimens, which showed early HIV infection of antibody detection, were selected. Viral load of the specimens were detected. People with suspicious infection were followed up and certified infection status through EIA and Western blot. Results Twelve of 13 indeterminate specimens which indicated early HIV infection, had positive viral loads. One antibody-positive infant was confirmed to have been infected by HIV and 11 recent infected (window period) persons were certified during the follow-up. One antibody-positive infant had negative viral load and was certified noninfected per-son during the follow-up. Viral load testing results accorded with HIV infection status. Conclusion Viral load testing can be used to diagnose HIV early infection, including antibody-positive infants (within 18 months) and recent infected persons. Viral load testing could be diagnostic in determinate specimens during early HIV infection.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the influence of anastomotic leakage (AL) on long-term survival after resection for rectal cancer.
METHODSClinicopathological data of 653 rectal cancer cases confirmed by pathology and undergoing R0 resection for rectal cancer in our department from January 2007 to December 2011 were retrospectively analyzed. Anastomotic leakage was found in 40 cases (AL group) and not in the other 613 cases (non-AL group). After median 47 (1-91) months of follow-up, 5-year disease-free survival rate, distant metastasis rate and local recurrence rate were compared between the two groups. Risk factors affecting long-term prognosis were also analyzed.
RESULTSThe 5-year disease-free survival rate, 5-year distant metastasis rate, and 5-year local recurrence rate were 78.1%, 14.2% and 4.2% in the non-AL group, and 74.5%, 20.1% and 8.4% in the AL group respectively, and the differences were not statistically significant (P=0.808, P=0.965, P=0.309). Multivariate analysis showed that preoperative neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy, TNM staging, abnormal CA199, preoperative low level of albumin were independent prognostic factors of rectal cancer patients after R0 resection, while AL was not an independent factor of 5-year disease-free survival (P=0.910). Further multivariate analysis on 507 cases receiving postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy also revealed that AL was not an independent factor of 5-year disease-free survival (P>0.05). Percentage difference of patients finishing postoperative chemotherapy between the two groups was not statistically significant (79.4% vs. 76.3%, P=0.681).
CONCLUSIONAL is not an independent predictor of long-term survival for rectal cancer.

Objective:To determine the clinical efficacy of selective decongestive devascularization of gastrosplenic (SDD-GSR) and splenectomy combined with pericardial vascularization in the treatment of portal hypertension in cirrhosis.Methods:A total of 134 patients with cirrhosis portal hypertension admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University were enrolled in the study, including 102 males and 32 females, with an average age of 51 years. Of 61 cases of SDD-GSR were included in the SDD-GSR group, and 73 cases of splenectomy combined with pericardial vascularization were included in the control group. Preoperative and postoperative white blood cell count, platelet count, Child-Pugh grade of liver function, free portal pressure (FPP) and postoperation tomplication were analyzed in the two groups. Operation time, intraoperative blood loss, free portal pressure (FPP), Child-Pugh grade of liver function, preoperative and postoperative white blood cell count, platelet count, and postoperative complications were analyzedin the two groups.Results:The operation time and intraoperative blood loss of SDD-GSR group were 165 (110, 198) min and 280 (100, 650) ml, which were lower than those of control group [190 (135, 605) min and 895 (300, 3 500) ml], the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Postoperative FPP of SDD-GSR group and control group was 39 (35, 44) cmH 2O (1 cmH 2O=0.098 kPa) and 38 (34, 44) cmH 2O, respectively, which were lower than those before operation, with statistical significance (both P<0.05). Postoperative platelet count and white blood cell count in SDD-GSR group were lower than those in control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The Child-Pugh grading of recent postoperative liver function in SDD-GSR group was better than that in control group, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). The complication rate (abdominal infection and portal vein thrombosis) of control group was higher than SDD-GSR group. Conclusion:SDD-GSR is better than splenectomy combined with pericardial vascularization since it has less intraoperative bleeding, obvious improvement of liver function and fewer complications, and it may be an effective surgical option for the treatment of portal hypertension of cirrhosis.

surgical and postoperative situations in patients with different TNM staging,BMI and maximum tumor dimension:operation time,dissected times of lymph nodes in upper region of pancreas,cases with visible port vein,number of overall lymph node dissection,numbers of lymph node dissection in upper region of pylorus and upper region of pancreas were respectively (236.0±41.0)minutes,(33.9±6.2) minutes,32,36.0±12.0,3.8±3.0,13.4±5.5 in patients of the anterior approach group with Ⅲ stage of TNM staging and (253.0± 45.0) minutes,(36.5 ±7.0) minutes,29,31.0±t9.0,2.5±2.0,11.4±4.6 in patients of the posterior approach group with Ⅲ stage of TNM staging,with statistically significant differences between groups (t =-1.988,-2.066,x2 =4.686,t =2.472,2.757,2.016,P<0.05).Numbers of overall lymph node dissection and number of lymph node dissection in upper region of pylorus were respectively 37.0± 12.0,3.6±3.1 in patients of the anterior approach group with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 and 30.0±7.0,2.0± 1.3 in patients of the posterior approach group with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2,with statistically significant differences between groups (t =2.211,2.205,P<0.05).Volume of intraoperative blood loss and number of lymph node dissection in upper region of pylorus were respectively (80±45) mL,4.0±2.6 in patients of the anterior approach group with maximum tumor dimension ≥ 3.3 cm and (110±67)mL,2.8± 1.8 in patients of the posterior approach group with maximum tumor dimension ≥ 3.3 cm,with statistically significant differences between groups (t =-2.320,2.589,P < 0.05).(4) Follow-up and survival:of 239 patients,202 were followed up for 2-24 months,with a median time of 12 months,including 89 in the anterior approach group and 113 in the posterior approach group.During the follow-up,cases with overall survival,tumor recurrence and metastasis were respectively 85,3,8 in the anterior approach group and 109,3,11 in the posterior approach group,with no statistically significant difference between groups (x2=0.032,0.089,0.119,P>0.05).Conclusions Both of anterior approach and posterior approach are safe and feasible in LADG,with equivalent short-term efficacies.The anterior approach in LADG has an advantage of the lymph node dissection in the upper region of pylorus compared with posterior approach,and it also is better for patients with later tumor staging,higher BMI and bigger tumor.

patients were in the Clavien-Dindo classification ≥ Ⅲ.(2) Follow-up situations:465 of 506 patients were followed up for 1-32 months with a median time of 12 months.During the follow-up,451 had postoperative survival and 38 had tumor recurrence or metastasis.(3) Risk factors analysis of perioperative complications.① Results of univariate analysis showed that age,body mass index (BMI),preoperative hemoglobin,preoperative serum albumin and XAPD were related factors affecting perioperative complications of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (x2 =10.289,7.427,5.269,5.481,4.285,P< 0.05).② Results of multivariate analysis showed that age,BMI,preoperative serum albumin were independent related factors affecting perioperative complications of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (odds ratio =1.033,1.118,0.937,95% interval confidence:1.011-1.057,1.025-1.219,0.887-0.990,P<0.05).(4) Influence of body shape related indexes on intraoperative situations and postoperative recovery.① Results of Pearson univariate correlation analysis showed correlations between UAPD,XAPD,CAD,CATD and volume of intraoperative blood loss (r=0.107,0.169,0.179,0.106,P<0.05),between UAPD,XAPD,CAD and the number of lymph nodes dissected (r=-0.137,-0.143,-0.173,P<0.05),between USCF,XAPD and time to postoperative anal exsufflation (r =0.122,0.109,P<0.05),between USCF,XAPD,CAD and time for initial fluid diet intake (r=0.132,0.108,0.132,P<0.05),between USCF,XAPD and duration of postoperative hospital stay (r=0.116,0.100,P<0.05).② Results of liner regression model analysis showed a positive correlation between CAD and volume of intraoperative blood loss (r =6.776),a negative correlation between CAD and the number of lymph nodes dissected (r =-0.841),with statistically significant differences (t =2.410,-1.992,P< 0.05);a positive correlation between USCF and time to postoperative anal exsufflation (r=0.170),between USCF and time for initial fluid diet intake (r=0.365),between USCF and duration of postoperative hospital stay (r=0.636) respectively,with statisticallysignificant differences (t =2.188,1.981,2.107,P< 0.05).Conclusions Abdominal shape can influence intraoperative situations and postoperative recovery of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy,but cannot increase risks ofperioperative complications.Age,BMI and preoperative serum albumin are independent related factors affecting perioperative complications of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy.

Objective:To investigate the evaluation value of one-stop whole-brain dynamic volume CT angiography and CT perfusion imaging (CTA-CTP) in the cynomolgus monkeys models of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).Methods:Ten adult cynomolgus monkeys were selected and examined by head and neck CTA-CTP and craniocerebral MRI to rule out craniocerebral space-occupying lesions or cerebrovascular malformation. Under guidance of digital substraction angiography (DSA), the right femoral artery was dissected and monkey autologous thrombosis was injected into the right middle cerebral artery (MCA) through microcatheter to prepare MCAO models. Whole brain DSA was performed intraoperatively to observe whether the model was successfully prepared, and head and neck CTA-CTP was performed 24 h and 7 d after modeling to determine the locations and brain blood flow changes of ischemic lesions. The monkeys were sacrificed 8 d after modeling, and the brain tissues were stained with 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC).Results:Among the 10 cynomolgus monkeys, one was excluded because of preoperative cerebrovascular malformation, and one died of cerebral hernia caused by cerebral hemorrhage during the experiment. The remaining 8 MCAO models were successfully prepared. Intraoperative DSA orthography showed unclear M1 segment and distal branch of MCA. Brain CT scan 24 h and 7 d after modeling showed obvious cerebral ischemic lesions in the right MCA blood supply area, and the infarct extent 7 d after surgery was more obvious than that 24 h after surgery. CTA examination showed obvious blood flow interruption imaging in the in M1 segment of MCA on the right side, the distal vessels were not clearly displayed and the distal branches of the infarct side 7 d after surgery were obvious decreased as compared with those 24 h after surgery. CTP scan showed that the cerebral blood volume of the right cerebrum was obviously reduced as compared with that of the left cerebrum, which was consistent with the blood supply area of MCA; and the infarct cores and penumbra areas 7 d after surgery were obvious increased as compared with those 24 h after surgery. TTC staining showed that the ischemic lesions of the brain tissue on the slices were gray and involved multiple layers, and the range was roughly consistent with the infarction sites shown by DSA and CT imaging.Conclusion:One-stop whole brain dynamic volume CTA-CTP has good evaluation value in imaging findings in MCAO animal models.

Malignant tumors seriously threaten human life and health. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the conventional methods for the clinical treatment of advanced tumors. The prognosis and efficacy are still far from satisfactory due to the radiotherapy has serious adverse effects on the body and the chemotherapy often causes problems such as tumor resistance and cell proliferationinhibition. Therefore, the search for new, safe, and effective anti-tumor drugs and the elucidation of their molecular mechanisms are effective measures for clinical treatment of tumors and improvement of patients' quality of life. Active ingredients derived from Chinese herbal medicines and natural products have gradually become a hot spot in the research and development of anti-tumor drugs due to their multi-target and multi-channel anti-tumor pharmacological activity characteristics and their advantages such as less adverse reaction on the body. Bruceine D is a class of tetracyclic triterpenoids extracted from the fruit of the Chinese herbal medicine Bruceae Fructus, with anti-inflammatory, anti-malarial, anti-parasitic, and other pharmacological activities, and its anti-tumor activity is particularly significant. Pharmacological studies have found that bruceine D can regulate various cellular physiological activities such as proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and migration of lung cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, intestinal cancer, and other cancer cells by targeting different signaling pathways. Bruceine D can be used in combination with other chemotherapeutic drugs to improve the sensitivity of tumor cells to chemotherapeutic drugs, thereby reducing the adverse effect of chemotherapy. Clinical application practice has shown that Bruceae Fructus oil emulsion injection containing bruceine D has significant advantages in the efficacy and safety of tumor treatment. Although there are many studies on the antitumor pharmacological activity of bruceine D and its clinical efficacy is significant, the specific antitumor molecular mechanism of bruceine D is still unclear, and there is a lack of systematic review on the existing antitumor mechanism of bruceine D. Therefore, based on the research on bruceine D in China and abroad in recent years, this paper reviewed the anti-tumor effect and related molecular mechanisms of bruceine D from six aspects, namely, tumor cell proliferation, apoptosis, metastasis and invasion, glucose metabolism process, autophagy, and chemotherapy sensitivity. This paper is expected to provide a pharmacological basis and scientific reference for the antitumor drug development and clinical application of bruceine D.
