Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmitted drug resistance (TDR) means the infection of HIV drug-resistant strains, which are detected in patients without a history of exposure to antiretroviral (ARV) drugs. TDR has the potential to reverse the effectiveness of first-line antiretroviral therapy, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), and is the practical major threat to the realization of the targets for HIV prevention and control. The changes in fitness of HIV DR strains are the basic biological factor challenging the risk of its transmission, and related to the selection of the survey population, the determination of the time span between diagnosis of HIV infection and testing of DR, and the application of DR test assay. The integrated definition and interpretation of surveillance drug resistance mutations (SDRMs) is the key to obtaining accurate surveillance results. This article reviews the recent progress in research on the fitness of HIV DR strains, identification of SDRMs, and the selection of surveillance population. It also proposes key areas for TDR monitoring in China, including the development of SDRMs list tailored to the characteristics of Chinese strains, high-resolution sequencing to accurately identify mixed base pairs, and the standardization of TDR monitoring. These efforts will provide scientific support for accurate TDR monitoring results and effective containment of the transmission of drug-resistant strains.

[Objective]To evaluated the clinical results of the ulnar osteotomy and external fixation for the treatment of chronic anterior dislocation of head of the radius in children.[Method]From 2002 to 2004,thirteen cases of children with chronic anterior dislocation of the radial head were treated by ulnar osteotomy,external fixation and close or open reduction of elbow joint but without repair of the annular ligament. Their mean age was 5.5 years(2 to 11) and the mean interval between the injury and reconstruction was 19 months(2 months to 3 years).[Result]All radial heads remained reduced at a mean follow-up of 14 months(2 months to 3 years).Normal ranges of movement for flexion,extension,pronation and supination were improved or unchanged in 12 patients.One patient had further decreased in 10? for supination.There were one superficial pin-track infections but with no serious complication.[Conclusion]Angular ulnar osteotomy and external fixation of the ulna can lead to stable reduction of the radial head with minimal complications.Reconstruction of the annular ligament is not necessary if satisfactory re-orientation of the ulnar is achieved in all planes.

Analysis of setbacks found in the existing system and mechanism of public hospitals. Based on the health reform principles of Separation of administration and management, Separation of administration and operation, Separation of prescribing and dispensing, and Separation of for-profit hospitals and nonprofit hospitals, the authors named the following roadmap for public hospital governance reform. First, set up a management committee for each public hospital to coordinate the government function for medical service; set up a public hospital authority to upgrade the management level of these hospitals; transform functionality of health authorities to encourage diversity in medical service providers. Second, establish the tiered decision making mechanism, autonomous operation system and diversified supervision system, to separate administration and management. Third, formulate articles of association for hospitals to encourage their evolution to legal entities, consolidating the government reforms by legal means.

Objective To evaluate the murine model of dry eye induced by hyperosmolar saline. Methods Sixty female BALB/c mice at the age of 6 -8 weeks were randomly divided into blank group,control group and experimental group,20 in each group. Mice in control and experimental groups were treated with 308 mOsmol/L and 500 mOsmol/L sodium chloride solution,respectively,5 times a day. Mice in blank group were not treated with sodium chloride solution. Schirmer test,fluorescein staining,corneal scoring,rose bengal staining,tear ferns experiment,corneal epithelial HE staining and thickness measurement,conjunctival epithelial PAS staining and Goblet cell counting were conducted on days 0,7,14,28,and 42,respectively. Corneal surface was observed by scanning electron microscopy on day 42. Results No significant difference was found in the above parameters on day 0 between the two groups. On day 7,the volume of tears was significantly smaller in experimental group ( 2. 3 ? 0. 4 mm) than in blank group ( 3. 0 ? 0. 5mm) and control group ( 3. 1 ?0. 5 mm) ( P

Objective Pulmonary benign metastasizing leiomyoma (PBML) is a rare entity that leiomyoma of uterus metastasized to the lung.The clinical characteristics of this rare disease were analyzed in this article.Methods The detailed clinical records of 7 patients diagnosed as PBML at Peking Union Medical College Hospital between January 2001 and June 2015 were reviewed.Results All patients were women with median age of 44 years (range 28-62).Symptoms included dyspnea (2/7),chest pain (1/7),cyanosis (1/7),cough (1/7) and bloody sputum (1/7),while 4/7 cases were asymptomatic.Six patients had the past-history of leiomyoma of uterus 20 months to 14 years ago among whom 5 patients received hysterectomy.Chest CT showed bilateral,random-distributed multiple round solid nodules,or diffuse-distributed miliary nodules,or single solid nodule,even some small cavities.Extra-pulmonary metastasis was found in left superclavicular lymph node (1 case) and right heart (1 case).Histological tissues were obtained by video-assisted thoracic surgery lung biopsy (4/7),mass resection on tricuspid valve (1/7),transbronchil lung biopsy (1/7),and CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy (1/7).Pathology showed an interlacing pattern by spindle cells having elongated nuclei without cellular atypia.Ki-67 index was less than 1％.Molecules such as smooth muscle antibody,estrogen receptor (ER) and progestrone receptor (PR) were positive in immunohistochemistry staining.Neither letrozole nor zoladex was effective.Two patients responded to bilateral adnexectomy,presenting as shrunk nodules.No relapsed disease was seen in one patient with single nodule after resection.There was only one patient with disease-related mortality,whose chest CT showed milliary nodules.Conclusion Although CT findings of PBML are similar to malignancies,the clinical outcome is good.Despite the positive expression of ER and PR,the effectiveness of hormone related treatment is limited.And periodical follow up is suggested even to those uneventful patients.

[Objective]To investigate the surgical treatment of recurrent lumbar disc herniation. [Methods]A total of 17 patients with recurrent lumbar disc herniation were grouped into stable,unstable and severe unstable groups according to the dynamic X-ray film. Patients in stable group and unstable group were treated with open-window discectomy, and those of severe unstable group were treated with full laminectomy, decompression, pedicle screw fixation and fusion. JOA and VAS system were used to follow up before and after operation. Statistic analysis was performed between the stable and unstable groups in pain score and recovery rate.[Results]All the patients were followed up for 3 month to 3 years. The average JOA score was 4.94 before operation, and 12.18 at follow-up,with an average recovery rate of 71.74%. There was no statistic difference between stable group and unstable group in recovery rate.[Conclusion]For patients with spinal instability and chief complaint of leg symptom, reoperative treatment for recurrent lumbar disc herniation can be done with open-window discectomy which may offer good outcome.
