The tapeworm Taenia solium is an important human zoonotic parasite that causes great economic loss and also endangers public health. At present, an effective vaccine that will prevent infection and chemotherapy without any side effect remains to be developed. In this study, codon usage patterns in the T. solium genome were examined through 8,484 protein-coding genes. Neutrality analysis showed that T. solium had a narrow GC distribution, and a significant correlation was observed between GC12 and GC3. Examination of an NC (ENC vs GC3s)-plot showed a few genes on or close to the expected curve, but the majority of points with low-ENC (the effective number of codons) values were detected below the expected curve, suggesting that mutational bias plays a major role in shaping codon usage. The Parity Rule 2 plot (PR2) analysis showed that GC and AT were not used proportionally. We also identified 26 optimal codons in the T. solium genome, all of which ended with either a G or C residue. These optimal codons in the T. solium genome are likely consistent with tRNAs that are highly expressed in the cell, suggesting that mutational and translational selection forces are probably driving factors of codon usage bias in the T. solium genome.

Objective:To explore the HIV-1 drug resistance in patients with HIV/AIDS in Guilin city following the failure of antiretroviral treatment (ART).Methods:Plasma samples were collected from patients in Guilin who had received ART for more than 1 year and had a HIV viral load greater than or equal to 1 000 copies/ml from January 2019 to December 2023, and demographic information was also collected for HIV-1 genotype subtype analysis and drug resistance testing to determine the resistance mutation loci and the susceptibility of the strains to drugs.Results:A total of 766 patient samples with failed ART collection and successful amplification were collected, of which 536 (69.97%, 536/766) were male, with an average age of 53 years; a total of 8 HIV-1 subtypes were detected, with CRF01_AE (80.55%, 617/766), CRF07_BC (11.10%, 85/766) and CRF08_BC (6.92%, 53/766) predominated. The drug resistance analysis showed that the HIV-1 drug resistance rate was 34.86% (267/766), including nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) and protease inhibitor (PI), with dual resistance to NRTIs/NNRTIs (48.31%, 129/267) and NNRTIs resistance (43.07%, 115/267) predominantly. A total of 37 resistance mutation sites were detected, 14 NRTIs-associated mutation sites mainly included M184V/I (47.57%, 127/267), K65R (18.73%, 50/267), K70E/N/T/G/R (13.11%, 35/267), etc., and 18 NNRTIs-associated mutation sites mainly included K103 N/R (56.93%, 152/267), V179 D/E/T (21.72%, 58/267), G190C/S/Q (17.23%, 46/267), and V106I/M (16.85%, 45/267), etc.; and 5 PIs-associated mutation sites was the highest with L10V/I mutation rate (3.00%, 8/267).Conclusions:HIV/AIDS patients in Guilin have shown favorable outcomes in antiviral therapy, with a relatively low overall incidence of drug resistance. However, it is essential to enhance surveillance to reduce the spread of drug-resistant strains in the future.

BACKGROUND:Medical hydrogels are new functional polymer materials with three-dimensional structural networks and excellent biocompatibility,which have been widely studied in the field of tissue engineering and drug carriers,but the research on the combination of medical hydrogels and Chinese medicine for the treatment of diseases based on tissue engineering is still in the early exploration stage.Therefore,through the analysis of the mechanism of the role of medical hydrogels,the integration of medical hydrogels and Chinese medicine in the research of the joint application of the article,can better provide ideas for scientific researchers,and the joint application of Chinese medicine and medical hydrogels is of great significance. OBJECTIVE:To explore the strategy and significance of Chinese medicine combined with medical hydrogel for disease treatment based on tissue engineering research. METHODS:PubMed and CNKI were used to retrieve articles about the application of Chinese medicine combined with medical hydrogel in tissue engineering from January 2010 to November 2022,with the Chinese and English search terms"hydrogel,traditional Chinese medicine,drug carrier,tissue engineering".After the initial screening of all articles according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,the 61 articles with high relevance were retained for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Although the application of Chinese medicine combined with medical hydrogel is involved in intra-articular,intra-tissue organ,soft tissue wounds,tissue engineering,etc.,except for the clinical application of Chinese medicine combined with hydrogel dressing for soft tissue injury,other aspects are still in the experimental stage.(2)The development of Chinese medicine combined with medical hydrogel has great potential and development prospects,but there is a certain difficulty in the manufacture of the gel with high-performance requirements,and it is difficult to master the physical and chemical properties precisely.(3)At present,the comprehensive view of injectable hydrogel with the characteristics of easy to use,its joint use of Chinese medicine can be extended to a wider range,can be used for joint,organ,tissue engineering-related disease treatment.Smart hydrogel has high sensitivity and reversible transformation can also meet the use of the special environment.During the combined use of Chinese medicine,it also needs to understand the mechanism of action of Chinese medicine components.(4)The strategy of combining Chinese medicine with medical hydrogels for disease treatment should start with matching the therapeutic effects of Chinese medicine on organs,tissues and cells combined with appropriate types of medical hydrogels to make up for the shortcomings of traditional Chinese medicine delivery methods and frequent drug delivery.In tissue engineering,hydrogels can be loaded with stem cells after Chinese medicine intervention,or with both Chinese medicine and stem cells for disease treatment.(5)In future research of combined Chinese medicine and medical hydrogel application,we also need to consider:we should ensure that the biological properties of medical hydrogel can be quantified,and grasp the characteristics of hydrogel with different manufacturing processes of different materials to produce the required medical hydrogel that meets the application conditions.In Chinese medicine,we need to comprehensively understand and analyze the therapeutic effects and application mechanisms of known Chinese medicine monomer and Chinese medicine compound extracts,so as to achieve a more perfect combination between Chinese medicine and medical hydrogel under a more clear mechanism.With the continuous improvement of medical science and technology innovation,the medical hydrogel can be innovatively combined with other traditional treatment methods of Chinese medicine,such as acupuncture,massage,cupping and so on,to be used from multiple angles.
