Objective To prevent the prevalence of drug resistance viruses,we analyzed drug resistance mutations of HIV-1 among HIV-1 infected individuals in seven provinces of China.Methods We acquired 718 HIV-1 infected patients' treatment and compliance from questionnaires,amplified HIV-1 pol genes by RT-PCR and nest-PCR,sequenced RT and protease regions and run clustal with the subtype B consensus amino acid sequence in Stanford HIV drug resistance sequence database.Results The viral load in treated patients was obviously lower than that in untreated patients(P

Myogenic potentials evoked by air conducted sound (ACS), bone conducted vibration (BCV) or galvanic pulses can be recorded with surface electrodes over contracted muscles. These myogenic potentials are of vestibular origin (utricle and saccule) and so these potentials are called vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs). Since the vestibular system has projections to many muscle systems, there are many such VEMPs. In this review, we discuss the generated origin, response pathway, waveform characteristics and clinical application of ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (oVEMP).

As the development of hospital information systems in the third-tier hospitals of the first grade in China gradually deepens, there has appeared an urgent need to formulate standards for the management of such systems. The paper offers proposals for the structure, composition and main responsibilities of the centers for hospital information management, posts setting and post responsibilities in the centers, the number of allocated personnel in the centers and the number of personnel required for various posts, and management standards and operating procedures in the centers.

Objective To investigate the changes of lithium metabolic balance in normal controls and in patients with type-two diabetes mellitus.Method Lithium was measured by atomic absorbent spectrometry.Results (2 91?0 54)?mol/d of lithium intake (2 37?0 51)?mol/d in urine and (0 28?0 05)?mol/d in stool,(0 27?0 24)?mol/d of lithium equilibrium value(LEV),(2 64?0 51)?mol/d of intestinal lithium absorption value(ILAV),(90 4?18)% of intestinal lithium absorption rate(ILAR) and (81 0?1 5)% of ratio of urine lithium excretion to lithium intake(ULE/LI)in normal controls;as well as (2 24?0 25)?mol/d of lithium in food,(2 15?0 36)?mol/d in urine,(0 35?0 05)?mol/d in stool,(-0 25?0 06)?mol/d of LEV,(1 89?0 33)?mol/d of ILAV,(84 3?2 1)% of ILAR and (95 6?3 2)% RU/I in diabetic patients respectively.Lithium in food and stool,LEV,ILAV and ILAR in diabetes were lower than those in controls (P

Objective To discuss cultivation of higher vocational nursing talents in the model of learning and working rotation during the cooperation of school and hospital. Methods Students were cultivated by two years school study, two years learning and hospital work rotation and one year hospital position practice which was adopted as an "221" mode by means of organizational leadership,agreed safeguard and co-management. Half day learning and half day practice in four learning situation which have been transformed from the real professional workplace. Results Scores of professional core courses and operation skills had been improved significantly; Students cultivated by "221" mode had more superiority on the aspects of post adaptability, hand skills, communication skills and the ability of linking theory to practice. Conclusions The model of learning and working rotation during the cooperation of school and hospital is the important way of cultivating higher vocational nursing talents.

Orthodontics is the procedure of managing the space .Space analysis is a comprehensive quantitative analysis that can analyze the factors that influence the arch space .It also helps to judge if the treatment goals can be reached , thus helping the treat-ment plan making and guiding clinical orthodontics .And space analysis related factors include crowding , curve of Spee, arch width, arch growth, arch protrusion, mesiodistal angulation, an so on.In this review, we summarizes the above-mentioned factors.

Objective To study the anti-tumor effect of 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine(5-aza-dC) on breast carcinoma xenografted in nude mice. Methods The model of breast carcinoma xenografted in nude mice was established.Ten mice were randomized into the treatment group(treated with 5-aza-dC) and control group(treated with PBS).The mass of the tumors before and after treatment were measured in the two groups,and the inhibition rate of the tumor was calculated and the growth curve was drawn.Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting were employed to detect the expression of normal epithelial cell specific-1(NES1)gene. Results The inhibition rate of the tumor in the treatment group was 57.44%,which was significantly different from the control group(P

Objective To investigate the effects of colchicine on the proliferation and apoptosis of human Tenon's capsule fibroblasts (HTCFs) in vitro.Methods HTCFs were cultured in vitro,and the subcultured cells were identified.MTS assay was used to observe the inhibitory actions of colchicine on HTCFs at different concentrations.The apoptotic rates of the cells were detected by flow cytometry.The apoptosisrelated proteins,including PARP,Caspase-9,Caspase-3 and active-Caspase-3,were detected by Western blot.Results MTS assay showed that colchicine inhibited the proliferation of HTCFs in a dose-and time-dependent manner.Flow cytometry showed that colchicine induced a dose-dependent apoptosis of HTCFs for 48 hours,the apoptotic rates of 5 μmol · L-1,10 μmol · L-1 and 20 μmol · L-1 were (18.37 ±4.26)％,(33.80 ±5.02)％ and (52.00 ± 2.00)％,respectively,there were significant differences compared with the control (F =91.59,P ＜ 0.001).Western blot showed the activation of Caspase-3 and PARP followed by colchicine treatment.Conclusion Colchicine significantly inhibits the proliferation of HTCFs in vitro,and induced apoptosis,which may be associated with the activation of mitochondrial apoptotic pathways.

There is a unification of the social pooling accounts and personal saving accounts of Urban Employees' Basic Medical Insurance ( UEBMI) in Shanghai. In recent years, the revenue and expenditure of UEBMI funds increased, and the fund balance sprouted year by year, and mostly concentrated in personal health insurance saving accounts. On the whole, the vast majority of insured personal saving accounts have balances, but the balance is not high, i. e. less than 1000 yuan accounted for 52. 3%. Judging from the age group, the personal health insur-ance saving account funds is mainly concentrated in the 30-year-old and over working population. Because of its par-ticularity, the personal health insurance saving accounts can only be invested in current deposit (bank live), time deposit and national debt, bonds and other hedge. Compared with the price index devaluation, the personal health insurance saving accounts somehow failed to give full play to the personal attributes. It is suggested to explore the use function of personal health insurance saving accounts by establishing family saving accounts-family coexistence, pur-chasing of supplementary medical insurance and so on. Simultaneously, the channels of maintaining and increasing the value of personal health insurance saving accounts could be broadened.
