Objective To investigate the relationship between HBV genotypes and YMDD motif mutations or BCP mutations in Xiangtan of Hunan Province. Methods HBV genotypes, YMDD motif mutations and BCP mutations were analyzed in 952 HBV infected patients. Results HBV genotyping showed that 698 HBV type B patients and 115 HBV type C patients accounted for 73.32% and 12.08% respectively of all the participants. The rest 139( 14.60% )were genotype B and C mixed infection( B + C ). The analysis of YMDD motif mutations showed that 844 YMDD wild-type which accounted for 88.66% of all the subjects and the remainder were YMDD mutation types, of which 54( 5.67% ) carried YVDD, 53( 5.57% ) YIDD,and 1 YVDD and YIDD mixed infection. Basic Core Promoter mutations showed that 1762A/1764G ( wild type )accounted for 70.59% and 1762T/1764A( mutant ) accounted for 19.75%. The rest 92 patients were 1762T/1764A and 1762A/1764G mixed infection. This study showed no significant difference in the rate of YMDD mutation( 10.04% vs 10.43% ,χ2 =0.017,P＞0.05 ) ,but a significant difference in the types of YMDD mutation(χ2 = 4.836, P ＜ 0.05 )between HBV types B and C. The YVDD mutation was more commonly seen in genotype C( 9.57% ) than in genotype B( 5.88% ). The BCP mutation rate showed a significant difference( 27.36% vs 46.09%, χ2 = 16.478, P ＜ 0.01 ). Genotype C was more frequent than genotype B. The BCP mutation rate showed no significant difference between YMDD Wild-type and YMDD mutation types( 28.67% vs 35.51%, χ2 = 2.139, P ＞ 0.05 ), but most of BCP mutations happened in YVDD mutant type( 61.11% ). Conclusions ( 1 ) The predominant HBV genotypes in Xiangtan were genotype B and genotype C, the major genotype was type B, which display the characteristics of epidemiology in Southern China. ( 2 ) Determination of HBV genotypes before lamivudine therapy was probably not an important pretreatment investigation to predict antiviral responses. ( 3 ) Detection of HBV genotypes, YMDD motif mutations and BCP mutations will contribute to the correct evaluation of prognosis and timely proper management of HBV patients.

Objective To investigate the level of self-perceived burden(SPB) and analyze the influencing factors in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis(CAPD) patients.Methods One hundred and ten CAPD patients were investigated by a self-designed demographic questionnaire and Self-Perceived Burden Scale (SPBS).Results The total score of SPBS was (30.27±7.88) points,being in a middle level,and 85.45％ of the patients showed different levels of burden.Single factor analysis showed the influencing factors of self-perceived burden were marital status,family per capita income,the main caregivers and selfcare ability.Conclusions Most CAPD patients have obvious self-perceived burden,nursing staff should use the relevant nursing measures to reduce the SPB with CAPD patients and improve their quality of life.

AIM: To prepare ethosomes and study on transdermal resorption of tanshinone ethosomes in vitro. METHODS: Tanshinone ethosomes were prepared by thin-film ultrasonic method.The different dosage regimens and volume on the transdermal resorption of tanshinone were evaluated through excised mice skin in vitro using modified Franz-diffustion cells. RESULTS: The mean particle diameter of ethosomes was 79.7 nm,and the encapsulation efficiency was about 81.2%.Cumulative penetration amount of tanshinone from ethosomes was 1024? 104.0 ng/cm2 and skin residual amount was 345.2?58.0 ng/cm2.Cumulative penetration amount increased with ethosomes volume.Liposomes failed to promote the penetration of tanshinone,and its skin residual amount was 625.3 ?124.5 ng/cm2,water-ethanolic suspension also could not promote the penetration of tanshinone,and skin residual amount was 765.0?60.00 ng/cm2. CONCLUSION:Ethosomes can improve significantly the transdermal delivery of tanshinone.

Objectives To track bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) labeled by enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and superparamagnetic iron oxide ( SPIO ) -poly-L-lysine (PLL) compound by MRI in vitro for autotransplantation into pancreas of type 1 diabetes miniature pigs. Methods The BMSCs were isolated by density gradient centrifugation and attachment culture from type 1 diabetes minipigs' bone marrow. Expressional intensity of EGFP in BMSCs transfected lentivirus-EGFP with a multiplicity of infection Different magnetic resonance scanning protocols were carried out on various density BMSCs labeled by different concentration of SPIO in various time-point in vitro. Results When SPIO concentration was 25mg/L (count in Fe3 + ), the positive Fe3+ -labeling rate of BMSCs was 93. 1%. Most of SPIO particles in BMSCs' cytoplasm were observed in secondary lysosomes, but they were not detected in important organelle as cell nucleus. Comparing with gelatin the MRI of BMSCs labeled with SPIO in the condition with 1 ×104/ml cells density and 25 mg/L Fe3+ concentration in vitro, the signal intensity changes (△SI) after BMSCs labeled with SPIO 3 weeks and 6 weeks in TSE T1WI, TSE T2WI and FLASH T2 * WI sequences were 12%, 41%, 63% and 7%, 28%, 46% respectively (P ＜ 0.01 and P ＜ 0.05, respectively).Conclusions The data showed that the porcine BMSCs labeled with SPIO and EGFP could be traced successfully in vitro by MRI in the suitable sequences.
