AIDS has become a global disease,and a variety of drugs are used in the treatment of AIDS ,but the interindividual variabilities in efficacy and toxicity remain important limitations for the use of these drugs.Studies have shown genetic polymor-phism is the main reason for interindividual variabilities of drug reaction.In recent years,scholars focused on the pharmacog-enomics of anti-AIDS drugs and found that genetic polymor-phisms,in large part,determine the interindividual variabilities of the responese of these drugs.This paper reviews the research progress on pharmacogenomics of the four types of anti-AIDS drugs commonly used in China,including nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs),non-nucleoside reverse tran-scriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs),protease inhibitors (PIs)and integrase inhibitors (raltegravir).

Objective To explore the application of integrating 64-slice CT image with three-dimensional electroanatomic mapping(Carto-Merge) in guiding catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation(AF).Methods Fifteen patients with drug-refractory AF received catheter ablation of AF.64-slice CT scan was performee 1-3 days prior to the ablation procedures.Using a novel software package,the left atrium(LA)with PVs was segmented and extracted for image registration with a combination of landmark registration and surface registration.Results The integration of the CT image into the electroanatomic mapping system was performed successfully in all patients with an error of 2.11?0.82 mm.Thirty pairs of PVs were electrically isolated after circumferential rediogrequency pulmorary rein ablation.The mean procedure time was 170.51?38.47 minutes.Cardiac tamponade occurred in one patient.All the fifteen patients were free of AF recurrence after 3 months of follow up including the 2 cases of persistent AF who required antiarrhythmic drugs.No thromboembolic events or stenosis were observed.Conclusion Integration of 64-slice CT image into the CARTO system successfully performed in patients undergoing catheter ablation of AF and enhance the ablation success rate.

Objective To determine the relationship between serum adiponectin level and chronic inflammation,atherosclerosis in maintenance hemodialysis(MHD)patients.Methods Totally 60 MHD patients and 30 healthy volunteers were included in this study.Serum adiponectin level(ADPN)and C-reative protein(CRP),interleukin-6(IL-6)were measured.Carotid initial-medial thickness(IMT)and brachial arterial vasodilation were determined by echocardiography.Results Serum ADPN level(0.99?0.37)was higher in MHD patients than that(0.39?0.14)in controls.The ADPN level of higher IMT group was lower than that in normal IMT group.CRP,IL-6 and Cartid IMT were negatively correlated with ADPN(r=-0.22,-0.31-0.26,P

Objective:To investigate the inhibitory effect of dihydroartemisinin on non-small cell lung cancer H1299 cells.Methods:Through the CCK-8 method for determining the IC 10 of dihydroartemisinin ,choose low dose IC 10 as the experimental concentration,CCK-8 to observe artemisinin in low doses of H1299 cell proliferation, cycle and the influence of radiation sensitivity.Results:IC10 of dihydroartemisinin was 14.87 μmol/L,dihydroartemisinin could inhibit proliferation of H 1299 cells,slow down the cell cycle , and increased the radiation sensitivity.Conclusion: Dihydroartemisinin can inhibit cell proliferation , cell cycle arrest in S phase ,increase the radiation sensitivity.

Objective To conclude the practical nursing experiences of the infantile actue necrotizing fasciitis treated with vacuum sealing drainage(VSD) and continuous irrigation.Methods 21 cases of the infantile actue necrotizing fasciitis treated with with VSD and continuous irrigation were reviewed from January 2009 to December 2014.The nursing experiences of observation for the state of the illness,the safety management of VSD,the management of medication,mental nursing and health education were summarized.Results 21 infants all recovered and were discharged.Postoperative follow up 6 months later were conducted.No obvious disabilities of the extremities were found.Among them,8 cases were treated with VSD and continuous irrigation for 2 weeks and then had routine wound dressing changing for 10 days,the wound almost healed when discharged.13 cases were treated with VSD and continuous irrigation for one week and then had routine dressing changing for 12 to 13 days.The wound healed when discharged.No skin necrotizing,no scar of the incision and no other complications were detected.Conclusions Using VSD and continuous irrigation to treat the actue necrotizing fasciitis in infants are of great significance for the nurses to reduce the postoperative complication and promote rehabilitation doing as follows:turning over with the postoperative nursing of VSD in a standard manner,observation and management of the incision area,maintenance of the irrigation and VSD;observation and assessment of the infant's condition,management of the medication,mental nursing and health education.

OBJECTIVETo compare the sedative effects of different doses of dexmedetomidine (DEX) and midazolam (MDZ) in dental implant surgery:

METHODSSixty patients undergoing dental implantation were selected and divided randomly into six groups (10 in each group). In group 1 (G1), a highdose of MDZ alone was administered intravenously. In group 2 (G2), a relatively low dose of MDZ and DEX was administered intravenously. In group 3 (G3), a highdose of MDZ and DEX was administered intravenously. In group 4 (G4), a lowdose of MDZ and a highdose of DEX were administered. In group 5(G5), a highdose of MDZ and a low dose of DEX were administered. In group 6 (G6), a highdose of DEX alone was administered intravenously. Blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), and arterial oxygen saturation values were measured. Sedation was assessed by determining the Ramsay sedation scores(RSS) during infiltration anesthesia (T1), incision (T2), cutting (T3), and suturing (T4). Before discharging from the hospital, patients were asked if they remembered the T1 to T4 procedures. The visual analogue scale (VAS) and the degree of patient satisfaction were assessed at the same time.

RESULTSIn T1 to T4, the systolic blood pressure (SBP) in G3 was the lowest and was significantly different from that in G1 and G2 (P < 0.05). In G1, the SBP was higher than that in G6 at the T3 and T4 points (P < 0.05). HR was below the preoperative (P < 0.05) in the G3 only. RSS was the lowest in G1 during the whole procedure. In G2, most patients obtained scores of 2-3. In G3, sedation was deeper, had more cases ofup to 5. In G4, most patients obtained scores of 3-4. In G5, some patients had a score of up to 5. The RSS in G6 was lower than that in G3 and G4 or G5 in T1 to T2, closer to G4 in T2. An evaluation of the VAS and the degree of patient satisfaction did not show any differences among the groups.

CONCLUSIONThe combination of DEX and MDZ is superior to a single intravenous injection. Low-dose MDZ combined with high-dose DEX achieved the highest quality of sedation in this study.

Objective To evaluate the effect of resurfacing facial atrophic acne scars with 2790 nm YSGG fractional laser.Methods 38 patients with facial atrophic acne scars were treated with the 2790 nm YSGG fractional laser.All patients were randomly divided into two groups:group A using the combination with ablative and non-ablative mode of treatment; group B only using the non-ablative mode throughout the entire face,four treatment sessions for each patient,6 weeks interval.Comparative photographs were taken by using VISIA.Specific complexion analysis was used to identify and quantify depressed scars and texture,and patient satisfaction was graded with a 4-point scale.Results All of facial atrophic acne scars obtained different degree of improvement were treated by 4 times.In groups A and B,cure rate achieved 56.0 ％ and 30.8 ％,respectively.All the 38 patients had a chieved efficacy (81.6 ％),and they were satisfied with the results (84.2 ％).No severe side effect was observed.Conclusions 2790 nm YSGG laser is easy to manipulate and is more exactly than other lasers.It is especially effective in enhancing the clinical outcomes of scar revision with less complications and pigmentation,and thereby 2790 nm YSGG fractional laser can provide the patients with superficial scar in face as an additional therapeutic option.
