Objective To investigate therapeutic mechanism of radiation therapy associated with Doeetaxel on human uterine cervi-cal carcinoma. Method Hela cells were incubated with 0. 5 μmol/L, 1.01 μmol/Docetaxel for 24 hours, and were radiated with 0, 2, 4, 6, 8Gy X ray. The proliferation activity was detected with MTT method. Apoptosis was evaluated with TUNEL method. Expression of caspase-3 protein and the degradation fragment was measured with Western blot. Result Inhibitory effect of radiation therapy associated Docetaxel on Hela cells was significantly stronger than that of radiation group. Treated with 2 Gy and 6MV X ray radiation, inhibitory rate of Hela cells increased with the increment of associated Docetaxel doses (P<0.05). Inhibitory rate of Hela cells in radiation associated Docetaxel group was significantly increased compared with radiation group. Apoptosis index in radiation associated Docetaxel group 48 hours after treatment was significantly increased compared with radiation group or Docetaxel group with TUNEL method (P<0.05). Western blot results indies-ted that caspase-3 protein was degraded and small active fragments were produced. Conclusion The reason that Docetaxel enhanced Hela cell radiation sensitivity may probably he correlated to easpase-3 protein activation.

Objective To understand major risk factors associated with end-stage liver disease (ESLD) among patients with human immunedeficiency virus (HIV)/hepatitis B virus (HBV) co-infection.Methods Patients with HIV/HBV co-infection were followed-up and factors related to ESLD were analyzed using logistic regression model to estimate odds ratios (ORs) for them. Results A total of 255 patients with HIV/HBV co-infection were investigated, with an incidence of ESLD of 19. 2% ( 49/255 ). Major risk factors associated with ESLD among patients with HIV/HBV co-infection included count of CD4 below 200 cells/μl at baseline, HIV RNA load decreasing to the lower limit of its detection level within six months after antiretroviral treatment (ART), abnormal of serum activities of transaminase (ALT or AST), longer persistently positive of HIV RNA and HBV DNA, and use of lamivudine-based ART, with OR of 6. 503,14. 456, 0. 049, 1. 814, 1. 536 and 0. 012, respectively. Conclusions Lower CD4 count, abnormal serum transaminases, persistent replication of HIV and HBV all are closely related to ESLD in patients with HIV/HBV co-infection. Therefore, lamivudine-based ART should be of choice for patients with HIV/HBV coinfection to decrease incidence of ESLD.

Objective To investigate the incidence and risk factors of end-stage liver disease (ESLD) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) co-infected patients after antiretroviral therapy (ART).Methods The demographic and clinical data of HIV-HCV coinfected patients in Zhongnan Hospital,Wuhan University and local Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from Jan 2003 to Dec 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. Single factor and multiple factor Logistic regression were used to analyze the correlation between the variables and incidence of ESLD,such as baseline age ≥40,male,previous blood transfusion history,duration of HCV persistent infection,hepatitis B virus (HBV) co-infection (HBsAg positive),HIV RNA≥-1 ×104 copy/mL at last visit,HCV RNA≥ 1.× 105 copy/mL at last visit,CD4 count > 200 / μL at last visit,alanine aminotranferase (ALT) ≥ 2 × upper limit normal (ULN) at last visit,ART containing nevirapine (NVP),follow-up duration,ART duration>5 years and HCV genotype 1b.The effect of ESLD on the survival of HIV-HCV co-infected patients was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method.Results Totally 427 HIV-HCV co-infected patients were followed up with average of 3.7 years. Fifty-five patients (12.9%) developed ESLD,and 52 patients (12.2%) died.Factors independently associated with ESLD included baseline age≥40 (OR=2.385,P=0.039),ALT ≥2× ULN (OR=16.374,P=0.000),HBV-coinfection (OR=2.507,P=0.042),duration of ART > 5 years (OR=3.232,P=0.010),and CD4 count ≥200/μL (OR=0.364,P=0.011).The cumulative mortality of HIV-HCV co-infected patients with ESLD was 50.9%,whereas that of HIV-HCV co-infected patients without ESLD was 6.5% (P=0.000).Conclusion In the ART era,ESLD is common among HIV-HCV co-infected patients in China,which is responsible for reducing the survival time of the patients.
