China Pharmacist 2016;19(5):914-916
Objective:To observe the efficacy of human interferon alpha-2b in the patients with HPV infection. Methods:Totally 128 patients with HPV infection were divided into two groups by the random number table with 64 cases in each. The patients in the observation group were treated with human interferon alpha-2b and those in the control group were treated with Baofukang suppositories. The course of treatment was 30 days for two groups. The expression level of HPV E6 / E7 mRNA,p16 and p53 before and after the treatment and the severe adverse reactions in each group were studied. Results:The effective rate of the observation group was 93. 75% ,and that of the control group was 84. 38%(P < 0. 05),the effictive rate of the observation group was better than the control group. After the treatment,the median(M)and the positive expression rate of E6 / E7mRNA,p16 and p53 in the two groups were significantly changed when compared with those before the treatment(P < 0. 05),and the difference between the two groups was also significant(P < 0. 05). After treatment the expression and the positive rate of E6 / E7 mRNA P16 and P53 for different types of diseases in two groups were significanst difference(P < 0. 05),comparisons the parameters between groups were significant difference(P < 0. 05). Conclusion:The clinical efficacy of recombinant human interferon alpha-2b for HPV infection is better and the adverse drug reactions are mild,which can reduce the expression and positive rate of E6 / E7mRNA,p16 and p53 in the patients with HPV infection.

Objective :
To systematically evaluate the adherence to antiretroviral therapy among HIV/AIDS patients in China, so as to provided evidence-based insights into improving the efficacy of antiretroviral therapy.
Methods:
Publications pertaining to the adherence to antiretroviral therapy among HIV/AIDS patients in China were retrieved in CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, PubMed, and Cochrane Library from 2012 to 2022. A meta-analysis was performed using the software Stata 16.0. Sensitivity analysis was performed with the leave-one-out method, and the publication bias was evaluated using funnel plot and Begg's test.
Results:
A total of 1 171 publications were screened, and 33 publications were included in the final analysis, which covered 11 218 subjects in 19 study areas and included 18 high-quality publications and 15 medium-quality publications. Meta-analysis showed that the pooled adherence to antiretroviral therapy was 86.57% (95%CI: 86.01%-87.12%, P<0.05) among HIV/AIDS patients, and subgroup analysis showed high adherence among HIV/AIDS patients in eastern China (92.13%, 95%CI: 91.45%-92.82%). Sensitivity analysis showed the robustness of the meta-analysis results, and no publication bias was detected as revealed by the funnel plot and Begg's test (P>0.05).
Conclusions
The adherence to antiretroviral therapy is 86.01% to 87.12% among HIV/AIDS patients in China. Intensified health education and follow-up management is required among HIV/AIDS patients in China.

Background and purpose:It has been reported that gap junctional (GJ) function was signiifcantly decreased in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and cell lines. However, the increased GJ suppress tumorigenesis and the development of liver cancer. This study therefore aimed to examine the effect of simvastatin on GJ function between Hep3b cells. Thus, the exploition of drugs to increase GJ function between liver cancer cells will provide an efifcient approach to ifght against liver tumor as well as increase cytotoxicity of antitumor agents.Methods:SRB was used to assay the toxicity of simvastatin. The effect of simvastatin on GJ function was determined by “Parachute” dye-coupling assay and scrape loading/dye transfer assay.Results:Pretreated Hep3b cells with simvastatin at the concentration of 1, 5 or 10 μmol/L for 24 h did not induce the cytotoxicity. So simvastatin at the concentration of 5 and 10 μmol/L would not reduce the amount of GJ on cell membranes. “Parachute” dye-coupling assay showed that the treatment with 5 and 10 μmol/L simvastatin for 4 h enhanced the dye spread through GJ in Hep3b cells. Similarly, scrape loading/dye transfer assay showed that simvastatin could induce the increasing spread of lucifer yellow (Ly, Sigma) around the scoifng cells with increasing concentrations.Conclusion:Simvastatin could increase the GJ function of Hep3b cells.

Objective To investigate the clinical application of interventional combination embolization of spleen and kidney in treating traumatic splenic and renal hemorrhage. Methods Since Jan. 2010 to early 2014, a total of 24 patients with traumatic splenic and renal hemorrhage were admitted to authors’ hospital. After angiography, super-selective embolization with Gelfoam particles was employed to occlude the bleeding arteries. The results were analyzed. Results Technical success with single procedure was achieved in all the 24 patients. All 24 patients survived the trauma. The complication was mild. Follow-up examination showed that the embolization results were perfect. Conclusion For the treatment of traumatic splenic and renal hemorrhage, interventional combination embolization of spleen and kidney is safe and effective with reliable clinical results, and this technique can reduce visceral function damage to the greatest possible advantage.

Objective:To explore the current status and the influencing factors of knowledge, attitude and behavior of radiodermatitis in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma undergoing radiotherapy, so as to provide a scientific basis for nursing staff to formulate effective health education programs.Methods:A self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate 220 radiotherapy patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma in the radiotherapy department of 4 tertiary A hospitals in Hunan Province.Results:The scores of knowledge, attitude, and behavior of radiodermatitis patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma were (61.58±19.93), (75.70 ±15.64), (65.87±14.21) points, respectively. The main factors influencing of behavior are knowledge, attitude, radiodermatitis grade, radiotherapy frequency, and family personal monthly income level ( t values were 1.978-8.081, P<0.05). Conclusion:At present, patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma undergoing radiotherapy have a partial understanding of radiodermatitis and poor self-observation of radiodermatitis. Nursing staff should pay special attention to the patients with incomplete knowledge, negative attitudes, low family personal monthly income, low frequency of radiotherapy, and low grade of radiodermatitis.

Objective:
To understand the concentrations and source of SO42-,NO3-,Cl- and NH4+ in atmospheric PM2.5 in Zhoushan,and to provide reference for controlling PM2.5 and formulating effective environmental protection measures.
Methods:
Monitoring sites in new districts of Zhoushan were set up to continuously collect PM2.5 from 10th to 16th of each month and under the hazy weather during 2015-2016(AQI > 200). The mass concentration of PM2.5 was measured by weighing method,and the concentrations of SO42-,NO3-,Cl- and NH4+ in PM2.5 components was detected by ion chromatography.
Results:
The average daily concentration of PM2.5 in Zhoushan from 2015 to 2016 was(40.91±27.39)μg/m3. The concentration of the four water-soluble non-metal ions in PM2.5 components was 3.56-103.03 μg/m3,with an average of(23.06±20.00)μg/m3,accounting for about 56.64% of PM2.5 contents. The average monthly concentration of SO42- was the highest[(10.35±6.48)μg/m3],while the average monthly concentration of Cl- was the lowest [(0.49±0.73)μg/m3]. The concentration of the four ions was the highest in winter[(37.56±27.74)μg/m3]and the lowest in summer[(12.32±5.88)μg/m3]. The differences between different seasons was statistically significant(P<0.05). The highest concentration of NO3- occurred in winter,which was(14.48±13.28)μg/m3. The concentration ratio of NO3- to SO42- ranged from 0 to 2.58,with an average of 0.55. There were 28 days(14.74%)with the ratio greater than one,22 days of which was in winter.
Conclusion
The concentration of SO42- was the highest and Cl- was the lowest in atmospheric PM2.5 in Zhoushan. The highest concentration of the four ions occurred in winter. The concentration of NO3- in winter was higher than that of SO42-,suggesting that motor vehicle exhaust might be the main source of PM2.5 in winter.
