Objective:To estimate the prevalence of antiretroviral drug resistance in treatment-naive in-dividuals with human immunodeficiency virus ( HIV ) in China. Methods: Five electronic databases [ Chinese BioMedical Literature Database ( CBM) , Chinese Journal Full-text Database ( CNKI) , Chinese Science-Technology Journal Database ( VIP) , Wanfang Data, and PubMed] were searched for studies of HIV drug resistance in untreated individuals. Drug resistance data were abstracted then pooled using the random effect model. Subgroup analysis was done across sampling time, location, study population ( mean age and infection status) , and sample size. Results: Seventy-six studies were included for our meta-analysis (46 in Chinese, 30 in English). The pooled rates of drug resistance to total, to non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor ( NNRTI ) , to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI), and to protease inhibitor ( PI) were 4. 7% (95%CI:4. 0% -5. 4%), 2. 3% (95%CI:1. 8% -2. 8%), 1. 8% (95%CI:1. 3% -2. 3%), and 1. 4% (95%CI:1. 1% -1. 8%), respective-ly. All the rates before 2007 were higher than those for 2008 or later. Meanwhile, significant differences were found in the sample areas (P <0. 05), in which, the rates in South-central and Southwest were both higher than 5%. The difference was complex between mean age and infection status subgroup, and we found the total prevalence in the group under 25 years and the newly infected, and confirmed group was lower than in the others. For sample size, all the rates in the group under 100 samples were higher than in the others, and the difference was significant (P<0. 05). Conclusion: The prevalence of HIV primary drug resistance in China was 4. 7%, which stayed low, but was also close to the line set by WHO. Enhanced surveillance for drug resistance is necessary in high epidemic areas including the South-central and Southwest China whose prevalence has crossed the line.

Postprandial hypotension is an abnormal regulation of blood pressure, which is common in the elderly. Due to insidious symptoms, postprandial hypotension is easily neglected by patients and medical staff in clinical practice, but it has a high degree of harm. There are many factors related to the occurrence of postprandial hypotension, including demographic factors, disease-related factors, lifestyle factors, postprandial postural factors and so on. Among demographic factors, age is positively associated with the occurrence of postprandial hypotension. Among disease-related factors, the existence of some basic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, and the use of most kinds of anti-hypertensive drugs can increase the risk of postprandial hypotension. Among lifestyle factors, smoking is a risk factor for postprandial hypotension: while reducing the intake of staple foods, drinking large amounts of water or drinking green tea before meals may reduce the risk of postprandial hypotension. By taking different postures after meals, postural factors affect the rate of gastrointestinal emptying and then affect the occurrence of postprandial hypotension. Among the above factors, it is feasible to prevent postprandial hypotension by changing postprandial posture.

Objective:To investigate the impact of connexin 43(CX43) on the connection of S24 glioblastoma multiforme (S24-GBM) cellular network and to explore its role on radio-resistance.Methods:Specific lentiviral vectors were used to knockout CX43 in S24-GBM stem cells (S24-GBMSCs). Alternatively, carbenoxolone (CBX) was used to block transmission of CX43. Subsequently, the animal subjects grafted with S24-GBMSCs were monitored under a multiphoton laser scanning microscope (MPLSM). Dynamic changes of tumor microtubes (TMs) and transmission of Ca 2+ and SR101 in the cellular network were recorded. To study the radiosenstivity of S24-GBM before and after CX43 inhibition, MRI scanning of the brains was taken before and after radiation to assess the tumor sizes. Survival time of each subject was also recorded. Results:In comparison with control group, knockout of CX43 in S24-GBMSCs led to shorter TMs, less TM connected cells, lower Ca 2+ synchronicity and SR101 fluorescence, as well as decreased tumor sizes and prolonged survival time (all P<0.01), which were independent from radiation. However, CBX only demonstrated inhibition on the growth of tumors and the diffussion of Ca 2+ and SR101, without affecting TMs formation. These above-mentioned alterations could be enhanced by the combination of gap43 knockout in S24-GBMSCs with blockage of CX43 by CBX (all P<0.05). Conclusion:CX43 plays a critical role in the radioresistance of S24-GBM by influencing the formation of S24-GBM cellular network and the transmission of important signaling molecules including Ca 2+ and SR101.
