Objective:To explore the characteristics of long-lived memory CD8 + T cells and its relationship with disease progression in HIV-1 infected patients. Methods:Twenty-six treatment-na?ve and 26 antiretroviral therapy (ART)-treated HIV-1 infected patients, as well as 11 healthy controls were recruited in this study. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated and analyzed by flow cytometry to detect the frequency and function of long-lived memory CD8 + T cells. Results:The frequency of long-lived memory CD8 + T cells decreased significantly in treatment-na?ve patients compared with that in healthy controls, and was not fully restored in ART-treated group. In addition, the frequency of long-lived memory CD8 + T cells is positively correlated with CD4 + T cell count and CD4/CD8 ratio, while negatively correlated with HIV-1 viral load. Conclusions:The disease progression in chronic HIV-1 infected individuals is accompanied by continuous damage to long-lived memory CD8 + T cell.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) in the patients with primary liver cancer complicating cirrhosis portal hypertension.Methods Twenty-two cases of TACE combined with TIPS due to decompensation of liver cancer complicating cirrhosis portal hypertension in this hospital from January 2011 to January 2015 were collected as the combined group and 28 cases of liver cancer complicating cirrhosis portal hypertension treated only by TACE without conducting TIPS were screened out as the control group.The curative effect and prognosis of the two groups were observed.Results The success rate of TIPS was 100％,the preoperative portal pressure was (38.4±7.6) cm H2O and the postoperative portal pressure was (28.4±7.7)cm H2O,the difference was statistically significant (P＜ 0.05);the preoperative portal vein diameter was (16.2 ±2.5)mm and postoperative portal vein diameter was (13.3±1.8)mm,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).The postoperative 1-year stent patency rate was 95％ and 2-year stent patency rate was 90％.The postoperative 1-year and 2-year re-bleeding rates in the control group were 60.7 ％ and 78.5 ％ respectively,which in the combined group were 9.1％ and 13.6 ％ respectively,the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05).The 1-year accumulated survival rate in the combined group was 81％,2-year accumulated survival rate was 68％,and the median survival time was 53 months,while the 1-year accumulated survival rate in the control group was 78 ％,2-year accumulated survival rate was 15 ％,and the median survival time was 17 months,the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion Conducting TACE combined with TIPS in the patients with primary liver cancer complicating cirrhosis portal hypertension can safely and effectively control the tumor development,reduce and even eliminate the portal hypertension syndrome,and increase the life quality and survival rate.

The fatality rate of traumatic cardiac arrest (TCA) is extremely high, and it is very different from that of non-traumatic cardiac arrest (NTCA) in resuscitation strategy. Only when the standard resuscitation process is combined with rapid treatment of various reversible causes can the mortality rate of patients be decreased. In this paper, the key factors leading to TCA are reviewed, such as hypovolemic shock, asphyxia, tension pneumothorax, pericardial tamponade, crush syndrome, craniocerebral injury, cerebral hernia, and the control measures are elaborated respectively, so as to provide references for clinical treatment of patients with severe trauma, and reduce TCA incidence and mortality.
