ObjectiveTo evaluate the sensitivity and accuracy of an in-house detecting method of HIV-1 genotypic drug resistance system. MethodsTotally 130 serum specimens from Henan and Guangxi province were collected from April 2004 to October 2008 and tested in the Military HIV Testing Center of China. ViroSeqTM v2.0 (Abbott, Switzerland), a US FDA approved HIV genotypic drug resistance detecting system was utilized as the reference method. All the specimens were detected by the novel in-house method and the reference method to validate the difference in amplifying efficiency, drug resistance mutation detection and drug resistance report. ResultsConcerning the 14 850 known drug resistance mutation sites,14 752 (99. 3％ ) mutations can be detected by both of the two methods. Rates of concordance of detection in the regions of protease inhibitors-, reverse transcriptase inhibitors- and both two classes inhibitors-resistance were99.7％ ( Kappa =0. 909 9 , P ＜0. 01 ) , 99. 0％ (Kappa=0.952 1, P＜0. 01) and99.3％ (Kappa=0. 948 8, P ＜ 0. 01 ) respectively. Drug resistance reports from these two systems showed similar results (Kappa = 0. 637 4, P ＜ 0. 01 ). The in-house detecting system identified 34 novel mutations besides the ViroSeqTM drug resistance mutation database ( ViroSeqTM software v2. 7). Two mutations, V179F and K238T,had significant effect on HIV drug resistance. ConclusionsThe in-house genotyping system is an accurate,cost-effective method and has a high concordance with commercial ViroSeqTM genotyping system. Database from the in-house assay was superior to this of the ViroSeqTM assay.

Objective To isolate stable passage primary HIV-1 drug resistant strains and observe replication dynamics of the drug resistant isolates and evolvement tendency of the drug resistant mutations in vitro.Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs)from 15 AIDS patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy(HAART)were collected,and the primary HIV-1 stains were separated utilizing co-cultivated with PBMCs from normal people.HIV-1 pol genes from those strains were obtained by RT-PCR and sequenced.The drug resistant mutations were analyzed in the Stanford HIV Drug Resistance Database.Results Eight strong positive strains were isolated from 15 AIDS patients with viral loads higher than 1000 copies/ml,and two of them were drug resistant.Drug resistant mutations of the two strains were respectively K103N/K238T and M184V/K103N/Y181C/H221Y which show high-level resistance to NVP and 3TC/NVP,respectively.K103N,M184V,Y181C and H221Y exist stably in the environment without drug pressure,however,RT K238T reverted to K238.Conclusion Two drug resistant strains were successfully isolated in vitro without drug pressure.Strains with K103N shows superior fitness and can exist steadily.Strains with M184V and K103N/Y181C/H221Y can also replicate stably in vitro without drug pressure.NNRTI mutation K238T reproduces astatically,which suggests that RT 238 codon might revert gradually to wild genotype.

Sichuan Province is located across several major geomorphic units,such as the Qinghai Tibet Plateau,Hengduan Mountains,the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau,Qinling Bashan Mountains,and Sichuan Basin.The complex ecological environment has created rich plant species.Based on the results of the fourth national survey of traditional Chinese medicine resources in Sichuan Province,according to the plant catalog in the,The results indicate that Sichuan has a total of 42 families,65 genera,and 116 species(including sub species)of medicinal plants under national key protection,there are 9 species such as lotus leaf fern under first level protection,and 107 species such as golden haired dog under second level protection.The distribution of rare and endangered medicinal plants in Sichuan Province has obvious regional characteristics,with the highest distribution in Leshan and Ganzi,and obvious vertical distribution.There are as many as 57 species distributed in high-altitude areas such as Ganzi Prefecture and Aba Prefecture.The endangered reasons for the key protected medicinal plants in Sichuan Province are mostly caused by human destruction and environmental damage.It is suggested to strengthen the protection of rare and endangered medicinal plant resources and develop and utilize them reasonably.

Objective To Provide basic information for the development of traditional Chinese medicine in the region by collating medicinal plant resources in Southern Sichuan Economic Zone.Methods The list was formed in Southern Sichuan Economic Zone by collecting and verifying Medicinal Plant Resources in 28 Counties(Districts)of the Southern Sichuan Economic Zone.The species composition,family structure,life type,threated degree of the medicine plants resources,the medicinal parts of key medicinal plants included,main cultivated medicinal herbs in the pharmacopoeia were statistically analysed for searching for the diversity of medicinal plant resources.Results The medicinal plant resources included 201 families,979 genera,2555 species.Herbaceous medicinal plants accounted for the largest proportion in both species and quantity.There are 270 species listed in the Chinese pharmacopoeia and 72 threatened and protected species among the medicinal plant resources.Conclusion The diversity of medicinal plant resources in the South Sichuan Economic Zone is prominent,and it can be reasonably developed,utilized,and protected.It is suggested to formulate effective protection measures for wild medicinal plant resources based on regional environmental characteristics,and rationally and sustainably develop and utilize high-quality medicinal plant resources with local characteristics.

(4) Influen-cing factors for prognosis of patients. Results of univariate analysis showed that age, sequential organ failure score, duration of ACS before surgery, procalcitonin, lactic acid, postoperative high-order intestinal fistula, abdominal hemorrhage, duration of postoperative acute gastrointestinal injury, duration of continuous renal replacement therapy, duration of vasoactive drugs therapy, early abdominal closure were related factors influencing prognosis of patients under-going treatment with open abdomen technique ( hazard ratio=1.07, 1.18, 1.39, 1.16, 8.25, 12.26, 2.83, 1.29, 1.56, 1.41, 0.02, 95% confidence interval as 1.00-1.15, 1.45-2.27, 1.22-1.57, 1.02-1.32, 1.75-38.90, 7.37-41.23, 1.16-6.93, 1.22-1.37, 1.23-1.99, 1.08-1.84, 0.00-0.16, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that extended duration of ACS before surgery, postoperative high-order intestinal fistula and extended duration of postoperative acute gastrointestinal injury were independent risk factors influencing prognosis of patients undergoing treatment with open abdomen technique ( hazard ratio=1.05, 7.95, 1.17, 95% confidence interval as 1.01-1.32, 2.05-30.87, 1.13-1.95, P<0.05) and early abdominal closure was an independent protective factor ( hazard ratio=0.10, 95% confidence interval as 0.01-0.89, P<0.05). Results of Spearman correlation analysis showed that duration of ACS was positively correlated with sequential organ failure score before surgery ( r=0.71, P<0.05). Conclusions:Open abdomen technique is effective for acute pancreatitis with ACS. Extended duration of ACS before surgery, postoperative high-order intestinal fistula and extended duration of postoperative acute gastrointestinal injury are independent risk factors for prognosis of patients during hospitalization and early abdominal closure is an independent protective factor.
