Antiretroviral therapy(ART)has been started in an increasingly earlier period in clinical practice.However,owing to the failure of immunological reconstitution or maintenance of latent HIV-1 reservoir in present antiviral treatment,interleukin-2(IL-2)is widely used as an adjuvant to ART with a view to intensifying immunological reconstitution and to activating latent HIV-1 infections.Some conclusions could be drawn as follows,1)IL-2 can extend the half-life of CD+4 T cells and increase the number of CD+4 T cells.2)Compared with ART alone,IL-2 and HAART combination can not reduce HIV-1 related opportunistic infection or death.IL-2 clinical usage is mainly focused on purging HIV-1 reservoir.3)IL-2 combined with ART could increase out flow rate of HIV-1 latent reservoir to reduce HIV-1 infected quiescent memory cells in peripheral circulation even to an undetectable level.4)IL-2 is supposed to be used periodically and for a long period of time.

BACKGROUND:Whether continuous passive motion improves osteoarthritis by enhancing the proliferation ability of chondrocytes is rarely reported.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the therapeutic outcomes of continuous passive motion in rabbits with osteoarthritis and the underlying mechanism.
METHODS:Thirty-six New Zealand white rabbits were randomly al otted into three groups (n=12 per group). Rabbits in control group only underwent capsulotomy with no harm to the cartilage;osteoarthritis models were established in the rabbits of model and treatment groups using Hulth method. At 1 day after modeling, the treatment group rabbits were treated with continuous passive motion, 8 hours daily for consecutive 8 weeks. Interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factorαlevels in the synovial fluid were detected by ELISA;col agen type II expression and the proliferation ability of chondrocytes were detected by MTT assay;Erk signaling pathway activation was determined using western blot assay.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the model group, interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factorαlevels in the synovial fluid were significantly increased, and the expression level of col agen type II mRNA was remarkablely down-regulated. Continuous passive motion significantly downregulated interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factorαlevels and up-regulated the col agen type II mRNA level (P<0.01). The model group showed significantly decreased proliferation ability of chondrocytes and down-regulated Erk signaling pathway activation, while after continuous passive motion, al above indicators were significantly improved (P<0.01). These results indicate that the continuous passive motion can al eviate osteoarthritis probably by influencing interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factorαlevels, proliferation ability of chondrocytes, and col agen type II expression, as wel as regulating Erk signaling pathway activation.

Rifabutin(RBT) is a rifamycin derivative,like rifampicin(RIF),registered for the prophylaxis and treatment of mycobacterium avium complex (MAC)in patients with AIDS by FDA in 1992.Subsequently,the drug was approved by many other countries.But now,it is used not only in the prophlaxis and treatment of mycobacterium avium complex but also in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis and Helicobacter pylori.For its high lipophilic characteristic and weak inducing properties compare to other rifamycin derivative,it can be applied in treatment with many diseases successfully,especially when combine with other antibiotics,and can solve the problem of traditional antibiotics resistance and increase the clinical safety of combined medical treatment.This paper just shows the progress of clinical pharmacological study and related aspects on rifabutin in order to instruct prescription.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of astragalus injection on the immune function in patients with senile sepsis.Methods Sixty patients with old age sepsis in Critical Care Medicine Department of Guangdong Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital were enrolled and randomly assigned into control and treatment groups according to the table of random numbers, 30 cases in each group. According to 2012 sepsis guidelines for treatment, including antibacterial drug, mechanical ventilation, visceral function support, etc., the therapy was given to the control group; besides the treatment in the control group, intravenous drip of 60 mL astragalus injection(10 mL per ampoule) in 250 mL 0.9% normal saline was additionally given in the treatment group, once a day for 7 days. Before and after treatment, the immunological indexes, acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ) score, sequential organ failure assessment(SOFA) score, duration of mechanical ventilation and time of stay in intensive care unit(ICU), 28-day mortality and adverse drug reactions were compared between the two groups.Results Before treatment, there were no statistically significant differences in CD3+, CD3+CD4+, CD3+CD8+ and T helper cells /T suppressor cells(Th/Ts)levels between the two groups(allP>0.05), while CD3-NK+ of the control group was significantly higher than that in the treatment group〔(10.47±6.22)% vs. (6.26±4.13)%,P<0.05〕. After treatment in treatment group, CD3+, CD3+CD4+ and CD3-NK+ were increased, CD3+CD8+,Th/Ts were decreased compared with those before treatment; in the control group after treatment, CD3+,CD3+CD8+ and CD3-NK+ were decreased and CD3+CD4+ and Th/Ts increased compared with those before treatment. In the comparisons between the treatment group and control group after treatment, the differences in CD3+, CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+ had statistical significance〔CD3+:(30.30±17.17)% vs.(41.91±22.29)%, CD3+CD4+:(31.54±13.24)% vs.(40.08±15.28)%, CD3+CD8+:(14.25±8.10)% vs.(9.52±9.33)%,allP<0.05〕; while the differences in Th/Ts and CD3-NK+ had no statistical significance(bothP>0.05). After treatment in the treatment group, IgG was increased compared with that in the control group〔IgG(g/L): 13.07±5.43 vs. 10.10±3.96,P<
0.05〕. The differences in IgA, IgM, complement(C3,C4) and total serum complement activity(CH50) in the comparisons between the two groups had no statistical significance after treatment(allP>0.05). The differences in APACHEⅡ score(13.83±6.18 vs. 15.90±7.48), SOFA score(7.38±4.66 vs. 6.89±4.19), time of stay in ICU(day: 11.63±5.13 vs. 13.62±8.08), invasive ventilation time(hour: 155.44±119.68 vs. 224.08±174.15) and noninvasive ventilation time(hour: 55.55±42.24 vs. 98.57±43.17) had no statistical significance in comparisons between the treatment group and control group after treatment(allP>0.05). The difference in 28-day mortality had no statistical significance in comparison between the treatment group and control group〔16.7%(5/30) vs. 20.0%(6/30),P>0.05〕. In 60 cases, there were 2 patients with adverse drug reaction, one diarrhea and another little rashes, the rest of the patients did not appear any drug side effect.ConclusionAstragalus injection combined with conventional western medicine therapy possibly has certain effect on adjustment of disturbance of immunologic functions in old patients with sepsis, and its therapeutic safety is well.

Objective To investigate changes of brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP)and somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) in patients with acute cerebral infarction,and discuss their relation with prognosis of the patients.Methods The study involved 60 patients with acute cerebral infarction.Changes of BAEP and SEP in each patient were detected and recorded continuously.Prognosis evaluation was performed by using GCS.Another 60 age-matched and gender-matched healthy human beings were enrolled as controls.Results Incubation period of BAEP wave Ⅰ had no significant difference between the cerebral infarction and control groups (P ＞ 0.05).However,interspike intervals of other BAEP waves in cerebral infarction group were different from those in control group (P ＜ 0.05).A series of waves of SEP (P14-N60) were all significantly prolonged in cerebral infarction group (P ＜0.05).Conclusion BAEP and SEP can effectively reflect function of brain stem in patients with acute cerebral infarction and have some values in determining their prognosis.
