Because the biology characteristic of HIV is extremely different from that of other microorganisms, HIV vaccine research has being faced with unprecedented difficulties and challenges. In the last 20 years, HIV vaccine research has been carried out mainly with two strategies, i.e., neutralizing antibody based and cellular immunization based; however, substantive breakthroughs haven't been achieved until now. Inducing effective neutralizing antibody is always an important strategy in traditional vaccine research, but this strategy is much less efficient in HIV vaccine research because of high variation and much subtypes of HIV. In recent years, the discovery of broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibodies and elucidation of their corresponding antigen epitopes have brought new hopes for the development of neutralizing antibody based HIV vaccine. Reviewing these advancements will be helpful for reconsidering HIV vaccine development with a better strategy.

Objective To study the feasibility, safety, effectiveness of left atrial circumferential ablation of pulmonary veins for atrial fibrillation(Af) guided by EnsiteNavX mapping system. Methods Seventeen patients with paroxysmal or persistent Af were included. Real time 3-dimensional left artial (LA) and pulmonary veins (PVs) maps were constructed through EnsiteNavX mapping system. Pulmonary veins isolation was performed by encircle the left and right sides PVs at adistance of 1 to 2 cm away from the ostium of PVs. Results Seventeen patients were all reached the endpoint of abalation completely. The mean procedure time and fluoroscopy time were (226.1 ± 36.2) minutes and (41.3 ± 12.8) minutes. Mean radiofrequency energy delivery time was (61.9 ±15.4) minutes. Recur-rence of Af occurred in two patients, one was repeat ablation succnssfully. During 3 ～ 36 months followup, fourteen patients (82.3%) were free of Af without any antiarrhythmic drugs. Recurrence of Af occurred in three(11.7%) patients treated with amiodarone. No complications occurred during the procedure and the following up. Conclusion Left atrial circumferential isolation of pulmonary veins for Af guided by Ensite NavX mapping system was effective and salty.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of high-dose Ambroxol in treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Methods Retrieved from PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP and WanFang databases by computer, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about high-dose of Ambroxol in treatment of AECOPD were included. According to the inclusive and exclusive criteria, literatures and data were independently screened and extracted by two researchers, and the quality of the studies were assessed, Meta-analysis was conducted by RevMan 5.2 software. Results A total of 7 RCTs were included, involving 534 patients. Meta-analysis showed that experiment group can obviously improve the overall effective rate [OR = 4.11, 95%CI (2.31, 2.31), P < 0.000 01), shorten hospital stays(OR = 3.60, 95% CI (4.66, 2.55), P < 0.00001), compared with the control group was statistically difference, and no obvious adverse reactions. Conclusion High-dose of Ambroxol could improve AECOPD overall effective rate, shorten hospital stays, improve pulmonary function and blood gas analysis, and no serious adverse reactions, be worth clinical promote using.

OBJECTIVE To study the expression situation of esp gene and the relativity between esp gene and resistance of Enterococcus faecalis derived-infection.METHODS The E.faecalis esp gene was amplified by PCR,then it was cloned and sequenced;the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) of five antimicrobicals against E.faecalis was determined by agar dilution method.RESULTS The positive rate of esp gene in 61 strains of E.faecalis was 42.6%;the positive rate of esp gene in the resistant strains against ampicillin,ciprofloxacin,high-level gentamicin,and erythromycin was 33.3%,54.8%,70.6%,and 51.0%,respectively,and the positive rate of esp gene in the susceptible strains against above 4 antibacterials was 43.6%,30.0%,7.4%,and 8.3%,respectively.CONCLUSIONS Incidence of esp gene does not correlate with the resistance of E.faecalis against ampicillin,but clearly correlate with the resistance of E.faecalis against ciprofloxacin,high-level gentamicin,and erythromycin;esp could become a marker of high-level gentamicin against E.faecalis derived-infection.

Objective To investigate the effects of different pacing sites of right ventricle on serum N terminal Pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-ProBNP) and left ventricular systolic function.Methods A total of 76 patients with an implanted DDD pacemaker were randomly divided into right ventricular septal pacing group (RVSP group,n=40) and right ventricular apex pacing group (RVAP group,n=36) according to the ventricular leads position.Serum NT-proBNP level,left ventricular end diastolic dimension(LVEDD)and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)were analyzed before and 6 months after operation in the two groups.Results There was no difference in serum NT-proBNP level between the two groups before operation,but the serum NT-proBNP level increased in both groups 6 months after operation,and it was higher in RVAP group than in RVSP group (P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in LVEDD and LVEF in RVSP group before and after implantation (P＞0.05).Compared with pre-implantation,LVEDD was increased and LVEF was decreased in RVAP group 6 months after implantation (both P＜0.05).Linear correlation analysis showed that serum NT-proBNP level was negatively correlated to LVEF (2γ=-0.76,P＜0.05).Conclusions Compared with RVAP,RVSP can keep the normal sequence of electrical activity and exert less adverse effects on left ventricular systolic function.Therefore,RVS is an ideal pacing location.

Objective:To observe the effect of low-expression or over-expression of NUP88 gene on the proliferation and invasion ability of breast cancer cell line BT-20.Methods: NUP88 recombinant adenovirus expression vector and NUP88 RNAi adenovirus vector were transfected into breast cancer BT-20 cells to obtain BT-20 cells over-expressing NUP88 and BT-20 cells lower-expressing NUP88 and then detected the expression of NUP88 mRNA and NUP88 protein.After that,the apoptosis of BT-20 cells was detected by flow cytometry and the invasion and metastasis of BT-20 cells were detected by Transwell invasion assay.The expression of apoptosis protein and invasion and metastasis proteins were detected by Western blot.Results: BT-20 cell with the over expression levels of NUP88 mRNA and NUP88 protein and BT-20 cell with the low expression levels of NUP88 mRNA and NUP88 protein were structured.The over-expression of NUP88 gene led to proliferation rate and the number of invasive cells were significantly higher than BT-20 cells,apoptosis cells were significantly lower than BT-20 cells(P<0.05).However,the low-expression of NUP88 gene led to proliferation rate and the number of invasive cells were significantly lower than BT-20 cells,apoptosis cells was significantly higher than BT-20 cells(P<0.05).The over-expression of NUP88 gene led to Bcl-2 and β-catenin level were significantly higher than that of BT-20 cells,and Bax and E-cadherin level were significantly lower than that of BT-20 cells(P<0.05).However,the low-expression of NUP88 gene led to Bcl-2 and β-catenin level were significantly lower than that of BT-20 cells,and Bax and E-cadherin level were significantly higher than that of BT-20 cells(P<0.05).Conclusion: NUP88 gene regulates the proliferation and invasion and migration ability of breast cancer cells by regulating the expression of Bax,Bcl-2,E-cadherin and β-catenin.It has an important significance in the target treatment of breast cancer.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between NT-probrain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels and the degree of coronary artery stenosis in elderly patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes (NST-ACS).Methods The levels of NT-proBNP were determined in 258 elderly patients with NST-ACS divided into 3 quartile groups based on the degree of coronary artery stenosis,and 62 normal controls.And NT-pro BNP were compared among 4 groups.Results The serum levels of NT proBNP were increased in the NST-ACS patients with single,two or three-artery lesion compared with normal controls [(197.3±80.2)ng/L,(381.7±73.5)ng/L,(496.5± 99.8) ng/L vs.(68.2 ± 36.1) ng/L].The level of NT proBNP was enhanced along with increasing severity coronary artery disease (all P＜0.01).And with aging,the NT-proBNP levels were rising [aged＞60-69 years:(182.34±69.13) ng/L; aged≥70-79 years:(302.68±87.51)ng/L; aged≥80 years:(482.09±82.2)ng/L] (all P＜0.01).Conclusions The NT-proBNP level is enhanced along with aging and increasing severity of coronary artery stenosis in elderly NST-ACS patients.
