The introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has greatly changed the pattern and natural history of ocular diseases of HIV-infected patients, resulting from the immune recovery and reduction of opportunistic infections. However, ophthalmic complica-tion continues to be concern in AIDS even in the HAART era, especially in developing areas, where absolute majority of HIV-positive patients live. Lack of test facilities and experience, poor conditions of hygiene, different microbiological environment, absence of effective treatment etc., characterize the ophthalmic manifestation of HIV-infected patients in developing countries from that in developed regions and thus pose a great challenge to the ophthalmic treatment in developing area. Not only varied from region to region, ocular complications are distinctive between adults and children. At the same time, the side effects due to the application of HAART pose their own risks of ocular complication and should, therefore, be given more research attention.

Objective To discuss the CT characteristics of AIDS's brain common disease,so that to improve the diagnostic level.Methods CT features of brain lesions in 25 patients with AIDS were retrospectively analyzed.Results Acute HIV encephalitis(n=6),CT features included low density at the basis festival area and the ventriculi laterals,no enhancement on contrast-enhanced scan in 1 case.Subacute HIV brain illness(n=5),CT images showed different degree of atrophy.Toxoplasmosis(n=4),CT images showed iso-dense tubercles with edema in the deep part of brain white matter or iso-dense circle at the edema area.Cytomegalovirus encephalitis(n=3),CT images showed symmetrical low density at bilateral cerebral occipital lobe,internal capsule and thalamus.Progressive multifocal leukoencepathy(n=3),CT showed multiple low density at the inferior surface of brain cortex,the gyri close of focus was clearer,and far of tapetum room system.Mixed infectious(n=4),mixed CT characteristics.Conclusion CT is beneficial in the differential diagnosis of brain disease in AIDS.

Objective To study application of the quality management of Blood Cell Analyzer according to the requirement of biological variation determination.Methods Collected the indoor imprecision value(CV％) from 8 items detected by blood cell analyzer during from April to Nov.of 2016,and the bias (Bias％) of 8 items of two EQA (external quality assessment) from the ministry of health in 2016.Then according to the 3 levels of the minium,appropriate and optimal quality specifications derived from the biological variability the rates of imprecision and bias were culculated.The pass rate of the imprecision and bias was calculated.By using mean bias and mean imprecision and biological variation 3 levels of total error (TEa) crite rion,and to calculate the corresponding σ and QGI value,so as to evaluate the performance of whole blood cell analyzer.Then improved the quality.Results For the imprecision value of 8 items,except the MCHC average value,all others were all 100 ％ meeting the appropriate level of quality requirements.For the bias value (Bias ％) from 8 items,except MCH,all others were over 80 ％ meeting the appropriate level of quality requirements.While for the calculated σ value,based on the best level of quality requirements,except the σ value of WBC was 4.6,the σ value of all other items were all＜3.Based on the appropriate level of quality requirements,except the σvalue of MCHC was 1.9,the value of σ of all other items were all＞ 3,and based on the minimal requirements,the σ value of all 8 items were all ＞3.After analysis,this blood cell analyzer,except that MCHC should use the minimal quality standard requirements,all other examination items could used the proper quality standard requirements,and the calculated QGI were all ＜0.8.Conclusion Based on the biological variation determination requirement and calculated σ and QGI value,this method could be used to more accurate quality evaluation of blood cell ana lyzer.Which is a higher levelof quality management,will be more conducive to quality improvement and better serve the clinical.

[Objective]To forecast the sponge mechanism mediated by LOC389023 in patients with intractable temporal lobe epilepsy(TLE),through investigating the expression of microRNA interacted with dipeptidyl peptidase 10(DPP10)and LOC389023.[Methods]The expression of DPP10 and Kv4.3 were detected in 15 temporal neocortex from patients with brain trauma (control group)and in 26 temporal neocortex from patients with intractable TLE(epilepsy group)by western blot(WB)and immunohisto?chemical(IHC)staining. The location of DPP10 and voltage dependent potassium channel 4.3(Kv4.3)was detected by immunofluo?rescent(IF)staining. The interaction between DPP10 and Kv4.3 was testified by co-immunoprecipitation(Co-IP). The expression of microRNA obtained by softwares(miRanda,Pita,TargetScan and miRDB)was detected by qPCR.[Results]IHC and WB showed an increased expression of DPP10(P<0.05)and a decreased expression of Kv4.3(P<0.05)in the epilepsy group. IF showed that the DPP10 and the Kv4.3 co-expressed in the membrane and the cytoplasm of neurons. Co-IP showed obvious interaction between the DPP10 and the Kv4.3.Five microRNA(miR-32-5p,miR-140-5p,miR-367-3p,miR-25-3p,miR-4325)were obtained by soft?wares. No significant differences in the expression of miR-32-5p and miR-4325 were found between epilepsy group and control group by qPCR(P>0.05). But decreased expression of LOC389023 and miR-140-5p and increased expression of miR-25-3p and miR-367-3p were found in epilepsygroup compared to control group (P < 0.05).[Conclusion]miR-25-3p and miR-367-3p may be regulated by LOC389023 through the sponge mechanism followed by altered expression of DPP10 in intractable temporal lobe epilepsy.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) fingerprint of Rhodiola rosea medicinal materials was established, and used to distinguish the quality of raw materials from different sources. Pulse sequence for water peak inhibition was employed to acquire 1H-NMR spectra with the temperature at 298 K and spectrometer frequency of 400.13 MHz. Through subsection integral method, the obtained NMR data was subjected to similarity analysis and principal component analysis (PCA). 10 batches raw materials of Rhodiola rosea from different origins were successfully distinguished by PCA. The statistical results indicated that rhodiola glucoside, butyl alcohol, maleic acid and alanine were the main differential ingredients. This method provides an auxiliary method of Chinese quality approach to evaluate the quality of Rhodiola crenulata without using natural reference substances.

Background Surgery is regarded as the most effective treatment to relieve pain and reduce complications in chronic pancreatitis (CP).Two major strategies exist:duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR) and pancreatoduodenectomy (PD).Many studies suggest that DPPHR offers advantages during surgery and in the short-term; however,the long-term effects have not been thoroughly investigated.We analyzed the long-term outcomes of DPPHR and PD,over follow-up times of at least 1 year,to determine the optimal surgical treatment for CP.Methods We systemically reviewed all CP surgical treatment reports,and only included randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing DPPHR and PD,excluding unqualified studies using several pre-specified criteria.When multiple publications of a single trial were found,the most comprehensive current data were selected.Characteristics of the study populations and long-term postoperative outcome parameters were collected.The quality of the studies and data was analyzed using RevMan 4.2 software.Results Five trials were qualified for meta-analysis,with 261 participants in total (114 in the DPPHR group and 147 in the PD group).There were no significant differences in the age,gender,or indications for surgery of each group.At the mean of 5.7-year (1-14 years) follow-up examination,DPPHR and PD resulted in equally effective pain relief,exocrine and endocrine function,and similar mortality rates (P ＞0.05); however,DPPHR patients had improved global quality of life and weight gain,and reduced diarrhea and fatigue (P ＜0.05).Conclusion DPPHR and PD result in equal pain relief,mortality,and pancreatic function; however,DPPHR provides superior long-term outcomes.
