Objective:To investigate the influence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) combined with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection on the efficacy of anti-retroviral therapy (ART).Methods:The data of 269 HIV-infected patients treated in Chongqing Public Health Medical Center from September 2016 to October 2019 were collected. The patients were divided into HIV monoinfection group and HIV/HBV coinfection group. The changes in liver function, CD4 + T lymphocyte count, and HIV RNA level between the two groups were compared when ART started and at different time points (2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 96 weeks) after ART started. Statistical analysis were performed by independent sample t test, rank sum test and chi-square test. Results:A total of 145 patients with HIV monoinfection and 124 patients with HIV/HBV coinfection were collected. There were no statistically significant differences in liver function indexes (aspartate aminotransferase ( t=9.566), alanine aminotransferase ( t=-4.652) and total bilirubin ( t=-25.476)) between the two groups of patients when ART started (all P>0.05). At 24, 48 and 96 weeks after ART, the CD4 + T lymphocyte counts in the HIV monoinfection group and the HIV/HBV coinfection group were (305.9±156.9)/μL vs (266.2±172.5)/μL, (388.5±226.1)/μL vs (380.8±287.4)/μL and (369.5±191.4)/μL vs (453.6±179.6)/μL, respectively. At 48, 72 and 96 weeks after ART, the CD4 + T lymphocyte count increasing values were 121.0(-52.5, 144.5)/μL vs 156.0(-35.8, 185.8)/μL, 139.0(-116.0, 176.8)/μL vs 114.5(-59.5, 229.0)/μL and -91.0(-110.0, 153.3)/μL vs -94.0(-130.8, 114.3)/μL, respectively. The differences were all not statistically significant ( t=-0.516, -0.066 and -1.414, Z=-1.715、-0.802 and -1.602, respectively, all P>0.05). At 24, 48, and 96 weeks after ART, the HIV RNA inhibition rates in the HIV monoinfection group were 89.7%(130/145), 96.6%(140/145), and 96.6%(140/145), respectively, and those in the HIV/HBV coinfection group were 87.1%(108/124), 92.7%(115/124) and 94.4%(117/124), respectively. The differences were all not statistically significant ( χ2=0.026, 0.053 and 0.017, respectively, all P>0.05). In the second and fourth weeks after ART, the abnormal liver function rates of the HIV monoinfection group were 3.4%(5/145) and 6.2%(9/145), respectively, which were lower than those in the HIV/HBV coinfection group (21.0%(26/124) and 13.7%(17/124), respectively). The differences were both statistically significant ( χ2=20.121 and 4.309, respectively, both P<0.05). However, the abnormal liver function rates in the two group in the 8th week after ART were 10.3%(15/145) and 9.7%(12/124), respectively, and those in the 12th week were 9.0%(13/145) and 9.7%(12/124), respectively, and those in the 24th week were 9.7%(14/145) and 8.9%(11/124), respectively, and those in the 36th week were 9.7%(14/145) and 10.5%(13/124), respectively, and those in the 48th week were 8.3%(12/145) and 8.1%(10/124), respectively, and those in the 96th week were 2.8%(4/145) and 0(0/124), respectively. The differences were all not statistically significant ( χ2=0.330, 0.040, 0.049, 0.051, 0.004 and 3.472, respectively, all P>0.05). Conclusion:HBV coinfection has no adverse effect on the ART effect of HIV-infected patients.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in patients with autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP).

METHODSThe imaging findings of pancreas and extra-pancreas in 24 patients with AIP were retrospectively reviewed. Among them, CT scan was performed in 18 patients, MRI in 11, and bGth CT and MRI in 10.

RESULTSThe pancreas showed diffuse enlargement (25%, 6/24), focal enlargement (37. 5%, 9/24), combined enlargement (25%, 6/24) ,and no enlargement (12. 5%, 9/24). Unenhanced CT showed hypoattenuation in AIP area (n = 2) . After intravenous injection of contrast medium, 17 patients showed abnormal contrast enhancement in the affected pancreatic parenchyma, including hypoattenuation during the arterial phase (50%, 9/18) and hyper attenuation during the delayed phase (94. 4%, 17/18). Precontrast MRI showed abnormal signal intense (n =9), including hypointense on T1-weight images (T1 WI) (n = 7), hyperintense (n = 7) and hypointense (n = 2) on T2-weight images (TIWI). Enhanced MRI demonstrated abnormal contrast enhancement within lesions (n = 11), including hypoattenuation during the arterial phase (81. 8%, 9/11) and good enhancement during the delayed phase (100%, 11111). A capsule-like rim was seen around pancreas (37. 5%, 9/24), among which CT detected in 6 out of 18 patients and MRI found in 7 out of 11 patients.The main pancreatic duct lumen within lesions has no visualization (100%, 24/24) and upstream dilation of the main pancreatic duct (n = 8) , ranging from 2. 2 to 4. 5 mm(mean 3. 1 0. 47 mm) in diameter. Narrowing of the common bile duct was shown in 14 patients. Miscellaneous findings were: infiltration of extrapancreatic vein (n = 9) and artery (n = 1); mild fluid collection around pancreas (n = 2); pseudocysts (n = 3). Fourteen patients also presented one or more of the following extrapancreatic imaging findings: narrowing of the intra-hepatic bile duct or hilar duct (n = 5); thickening of gallbladder wall (n = 5); fibrosis in mesenteric (n = 2), in retroperitoneal (n = 2) and in ligamentum teres hepatis (n = 1); renal involvement (n = 3); peri-pancreatic or para-aortic lymphadenopathy (n = 10); and ulcerative colitis (n = 3).

CONCLUSIONAIP display some characteristic CT and MRI imaging features: sausage-like change of the pancreas; capsule-like rims around lesions; delayed contrast enhancement in the affected pancreatic parenchyma; segment or diffuse pancreatic duct stenosis but mild upstream dilation and extrapancreatic organs involvement. CT and MRI findings combining with serological tests and pancreas biopsy can assist physicians to make accurate and timely diagnosis.

Objective To report a case of foot hyalohyphomycosis due to Fusarium subglutinans. Methods Medical history was collected and physical examination performed for this patient.Biopsy samples were obtained from the inner side of right ankle of this patient and subjected to pathological examination. Discharge was collected from the lesions for direct microscopic examination and culture.Results A 72-year-old woman presented with an ulcer on the right foot for 3 years.Physical examination disclosed an ulcer,measuring 3 cm x 1.5 cm,with a moist surface and obvious tenderness,at the inner side of the right ankle.Proliferation of dusky-red granulomatous tissue was observed at the base of the ulcer.Pathological examination revealed necrotic granulomatous tissue and slender,septate and hyaline hypha-like structure in the superficial dermis with scattered infiltration of inflammatory cells.PAS staining showed sausage-like hypha and scattered orbicular-ovate spores.Microscopic examination of lesional discharge exhibited septate, branching and hyaline hypha.The isolated fungus was identified as Fusarium subglutinans by culture,and appeared to be highly sensitive to terbinafine,nystatin and amphotericin B.The lesion completely healed after 2 months of treatment with oral terbinafine (0.25 g,twice a day).Conclusions This is a case of foot hyalohyphomycosis due to Fusarium subglutinans,and terbinafine is effective for this condition.

To study the relationship between the interleukin (IL)6 -572G/C polymorphism and risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in men.A hospital-based case-control study was conducted with 500 male HCC patients without tumor history in other organs and 590 healthy male controls without history of tumors or chronic diseases. All HCC cases were diagnosed by histopathology. The controls were recruited from the Department of Orthopedic Trauma and Ophthalmology at the same hospital. The IL-6 promoter -572G/C polymorphism and its genotype variants were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. The Chi-squared test and unconditional logistic regression analyses were applied to determine the risk of HCC among men carrying the different genotype variants.The frequencies of alleles and distribution of genotypes in the -572G/C loci were not significantly different between the HCC cases and controls (P more than 0.05). The Chi-squared test indicated that the polymorphisms of the loci were not associated with HCC in our male population. However, after adjusting by multivariate logistic regression, the odds ratio (OR) of HCC for the G allele (CG + GG genotypes) carriers was 1.31 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.00 - 1.71) compared with the CC genotype. Among the male HBV carriers, the CG genotype increased HCC risk significantly (OR = 1.60, 95% CI: 1.14 - 2.24) compared with the CC genotype. A trend test indicated that HCC risk was significantly increased with the numbers of G alleles (P trend less than 0.05). Breslow-Day tests of homogeneity of the ORs indicated an interaction between hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and polymorphisms of IL-6 (P less than 0.05). The synthetic odds ratio (OReg) of HBV infection and harboring a G allele was 5.95 (95% CI: 3.99-8.87), which represented a super multiplication interaction.Polymorphism of the IL-6 promoter -572 loci may be associated with HCC occurrence in men. Moreover, there is a super multiplication interaction for HCC risk between HBV infection and harboring the IL-6 G allele.

As to terrible triad injury of elbow joint, because of the complexity of the surrounding anatomy of the elbow joint, the limited biomechanical study, the difficult treatments, and the poor prognosis, the choice of the treatment scheme is still controversial. This article summarizes the anatomy, injury mechanism, surgical treatment and prognosis of elbow joint by retrieving a large number of references. Currently, there are various surgical treatments for triad injury of elbow joint, but due to individual differences, the clinical efficacy is mostly uncertain. In the treatment of triad injury of elbow joint, most orthopedics doctors still choose the lateral surgical approach to fix the coronary fracture, repair or replace the radial head, routinely repair the lateral collateral ligament, and not recommend to repair the medial collateral ligament, so it still remains to be discussed.
