Objective To understand the impact of early and timely treatment and initial antiviral treatment regimen on mortality and attrition of antiretroviral therapy. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted using download data on antiretroviral therapy for HIV-infected patients in Liuzhou City, Guangxi Province, from the database of the Basic Information System for AIDS Control and Prevention (BISAC) from 2010 to 2020. The Cox proportional risk regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of mortality and attrition. Results A total of 15 713 infected patients were included, including 53.4% aged 18-<50 years, 69.4% male, 61.0% farmer, 75.1% CD4 count <350 cells /μL before initial antiviral treatment, the overall mortality rate was 4.30/100 person-years, and the overall attrition was 2.42/100 person-years. The results of Cox regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of mortality were pretreatment CD4 counts of 350-<500 cells/μL(AHR=0.72, 95%CI: 0.63-0.81) and ≥500 cells/μL (AHR= 0.64, 95%CI: 0.55-0.76); duration from diagnosis to initial antiviral treatment 91-180 days (AHR=1.25, 95%CI: 1.08-1.45), 181-365 days (AHR=1.26, 95%CI: 1.08-1.47), and ≥365 days (AHR=1.26, 95%CI: 1.11-1.44); initial antiviral treatment regimens of D4T+3TC+EFV/NVP (AHR=1.47, 95%CI: 1.32-1.63) and AZT/D4T/TDF+3TC+LPV/r (AHR=1.73, 95%CI: 1.50-1.99). Factors affecting attrition were pretreatment CD4 counts of 350-499 cells/μL (AHR=1.32, 95%CI: 1.16-1.50) and ≥500 cells/μL (AHR=1.28, 95%CI: 1.10-1.50); interval from HIV positivity confirmation to initial dosing ≥365 days (AHR=1.21, 95%CI: 1.04-1.40), initial antiviral treatment regimens of TDF+3TC+NVP (AHR=1.32, 95%CI: 1.13-1.55), AZT+3TC+EFV/NVP (AHR=1.43, 95%CI: 1.26-1.62) and AZT/D4T/TDF+3TC+LPV/r (AHR=1.33, 95CI%: 1.06-1.67). Conclusions Early and timely treatment and the initial antiviral treatment regimen of TDF+3TC+EFV have good efficacy, but attention should be paid to the high risk of attrition of HIV-infected people with high CD4 count before treatment.

“Stasis generating deficiency” is considered to be an important pathogenesis of recurrence after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). Blood stasis is commonly seen after ablation together with various pathogens such as phlegm-fire, qi stagnation and retained fluid, and will lead to depletion of zang-fu (脏腑) organs and then the failure of the nourishment of the heart. Therefore, it is advised to emphasize on the importance of considering zang-fu organs depletion caused by blood stasis and various excess pathogens in dealing with the recurrence after catheter ablation. The method of dissolving stasis and supplementing deficiency simultaneously has been proposed before catheter ablation, and it is critical to calm heart and dissolve stasis, regulate and supplement internal deficiency so as to prevent the postoperative recurrence of AF. For recurrence of AF after ablation, attention should be paid to dissolving stasis and dispelling pathogens, regulating vessels and supplementing deficiency, as well as the excess pathogens such as stasis binding and phlegm fire, stasis binding and qi stagnation, stasis binding and retained fluid, and the depletion of zang-fu organs should be considered. Accordingly, the method of dissolving stasis and dispelling phlegm, subduing fire and unblocking vessels, regulating and supplementing heart and spleen; dissolving stasis and move stagnation, unblocking qi and blood, supplementing lung and boosting qi; dispelling stasis and dissolving rheum, warming yang and activating blood, consolidating the root and nourishing heart can be used respectively, so as to treat both the root and the branch simultaneously.

Coronary microcirculation disorder after myocardial ischemia reperfusion (MIR) is a prominent problem in the treatment of coronary heart disease. According to the physiological commonality between “collaterals-sweat pore qi and fluid” and coronary microcirculation, and the evolution of the course of MIR, it is believed that “heart collateral stasis obstruction, sweat pore constraint and block” is the cause of coronary microcirculation disorder. The evolution of the pathogenesis can be divided into three periods. During the myocardial ischemia period, the pathogenesis is heart collaterals obstruction and sweat pores empty, while during the ischemia reperfusion period, it is internal formulation of deficiency wind, spasms of collaterals or slight heart collaterals obstruction; in the coronary microcirculation disorder period, sweat pores constraint and block, constraint transforming into heat, qi and fluid failing to diffuse are the pathogenesis. The corresponding treatment principle is assisting dredge with supplementation, and supplementing deficiency to dispel stasis; treating wind and blood simultaneously, and extinguishing wind to arrest convulsion; clearing heat and cooling blood, and diffusing qi and unblocking qi and fluid. Moreover, it is recommended to treat the heart and lungs simultaneously, and regulate the heart and liver at the same time.

ObjectiveTo review the ancient and modern literature of Huanglian Ejiaotang and learn about the historical evolution and clinical application, thereby providing a theoretical basis for the modern application of the classical prescription. MethodLiterature in the Chinese Medical Classics Database was retrieved with "Huanglian Ejiaotang" as the keyword. In China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and PubMed, "Huanglian Ejiaotang" in Chinese and English was used as the keyword to retrieve literature. The items and modern clinical application studies related to the prescription, medicine, dosage, syndrome, and treatment of Huanglian Ejiaotang were selected and recorded. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were used to screen out literature. The information about the dynasty, book title, function, and indication was integrated to understand the history, evolution, and clinical application of Huanglian Ejiaotang. ResultFinally, 89 ancient books were included with 111 items. Huanglian Ejiaotang was initially recorded in ZHANG Zhongjing's Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases in the Han dynasty. It was composed of five herbs, namely Coptidis Rhizoma, Scutellariae Radix, Paeoniae Radix Alba, Asini Corii Colla, and egg yolk. With the change of historical dynasties, the composition, origin basis, dosage, and preparation method of Huanglian Ejiaotang all changed, but the changes in the processing were not obvious, which was basically consistent with Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases. In addition, 48 studies were included to analyze the clinical application of Huanglian Ejiaotang, which was mainly used for insomnia, anxiety, depression, diabetes, and so on. ConclusionAccording to the ancient and modern literature, the origin basis, dosage, processing, decoction, administration, and other content of Huanglian Ejiaotang are consistent with Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases. The present clinical application has expanded the usage scale of the ancient record, which promotes the innovation and development of the classic prescription and provides references for later research, development, and accurate application.

Objective:To investigate the pelvic floor muscle functioning of persons with pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) at different ages in order to provide a reference for clinical treatment.Methods:A total of 580 PFD patients were divided into group A ( n=163, ≤29 years old), Group B ( n=161, 30-39), Group C ( n=114, 40-49), Group D ( n=128, 50-59) and Group E ( n=14, ≥60 years old). All were given a surface electromyography (sEMG) examination of their pelvic floor muscles. Average sEMG amplitude and its variability were recorded in the pre-resting and post-resting stages. The maximum sEMG amplitude and its rise time and recovery time during rapid contraction of pelvic floor muscles were recorded. Average sEMG amplitude and variability were also recorded during slow muscle contraction. The observations were correlated with the age. Results:Significant differences among the 5 groups were found in all of the measurements. Spearman correlation analysis showed that age was positively correlated with the variation in the sEMG amplitudes in the pre-resting stage, with the rise time and with the recovery time. Age also correlated with the maximum sEMG amplitude in the rapid stage, the variation of the EMG amplitude in the slow-muscle stage, and the EMG amplitude in the post-resting stage. But it was negatively correlated with the average sEMG amplitude during pelvic floor contraction.Conclusions:The stability and coordination of the pelvic floor muscles gradually deteriorates with age. The rate of activation and recovery become slower, with prolonged recruitment, slower response and poor excitability.

Objective:To explore the application value of sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia in mitral valve replacement.Methods:A total of 94 patients who underwent mitral valve replacement in our hospital (October 2016-October 2018) were randomly divided into the control group ( n=47) and the observation group ( n=47). The control group received target-controlled infusion of propofol, and the observation group inhaled sevoflurane.The postoperative conditions [intensive care unit (ICU) stay time, extubation time of tracheal tube, spontaneous cardiac rebound], hemodynamic indexes [mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR)], serum creatine phosphokinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the two groups were analyzed. The patients were followed up for one month. The incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) was calculated. Results:⑴ Postoperative situation: the time of stay in ICU and extubation of tracheal tube in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group, and the rate of spontaneous cardiac rebound (93.62%) was higher than that in the control group (72.34%) ( P<0.05); ⑵ Hemodynamic index level: there was no statistically significant difference in MAP and HR levels between two groups before operation, before cardiopulmonary bypass, after cardiopulmonary bypass, and after operation ( P>0.05); ⑶ CK-MB and cTnI: the levels of serum CK-MB and cTnI in the two groups were higher at 2, 6, 24, and 48 h after aortic cross-clamp release than before anesthesia induction, but the indicators of the observation group were lower than those in the control group; ⑷ MDA and SOD: the serum SOD level in the two groups at 2, 6, 24, and 48 h after aortic cross-clamp release were lower than before anesthesia induction, and the MDA level in the two groups at 2, 6, 24, and 48 h after aortic cross-clamp release were higher than before anesthesia induction. The level of SOD in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, and the level of MDA was lower than that in the control group ( P<0.05); ⑸ MACE: the incidence of MACE in the observation group (12.77%) was lower than that of the control group (29.79%) ( P<0.05). Conclusions:During mitral valve replacement, sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia can maintain hemodynamic stability. The duration of ICU stay and tracheal tube extubation time is shorter, and the fluctuation of serum CK-MB, cTnI, MDA and SOD is small, and it can reduce the risk of MACE.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) eyedrops for the treatment of moderate to severe dry eye disease (DED).Methods:A total of 395 patients (790 eyes) with moderate to severe DED diagnosed and treated in the Armed Police Liaoning Corps Hospital and the PLA 967 Hospital from March 2018 to October 2019 were collected. Random number table method was used to divide into autologous PRP treatment group (196 cases, 392 eyes) treated with autologous PRP and control group (199 cases, 398 eyes) treated with artificial tears. The changes of subjective symptoms of DED, Schirmer test (ST), corneal fluorescein staining (CFS) and Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) before and after treatment were observed in both groups.Results:After 1 course of treatment, the ST values of both groups increased, which was statistically significant compared with before treatment ( P<0.05). After treatment, the OSDI and CFS scores of the two groups were reduced. The difference in OSDI and CFS scores of the PRP treatment group before and after treatment was statistically significant ( P<0.05), and there was no statistically significant difference in the control group before and after treatment ( P>0.05). After treatment, the OSDI and CFS scores of the PRP treatment group were lower than those of the control group [(16.8 ± 18.7) scores vs. (43.2 ± 14.5) scores, (0.21 ± 0.53) scores vs. (1.62 ± 0.69) scores], the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). After one course of treatment, the total effective rate of the autologous PRP treatment group was higher than that of the control group [80.1% (157/196) vs. 51.76% (103/196)], the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Autologous PRP can treat patients with moderate-to-severe autologous PRP treatment group, which can greatly improve patients' eye discomfort and other symptoms.

Objective To design and construct a new non-fusion soluble expression vector pTIG-mSUMO(small ubiq-uitin-related modifier) using the widely used solubility promoting protein SUMO and based on the translational coupling phenomenon in order to enable the non-fusion soluble expression of the broad-spectrum antiviral protein RA in Escherichia coli by pTIG-mSUMO.Methods The smt3 gene coding for SUMO protein was cloned from yeast genome DNA by PCR. After directed-site silent mutation to eliminate the EcoRⅠsite, the mutant mSUMO was inserted into pET-22b to obtain the translational coupling expression vector pTIG-mSUMO.The RA was subject to PCR amplification and cloned into the pTIG-mSUMO to obtain the expression plasmid pTIG-mSUMO/RA which was supposed to direct the soluble expression of RA by the translational coupling with mSUMO.Results A translational coupling expression vector pTIG-mSUMO which could di-rect/drive the SUMO and heterogonous protein non-fusion expression simultaneously was designed and constructed.The Western blotting result indicated that pTIG-mSUMO could direct the high-level expression of RA, around 40%of which was soluble.Conclusion A translational coupling expression vector pTIG-mSUMO is obtained.After coupling with SUMO, RA is highly expressed in E.coli and both the expression level and solubility are greatly improved.pTIG-mSUMO might contrib-ute to soluble expression of other proteins.
