Along with the spread of human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) infection in the world and the emergence of drug-resistant viral strains, it is urgent to seek the novel potent therapies. Chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) is one of the main coreceptors involved in the entry of HIV-1 into target cells. Nowadays, a number of CCR5 antagonists have been developed and some of them have progressed to clinical trials or been approved. Research progress has also been made in the CCR5-targeted gene therapy. This review summarizes the recent research progress on the CCR5-targeted drug and gene therapy.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of thyroid transcription factor-1(TTF-1)and chromogranin A(CgA)in small cell lung cancer(SCLC). Methods The expressions of TTF-1 and CgA protein in 68 cases of SCLC tissues and 20 cases of normal lung tissues were examined by immunohistochemistry method,and their correlations with clinical features of SCLC were analyzed. Results The positive rates of TTF-1 and CgA protein in SCLC were 88. 2%(60 / 68)and 70. 6%(48 / 68),respec-tively,and they were higher than those in normal lung tissue[10. 0%(2 / 20)and 5. 0%(1 / 20);χ2 = 45. 442, P = 0. 000;χ2 = 26. 941,P = 0. 000]. The expression of TTF-1 protein was not related to the patients' age,sex and tumor size,while closely related to smoking index(χ2 = 4. 131,P = 0. 042),lymph node metastasis(χ2 =5. 488,P = 0. 019)and clinical stage(χ2 = 6. 011,P = 0. 014). The expression of CgA protein was not related to the patients' age,sex,tumor size and smoking index,while closely related to lymph node metastasis(χ2 =9. 895,P = 0. 002)and clinical stage(χ2 = 4. 145,P = 0. 042). Conclusion TTF-1 and CgA protein are highly expressed in SCLC,especially in the patients with lymph node metastasis and extensive disease.

OBJECTIVETo explore rest, cold compress and elevate (RICE) with rest, compress and elevate (RCE) without cold for the treatment of acute ankle sprain, in order to clear mid-term clinical effects.
METHODSEighty-nine patients with acute ankle sprains were collected from January 2013 to March 2014,including 30 males and 59 females aged from 18 to 60 years old with an average of 36 years old; the time from injury to hospital ranged from 3 to 24 h with an average of 9 h. All patients were divided into two groups according to visiting sequence. There were 45 patients in RICE group, and 45 patients in RCE groups. The main therapeutic effect index was evaluated by Karlsson scoring, and secondary therapeutic effect index was pain and satisfactory VAS scores. Safety index evaluated by adverse event.
RESULTSOn the 2nd weeks after injury, Karlsson score in RICE group was 44.66 ± 11.58, and 46.67 ± 8.52 in RCE group, while there was no statistical significance between two groups in Karlsson scores (P > 0.05). Karlsson score of two groups after treatment were higher than before treatment. There was no significantly meaning in pain and satisfactory VAS scores between two groups (P > 0.05). No adverse reaction were occurred between two groups.
CONCLUSIONCold compress did not receive much more final gains, and no evidence showed cold compress could affect recovery of joint function.

The resident standardized training is an important stage in clinical medical personnel training sys-tem. Medical ethics education and accomplishment is one of the main training contents in this stage is, the necessa-ry requirement for physician growth, and the effective guarantee for training organization and implementation. Learning for relevant theory of medical ethics is the basis of medical ethics education, and the medical practice is the fundamental way of medical ethics accomplishment. In medical practice, the inner perception is the gradual sublimation of medical ethics accomplishment. The formation of residents′ medical ethics quality is dominated by heteronomy and guided by medical morality code. It emphasizes more on self-regulating the ethical behaviors and abiding by medical ethics faith and standards.
