Umbilical venous catheterization (UVC) is associated with many complications, such as displacement of the catheter, infection, exudation, thrombosis, pericardial effusion/pleural effusion, of which central line-associated bloodstream infections has been of long-standing interest. There is currently no optimal method for estimating the depth of UVC insertion. Ultrasound examination can be used to evaluate the position of the end of the tube after catheterization to avoid organ damage and complications caused by displacement and dislocation. However, whilst it is known that there is a correlation between the duration of UVC and central line-associated bloodstream infection, a consensus is yet to be reached regarding the optimal duration of UVC retention. More, high quality evidence through multi-center, prospective randomized controlled study is needed.

Objective To study the prevalence of HIV-1 drug-resistant strains in antiretroviral therapy-naive HIV-1 infectors,and provide background information for HIV-1 drug resistance survey and clin-ical antiretroviral therapy in Beijing in 2008. Methods Referring to the guidelines for HIV drug resistance threshold survey(HIVDR-TS) of WHO, collecting 60-70 plasma samples of HIV-1 infectors who were detec-ted in 6 months and not more than 25 years,we detected HIV-1 pol genotype and genetic mutations associated with drug resistance,counted the prevalence of drug-resistant strains, and evaluated the prevalent level. Re-Sults Of 61 plasma samples answering for the standards, 50 were successfully sequenced and genotyped pol sequence. The major infection route was homosex, which accounted for 62%. B, CRF01_AE, and CRF07_ BC were major genetic subtype, which accounted for 42%, 28% and 26%, respectively. One Pl-resistant strain was found, the incidence of which was 2% (1/50). One NRTI-resistant strain was found, the inci-dence of which was 2% (1/50). No NRTI-resistant strain was found, the incidence of which was 0. The in-cidence of drug-resistant strains in the protease (PR) region was 2%, and the incidence of reverse tran-scriptase (RT) region was also 2%. Both of the prevalence were classified as low level ( <5% ). Conclu-sion PR, RT-resistant HIV-1 strains were found in drug-naive infectors, and the prevalence was low in Beijing. Current antiretrovirai therapy regiments were still feasible. Most of the AIDS patients did not need to test drug resistance before antiretroviral therapy.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of exogenous Ca2+ on photosynthetic parameters of Pinellia ternate and accumulations of active components under high temperature stress.
METHODThe pigment contents of P. ternata leaves, photosynthesis parameters and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters of P. ternata leaves, the contents of guanosine, adenosine and polysaccharide in P. ternata tubers were measured based on different concentrations of exogenous Ca2+ in heat stress when the plant height of P. ternata was around 10 cm.
RESULTThe contents of total chlorophyll and ratio of chlorophyll a/b were relatively higher by spaying Ca2+. Compared with the control, spaying 6 mmol x L(-1) Ca2+ significantly enhanced the net photosynthetic rate (Pn), transpiration (Tr) and stomatal limitation (L8), but reduced intercellular CO2 concentration (C) in P. ternata leaves. With the increase of Ca2+ concentration, maximal PS II efficiency (Fv/Fm), actual photosynthetic efficiency (Yield) and photochemical quenching coefficient (qP) initially increased and then decreased, however, minimal fluorescence (Fo) and non-photochemical quenching coefficient (NPQ) went down first and then went up. The contents of guanosine and polysaccharide and dry weight of P. ternata tubers showed a tendency of increase after decrease, and the content of adenosine increased with the increase of Ca2+ concentration. The content of guanosine and polysaccharide in P. ternata tubers and its dry weight reached maximum when spaying 6 mmol x L(-1) Ca2+.
CONCLUSIONWith the treatment of calcium ion, the inhibition of photosynthesis and the damage of PS II system were relieved in heat stress, which increased the production of P. ternata tubers.

OBJECTIVETo elucidate the relationship between HBV core promoter mutation and clinical features as well as its effects on serum e system and viral replication.
METHODSSemi-nested mutation specific PCR (msPCR) was employed for detecting core promoter mutation at nt 1 762-1 764 in 97 patients with HBV infection.
RESULTSThe msPCR method was demonstrated to be specific and reliable for the mutation detection by sequencing the PCR products. The detection ratio of the mutation in patients with acute hepatitis, mild, moderate and severe chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis was 2/5, 7/43, 10/31, 1/3 and 7/15, respectively. The detection rate of the mutation in liver cirrhosis was significantly higher than that in light chronic hepatitis (P < 0.025). In 92 patients with chronic HBV infection, HBeAg positive rate in wild (25/92), mutant (42/92) and mixed (25/92) strain infection was 80.0%, 56.0% and 64.3%, HBV DNA level was (4.4 +/- 8.5) x 10(8), (1.1 +/- 1.6) x 10(9) and (1.4 +/- 1.8) x 10(9) copies/ml, the rate of abnormal ALT was 44.0%, 52.0% and 42.6%; ALT level was (58.6 +/- 79.0), (57.1 +/- 75.2) and (62.6 +/- 90.3) IU/L, respectively (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSThe msPCR method for detecting core promoter mutation at nt 1 762-1 764 is specific and reliable. Core promoter mutation is associated with the severity of liver disease, but neither related to the status of e system in serum nor to the virus replication.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of Huchang Qingfei concentrated pellets on the expression of E-cadherin (E-cd) in the lung tissue from mice infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP).
METHODA mice model of Mycoplasmal pneumonia (MPP) was developed by repeatedly intranasal infectious route. Transmission electronic microscope (TEM) and immunohistochemistry stain were performed to observe the pathological changes and expression of E-cd in lung tissues.
RESULTUnder TEM it was found that the cellular membrane was ruptured, mitochondria was denatured, crista was broken in the pulmonary cells of the model group; the all above parameters in Huchang medicated group were improved obviously. The immunohistochemistry test showed that strong positive brown stain of E-cd expression was found in the pulmonary epithelial cell membrane and bronchial periphery in the model group, however, in the medicated group, the E-cd expression level in the cellular membrane was decreased and the expression ratio was dropped significantly as compared with the model controls.
CONCLUSIONHuchang Qingfei concentrated pellets can inhibit the overexpression of E-cd in the lung tissue of mice with MP-infection, which may be helpful for prevention and treatment of pulmonary injury caused by MPP.
