Objective To investigate the risk factors of hypersensitivity induced by compound sulfamethoxazole (Co-SMZ)in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)infection.Methods A retrospective study was performed in 111 patients with HIV infection receiving prophylactic Co-SMZ at the Department of Infectious Diseases,the Third People′s Hospital of Nantong City,Jiangsu Province from January 2014 to December 2014.Data including age,gender,interval time from diagnosis of HIV infection to hospitalization,history of drug allergy,and the counts of CD3 + T cell,CD4 + T cell,CD8 + T cell and natural killer (NK)cell on the day when the medicine was administrated for the first time were recorded. All the patients were followed up for two months.Student t test was used in data with normal distribution or approximate normal distribution.Rank sum test was used in data with skew distribution.The count materials were examined byχ2 test.Results Among the 111 patients with HIV infection,there were 107 males and 4 females with average age of (45 .7±11 .1)years old.The interval time from taking Co-SMZ to hypersensitivity was (14.0±7.6)d.There were differences in the counts of CD4 + T cell and NK cell between patients with hypersensitivity and without hypersensitivity (both P <0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that NK cell was a risk factor for inducing hypersensitivity (OR=1 .010,95 %CI :1 .005 -1 .017, P =0.001).The area under of receiver operating characteristic curve predicting hypersensitivity induced by Co-SMZ was 0.748 (95 %CI :0.647-0.850,Z =4.701 ,P =0.001).The best predictor was 109.80/μL with sensitivity of 63.2% and specificity of 84.7%.Conclusion In patients with HIV infection,NK cell might be associated with hypersensitivity induced by Co-SMZ.

Objective:To analyze the prevalence of influenza B virus and its HA and NA genes characteristics during 2017—2020 in Songjiang district, Shanghai.Methods:Samples from suspected cases of influenza were detected using real-time fluorescence reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Influenza B virus positive specimens were cultured by MDCK cells and embryonated chicken eggs. The hamagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) genes of influenza virus B strains were sequenced and analyzed for gene evolution and amino acid variation. The sensitivity of the strains to oseltamivir and zanamivir was studied by neuraminidase inhibition assay.Results:The positive rate of influenza B virus in Songjiang district from 2017 to 2020 was 14.24% (506/3554). Influenza B virus circulated mainly in winter-spring season and alternated between B/Victoria and B/Yamagata subtypes. Subclade 1A (△3) B was the predominant Victoria lineage circulating in Songjiang district. Otherwise, the remaining strains belonged to subclade 1A(△2)and clade 1A. Compared with vaccine strain B/Brisbane/60/2008, the nucleotide homology of circulating strains HA (NA) was 97.62%~98.19% (98.11%~98.78%). The mutations of HA in 1A (△3) B subclade mainly were in 120 loop and 160 loop. All the Yamagata strains circulating in Songjiang district belonged to clade 3. Compared with vaccine strain B/Phuket/3073/2013, the nucleotide homology of HA and NA were 98.71%~99.04% and 98.69%~99.27%, respectively. No amino acid change was found in the antigenic clusters. Neuraminidase inhibition assay showed that the influenza B virus strains were sensitive to both oseltamivir and zanamivir.Conclusions:Inconsistence of the antigenicity between the vaccine strains and the circulating strains during 2017—2020, influenza B virus should be persistently monitored, including the epidemic situation and the etiological characteristics, which might be helpful in vaccine screening and drug development.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanism of Fuke duanhongyin capsule in improving dysfunctional uterine bleeding （DUB） in rats. METHODS Pregnant SD rats were randomly divided into blank control group （distilled water）， model control group （distilled water） and Fuke duanghongyin capsule group （1.296 g/kg）， with 6 rats in each group. Except for blank control group， DUB model was established in other groups. After modeling， they were given relevant medicine/distilled water 10 mL/kg intragastrically， once a day， for consecutive 14 d. After medication， uterine index， ovary index and hemorheology indexes （whole blood high shear relative index， whole blood low shear relative index， erythrocyte aggregation index， Carson viscosity） of rats were all determined. The pathological changes of uterus and ovary tissues were observed； mRNA relative expression levels of epidermal growth factor （EGF）， hypoxia-inducible factor 1α （HIF-1α）， epidermal growth factor receptor （EGFR） and serine/ threonine-protein kinase 1（AKT1）， and protein relative expression levels of EGF and EGFR in uterine tissue were all measured. RESULTS Compared with model control group， the uterine index， ovary index， erythrocyte aggregation index were all decreased significantly in Fuke duanghongyin capsule group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）； whole blood high shear relative indexes， mRNA relative expression levels of EGF， HIF-1α and EGFR and protein relative expression levels of EGF and EGFR in uterine tissue were all increased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. The pathological changes of ovary and uterus were improved. CONCLUSIONS Fuke duanhongyin capsule can improve DUB in rat， the mechanism of which may be related to the activation of EGF-EGFR signaling pathway.
