Background At present,researches about retinitis and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) mainly focus on observation and analysis of the cytomegalovirus (CMV)-induced ocular complication.To screen the effective drugs is very important for the treatment of AIDS-related CMV-induced retinitis.Objective This study was to describe the clinical features,diagnosis and treatment outcome of CMV-induced retinitis with BAY 38-4766 and evaluate the relationship between CMV retinitis and AIDS.Methods This was a case observational study.A total of 154 eyes of 84 patients with CMV retinitis and AIDS were enrolled in this study.Before the definitive diagnosis of CMV retinitis,the AIDS course of these patients were 4-26 months.In the initial examination,the visual acuity ranged from finger counting to 0.4,and the number of CD4+ T-lymphocyte was 0-30 cells/μl.The survival time in the patients ranged from 3 weeks to 18 months.BAY 38-4766 was used in 117 eyes of 62 patients,and 102 eyes of 53 patients showed the srinked of retinal lesion and improvement of vision (0.1-0.7).BAY 38-4766 was used to treat the CMV retinitis in 117 eyes of 62 patients with the initial intravenous dose of 5 mg/kg,twice per day for consecutive 2 weeks and followed by oral dose 1 gram per day.The follow-up duration was 2 weeks to 18 months.The fundus feature,visual acuity and CD4+ T-lymphocyte counts were analyzed.This study proposal was approved by Ethic Committee of the 474th Hospital of PLA,and written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to entering this study.Results The numbers of CD4+T-lymphocytes increased to 12-402 eells/μl after administration of BAY 38-4766.The CMV retinitis aggravated and the vision decreased in the untreated 22 patients with the CD4+T-lymphocytes 0-30 cells/μl.Conclusions CMV retinitis is the most common intraocular complication in patients with AIDS.Diagnosis of CMV retinitis is based on the characteristics of necrotizing retinitis,which is typically associated with retinal hemorrhage and vasculitis.BAY 38-4766 is an effective drug for the treatment of CMV retinitis.

OBJECTIVE To enhance the rational usage of antimicrobial agents in hospitalized patients by comprehensive interventional measures in clinics.METHODS The selected indictors recommended by WHO were applied to evaluate the use of antimicrobial agents in hospitalized patients.The hospital information was gained from hospital administration section.The prescription and treatment data were collected from the discharged patients′ medical history.Intervention was involved in managerial and educational strategies.RESULTS After intervention,the average number of antimicrobial agents prescribed per inpatient fell from 2.13 to 1.97.The average cost of antimicrobial agents prescribed per inpatient fell from 1765.23 yuan to 1136.18 yuan(P

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of microwave ablation and surgical resection for the treatment of early primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods The Cochrane Library, Medline,PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang database, VIP database were searched with the key words of tumor, liver cancer, primary hepatic carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC,surgery, surgical, surgical resection, liver resection, hepatic resection, thermal ablation, percutaneous thermal ablation, microwave coagulation, microwave ablation, 肝癌, 原发性肝癌, 肝细胞癌, 手术, 切除, 手术切除, 肝切除, 微波, 热消融, 微波治疗, 微波凝固, 微波消融 between the database establishment and February 2015.Chinese and English literatures on microwave ablation and surgical resection for the treatment of early primary HCC were retrieved, and data were extracted and analyzed by 2 independent researchers.All the patients were divided into the microwave ablation group and the surgical resection group.Measurement data were represented by the standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95％ confidence interval (CI), and count data were represented by the odds ratio (OR) and 95％ CI.Heterogeneity of the publication was analyzed using the I2 test.Results Seven literature including 6 retrospective cohort studies and 1 randomized controlled trial were retrieved, and total sample size were 993 patients including 648 in the microwave ablation group and 345 in the surgical resection group.There were significant differences in the volume of blood loss and duration of postoperative hospital stay between the2groups (SMD=-5.03,-1.74, 95％ CI:-6.21-3.85,-2.21--1.28, P＜0.05).There were no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications, 1-, 3-year overall survival rates, 1-, 3-year tumor-free survival rates and 1-, 2-, 3-year recurrence rates between the 2 groups (OR =1.57, 1.10, 1.20,0.77, 1.23, 1.32, 2.31, 1.39, 95％CI: 0.25-9.78, 0.43-2.86, 0.70-2.06, 0.19-3.12, 0.54-2.81,0.62-2.80, 0.96-5.55, 0.47-4.14, P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The safety, feasibility and clinical efficacy of microwave ablation for the treatment of early primary HCC is comparable to surgical resection, and microwave ablation has the advantages of lesser blood loss and shorter duration of hospital stay.

Objective To study the effect of Fas gene transfection on rectal carcinoma cells in vitro. Methods By using RT-PCR technique, a full length of Fas gene 1007 bp was cloned from actived peripheral mononuclear cells of healthy donors. The fragment was ligated with the pGEM-T Easy and sequenced. The constructed vector was transfected into 8348 cells with lipofectin, the change in expression of Fas gene was determined by RT-PCR. The apoptosis and proliferation of rectal carcinoma cells pre- and posttransfection induced by cisplatin were analysed by ladder and MTT methods. Results Transfection of Fas gene significantly upregulates the expression of Fas in human rectal carcinoma 8348 cells. With the concentration of cisplatin at the level of 1, 5, 10, 20 and 40 mg/L , respectively, the suppression rates of Fas transfection group and control group were 47.2%51.8%57.2%65.4%71.0% and 29.6%33.0%37.8%41.4%47.0% respectively(t=15.33, P
