ABSTRACT:Objective To construct V-set and immunoglobulin domain containing 4 (Vsig4)nanobodies (Nbs) as specific macrophage probes so as to use them as molecular probes of macrophagocytes.Methods A nanobody phage library was generated by using peripheral blood lymphocytes isolated from an alpaca immunized with recombinant Vsig4 protein.After three rounds of selection against recombinant Vsig4.The Nbs were subjected to sequencing and genome alignment to obtain VHH sequence.Nbs were isolated and tested for Vsig4 specificity in an ELISA using recombinant Vsig4.The affinity capacity of Nbs was verified by the cell line stably expressing Vsig4. Results A nanobody phage library with an estimated 7.27 × 107 clones with 70% insertion was successfully constructed.Totally 1 3 6 Vsig4-positive clones were sequenced and aligned according to different CDR3 sequences. In summary,1 5 Vsig4 nanobodies were obtained and grouped into 3 different CDR3 epitopes.The affinity of representing nanobody and Vsig4 was analyzed via ELISA;Nb1 1 9 showed the highest affinity against both recombinant and native Vsig4.Conclusion We successfully constructed and screened Vsig4 specific nanobody number 1 1 9 with high affinity and specificity.It can help with macrophage detection and in vivo monitoring.

Objective To describe the status quo of position rotation in self-injection of insulin, and explore its influencing factors, so as to provide the basis for regulating the rotation of injection. Methods A convenient sample of 176 patients coming from endocrinology in a third grade first-class hospital were surveyed by self-designed self-injection of insulin in patients with site rotation behavior questionnaire survey. Results 176 diabetics of their own insulin injection site rotation score was 12-27 (17.79 ± 2.81) points. The age, knowledge sources, the numbers of injection sites were mainly influence to insulin injection site rotation factor score. Conclusions Diabetics insulin injection site rotation behaviors is not standard, rotation of different parts is worrying. It is necessary to strengthen the education and guidance of the site rotation of the patients.

Objective:To construct eukaryotic expression plasmids of pneumocystis carinii p55-v3 and p55-v0 antigenic genes and to identify their expression in COS-7 cells at mRNA level.Methods:Pneumocystis carinii total RNA was used as the template to amplify p55-v3 and p55-v0 antigenic gene by RT-PCR.The products were connected to pTA2 vector and then cloned in pVAX1 eukaryotic expression vector to construct recombinant plasmids as pVAX-p55-v3 and pVAX-p55-v0.After propagated in E.coli DH5α,the recombinant plasmids were transfected into COS-7 cells.After 24 h incubation,the RT-PCR was performed to identify the mRNA expression of p55-v3 and p55-v0 antigenic gene.Results:The recombinant plasmids were qualified by restrictive endonuclease digestion and sequencing.And when compared with that in GenBank,the homology of p55-v3 antigenic gene was 99.9% in nucleotides and 100% in amino acid.The homology between p55-v0 antigenic gene and the one reported previously in nucleotide and amino acid seguence were 99.8% and 100%.The results of RT-PCR confirmed that p55-v3 and p55-v0 antigenic genes were transfected into COS-7 cells successfully and the genes were expressed in the cells.Conclusion:In this study,the recombinant plasmids of pVAX-p55-v3 and pVAX-p55-v0 are conducted successfully and expressed in the COS-7 cells,which provide a basis for clarification of immunologic function of p55-v3 and study of DNA vaccine.

Objective: To analyze first follow-up and CD₄⁺ T (CD₄) cell count test of newly reported students HIV cases in China from 2013 to 2017. Methods: Data were collected from both Case Reporting Cards and Follow-up Cards from China Information System for HIV/AIDS Control and Prevention between 1^st January 2013 and 31^st December 2017. The inclusion criteria are 15-24 years old students who were newly diagnosed with HIV infection. Logistic regression model was used to analyze relevant factors of the first CD₄ test results less than 200 CD₄ cells/μl. Results: There were 12 037 newly diagnosed students HIV cases from 2013 to 2017. Most cases were male (97.7%), 19-22 years old (65.1%) and Han ethnicity (90.5%). At the time of diagnosis, the route of HIV infection was most frequently homosexual contact (82.2%). The majority of cases (46.9%) were diagnosed at HIV voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) location. About 2 465 (20.6%) students had unprotected intercourse in the past 3 months, of which 1 387 (56.8%) had 1 sexual partner, 610 (25.0%) with 2 sexual partners, 273 (11.2%) with 3 partners and 170 (7.0%) with more than 4 partners. 11.0% and 28.9% of cases had initial CD₄ counts less than 200 cells/μl and 200-349 cells/μl. Compared to the male, younger than 18 years old and diagnosed at VCT location, female (OR=2.09, 95%CI: 1.51-2.89), aged 21 to 22 years (OR=1.25, 95%CI: 1.06-1.47), diagnosed in hospital settings (OR=2.20, 95%CI: 1.89-2.57) and preoperative testing (OR=1.36, 95%CI: 1.07-1.73) had greater proportion of the first CD₄ test result less than 200 CD₄ cells/μl. Conclusion The number of newly diagnosed students HIV cases significantly increased in past 5 years, and the proportion of late diagnosis was high. Female, aged 21 to 22 years, diagnosed in hospital settings and preoperative testing were related to the first CD₄ test result less than 200 CD₄ cells/μl.

Objective: To analyze timeline of antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation among newly diagnosed HIV/AIDS from 2010 to 2014, as well as influencing factors. Methods: Data from the Chinese HIV/AIDS Comprehensive Response Information Management System was used to collect newly diagnosed HIV/AIDS cases from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2014. Inclusion criteria of HIV/AIDS were confirmed cases and clinically diagnosed HIV positive, Chinese mainland cases, 14 years old and above, the first CD4⁺T lymphocyte ≤350 cells/μl in the follow up period. A total of 177 971 HIV/AIDS cases were included in this study. The general demographic characteristics (gender, age, ethnicity, education, occupation, etc.), infection routes, sample sources, CD4⁺T lymphocyte level and other information were collected from the database. Chi square test was used to analyze univariate factor of the timeliness of ART initiation. Multivariate logistic regressions were used to analyze potential factors associated with timeliness of ART initiation. Results: Out of the 17 7971 cases, 130 679 (73.4%) were males. The proportion of the timeliness of ART initiation was 55% (97 915). The proportion of timeline of ART within 15 d increased from 26.4% (4 319/16 388) in 2010 to 39.7% (20 212/50 889) in 2014. The highest proportion was in the group of patients infected by illegal blood (plasma) donation, which was 38% (945). The proportion of timeline of ART within 30 d increased from 43.2% (7 077/16 388) in 2010 to 63% (32 070/50 889) in 2014.The highest proportion was in the group of patients infected by heterosexual transmission, which was 58.3% (73 098). Multivariate logistic regression analysis on timeliness of ART showed that the factors of timeliness of ART initiation of HIV/AIDS as follow. The possibility of timeliness of ART among patients who were female, education of junior high school and above, ethnic group of Han, farmers, married were higher, with OR values at 1.08, 1.09, 1.13, 1.05 and 1.12. The possibilities of timeliness of ART in group of patients aging 25-34, 35-44, 45-54 and ≥55 years old were higher than that of the group of patients aging 15-24 years old, with OR values at 1.13, 1.31, 1.46 and 1.51, respectively. The possibilities of timeliness of ART among the homosexuals, injection drug use and sexual contact plus injection drug use cases were lower than that of the heterosexuals, with OR values at 0.86, 0.59 and 0.72, respectively. The possibilities of timeliness of ART among patients whose HIV diagnosis from hospitals and detention centers were lower than that of patients whose HIV diagnosis from volunteer testing and counseling, with OR values at separately 0.90 and 0.29. The possibilities of timeliness of ART among patients whose CD4⁺T lymphocyte at 50-99, 100-199, 200-350 cells/μl were lower than that of the patients whose CD4⁺T lymphocyte count at 0-49 cells/μl, with OR values at 0.84, 0.64 and 0.40, respectively. All the P values above was<0.05. Conclusion The proportion of timeliness of ART increased annually from 2010 to 2014. Those who were men, unmarried or divorced, at younger age, injection drug use, diagnosis from hospitals and detention centers and high CD4⁺T lymphocyte levels were related to the timeliness of ART.

BACKGROUNDTo compare the effect and toxicity between gemcitabine and cisplatin (GP) with vinorelbine, ifosfamide and cisplatin (NIP) combined chemotherapy in the treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

METHODSEighty patients received either gemcitabine 1 000 mg/m² on days 1, 8, or 15 plus cisplatin 70-80 mg/m² on day 1, or vinorelbine 25 mg/m² on days 1, 8, ifosfamide 1.2 g/m² on days 1-4 plus cisplatin 70-80 mg/m² on day 1, every 28 days as a cycle.

RESULTSThe objective response rate was 40.0% in GP goup, compared with 52.5% in NIP group (P > 0.05). Median survival time of GP and NIP groups was 13.68 and 15.34 months respectively, and 1-year survival rates were 54.29% and 59.46% respectively (P > 0.05). Leukopenia at grade III+IV was significantly lower in GP arm (27.5%) than that in NIP arm (55.0%) (P < 0.05). Non-hematological toxicities were less frequent in GP group than those in NIP group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSAlthough the response rate tends to be higher in three-drug than in two-drug combined chemotherapy, but no significant difference is observed. Three-drug combinations often result in more toxicities. Two-drug combination GP may be the standard protocol for chemotherapy of advanced NSCLC. Three-drug combination NIP should be given to young patients with good performance status.
