Objective To evaluate the efficacy of mid-axillary approach to transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block in each abdoninal and back region.Methods Twenty patients of both sexes,aged 18-64 yr,with body mass index of 20-27 kg/m2,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy,who had expected operation time ＜1 h,were enrolled in the study.Ultrasound-guided TAP block was performed on the left side via the mid-axillary line with 0.25％ levobupivacaine 0.5 ml/kg.TAP block was assessed by cold stimulation (75％ alcohol) and acupuncture in each abdominal and back region (the left side of the body was divided into 19 regions using the anatomical landmarks on the body surface).The positive condition in each region at 20 min after administration was recorded.Results The regions in which the positive rate ≤5％ were 11,14,17 and 18 regions.The regions in which the positive rate ＞5％-20％ were 8,15 and 19 regions.The regions in which the positive rate ＞20％-50％ were 12,13 and 16 regions.The regions in which the positive rate ＞50％-70％ were 1 and 4 regions.The regions in which 70％ ＜ the positive rate ＜ 95％ were 7,9 and 10 regions.The regions in which the positive rate ≥ 95％ were 2,3,5 and 6 regions.Conclusion Mid-axillary approach to TAP block is effective in the left middle-lower regions of the anterior abdominal wall,however,it is ineffective in the left upper region between mid-axillary and posterior axillary lines and in the low back region.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of the molecular transmission network of newly-diagnosed human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infected individuals in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, and to provide evidence for epidemic trend and prevention.Methods:The plasma samples from 423 antiretroviral-naive HIV-1/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patients from August 2018 to December 2019 were collected, and the pol gene fragments of HIV-1 from 375 samples were amplified by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and nested PCR. The phylogenetic tree was constructed to analyze the molecular transmission network for subtypes and different gene distances by MEGA 6.0 software, HyPhy software and Cytoscape 3.7.2. Mutations on drug resistance was analyzed by online software tool of the HIV drug resistance database of Stanford University. Results:Eight subtypes were found in the 375 samples. Circulating recombinant form (CRF)07_BC(215/375, 57.33%) and CRF01_AE(103/375, 27.47%) were the major subtypes, followed by CRF85_BC, CRF55_01B, B, C, and CRF01_AE/B subtypes. One hundred and ninety-four individuals (51.73%) were connected to the transmission network at 1.50% genetic distance with 24 clusters. One hundred and twenty-nine individuals (34.40%) were connected to the transmission network at 0.75% genetic distance with 30 clusters, and 35 elderly patients were clustered in CL1.Forty-two cases had surveillance drug resistance mutation (SDRM), the prevalence of transmitted drug resistance was 11.20%(42/375). Thirty-eight cases had the drug mutations to non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, including K103 N(32/375, 8.53%), K103 S(4/375, 1.07%), Y188 L(1/375, 0.27%) and G190 A(1/375, 0.27%); four cases had the mutations to protease inhibitor, including M46 I(3/375, 0.80%) and V82 A(1/375, 0.27%). The cluster C2 sequences carried a high proportion of resistant mutations (94.29%, 33/35). Conclusions:HIV-1 subtypes in Shaoxing City are diverse and the CRF07_BC subtype spreads rapidly. The elderly patients with drug resistance genes in cluster CL1 at 0.75% gene distance need to be intervened immediately to prevent the drug resistance virus spread.
