Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of transcatheter arterial embolization(TAE)in the treatment of refractory bleeding caused by head,neck,and maxillofacial trauma.Methods:The clinical data of 26 patients with refractory bleeding caused by head,neck and maxillofacial trauma who were treated with TAE in The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University and The Third People's Hospital of Henan Province were analyzed retrospectively,including 16 males and 10 females,with an average age of 57.96±15.52 years.All patients were treated with TAE because of the poor effect of medication,packing,and other measures and repeated bleeding.The clinical data,operation success rate,effective hemostasis rate,30-day clinical success rate,and postoperative complica-tions were analyzed.The patients were followed up for 3 to 6 months.Results:The operation success rate of TAE was 100%.The bleed-ing symptoms of all patients were effectively controlled,and the effective hemostasis rate was 100%.The hemoglobin level was in-creased from(96.21±12.42)g/L before operation to(111.38±7.70)g/L at 3 days after operation(P<0.001).After operation,3 pa-tients had slight swelling,pain,or skin color changes in the head,neck,and maxillofacial region,which were effectively relieved or dis-appeared after symptomatic treatment;2 patients died of severe traumatic brain injury and cerebral edema.No serious complications such as cerebral infarction occurred in any patients.There was no rebleeding in any patients within 3 to 6 months of post-discharge follow-up.Conclusion:TAE has definite curative effect and good safety for refractory bleeding caused by head,neck,and maxillofa-cial trauma,and has high clinical application value.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of social media based behavioral intervention on promoting joint testing of HIV and syphilis in young men who have sex with men (MSM).Methods:After the recruitment, the participants who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided (1∶1) into two groups, i.e. social media intervention group and control group. The control group was given routine voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) services. The intervention group was also given VCT services, besides; the comprehensive strategies through social media, including regular health education message and testing information sending, were given to them to strengthen the behavioral intervention. Follow up was conducted for the participants for 12 months after the intervention. The number and the proportion of young MSM receiving HIV and syphilis testing, and the reported proportion of the young MSM with sexually transmitted diseases (STD) symptoms between the intervention group and the control group were compared to evaluate the effect of the intervention.Results:A total of 315 young MSM were recruited (158 in the intervention group and 157 in the control group), in whom 248 young MSM completed the follow up. The follow-up rate was 78.7%. There was no significant difference in baseline characteristics between the intervention group and the control group (all P>0.05). The proportion of young MSM receiving more than one joint testing in the intervention group was slightly higher than that in the control group (53.2% vs. 48.4%, rate difference (RD): 4.8%, 95% CI: -7.5%-17.0%, P=0.448) without significant difference. However, in the young MSM who used condoms in the last anal sex, the proportion of those receiving more than one joint testing in the intervention group was higher than that in the control group (63.8% vs. 46.1%, RD: 17.7%, 95% CI: 1.5%-32.6%, P=0.035). In addition, the reported proportion of young MSM with STD symptoms in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group (6.3% vs. 18.0%,RD: -11.7%, 95% CI: -20.6%- -3.0%, P=0.005). Conclusion:Compared with routine VCT, social media based behavioral intervention might promote joint HIV and syphilis testing in the young MSM who used condom in the study. It could significantly reduce the reporting proportion of STD symptoms, suggesting that this method can promote the AIDS and STD prevention related behaviors in young MSM.

Objective To investigate the effect of acupuncture plus Chinese herbal medication on plasma endothelin (ET-1) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in child patients with mesenteric lymphadenitis.Methods One hundred and eighty child patients with mesenteric lymphadenitis were randomly allocated to groups A, B and C, 60 cases each. Group A received acupuncture at Zusanli and pricking Sifeng points plus oral administration of Wudang Babao Zijinding; group B, oral administration of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium granules; group C, oral administration of Wudang Babao Zijinding alone. ET-1 and CGRP contents were measured in the three groups before and after treatment.Results There were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in ET-1 and CGRP contents in group A (P<0.01). There were statistically significant post-treatment differences in ET-1 and CGRP contents between group A and group B or C (P<0.01).Conclusions Acupuncture plus Chinese herbal medication is an effective way to treat mesenteric lymphadenitis in children. It can regulate ET-1 and CGRP in the patients.

The study aims to develop a rapid, sensitive and specified method of liquid chromatography with heated electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-HESI/MS/MS) for simultaneous determination of amlodipine, benazepril and benazeprilat in human plasma using amlodipine-d4 and ubenimex as internal standards (ISs). Selected reaction monitoring (SRM) with heated electrospray ionization (HESI) was used in the positive mode for mass spectrometric detection. Analytes and ISs were extracted from plasma by simple protein precipitation. The reconstituted samples were chromatographed on a C18 (100 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 microm) column with mixture of methanol-acetonitrile-5 mmol.L- ammonium acetate-formic acid (30 : 30 : 40 : 0.1) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.6 mL.min-1. The standard curves were demonstrated to be linear in the range of 0.02 to 6.00 ng.mL-1 for amlodipine, 0.2 to 1,500 ng.mL-1 for benazepril and benazeprilat with r2>0.99 for each analyte. The lower limit of quantitation was identifiable and reproducible at 0.02, 0.2 and 0.2 ng mL-1 for amlodipine, benazepril and benazeprilat, respectively. The intra-day and inter-day precision and accuracy results were within the acceptable limit across all concentrations. The plasma samples were stable after four freeze-thaw cycles and being stored for 93 days at -20 degrees C. The method was applied to a pharmacokinetic study of a fixed-dose combination of amlodipine and benazepril on Chinese healthy volunteers.

Hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate (Hrs) is a key component of the endosomal sorting complexes required for transport and has been demonstrated to play a regulatory role in endocytosis/exocytosis and the accumulation of internal vesicles in multivesicular bodies. Citron kinase is a Ser/The kinase that we previously reported to enhance human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) virion production. However, the relationship between Hrs and citron kinase in HIV-1 production remains elusive. Here, we report that Hrs interacts with citron kinase via its FYVE domain. Overexpression of Hrs or the FYVE domain resulted in a significant decrease in HIV-1 virion production. Depletion of Hrs by RNA interference in HEK293T cells increased HIV-1 virion production and enhanced the activity of citron kinase. These data suggest that Hrs inhibits HIV-1 production by inhibiting citron kinase-mediated exocytosis.
