T cell factor 1(TCF-1)is a downstream transcription factor of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway,and plays an important role in the development,differentiation,and memory formation of T cells. Recent studies have shown that TCF-1 can regulate the formation and maintenance of stem-like memory T cells(Tscm),and has potential application value in evaluating the prognosis of tumor immunotherapy and as a target for tumor immunotherapy. This article reviews the regulatory effects of TCF-1 on the immune memory as well as stemness formation and maintenance of CD8 +T cells,summarizes the transcription network centered on TCF-1,and further elucidates the application and value of TCF-1 in tumor immunotherapy.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of multi-disciplinary comprehensive management team of tertiary hospital collaborated with the pharmacists from community health service center (hereinafter referred to as “community pharmacists”) on elderly patients with hypertension in the community. METHODS Elderly patients with hypertension from May 2020 to May 2021 in Yuhua Community Health Service Center of Nanjing were divided into control group (76 cases) and observation group (76 cases) according to the management style. The control group was treated with regular community medical services and the observation group received regular community medical services plus pharmaceutical care provided by the comprehensive management team collaborated with community pharmacists. The compliance, blood pressure control status and hypertension-related complications were compared between 2 groups before management and after 24 months of management. RESULTS After 24 months of management, the compliance and blood pressure compliance rates in both groups were higher than before management; meanwhile, the observation group was significantly higher than control group at the corresponding period (P<0.05 or P< 0.01). The blood pressure levels of both groups were significantly lower than before management, and the systolic blood pressure as well as the incidences of the whole complications and cerebrovascular injury in the observation group were significantly lower than control group at the 583867635@qq.com corresponding period (P<0.05). There was statistical significance in the effects of the rate of reaching the standard of blood pressure on the complications (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS The hypertension management mode of comprehensive management team collaborated with community pharmacists can significantly improve the compliance and blood pressure compliance rate of elderly patients with hypertension, and reduce the incidence of hypertension-related complications.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and patterns of lamivudine (3TC) resistance mutations in acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)/chronic hepatitis B (CHB) co-infected patients receiving 3TC as a part of antiretroviral therapy.Methods Data of patients with AIDS/CHB co-infection from 2005 to 2010 were collected.HBV DNA was tested at the time of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and after 12,24,36,48 and 60 months therapy.HBV reverse transcriptase (RT) was amplified in detectable samples.3TC resistance mutations were identified.Results 185 co-infected patients were enrolled.3TC resistance mutations were negative at the time of HAART.3TC resistance mutations occurred in 29 co-infected patients after treatment,of these,7 patients were detected resistance mutations in two different points.9 patients were HBV non-viraemia at the time of antiviral therapy.Resistance mutations were detected after 12 months therapy in 3 patients.Patients with 3TC resistance mutations were more frequently HBeAg positive (65.5% vs.33.3%,P =0.001),had higher HBV viral load (7.49 copies/ml vs.6.59 copies/ml,P =0.017) and longer duration of 3TC (40 months vs.26.5 months,P < 0.001) than patients without 3TC resistance mutations.Four patterns of 3TC resistance mutations were detected:rtM204I (n=7),rtL180M (n=2),rtL180M + rtM204V/I (n =23) and rtL80V +rtM204I (n=4).Conclusions The prevalence of 3TC resistance mutations is low among AIDS/CHB co-infected patients in Guangzhou.Patients with HBV DNA negative before HAART are likely to develop resistance early during therapy.

Objective To investigate the epidemiologic and clinical features of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/hepatitis B virus (HBV)co-infected patients.Methods Patients who confirmed with HIV infection and received highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART)at Guangzhou Eighth People′s Hospital were enrolled.HIV/HBV co-infected patients and HIV mono-infected patients were screened and their epidemiological and clinical features were analyzed before HAART.Comparison of the levels of alanine transaminase (ALT),aspartate transaminase (AST),CD4 + T lymphocyte and HIV RNA between the two groups were conducted.The data were statistically analyzed by chi-square test and nonparametric test.Results One hundred and sixty-five out of 1 218 (13.5 %)patients were hepatitis B surface antigen positive.The median ALT and AST levels of HIV mono-infected patients were 29 U/L and 34 U/L respectively,which were both higher than HIV/HBV co-infected patients (22 U/L and 25 U/L, respectively)(Z = - 4.270 and Z = - 5 .780,respectively,both P = 0.000 ).The median CD4 + T lymphocyte count of HIV/HBV co-infected patients was significantly lower than that of HIV mono-infected patients (Z = -2.980,P =0.003 ).The CD4 + T lymphocyte count was lower in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)positive patients than HBeAg negative patients (Z =-2.660,P =0.008).The median CD4 + T lymphocyte count in patients with HBV DNA≥5 lg copy/mL was significantly lower than those with HBV DNA<5 lg copy/mL (Z = -2.311 ,P =0.021 ).The proportions of positive HBV DNA, HBV DNA≥5 lg copy/mL,abnormal ALT and AST in 54 patiens with CD4 + T lymphocyte counts <50/μL were 81 .5 %,66.7%,44.4% and 53.7%,respectively.All were significantly higher than patients with CD4 + T lymphocyte count≥50/μL(χ2 =6.159,P =0.046 ;χ2 =6.618,P =0.037 ;χ2 =7.144,P =0.028 andχ2 =9.586,P =0.008,respectively).Conclusions The prevalence of HBV/HIV co-infection is high in this study.The CD4 + T lymphocyte counts in HIV/HBV co-infected patients are lower,especially in patients with HBeAg positive and high HBV DNA level.The CD4 + T lymphocyte counts are associated with HBV DNA replication levels.
