ObjectiveTo investigate the variation of drug resistance genes in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 strains in Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide a basis for guiding the adjustment of treatment plans for ADIS patients or patients infected with HIV. MethodsA total of 555 samples were collected from 396 newly diagnosed HIV/AIDS patients who did not receive antiviral treatment from 2021 to 2023, in addition to 159 HIV/AIDS patients who received antiviral treatment for at least twelve months but failed during the same period.Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and nested polymerase chain reaction (nested PCR) were used to amplify the pol region gene of HIV-1. Lastly, the sequenced data were submitted to the HIV resistance database of Stanford University in the United States for resistance gene mutation analysis. ResultsDrug resistance mutations were detected in samples from 97 newly diagnosed HIV/AIDS patients and 77 patients with failed treatment, with the main subtypes being CRF01AE and CRF07-BC. The mutation rates of drug resistance genes in the patients untreated and patients with failed treatment were 24.49% (97/396) and 48.43% (77/159), respectively. Drug resistance gene mutations against protease inhibitor (PI), nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI), and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) were detected both in the untreated and failed treatment group. The drug resistance rates of untreated and failed treatment patients were 10.61% (42/396) and 45.28% (72/159), respectively. ConclusionThe pre-treatment drug resistance rate of HIV-1 strains in Huzhou City is at a moderate level, and which is at a relatively low level nationwide after antiviral treatment. The resistance genes in the region exhibit diverse and complex characteristics, and the prevalence of drug resistance is in the process of upward and evolution compared to the monitoring results in the previous years. It is necessary to continue to monitor the occurrence and development of drug resistant strains, and to adjust treatment plans in time to prevent the occurrence of transmissible drug resistance.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical efficacy of acupoint thread-embedding therapy of regulating governor vessel, dispersing lung, and suppressing reflux for gastroesophageal reflux cough (GERC). METHODS: A total of 120 GERC patients were randomly assigned to an observation group (60 cases, 1 case dropped out) and a control group (60 cases, 1 case was eliminated). The observation group received acupoint thread-embedding treatment at positive response points of governor vessel. If no such points were detected, the following acupoints were used: Dazhui (GV14), Fenghu (Extra), Shendao (GV11), Lingtai (GV10), and Zhiyang (GV9). Treatment was administered once every two weeks. The control group received oral rabeprazole enteric capsules at 20 mg twice daily. All the treatment was given for 6 weeks. Clinical outcomes were assessed using cough symptom score, reflux disease questionnaire (RDQ) score, and Leicester cough questionnaire (LCQ) score before and after treatment in the two groups. Clinical efficacy was also compared between the two groups. RESULTS: After treatment, both groups showed decreased cough symptom scores and the each item scores and total scores of RDQ (P<0.001), and increased LCQ scores (P<0.001) compare with those before treatment. The observation group exhibited lower cough symptom score and chest pain, reflux and total score of RDQ, and higher LCQ score compared to those in the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate in the observation group was 94.9% (56/59), which was higher than 84.7% (50/59) in the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Acupoint thread-embedding therapy of regulating governor vessel, dispersing lung, and suppressing reflux could effectively alleviate cough and reflux symptoms in patients with GERC and improve their quality of life.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of Xuanbai Chengqi Decoction on respiratory and oxygenation functions and the ex-pression levels of serum aquaporin(AQP)1 and AQP5 in patients with severe pneumonia complicated with gastrointestinal dysfunction of lung heat and fu-organ repletion type.METHODS 60 patients with severe pneumonia complicated with gastrointestinal dysfunc-tion of lung heat and fu-organ repletion type were randomly divided into control group and treatment group,with 30 cases each.The control group received standardized Western medicine treatment,and the treatment group was treated with Xuanbai Chengqi Decoction in addition to the control group.Both groups were treated for 7 d.The respiratory rate and oxygenation index,mechanical ventilation u-tilization rate,the clinical score including CURB-65 and CPIS scores,TCM syndrome score,gastrointestinal function indicators inclu-ding intra-abdominal pressure,serum gastrin(GAS)and vasoactive intestinal peptide(VIP),AQP1 and AQP5 levels were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Ventilation utilization and ICU hospitalization days during treatment were compared between the two groups.RESULTS After treatment,compared with the control group,the respiratory rate,TCM syndrome score and intra-abdominal pressure in the treatment group were decreased significantly(P<0.05,P<0.01);meanwhile,the oxygenation index and the levels of serum GAS,AQP1 and AQP5 were increased significantly(P<0.05,P<0.01).CONCLUSION Xuanbai Chengqi Decoction can significantly improve clinical symptoms such as respiratory and oxygenation functions in patients,and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of AQP1 and AQP5.

Objective:To understand the clinical prevalence and drug resistance of Raoultella ornithinolytica, and to analyze the drug-resistant characteristics of carbapenem-resistant strains. Methods:A total of 83 clinical isolates of R.ornithinolytica, identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry between May 2015 and December 2020, were collected. Clinical information, drug-resistant phenotype, and carbapenemase gene of the carbapenem resistant strains were analyzed. Homology of the resistant strains was examined by pulse-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). The molecular characteristics of plasmids, drug resistance genes and virulence genes were determined by whole genome sequencing (WGS), and a phylogenetic tree was constructed based on core single-nucleotide polymorphisms(core-SNPs) for evolutionary analysis of the carbapenem-resistant strains. Results:All 83 clinical isolates were confirmed as R.ornithinolytica, of which 11 strains were resistant to carbapenem antibiotics. The resistant strains were mainly sourced from the drainage fluid and wound secretions of patients in surgery, intensive care unit and oncology department. In addition to carbapenems resistances, the 11 strains were also resistant to cephalosporins, cephamycins, and aztreonam, while maintaining good in vitro activity to levofloxacin, tigecycline and colistin. Carbapenemase gene detection showed that 8 strains carried the bla IMP-4, 3 carried bla KPC-2, of which 1 strain carried both bla IMP-4 and bla KPC-2, and 2 strains carried both bla IMP-4 and bla NDM-1. PFGE results showed 7 banding types and 4 epidemic strains. WGS identified plasmid replicon types carried by the 11 strains of R. ornithinolyticus including IncFIA, IncFIB, IncHI1B, IncU, repB and Col, along with 10 additional types of drug resistance genes. Iron carrier related virulence genes entB, fyu, ybt and irp were detected in all carbapenem-resistant strains. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Ro6348 and Ro6050, Ro7401 and Ro7242, Ro8647 and Ro5832, and Ro9907 and Ro8856 were grouped together, while Ro8454, Ro7349 and Ro7326 were located on different branches. Conclusions:The overall drug resistance of R. ornithinolytica closely resembles Klebsiella pneumoniae and carries a variety of drug-resistant genes, but differs from domestic K.pneumoniae in that its carbapenemase is mainly IMP-4. PFGE and phylogenetic analysis results suggest that the strain has a tendency of mutual transmission in hospital, which deserves more attention.
