A case of multiple ART intolerance responds to Albuvirtide and Dolutegravir: Case report and literature review.

Upon confirming an HIV diagnosis, patients need to start life-long antiretroviral therapy (ART) as soon as possible. During HIV treatment, ART drugs can cause intolerable adverse reactions, leading to poor medication compliance, treatment failure, and advancement of the HIV stage. Herein, we report a case of AIDS intolerant to multiple antiviral drugs due to side effects that we finally stabilized with the Albuvirtide (ABT) and Dolutegravir (DTG) combination. A 48 -year-old woman developed intractable nausea, vomiting and abdominal discomfort within one month of starting ART. Over the course of four years, she was switched to four different ART regimens due to her intolerance of severe adverse effects, mainly gastrointestinal symptoms, rash, and lethargy. Over four years, she failed to attain viral suppression due to poor drug compliance. After several ART changes, we started her on the Long-acting antiretroviral therapy (LA ART), Albuvirtide, combined with Dolutegravir, which she tolerated well. The patient's general condition improved significantly and attained marked virologic suppression. The patient's condition has been well controlled for nearly two years with good adherence. This case emphasizes the influence of ART treatment options on medication compliance and the outcome of HIV infection.

A Meta-analysis on the relations between short-term exposure to PM2.5 and both mortality and related emergency visits in China / 中华流行病学杂志

Objective To carry out a quantitative estimate that related to the effects of shortterm exposure to PM2.5 on all-cause mortality and emergency visits in China by using the systematic review and Meta-analysis.Methods We selected all the studies published before March 2018 from China National Knowledge Infrastructure,Wanfang database,PubMed and EMBASE and data on relative risk (RR),excess risk (ER) and their 95％CIs:appeared in these papers were extracted.According to the differences in the size or direction (heterogeneity) of the results,we computed summary estimates of the effect values using a random-effect or fixed effect model.We also conducted the subgroup analysis and Meta-analysis to have assessed the selected studies for the evidence of study bias.Results A total of 33 original studies,indexed in databases,were identified.Among those studies,39 sets of data on mortality and 4 sets of data on emergency were valid to show that within the daily concentration range from 47.7 to 176.7 pg/m3,for 10 μg/m3 increases in PM2.5 concentrations,it would increase the daily numbers of deaths by 0.49％ (95％CI:0.39％-0.59％) and 0.30％ (95％CI:0.10％-0.51％) for all-cause deaths and all-cause emergency-room visits,respectively.For subgroup analysis,the combined effect of PM2.5 in causing short-term all-cause deaths in the northern areas (ER=0.42％,95％CI:0.30％-0.54％) seemed lower than that in the southern areas (ER=0.63％,95％CI:0.44％-0.82％).The combined effect of PM2.5 concentration below 75 μg/m3 (ER=0.50％,95％CI:0.37％-0.62％) was higher than that of PM25 concentration ≥75 μ g/m3 (ER=0.39％,95％ CI:0.26％-0.52％).Conclusion Within the concentration range from 47.7 to 176.7 μg/m3,short-term exposure to current level of PM2.5 might increase both the all-cause daily mortality and daily emergency visits in China.

Expression and clinical significance of VEGF and Id-1 in ccervical cancer tissues / 中国基层医药

Objective To investigate the expression VEGF and Id -1 and its possible relationship with the c1inical pathological features of cervical cancer .Methods The expression of VEGF and Id -1 were examined in cer-vical cancer and normal tissues by immunohistochemical SP technique .Results The positive expression rate of VEGF in cervical cancer was 80.00%(48/60),which was significantly higher than that in normal tissues 6.67%(2/30)(P<0.01);The positive expression rate of Id -1 protein in cervical cancer was 73.34%(44/60),which was significantly higher than that in normal tissues 10.00%(3/30)(P<0.01);The expressions of VEGF and Id -1 were positively correlated with the degree of differentiation ,vascular invasion,and FIGO stage(P<0.05),and while was not significantly associated with age ,tumor size,lymph node metastasis ,and pathologic types .Expression of VEGF was positively related with expression of Id -1 in cervical cancer tissues(r=0.642,P=0.000).Multiple regression anal-ysis showed that:VEGF,Id -1,differentiation,vascular invasion,and FIGO were independent prognosis factors for cervical cancer .Conclusion The expressions of VEGF and Id -1 are correlated with the development of cervical cancer.Detection of the expression of VEGF and Id -1 in cervical cancer can predict the metastasis and prognosis , which can provide the basis for clinical targeted therapy .
