[Effect of Qiling Decoction combined HAART on expression levels of Treg cells and Th17 in HIV/AIDS patients].

Objective: To explore the effect of Qiling Decoction (QD) combined highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) on expression levels of peripheral blood Th17 and Treg cells in HIV/AIDS patients.

Methods: Totally 55 HIV/AIDS patients were randomly assigned to the treatment group (28 cases) and the combination group (27 cases). Besides, 21 HIV negative patients were recruited as the healthy control group.

A novel method for the analysis of drug-resistant phenotypes of hepatitis B virus.

Chronic hepatitis B virus (CHB) infection is a major cause of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Nucleoside analogs (NAs) are popularly used to treat chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections; however, the anti-HBV effect is attenuated by drug-resistant viral mutations selected during long-term antiviral therapy. The timely analysis of drug-resistance mutations is essential in order to adjust treatment regimes.

[The study on significance of detecting the hepatitis B virus large proteins in public health physical examination].

Objective: It was to explore the application of the hepatitis B virus large proteins (HBV-LP) in public health physical examination through clinical testing of HBV-LP in Catering practitioners, students and soldiers of New requisition etc.

Methods: 709 samples of HBV infection people were collected in public health physical examination and all collected samples were detected. ELISA was used to detect HBV serum markers (HBV-M) and HBV-LP.

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/furans (PCDD/Fs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in breast milk from Zhejiang, China.

Breast milk samples (n=74) from the general maternal population of Zhejiang province were analyzed for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/furans (PCDD/Fs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). Samples were divided into urban and rural groups. Mean ∑PCDD/F, ∑PCB and ∑PBDE concentrations were 71.
