One case of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in a patient co-infected by HIV with a low CD4 T-cell count.

The ongoing outbreak of COVID-19 that began in Wuhan, China, become an emergency of international concern when thousands of people were infected around the world. This study reports a case simultaneously infected by SARS-Cov-2 and HIV, which showed a longer disease course and slower generation of specific antibodies. This case highlights that a co-infection of SARS-Cov-2 and HIV may severely impair the immune system.

Surviving cells after treatment with gemcitabine or 5-fluorouracil for the study of de novo resistance of pancreatic cancer.

One of the hallmarks of pancreatic cancer is its inherent insensitivity to chemotherapy. This study was undertaken to develop a cell model for the study of de novo resistance of pancreatic cancer. The surviving pancreatic cancer cells after a 3-day exposure to gemcitabine or 5-fluorouracil followed by another 7-day recovery were potentially drug-resistant.

[Early-stage hemodynamic changes in dogs with gunshot wound in seawater].

Objective: To investigate the hemodynamic changes in the early stages of gunshot wound of dogs in seawater for exploring early treatment protocol.

Method: Fourteen conventional Beagles models undergoing gunshot wound in seawater were used along with another 2 dogs receiving the wound on land to serve as control. After the dogs were rescued from the seawater, the respiration (R), heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), central venous pressure (CVP), pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (PAWP), and cardiac output (CO) were measured continuously in the early stages of the wound (53.

[Comparative study of three local ablation methods for transplanted hepatocellular carcinoma in mice].

Objective: To observe the effects of three commonly used local ablation methods in the treatment of transplanted hepatocellular carcinoma in mice to provide experimental evidence for treating hepatocellular carcinoma that defies surgical removal.

Methods: Mouse models of hepatocellular carcinoma were established by means of subcutaneous transplantation, and treatment results of the three ablation methods, namely percutaneous ethanol injection therapy (PEIT), percutaneous acetic acid injection therapy (PAIT) and percutaneous local cryosurgery therapy (PLCT), were compared.

Results: The tumor inhibition rates of PLCT, PAIT and PEIT were 99.

[Quantitative study of bacteriological infections in dogs undergoing gunshot wound in seawater].

Objective: To investigate the changes in bacterial proliferation and the time of infection occurrence in dogs wounded by gunshot in seawater.

Method: Fourteen canine models of gunshot wound in seawater were established, with another 2 dogs receiving the wound without seawater immersion serving as control. Gross observation and quantitative bacterial analysis were performed at 0, 6, 12 and 24 h after the injury respectively, and two dynamic models for the bacterial growth were set up on the basis of statistical analysis of the results.
