Abstract: Objective To investigate the fundus arteriosclerosis and its influencing factors in HIV/AIDS patients after long-term highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Methods The clinical basic data and fundus examination data of 203 HIV/AIDS patients before and after HAART in the Fourth People 's Hospital of Nanning from January 2020 to June 2022 were collected to evaluate the occurrence of fundus arteriosclerosis and analyze its influencing factors. Results Of the 203 HIV/AIDS patients, 159 patients developed fundus arteriosclerosis, with an incidence of 78.33%, including 33 patients with grade Ⅰ(20.75%), 87 patients with grade Ⅱ (54.72%), 28 patients with grade Ⅲ(17.61%), and 11 patients (6.92%) with Grade Ⅳ. Before HAART, there was no significant difference in CD4+T lymphocyte count, CD8+T lymphocyte count, viral load, white blood cell count, platelet count, hemoglobin, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, triacylglycerol, total cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and serum total bilirubin between the atherosclerosis group and normal group (P>0.05). After 6 months of HAART, CD8+T lymphocyte count, triacylglycerol and fasting blood glucose in atherosclerosis group were significantly higher than those in normal group (P<0.05). In the stratified comparison of CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocyte counts after 6 months of HAART, the proportion of patients with CD4+ lymphocyte count (CD4+)<200 (cells/μL) in the atherosclerosis group was significantly higher than that in the normal group; the proportion of patients with CD4+ lymphocyte count (CD4+)≥500 (cells/μL) was significantly lower than that in the normal group; the proportion of patients with CD8+ lymphocyte count CD8+≥ 800/μL was significantly higher than that in the normal group (all P<0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that opportunistic infection, HIV course, CD4+T, CD8+T lymphocyte count after HAART and triglyceride were independent risk factors for ocular fundus atherosclerosis in HIV/AIDS patients (all P<0.05). Conclusions The incidence of ocular fundus arteriosclerosis is high in HIV/AIDS patients. More than 4 years of HIV course, combined opportunistic infection, Low CD4+T lymphocyte count after 6 months of HAART, high CD8+T lymphocyte count and high triglyceride level are independent risk factors for ocular fundus arteriosclerosis in HIV/AIDS patients. Fundus screening should be performed before and after HAART in such population, HAART program should be formulated for the risk of cardiovascular disease, and risk management of cardiovascular disease should be strengthened during treatment to improve patient outcomes.

Objective Toinvestigatetheclinicalsignificanceofplasmamatrixmetalloproteinase9 (MMP-9)intheformationofdelayedcerebraledemaafterintracerebralhemorrhage.Methods The clinical data of 107 patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage treated with conservative medical treatment were analyzed retrospectively. According to the clinical features and imaging changes,they were divided into either a delayed cerebral edema group (case group n=39)or a non-delayed cerebral edema group (control group n =68 ). The plasma MMP-9 level was detected with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay within 24 h after onset. The patients performed head CT scan again at day 7 and 14 after admission. The changes of hematoma and edema volume were detected. All the possible factors associated with the formation of delayed cerebral edema were firstly analyzed by the univariate analysis. Univariate analysis showed that the variables with significant differences were enrolled into multiple logistic regression analysis. Results TheplasmaMMP-9levelofthedelayedbrainedemagroupwassignificantlyhigherthanthatof the control group,they were 189 ± 51 and 118 ± 27 mg/L respectively (P<0. 01). The result of univariate analysis showed that age,history of smoking,blood glucose level,baseline hematoma volume,and National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS )score on admission might be associated with the formation of delayed cerebral edema after intracerebral hemorrhage. Logistic regression analysis showed that MMP-9 level (OR,9. 745,95%CI 6. 754-15. 466,P<0. 01),baseline hematoma volume (OR,2. 411,95%CI 1. 190-2. 728,P =0. 018),blood glucose level on admission (OR,1. 327,95%CI 1. 133 -1. 850,P =0.004),and NIHSS score (OR,1. 867,95%CI 1. 272-2. 364,P=0. 020)were the independent risk factorsfortheformationofdelayedcerebraledemaafterintracerebralhemorrhage.Conclusion Theamount of bleeding,NIHSS score,and hyperglycemia are the risk factors for the formation of delayed cerebral edema in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage,while high MMP-9 level on admission indicated that the risk of the formation of delayed cerebral edema is high.
