Objective: To investigate the rifampicin resistance status and its influencing factors among elderly patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province, so as to provide the basis for improving drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis prevention and control strategies. Methods: Patients aged over 60 years with pulmonary tuberculosis treated in tuberculosis designated hospital was selected. Demographic information, history of previous disease, history of diagnosis and treatment and drug sensitivity test were collected. Rifampicin resistance among elderly patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and its influencing factors was analyzed. Results: Totally 249 elderly patients with pulmonary tuberculosis were included, with an average of (69.75±4.36) years. There were 147 males and 102 females, with a gender ratio of 1.44∶1. There were 183 treatment-naïve patients (73.49%) and 66 retreated patients (26.51%). Rifampicin resistance was found in 21 cases, with a drug resistance rate of 8.43%. Among them, there were 7 treatment-naïve patients (3.83%), and 14 retreated patients (21.21%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that retreated elderly patients with pulmonary tuberculosis had a higher risk of rifampicin resistance (OR=10.551, 95%CI: 1.344-82.857). Conclusion The rifampicin resistance rate of 249 elderly patients with pulmonary tuberculosis was 8.43% and was associated with the type of treatment.

Objective:To translate the Attention to Positive and Negative Inventory(APNI)and analyze the validity and reliability in Chinese undergraduates sample,to offer a convenient and reliable tool of measuring the cognitive bias for national researchers. Methods:The English-version APNI went through translation into Chinese, retroversion into English,translation into Chinese again,and revision several stages. Two parts of samples (1450 Chinese college students)were surveyed. Sample one (n=1000)was used for item analysis,exploratory factor a-nalysis (EFA),concurrent validity and reliability analysis,while sample 2 (n=450)was used for confirmatory fac-tor analysis (CFA). Totally 68 subjects of sample 1 were randomly chosen and resurveyed with an interval of one week. Beck depression inventory (BDI-II)and patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9)was used for concurrent validi-ty. Results:Item analysis indicated that the 22 items of Chinese APNI had good discriminability. EFA focused onattention to positive information(API)and attention to negative information(ANI)two factors. CFA showed good model fit (χ2 =1376,RMESA=0. 09,CFI=0. 94). Concurrent validity result showed that the total scores of BDI-II and PHQ-9 was negatively correlated with total scores of API (r=-0. 24,-0. 29,Ps<0. 01 ),and posi-tively correlated with total scores of ANI (r=0. 36,0. 31,Ps<0. 01). The Cronbach'αcoefficients of API and ANI sub-scale were 0. 86 and 0. 82,while the retest reliability coefficients were 0. 79 and 0. 62. Conclusion:It suggests that the Chinese APNI has good validity and reliability in a sample of college students,which could be used to eval-uate the cognitive bias of Chinese college students.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the occurrence time and risk factors of anemia in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome （AIDS） after taking highly active antiretroviral therapy （HAART） containing zidovudine. METHODS The clinical data of 2 150 AIDS patients who were followed up in the care clinic of Liuzhou People’s Hospital from January 1， 2010 to December 31， 2022 were collected. The occurrence time of anemia was analyzed retrospectively， and the risk factors of anemia were analyzed by univariate analysis and binary Logistic regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 854 AIDS patients receiving HAART containing zidovudine were collected， and 107 patients （12.53%） developed anemia. Most of them （63.55%） developed anemia within 3 months after treatment. Baseline hemoglobin [OR＝2.944， 95%CI （1.195， 7.501）， P＝0.019]， baseline CD4+ T lymphocyte count [OR＝2.472， 95%CI （1.117， 5.469）， P＝0.026] and baseline human immunodeficiency virus-ribonucleic acid （HIV-RNA） [OR＝4.299， 95%CI （1.905， 9.705）， P＜0.001] was associated with anemia. CONCLUSIONS The median time of anemia in AIDS patients receiving HAART containing zidovudine is the second month after initiation of treatment. Baseline hemoglobin≤110 g/L， baseline CD4+ T lymphocyte E-mail：1315775863@qq.com count≤100 /mm3， and baseline HIV-RNA≥100 000 copies/mL are independent risk factors for anemia in these patients.
