Objective To study the anatomic data of the first metatarsal dorsal artery and to provide anatomical basis for clinical tissue transplantation based on the first metatarsal dorsal artery.Methods The 16 adult cadaver specimens with 32 feet were dissected and meas-ured by vernier caliper.Then the anatomic data of the first metatarsal dorsal artery were analyzed.Results Through the examinations of 32 feet sample,the first metatarsal dorsal artery were classified into 5 types.Type Ⅰ:the first metatarsal dorsal artery runs at the surface of the first dorsal interosseous muscle (13 sides,40.6%).Type Ⅱ:the first metatarsal dorsal artery runs in the interior of the first dorsal interosse-ous muscle (11sides,34.4%).Type Ⅲ:the first metatarsal dorsal artery runs underneath the first dorsal interosseous muscle (6 sides, 18.8%).Type Ⅳ:the first metatarsal dorsal artery is slender (1 side,3.1%).TypeⅤ:the first metatarsal dorsal artery is absent (1 side, 3.1%).Distance relationship was measured between the first metatarsal bone and the first metatarsal dorsal artery:the vertical distance be-tween the origin of the posterior branch of the first metatarsal dorsal artery and base of the first metatarsal bone was (2.4 ±0.3)mm,the ver-tical distance between the origin of the posterior branch of the first metatarsal dorsal artery and head of the first metatarsal bone was (10.1 ±1.0)mm;the vertical distance between the origin of the anterior branch of the first metatarsal dorsal artery and the first metatarso-phalangeal joint was (7.6 ±2.7)mm.Conclusion The first metatarsal dorsal artery has clinical reference significance for the hands and feet’s trauma and skin flap transplantation such as thumb reconstruction.

ObjectiveTo investigate the trends and significant determinants of delayed HIV diagnosis (DHD) among newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Xuhui District, Shanghai between 2018 and 2022. MethodsIn the newly reported HIV/AIDS cases, patients died within one year without accident, HIV/AIDS cases with CD4 cell count <200 cells·μL-1, and AIDS cases with a CD4 cell count between 200 to 499 cells·μL-1 were defined as delayed diagnosis. Univariate and multivariate logistic analysis were employed to explore the influencing factors of DHD. ResultsAmong the 862 newly reported HIV/AIDS cases, The DHD rate was 39.79% without statistically significant difference by year(χ2=4.508, P=0.342). Patients with CD4 cell count <200 cells·μL-1 contributed the largest proportion of DHD. During 2018‒2022, the DHD rate declined among HIV/AIDS patients who were younger than 35 years old or 45‒65 years old, never married, original diagnosis from tertiary specialized hospitals. Patients who were 65 years or older, married or divorced, with heterosexual transmitted HIV/AIDS, and original diagnosis from other types of testing and tertiary metropolitan hospital, had sustainably higher DHD rates. The number of HIV screening and diagnosed from voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) decreased during the COVID-19 epidemic, while the DHD rate increased sharply. Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested the DHD rates were higher among older age, other types of testing(OR=3.805, 95%CI: 2.260‒6.406)and pre-operative testing(OR=2.411, 95%CI: 1.424‒4.081). Patients who received CD4 test in 15 days had a higher DHD rate compared to the cases received CD4 test exceeding 90 days (OR=0.336, 95%CI: 0.216‒0.522). ConclusionThere is no significant decrease of delayed HIV diagnosis rate in Xuhui District in recent years, and the number of HIV tests has decreased in 2022. Monitoring of newly reported HIV/AIDS should be conducted continuously. Expansion of HIV antibody screening should be conducted in non-infectious departments and inpatient departments in healthcare institutions, particularly metropolitan hospitals. Assistance should be provided to clinicians and elderly patients for improving their ability to recognize and perceive the risk of HIV/AIDS, in order to enhance early diagnosis and subsequent treatment.
