Objective : To investigate the incidence of new HIV infection and its influencing factors among men who have sex with men ( MSM ) in China, so as to provide the evidence for formulating the AIDS control strategy. Methods : Cohort studies pertaining to new HIV infections among Chinese MSM populations were retrieved in Chinese and English electronic databases, including CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane Library, and the retrieval time was set to build the database until May 2021. A meta-analysis was performed to investigate the incidence of new HIV infection and its influencing factors among Chinese MSM populations. The publication bias was assessed using funnel plot and Egger's test, and the stability of outcome parameters was evaluated using sensitivity analysis. Results : A total of 850 publications were retrieved, and 43 eligible literatures ( 44 studies ) were included in the final analysis. The pooled incidence of new HIV infection was 4.93 ( 95%CI: 4.15 to 5.72) per 100 person-years among Chinese MSM populations. Egger's test showed a publication bias ( t=2.411, P=0.021). Subgroup analysis revealed high incidence of new HIV infection in east ( 5.21 per 100 person-years ), north ( 5.30 per 100 person-years ) and southwest (4.84 per 100 person-years) China, and the lowest incidence in northwest China ( 2.87 per 100 person-years ), and showed higher incidence in first-tier cities ( 5.12 per 100 person-years ) than in nonfirst-tier cities ( 3.89 per 100 person-years ). Syphilis infection ( HR=3.41 ), unprotected anal sex ( HR=2.52 ), multiple sexual partners ( HR=3.51 ), seeking sex partners in bars, public baths and parks ( HR=3.44 ), age of > 25 years ( HR=0.44 ), Han Ethnicity ( HR=0.35 ), awareness of AIDS-related knowledge ( HR=0.20 ) and provision of HIV preventive services ( HR=0.18 ) were associated with new HIV infection in Chinese MSM populations. In addition, publication bias was found in studies reporting syphilis infection ( t=4.841, P<0.001 ), unprotected anal sex ( t=4.114, P=0.006 ) and ethnicity ( t=-5.018, P=0.038 ). Conclusions The incidence of new HIV infection is high among Chinese MSM populations. Interventions targeting the factors affecting new HIV infections are required to reduce in the incidence of new HIV infections among Chinese MSM populations.

Objective To analyze the relationship between needs of assistive devices and the three other factors (age, disability categories, severity levels of disability) in order to scientifically formulate subsidy policy on assistive devices.MethodsThe assessment of rehabilitation needs for 928 Shenzhen citizens with new disability certificates in its six districts was performed by professionals, and the data was recorded into ACCESS database and analyzed.ResultsThe sequence of demand rates on assistive devices among disability categories was vision disability (78%), hearing disability (76%) and physical disability (74%); but speech, mental retardation and psychological disabilities had a low demand. The demand rates of assistive devices were dissimilar among four age groups for persons with vision, hearing and physical disabilities; for severity levels of three disability categories of vision, hearing and physical disabilities: the milder the vision disability was, the greater demand rates of assistive devices were; the demand rate of those with the second level of hearing disability was the highest; the demand rates of persons with the first and second levels of physical disability were relatively higher.ConclusionWhen drawing up subsidy policy on assistive devices for persons with disability, the disability categories, ages of persons with disability and severity levels of disability should be considered; the different types of assistive devices should be supplied according to rehabilitation goals at different age group; and necessary assistive devices should be provided according to severity levels of disability.

Objective To estimate the value of aortic valves and combined mitral valve replacement with retrograde perfusion in beating hearts.Methods Continuous retrograde coronary sinus perfusion with beating hearts was used in 83 patients undergoing aortic valve or aortic valve combined with mitral valve replacement,without application of cardioplegia.After aortic valve replacement,the retrograde perfusion wes changed to antegrade perfusion for mitral valve replacement or correction of the other deformities(group A).Cold blood cardioplegia solution(15℃)was infused at intervals in 20 cases(group B).The following parameters were tested:lactate,ET,CTn-T and MDA in blood;myocardial ultra-structure;and cardiac rhythm and cardiac output (co).Results All biochemical values increased after cardiopulmonary bypass(P ＜ 0.05 - 0.01).Empty and beating heart sinus rhythm was maintained in group A.Myocardial ultrastructure did not change significantly.The pump was stopped smoothly as the surgical procedure finished.No postoperative low cardiac output syndrome or arrhythmia was observed.Eight-one patients recovered smoothly,two died from renal failure or infective shock.When the pump stopped,all patients in group B were supported by 5 - 10 μg· kg-1· min-1 dopamine.Transient pacing was used in 9 patients.One patient died from low cardiac output syndrome.Conclusion This method is a good myocardial protection which simulates physiologic status.It is applicable to aortic valve and combined mitral valve replacement of patients with large heart or heart failure and long time aortic cross-clamping.Ideal clinical effect can be achieved.

OBJECTIVE: To identify and analysis three ABO variant Bw subtypes. METHODS: Serological assays were carried out to identify the ABO blood group of the proband. ABO gene was identified by Sanger sequencing. RESULTS: The genotype of three individuals are ABO*Bw.11/0.01.02, ABO*Bw.12/0.01.01, ABO*Bw.34/A1.02, receptively. Sequencing results showed that there were c.695T>C, c.278C>T, c.889G>A, resulting in variants in Leu232Pro, Pro93Leu and Glu297Lys, receptively. CONCLUSION Bw11, Bw12 and Bw34 subgroups were identified, and gene testing can be used as a supplement to determine the ABO blood group subtypes.

OBJECTIVE: To localize and define the region of nucleus export signal (NES) on BRD7, and determine the role of this region in nucleus export of the external protein. METHODS: Based on an in vitro expressed model of green fluorescence protein (GFP), we performed DNA walking analysis to set BRD7 into several sections according to the structural characteristics of BRD7, investigated the effect of different sections of BRD7 on nucleus export of GFP, defined the region of nucleus export signal sequence of BRD7, and further ascertained the content of amino acids in BRD7 and potential localization of BRD7 NES by bioinformatics. RESULTS: B7C1 fragments ranged from aa219 to aa450 in BRD7 were found to target the external protein GFP into the cytoplasm detected by GFP direct fluorescence, which could be inhibited by NES inhibitor Leptomycin B (LMB). This region was rich in hydrophobic amino acid residues but no typical NES with characteristics of leucine-rich sequence by bioinformatics. CONCLUSION The region from aa219 to aa450 is primarily defined as an atypical NES in BRD7.

Objective:To explore the correlation between post-transplant non-HLA antibodies and humoral rejection(HR)after kidney transplantation(KT).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted for KT recipients with non-HLA antibody level detected from September 2019 to January 2021.The recipients with biopsy confirmed HR and donor-specific HLA antibodies negative or feeble positive at the time of HR were designated as HR group while recipients with stable renal allograft function from 2 weeks post-KT to the time of detecting non-HLA antibody as stable group.The levels of HLA antibody, MHC classⅠchain-related gene A(MICA)antibody and 32 non-HLA antibodies were tested by Luminex single antigen bead and the levels of angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor(AT1R)antibody quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Inter-group differences in positive rate of non-HLA antibodies and number of positive non-HLA antibodies were analyzed.Results:Twenty-four recipients had positive non-HLA antibodies while the remainders had no positive non-HLA antibodies.Three HR recipients were positive for actin antibody, collagen Ⅲ antibody, glutathione S-transferase theta-1 antibody or IFN-γ antibody respectively.However, all four non-HLA antibodies of stable recipients were negative.There was significant inter-group difference( P=0.017). Four HR recipients were positive for collagenⅡantibody while only 1 stable recipient was positive for collagenⅡantibody.The positive rate of collagenⅡ antibody was significantly higher in HR recipients than that in stable recipients( P=0.023). HR recipients had an average of 2.36 positive non-HLA antibodies while stable recipients had an average of 0.90.There was significant inter-group difference ( P=0.008). Conclusions:A high level of non-HLA antibodies may elevate the risk of HR after KT.

Objective:To analyze the genetic sequences of two patients with a rare Ael blood subgroup.Methods:Two female patients undergoing treatment respectively for adenomyoma of the uterus and gastritis at the Second Affiliated Hospital, Yuying Children′s Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University in June 2019 and September 2020 were selected as the study subjects. Their Ael subtypes were identified with a saline tube agglutination assay and absorption-emission assay. Sequence of the ABO gene Ael subtypes was determined by the Sanger method. The impact of genetic variants on the structural stability of N-acetylgalactosaminyl transferase (GTA) was analyzed with PyMOL software by constructing a structure predicted model. Results:Both patients were determined as Ael blood subgroup. Sequencing result of patient 1 was ABO* O.01.02/ ABO* O.01.02, which has resulted in a p. Thr88Profs*31 amino acid substitution. The sequencing result of patient 2 was ABO* Ael.06/ ABO* O.01.02, in which c. 425C>T and c. 467C>T variants in exon 7 have led to p. Met142Thr and p. Pro156Leu substitutions. Prediction of the protein model speculated that the p. Met142Thr not only can change the binding of GTA protein with water molecules, but also the local hydrogen bond network of GTA, which may lead to decreased enzymatic activity. By contrast, the p. Pro156Leu variant has trivial effect on the structural stability of GTA. Conclusion:The molecular structure of Ael subtypes can be diverse. The genotypes of the two patients have been respectively determined as ABO* O.01.02/ ABO* O.01.02 with a G261 deletion and ABO* Ael.06/ ABO* O.01.02.

Objective To investigate the current status of infection management quality control centers in county-level hospitals in Guangdong Province,providing reference for the development of quality control management programs for county-level infection control centers by provincial infection control centers,and exploring corresponding management strategies.Methods A survey was conducted using the QuestionStar questionnaire platform to investigate county-level quality control centers established in Guangdong Province before December 31,2023.The survey covered the establishment time,personnel structure,level of in-formatization,management,quality control,and training of hospital infection management professional quality control centers.Results There are 68 county-level infection control centers in Guangdong Province,with a coverage rate of 50.37%,and 95.59%of them have been established within the past five years.Experts mainly come from clinical and nursing backgrounds(accounting for23.75%and62.97%respectively),and the majority have a bachelor's degree(71.06%).Only 13%have operational funding.Among them,39 have established hospital infection informatization monitoring,23 have not been equipped,and 6 are under construction.Twenty centers have conducted quality control supervision and issued quality control reports,ac-counting for 29.41%,while 41 have organized training,accounting for 60.29%.Conclusion The coverage rate of county-level infection management quality control centers in Guangdong Province is steadily increasing,but not all counties and districts are covered.There is a lack of policy and funding support,insufficient personnel allocation,and inadequate professional coverage.The health administrative departments and county-level infection control centers need to unify monitoring standards,quality con-trol specifications,and evaluation programs,improve infection control capabilities,and enhance the"four-level"management and training system to effectively promote the quality and safety management level of primary healthcare institutions.
