Objective:
To obtain HIV incidence among injection drug users (IDU) and female sex workers (FSW) in Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan Province during 2009-2017.
Methods:
We recruited drug users and female sex workers from all sentinel surveillance sites across Dehong Prefecture during 2009-2017. A total of 10 480 IDU and 18 126 FSW in Dehong Prefecture were recruited by fingerprint technique. Data about drug uses, commercial sexual behavior, sociodemographic characteristics was collected by structured questionnaire. HIV-positive patients who were long-term infected or with CD4+ T cell count was ≤200 were not included for further HIV incidence testing. Also, those who self-identified as on antiretroviral treatment (ART) or AIDS cases were also excluded. A total of 841 and 157 plasma specimens from IDU and FSW that met the inclusion criterion were finally included, respectively. Limiting antigen avidity enzyme immunoassay(LAg-Avidity EIA) were performed to calculate the HIV incidence among these two sub-populations.
Results:
A total of 3 444 IDU were HIV-positive, among which 884 (25.7%) were Burmese with age of (30.4±7.7), and 2 560 were Chinese with age of (36.6±7.3). Among 228 HIV-positive FSW, 109 (47.8%) were Burmese with age of (27.1±6.3), 119 (52.5%) were Chinese with age of (29.9±11.1). For IDU, the estimated HIV incidence among Burmese in 2009-2010, 2011-2012, 2013-2014, 2015-2017 was 4.20% (95

Background. Transesophageal echocardiography(TEE) is an advanced technique. The purpose of this article is to discuss the complication and safety of the TEE.Method. Fifteen hundred and fifty-two patients with heart disease were examined with monoplane, biplane and omniplane TEE probe(including male 727, female 825;9~76 years old). During the same period, 113 307 precordial echocardiographic examinations were performed in our laboratory. The ratio between TEE and transthoracic Echo examines was 1:73.Result.All different kinds of complication were occurred during TEE examination, including vomiting, minor mucus bleeding, laryngospasm, mandibular dislocation, angina pectoris, arrhythmia, even ventricular fibrillation and death. The article suggested that there were five steps must be improved during TEE examination including instrument and patients preparation, local anesthesia, manipulation technique and TEE probes pattern.Conclusion. Although TEE is a semiinvasive technique and can cause some kinds of complication, it is a safe technique if the five steps are improved.
