Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of free highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in adult infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/ acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients in Dehong area. Methods Clinical data of 1039 adult HIV/AIDS patients from five counties/cities in Dehong area who initiated HAART during the period from July 1st 2004 to June 30th 2008 were retrospectively analyzed to examine their virological and immunological responses to HAART. Data were analyzed by Chi-squared test or F test. Results Among the 1039 HIV/AIDS cases, 611 were males and 428 were females. The mean age was (37.0±9.9) years and the mean treatment duration was (22. 41 ± 12. 69) months. Complete viral suppression (HIV viral load<50 copy/mL) was achieved in 781 cases (75. 17%). The percentage of patients achieving complete viral suppression rates were 76.95%, 76.49%, 70.65% and 77. 73% in patients treated for 6-12,13-24, 25-36 and more than 37 months, respectively (x2=8.646, P=0.194). The meanCD4+ T cell counts were (164.93±118.05) × 106/L at baseline, and (330.85±201.73) × 106/L, (356.24±205.49) × 106/L, (434.53±250.65) × 106/L and (396.31±202.62) × 106/L in patients treated for 6- 12, 13-24, 25-36 and more than 37 months, respectively. CD4- T cell counts were significantly different in patients treated for 6-12 and 13-24 months (F= 19. 423 , P<0. 01). Successful immune reconstitution was achieved in 927 ( 90.88 % ) cases. Seven hundred and seventeen (70.29% ) cases achieved both virological suppression and immunological reconstitution with HAART, whereas 40 cases (3. 92%) failed to achieve both virological and immunological responses. Conclusion HIV/AIDS patients in Dehong area show good virological and immunological responses to HAART.

Objective:To explore the influence factors of neurodevelopmental disorders in children with SCN8A-related early-onset epilepsy through analyzing their clinical characteristics and following up their neurodeve-lopmental status. Methods:A retrospective analysis was carried out on 21 children (13 males and 8 females, the age ranged from 4 months to 8 years, average 31.6 months)with SCN8A-related early-onset epilepsy treated in Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center and Kunming Children′s Hospital between January 2017 and February 2021.All patients underwent whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing.The pathogenicity was estimated according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics guidelines.The clinical data of all patients were also collected, including the age of onset of the disease, forms of seizures, seizure frequency, neurological development at onset, electroencephalogram (EEG) and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Besides, the patients were followed up to acquire the effect of sodium channel blockers after the onset of seizures, the process or improvement of neurodeve-lopment, EEG evaluation and neurodevelopmental outcomes.Patients were grouped based on data analysis results.The Fisher′s exact test was conducted to measure the effect of various factors on the neurodevelopmental process and outcome, and corresponding coe-fficients were calculated. Results:The average onset age of 21 patients was 0-9 months.The follow-up duration was 4 months-8 years.Three cases died.Sixteen cases (76.2%) had early infantile epileptic encephalopathy (EIEE), 5 cases (23.8%) had epilepsy without encephalopathy, and 1 case had benign infantile epilepsy.Fourteen cases (66.7%) belonged to drug resistant epilepsy.Only one child showed normal neurodevelopment.Eleven children showed delayed neurodevelopment, but improvement was observed.Nine children were retrogressed and stagnated in terms of neurodevelopment.Small age at onset ( Fisher=9.517, P=0.020, r=0.571), high seizure frequency ( Fisher=10.512, P=0.003, r=0.572), EEG background ( Fisher=10.512, P=0.003, r=0.572), epileptic discharges ( Fisher=8.288, P=0.008, r=0.542), and EEG changes before and after treatment ( Fisher=10.437, P=0.009, r=0.586) were important factors affecting the neurodevelopmental process.Neurodevelopmental outcome was normal in only 1 case, 1 child belonged to mild mental retardation (MR), 7 children belonged to moderate MR, 3 children belonged to severe MR, and 9 children belonged to profound MR.Statistical analysis indicated that the clinical phenotype ( Fisher=10.059, P=0.004, r=0.739) and drug resistance ( Fisher=13.706, P=0.001, r=0.640) were significantly correlated with neurodevelopmental outcomes.However, the forms of seizures, EEG findings at onset and mutation sites were not related to neurodevelopmental disorders. Conclusions:Most children with SCN8A-related early-onset epilepsy are accompanied with neurodevelopmental retardation of varying degrees.Epileptic encephalopathy and poor response to drug treatment will lead to severe neurodevelopmental disorders.

OBJECTIVETo compare follow-up and administration of HIV-infected local Chinese and Burmese in Dehong prefecture of Yunnan province, for scientific development of prevention and control measures.
METHODS14 270 HIV-infected local Chinese and 5 436 HIV-infected Burmese reported from 1989 to December 31, 2013 in Dehong prefecture were recruited as the subjects of study, comparing the differences of follow-up and management, CD4⁺ T lymphocyte count tests and antiretroviral therapy (ART) between the two groups.
RESULTSThe proportion of HIV-infected Burmese identified in Dehong prefecture was 27.6% (5 436/19 706) during 1989-2013. The number had been growing rapidly from 17.1% in 1989-2003, 12.4% in 2004 and 14.7% in 2005 to over 51.4% in 2012, hitting 59.4% in 2013 (trends χ² = 1 732.84, P < 0.000 1). The proportion of HIV-infected Burmese among case reports of various characteristics kept rising over the years. By the end of 2013, 8 095 HIV-infected local Dehong residents and 5 326 HIV-infected Burmese were still alive. 95.8% of them were under follow-up, 88.5% having CD4⁺ T lymphocyte count tests, and 78.3% under ART. Among the HIV-infected B urmese, only 19.2% of them were under follow-up, 13.0% having CD4⁺ T lymphocyte count tests, and 6.1% under ART, significantly lower than the local Dehong residents (P < 0.000 1).
CONCLUSIONThe proportion of follow-up and administration, CD4⁺ T lymphocyte count tests, and ART of HIV-infected Burmese was low in Dehong prefecture, Yunnan province, which called for more effective follow-up and administration measures.

OBJECTIVETo examine the proportion and influencing factors on HIV-infected individuals who rejecting the antiretroviral therapy among all the HIV positives, in Dehong prefecture, Yunnan province.
METHODSA cross-sectional analysis was conducted on all the local HIV-infected survivals aged over 16 year old who refused to receive antiretroviral therapy (ART) by the end of 2013 in Dehong prefecture.
RESULTSThe proportion of those rejecting the ART among HIV-infected survivals and aged over 16 years old in Dehong prefecture, was 7.4% (605/8 136). Factors related to the 'rejection' among the 605 refusals would include: being male (72.9%), aged 31-45 years (57.2%), peasants (75.4%), married (52.2%), with minor ethnicity (41.3%), illiterate or only having primary school education (58.7%), infected through sexual contacts (61.2%), and with CD4(+)T cell counts >350 cells/mm(3) (66.6%). Data from the multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that rejecting the ART was significantly associated with areas, gender, age, ethnicity and CD4(+)T cell counts of the HIV patients. Those who were from Yingjiang county, female, aged 31-45 years old had lower proportions of ART refusals than those who were from Ruili city, male, aged ≤30 year old. Those who were of Dai minority and had no records on CD4(+)T cell counts, had higher proportions of ART refusals than those who were of Han ethnicity and had CD4(+)T cell counts ≤350 cells/mm(3). Reasons for the 605 HIV-infected patients with rejection to the ART would include fear of disclosure of HIV infection status (84, 13.9%), misunderstandings of the effectiveness and side effects of ART (111, 18.3%), self-realized wellness(340, 56.2%) and others (70, 11.6%). Of them, reasons for the 181 patients with CD4(+)T cell counts ≤350 cells/mm(3) that rejecting ART would include fearfulness on the disclosure of HIV infection status(40, 22.1%), misunderstandings of the effectiveness and side effects of ART (36, 19.9%), self-realized wellness (84, 46.4%) and others (21, 11.6%). Among those who rejected ART, reasons for that would vary by areas, gender, age, marital status and routes of HIV transmission, according to the results from Chi-squared tests.
CONCLUSIONA substantial proportion of HIV-infected individuals rejected ART in Dehong prefecture of Yunnan province. It was urgently needed to enhance health education programs of ART tailored for those HIV-infected patients, according to different characteristics and reasons for rejection, so as to promote the ART in this prefecture.

OBJECTIVETo understand HIV rival suppression and drug resistance (HIVDR) among AIDS patients who were receiving antiretroviral treatment (ART) in Dehong prefecture, Yunnan province.
METHODSAll AIDS patients who were aged over 15 years and with experience more than six months on ART by the end of 2012 in Dehong prefecture, were enrolled to receive testing for HIV viral load in plasma and genetic mutations associated with HIVDR.
RESULTSA total of 4 390 AIDS patients were qualified for the study according to the selection criteria, of whom 3 964 (90.3%) finally participated in the study. Among them, 2 307(58.2%) had CD₄(+) cell counts more than 350 cells/mm³. 3 169 (79.9%) patients showed undetectable plasma HIV viral load which was lower than the detection threshold. Those who had the following factors as:resided in Ruili city, being female, older than 45 years of age, married, heterosexually infected with HIV, having received ART more than 5 years, and CD₄(+) cell counts >500 cells/mm³, were more likely to have undetectable plasma virus load, with the differences statistically significant. 402 (10.1%) patients had plasma viral load ≥ 1 000 copies/ml, of whom 353 (87.8%) were successfully amplified and examined for HIVDR. Among them, 198 (56.1% ) were identified to bear genetic mutations associated with HIVDR. Most mutations were related to the resistance to nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) or non-nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), with M184V and K103N most frequently seen. 12 patients (3.4%) were found to have mutations resistant to protease inhibitors (PI). Data from multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that the period of receiving ART and the initial ART regimen could both significantly predict the occurrence of HIV resistance.
CONCLUSIONViral suppression was highly achieved among ART-prescribed AIDS patients in Dehong prefecture,Yunnan province. However, among those who did not show effective viral suppression, the proportion of HIVDR was high, underscoring the needs for health education so as to improve the adherence to drugs as well as for improving testing for viral load and HIVDR among AIDS patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the demographic characteristics, high-risk behavior and first CD4+T cell(CD4 cell) counts among newly reported HIV-infected Burmese in Dehong Dai Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture (Dehong Prefecture) from 2019 to 2020. MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among newly reported HIV-infected Burmese cases in Dehong Prefecture from 2019 to 2020 to collect related information and measure their first CD4 cell counts. ResultsAmong 1 228 HIV-infected Burmese cases, 846 (68.9%) were males and 382 (31.1%) were females; 445 (36.2%) were from Kachin, and 210(17.1%) were from Shan. Of them, 960 cases (78.2%) had participated in the first CD4 cell counts testing, and 405 cases (42.2%) had a first CD4 cell counts <350 cells·μL-1. In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, age ≥30 years (adjusted OR=1.44, 95%CI: 1.07‒1.92) and history of illicit drug use in Myanmar (adjusted OR=0.41, 95%CI: 0.21‒0.79) were independently associated with first CD4 cell counts <350 cells·μL-1. ConclusionThe first CD4 cell counts are generally low among newly reported HIV-infected Burmese in Dehong Prefecture, especially those aged ≥ 30 years and with a history of intravenous drug use in Myanmar. Therefore, early detection of HIV infection should be strengthened for timely intervention and treatment management among Burmese.

ObjectiveTo investigate the factors that influence the first CD4+T lymphocyte counts in newly reported HIV-infected cases aged 50 and above in Dehong Prefecture of Yunnan Province during 2016 to 2021, and to understand the patient immune status and disease progression so as to provide scientific basis for HIV prevention and control strategies in the future. MethodsData was collected from the national HIV/AIDS information system. Multivariate logistic regression was used for the analysis of factors affecting the first CD4+T lymphocyte counts. ResultsA total of 642 cases of HIV infection were newly reported, among them, 571 cases had CD4+T lymphocyte counts and 200 cases (35.03%) had CD4+T lymphocyte counts <200 cells·μL-1. Patients who were in the 50-59 age group, male, divorced or widowed, and less educated were more likely to have CD4+T lymphocyte counts <200 cells·μL-1. Compared with active testing consultants, forced reeducation through labor or drug rehabilitation cases were less likely to have CD4+T lymphocyte counts <200 cells·μL-1. ConclusionThere is no obvious upward trend in newly reported HIV infected persons aged 50 years and above in Dehong Prefecture during 2016 to 2021. However, the situation of CD4+T lymphocyte counts <200 cells·μL-1 is still serious. Attention should be paid to the key groups: male, Chinese nationality, farmers, Han nationality, married or divorced, junior high school education or below, and heterosexual transmission. It is necessary to strengthen the intervention in people aged 50 and above and improve the detection efficiency.
