Objective: To evaluate the effect of echocardiography for occluding the multiple seconded atria1 septal defects ( MASD) in relevant patients.
Methods: A total of 42 MASD patients were selected by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) or transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). The transcatheter closure was monitored by TTE and X-ray, the effect of treatment was evaluated by TTE, ECG and chest X-ray at 24 hours and 1, 3, 6 months after the procedure. There were 38 patients with 2 defects, 3 with many central small defects and 1 with 3 defects. The patients included 17 male and 25 female with the mean age of (32.6 ± 13.4) years.
Results: The size and distance of the defects were measured with 4 cardiac chambers cross sectional study. The mean diameter of bigger defect from up to down was (9-27) mm, with the mean of (20.7 ± 6.1) mm, from front to back was (8-23) mm, with the mean of (16.9 ± 5.7) mm;the mean diameter of small defect from up to down was (3-12) mm, with the mean of (6.8 ± 3.6) mm. The length of the defect interva1 was (4-18) mm, with the mean of (7.9 ± 2.6) mm. There were 4 patients with 2 defect interval at 8.7 mm who received 2 occluders without post-operative lfow shunt. The rest 38 patients received 1 Amplatzer occluder which was (14-36) mm with the mean of (25.1 ± 6.4) mm which was (6.9 ± 1.7) mm larger than echocardiographic prediction. The success rate of implantation was 100%. There were 17 (40.5%) patients with post-operative lfow shunt. The patients were followed-up for (6-36) months, with the mean of 18.7 months, there were 11 (26.2%) patients with small amount of lfow shunt at 3 months after the operation.
Conclusion: Echocardiography is important for choosing the type and size of occluder devices, in-operative monitoring and post-operative effect evaluation for treating the ASD patients.

Objective To estimate the incidence of drop out of treatment in patients with access to methadone maintenance treatment and explore the correlation and interaction between insufficient methadone dosage and morphine positive urine on the drop out in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.Methods Face to face interview was conducted in 1 031 patients at 3 methadone maintenance treatment clinics in Guangxi.Results The study included 1 031 participants,40.6% of them (419/1 031) had stopped treatment.The drop out rates in urine morphine positive group and methadone dosage < 100 mg/d group were 57.6% (99/172) and 37.4% (347/929) respectively,higher than those in urine morphine negative group and methadone dosage ≥ 100 mg/d group (42.3%,363/ 859,and 26.5%,27/102).Orderly logistic regression analysis results showed that after adjusted factors,such as gender,age,marital status,ethnic group,patients who received a dosage less than 1 00 mg/day (OR=3.05,95%CI:1.84-5.06) and had morphine positive urine (OR=2.25,95%CI:1.59-3.19) were more likely to drop out of the treatment.Interaction analysis showed that dosage less than 100 mg/d and morphine positive urine during treatment had additive interaction (RERI=256.46,AP=0.87,S=8.05) and multiplication interaction (OR=2.45,95%CI:1.71-3.49).Conclusion Insufficient dosage and morphine positive urine were significantly correlated with drop out of treatment in patients with access to methadone maintenance treatment.

Objective To reveal the prevalence and the related factors of hepatitis B (HepB) virus infection among HIV/AIDS patients.Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study in two HIV clinics,affiliated to local Centers of Disease Control and Prevention in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Regional.A face-to-face interview,with questionnaire was conducted to collect information on socio-demographic characteristics,drug use,and sexual behavior.Blood samples were used to test HBsAg.x2 test or Fisher's exact test and unconditional logistic regression models were used to identify the influencing factors.Results The prevalence of HBV and HIV co-infection was 13.85% (113/816).Results from multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that age (25-45),family history of HBV and history of HepB vaccination were independent influencing factors for HBV and HIV coinfection,with OR (95% CI) as 1.738 (1.031-2.931),2.898 (1.678-5.005) and 1.744 (1.052-2.892),respectively.Conclusion The prevalence of HBV among HIV/AIDS patients was significantly higher than that in general population.HIV/AIDS patients aged between 25 and 45 and with family history of HBV were more likely to be infected with HBV,while HepB vaccination was associated with the reduction of HIV/HBV coinfection.Specific comprehensive prevention and treatment programs on HIV/AIDS patients need to be set up.

Objective To analyze the expression level of YEATS2 in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)about its clinical prognosis and therapeutic value based on biological information from the cancer genome atlas(TCGA)and human protein atlas(HPA)databases.Methods The mRNA expression data and clinical information of HCC were downloaded from the TCGA database,the expression of YEATS2 between HCC tissues and normal tissues was analyzed by using the R software,and the protein expression differences were preliminary verified by the HPA database.The expression differences of YEATS2 between various clinical features of HCC were compared,and their effects on the survival of HCC patients by Kaplan-Meier method and COX regression analysis were then evaluated.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were plotted to evaluate their diagnostic values.The biological functions of YEATS2 in HCC were analyzed using gene ontology(GO)and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG)enrichment analysis.The relationship between YEATS2 expression and tumor microenvironment(TME)was analyzed by the"ESTIMATE"algorithm,and its relationship with tumor-infiltrating immune cells(TIICs)was assessed by CIBERSORT.Analysis of YEATS2 expression levels to immune checkpoints and drug sensitivity was performed using the R package.Results The expression of YEATS2 was increased in HCC tissues(P=4.96e-21),and its expression level was correlated with age,clinical stage,pathological grade and T stage(all P<0.05).Overall survival(OS)(P<0.001)and progression-free survival(FPS)(P=0.016)were decreased in HCC patients with high expression of YEATS2,COX regression results showed that the expression level ofYEATS2 was associated with poor prognosis in HCC patients(OS:HR=2.167,95%CI:1.441~3.261,P=2.06e-04),and it was an independent risk factor for predicting poor prognosis in HCC patients(OS:HR=1.891,95%CI:1.243~2.877,P=0.003).The ROC curve suggested the AUCs for 1,3 and 5 years were 0.677,0.622 and 0.612,respectively,indicating good predictive ability.The TCGA database screened a total of 6 764 differential genes in the YEATS2 high and low expression groups,of which 4 094 genes were up-regulated and 2 670 genes were down-regulated in the YEATS2 high expression group.The results of GO and KEGG enrichment analyses showed that the differentially differentiated genes in the YEATS2 high expression group were mainly enriched in immunoregulation,and cell cycle regulation drug resistance pathway.The results of the TME score showed that the YEATS2 high expression group caused a decrease in immunity score(P<0.01).The correlation between YEATS2 and TIICs showed that YEATS2 expression was positively correlated with the level of M0-type macrophage infiltration levels(r=0.48,P<0.001)and 23 immune checkpoint genes(r=0.20~0.46,all P<0.05),and was negatively correlated with the CD8+T-cells,plasma cells and monocyte(r=-0.26,-0.29,-0.30,P=0.021,0.011,0.008).Drug sensitivity analysis showed that the half maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50)of cabozantinib,lincitinib,doxorubicin,and cyclobenzaprine in patients with high expression of YEATS2 was higher than those in patients with low expression(all P<0.01).Conclusion YEATS2 was highly expressed in HCC,and the expression level was associated with poor prognosis in HCC patients.YEATS2 can be used as a biomarker for the clinical early diagnosis,prognosis and immunotherapy of HCC,which may provide new ideas for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
