Objective:To investigate the relationship between positive rate and titer of hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) and CD4 + T lymphocyte count level in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients after hepatitis B virus (HBV) exposure. Methods:A total of 4 893 HIV-infected patients were admitted to Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2010 to December 2018. The demographic data, HIV-related diagnosis, treatment information, CD4 + T lymphocyte count and serum markers of HBV infection of HIV infected patients were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were grouped according to the CD4 + T lymphocyte count and serum markers of HBV infection, and the differences of anti-HBs positive rate and HBV exposure rate in patients with different CD4 + T lymphocyte counts were compared.The differences of CD4 + T lymphocyte count in patients with different titer of anti-HBs were compared. Statistical analysis was performed using chi-square test, analysis of variance or t test. Results:Patients with HIV infection were divided into CD4 + T lymphocyte count<200/μL group (3 293 cases), 200-500/μL group (1 200 cases) and CD4 + T lymphocyte count>500/μL group (400 cases). The HBV exposure rates in the three groups were 78.0%(2 569/3 293), 77.0%(924/1 200) and 76.2%(305/400), respectively. The anti-HBs positive rates were 38.2%(1 258/3 293), 53.8%(645/1 200) and 62.5%(250/400), respectively. The anti-HBs titers were (120.00±36.45) IU/L, (148.00±26.40) IU/L and (212.00±92.08) IU/L, respectively. The exposure rates of HBV in the three groups were similar ( χ2=0.992, P=0.609), but the positive rates and titers of anti-HBs were significantly different ( χ2=146.779 and F=45.362, respectively, both P<0.01). When the patients were grouped by anti-HBs titer, 2 740 cases were divided into anti-HBs negative group (<10 IU/L), 1 220 cases in low anti-HBs group (10-99 IU/L), 693 cases in medium anti-HBs group (100-499 IU/L) and 240 cases in high anti-HBs group (≥500 IU/L). The CD4 + T lymphocyte count levels of the four groups were (150.00±8.42)/μL, (185.00±7.08)/μL, (243.00±12.07)/μL and (308.00±22.60)/μL, respectively. The overall CD4 + T lymphocyte count levels among the four groups were significantly different ( F=68.479, P<0.01). Among the 90 HIV infected patients who received anti-retroviral therapy (ART), the anti-HBs titer increased from (91.96±21.87) IU/L to (200.76±56.43) IU/L after treatment, and the anti-HBs level before and after treatment was significantly different ( t=-2.542, P=0.035). Among 208 patients with negative HBV markers, no patients had hepatitis B surface antigen switched to positive when monitored for an interval time of (26.2±5.3) months. Conclusions:The risk of HBV exposure in patients with HIV infection is not significantly related to the disease stage, but the positive rate and titer of anti-HBs are significantly positively correlated with CD4 + T lymphocyte count level. The monitoring of anti-HBs and the serum markers of HBV infection in the same individual is conducive to the in-depth understanding of the protective effect of anti-HBs and the scientific evaluation of the risk of infection after HBV exposure.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of liver fibrosis in patients with HBV infection detected by ultrasound transient elastography.Methods:A total of 2 689 patients with HBV infection who received liver transient elastography examination at the Department of Hepatology, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from November 2021 to April 2022 were enrolled in the study. The severity of liver fibrosis was graded according to the liver stiffness value. The association of liver fibrosis detection rate with gender, age and physiological stages of patients was analyzed, and the correlation between liver stiffness value and HBV DNA, HBsAg, HBeAg level, alanine aminotransferase (AST), aspartate aminotransferase (ALT) and serum albumin levels was further analyzed.Results:Among 2 689 patients with chronic HBV infection, there were 1 417 males aged 46 (34, 57) years and 1 272 females aged 45 (33, 55) years. A total of 1 382 patients (51.03%) showed varying degrees of liver fibrosis, including 381 cases (14.20%) of significant liver fibrosis and 259 (9.60%) cases of progressive fibrosis. Male patients had a significantly higher prevalence of liver fibrosis than that of female patients [60.78%(840/1 382) vs. 39.22%(542/1 382), χ2=74.566, P<0.001]. There were significant differences in liver stiffness values and liver fibrosis detection rates ( F=46.516, 199.079, P<0.001) among patients of different age groups. The liver stiffness index (9.41±4.49 vs. 8.10±3.89, t=9.011, P<0.001) and the prevalence of liver fibrosis in males was higher than those in females in age groups younger than 60 years [61.59%(643/1 044) vs. 38.41%(401/1 044), χ2=78.418, P<0.001]; However, there was no significant gender difference in people over 60 years of age [73.80%(200/271) vs. 71.71%(142/198), χ2=0.252, P>0.05; 20.30%(55/271) vs. 21.21%(42/198), χ2=0.059, P>0.05]. The prevalence of liver fibrosis was significantly lower in premenopausal and perimenopausal females than that in males of the same age groups [29.70%(188/633)and 52.20%(154/295) vs. 64.50%(202/313), χ 2=56.683, P<0.001; χ 2=9.519, P=0.029], whereas there was no significant difference between postmenopausal females and males in the same age group [65.40%(220/336) vs. 72.20%(319/441), χ 2=5.822, P=0.061]. The prevalence of liver fibrosis increased significantly in postmenopausal females as compared to premenopausal females[38.40%(497/1 294) vs. 67.50%(532/787), χ 2=56.683, P=0.002]. The value of liver stiffness in patients with chronic HBV infection was positively correlated with total bilirubin, AST and ALT levels( r=0.208, 0.227, 0.218, P<0.05). Conclusions:The prevalence of liver fibrosis detected by ultrasound transient elastography in chronic HBV-infected patients is substantial, the liver stiffness value and detection rate are higher in males than those in females, however, the prevalence is increased in postmenopausal females. The liver stifness value is related to some biochemical indicators of the liver.

Objective:To better evaluate the prevalence and epidemiological characteristics of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) based on liver transient elastography.Methods:It was a cross-sectional study. A total of 6 961 patients without hepatitis, who underwent liver transient elastography examination at the Department of Hepatology, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from November, 2021 to April, 2022 were included. The patients were categorized into normal and mild, moderate, severe MAFLD groups according to FibroTouch controlled attenuation parameters (CAP). The CAP values among different body mass index (BMI) groups were compared using analysis of variance. The distribution characteristics and the incidence of MAFLD in different age, gender, body mass index(BMI), blood glucose and lipids groups using the chi-square test.Results:The total detection rate of MAFLD and severe MAFLD in the population with a BMI≥28.0 kg/m 2 was 99.6% and 71.8%, respectively. The detection rate of MAFLD in people with normal BMI was 28.4%. The detection rate of MAFLD in women of childbearing age or in the perimenopausal period were both significantly lower than that in men of the same age (40.3% vs 54.9%, χ 2=20.78, P<0.001; 43.1% vs 58.4%, χ 2=27.43, P<0.001), but there was no statistically significant difference in MAFLD detection rate between postmenopausal women and men of the same age. The detection rates of MAFLD in the group with abnormal blood glucose and lipids were both significantly higher than those in the group with normal blood glucose and lipids [69.7%(196/281) vs 35.2%(2 354/6 680), χ 2=138.36, P<0.001; 54.3%(1 696/3 124) vs 37.1%(1 420/3 837), χ 2=207.99, P<0.001]. Conclusion:Non-hepatitis patients had a higher prevalence of MAFLD. The BMI, gender, age, blood glucose, and lipids levels are all strongly associated with MAFLD.

Objective:To explore the impact of intradialytic hypotension (IDH) on brain component volume, as well as its relationship with depression and cognitive function changes in maintenance hemodialysis patients.Method:It was a cross-sectional observational study. Clinical data of 119 patients under maintenance hemodialysis in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from July 2013 to July 2014 were collected, retrospectively. Patients were divided into IDH group and non-IDH group. 3.0T Magnetic resonance imaging examination of the head for all patients was completed and the results of volume analysis of each component of the brain were extracted. Cognitive function was assessed by the Chinese version of the simplified mental state examination scale (C-MMSE) and the Chinese version of the Montreal cognitive assessment scale (C-MoCA). Depressive status was assessed by the Hamilton depression scale 17 (HAMD_17) and living ability was assessed by the Alzheimer's disease collaborative study-daily living ability assessment questionnaire. In addition, the Philadelphia word learning test was used to measure memory, the Boston naming test to measure language, the connection test A and B to measure executive ability, and the Stroup test C to measure attention. The differences in brain component volume, cognitive function, emotion, and life ability between two groups of patients were compared, and the correlation between IDH and brain component volume was explored by regression analysis.Result:A total of 119 patients were included in this study, of whom 22 (18.5%) had hypotension during dialysis. The volumes of amygdala, cuneiform lobe, and posterior cingulate gyrus in IDH group were significantly smaller than those in the non-hypotension group [ (1.6±0.2) mm 3vs. (1.7±0.2) mm 3, t=2.674, P=0.009; (6.9±0.8) mm 3vs. (7.4±1.0) mm 3, t=2.187, P=0.031; (6.9±0.8) mm 3vs. (7.4±0.9) mm 3, t=2.252, P=0.024]. The differences of gray matter, white matter volume between the two groups showed a similar trend but did not reach statistical significance. And lacunar infarction and cerebral microbleeds were more common in IDH group. The daily living ability scores of the two groups were similar (65.51±11.52 vs. 65.71±11.53, Z=-0.456, P=0.648). The proportion of patients with cognitive abnormalities was higher in the IDH group, without statistical significance. The proportion of depression was similar. Univariate linear regression analysis showed that IDH was significantly negatively correlated with the volume of amygdala, cuneiform cortex, and posterior cingulate gyrus, which control emotions in the brain ( B=-0.117, 95% CI -0.203--0.030, P=0.009; B=-0.484, 95% CI -0.923--0.046, P=0.031; B=-0.485, 95% CI -0.911--0.058, P=0.026). After multivariate adjustment, decreased amygdala volume was still correlated with IDH ( B=-0.111, 95% CI -0.198--0.025, P=0.026). Conclusion:Recurrent IDH may lead to atrophy of various brain components, which may be one of the reasons for cognitive and emotional changes in maintenance hemodialysis patients.

Objective:To analyze the clinical and pathological characteristics, treatment and prognosis of renal changes in patients with Kimura disease and improve the clinicians′ understanding on renal manifestations of Kimura disease.Methods:The clinical data of Kimura disease patients with definite diagnosis and detailed data in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 1980 to August 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into renal impairment group and non-renal impairment group according to whether the kidney was involved or not and the related clinical data between the two groups were compared. The patients presenting with nephrotic syndrome were followed up.Results:There were 60 patients with Kimura disease confirmed by pathological diagnosis with 48 males. The median age was 33(3, 62) years old, and the median duration was 36(12, 111) months. There were 18 cases complicated with renal injury in 49 patients with complete routine urine and renal function examination and the main manifestations of renal injury were proteinuria and/or microscopic hematuria. There was no significant difference at age, sex and absolute value of eosinophils between the two groups (all P>0.05). Compared with the renal inpairment group, patients in non-renal inpairment group had longer course of disease, higher levels of hypersensitive C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and lower median values of total eosinophils and total IgE, but there was no statistically significant difference (all P>0.05). Among the patients with renal involvement, 6 patients met the diagnostic criteria for nephrotic syndrome, and 5 of them completed renal biopsies. The renal pathological diagnosis was membranous nephropathy in 2 cases and minimal change disease in 3 cases, and no interstitial eosinophil infiltration was found in renal biopsy tissues. These patients had a good response to glucocorticoids and/or immunosuppressive therapy, and achieved complete remission of nephrotic syndrome; at the same time, lymphadenopathy caused by Kimura disease could be well controlled. Conclusions:Kimura disease can combine with various renal lesions, and the pathology of nephrotic syndrome can be membranous nephropathy or minimal change nephropathy. After energetic treatment of glucocorticoids and/or immunosuppressive therapy, nephrotic syndrome can be completely relieved, and lymphadenopathy can be well controlled. The relationship between Kimura disease and renal disease needs further study.

Objective To provide theoretical reference and practical guidance for clinical nursing through Meta-analysis method which is applied to explore the conventional nursing method and improvement intervention nursing methods to prevent liver transplantation the effect of pressure sores. Methods Databases including the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, OVID, China National Knowledge Infrastructure ( CNKI) , Wanfang Data and CBM, were searched by computer to collect the randomized controlled trails and quasi randomized controlled trials about the conventional nursing method and improvement intervention nursing methods for pressure sores of liver transplantation. Chinese Journal of Nursing, Chinese Journal of Modern Nursing, Journal of Nurses Training were searched by hand.The retrieval time was from February First, 1966 to February First, 2016. The studies were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data were extracted and the quality was evaluated by two reviewers independently. Meta-analysis was conducted by RevMan 5.2 software.Results A total of 12 controlled trails involving 1 245 patients were included in this research, and there were 623 patients in the intervention group, and 622 patients in the control group. The results of meta-analysis showed that:the rate of pressure scores in intervention group was lower than the control group [ OR=0.25,95% CI(0.16,0.38),P<0.01],[RR=0.29,95% CI(0.20,0.42),P<0.01]. The overall severity of pressure scores in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group[OR=0.34,95%CI(0.16,0.73),P<0.01],[RR=0.57,95% CI(0.37,0.87),P<0.01].Conclusions In the intervening group the rate of pressure ulcer and the overall severity of pressure scores was significantly lower than that in the control group, which shows that the intervention nursing method can effectively reduce the occurrence and stage of pressure scores in liver transplant patients and reduce the severity of pressure scores.
