We built rats model of endometriosis applying autologus endometrial transplants to compare the graft vol-ume of the modeling rats before and after dosing,serum tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α)levels in rats,and the expressions of vascular endothelial cell growth factor(VEGF)in ectopic endometrium.To compare with the control group,the graft volume of DingKunDan group was reduced and the serum TNF-αlevel declined ,and also the ex-pression of VEGF in ectopic endometrium was reduced.Their differences were statistically significant (P <0.05). DingKunDan can inhibit the growth of ectopic endometrium in endometrosis model rats.The mechanism may be re-lated to the decrease of the serum TNF-αlevel and the VEGF expression.

Objective:To explore the changing trends and influencing factors of AIDS-related and non-AIDS-related deaths after receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) among HIV-positive individuals in Dehong Dai Jingpo autonomous prefecture (Dehong) from 2010 to 2019.Methods:Based on the Chinese National treatment database, HIV patients who initiated ART from 2010 to 2019 were included in the analysis. The cumulative incidence function was used to estimate the cumulative incidence of AIDS-related death and non-AIDS-related death, respectively. The Fine-Grey model was used to compare the differences between AIDS-related and non-AIDS-related deaths and analyze its influencing factors.Results:A total of 7 068 HIV-positive individuals were included, of which 388 were AIDS-related deaths and 570 were non-AIDS-related deaths. The cumulative mortality rate at years 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 9 after receiving ART were 2.27%, 3.46%, 4.47%, 5.03%, 5.84%, 6.61%, 7.40% for AIDS-related deaths, and 1.63%, 3.11%, 4.68%, 6.02%, 7.42%, 10.49%, 12.75% for non-AIDS-related deaths, respectively. In the Fine-Grey model, older age at ART initiation, male, unmarried, injection drug use as the transmission route, lower baseline BMI, lower baseline CD4 + T cell counts, baseline FIB-4 score >3.25, and baseline anemia were risk factors for AIDS-related death. In contrast, age at ART initiation ≥45 years, male, Dai, and Jingpo minority ethnicities, unmarried, injection drug use as the transmission route, lower baseline BMI, baseline FIB-4 score >3.25, baseline eGFR <60 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2, and baseline anemia were risk factors for non-AIDS-related deaths. Conclusions:The cumulative mortality rate was low among HIV-positive individuals after receiving ART in Dehong during 2010-2019. The mortality of non-AIDS-related deaths was higher than that of AIDS-related deaths. There were also differences in the factors influencing AIDS-related and non-AIDS-related deaths and interventions should be intensified to target the influencing factors for non-AIDS-related deaths.

Objective:To investigate the incidence of anemia and risk factors in HIV/AIDS patients with access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) during 2004-2018 in Dehong Jingpo and Dai Autonomous Prefecture (Dehong).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted in HIV/AIDS patients receiving ART in Dehong during 2004-2018 based on the data extracted from the National HIV/AIDS antiretroviral therapy database. Cox proportional risk model was used to analyze the factors associated with the incidences of anemia and moderate or severe anemia in the HIV/AIDS patients. And the piecewise linear mixed-effects model was used to depict the trajectory of hemoglobin changes over time after initiating ART according to baseline level.Results:A total of 8 044 HIV/AIDS patients were included, in whom 6 337 (78.8%) were without anemia at baseline survey and had a median follow up time of 4.43 ( P 25, P 75: 1.50, 6.71) years. The median follow up time for 1 291 new anemia cases and 293 new moderate or severe anemia cases was 0.16 ( P 25, P 75: 0.07, 1.99) years and 0.48 ( P 25, P 75:0.09, 2.97) years, respectively. The incidence rate of anemia and moderate or severe anemia was 4.40 per 100 person-years and 0.41 per 100 person-years respectively. In multivariable Cox regression analysis, older age, being female, being in Dai and Jingpo ethnic group, baseline BMI <18.5 kg/m 2, baseline CD4 +T lymphocyte cell counts (CD4) <200 cells/μl, and zidovudine (AZT) -based initial treatment regimen were factors significantly and positively associated with incidence of anemia after treatment. Factors as being female, being in Dai ethnic group, baseline BMI <18.5 kg/m 2, mild baseline anemia, and AZT-based initial treatment regimen were significantly and positively associated with incidence of moderate or severe anemia after treatment. Conclusion:The risk for anemia was higher in HIV/AIDS patients with specific characteristics, such as age ≥60 years , being female, being in Dai and Jingpo ethnic groups, lower BMI, CD4 <200 cells/μl, and treatment of AZT, after initiation of ART in Dehong during 2004-2018. Additional efforts are needed to strengthen the screening, prevention and treatment of anemia in this population.

Objective:To explore the dynamic change of platelet count and related factors in HIV-infected patients with access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Dehong Dai and Jingpo autonomous prefecture of Yunnan province.Methods:A longitudinal analysis was used to analyze the dynamic change of platelet count in HIV-infected patients with access to ART. Linear mixed model (LMM) was used to analyze factors associated with the dynamic change of platelet count. Stratified analysis and sensitivity analysis were also conducted.Results:A total of 761 HIV-infected patients were recruited and 608 cases had at least one follow-up record (80.0%,608/761). 374, 555 and 233 cases were investigated in follow-up visits at month 6, 12 and 24, respectively. The mean platelet count and the proportion of higher platelet count (>300×10 9/L) were significantly higher in women than in men at both baseline survey and each follow-up visit ( P<0.05). Among patients with no obvious liver fibrosis, the mean platelet count was significantly higher in women than in men at baseline survey and each follow-up visit; while in the patients with liver fibrosis, the mean baseline platelet count was still significantly higher in women than in men, but the difference had no significance at follow-up visits. Results of LMM revealed that follow-up platelet count was positively correlated with gender ( β=5.90, 95% CI: 1.09-10.70, P=0.016), baseline platelet count ( β=0.82, 95% CI: 0.79-0.86, P<0.001) and time ( β=1.76, 95% CI: 1.52-2.01, P<0.001). Sensitivity analysis among 220 cases who had both 12- and 24-month follow-up visits further confirmed that follow-up platelets count was still positively associated with gender ( β=10.50, 95% CI: 2.24-18.74, P=0.013), baseline platelet count ( β=0.71, 95% CI: 0.65-0.77, P<0.001) and time ( β=1.60, 95% CI: 1.20-1.99, P<0.001) but negatively associated with age ( β=-0.42, 95% CI: -0.78--0.06, P=0.021). Conclusions:The platelet count of HIV-infected patients gradually increased after ART. The mean platelet count was consistently higher in women than in men. Attention should be paid to the gender specific difference in platelet count in HIV-infected patients and timely intervention should be given to reduce the morbidity and mortality of platelet-related diseases.

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
