OBJECTIVE To retrospectively analyze the clinical characteristics of the benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) secondary to the sudden deafness (SD) and to explore the possible pathogenetic mechanism, diagnosis and treatment. METHODS 218 cases of the SD in our department were retrospectively analyzed, and 37 patients with primary BPPV during the same period were used as control group. All patients were confirmed by the examination of Dix-Hallpike and the roll check,the primary disease (sudden deafness) of secondary BPPV patients were in line with the Chinese Medical Association diagnostic criteria. RESULTS In all these patients with SD,there were 91 cases with BPPV secondary to the SD. There were 67 cases of BPPV of posterior semicircular canal and 21 cases of BPPV of lateral BPPV semicircular canal. Besides, 3 cases were of multi-semicircular canal affected. All patients with BPPV were diagnosed as the same ears as the SD. The symptoms were alleviated and initial success rate was 68.1%. During 6-22 month follow-ups, total success rate was 100%, and recurrence rate was7.7% (7/91). The hearing recovery of high frequency is worse than that of the low frequency. There were 2 cases of recurrence in lateral BPPV group, 5 cases in posterior BPPV group. All were cured by reposositioning maneuver. All patients with primary and secondary BPPV were cured with Epley maneuver or Barbecue roll maneuver, and the curative effect of them is similar. CONCLUSION The occurrence of BPPV may follow SD,and the majority of BPPV secondary to the SD occurs in the posterior semicircular canal. The canalith repositioning is an effective therapy for secondary BPPV.

Neonatal mortality has been significantly decreased because of the development of neo-natal respiratory support techniques. Nevertheless,constant and high frequency ventilators have some limita-tions to solve all problems in neonatal respiratory failure. Special mechanical ventilation,mainly including he-liox and partial liquid ventilation,provides new respiratory support for newborn infants. The clinical signifi-cance of heliox and partial liquid ventilation need further investigation.

Objective:
To understand the survival status and influencing factors of HIV/AIDS patients with highly active antiretroviral therapy ( HAART ) among drug users in Yili Prefecture, Xinjiang from 2005 to 2019, so as to provide references for reducing AIDS mortality.
Methods :
The demographic information, clinical stage, baseline CD4+T lymphocyte ( CD4 ) level and treatment status of HIV/AIDS patients with HAART in Yili Prefecture from 2005 to 2019 were collected through AIDS Antiretroviral Therapy Information System. The survival rate was calculated by the life table method. The influencing factors for survival time were analyzed by Cox proportional hazard regression model.
Results:
Totally 1 935 patients were recruited, the median age receiving HAART was 37 years old and the median CD4 counts was 293/μL. The cumulative survival rates at 1, 5, 7 and 10 years were 97%, 78%, 73%, and 66%, respectively. The multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that the patients with body mass index of 18.5-<28.0 kg/m2 ( HR: 0.391-0.656, 95%CI: 0.234-0.958 ), baseline CD4>200/μL ( HR: 0.354-0.667, 95%CI: 0.232-0.841 ) , or missed medication in the last 7 days ( HR=0.009, 95%CI: 0.001-0.061 ) had lower risk of death; the patients with WHO clinical stage of Ⅱ-Ⅳ ( HR: 1.479-2.311, 95%CI: 1.004-3.288 ) or treatment delay ≥1 years ( HR: 1.287-1.388, 95%CI: 1.029-1.826 ) had higher risk of death.
Conclusions
The 5-year cumulative survival rate of HIV/AIDS patients with HAART in Yili Prefecture is 78%. Body mass index, baseline CD4 level, WHO clinical stage, treatment delay and missed medication in last 7 days were the influencing factors for survival time.
