Objective To understand the current status of receiving no methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) and influencing factors in HIV infected injecting drug users (IDUs) in Dehong Dai and Jingpo autonomous prefectures,Yunnan province.Methods Data of survival of IDUs with AIDS in Dehong were collected from "Chinese National Comprehensive HIV/AIDS and Care Information System" in December,2014.Results There were 987 IDUs who should receive MMT,the majority of them were males (94.6%,934/987),aged 35-44 years (53.0%,523/987) and farmers (77.2%,762/987).Among the 987 IDUs,60.2% (592/987) received no MMT.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that being female (OR=2.66,95%CI:1.21-5.87),in Jingpo ethnic group (OR=3.05,95%CI:1.97-4.71) were the major risk factors for receiving no MMT;not being farmers (OR=0.46,95%CI:0.31-0.70),in Dai ethnic group (OR=0.53,95%CI:0.36-0.79),diagnosed HIV infection history ≥ 10 years (OR=0.60,95%CI:0.45-0.81) were the major protective factors for receiving no MMT.The reasons for receiving no MMT included long distance journey (289,48.8%),fear of exposure (124,20.9%),poor daily medication compliance (59,10.0%),fear of side effects (47,7.9%),others (73,12.3%).Conclusions The proportion of receiving no MMT in IDUs with AIDS in Dehong was high.Being female and farmer,in Jingpo ethnic group,low educational level,short diagnosed HIV infection history were influencing factors for receiving no MMT.The effective intervention measures should be taken to further improve MMT coverage according to the different characteristics of the patients.

Objective:To investigate the effect of positive and negative pressure extubation on mechanical ventilation patients in the intensive care unit (ICU).Methods:A prospective randomized controlled study was performed, 105 ICU patients who successfully passed the spontaneous breathing test (SBT) after mechanical ventilation of Nanjing Jiangbei Hospital Affiliated to Nantong University from January 2019 to March 2021 were enrolled. According to random number table method, they were randomly divided into positive pressure extubation group (53 cases) and negative pressure extubation group (52 cases). During extubation, all patients were placed in semi-decubitus position (raising the head of bed at an angle range from 30°- 45°), the secretions from mouth, nose, throat and trachea were removed. In the negative pressure extubation group, the sputum suction tube was inserted into the tracheal tube and passed over the distal opening to carry out continuous negative pressure suction in the tracheal tube after disconnecting the ventilator. Meanwhile, after the tracheal tube balloon was evacuated, the sputum suction tube was pulled out together with the tracheal tube. In the positive pressure extubation group, the patients were guided to inspiratory forcibly under the original SBT mode. When the patients reached the inspiratory peak, the ballon was evacuated and the tracheal tube was removed. After extubation, all patients were given nasal catheter oxygen inhalation (oxygen flow 5 L/min). Arterial blood gas analysis indexes [pH value, arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2) and arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2)] were recorded 5 minutes and 1 hour after extubation in both groups. Vital signs (including tachypnea, tachycardia, elevated blood pressure and decreased oxygen saturation) and complications (including severe cough, airway hyperresponsiveness and pneumonia) were observed 30 minutes after extubation in both groups. Results:Five minutes after extubation, blood gas analysis showed that the PaO 2 of positive pressure extubation group was significantly higher than that of negative pressure extubation group [mmHg (1 mmHg≈0.133 kPa): 123.4±30.2 vs. 111.0±21.1, P < 0.05], the pH value and PaCO 2 in positive pressure extubation group were slightly lower than that of negative pressure extubation group [pH value: 7.411±0.042 vs. 7.419±0.040, PaCO 2 (mmHg): 39.7±4.7 vs. 40.5±5.6], but the differences were not statistically significant (both P > 0.05). One hour after extubation, the pH value, PaO 2 and PaCO 2 in positive pressure extubation group were slightly lower than those in negative pressure extubation group, but the differences were not statistically significant. Within 30 minutes after extubation, the incedences of tachypnea, tachycardia, elevated blood pressure and oxygen desaturationin in positive pressure extubation group were significantly lower than those in negative pressure extubation group [tachypnea: 9.4% (5/53) vs. 28.8% (15/52), tachycardia: 15.1% (8/53) vs. 32.7% (17/52), elevated blood pressure: 11.3% (6/53) vs. 30.8% (16/52), oxygen desaturation: 7.5% (4/53) vs. 34.6% (18/52), all P < 0.05], the incidence of severe cough in positive pressure extubation group was significantly lower than that in negative pressure extubation group [9.4% (5/53) vs. 30.8% (16/52), P < 0.05], but there was no significant difference in the incidence of complications of airway hyperresponsiveness between the two groups [1.9% (1/53) vs. 5.8% (3/52), P > 0.05]. No pneumonia occurred in both groups within 48 hours after extubation. Conclusion:The positive pressure extubation method can ensure full oxygenation of patients undergoing mechanical ventilation in ICU, avoid hypoxia, and reduce the occurrence of hypoxia and severe cough, which is more conducive to the stability of vital signs.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of neutrophil CD64 index in sepsis patients in intensive care unit (ICU).Methods:A prospective case-control study was conducted, the patients admitted to ICU of Jiangbei People's Hospital Affiliated to Nantong University from December 2016 to June 2020 were enrolled. According to the criteria of Sepsis 3, 107 patients diagnosed with sepsis were classified as the sepsis group, 112 patients without infection were classified as control group. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected within 24 hours after ICU admission, neutrophil CD64 index, C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), white blood cell count (WBC) were detected. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of neutrophil CD64 index, CRP, PCT and WBC for sepsis.Results:The neutrophil CD64 index, CRP and PCT in sepsis group were significantly higher than those in control group [neutrophil CD64 index: 9.03±5.59 vs. 3.18±1.50, CRP (mg/L): 146.9±68.3 vs. 46.5±35.8, PCT (ng/L): 31.82±14.71 vs. 1.87±1.42, all P < 0.05]. ROC curve analysis showed that neutrophil CD64 index, CRP and PCT had certain diagnostic value for sepsis, the area under ROC curve (AUC) were 0.924, 0.915 and 0.879, respectively, the 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were 0.871-0.978, 0.855-0.975, 0.807-0.951, respectively, P values were 0.016, 0.017 and 0.026, respectively. Among the three indicators, the diagnostic value of neutrophil CD64 index was much higher. When the optimal cut-off value was 4.32, the sensitivity and specificity were 83.6% and 88.7%, respectively, which were higher than the sensitivity (75.1%, 76.3%) and specificity (87.2%, 82.5%) of CRP and PCT. Conclusion:Neutrophil CD64 index is a valuable biomarker for the diagnosis of sepsis in ICU.
