ObjectiveTo analyze the detected results of CD4⁺T lymphocytes and viral load in newly identified human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients in Huangpu District of Shanghai in 2023, to explore the correlation between them, so as to provide a scientific basis for the development of targeted prevention and control measures and antiviral treatment programs. MethodsThe data of CD4 cell count, viral load and demographic characteristics of the newly infected patients living with HIV in Huangpu District, Shanghai in 2023 were collected and analyzed by using descriptive epidemiological method. ResultsThe mean CD4 cell count of the 67 newly identified HIV infected patients in Huangpu District was (301.22±235.19) cells·µL^-1, with a mean viral load of (5.15±1.28) ×10⁵ copies·mL^-1.There were statistically significant differences in CD4 cell count and viral load among different age groups (P<0.05), but there were no statistically significant differences by gender and marital status (both P>0.05). The CD4 cell count and CD4/CD8 ratio both were negatively correlated with the lg value of viral load (r=-0.290, -0.378; P=0.027, 0.002). ConclusionThe CD4 cell counts of the newly identified HIV infected patients in Huangpu District in 2023 were generally low, the proportion of patients with high viral load was high, but the risk for elderly infected with HIV was high. The elderly have gradually become the key population for AIDS prevention and control in Huangpu District. It is recommended to expand HIV screening in the elderly to reduce the risk of HIV transmission and increase the rate of early detection and treatment.

Peritoneal metastasis is one of the common site of colorectal cancer metastasis and associated with a poor prognosis. The core strategy for colorectal cancer peritoneal metastasis primarily revolves around a comprehensive treatment approach with cytoreductive surgery and systemic chemotherapy as the mainstay, supplemented by intraperitoneal chemotherapy. As an important supplement to treatment, intraperitoneal chemotherapy has broad application prospects. The main modalities are hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), neoadjuvant intraperitoneal and systemic chemotherapy (NIPS), early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC), sequential postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (SPIC), normothermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (NIPEC) and pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC). To promote the standardized application of intraperitoneal chemotherapy, further research on the mechanisms underlying peritoneal metastasis of colorectal cancer, selection of effective intraperitoneal chemotherapy agents, determination of optimal timing and administration protocols, exploration of the feasibility of sequential intraperitoneal chemotherapy and conduction of valuable basic and clinical research are currently needed. This paper will review the development and origins of intraperitoneal chemotherapy, treatment modalities, as well as the current application status and prospects of various treatment approaches in the context of peritoneal metastasis of colorectal cancer.

Objective:To investigate and analyze the correlation between the expression levels of CD38, HLA-DR and programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) on peripheral blood CD8 +T cells and HIV-1 RNA viral load, immune activation and exhaustion in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Methods:A total of 81 HIV/AIDS patients (64 without antiretroviral therapy and 17 with therapy) and 40 healthy donors in the same period were enrolled as the control group. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the CD4 +T lymphocyte count and the expression levels of activation markers CD38 and HLA-DR and apoptosis marker PD-1 on CD8 +T cells. HIV-1 RNA in the plasma of HIV-1 infected patients was quantitatively detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Variance analysis was used to compare the expression levels of CD38, HLA-DR and PD-1 on CD8 +T cells between HIV/AIDS patients and healthy controls. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between different T lymphocyte counts and HIV RNA viral load, and the correlation between HIV RNA viral load and peripheral blood CD8 +T cell CD38, HLA-DR and PD-1. Results:Among the 81 HIV/AIDS patients, 69 (85.19%) were males and 12 (14.81%) were females, with an age M ( Q1, Q3) of 58 (36.5, 65.0) years. There were 60 HIV/AIDS patients over 55 years old (74.07%) and 21 HIV/AIDS patients between 18 and 55 years old (25.93%). The results of variance analysis showed that compared with the healthy control group, the expression levels of CD38, HLA-DR and PD-1 on CD8 +T cells in HIV/AIDS patients increased, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). In addition, the expression of CD38, HLA-DR and PD-1 increased significantly in patients with CD4 +T cell count less than 350 cells/μl, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that CD4 +and CD4 +/CD8 +were negatively correlated with viral load in HIV/AIDS patients ( r=-0.407 and -0.378, respectively, both P<0.05), and CD8 +was positively correlated with viral load ( r=0.356, P<0.05). When the HIV RNA level was≤10 5 CPs/ml, there was no correlation between the HIV RNA level and the expression levels of CD38, HLA-DR and PD-1 on CD8 +T cells (all P>0.05). However, when the level of HIV RNA was>10 5 CPs/ml, the level of HIV RNA was positively correlated with the expression levels of CD38, HLA-DR and PD-1 on CD8 +T cells ( r=0.412, 0.387, 0.395, respectively, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The activation levels of CD38 and HLA-DR and the expression of PD-1 on CD8 +T cells in the peripheral blood of HIV/AIDS patients are increased. When the viral load is high, the HIV RNA viral load is positively correlated with the activation and exhaustion levels of CD8 +T cells.

Objective:To further improve the understanding of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), we retrospectively analyzed and summarized the clinical characteristics, treatment status, and survival status of patients with PNH in Zhejiang Province.Methods:This study included 289 patients with PNH who visited 20 hospitals in Zhejiang Province. Their clinical characteristics, comorbidity, laboratory test results, and medications were analyzed and summarized.Results:Among the 289 patients with PNH, 148 males and 141 females, with a median onset age of 45 (16-87) years and a peak onset age of 20-49 years (57.8% ). The median lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) level was 1 142 (604-1 925) U/L. Classified by type, 70.9% (166/234) were classical, 24.4% (57/234) were PNH/bone marrow failure (BMF), and 4.7% (11/234) were subclinical. The main clinical manifestations included fatigue or weakness (80.8%, 235/289), dizziness (73.4%, 212/289), darkened urine color (66.2%, 179/272), and jaundice (46.2%, 126/270). Common comorbidities were hemoglobinuria (58.7% ), renal dysfunction (17.6% ), and thrombosis (15.0% ). Moreover, 82.3% of the patients received glucocorticoid therapy, 70.9% required blood transfusion, 30.7% used immunosuppressive agents, 13.8% received anticoagulant therapy, and 6.3% received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The 10-year overall survival (OS) rate was 84.4% (95% CI 78.0% -91.3% ) . Conclusion:Patients with PNH are more common in young and middle-aged people, with a similar incidence rate between men and women. Common clinical manifestations include fatigue, hemoglobinuria, jaundice, renal dysfunction, and recurrent thrombosis. The 10-year OS of this group is similar to reports from other centers in China.
