Objective:To investigate the sero-conversion rate of HIV antibody and influencing factors in cross-border couples in Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture(Dehong).Methods:A cohort design was used to recruit HIV-negative people in cross-border couples in Dehong in 2017. Follow-up was conducted in 2023, and questionnaire survey and HIV test were carried out to calculate the sero-conversion rate of HIV antibody. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the influence factors for HIV infections.Results:A total of 36 278 HIV-negative persons in cross-border couples were included in the 2017 baseline survey, of whom 22 438 (61.9%) were tested in follow-up in 2023. The sero-conversion rate between 2017 and 2023 was 0.51% (115/22 438). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that length of marriage <6 years, Jingpo ethnic group, education level of primary school or below, drug use, illegal marriage and HIV infected spouse were the risk factors of HIV infection in male spouses, and length of marriage <6 years, Jingpo ethnic group, illegal marriage and HIV infected spouse were the risk factors in female spouses.Conclusions:The sero-conversion rate of HIV antibody in cross-border couples in Dehong was relatively high. HIV infection was mainly caused by secondary transmission in the couples, and men might also be infected through drug use. It is necessary to strengthen the registration and management of cross-border couples, especially the couples with discordant HIV infection status, and the intervention in drug users to reduce the risk for secondary transmission of HIV in the cross-border couples.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of continuous veno-venous hemodia-filtration (CVVHDF) combined with hemoperfusion (HP) HA380 in the treatment of heat stroke patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS).Methods:A retrospective and observational study was conducted. A total of 15 patients with heat stroke combined with MODS who were admitted to the department of intensive care unit (ICU)of Suizhou Central Hospital/Hubei University of Medicine from July to September 2022 were selected as the study objects. All 15 patients were treated with CVVHDF combined with HA380 based on the comprehensive management strategy for severe illness. Organ function indicators [including total bilirubin (TBil), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatinine (Cr), cardiac troponin T (cTnT), myoglobin (Myo), MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA)] and inflammatory indicators [including white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil count (NEU), C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), and interleukin-6 (IL-6)] were collected. The improvements of the above indexes at admission, after the first HP, after the second HP, after the third HP, and on the 5th day of treatment were compared. Combined with the clinical outcome of patients, the comprehensive efficacy of CVVHDF combined with HA380 in the treatment of severe heat radiation disease was evaluated.Results:There were 10 males and 5 females among the 15 patients. The average age was (64.5±11.5) years old. There were 6 cases of classical heat stroke and 9 cases of exertional heat stroke. Glasgow coma scale (GCS) was 3-8 at admission; SOFA score was 9-17 within 12 hours after admission; acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHEⅡ) was 25-45 within 24 hours after admission. After treatment, the IL-6 level and SOFA score gradually decreased, and there were significant differences in the decrease after the second HP compared to admission [IL-6 (ng/L): 48.37 (15.36, 113.03) vs. 221.90 (85.87, 425.90), SOFA: 8.3±3.3 vs. 11.1±2.4, both P < 0.05]. The PCT level reached its peak after the first HP [12.51 (6.07, 41.65) μg/L], and then gradually decreased, and the difference was statistically significant after the third HP [1.26 (0.82, 5.40) μg/L, P < 0.05]. Compared those at admission, Cr level significantly improved after the first HP (μmol/L: 66.94±25.57 vs. 110.80±31.13, P < 0.01), Myo significantly decreased after the second HP [μg/L: 490.90 (164.98, 768.05) vs. 3?000.00 (293.00, 3?000.00), P < 0.05], After the third HP, the CK level also showed significant improvement [U/L: 476.0 (413.0, 922.0) vs. 2?107.0 (729.0, 2?449.0), P < 0.05]. After CVVHDF combined with 3 times HP treatment, the patient's inflammatory response was gradually controlled and organ function gradually recovered. On the 5th day of the disease course, WBC, PCT and IL-6 levels were significantly improved compared to admission, and AST, CK, LDH, Cr, Myo, CK-MB, and SOFA score were significantly corrected compared with those on admission. The 24-hour survival rate of 15 patients was 86.67%, and the 24-hour, 7-day and 28-day survival rates were both as high as 73.33%. The average mechanical ventilation time of 11 surviving patients was (101.8±22.0) hours, the average continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) time was (58.8±11.0) hours, the average length of ICU stay was (6.3±1.0) days, and the average total hospitalization was (14.6±5.2) days. Conclusion:CVVHDF combined with HP HA380 in the treatment of heat stroke patients with MODS can effectively improve organ function and alleviate the inflammatory storm, which is an effective means to improve the rescue rate and reduce the mortality of severe heat stroke patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the factors that influence the first CD4+T lymphocyte counts in newly reported HIV-infected cases aged 50 and above in Dehong Prefecture of Yunnan Province during 2016 to 2021， and to understand the patient immune status and disease progression so as to provide scientific basis for HIV prevention and control strategies in the future. MethodsData was collected from the national HIV/AIDS information system. Multivariate logistic regression was used for the analysis of factors affecting the first CD4+T lymphocyte counts. ResultsA total of 642 cases of HIV infection were newly reported， among them， 571 cases had CD4+T lymphocyte counts and 200 cases （35.03%） had CD4+T lymphocyte counts <200 cells·μL^-1. Patients who were in the 50-59 age group， male， divorced or widowed， and less educated were more likely to have CD4+T lymphocyte counts <200 cells·μL^-1. Compared with active testing consultants， forced reeducation through labor or drug rehabilitation cases were less likely to have CD4+T lymphocyte counts <200 cells·μL^-1. ConclusionThere is no obvious upward trend in newly reported HIV infected persons aged 50 years and above in Dehong Prefecture during 2016 to 2021. However， the situation of CD4+T lymphocyte counts <200 cells·μL^-1 is still serious. Attention should be paid to the key groups： male， Chinese nationality， farmers， Han nationality， married or divorced， junior high school education or below， and heterosexual transmission. It is necessary to strengthen the intervention in people aged 50 and above and improve the detection efficiency.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum vitamin A deficiency (vitam in A deficiency, VAD) and infectious diseases in children.MethodsAdopt the method of random sampling, sample of Cixi City prevention center with a total of 5000 children under the age of 6, according to the age groups were divided into 6 groups, the detection of vitamin A in children refers to the blood, separation of serum collected in dark conditions, with strict quality control, detection of serum vitamin A by fluorescence method (vitamin A the concentration of VA.).ResultsIn the two weeks, the incidence of VA in children with fever and acute respiratory infection (ARI) increased.ConclusionOur children's serum VA content is low, the lack of the high rate of children regardless of individuals or groups are prone to acute infection, VAD is the cause of children prone to acute infectious diseases is one of the important reasons.To strengthen health education, improve parents' feeding knowledge, proper oral Cod Liver Oil drops and reasonable feeding, is conducive to the healthy growth of children.

BACKGROUND:A large number of biomechanical studies and clinical application research showed that unilateral pedicle screw fixation with a single cage can not only make the spine to obtain immediate stability, and also reduces the fixed segment stiffness. However, there is not related research on the change of adjacent segment disc nucleus pulposus volume with unilateral pedicle screw. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effects of unilateral pedicle screw fixation with a single cage on adjacent segment degeneration for treating lumbar degenerative disease with MRI measurement of lumbar nucleus pulposus volume. METHODS:A total of 34 patients with lumbar disc herniation were treated by posterior lumbar interbody fusion with unilateral pedicle screw fixation with a single cage insertion. There were L4-5 segment in 16 patients (9 males and 7 females) and L5-S1segment in 18 patients (10 males and 8 females). The fixator was taken out at 18 months after surgery. They were folowed up for 24 to 36 months. With MRI, the transverse diameter and sagittal diameter of the nucleus pulposus were measured by using T2-weighted images at 6, 12, 18, 30 months after treatment, while the nucleus pulposus height was measured by middle sagittal position. Cephalic intervertebral height was measured with angular bisector method on X-ray films. Effects of unilateral pedicle screw fixation on cephalic intervertebral disc degeneration were evaluated according to nucleus pulposus volume and the intervertebral space height. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Nucleus pulposus volume at cephalic L3-4 on the fixed L4-5segment was reduced in male patients after 30 months of treatment compared with pre-treatment (P=0.139), but increased in female patients (P=0.143). (2) Nucleus pulposus volume at L4-5 near to fixed L5-S1 segment was slightly reduced in male patients after 30 months of treatment (P=0.096); nucleus pulposus volume was slightly increased in female patients after 6, 12, 18 and 30 months of treatment (P > 0.05). (3) Disc space height at cephalic L3-4 near to L4-5 segment was diminished in male and female patients at 30 months of treatment (P > 0.05). (4) Disc space height at cephalic L4-5 near to L5-S1 segment was slightly reduced in male and female patients compared with pre-treatment (P > 0.05). (5) Unilateral pedicle screw with a single cage could effectively prevent adjacent segment degeneration in treatment of partial lumbar intervertebral degenerative disease.

BACKGROUND:After spinal cord injury, endogenous neural stem cel s are activated to proliferate and migrate to repair damaged tissue. As a clinical medicine, methylprednisolone shows a lot of functions, but its effects on endogenous neural stem cel s are stil unknown.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of methylprednisolone on the proliferation and migration of endogenous neural stem cel s after spinal cord injury.
METHODS:Seventy-five Sprague-Dawley rats were used to make animal models of T10 complete paraplegia using Al en’s method, and randomized into methylprednisolone, normal saline and model groups. Rats in these three groups were given intraperitoneal injection of 1 g/L methylprednisolone solution at a dose of 30 mg/kg for 10 minutes and at a dose of 5.4 mg/kg/h for 23 hours, given intraperitoneal injection of normal saline at the same dose and given no treatment, respectively. Neurological and motor functions were assessed by somatosensory evoked potential and Basso Beattie Bresnahan scores at 7, 14, 21, 28 days after spinal cord injury. BrdU and Nestin staining of the injured spinal cord segment was conducted.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A large amount of BrdU-and Nestin-positive cel s were visible in al the groups, and the number of these cel s reached the peach at 14 days after spinal cord injury. Methylprednisolone was found to inhibit BrdU-, Nestin-or double-positive cel s, indicating methylprednisolone can inhibit the proliferation and migration of endogenous neural stem cel s. The results of Basso Beattie Bresnahan scores showed no notable improvement in the motor function of the limbs. Methylprednisolone also showed no significant effects on the motor evoked potential latency, but promoted nerve conduction recovery. Al these findings indicate that methylprednisolone has some hindering effects on spinal cord repair by inhibiting the proliferation and migration of endogenous neural stem cel s after spinal cord injury.
