Objective To understand the genotyping of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infected hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients in Yunnan Province, and to analyze the differences in viral load, biochemical indicators, and blood routine indicators among different genotypes, in order to provide a laboratory basis for the diagnosis and clinical treatment of HIV/HCV co-infected patients. Methods From November 2022 to June 2023, the serum samples and basic information of patients diagnosed with HIV/HCV co-infection were collected in the antiviral outpatient clinic of Yunnan Provincial Hospital of Infectious Diseases. The HCV viral load was detected by one-step qRT-PCR amplification, the positive samples were sequenced, and genotyping was determined based on NS5 gene sequence. The differences in biochemical and blood routine indexes between HIV patients co-infected with different HCV genotypes and low/high viral loads were analyzed. Results A total of 126 HIV/HCV co-infected patients were collected, including 20 HCV genotype 1 (15.9%), 91 HCV genotype 3 (72.2%), and 15 HCV genotype 6 (11.9%). The maximum and minimum viral load of the three HCV genotypes were as follows: HCV type 1 (1.0×108, 4.8×104 IU/mL), HCV type 3 (2.2×108, 2.9×102 IU/mL), and HCV type 6 (8.1×107, 6.8×104 IU/mL). The results showed that there was no significant difference between HIV co-infection with different genotypes of HCV and three HIV treatment schemes, including nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors+integrase strand transfer inhibitors (NRTIs+INSTIs), nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors+non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs+NNRTIs) and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors+protease inhibitor (NRTIs+PLs), and the viral load of patients (P>0.05). The analysis of biochemical indexes such as total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatinine (CREA), and blood routine indexes such as white blood cell (WBC), red blood cell (RBC), hemoglobin (HGB), platelet (PLT), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) among different HCV genotypes and low/high viral loads showed that there was no significant difference in biochemical indexes and blood routine indexes between low/high viral loads of HIV co-infected HCV patients (P>0.05); however, the biochemical indicators TBIL, IBIL and MCHC were significantly different statistically between patients with genotype 3 HCV infection and those with genotype 1 HCV infection (P<0.05), while other biochemical and blood routine indexes were not statistically different among different HCV genotypes (P>0.05). Conclusions There are six subtypes of HCV co-infection in HIV patients in Kunming, Yunnan Province, including three genes of genotype 1, 3, and 6. Among them, genotype 3 HCV is the main prevalent genetic virus among HIV co-infected populations. The TBIL, IBIL and MCHC values of HIV patients co-infected with HCV type 3 are different from those infected with HCV type 1.

Objective To understand the change trend and characteristics of nosocomial infection through the comprehensive surveillance on nosocomial infection in infectious diseases specialized hospitals dur-ing 2017-2023 to provide an evidence for the prevention,control and management of nosocomial infection.Methods The surveillance indicators of nosocomial infection in a hospital during 2017-2023 were collected.The nosocomial infection rate,nosocomial infection rate in different inpatient wards,nosocomial infection sites,nosocomial infection pathogenic bacterial distribution and susceptibility factors conducted the statistical analysis.Results A total of 93 254 patients were admitted and treated during 2017-2023.The nosocomial in-fection rate and infection case-times rate showed the decreasing trend(P＜0.05).The case-times rate of the patients in the AIDS wards was 3.75％,which was higher than 0.79％in the tuberculosis wards(P＜0.05).The nosocomial infection case-times rate in the two wards areas during 2017-2023 showed the decreasing trend(P＜0.05).The infection sites were mainly the respiratory system(61.56％),blood system(9.44％)and urinary system(8.61％).A total of 803 strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected out,which were mainly Gram negative bacteria(63.89％),the top five were in turn Klebsiella pneumoniae(16.19％),Esche-richia coli(15.57％),Acinetobacter baumannii(10.83％),Pseudomonas aeruginosa(8.84％)and Staphylo-coccus aureus(7.22％).The top three of susceptibility factors were low immune function(58.78％),long term antibiotic use(11.29％)and ventilator use(9.20％).Conclusion Initiatively carrying the hospital infec-tion surveillance could accurately grasp the incidence trends and provide the direction and data support for pre-vention and control priorities.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma(NDMM)with thrombocytopenia.Methods:Clinical data of 529 patients with NDMM admitted to The Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University between January 2012 and December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were categorized into thrombocytopenia and nor-mal platelet count groups based on their platelet count levels.Results:A total of 529 patients with NDMM were included in this study,with 108(20.42%)patients in the thrombocytopenia group.The median progression-free survival(mPFS)was 30.64 months(95%confidence in-terval[CI]:23.43-37.85)in the thrombocytopenia group,which was shorter than that in the normal platelet count group(41.39 months[95%CI:37.37-45.39],P=0.002).The median overall survival(mOS)was 40.59 months(95%CI:30.61-50.57)in the thrombocytopenia group,which was shorter than that in the normal platelet count group(60.92 months[95%CI:54.54-67.29],P<0.001).Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified thrombocytopenia as a risk factor for OS in patients with NDMM(HR=1.238[95%CI:1.16-1.952],P=0.03).Conclusions:The prognosis of patients with NDMM with thrombocytopenia was worse than that of patients with NDMM who had normal platelet levels.Thrombocytopenia may serve as a poor prognostic indicator for NDMM.

Development of thoracolumbar vertebra (TLV) and rib primordium (RP) is a common evolutionary feature across vertebrates, although whole-organism analysis of the expression dynamics of TLV- and RP-related genes has been lacking. Here, we investigated the single-cell transcriptome landscape of thoracic vertebra (TV), lumbar vertebra (LV), and RP cells from a pig embryo at 27 days post-fertilization (dpf) and identified six cell types with distinct gene expression signatures. In-depth dissection of the gene expression dynamics and RNA velocity revealed a coupled process of osteogenesis and angiogenesis during TLV and RP development. Further analysis of cell type-specific and strand-specific expression uncovered the extremely high level of HOXA10 3'-UTR sequence specific to osteoblasts of LV cells, which may function as anti-HOXA10-antisense by counteracting the HOXA10-antisense effect to determine TLV transition. Thus, this work provides a valuable resource for understanding embryonic osteogenesis and angiogenesis underlying vertebrate TLV and RP development at the cell type-specific resolution, which serves as a comprehensive view on the transcriptional profile of animal embryo development.

Objective To explore the impact of social support and perceived stigma on depression for people living with HIV/AIDS. Methods A total of 114 patients recruited into our study. Date were collected by Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), Social Supporting Rating Scale (SRSS) and Berger HIV Stigma Scale (BHSS) for patients. Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) version 7.0 software was used to conduct the path analysis. Results The total score of patients′depression, SRSS and BHSS were (52.22± 10.28), (29.09±5.98), (109.02±14.59) points, and there was correlation between the three (r=0.425-0.676, P<0.05). Social support revealed direct effects on depression and affected depression indirectly via BHSS.The paths′ total coefficients was-0.47. BHSS as intermediary variable between social support and depression, the paths′ total coefficients was 0.64. Conclusions The level of depression, SRSS and BHSS were not fine for HIV/AIDS. Depression are directly affected by SRSS and BHSS, BHSS has a greater moderating effect on these relationships. Interventions developed on the basis of influencing factors of depression should be applied to improve patients′depression status.

In order to investigate the species and categorization of Gasterophilus in Ili horse.We analysised the COI gene of the identified Gasterophilus dominant species and constructed NJ phylogenetic tree in the study.The results showed that infection rate was 100％ in total of 16 775 the third phase Gasterophilus instar larvae.Four Gasterophilus species were identified,and showed serious mix infections.Dominant species were Gasterophilus nasalis,its relative dominance were 53.17％,and prefer to live in the cardia,others to irregular live in the pylorus of the horses.COI gene homology of GasterophiIus nasalis,Gasterophilus intestinalis,Gasterophilus pecorum,Gasterophilus haemorrhoidalis (GenBank Accession No.:GU265752.1,KR230402.1,KU578262.1,KT946620.1) were 99％,99％,99％ and 100％ respectively.Phylogenetic analysis results showed that the data were clustered with the Gasterophilus app.which publshed on the GenBank.G.intestinalis and G.haemorrhoidalis cluster together first,and then cluster with G.nasalis,at last all three kinds of Gasterophilus cluster with G.pecorum.When the COI gene is the target,in-group and out-group of the Gasterophilus can forms an independent evolutionary branch.This study provides useful parameters for the classification of Gasterophilus.

Objective To investigate the factors affecting the prognosis of posterior communicating artery aneurysm (PCoA) to provide theoretical foundation for treatment of PCoA.Methods The clinical data of 308 patients with PCoA,admitted to our hospital from January 1997 to June 2013,were studied retrospectively.With the therapeutic effect as the dependent variable,Logistic regression analysis was performed to examine 13 factors those potentially affected the outcomes of the patients.Results The patient's gender,side and size of PCoA,position and pointing of PCoA,timing of surgery and rupture or not during operation did not affect the outcomes of the patients (patient's age,gender,times of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH),Hunt-Hess grade,preoperative condition of consciousness,side and size of PCoA,position and pointing of PCoA,timing of surgery,rupture or not during operation,degrees of SAH and postoperative complications).But univariate analysis showed that the patient's age (P=0.003),times of SAH (P=0.005),Hunt-Hess grade (P=0.000),preoperative consciousness situation (P=0.003),degree of SAH (P=0.001) and postoperative complications (P=0.000) were the independent risk factors affecting the postoperative outcomes; whereas the Hunt-Hess grade and postoperative complications are fundamental risk factors that affected the postoperative effects (OR=14.330,P=0.000,95％CI:2.005-102.396; OR=19.445,P=0.004,95％CI:2.513-150.442).Conclusion Preoperative Hunt-Hess grade and postoperative complications are independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients; through analysis of these factors,the prognosis of patients can be broadly determined,thus the treatment of PCoA can be further guided and level of clinical treatment can be improved.
