Objective　To understand the impact of early and timely treatment and initial antiviral treatment regimen on mortality and attrition of antiretroviral therapy. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted using download data on antiretroviral therapy for HIV-infected patients in Liuzhou City, Guangxi Province, from the database of the Basic Information System for AIDS Control and Prevention (BISAC) from 2010 to 2020. The Cox proportional risk regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of mortality and attrition. Results A total of 15 713 infected patients were included, including 53.4% aged 18-<50 years, 69.4% male, 61.0% farmer, 75.1% CD4 count <350 cells /μL before initial antiviral treatment, the overall mortality rate was 4.30/100 person-years, and the overall attrition was 2.42/100 person-years. The results of Cox regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of mortality were pretreatment CD4 counts of 350-<500 cells/μL(AHR=0.72, 95%CI: 0.63-0.81) and ≥500 cells/μL (AHR= 0.64, 95%CI: 0.55-0.76); duration from diagnosis to initial antiviral treatment 91-180 days (AHR=1.25, 95%CI: 1.08-1.45), 181-365 days (AHR=1.26, 95%CI: 1.08-1.47), and ≥365 days (AHR=1.26, 95%CI: 1.11-1.44); initial antiviral treatment regimens of D4T+3TC+EFV/NVP (AHR=1.47, 95%CI: 1.32-1.63) and AZT/D4T/TDF+3TC+LPV/r (AHR=1.73, 95%CI: 1.50-1.99). Factors affecting attrition were pretreatment CD4 counts of 350-499 cells/μL (AHR=1.32, 95%CI: 1.16-1.50) and ≥500 cells/μL (AHR=1.28, 95%CI: 1.10-1.50); interval from HIV positivity confirmation to initial dosing ≥365 days (AHR=1.21, 95%CI: 1.04-1.40), initial antiviral treatment regimens of TDF+3TC+NVP (AHR=1.32, 95%CI: 1.13-1.55), AZT+3TC+EFV/NVP (AHR=1.43, 95%CI: 1.26-1.62) and AZT/D4T/TDF+3TC+LPV/r (AHR=1.33, 95CI%: 1.06-1.67). Conclusions　Early and timely treatment and the initial antiviral treatment regimen of TDF+3TC+EFV have good efficacy, but attention should be paid to the high risk of attrition of HIV-infected people with high CD4 count before treatment.

Objective:To analyze the effect of long-term care insurance on the incidence of falls in old people with disability, and the modification effect of different living arrangements.Methods:Based on the discharge diagnosis records of the hospitalization in urban residents who applied for long-term care insurance in Chengdu from July 2014 to June 2021, those who received long-term care insurance were selected as the intervention group and those who received no long-term care insurance were selected as the control group, the changes in the incidence of falls before and after the long-term care were analyzed using difference-in-differences method, and the modification effects of different living arrangements were explored using stratified analysis.Results:Long-term care insurance significantly reduced the risk for monthly incidence of falls in older adults [average treatment effects on treated (ATT) = -1.21% (95% CI: -1.82%--0.60%)], and the effect increased over time (ATT=-1.26%, 95% CI: -1.93%--0.59%). Long-term care insurance had a significant effect on reducing the incidence of falls in old people living with spouses/family members (ATT=-0.92%, 95% CI: -1.47%--0.37%) and in nursing facilities/hospitals (ATT=-2.10%, 95% CI: -3.81%--0.40%), but it had no significant effect in those living alone. Conclusions:Long-term care insurance can effectively reduce the incidence of falls in old people with disability, showing a positive effect. Living with family members or in nursing facilities/hospitals has a modification effect of the implementation of long-term care insurance policy. It is necessary to pay attention to key populations in the future and expand the coverage of long-term care insurance.

Objective To develop and validate a nomogram model for predicting the risk of kinesiophobia in patients after lung cancer surgery.Methods A total of 164 lung cancer patients who underwent surgery in a Grade ⅢA hospital in Xiamen were recruited from October 2022 to May 2023 in this study.Logistic regression was conducted to identify independent risk factors of kinesiophobia in patients who recieved lung cancer surgery.A Nomogram model was developed using R software for predicting the risk of kinesiophobia.The predictive performance of the model was assessed by calculating the receiver-operating-characteristics curve(ROC)and the area under curve(AUC).Results The incidence of postoperative kinesiophobia in lung cancer patients was at 44.51％.Logistic regression analysis showed that pain and fatigue were the risk factors for the occurrence of postoperative kinesiophobia in the patients(P<0.05)and self-efficacy was a protective factor(P<0.05).Validation of the Nomogram model showed that the ROC curve indicated an AUC of 0.888(95％CI 0.836-0.940)for predicting kenesiophobia in patients after lung cancer surgery and the calibration curve presented as a line with a slope close to 1.The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodnee-of-fit test showed that the model could accurately predict the risk of postoperative kinesiophobia in lung cancer patients(χ 2=1.931,P=0.983).Conclusion Self-efficacy,pain and fatigue are the influencing factors for the occurrence of postoperative kinesiophobia in the patients who received lung cancer surgery.The nomogram prediction model has good accuracy and discrimination,and it may assist the healthcare professionals to predict the occurrence of postoperative kinesiophobia in the patients after lung cancer surgery and take pertinent measures to minimise the incidence.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a standard treatment for ACL injuries, but it has drawbacks of a low rate of return to sports and a high incidence of osteoarthritis. In recent years, research has found that the proximal ACL tissue has a healing potential after injury. For patients who meet the indications for surgical repair, primary repair of ACL can achieve therapeutic effects comparable to ACL reconstruction, showing advantages of smaller trauma and preservation of the original ligament. Therefore, this surgical approach has received renewed attention and adoption, becoming an important supplement to ACL reconstruction. This article reviews the factors leading to the failure of previous open primary repair, and analyzes the current popularity of arthroscopic ACL primary repair. Moreover, it summarizes the surgical indications, repair procedures, rehabilitation, and return to sports of ACL primary repair, hoping to promote the clinical application of this surgical approach.

Objective:To compare the arthroscopic primary repair versus reconstruction for proximal anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears by a meta analysis.Methods:A comprehensive computer search was performed in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, Pubmed, Web of Since, The Cochrane Library for studies comparing primary ACL repair and ACL reconstruction published before August, 2023. A meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software to compare the surgical failure rate in repair of proximal ACL tears, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Lysholm score, patient satisfaction score of visual analogue scale (VAS), positive rate of Lachman test, and side-to-side difference in anterior tibial translation.Results:Included in this meta analysis were 8 articles (4 randomized controlled trials and 4 cohort studies) involving 217 eligible patients undergoing primary ACL repair and 187 eligible patients undergoing ACL reconstruction. The follow-up duration for the cases in the literature ranged from 12 to 28 months. The meta analysis showed that the short-term side-to-side difference in anterior tibial translation in the primary ACL repair group was significantly larger than that in the ACL reconstruction group ( MD=0.75, 95% CI: 0.33 to 1.16, P<0.001). However, there were no significant differences between the 2 groups in IKDC score, Lysholm score, positive rate in the Lachman test, VAS patient satisfaction score, or surgical failure rate ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with ACL reconstruction, arthroscopic primary ACL repair may lead to similar functional recovery and clinical outcomes in the early postoperative period (12 to 28 months). However, caution should be exercised against primary ACL repair because it is related to greater asymptomatic knee laxity.

OBJECTIVE: To review the research progress of meniscus repair in recent years, in order to provide help for the clinical decision-making of meniscus injury treatment. METHODS: The domestic and foreign literature related to meniscal repair in recent years was extensively reviewed to summarize the reasons for the prevalence of meniscal repair, surgical indications, various repair methods and long-term effectiveness, the need to deal with mechanical structural abnormalities, biological enhancement repair technology, rehabilitation treatment, and so on. RESULTS: In order to delay the occurrence of osteoarthritis, the best treatment of meniscus has undergone an important change from partial meniscectomy to meniscal repair, and the indications for meniscal repair have been expanding. The mid- and long-term effectiveness of different meniscal repair methods are ideal. During meniscus repair, the abnormality of lower limb force line and meniscus protrusion should be corrected at the same time. There are controversies about the biological enhancement technology to promote meniscus healing and rehabilitation programs, which need further study. CONCLUSION Meniscal repair can restore the normal mechanical conduction of lower limbs and reduce the incidence of traumatic osteoarthritis, but the poor blood supply and healing ability of meniscal tissue bring difficulties to meniscal repair. Further development of new biological enhanced repair technology and individualized rehabilitation program and verification of its effectiveness will be an important research direction.

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most crucial components to maintain knee joint stability and also the most vulnerable structure during knee-related sports activities. ACL injuries often cause knee instability, difficulty in returning to sports, and secondary degenerative knee disease. Although using autograft to reconstruct the ACL is currently a popular choice in clinical settings, it has drawbacks such as limited autograft source, donor site morbidity and delayed return to sports. Ligament advanced reinforcement system (LARS) artificial ligament possesses unique advantages such as wide availability, no donor-site morbidity, and early recovery, avoiding the problems associated with autograft reconstruction of ACL, and it has drawn increasing attention in recent years. In this paper, the authors reviewed the characteristics of LARS artificial ligament and its application in ACL reconstruction, so as to provide reference for clinical treatment of ACL injuries.
