Objective To systematically evaluate the influencing factors for antiretroviral therapy(ART)discontinuation in Chinese human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)/acquired immuno deficiency syn-drome(AIDS)patients.Methods A computer-based search was conducted in PubMed,Web of Science,Em-base,The Cochrane Library,CNKI,Wanfang,VIP,and China Biology Medicine(CBM)databases for studies on influencing factors of ART discontinuation in Chinese HIV/AIDS patients from the establishment of the databases to August 2024.Meta-analysis was performed on the included studies by using Stata16.0.Results A total of 17 studies were included.Meta-analysis showed that the following factors were associated with ART discontinuation:male gender(OR=1.301,95%CI:1.099-1.540),age≥50 years(OR=1.212,95%CI:1.109-1.324),unmarried/divorced/widowed marital status(OR=1.198,95%CI:1.060-1.354),education level was or below senior high school(OR=1.778,95%CI:1.508-2.096),infection route was in-travenous drug use(OR=2.420,95%CI:1.989-2.945),baseline CD4 cell count>500 cells/μL(OR=1.157,95%CI:1.020-1.313),tuberculosis co-infection before ART(OR=1.559,95%CI:1.398-1.739),hepatitis B co-infection before ART(OR=1.554,95%CI:1.305-1.851),AIDS-related symptoms occur be-fore ART(OR=1.245,95%CI:1.148-1.351),time from diagnosis to treatment initiation≥365 days(OR=1.449,95%CI:1.301-1.615),initial treatment regimen containing zidovudine(OR=1.573,95%CI:1.206-2.052),treatment at county-level or lower institutions(OR=1.204,95%CI:1.153-1.257),exist drug adverse reactions(OR=7.043,95%CI:3.142-15.786),and compliance education(OR=0.182,95%CI:0.094-0.352).Conclusion There are multiple factors influencing ART discontinuation in Chinese HIV/AIDS patients.Early identification of individuals at risk of discontinuation and targeted interventions are nec-essary to promote their maintenance of ART.

Objective:To observe the clinical effect of urokinase along the pipeline under offline status to dissolve dialyzer microthrombus in patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).Methods:A prospective research method was adopted. A total of 248 CRRT patients with dialyzer microthrombus in Sinopharm-Gezhouba Central Hospital from January 2017 to December 2021 were selected. The patients were divided into experimental group (continued CRRT treatment after urokinase along the pipeline under offline status to dissolve dialyzer microthrombus) and control group (continued CRRT treatment after dialyzer replacement) by random number table method with 124 cases in each group. The baseline data were recorded, including gender, age, primary disease, hemoglobin, platelet count, hematocrit, plasma albumin, D-dimer, fibrinogen, anticoagulant method and symptoms associated with dialyzer microthrombus. The blood indexes were detected before and after treatment of microthrombus, and the symptom scores were performed. The blood indexes included creatinine, urea nitrogen, β 2 microglobulin (β 2-MG), international normalized ratio (INR), hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α); and the symptom scores included acute physiology and chronic health status score Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) and (APACHE Ⅱ) and sequential organ failure score. The initial transmembrane pressure, transmembrane pressure before disembarkation, CRRT treatment extension time and coagulation classification were recorded. In experimental group, the blood coagulation function indexes before and after treatment were detected, including prothrombin time (PT), activated partial prothrombin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT) and fibrinogen (Fib). The adverse reactions were recorded, including black stools, arrhythmias and wound bleeding. Results:There were no statistical differences in baseline data, initial transmembrane pressure, transmembrane pressure before disembarkation, CRRT treatment extension time and coagulation classification between two groups ( P>0.05). There were no statistical differences in creatinine, urea nitrogen, β 2-MG, INR, hs-CRP, IL-6, TNF-α, APACHE Ⅱ and SOFA before treatment between two groups ( P>0.05); after treatment, the indexes in both groups were significantly lower than before treatment, and the indexes in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group: (179.1 ± 41.2) μmol/L vs. (187.1 ± 53.9) μmol/L, (7.3 ± 2.8) mmol/L vs. (9.3 ± 2.5) mmol/L, (2.5 ± 0.6) mg/L vs. (4.2 ± 0.7) mg/L, 1.0 ± 0.3 vs. 1.8 ± 0.5, (8.7 ± 1.1) mg/L vs. (10.6 ± 2.4) mg/L, (21.5 ± 12.7) ng/L vs. (29.5 ± 10.3) ng/L, (20.2 ± 6.1) ng/L vs. (26.6 ± 7.2) ng/L, (12.1 ± 6.9) scores vs. (17.2 ± 5.2) scores and (5.9 ± 1.8) scores vs. (6.8 ± 1.9) scores, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). In experimental group, there were no statistical differences in PT, APTT, TT and Fib between before treatment and after treatment ( P>0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in experimental group was significantly lower than that in control group: 4.03%(5/124) vs. 12.90%(16/124), and there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 6.30, P<0.05). Conclusions:The urokinase along the pipeline under offline status to dissolve dialyzer microthrombus in patients undergoing CRRT is safer, cheaper and more efficient. It can improve the biocompatibility of tissue with dialyzer and pipe, prolong the use time of the dialyzer, and complete renal replacement therapy.

Objective To analyze the deployment of policy instruments and the distribution of stakeholder engagement in provincial policies on nursing assistant training and management.Methods The relevant policy texts on nursing assistant training and management were systematically searched and collected from the official websites of provincial governments and their direct departments,CNKI,and the PKU Law Database.A two-dimensional framework of policy instruments-stakeholder was constructed,and the content analysis was used to classify,encode and quantify policy clauses.Results The study encompassed 20 provincial-level nursing assistant training and management policies,yielding a total of 359 codes.Within the policy instruments dimension,environmental,supply,and demand instruments constituted 66.30％,28.97％,and 4.74％,respectively.In terms of stakeholders,the management-side accounted for 56.55％,providers and trainers for 18.11％each,partners for 5.01％,and demand-side for 2.23％.Both management-side and trainers engaged with 3 policy instruments,providers with 2,and partners and demand-side with one each.Conclusion In the provincial nursing assistant training and management policies,there are differences in the deployment of policy instruments,and the distribution of stakeholders is uneven.Managers should pay attention to publicity guidance and platform construction,improve incentive mechanisms and training programs,and innovate cooperation models with stakeholders,as well as strengthen communication and exchange.

Objective:To explore the effect of comprehensive moxibustion with Huolong cupping in patients with lung-spleen qi deficiency type allergic rhinitis.Methods:This study was a randomized controlled trial. From October 2022 to April 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 66 patients with lung-spleen qi deficiency type allergic rhinitis who visited the Otolaryngology Head and Neck Clinic of Ruikang Hospital Affiliated to Guangxi University of Chinese Medicine as the research subject. The patients were randomly divided into an experimental group ( n=33) and a control group ( n=33). Both groups received routine oral Chinese medicine treatment. On the basis of routine treatment, the experimental group performed comprehensive moxibustion with Huolong cupping on the meridians of the Du meridian and bladder meridian. This study compared the scores of Nasal Airway Resistance (NAR), Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and Chinese version of Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (RQLQ) between two groups of patients before and after intervention. Results:Eventually 30 patients in each of the experimental group and control group completed the study. After intervention, the NAR score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Repeated measures analysis of variance showed that with the increase of treatment time, the TNSS, VAS, and RQLQ scores of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group with statistical differences ( P<0.05), and the time effect, inter group effect, and interaction effect were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Huolong cupping comprehensive moxibustion can reduce nasal resistance, meliorate nasal symptoms and accompanying nasal symptoms, and improve the quality of life of patients.

Objective:To investigate the normal range of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) in 6-18-year-old children in China, so as to provide a data base for the establishment of FeNO standards for Chinese children.Methods:A multi-center study was conducted on 5 949 children aged 6-18 (3 101 males and 2 848 females) in 16 pro-vinces of 7 administrative districts in China.According to the technical standard recommended by American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Association, FeNO was measured, and the relationship of FeNO with the sex, age, height, weight, body mass index and region was discussed.Results:The geometric mean FeNO value of Chinese children aged 6-18 was 14.1 ppb, and its 95% confidence interval (skewness distribution) was 1.0-38.2 ppb.The geometric mean FeNO values of children aged 6-11 and 12-18 were 13.1 ppb and 15.7 ppb, respectively, and their 95% confidence intervals (skewness distribution) were 1.0-38.1 ppb and 2.0-38.2 ppb.For children at and under 11 years old, FeNO decreased with age, with a mean decline of 1 ppb per year.The multiple linear regression results suggested that there was a significant correlation between FeNO and age for children aged 6-11, and FeNO of children aged 12-18 was significantly correlated with the gender, height, and region(all P<0.01). Conclusions:FeNO values of Chinese children and adolescents in this study are higher than those obtained by the previous study conducted from 2010 to 2012.For children aged 12-18, 16 ppb is recommended as the clinical cut-off point.For children at or under 11 years old, the influence of age on FeNO should be considered, and the cut-off point of FeNO decreases by 1 ppb as the age is reduced by one year.
