Objective: To analyse the trend in new diagnosis rates of HIV/AIDS cases in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province from 2012 to 2024, so as to provide evidence for formulating localized comprehensive AIDS intervention strategies. Methods: Data on HIV/AIDS cases, including gender, age, current residential address and transmission routes from 2012 to 2024 were collected through the HIV/AIDS Comprehensive Control System of China Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Descriptive analysis was performed on new diagnosis rates stratified by gender, age group, administrative district and transmission route. The average annual percent change (AAPC) was used to examine the changing trend of the new diagnosis rate of HIV/AIDS cases. Results: A total of 7 293 newly reported HIV/AIDS cases were identified, with 5 730 male cases accounting for 78.57% and 1 563 female cases accounting for 21.43%. The age-group aged 25-<50 years contained 4 139 cases, accounting for 56.75%. From 2012 to 2024, the new diagnosis rate of HIV/AIDS cases in Jinhua City fluctuated between 5.66/105 and 12.46/105. No statistically significant overall trend was observed (AAPC=-0.767%, P>0.05), and the average annual new diagnosis rate reached 9.36/105. The average annual new diagnosis rate of HIV/AIDS cases among males was 14.31/105, which was higher than the female counterpart of 4.22/105 (P<0.05). The proportion of newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in the ≥50 years age group increased from 14.10% in 2012 to 35.66% in 2024 and presented an upward trend (AAPC=6.707%, P<0.05). Yiwu City had the highest annual average new diagnosis rate of HIV/AIDS cases at 14.24/105. Upward trends were found in Jindong District and Lanxi City (AAPC=8.506% and 4.261%, both P<0.05). The average annual new diagnosis rate of HIV/AIDS cases was relatively high among males attributed to male-to-male sexual transmission, at 6.51/105. Among females transmitted through non-marital non-commercial heterosexual contact, the average annual new diagnosis rate was also relatively high, at 2.79/105. Conclusions The overall new diagnosis rate of HIV/AIDS cases remained stable in Jinhua City from 2012 to 2024. Males and middle-aged and elderly population constitute high-risk populations, and Yiwu City, Jindong District and Lanxi City belong to high-risk regions. Targeted interventions should prioritize male-to-male sexual transmission, as well as female transmission through non-marital non-commercial heterosexual contact.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have mostly performed biomechanical analysis of early fracture healing by ignoring muscle loading and using simplified femoral loading. Nevertheless,the biomechanical effects of muscle loading on early fracture healing are still uncertain.OBJECTIVE:To construct various femoral loading models allows for the study of the biomechanical effects of muscle loading on fracture healing,enabling clinicians to gain a deeper understanding of the biomechanical process of fracture healing and to optimize treatment protocols.METHODS:The AnyBody Modeling System software was employed to construct a personalized human musculoskeletal system,which was then analyzed by simulation in order to obtain the musculoskeletal loading model in vivo. This model,along with the femur loading model constructed using the improved simplified loading method and the simplified loading method,was utilized as boundary conditions for the finite element inputs,which were used to analyze the locking compression plate stress-strain and interfragmentary strain in the standing condition,respectively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The locking compression plate stresses and strains and interfragmentary strains obtained from the musculoskeletal method were,respectively,31.9％,38.9％,and 19.5％ smaller than those obtained from the simplified loading method. (2) A comparison of the musculoskeletal method with the modified simplified loading method revealed that the neglect of muscle loading resulted in an overestimation of locking compression plate stress and strain,as well as interfragmentary strain,by 16.8％,14.3％,and 19.5％,respectively. Muscle loading did not have a significant effect on the magnitude of the shear motion of the fracture block,whereas it did have a significant effect on the direction of motion. (3) The results indicated that the simplified femoral loading and the method of ignoring muscle loading exhibited some deviation from the musculoskeletal loading situation. Consequently,it is necessary to consider the biomechanical effects of muscle loading in the study of fracture healing.

Aristolochic acid (AA), extracted from Aristolochiaceae plants, plays an essential role in traditional herbal medicines and is used for different diseases. However, AA has been found to be nephrotoxic and is known to cause aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN).AA-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is a syndrome in AAN with a high morbidity that manifests mitochondrial damage as a key part of its pathological progression. Melatonin primarily serves as a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant. However, its mitochondrial protective role in AA-induced AKI is barely reported. In this study, mice were administrated 2.5 mg/kg AA to induce AKI. Melatonin reduced the increase in Upro and Scr and attenuated the necrosis and atrophy of renal proximal tubules in mice exposed to AA. Melatonin suppressed ROS generation, MDA levels and iNOS expression and increased SOD activities in vivo and in vitro. Intriguingly, the in vivo study revealed that melatonin decreased mitochondrial fragmentation in renal proximal tubular cells and increased ATP levels in kidney tissues in response to AA. In vitro, melatonin restored the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in NRK-52E and HK-2 cells and led to an elevation in ATP levels. Confocal immunofluorescence data showed that puncta containing Mito-tracker and GFP-LC3A/B were reduced, thereby impeding the mitophagy of tubular epithelial cells. Furthermore, melatonin decreased LC3A/B-II expression and increased p62 expression. The apoptosis of tubular epithelial cells induced by AA was decreased. Therefore, our findings revealed that melatonin could prevent AA-induced AKI by attenuating mitochondrial damage, which may provide a potential therapeutic method for renal AA toxicity.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical phenotype and genetic basis for a Chinese pedigree affected with Oral-facial-digital syndrome type I (OFD1). METHODS: A pedigree with OFD1 who presented at Hebei General Hospital on March 17, 2021 was selected as the subject. Clinical data of the child was collected. Trio-whole exome sequencing (trio-WES) was carried out for the proband and members of her pedigree, and candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing. RESULTS: The proband has featured hypotelorism, broad nasal root, flat nasal tip, lobulated tongue, tongue neoplasia, camptodactyly of left fifth finger, syndactyly of right fourth and fifth fingers, and delayed intellectual and language development. Trio-WES revealed that the proband and her daughter, sister and mother have harbored a heterozygous c.224A>G (p.Asn75Ser) variant of the OFD1 gene. The same variant was not found among healthy members from her pedigree. CONCLUSION The c.224A>G (p.Asn75Ser) variant probably underlay the OFD1 in this pedigree. Above discovery has enriched the spectrum of OFD1 gene variants.

Objective::This study aimed to evaluate the major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) and overall safety profile associated with iodixanol in Chinese patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods::Patients at 30 centers in China registered in the OpenClinic v3.6 database from October 30, 2013, to October 7, 2015, were included in the study. The primary endpoint was in-hospital MACCEs including target lesion revascularization (TLR), stroke, stent thrombosis, cardiac death, and PCI-related myocardial infarction (MI) within 72 h post-PCI. Secondary endpoints were MACCEs from 72 h to 30 d post-PCI and other safety events within 30 d post-PCI.Results::A total of 3,042 patients were enrolled. The incidence of MACCEs within 72 h post-PCI was 2.33% ( n = 71), including cardiac death (0.03%, n = 1) and PCI-related MI (2.30%, n = 70). The incidence of MACCEs from 72 h to 30 d post-PCI was 0.16% ( n = 5), including cardiac death (0.10%, n = 3), PCI-related MI (0.03%, n = 1), and TLR for stent thrombosis (0.03%, n = 1). The incidence of composite angiographic or procedural complications was 2.86% ( n = 87); 233 (7.86%) patients had results suggesting contrast-induced acute kidney injury. Conclusions::These findings indicate that the use of iodixanol in Chinese patients undergoing PCI is associated with a low incidence of MACCEs, confirming its safety in this population.

This paper reported the genetic analysis of a pedigree in which three affected fetuses with short limbs were revealed by first-trimester ultrasonography in three consecutive pregnancies. Tissues of the second aborted fetus were collected and analyzed by chromosome karyotype analysis and whole exome sequencing. The results indicated compound heterozygous mutations of EX64-EX83 Del and c.8190G>T in the DYNC2H1 gene. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequencing further confirmed that the two variants were inherited from the father and the mother with normal phenotypes, respectively. EX64-EX83 Del was a likely pathogenic variant and c.8190G>T was a variant of uncertain significance. Based on the above results and the medical history, it was highly suspected that the fetus had autosomal recessive short rib polydactyly syndrome type Ⅲ caused by compound heterozygous variants. Real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequencing results of the third aborted fetus were consistent with the second fetus. Given the same phenotypes of fetuses in the second and third pregnancy, it was strongly suggested that the heterozygous variations of EX64-EX83 Del and c.8190G>T in the DYNC2H1 gene were the pathogenic variants in this pedigree.

Objective:To analyze the related factors of acute stress disorder (ASD) in patients with brain injury and discuss its nursing countermeasures.Methods:Totally 326 patients with brain injury hospitalized in Yongkang First People's Hospital from February 2018 to March 2019 were selected. ASD diagnosis was made using the Stanford Acute Stress Response Questionnaire (SASRQ) , and the factors affecting the occurrence of ASD in patients were subjected to univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Related nursing strategies were thus summarized.Results:Among the 326 patients with brain injury, 133 were complicated with ASD, accounting for an ASD incidence of 40.80%. Logistic regression analysis showed that gender, headache degree, hemiplegia, and sleep quality entered the regression model, which were independent risk factors for ASD in patients with brain injury ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The incidence of ASD is higher in patients with brain injury. Women, severe headache, poor sleep quality, and hemiplegia are important factors affecting the incidence of ASD. Nursing staff should take targeted measures to prevent ASD in the patients.
