Objective Studies on the relationship between iodine,vitamin A(VA),and vitamin D(VD)and thyroid function are limited.This study aimed to analyze iodine and thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH)status and their possible relationships with VA,VD,and other factors in postpartum women. Methods A total of 1,311 mothers(896 lactating and 415 non-lactating)from Hebei,Zhejiang,and Guangxi provinces were included in this study.The urinary iodine concentration(UIC),TSH,VA,and VD were measured. Results The median UIC of total and lactating participants were 142.00 μg/L and 139.95 μg/L,respectively.The median TSH,VA,and VD levels in all the participants were 1.89 mIU/L,0.44 μg/mL,and 24.04 ng/mL,respectively.No differences in the UIC were found between lactating and non-lactating mothers.UIC and TSH levels were significantly different among the three provinces.The rural UIC was higher than the urban UIC.Obese mothers had a higher UIC and a higher prevalence of excessive TSH.Higher UICs and TSHs levels were observed in both the VD deficiency and insufficiency groups than in the VD-sufficient group.After adjustment,no linear correlation was observed between UIC and VA/VD.No interaction was found between vitamins A/D and UIC on TSH levels. Conclusion The mothers in the present study had no iodine deficiency.Region,area type,BMI,and VD may be related to the iodine status or TSH levels.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the effect of bone cement distribution on efficacy of residual back pain after percutaneous vertebra plasty(PVP).
METHODS:
From January 2017 to December 2020, a total of 65 cases with single segment osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fractures underwent parallel vertebroplasty surgery. On the basis of the postoperative X-ray films of bone cement distribution were divided into two groups. The bone cement was biased to the lateral side of the vertebral body (partial group, 20 cases), there were 9 males and 11 famales with an average age of (70.3±7.4) years old ranging from 60 to 84 years old. The bone cement was over the vertebral midline, and completely filled with contralateral vertebral body (bilateral group, 45 cases), there were 10 males and 35 famales with an average age of (70.7±8.0) years old ranging from 60 to 86 years old. All of them underwent PVP surgery, bone cement was injected into the vertebral body through paitail transpedicular approach. The amount of bone cement injection, the visual analogue scale(VAS) of preoperation and 1 day, 1 month, 3 months after surgery between two groups were observed and compared.
RESULTS:
The amount of cement injection was (4.25±0.99) ml in the partial group, and (4.07±1.18) ml in the bilateral group, there was no significant difference between two groups (P>0.05). Postoperative pain was relieved than preoperative pain (P<0.05), the VAS of 1 day, 1 and 3 months after operation (3.90±1.37), (2.35±0.67) and (1.55±0.51) in the partial group were higher than (2.67±0.60), (1.62±0.58) and (1.31±0.47) in the bilateral group (P<0.05). There were 9 cases in partial group, the pain was not relieved due to unfilled cement until the contralateral bone was injected into the bone cement.
CONCLUSION
The distribution of bone cement is one of the main factors affecting residual back pain after PVP, and in the clinical, we should make sure the distribution of bone cement over the midline of vertebral body.

OBJECTIVE:
This study aimed to determine the HIV-1 subtype distribution and HIV drug resistance (HIVDR) in patients with ART failure from 2014 to 2020 in Hainan, China.
METHODS:
A 7-year cross-sectional study was conducted among HIV/AIDS patients with ART failure in Hainan. We used online subtyping tools and the maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree to confirm the HIV subtypes with pol sequences. Drug resistance mutations (DRMs) were analyzed using the Stanford University HIV Drug Resistance Database.
RESULTS:
A total of 307 HIV-infected patients with ART failure were included, and 241 available pol sequences were obtained. Among 241 patients, CRF01_AE accounted for 68.88%, followed by CRF07_BC (17.00%) and eight other subtypes (14.12%). The overall prevalence of HIVDR was 61.41%, and the HIVDR against non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), and protease inhibitors (PIs) were 59.75%, 45.64%, and 2.49%, respectively. Unemployed patients, hypoimmunity or opportunistic infections in individuals, and samples from 2017 to 2020 increased the odd ratios of HIVDR. Also, HIVDR was less likely to affect female patients. The common DRMs to NNRTIs were K103N (21.99%) and Y181C (20.33%), and M184V (28.21%) and K65R (19.09%) were the main DRMs against NRTIs.
CONCLUSION
The present study highlights the HIV-1 subtype diversity in Hainan and the importance of HIVDR surveillance over a long period.
