ObjectiveTo assess the cost-effectiveness of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention and control strategies across different high-risk populations, investment levels, and allocation proportions in an area, thereby providing a reference for optimizing resource allocation in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) prevention and control. MethodsDemographic, epidemiological, and clinical progression data of the target population in an area from 2018 to 2024 were collected, along with the input costs and intervention coverage of HIV-related projects. The Optima HIV model was utilized to perform fitting and prediction, whereby the allocation of resources to optimized target populations and program interventions was modeled under varying future investment scenarios to predict the impacts on the reduction of new HIV infections and HIV-related deaths. ResultsUnder the scenario of maintaining the current level of intervention input for HIV key populations, new HIV infections and related deaths in the region were predicted to be controlled at a low level by 2030. In terms of intervention input for HIV key populations, it is suggested that appropriately increasing the intervention input for key HIV populations will further reduce new HIV infections and HIV-related deaths in the region. However, when the total input increases to 1.75 times the baseline level, the marginal effect of input will be saturated. Regarding structural adjustments in investment and considering both the current total investment scenario and 1.75 times the total investment scenario, it is predicted that further reductions in regional HIV new infections and HIV-related deaths can be achieved, provided that the intervention input for key populations (including men who have sex with men, MSM) is increased, while concurrently intensifying the proportion of intervention measures such as condom promotion to form optimized intervention portfolios. ConclusionIn the field of HIV/ AIDS prevention and control, sustained commitment to intervention investment, with a strategic focus on interventions for key populations and intensified implementation of critical intervention measures, will effectively improve the epidemiological impacts of HIV/AIDS prevention and control efforts.

OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanism of Yiqi yangyin huazhuo tongluo formula in ameliorating diabetic kidney disease (DKD) based on the gut microbiota-lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/Caspase-11/gasdermin D (GSDMD) pathway.METHODS A DKD mouse model was established by high-fat and high-sugar diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of low-dose streptozotocin. The successfully modeled mice were randomly divided into model group, metformin group (positive control, 200 mg/kg) and Yiqi yangyin huazhuo tongluo formula group (32.4 g/kg, calculated as crude drug dosage), with 10 mice in each group; another 10 mice were set as the control group. Mice were intragastrically administered with corresponding drug solutions or normal saline once a day for 8 consecutive weeks. After the last administration, serum glycolipid metabolism indicators and urinary renal function indicators of mice were determined; the pathological and morphological changes of renal and colonic tissues were observed; LPS contents in renal tissues, colonic contents and serum were detected. 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing was performed for gut microbiota analysis of colonic contents. The protein expressions of Occludin and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) in colonic tissues as well as Caspase-11 and GSDMD in renal tissues were detected.RESULTS Compared with the control group, the model group exhibited significantly elevated levels of serum fasting blood glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and microalbumin, LPS contents in each sample, as well as protein expressions of Caspase-11 and GSDMD in renal tissues ( P <0.05). The protein expressions of ZO-1 and Occludin in colonic tissues, together with Chao1 and Ace indices of gut microbiota, were markedly decreased ( P <0.05), and the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes was abnormally increased. Obvious histopathological changes were observed in renal and colonic tissues; the percentage of PAS-positive area in kidney was markedly increased ( P <0.05). Compared with the model group, the Yiqi yangyin huazhuo tongluo formula group showed remarkable reductions in glycolipid metabolism and renal function-related indicators(except total cholesterol), LPS contents in various samples, and renal protein expressions of Caspase-11 and GSDMD ( P <0.05). The protein expression level of ZO-1 in colonic tissues and the Ace index of gut microbiota were significantly increased ( P <0.05), and the relative abundance of beneficial genera including Bifidobacterium , Faecalibaculum and Akkermansia in the gut microbiota was elevated.CONCLUSIONS The mechanism by which Yiqi yangyin huazhuo tongluo formula ameliorates DKD may be related to reshaping gut microbiota, repairing intestinal mucosal barrier, reducing LPS translocation into blood, and further inhibiting Caspase-11/GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis in kidney.

Nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF), predominantly affecting the elderly, can lead to intractable pain, vertebral collapse, progressive kyphotic deformity, and neurological impairment, significantly compromising patients′ quality of life. There exists considerable debate on diagnosis and management of OVF, encompassing key issues such as clinical diagnosis and staging criteria for nonunion, surgical indications and procedure selection, and postoperative rehabilitation planning. Currently, there lacks standardized clinical guideline and expert consensus on the diagnosis and management of OVF nonunion in China. To address this gap, Minimally Invasive Surgery Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Osteoporosis Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Prevention and Rehabilitation Committee for Osteoporosis of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine and Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Surgery Branch of China Association for Geriatric Care jointly organized domestic experts in spinal surgery, endocrinology, and rehabilitation to formulate the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment for nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures ( version 2025), based on existing literature and clinical experience and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and practicality. The guideline provided 13 evidence-based recommendations encompassing diagnosis and treatment of OVF nonunion, aiming to standardize its clinical management.

Sacroiliac complex injuries are commonly seen in high-energy pelvic fractures. The injuries make a big difference in treatment patterns due to the diverse injury types, posing considerable challenges in formulating optimal treatment strategies, and hence are persistent clinical difficulties in orthopedic trauma. The clinical management of sacroiliac complex injuries presents several key challenges such as a non-negligible rate of missed diagnoses in associated vascular and visceral injuries, absence of standardized protocols for surgical approaches and reduction-fixation strategies across different injury patterns, and ongoing controversies regarding surgical indications and optimal timing for patients combined with concomitant lumbosacral plexus injuries. Currently, no systematic clinical guidelines are available for the diagnosis and treatment of sacroiliac complex injuries both domestically and internationally. To this end, the Pelvic and Acetabular Surgery Group, Orthopedic Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care and Orthopedic Physician Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized a panel of domestic experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of sacroiliac complex injuries ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medicine and adhering to the principles of scientific rigor, clinical applicability, and innovation. These guidelines provided 11 recommendations covering diagnosis, therapeutic principles and techniques, management protocols for lumbosacral plexus injuries, outcome evaluation, and postoperative rehabilitation pathways, etc., aiming to standardize the clinical management of sacroiliac complex injuries.

Objective:To investigate the ability to diagnose, treat and manage kidney disease in Shanghai community health service centers.Methods:This was a cross-sectional survey. An online questionnaire survey was conducted in November 2023 among 248 Shanghai community health service centers and 2 140 general practitioners in Shanghai. The main topics of the institutional research were the kidney disease-related inspection items that medical institutions could carry out, the kidney disease diagnosis and treatment drugs, the kidney disease grass-roots management training, the opening of kidney disease clinics and the establishment of kidney disease standard diagnosis and treatment records. The main topics of the survey of general practitioners were general information, standardized diagnosis and management measures of kidney disease, knowledge based on the diagnosis and treatment guidelines of chronic kidney disease, and difficulties in standardized management of kidney disease.Results:Among the laboratory examination items in Shanghai community health service centers, the rates of routine urine (99.60%, 247 centers), renal function (95.16%, 236 centers) and urinary microalbumin (89.11%, 229 centers) were high. Among the imaging examinations, B-ultrasound of urinary system had the highest rate (92.34%, 229 centers). The preparation rate of kidney disease drugs varied widely among the centers, and the preparation rate of Chinese drugs such as Jinshuibao, nephritis Kangfu tablet and Shenshuaining was more than 90%. Sixty-six (26.61%) community health service centers had established kidney disease clinics. The overall accuracy rate of community general practitioners was 63.81% (13 656/21 400), of which the accuracy rate for diagnosis and screening method, referral indication and emergency dialysis indication was more than 85%, but the accuracy rate for drug treatment and careful medication was low at 28.93% (1 238/4 280) and 33.22% (711/2 140), respectively. There was a willingness for Community general practitioners to provide all aspects of life guidance for patients with kidney disease, but for patients with end-stage renal disease replacement therapy, there was a preference for this to be provided by the appropriate specialist.Conclusions:The community health service centers in Shanghai has already had the basic conditions for the management of kidney disease in terms of basic examination and testing equipment, drugs, etc. The community general practitioners have a certain knowledge of kidney disease, and the drug treatment needs to be strengthened.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.
