ObjectiveTo analyze the detected results of CD4+T lymphocytes and viral load in newly identified human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients in Huangpu District of Shanghai in 2023, to explore the correlation between them, so as to provide a scientific basis for the development of targeted prevention and control measures and antiviral treatment programs. MethodsThe data of CD4 cell count, viral load and demographic characteristics of the newly infected patients living with HIV in Huangpu District, Shanghai in 2023 were collected and analyzed by using descriptive epidemiological method. ResultsThe mean CD4 cell count of the 67 newly identified HIV infected patients in Huangpu District was (301.22±235.19) cells·µL-1, with a mean viral load of (5.15±1.28) ×105 copies·mL-1.There were statistically significant differences in CD4 cell count and viral load among different age groups (P<0.05), but there were no statistically significant differences by gender and marital status (both P>0.05). The CD4 cell count and CD4/CD8 ratio both were negatively correlated with the lg value of viral load (r=-0.290, -0.378; P=0.027, 0.002). ConclusionThe CD4 cell counts of the newly identified HIV infected patients in Huangpu District in 2023 were generally low, the proportion of patients with high viral load was high, but the risk for elderly infected with HIV was high. The elderly have gradually become the key population for AIDS prevention and control in Huangpu District. It is recommended to expand HIV screening in the elderly to reduce the risk of HIV transmission and increase the rate of early detection and treatment.

Background::Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a recently recognized immune-mediated disorder that can affect almost any organ in the human body. IgG4-RD can be categorized into proliferative and fibrotic subtypes based on patients’ clinicopathological characteristics. This study aimed to compare the clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, and treatment outcomes of IgG4-RD among different subtypes.Methods::We prospectively enrolled 622 patients with newly diagnosed IgG4-RD at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from March 2011 to August 2021. The patients were divided into three groups according to their clinicopathological characteristics: proliferative, fibrotic, and mixed subtypes. We compared demographic features, clinical manifestations, organ involvement, laboratory tests, and treatment agents across three subtypes. We then assessed the differences in treatment outcomes among 448 patients receiving glucocorticoids alone or in combination with immunosuppressants. Moreover, risk factors of relapse were revealed by applying the univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis.Results::We classified the 622 patients into three groups consisting of 470 proliferative patients, 55 fibrotic patients, and 97 mixed patients, respectively. We found that gender distribution, age, disease duration, and frequency of allergy history were significantly different among subgroups. In terms of organ involvement, submandibular and lacrimal glands were frequently involved in the proliferative subtype, while retroperitoneum was the most commonly involved site in both fibrotic subtype and mixed subtype. The comparison of laboratory tests revealed that eosinophils ( P = 0.010), total IgE ( P = 0.006), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein ( P <0.001), erythrocyte sedimentation rate ( P <0.001), complement C4 ( P <0.001), IgG ( P = 0.001), IgG1 (P <0.001), IgG4 (P <0.001), and IgA ( P <0.001), at baseline were significantly different among three subtypes. Compared with proliferative and mixed subtypes, the fibrotic subtype showed the lowest rate of relapse (log-rank P = 0.014). Conclusions::Our study revealed the differences in demographic characteristics, clinical manifestations, organ involvement, laboratory tests, treatment agents, and outcomes across proliferative, fibrotic, and mixed subtypes in the retrospective cohort study. Given significant differences in relapse-free survival among the three subtypes, treatment regimens, and follow-up frequency should be considered separately according to different subtypes.Trial Registration::ClinicalTrials. gov, NCT01670695.

Objective:To investigate and analyze the correlation between the expression levels of CD38, HLA-DR and programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) on peripheral blood CD8 +T cells and HIV-1 RNA viral load, immune activation and exhaustion in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Methods:A total of 81 HIV/AIDS patients (64 without antiretroviral therapy and 17 with therapy) and 40 healthy donors in the same period were enrolled as the control group. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the CD4 +T lymphocyte count and the expression levels of activation markers CD38 and HLA-DR and apoptosis marker PD-1 on CD8 +T cells. HIV-1 RNA in the plasma of HIV-1 infected patients was quantitatively detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Variance analysis was used to compare the expression levels of CD38, HLA-DR and PD-1 on CD8 +T cells between HIV/AIDS patients and healthy controls. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between different T lymphocyte counts and HIV RNA viral load, and the correlation between HIV RNA viral load and peripheral blood CD8 +T cell CD38, HLA-DR and PD-1. Results:Among the 81 HIV/AIDS patients, 69 (85.19%) were males and 12 (14.81%) were females, with an age M ( Q1, Q3) of 58 (36.5, 65.0) years. There were 60 HIV/AIDS patients over 55 years old (74.07%) and 21 HIV/AIDS patients between 18 and 55 years old (25.93%). The results of variance analysis showed that compared with the healthy control group, the expression levels of CD38, HLA-DR and PD-1 on CD8 +T cells in HIV/AIDS patients increased, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). In addition, the expression of CD38, HLA-DR and PD-1 increased significantly in patients with CD4 +T cell count less than 350 cells/μl, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that CD4 +and CD4 +/CD8 +were negatively correlated with viral load in HIV/AIDS patients ( r=-0.407 and -0.378, respectively, both P<0.05), and CD8 +was positively correlated with viral load ( r=0.356, P<0.05). When the HIV RNA level was≤10 5 CPs/ml, there was no correlation between the HIV RNA level and the expression levels of CD38, HLA-DR and PD-1 on CD8 +T cells (all P>0.05). However, when the level of HIV RNA was>10 5 CPs/ml, the level of HIV RNA was positively correlated with the expression levels of CD38, HLA-DR and PD-1 on CD8 +T cells ( r=0.412, 0.387, 0.395, respectively, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The activation levels of CD38 and HLA-DR and the expression of PD-1 on CD8 +T cells in the peripheral blood of HIV/AIDS patients are increased. When the viral load is high, the HIV RNA viral load is positively correlated with the activation and exhaustion levels of CD8 +T cells.

Objective:To understand the nutritional nursing competence in the enteral nutrition demonstration wards at this stage, so as to inform subsequent training plan.Methods:From September to October in 2023, nurses from 287 institutions involved in the enteral nutrition demonstration ward construction project were selected using convenience sampling. Questionnaires on general characteristics and self-assessment scale on nutrition nursing competence were used for online survey. The status quo and influencing factors of nutrition nursing competence in included institutions were analyzed.Results:A total of 5 409 valid questionnaires were collected, with a response rate of 62.63%. The total score of nutrition nursing competence was 74.74±16.11, with the least subtotals in the domain of nutrtion knowledge. Multiple linear regression showed that influencing factors of nutrition nursing competence includes years of working, department, registered dietitian or not, nutrition management specialist or not, completion of the curriculum in enteral nutrition demonstration ward construction project, and training/supervision arranged by their department concerning nutrtion nursing and relevant evaluation criteria ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The nutritional nursing competence of clinical nurses in the wards involved in enteral nutrition demonstration ward construction project still needs to be improved. Seniors should take into consideration the varying nutritional nursing competence among junior nurses and nurses from different departments, and strengthen the training on nutrition knowledge. It should be encouraged for nurses to actively participate in nutritionist training. Actions including enhancing nutrition specialist training, establishing the multidisciplinary collaborative nutrition care team and conducting regular supervision and assessment should be implemented in the future, to improve the nutritional nursing competence among nurses.

Objective:To investigate and analyze the status quo and risk factors of swallowing function and safe eating behavior in elderly type 2 diabetes patients with frailty, so as to provide a reference for clinical early identification and early prevention.Methods:From July 2021 to December 2022, 295 patients with type 2 diabetes accompanied with frailty were selected from the Endocrinology Department of Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University by convenience sampling. Patients were surveyed using the Tilburg Frailty Indicator (TFI) and the Eating Assessment Tool-10. Single factor analysis and Logistic regression analysis were used to explore the influencing factors of swallowing function and safe eating behavior in elderly type 2 diabetes patients with frailty.Results:A total of 295 questionnaires were distributed, and 291 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 98.64%. There were 94 cases in the group with abnormal swallowing function and safe eating behavior, and 197 cases in the group with normal swallowing function and safe eating behavior. There were statistical differences in age, body mass index, duration of diabetes, TFI score, education level, and number of chronic diseases between the two groups ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the duration of diabetes ( OR=1.047, P=0.024), TFI score ( OR=1.147, P=0.009), and the number of chronic diseases ( OR=1.282, P=0.035) were the influencing factors of swallowing function and safe eating behavior in elderly type 2 diabetes patients with frailty. Conclusions:Abnormal swallowing function and safe eating behavior are common in elderly type 2 diabetes patients with frailty, and the duration of diabetes, frailty and chronic comorbidity are independent risk factors.

Objective? To explore the effect of multi-mode interactive continuous nursing on home rehabilitation and complications of patients after total hip arthroplasty(THA). Methods? From January 2017 to July 2018, patients undergoing THA in Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital were selected by purposive sampling method. They were randomly divided into two groups according to visit numbers. There were 43 effective cases in the control group and 42 in the observation group. The control group adopted the traditional telephone follow-up mode, while the observation group adopted the multi-mode interactive continuous nursing intervention. The Modified Barthel Index(MBI), Harris Hip Score(HHS) and 6-Minute Walking Tes(t 6MWT) were used to compare the rehabilitation effects of the two groups at discharge, 1, 3 and 6 months after operation, and the complications, unplanned hospital visits and hospitalizations of the two groups were compared. Results? There was no significant difference in each index between the two groups at discharge (P> 0.05). The scores of MBI in the observation group were (78.57±7.43), (90.36±7.76), (94.41±7.51) respectively at 1, 3 and 6 months after operation, which were higher than those in the control group [(70.35±7.60), (82.40±7.82), (91.86±8.80)], and there were significant differences between the two groups at 1 and 3 months after operation (P< 0.05). The scores of HHS in the observation group were (82.05±7.40), (87.52±6.94), (91.17±7.40) respectively, higher than those in the control group (78.40±7.51), (84.09±7.23), (88.37±8.46), there were significant differences between the two groups at 1 and 3 months after operation (P< 0.05). The distance of 6MWT in the observation group were (174.76±35.04)m, (241.55±40.67)m, (282.86±46.46) m, higher than those in the control group (151.61±42.52)m, (214.42±48.59)m, (260.35±48.05) m. There were significantly statistical differences in the 1, 3 and 6 months after operation (P<0.05). In the observation group, there were 1 case of fracture, 9 cases of unplanned hospital visit or hospitalization, 2 cases of dislocation, 1 case of infection and 20 cases of unplanned hospital visit or hospitalization in the control group. Conclusions? Continuous nursing with multi-mode interaction can improve the effect of home rehabilitation after THA, effectively improve the early and long-term hip function of patients, prevent and reduce complications, and improve the quality of life of patients.
