Objective:New HIV infections serve as a crucial indicator for assessing the dynamic changes in the HIV epidemic. This study aims to estimate the number of new HIV infections in Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province (Dehong), using a back-calculation method that integrates diagnosis delay approaches and Bayesian theory. Additionally, it compares the differences between these two estimation methods.Methods:Data were obtained from the Chinese Information System for Disease Control and Prevention. Based on CD4 + T lymphocytes (CD4) counts depletion model, the first CD4 count prior to antiretroviral therapy of HIV-infected individuals diagnosed in Dehong from 2010 to 2023 was utilized to retroactively determine the infection date of HIV-infected individuals and ascertain the annual number of new HIV infections who had been diagnosed. Subsequently, the diagnosis delay distribution method and Bayesian theory were leveraged to assess the diagnosis probability of newly infected individuals, thereby projecting the number of new HIV infections in the region over the specified period. Results:During 2010-2023, a total of 5 693 individuals aged 15 and above, excluding mother-to-child transmission, were diagnosed with HIV in Dehong. After excluding 364 cases due to missing CD4 count results or abnormal first CD4 counts (≥2 000 cells/μl), 5 329 HIV-infected individuals were included in the final analysis. Through CD4 counts back-calculation from 2010 to 2023, the annual number of new infections diagnosed was 479, 427, 337, 305, 256, 219, 194, 193, 131, 166, 120, 71, 42 and 47. When using the diagnosis delay distribution method and life table analysis, the cumulative diagnosis probability rose from 0.301 within one year to 0.913 within 14 years, leading to a reduction in the number of estimated new infections from 577 in 2010 to 168 in 2023, with a total estimate of 4 412 (95% CI:4 350-4 480). Alternatively, based on Bayesian theory, the diagnosis probability increased from 0.413 within one year to 0.946 within 14 years, leading to a reduction in the number of estimated new infections from 557 in 2010 to 122 in 2023, with a total of 3 814 (95% CI: 3 787-3 837). Conclusions:Both methods yielded consistent results in estimating new HIV infections in Dehong from 2010 to 2023. Given the region's ongoing expansion of HIV testing, the estimates derived from Bayesian theory may more accurately reflect the actual situation. These findings provide a reference basis for formulating and optimizing HIV/AIDS prevention and control strategies in Dehong, facilitating progress toward the goal of eliminating AIDS by 2030 in the region.

Objective To analyze the mechanism that Hcp1 protein in type Ⅵ secretion system of Burkholderia pseudomallei(B.pseudomallei)mediates the formation of multinucleated giant cells(MNGCs)when host cells are infected by the bacterium.Methods The mutant strain(BPC006 Δhcp1)and complementation strain(BPC006 Δhcp1::hcp1)were constructed by homologous recombination and plasmid complement technology,respectively.After RAW264.7 cells were infected with B.pseudomallei,the localization of Hcp1 in host cells was analyzed by immunofluorescence staining.The localization was further verified by cytoplasmic-membrane isolation in 293T cells after transfecting pCDNA4.1-Hcp1.The biological significance and effect of Hcp1 were explored by the anti-Hcp1 polyclonal antibody blocking and the formation of MNGC was detected by Giemsa staining.Results Western blotting showed that BPC006 Δhcp1 could not express Hcp1,while BPC006 Δhcp1::hcp1 restored Hcp1 expression.The above results proved that the mutant and complement strains were successfully constructed.Both cellular immunofluorescence co-localization and cytoplasmic-membrane isolation experiments showed that Hcp1 localized to host cell membranes.Last but not least,compared with the control group,anti-Hcp1 polyclonal antibodies inhibited the formation of MNGC(P<0.01).Conclusion Hcp1 protein in type Ⅵ secretion system of B.pseudomallei is able to translocate to the RAW264.7 cell membranes and plays an important role in the formation of MNGCs.

Objective To understand HIV incidence in community residents and epidemiological characteristics of newly detected HIV infection cases in Dali,Yunnan province.Methods A cohort study was conducted among 146720 community residents who were tested to be HIV negative during 2010-2011,they were followed-up from June 1,2014 to May 31,2015.Results A total of 136356 community residents received follow up (92.9%).The follow-up time was 0.23-5.40 years (medium:3.43 years),cumulatively 459675 person years,and 78 people were found to be HIV positive.The incidence rate of HIV infection was 0.170/1000 person years.The incidence rate was 0.037/1000 person years in age group 15-29 years,0.288/1000 person years in age group 30-44 years,0.210/1000 person years in age group 45-59 years,0.204/1000 person years in age ≥60 years;0.213/1 000 person years in males,0.130/1000 person years in females;0.248/1000 person years inHan ethnic group,0.149/1000 person years in Minorities;0.194/1000 in people with education level ≤junior middle school,0.046/1000 person years in people with education level > junior middle school;0.070/1000 person years in the unmarried,0.194/1000 person years in the married and 0.425/1000person years in the divorced/widowed.Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that being male (HR=l.731),aged 30-44 years (HR=13.158),aged 45-59 years (HR=10.329),aged ≥60years (HR=8.291),unmarried (HR=3.162) and divorced/widowed (HR=2.689) were the risk factors for HIV infection,while the education level > junior middle school (HR=0.132) was the protective factor for HIV infection.Conclusions By medium 3.43 years follow up,the cohort study showed that incidence rate HIV infection was 0.170/1000 person years in the community residents in Dali.Male,middle aged and old people,people with low education level,the unmarried and the divorced/widowed had relatively higher risk to be infected with HIV,Close attention should be paid to the prevention and control of AIDS in these populations.

This study was aimed to optimize extraction techniques of Compound Rhubarb Enema. Based on the for-mula principle of Compound Rhubarb Enema, effects of the amount of water, soaking time, extraction time and fre-quency on each index were studied. The content of Aloe-emodin, Rhein, Emodin, Chrysophanol, Physcion, Citric acid, and water soluble substance were taken into consideration. The best extraction condition was optimized by using the orthogonal test coupled with the multi-index comprehensive evaluation. The results showed that the best condi-tion was soaking for 10 min, extraction time for 60 min, extraction for 3 times; and 6 times of water was added. It was concluded that this preparation techniques were feasible and reliable for the manufacturing process of Compound Rhubarb Enema.

OBJECTIVE: To study the photostability of the levofloxacin hydrochloride injection. METHODS: The content of levofloxacin hydrochloride was determined and its UV spectra changes were observed after being lighted by three different light sources-the UV light, the sunlight and the natural light for different periods of time. Whether there is any decomposed product or not was determined by TLC. RESULTS: There were decompositions of levofloxacin hydrochloride injection subjected to illumination from three light resources, with that under the sunlight decomposed faster; Rf value under TLC of the decomposed product was found to be 0.72. CONCLUSION: Levofloxacin hydrochloride injection should be kept away from UV light, the sunlight and the natural light.
