Adverse events led to dose modification in 67 patients (3.02%) and discontinuation in 18 patients (0.81%). The common adverse events were rash (407/2 221, 18.33%), pruritus (41/2 221, 1.85%), constipation (41/2 221, 1.85%), and facial edema (31/2 221, 1.40%). Thirty-six patients (1.62%) experienced ≥grade 3 adverse events. After symptomatic treatment of 511 patients with adverse reactions, 50 patients (9.78%) were healed, 271 patients (53.03%) were improved, 120 patients (23.48%) were persisted, and 70 patients (13.71%) were unknown due to loss of follow-up or other reasons. Forty-three patients (1.94%) reported 57 unintended adverse reactions. Among the 599 elderly patients, 116 patients (19.37%) experienced adverse events, including 1 patient (0.17%) who experienced serious adverse events. Adverse events led to dose modification in 25 patients (4.17%) and discontinuation in 5 patients (0.83%). The common adverse events of elderly patients were rash (88/599, 14.69%), constipation (14/599, 2.34%), facial edema (12/599, 2.00%), and pruritus (10/599, 1.67%). Twelve patients (2.00%) experienced ≥grade 3 adverse events. Among the 116 elderly patients with adverse reactions following the symptomatic treatment, 11 patients (9.48%) were healed, 58 patients (50.00%) were improved, 28 patients (24.13%) were persisted, and 19 patients (16.39%) were unknown due to loss of follow-up or other reasons. During the treatment, 1 patient (0.05%) experienced grade 2 interstitial lung disease, and no patient died due to adverse events.Conclusion:Ensartinib has a favorable safety profile in the real-world populations, with the most frequent adverse events being rash, mostly mild, and low incidence of ≥grade 3 adverse events. Overall, adverse reactions were tolerable and manageable.

Objective:To analyze the status of first viral load (VL) suppression for newly diagnosed HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy (ART) from 2014 to 2016 in Shandong province, to provide theoretical evidence for improvement of ART effectiveness.Methods:Based on a retrospective cohort study, logistic regression model was used to identify influencing factors about VL suppression.Results:There were 4 833 newly diagnosed HIV/AIDS cases who received ART from 2014 to 2016 in Shandong province, and 3 449 cases achieved VL suppression at the first VL testing. The rate of first VL suppression was 71.36%. The possibilities of first VL suppression among patients on ART with education at junior high school, junior college and above were higher than those with education at primary school and below, with OR values at 1.75 and 2.00, separately. The possibilities of first VL suppression for patients treated at medical institutions was higher than those by CDC, with OR value 1.29. The possibilities of first VL suppression among patients whose CD4 count level at 201-350, 351-500 and ≥501 cells/μl were higher than that of the patients whose CD4 count level at ≤200 cells/μl, with OR values at 2.36, 2.11 and 2.66, respectively. The possibilities of first VL suppression among patients who missed doses was lower than those who did not miss doses, with OR value at 0.55. All the Pvalues for the above comparisons was <0.05. Conclusions:The suppression of viral load for HIV/AIDS on ART was influenced by culture level, CD4 count level at the entry of ART, treatment institutions and adherence to the therapy. Earlier diagnosis, treatment services provided by medical institutions and improvement of drug adherence can enhance ART effectiveness.

Objective:To analyze the timeliness and influencing factors of antiretroviral treatment (ART) among HIV/AIDS patients from 2017 to 2019 in Shandong province.Methods:Data were collected from the Chinese HIV/AIDS Comprehensive Response Information Management System, HIV/AIDS cases enrolled in antiretroviral therapy, from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019, ≥15 years of age and from the mainland of China were the subjects of the study. The general demographic characteristics (gender, age, ethnicity, education level, marital status, etc), infection routes, sample sources, date of diagnosis, baseline CD4+ T cell level, and clinical stage and other information were collected from the database. Univariate analysis was conducted for the timeliness of ART of the subjects by Chi square test, and the influencing factors associated with timeliness of ART were analyzed by binary non-conditional Logistic regression.Results:Among the 7 425 cases of HIV/AIDS, 6 813(91.8%) were male, 5 236(70.5%) had homosexual transmission, the age at the ART initiation was(36.05±12.51)years. The proportion of timeliness of ART within 30 d increased from 55.9% (1145/2050) in 2017 to 65.3% (1821/2789) in 2019. The possibility of timeliness of ART among HIV/AIDS who were married or cohabiting, education of high school and above were higher, with OR values at 1.136, 1.299. The possibility of timeliness of ART among HIV/AIDS cases whose domicile place is outside Shandong province were lower, with OR values at 0.664. The possibility of timeliness of ART in group of HIV/AIDS aging≥55, 45~54 and 35~44 years old were higher than that in 15~24 years old, with OR values at 1.530, 1.505 and 1.394. The possibility of timeliness of ART among the heterosexuals were lower than that of homosexuals, with OR values at 0.803. The possibility of timeliness of ART is lower for cases in places of detention centers than cases from volunteer testing and counseling, with OR values at 0.204. The possibility of timeliness of ART among HIV/AIDS cases whose CD4+ T lymphocyte at >500 cells/μL were lower than that of the cases whose CD4+ T lymphocyte at≤500 cells/μl, with OR values at 0.545. Patients without symptoms at baseline were less likely to receive prompt treatment than those with clinical symptoms, with OR values at 0.727. Patients with baseline clinical staging of stage Ⅳ, period of HIV/AIDS treatment with timeliness was longer than the cases with baseline clinical stages ofⅠ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, with OR values at 1.307. Conclusions:The proportion of timeliness of ART increased from 2017 to 2019. Marital status, educational level, age, sample source, infection routes, baseline clinical stage, and CD4+ T lymphocyte levels were associated with the timeliness of ART.

Objective To investigate the value of cytokines in bile combined with clinical indices in predicting the degree of liver injury after liver transplantation. MethodsA total of 16 patients undergoing liver transplantation who were hospitalized in Center of Organ Transplantation, The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, from January to December 2018 were enrolled, and according to the level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) on day 1 after surgery, the patients were divided into mild liver injury (ALT <500 U/L) group with 10 patients and severe liver injury (ALT >500 U/L) group with 6 patients. Bile samples were collected on days 1, 3, 5, and 7 after surgery, and MILLIPLEX assay was used to measure the levels of 17 cytokines. R software was used to perform principal component analysis (PCA) of bile cytokines and clinical indices and gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis of bile cytokines. The two-independent-samples t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups; The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups. A Spearman correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the correlation between clinical indices and bile cytokines. ROC curve analysis was used to evaluate the predictive value of cytokines in bile and clinical indices for liver injury after liver transplantation. ResultsCompared with the mild liver injury group, the severe liver injury group had significantly higher expression levels of bile Fractalkine (Z=-2.828, P=0.003), soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) (Z=-2.850, P=0.008), interleukin-4 (Z=-2.398, P=0.017), CXCL10 (Z=-2.475, P=0.023), and macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (Z=-1844, P=0.043). The correlation analysis showed that on day 1 after liver transplantation, aspartate aminotransferase, ALT, and lactate dehydrogenase were positively correlated with the levels of several cytokines in bile (all P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve of Fractalkine, sCD40L and AST were 0.933 (0.812-1.000), 0.833 (0.589-1.000) and 0.917 (0.779-1.000), respectively, suggesting that AST and Fractalkine and sCD40L in bile on the first day after liver transplantation have significant predictive value for liver injury. The results of PCA showed that bile cytokines combined with clinical indices on day 1 after liver transplantation could better distinguish the patients with mild liver injury from those with severe liver injury. GO analysis showed that bile cytokines were associated with positive feedback regulation of external stimulus, cell chemotaxis, receptor ligand activity, cytokine activity, and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction. ConclusionFractalkine and sCD40L in bile can predict the degree of liver injury after liver transplantation.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(10):1568-1570
Objective:
To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of HIV/AIDS infected students in Shandong Province, to provide a basis for the prevention and control of AIDS transmission in the student population.
Methods:
All 863 HIV/AIDS students cases during 2010-2019 were collected in Shandong Province. Epidemiological characteristics was described and the trends in the 10 years since 2010 was analyzed.
Results:
These 863 HIV/AIDS students were mainly transmitted through homosexual sex (763 cases, 88.41%), and the samples were mainly from voluntary consultation testing (433 cases, 50.17%). From 2010 to 2019, the proportion of student cases in the total number of cases showed an increasing trend ( χ 2 trend =30.21, P <0.01). Among them, the proportion of homosexual transmission cases increased year by year ( χ 2 trend =6.35, P =0.01), the proportion of cases aged 18-22 years increased year by year ( χ 2 trend =6.10, P =0.01), the proportion of cases with college degree or above increased year by year ( χ 2 trend =4.26, P =0.04). At present, voluntary consultation testing were the main source.There was no significant difference between the years of sample sources ( χ 2 trend =2.97, P =0.09).
Conclusion
The report number of students in Shandong Province are on the rise in recent years, especially those infected by same sex transmission, mainly with high education background, which calls for targeted strategies and intervention measures.

Objective:To understand the use of drug and its related factors among men who have sex with men, and to provide reference for the development of reasonable intervention measures.Methods:MSM was recruited from Jinan and Qingdao by means of on-site and internet recruiting from March to June in 2016. Anonymous questionnaires were conducted and HIV and syphilis serological tests were performed. The questionnaire included the general situation, sexual behavior, HIV related services and so on. Multi-factor unconditioned logistic regression model was used to explore related factors about rush poppers use.Results:The rush poppers use rate of 901 MSM was 30.1%(271/901), the age was (29.3±8.1) years, the HIV infection rate was 4.6% (41/901) and the syphilis infection rate was 8.7% (78/901). Multivariate analysis showed that compared with those who were>25 years old, the OR (95% CI) of those who were ≤ 25 years old was 1.571 (1.110-2.224); compared with the number of anal sexual behavior was<2 times in the last week, the OR (95% CI) of those whose number of anal sexual behavior was ≥2 times was 2.991 (1.100-8.132); compared with those who had not received peer education services in the last year, the OR (95% CI) of those who received peer education services was 13.651 (7.239-25.742). Conclusion:Rush poppers are very popular in the MSM crowd, and those who aged less than 25 years old, who had anal sex more than twice in the past week, and who had received peer education services were more likely to use rush poppers. We should carry out targeted interventions according to the characteristics.

Objective:To explore the impact of achievement of the "90-90-90" goals on reductions in HIV incidence in Shandong province.Methods:An algebraic method was developed to link new HIV infections and the "90-90-90" goals in Shandong province. The risk estimation equation was used to analyze the effect of achievement of the "90-90-90" goals on reductions of HIV incidence, and explore the impact of application of antiviral therapy based prevention and control strategy on reduction of new HIV infections.Results:If "90-90-90" goals were achieved in 2020 in Shandong compared with annual new HIV infections in 2010, the percentage of reduction would be 17.27%, 35.99% and 67.55% respectively when transmission rate decreased by 26.00%, 53.00% and 96.00% respectively. Compared with 2017, when the transmission rate decreased by 53.00%, the annual new HIV infections would has a decrease of 10.10% if the rates of diagnosis and ART reached 90.00%; the annual new HIV infections would has a decrease of 20.80% if the rates of diagnosis and viral suppression reached 90.00%; the annual new HIV infections would has a decrease of 12.29% if the rates of ART and viral suppression reached 90.00%.Conclusions:HIV incidence would decrease with the achievement of "90-90-90" goals in Shandong. Compared with the improvement of ART, the improvement in diagnosis of HIV infection and viral suppression would result in more rapid decrease of new HIV infections. Besides expanding ART coverage, more attention should be paid to the strengthening of the diagnosis of HIV infection and viral suppression in Shandong.
