Objective:To investigate the drug resistance of newly diagnosed HIV-1 infected patients in Shanghai and to provide reference value for clinical antiretroviral therapy (ART).Methods:The peripheral venous blood plasma of 196 newly diagnosed HIV-1 infected patients screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria at the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center from April to June 2023 was collected, HIV-1 RNA was extracted, the pol region was amplified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for sequencing, the mutation sites and ART drug resistance were analyzed.Results:The plasma of 196 newly diagnosed HIV-1 infected patients was amplified successfully in 162 cases (amplification success rate was 82.65%). The subtypes consisted of CRF07_BC(51.23%), CRF01_AE (27.78%), and others (6.79%), CRF55_01B (5.56%), B (3.70%), CRF01_AE/B (3.70%) and CRF08_BC (1.23%). The overall transmitted drug resistance rate was 7.41%, the protease inhibitors (PIs), non-nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), integrase inhibitors (INSTIs) resistance rates were 3.09%, 3.70%, 0.00% and 0.62%, respectively. The proportion of NNRTIs-related mutation sites in B (66.67%) and CRF55_01B (88.89%) was higher than that in CRF07_BC (13.25%); the proportion of NNRTIs-related mutation sites in CRF55_01B (88.89%) was higher than that in CRF01_AE (22.22%) and other subtypes (18.18%), the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the probability of PIs-related mutation sites in CRF01_AE/B was 21.71 times that of CRF07_BC[odds ratio ( OR)=21.71, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 3.36-140.27, P=0.001]. Conclusions:The transmitted drug resistance among newly diagnosed HIV-1 infected patients in Shanghai is at the moderate epidemic level, mainly NNRTIs and PIs-related drug resistance, and the INSTIs resistance rate is low, the use of INSTIs in ART regimens should be considered.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) complicated by sever gastrointestinal hemorrhage in children.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 4 JDM patients with sever gastrointestinal hemorrhage admitted to our hospital, from January 2017 to January 2025. Data including demographics, clinical manifestations, laboratory and imaging findings, treatment courses, and outcomes were reviewed.Results:The cohort comprised 4 patients (2 males, 2 females), with onset ages of 6.1, 6.2, 10.0 and 8.0 years. All presented with rash and fatigue and were diagnosed with severe refractory JDM (strongly positive anti-NXP2 antibodies). Sever gastrointestinal hemorrhage occurred 18, 12, 51, and 2 months after JDM diagnosis. Two cases had confirmed gastrointestinal infections due to contaminated food. Abdominal pain was the initial gastrointestinal symptom and black stool was observed in all cases, hemoglobin levels dropped below 60 g/L (case 1-4 decreased to 38, 59, 60 and 43 g/L respectively). All patients exhibited intestinal wall thickening. Active bleeding sites included the duodenum (3 cases: 2 cases near the duodenal papilla, 1 cases with diffuse duodenal oozing). Emergency endoscopic hemostasis was performed in 3 cases. One patient with diffuse duodenal bleeding required additional glucocortieoid pulse therapy after failed interventional embolization. Three patients stabilized following aggressive treatment of JDM, while 1 case died due to duodenal perforation.Conclusions:Anti-NXP2 antibody-positive JDM patients are prone to gastrointestinal involvement, particularly in chronic cases. Duodenal bleeding is common, with vascular erosion and deep mucosal ulcers posing life-threatening risks. For children with positive anti-NXP2 antibodies who present with abdominal pain and thickened intestinal walls, early endoscopic examination should be conducted as soon as possible to detect digestive tract lesions and provide timely treatment. Patients with severe digestive tract bleeding usually require active treatment for the underlying disease combined with endoscopic hemostasis therapy. Under timely treatment, the prognosis is relatively favorable.

Objective:To describe the application methods, types, and effects of wearable devices in sarcopenia.Methods:Following the guidelines for scoping reviews, a systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, and VIP for literature related to wearable device applications in sarcopenia. The search period covered publications from database inception to August 1, 2024.Results:A total of 12 studies were included. Wearable devices in sarcopenia were primarily used for monitoring gait speed, surface electromyography, sleep duration, activity time, and supporting exercise interventions. Common types of wearable devices included activity trackers, smart belts, and smart wristbands. Their effectiveness, feasibility, and role in ensuring activity safety have been preliminarily demonstrated.Conclusions:The application of wearable devices in sarcopenia is still in its early stages but shows great potential. Currently, wearable devices are mainly used to monitor one or a few individual indicators. Future research should focus on developing multi-parameter monitoring devices and conducting large-scale, high-quality trials to validate their effectiveness in both monitoring and supporting exercise interventions. This will help promote their broader application and assist healthcare professionals in the early identification, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of sarcopenia.
