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.

Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of Morinda officinalis oligosaccharides in the continuation treatment of mild and moderate depression.Methods An open,single-arm,multi-center design was adopted in our study.Adult patients with mild and moderate depression who had received acute treatment of Morinda officinalis oligosaccharides were enrolled and continue to receive Morinda officinalis oligosaccharides capsules for 24 weeks,the dose remained unchanged during continuation treatment.The remission rate,recurrence rate,recurrence time,and the change from baseline to endpoint of Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD),Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA),Clinical Global Impression-Severity(CGI-S)and Arizona Sexual Experience Scale(ASEX)were evaluated.The incidence of treatment-related adverse events was reported.Results The scores of HAMD-17 at baseline and after treatment were 6.60±1.87 and 5.85±4.18,scores of HAMA were 6.36±3.02 and 4.93±3.09,scores of CGI-S were 1.49±0.56 and 1.29±0.81,scores of ASEX were 15.92±4.72 and 15.57±5.26,with significant difference(P＜0.05).After continuation treatment,the remission rate was 54.59％(202 cases/370 cases),and the recurrence rate was 6.49％(24 cases/370 cases),the recurrence time was(64.67±42.47)days.The incidence of treatment-related adverse events was 15.35％(64 cases/417 cases).Conclusion Morinda officinalis oligosaccharides capsules can be effectively used for the continuation treatment of mild and moderate depression,and are well tolerated and safe.

AIM:To investigate the effect of Bushen formulae(BHF)on bone metabolism and its possible mechanism in ovariectomized rats with high salt intake.METHODS:According to the random number table method,80 SPF-grade Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into sham group,ovariectomy(OVX)group,medium-high-salt diet(MSD)group,high-salt diet(HSD)group,BHF group,BHF with normal saline(BHF+NS)group,BHF+MSD group,and BHF+ HSD group,with 10 rats in each group.After modeling,different diets and BHF formula interventions were administered,and the concentrations of sodium chloride added to MSD group and HSD group were 2%(w/w)and 8%(w/w),respective-ly.The dose of BHF was 7.8 g·kg-1·d-1,once a day,and the treatment lasted for 12 weeks.Bone density,bone microar-chitecture,bone parameters,bone metabolism biomarkers,bone histopathological changes,the expression of epithelial sodium channel α(ENaCα),Na-Cl cotransporter(NCC),and voltage-gated chloride channel 3(ClC-3)proteins in bone tissue were detected in each group.RESULTS:Compared with sham group,the rats in OVX group had reduced bone density and destroyed bone microstructure.Compared with OVX group,the bone microstructure in MSD and HSD groups was more significantly damaged,while the levels of bone formation markers,bone glycoprotein(BGP)and type Ⅰ procolla-gen N-terminal peptide(PINP),were significantly increased in HSD group(P<0.05).Moreover,the levels of bone re-sorption markers,such as amino-terminal cross-linked telopeptides of type Ⅰ collagen(NTX),carboxy-terminal cross-linked telopeptides of type Ⅰ collagen(CTX)and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase(TRACP),were significantly in-creased(P<0.05),indicating that bone metabolism was in high-conversion state.High-salt diet accelerated the structural destruction of bone trabeculae,and Western blot results showed that high-salt diet caused decreases in the protein expres-sion levels of ENaCα and ClC-3 and an increase in the protein expression level of NCC in femoral tissues(P<0.05).After BHF intervention,the expression of relevant ion channels caused by high salt could be regulated to different degrees.CONCLUSION:Bushen formulae could differentially regulate the expression of relevant ion channels ENaCα,ClC-3,and NCC induced by high salt to different degrees,which has certain ameliorative and therapeutic effects on the imbalance of bone metabolism.

Objective To analyze the clinicopathological features of bladder urothelial carcinoma BUC in children and to share the experience of diagnosis and treatment.Methods The clinicopathological data,diagnosis and treatment process of a rare 9-year-old boy with BUC treated in the Second People's Hospital of Kashgar were reported and the literature was reviewed.Results The main clinical symptom is hematuria.Both preoperative urinary ultrasound and CT urography(CTU)identified the tumor,which was then removed with transurethral holmium laser resection under general anesthesia.Postoperative pathology confirmed papillary urothelial neoplasm of low malignant potential(PUNLMP).Epirubicin hydrochloride instillation was administered,and no evidence of recurrence or progress was detected during the 3-month follow-up.Conclusion Bladder urothelial carcinoma in children is extremely rare.The most common symptom is hematuria,and there are no characteristic signs.Urinary ultrasound is the first choice for preoperative imaging,and transurethral resection of the carcinoma results in good recovery.There is no recommendable instillation,and patients need long-term postoperative follow-up.

Objective　To assess the willingness of students with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in Jiangsu Province to undergo preventive treatment and identify factors influencing their decision, aiming to provide insights for tuberculosis prevention and control strategies in school. Methods The physical examination information of tuberculosis latent infection cases was collected from screenings of new school enrollment and contacts of tuberculosis patients in 6 cities of Jiangsu Province from December 2022 to December 2023. Data on past medical history and understanding of preventive treatment were gathered through an online questionnaire survey on the website of Juanxing, and the influencing factors related to the willingness to take preventive medication were analyzed by logistic regression analysis model. Results In December 2022 to December 2023, a total of 13 school tuberculosis outbreaks occurred in 6 cities, and 1 661 contacts were screened, among which 162 cases met the criteria for prophylactic medication, 96 cases were included in the study by filling in the questionnaire. A total of 22 600 new students from 56 schools participated in the TB screening upon enrollment, of which 358 tested positive for the tuberculin skin test alone, meeting the criteria for preventive medication, and 251 of them completed the willingness survey. Finally, 347 students who met the criteria for preventive treatment were included in the study, with 164 expressing to accept preventive treatment representing a treatment acceptance rate of 47.3%. The results of multivariate analysis showed that university (OR=17.950, 95%CI: 3.078-104.686, P=0.001) and contact with the source of school tuberculosis epidemic (OR=19.542, 95%CI: 6.289-60.726, P<0.001) were associated with increased willingness to receive preventive treatment, while unclear whether to pay for the drugs themselves (OR=0.349, 95%CI:0.133-0.916, P=0.032) was associated with decreased willingness to receive preventive treatment. Compared with Huai'an City, the willingness to receive preventive treatment was significantly lower among students from Nantong City (OR=0.005, 95%CI:0.000-0.063, P<0.001), Nanjing City (OR=0.022, 95%CI: 0.003-0.703, P<0.001) and Lianyungang City (OR=0.074, 95%CI:0.008-0.703, P=0.023). Conclusions The acceptance rate of preventive treatment among LTBI students in Jiangsu Province is not high and is affected by multiple factors. Health education and medication mobilization for preventive medication are essential.

Objective To construct curcumin pyrazole derivative by the reaction of diketone of curcumin and benzylhydrazine based on the above structure-activity relationship,and to explore its antioxidant activity to provide experimental basis for the development of curcumin antioxidant derivative.Methods Curcumin-N-substituted pyrazole derivative was synthesized from curcumin and benzylhydrazine.The structures of the derivative were confirmed by infrared spectroscopy(IR),nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(1H-NMR,13C-NMR)and LC-MS.The antioxidant activity in vitro of the derivative was evaluated by determination of curcumin and its pyrazole derivative scavenging ability for 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH)free radical and 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid(ABTS)free radical.Results Curcumin pyrazole derivative was successfully synthesized.Curcumin and its pyrazole derivative showed good free radical scavenging effects in the range of 4.6-73.6,6.25-100 μg·mL-1,respectively,with a significant dose-effect relationship.The half-maximal inhibition(IC50)values of curcumin and its pyrazole derivatives determined by DPPH method were 14.24,40.37 μg·mL-1,respectively,while the IC50 values of curcumin and its pyrazole derivatives determined by ABTS method were 36.65,19.26 μg·mL-1,respectively.Conclusion The antioxidant activity of β-dione of curcumin was retained through the substitution of the pyrazole ring,and the curcumin pyrazole derivative deserves further investigation as a potential antioxidant.

Objective To evaluate the antioxidant function of Chrysanthemum morifolium from different origins and to identify their antioxidant material basis.Methods The HPLC fingerprints of the water extracts of C.morifolium from different origins were established.The antioxidant activities of C.morifolium were assayed by measuring the 2.2-diphenyl-l-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH),hydroxyl radical,ABTS,superoxide anion radical scavenging capacity and ferric ion reducing capacity FRAP.Entropy-weighted TOPSIS was used to calculate the weighting coefficients of the single indexes.Grey relational analysis(GRA)and partial least squares were used for spectrum-effect analysis to identify the antioxidant material basis of C.morifolium.Results A total of 16 common peaks were discovered in the fingerprint of the water extracts of 10 batches of C.morifolium,among which 13 common components were identified.All the C.morifolium samples had good antioxidant capacity,and the results of entropy-weighted TOPSIS analysis showed that the ranking of total antioxidant potency of 10 batches of C.morifolium was follows:S1＞S8＞S3＞S5＞S4＞S10＞S7＞S2＞S9＞S6.The peaks of 1-5,9,10,12,14 were positively correlated with the antioxidant activity and the variable influence on projection(VIP)values were greater than 1.The correlation coefficients of these nine peaks in GRA were all greater than 0.7.Conclusion The entropy-weighted TOPSIS method combined with the spectrum-effect analysis could be used to screen out the antioxidant material basis of C.morifolium and the results provide a basis for establishing quality assessment system for C.morifolium based on Quality-markers thus improving the quality control level.

Objective To investigate the features of autonomic nervous function symptoms in patients with different motor subtypes of Parkinson disease(PD)and the impact of autonomic dysfunction on quality of life in patients with different motor subtypes of PD.Methods Basic information was recorded for all patients enrolled in this study,including the scores of both motor and non-motor symptoms.The patients were divided into different subtypes based on tremor-dominant(TD)and postural instability and gait difficulty(PIGD)scores.Motor and non-motor symptoms,especially autonomic symptoms,were compared between the patients with TD subtype and those with PIGD subtype,and the association between autonomic dysfunction and quality of life was analyzed for patients with different motor subtypes.Results There were 105 patients(57.7%)in the TD group and 63(34.6%)in the PIGD group.There were no significant differences between the TD group and the PIGD group in age,sex,lifestyle,course of disease,levodopa equivalent dose,and disease severity,and there were also no significant differences between the two groups in the scores of anxiety,depression,apathy,cognition,and constipation,the reduction in systolic blood pressure(SBP)in standing and supine positions,and the incidence rate of orthostatic hypotension before and after medication.The PIGD group had a significantly higher total score of autonomic nervous function than the TD group,with a median of 24 and 19,respectively.The median of quality of life score was 66 points in the PIGD group and 46 points in the TD group,suggesting that the PIGD group had a poorer quality of life than the TD group.Quality of life was positively correlated with autonomic nervous function symptoms in the PD patients in both the PIGD group(R2=0.209,P=0.000)and the TD group(R2=0.166,P=0.000).In the TD group,quality of life was correlated with constipation(r=0.313,P=0.002)and the maximum difference in SBP in standing and supine positions before Madopar administration(r=0.252,P=0.009).Conclusion PD patients with PIGD subtype tend to have more severe symptoms of autonomic dysfunction and a lower quality of life than those with TD subtype.PD patients with both TD and PIGD subtypes tend to have a worse quality of life due to severe autonomic dysfunction,and the quality of life of patients with TD subtype is also correlated with constipation and the maximal difference in SBP in standing and supine positions before Madopar administration.
