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.

This article systematically analyzes the historical evolution of the name， origin， quality evaluation， harvesting， processing and other aspects of Picrorhizae Rhizoma by referring to the medical books， prescription books， and other documents of the past dynasties， combined with relevant modern research materials， in order to provide a basis for the development and utilization of famous classical formulas containing this medicinal herb. The research results indicate that Picrorhizae Rhizoma was first recorded in New Revised Materia Medica from the Tang dynasty. Throughout history， Huhuanglian has been used as its official name， and there are also aliases such as Gehu Luze， Jiahuanglian and Hulian. The main source of past dynasties is the the rhizomes of Picrorhiza kurrooa and P. scrophulariiflora. In ancient times， Picrorhizae Rhizoma was mainly imported by foreign traders via Guangzhou and other regions， and also produced in China， mainly in Xizang. In ancient times， it was harvested and dried in early August of the lunar calendar， while in modern times， it is mostly harvested from July to September， with the best quality being those with thick and crispy rhizomes without impurities， and bitter taste. Throughout history， Picrorhizae Rhizoma was collected， washed， sliced， and dried before being used as a raw material for medicine， it has a bitter and cold taste， mainly used to treat bone steaming， hot flashes， infantile chancre fever， and dysentery. There is no significant difference in taste and efficacy between ancient and modern times. Based on the research results， it is recommended that the rhizomes of P. scrophulariiflora in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia， or the rhizomes of P. kurrooa， can be used in famous classical formulas containing this medicinal herb， which can be processed according to the processing requirements marked by the original formula. For those without clear processing requirements， the dried raw products are used as medicine.

Objective To conduct bibliometric visualization analyses of the literature domestic and overseas on active surveillance of post-marketing safety of drugs,aiming to display the current status and trend of hotspots in this field and to provide references for future research and the improvement of the Chinese management system of active surveillance.Methods The English and Chinese literature on active surveillance of post-marketing safety of drugs were searched in Web of Science and CNKI respectively and imported into CiteSpace 6.3.R2 software for the analysis of the number of publications,authors,institutions,and national cooperative networks,and the analysis of keyword co-occurrence,clustering and emergence.Results 415 Chinese and 676 English literature were included,with an overall increasing trend in annual publication volume.The author collaboration network of Chinese literature was smaller than that of English literature,and the partnership network was sparse,with no strong centralized institution.Domestic drug regulatory agencies played an important role in the field,while drug companies'monitoring research on their own products was still relatively scarce.The research topic covered active surveillance systems,technical method research,and drug safety active surveillance practice research for specific drugs and diseases.Conclusion Countries worldwide have widely considered active surveillance of post-marketing drug safety.The heat of research activities in China has shown a significant growth trend.However,there is still a significant gap compared with the international frontiers.Further cooperation needs to be strengthened to promote the improvement of the active surveillance management system in China.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of intraoperative slide rail CT combined with C-arm X-ray assis-tance and just C-arm for percutaneous screw in the treatment of pelvic posterior ring injury.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the patient data of 76 patients with posterior pelvic ring injury admitted to the Department of Orthopedic Trauma from December 2018 to February 2022.Among them,39 patients in the CT group were treated with C-arm combined with slide rail CT-assisted inline fixation including 23 males and 16 females with an average age of(44.98±7.33)years old;and the other 37 patients in the C-arm group were treated with intraline fixation treatment under only C-arm fluoroscopy in-cluding 24 males and 13 females with an average age of(44.37±10.82)years old.Among them,42 patients with anterior ring fractures were treated with percutaneous inferior iliac spines with internal fixation(INFIX)or suprapubic support screws to fix the anterior pelvic ring.Postoperative follow-up time,operation time,complications of the two groups were compared.Results of Matta reduction criteria,Majed efficacy evaluation,the CT grading and the rate of secondary surgical revision were com-pared.Results The nailing time of(32.63±7.33)min in CT group was shorter than that of(52.95±10.64)min in C-arm group(t=-9.739,P＜0.05).The follow-up time between CT group(11.97±1.86)months and C-arm group(12.03±1.71)months were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).The postoperative complication rates between two groups were not statistically significant(x2=0.159,P＞0.05).Results of Matta reduction criteria(Z=2.79,P＜0.05),Majeed efficacy evaluation(Z=2.79,P＜0.05),CT grading(Z=2.83,P＜0.05)in CT group were better than those in C-arm group(P＜0.05);the secondary surgical revision rate in the CT group was significantly lower than that in the C-arm group(x2=5.641,P＜0.05).Conclusion Compared with traditional C-arm fluoroscopy,intraoperative slide rail CT combined with C-arm assisted percutaneous sacroiliac joint screw placement surgery has the characteristics of short operation time,high accuracy and safety,and significant decrease in postoperative sec-ondary revision rate,and is one of the effective methods for re-establishing the stability of the posterior ring of pelvic fracture.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy and safety of low-dose azacitidine in the treatment of senile myelodys-plastic syndromes(MDS).Methods:A total of 92 elderly MDS patients who were initially diagnosed in the Huaibei Miners General Hospital and the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2018 to June 2022 were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 46 patients in each group.The observation group received a low dose of azacitidine 100 mg/d,dl-7,28 days as a course of treatment,6 courses in total,and the control group received a standard dose of azacitidine 75 mg(m2·d),d1-7,28 days as a course of treatment,a total of 6 courses of treatment.The clinical efficacy,overall survival(OS)and adverse reactions of the two groups of patients were observed.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the clinical data between the two groups(P＞0.05).After treatment,the hemoglobin and platelet levels of the two groups of patients were significantly higher than before treatment in each group(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in leukocyte,hemoglobin and platelet levels between patients in the observation group and control group(P＞0.05).The number of cases with complete remission,partial remission,hematological remission,disease stabilization and disease progression in the observation group were 4,10,22,6 and 4,respectively,with a total effective rate of 78.26％.The numbers of cases with complete remission,partial remission,hematological remission,disease stabilization and disease progression in control group were 8,12,18,4 and 4,respectively,with a total effective rate of 82.61％.The total effective rate of patients in the observation group was slightly lower than that of the control group(x2=0.457,P=0.254).There was no significant difference between the two treatment schemes in the treatment of patients with blood transfusion dependence and patients with low risk,medium risk and high risk(P＞0.05).It takes 4 and 6 courses of treatment to achieve the best treatment response in the control group and observation group respectively.There was no significant difference in OS between the two groups(P＞0.05).In the observation group,there were 4,6 and 2 cases of infection,Ⅲ-Ⅳ degree myelosuppression and gastrointestinal reaction,respectively,with the incidence rate of adverse events being 26.09％.In the control group,there were 6,16 and 6 cases of infection,Ⅲ-Ⅳ degree myelosuppression and gastrointestinal reaction,respectively,with the adverse event rate was 60.87％.The incidence of adverse events in the control group was significantly higher than that in the observation group(x2=7.095,P=0.036).Conclusion:Elderly patients with MDS have poor tolerance to chemotherapy.Reducing azacitidine in the treatment of elderly MDS patients shows good efficacy and safety.

Objective:To explore the therapeutic efficacy and prognostic factors of induction therapy for secondary central nervous system lymphoma(SCNSL).Methods:Clinical data of patients diagnosed with SCNSL from 2010 to 2021 at Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital were retrospectively collected.A retrospective cohort study was performed on all and grouped patients to analyze the efficacy and survival.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to explore the adverse prognostic factors.Results:Thirty-seven diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients with secondary central involvement were included in the research.Their 2-year overall survival(OS)rate was 46.01％and median survival time was 18.1 months.The 2-year OS rates of HD-MTX group and TMZ group were 34.3％and 61％,median survival time were 8.7 and 38.3 months,and median progression-free survival time were 8.1 and 47 months,respectively.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age,sex,IPI,Ann Arbor stage were correlated with patient survival time.The median survival time of patients with CD79B,KMT2D,CXCR4.ERBB2,TBL1XR1,BTG2,MYC,MYD88,and PIM1 mutations was 8.2 months,which was lower than the overall level.Conclusion:HD-MTX combined with TMZ as the first-line strategy may improve patient prognosis,and early application of gene sequencing is beneficial for evaluating prognosis.

Objectives:Present study analyzed the efficacy and safety of percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)using the distal transradial access(dTRA)for patients with complex coronary lesions. Methods:A total of 10 033 patients with complex coronary artery lesions(type B2 and type C lesions)who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)via dTRA or conventional transradial access(TRA)at Fuwai Hospital between June 2021 and May 2022 were included(9 625 patients in the TRA group and 408 patients in the dTRA group).After propensity score matching,391 patients were included in each group.Baseline data,PCI intraoperative data(including lesion characteristics,intervention success rate,etc.),and incidence of major bleeding related to the access were compared between the two groups before and after propensity score matching. Results:Before propensity score matching,the proportions of patients with hypertension,hyperlipidemia,family history of coronary heart disease,history of myocardial infarction,and history of coronary artery bypass grafting were significantly higher in the dTRA group than in the TRA group(all P<0.05).After propensity score matching,the baseline data of the two groups were similar(all P>0.05).Before propensity score matching,compared with the TRA group,patients in the dTRA group had a higher proportion of patients with type B2 lesions,while the proportions of patients with type C lesions and those using intravascular ultrasound(IVUS)were lower(all P<0.05).The proportion of patients with chronic complete occlusion was similar between the two groups(P>0.05).After propensity score matching,compared with the TRA group,patients in the dTRA group had a lower proportion using IVUS and had a higher percent of stent implantation(both P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of SYNTAX score,guide catheter size,target lesion distribution,proportion of patients using intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation,success rate of intervention procedures,and incidence of major bleeding events related to the access(all P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with the conventional TRA,interventional treatment of complex lesions through dTRA is equally safe and effective for patients with complex coronary lesions.

Objective To investigate the expression changes in serum brain natriuretic peptide(BNP)and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)in ventricular remodeling in elderly hypertensive patients with heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction(HFmrEF).Methods A total of 288 elderly hypertensive patients admitted to our department from January 2022 to January 2024 were enrolled,and then divided into heart failure with preserved ejection fraction(HFpEF)group(88 cases),HFmrEF group(54 cases),heart failure with reduced ejection fraction(HFrEF)group(62 cases),and control group(simple hypertension,84 cases).The BNP and NT-proBNP levels and ventricular remodeling indicators were compared among all groups.Ventricular remodeling indicators included left ventricular posterior wall thickness(LVPWT),interventricular septum thickness(IVST),left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD),maximum mitral flow velocity in early left ventricular diastolic period(E)/maximum mitral flow velocity in late left ventricular diastolic period(A),left ventricle mass index(LVMI)and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF).Results Significant differences were observed in the LVPWT,IVST,LVEF,LVEDD,E/A,LVMI,BNP and NT-proBNP levels among above four groups(P＜0.01).The LVPWT,IVST,LVEDD,LVMI,BNP and NT-proBNP levels were obvi-ously higher,and LVEF and E/A were notably lower in the HFpEF,HFmrEF and HFrEF groups than the control group(P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that BNP and NT-proBNP were risk factors for ventricular remodeling in patients with hypertension combined with HFmrEF(P＜0.01).Spearman correlation analysis indicated that BNP and NT-proBNP levels were positively correlated with LVPWT,IVST,LVEDD and LVMI(r=0.387,P=0.001,r=0.523,P=0.001,r=0.417,P=0.001,r=0.364,P=0.001;r=0.421,P=0.001,r=0.603,P=0.001,r=0.316,P=0.000,r=0.286,P=0.001),but negatively with LVEF and E/A(r=-0.437,P=0.001,r=-0.624,P=0.001;r=-0.687,P=0.001,r=-0.592,P=0.001).ROC curve analysis revealed that the AUC value of BNP and NT-proBNP levels in predicting ventricu-lar remodeling in patients with hypertension combined with HFmrEF was 0.906 and 0.881(P＜0.01),their best cut-off value was 1205.07 and 2016.13 ng/L,the sensitivity was 96.8％and 90.3％,and the specificity was 92.3％and 87.0％,respectively.Conclusion Abnormal levels of BNP and NT-proBNP are associated with ventricular remodeling in elderly patients with hyper-tension combined with HFmrEF,and they can be used as biomarkers for the diagnosis of ventric-ular remodeling in the patients.

Objective:To investigate the effects of visualized precision electrophysiological diagnosis and transcutaneous low-frequency electrical stimulation(TES)on hypoxia-induced ED in high-altitude areas.Methods:This study included 152 ED pa-tients from high-altitude hypoxic areas treated by TES based on the parameters obtained from visualized precision electrophysiological diagnosis.We followed up the patients for 1 to 3 months and compared their ⅡEF-5 scores,nocturnal penile tumescence and rigidity(NPTR)and infrared thermal metabolic technology(TMT)-based temperature of the whole body and diseased parts before and after treatment.Results:All the patients successfully completed 1 to 3 courses of TES.There were no statistically significant differences in the ⅡEF-5 scores(P＜0.05)and penile tip optimal erection rigidity and duration(P＜0.01)of the patients before and after treat-ment.TMT images indicated a temperature change of＞1.5 ℃ in the penis and bilateral inguinal regions after treatment,suggesting the effectiveness of electrical stimulation.No recurrence was observed during the follow-up.Conclusion:TES based on the parame-ters obtained from visualized precision electrophysiological diagnosis has a definite effect on hypoxia-induced ED by enhancing oxygen supply to the penile corpus cavernosum and improving its function and structure.

Objective:To explore the risk factors for duodenal papillary adenocarcinoma by comparing the differences in clinical and endoscopic features between patients with duodenal papillary adenomas and adenocarcinomas.Methods:This study retrospectively included patients diagnosed as having duodenal papillary adenocarcinoma and adenoma from January 1st 2018 to June 1st 2023 at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School. Demographic, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, imaging, endoscopic and pathological characteristics of patients with adenomas and adenocarcinomas were collected and compared. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was employed to identify high-risk factors for duodenal papillary adenocarcinoma.Results:A total of 119 cases of adenocarcinoma and 171 cases of adenoma were included. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of patient age, body mass index (BMI), clinical symptoms, family history of malignant tumors, bile duct dilation, pancreatic duct dilation, lesion size, adenoma site classification, stage assessed by EUS, and involvement of the bile and pancreatic ducts ( P<0.05). Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed that non-ampullary lesions, involvement not limited to the major duodenal papilla assessed by EUS, involvement of the bile and pancreatic ducts assessed by EUS, age ≥60 years, lesion size ≥1.5 cm, clinical symptoms, family history of malignant tumors, bile duct dilation, and pancreatic duct dilation were risk factors for duodenal papillary adenocarcinoma. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that non-ampullary lesions ( OR=7.00, 95% CI:1.44-34.15, P=0.016), involvement not limited to the major duodenal papilla assessed by EUS ( OR=13.77, 95% CI: 4.69-40.45, P<0.001), age ≥60 years ( OR=2.52, 95% CI: 1.23-5.18, P=0.011), bile duct dilation ( OR=2.58, 95% CI: 1.12-5.94, P=0.026), and lesion size ≥1.5 cm ( OR=2.76, 95% CI:1.36-5.59, P=0.005) were independent risk factors for duodenal papillary adenocarcinoma. Conclusion:This study shows the independent risk factors for duodenal papillary adenocarcinoma, which include non-ampullary lesions, involvement not limited to the major duodenal papilla assessed by EUS, age ≥60 years, bile duct dilation, and lesion size ≥1.5 cm.
