Objective:To understand the incidence of diabetes and influencing factors, the trend of FPG change and risk for mortality in HIV-infected individuals after antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture (Dehong).Methods:The HIV/AIDS treatment database was collected from China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention. This retrospective cohort study was conducted in HIV-infected individuals with access to ART in Dehong during 2004-2020.The Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to analyze the incidence density of diabetes, the influencing factors and risk for mortality in HIV-infected individuals with access to ART, mixed linear effects model was used to analyze the trend of FPG change and predict FPG in those with different glucose metabolic status at baseline survey. Statistical analysis was performed using software SAS 9.4.Results:A total of 8 763 HIV-infected individuals were included, in whom 8 432 (96.2%) had no diabetes, 331 had diabetes. The incidence density of diabetes was 2.31/1 000 person years. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis revealed that 30- 59 years old, BMI ≥24.0 kg/m 2, Efavirenz (EFV) based initial treatment regimen and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) at baseline survey were significantly and positively associated with incidence of diabetes. Mixed effect model revealed that FPG was positively correlated with the duration of ART, age and baseline FPG. Suffering from diabetes was a risk factor for mortality in HIV-infected individuals both at baseline survey and during follow-up. Conclusions:The risk for diabetes increased in HIV-infected individuals who were 30-59 years old, baseline BMI ≥24.0 kg/m 2, received EFV based initial treatment, and IFG in HIV-infected individuals after antiretroviral therapy in Dehong, 2004-2020. It is important to pay close attention to their blood glucose, and patients with high blood glucose should receive treatment as early as possible.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of hypomethylating agents (HMA) in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) .Methods:A total of 409 MDS patients from 45 hospitals in Zhejiang province who received at least four consecutive cycles of HMA monotherapy as initial therapy were enrolled to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HMA. Mann-Whitney U or Chi-square tests were used to compare the differences in the clinical data. Logistic regression and Cox regression were used to analyze the factors affecting efficacy and survival. Kaplan-Meier was used for survival analysis. Results:Patients received HMA treatment for a median of 6 cycles (range, 4-25 cycles) . The complete remission (CR) rate was 33.98% and the overall response rate (ORR) was 77.02%. Multivariate analysis revealed that complex karyotype ( P=0.02, OR=0.39, 95% CI 0.18-0.84) was an independent favorable factor for CR rate. TP53 mutation ( P=0.02, OR=0.22, 95% CI 0.06-0.77) was a predictive factor for a higher ORR. The median OS for the HMA-treated patients was 25.67 (95% CI 21.14-30.19) months. HMA response ( P=0.036, HR=0.47, 95% CI 0.23-0.95) was an independent favorable prognostic factor, whereas complex karyotype ( P=0.024, HR=2.14, 95% CI 1.10-4.15) , leukemia transformation ( P<0.001, HR=2.839, 95% CI 1.64-4.92) , and TP53 mutation ( P=0.012, HR=2.19, 95% CI 1.19-4.07) were independent adverse prognostic factors. There was no significant difference in efficacy and survival between the reduced and standard doses of HMA. The CR rate and ORR of MDS patients treated with decitabine and azacitidine were not significantly different. The median OS of patients treated with decitabine was longer compared with that of patients treated with azacitidine (29.53 months vs 20.17 months, P=0.007) . The incidence of bone marrow suppression and pneumonia in the decitabine group was higher compared with that in the azacitidine group. Conclusion:Continuous and regular use of appropriate doses of hypomethylating agents may benefit MDS patients to the greatest extent if it is tolerated.

Objective:To explore the changing trends and influencing factors of AIDS-related and non-AIDS-related deaths after receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) among HIV-positive individuals in Dehong Dai Jingpo autonomous prefecture (Dehong) from 2010 to 2019.Methods:Based on the Chinese National treatment database, HIV patients who initiated ART from 2010 to 2019 were included in the analysis. The cumulative incidence function was used to estimate the cumulative incidence of AIDS-related death and non-AIDS-related death, respectively. The Fine-Grey model was used to compare the differences between AIDS-related and non-AIDS-related deaths and analyze its influencing factors.Results:A total of 7 068 HIV-positive individuals were included, of which 388 were AIDS-related deaths and 570 were non-AIDS-related deaths. The cumulative mortality rate at years 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 9 after receiving ART were 2.27%, 3.46%, 4.47%, 5.03%, 5.84%, 6.61%, 7.40% for AIDS-related deaths, and 1.63%, 3.11%, 4.68%, 6.02%, 7.42%, 10.49%, 12.75% for non-AIDS-related deaths, respectively. In the Fine-Grey model, older age at ART initiation, male, unmarried, injection drug use as the transmission route, lower baseline BMI, lower baseline CD4 + T cell counts, baseline FIB-4 score >3.25, and baseline anemia were risk factors for AIDS-related death. In contrast, age at ART initiation ≥45 years, male, Dai, and Jingpo minority ethnicities, unmarried, injection drug use as the transmission route, lower baseline BMI, baseline FIB-4 score >3.25, baseline eGFR <60 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2, and baseline anemia were risk factors for non-AIDS-related deaths. Conclusions:The cumulative mortality rate was low among HIV-positive individuals after receiving ART in Dehong during 2010-2019. The mortality of non-AIDS-related deaths was higher than that of AIDS-related deaths. There were also differences in the factors influencing AIDS-related and non-AIDS-related deaths and interventions should be intensified to target the influencing factors for non-AIDS-related deaths.

Objective:To investigate the incidence of anemia and risk factors in HIV/AIDS patients with access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) during 2004-2018 in Dehong Jingpo and Dai Autonomous Prefecture (Dehong).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted in HIV/AIDS patients receiving ART in Dehong during 2004-2018 based on the data extracted from the National HIV/AIDS antiretroviral therapy database. Cox proportional risk model was used to analyze the factors associated with the incidences of anemia and moderate or severe anemia in the HIV/AIDS patients. And the piecewise linear mixed-effects model was used to depict the trajectory of hemoglobin changes over time after initiating ART according to baseline level.Results:A total of 8 044 HIV/AIDS patients were included, in whom 6 337 (78.8%) were without anemia at baseline survey and had a median follow up time of 4.43 ( P 25, P 75: 1.50, 6.71) years. The median follow up time for 1 291 new anemia cases and 293 new moderate or severe anemia cases was 0.16 ( P 25, P 75: 0.07, 1.99) years and 0.48 ( P 25, P 75:0.09, 2.97) years, respectively. The incidence rate of anemia and moderate or severe anemia was 4.40 per 100 person-years and 0.41 per 100 person-years respectively. In multivariable Cox regression analysis, older age, being female, being in Dai and Jingpo ethnic group, baseline BMI <18.5 kg/m 2, baseline CD4 +T lymphocyte cell counts (CD4) <200 cells/μl, and zidovudine (AZT) -based initial treatment regimen were factors significantly and positively associated with incidence of anemia after treatment. Factors as being female, being in Dai ethnic group, baseline BMI <18.5 kg/m 2, mild baseline anemia, and AZT-based initial treatment regimen were significantly and positively associated with incidence of moderate or severe anemia after treatment. Conclusion:The risk for anemia was higher in HIV/AIDS patients with specific characteristics, such as age ≥60 years , being female, being in Dai and Jingpo ethnic groups, lower BMI, CD4 <200 cells/μl, and treatment of AZT, after initiation of ART in Dehong during 2004-2018. Additional efforts are needed to strengthen the screening, prevention and treatment of anemia in this population.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in patients with minor stroke with large vessel occlusion (LVO).Methods:Twenty-three patients with minor stroke with LVO, admitted to our hospital from January 2017 to July 2019, were consecutively collected in our study; patients with contraindications of intravenous thrombolysis should be treated with direct thrombectomy, and the left were given bridging therapy (intravenous thrombolysis combined with MT). NIHSS scores were used to assess the degrees of neurological impairment at admission, and 12 h and 7 d after treatment. Vascular recanalization was assessed by modified cerebral infarction thrombolysis (mTICI) grading, with grading 2B-3 defined as successful recanalization. The prognoses 90 d after treatment were assessed by modified Rankin scale (mRS), and mRS scores≤2 was classified as having good prognosis. Safety indicators included symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, incidence of complications, and mortality 90 d after treatment.Results:Twenty-two patients had successfully recanalization; 19 patients had mTICI grading 3 and 3 patients had grading 2B. The NIHSS scores were 3 (2, 5) at admission, 2 (2, 3) 12 h after treatment, and 2 (1, 2) 7 d after treatment, with significant difference ( χ2=14.028, P=0.001); NIHSS scores 12 h and 7 d after treatment were significantly lower than those at admission ( P<0.05). Sixteen patients (69.6%) enjoyed good prognosis and 7 patients (30.4%) had poor prognosis. In terms of safety, two patients had symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage,10 had systemic complications, and one died during 90-d of follow-up. Conclusion:MT is effective and safe in minor stroke patients with LVO.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of bridging therapy (BT) and direct endovascular therapy (DEVT) in patients with acute ischemic stroke induced by large vessel occlusion (LVO-AIS) within 4.5 h of onset.Methods:The clinical data of 154 patients with LVO-AIS within 4.5 h of onset, admitted to our hospital from January 2017 to July 2019, were retrospectively collected. Among them, 88 patients were hospitalized within 3 h of onset (54 accepted BT and 34 accepted DEVT); 66 patients were hospitalized within 3-4.5 h of onset (39 accepted BT and 27 accepted DEVT). The differences in clinical data and treatment efficacy between patients from the BT group and DEVT group that were hospitalized within 3 h of onset and within 3-4.5 h of onset, respectively, were compared. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent protective factors for favorable outcome 90 d after treatment in patients within 3.0-4.5 h of onset and within 3 h of onset, respectively.Results:(1) In patients within 3 h of onset: as compared with the DEVT group, the BT group had significantly higher improvement rate of neurological function at 24 h after treatment (41.2% vs. 70.4%) and higher percentage of patients enjoying favorable outcome 90 d after treatment (44.1% vs. 66.7%, P<0.05); multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that BT was an independent protective factor for favorable outcome 90 d after treatment in patients within 3 h of onset ( OR=4.644, 95%CI: 1.238-12.805, P=0.041). (2) In patients within 3-4.5 h of onset: as compared with the BT group, the DEVT group had significantly higher proportion of patients having time from onset to groin puncture≤4 h, and significantly higher proportion of patients with favorable outcome 90 d after treatment ( P<0.05); multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the time from onset to groin puncture≤4 h was an independent protective factor for favorable outcome 90 d after treatment in patients within 3-4.5 h of onset ( OR=5.724, 95%CI: 1.192-11.676, P=0.024). Conclusion:For LVO-AIS patients, BT is the first choice in patients hospitalized in the early time window; and BT should be performed within 4 h of onset to the greatest extent for patients hospitalized in the late time window; if time from onset to groin puncture is not within 4 h, DEVT should be the first choice.

Objective:
To study the prevalence and correlates of diabetes among HIV/AIDS who were on antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Dehong Dai and Jingpo autonomous prefectures (Dehong), Yunnan province.
Methods:
The database of HIV/AIDS receiving ART in Dehong was downloaded by using the basic information system of AIDS prevention and control in China. In this cross-sectional study, HIV/AIDS patients who were currently on ART and aged 18 years or above, were consecutively recruited, between July 2017 and June 2018, in Dehong. All the subjects underwent hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) testing. Patient with diabetes was defined as meeting any of these indicators (HbA1c ≥6.5%, baseline FPG ≥7.0 mmol/L, FPG ≥7.0 mmol/L in the most recent visit). Both univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were carried on to evaluate the correlates of diabetes among the HIV/AIDS patients.
Results:
In total of 4 376 HIV/AIDS patients were included for analysis, with the average age as (43.7±10.1) years, proportion of males as 53.8% (2 356/4 376) and the HCV positive rate as 24.1% (1 055/4 376). The mean years was (8.9±3.8) years after the HIV diagnosis was made, and the mean duration on treatment was (6.8±2.9) years. The prevalence of diabetes was 11.4% (500/4 376). Through multivariate logistic regression analysis, data showed that the risk factors of diabetes of HIV/AIDS on ART were: aged 40 years or above, being male, HCV positive, baseline body mass index ≥24.0 kg/m2, elevated TG ≥1.70 mmol/L in the most recent visit and baseline antiretroviral regimens under Efavirenz (EFV).
Conclusions
Prevalence rate of diabetes appeared higher in HIV/AIDS patients who were on ART in Dehong. Prevention and control measures should be targeted on HIV/AIDS patients who were with risk factors of diabetes as being elderly, male, HCV positive, overweight and higher TG. Further esearch is needed to evaluate the association between the use of EFV and diabetes.

ABSTRACT:Objective To observe the influence of saikosaponin-d (SSd)on the proliferation and the function of autophagy of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)cell line SMMC-7721 to explore the possible mechanisms. Methods SMMC-7721 was cultured invitro and then treated with SSd of various concentrations (5.0,7.5,10.0, 12.5,15.0 and 17.5 mg/L)for 24,48 and 72 h.We used MTT to detect cell proliferation,selected the optimal concentration and time,and detected the expressions of BECN1 at mRNA and protein levels by PCR and Western blot.Results The inhibition rate of the proliferation of SMMC-7721 cell line increased with the increase of the concentration of SSd,and the highest inhibition rate (60%)appeared when the concentration reached 12.5 mg/L. The expression of BECN1 in the group with SSd was obviously higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). 3-MA decreased not only the expressions of BECN1 at mRNA and protein levels but also the expression of BECN1 when used in conjunction with SSd.Conclusion The inhibiting function of SSd on SMMC-7721 presents a dependency between drug concentration and function time,basically in line with the drug dose-effect relationship. SSd induces the occurrence of autophagic cell death through up-regulating the expression of BECN1 ,thus inhibiting the proliferation of SMMC-7 7 2 1 .
