Objective:To analyze immune reconstitution and influencing factors in HIV infected men who have sex with men (MSM) with access to antiviral therapy (ART) in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (Guangxi) during 2005-2021.Methods:The data were collected from Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The study subjects were HIV infected MSM with access to the initial ART for ≥24 weeks in Guangxi from 2005 to 2021 and HIV RNA lower than the detection limit within 24 months. The proportion of infected MSM who had immune reconstitution after ART was calculated. Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of immune reconstitution. Software SPSS 24.0 was used for statistical analysis.Results:A total of 3 200 HIV infected MSM were enrolled, in whom 15.56 % (498/3 200) had no immune reconstitution, 14.78% (473/3 200) had moderate immune reconstitution, and the rate of complete immune reconstitution was 69.66% (2 229/3 200). The M ( Q1, Q3) of ART time for immune reconstitution was 12 (5, 27) months. Multivariate Cox proportional risk regression model analysis results showed that compared with those with initial ART at age ≥30 years, WHO clinical stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ illness, baseline BMI <18.50 kg/m 2 and baseline CD4 +T lymphocyte (CD4) counts <200 cells/μl, HIV infected MSM with initial ART at age <30 years, WHO clinical stageⅠ/Ⅱ illness, baseline BMI≥24.00 kg/m 2 and baseline CD4 counts ≥200 cells/μl were more likely to have complete immune reconstitution. Conclusions:In the HIV infected MSM in Guangxi, failures to achieve moderate and complete immune reconstitution were observed. Surveillance and ART regimen should be improved for key populations, such as those with older age and low baseline CD4 counts.

Pyroptosis is a programmed death of inflammatory cells triggered by pathogen invasion,dependent on caspase activation,through both classical and non-classical pyroptosis pathways.Cell pyroptosis is related to the occurrence and development of a variety of animal infectious diseases caused by microbial infection.After microorganisms invading,cells are stimulated by pathology-re-lated molecular patterns,causing strong immune response,stimulating inflammatory signaling pathways,and then activating inflammasome,leading to pyroptosis.The immune system has e-volved multiple mechanisms to fight microbial infections and regulate inflammatory responses.The innate immune system,by recognizing microbial molecules in pathogens and responding quickly by producing inflammasome and activating pyroptosis,helps clear pathogens to prevent infection and maintain the normal functioning of the body.A thorough study of the pathogenesis and immune es-cape mechanism of cell pyroptosis in animal infectious diseases will provide a new direction for the treatment of animal infectious diseases.

BackgroundPatients with schizophrenia are at high risk of suffering from metabolic syndrome. Most previous studies on the influencing factors of metabolic syndrome focused on the inpatients and limited ones on patients dwelling in community. ObjectiveTo explore the influencing factors at different risk levels of metabolic syndrome in community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia in Guangzhou, so as to provide references for future interventions on metabolic syndrome in this patient population. MethodsIn November 2021, 3 339 patients with schizophrenia who were registered in and administered by Guangzhou Mental Health Information System were included. All these patients had finished the physical examination in 2020, and whether they had metabolic syndrome was assessed basing on Guideline for the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in China (2020 edition). Patients were divided into high-risk group (n=423), critical group (n=1 524) and metabolic syndrome group (n=1 392) according to the Chinese expert consensus on the management of metabolic syndrome in patients with schizophrenia. Multiple logistic regression analysis were performed on the risk factors of metabolic syndrome in community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia. ResultsThe prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome in community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia was 41.69%. Univariate analysis showed that the results in gender (χ2=44.610), age (χ2=55.992), marriage status (χ2=30.755), illness course (χ2=25.913) and body mass index (χ2=829.265) were significantly different among the three groups (P<0.01). Kruskal-Wallis H test showed that the levels of waist circumference (H=920.331), systolic blood pressure (H=436.673), diastolic blood pressure (H=393.337), fasting blood glucose (H=807.304), triglyceride (H=1 134.125) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (H=593.615) among the three groups were significantly different (P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥50 (OR=1.761, 95% CI: 1.087~2.853), overweight (OR=2.418, 95% CI: 1.862~3.140) and obesity (OR=57.903, 95% CI: 14.340~233.802) were risk factors contributing to high-risk patients becoming critical population (P<0.05 or 0.01). Female gender (OR=1.295, 95% CI: 1.034~1.622), aged 40~49 (OR=2.597, 95% CI: 1.582~4.263), age ≥50 (OR=4.392, 95% CI: 2.609~7.395), overweight (OR=7.844, 95% CI: 6.018~10.223) and obesity (OR=426.785, 95% CI: 105.724~1 722.839) were risk factors for high-risk patients developing into metabolic syndrome population (P<0.05 or 0.01). ConclusionThe prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome is higher in community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia. Female gender, older age, overweight and obesity would increase the risk of metabolic syndrome in schizophrenic patients.

Objective:To investigate the etiology, clinical features and treatment of familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) secondary glaucoma.Methods:A retrospective clinical study. From January 1, 2016 to January 1, 2022, 15 patients (17 eyes) were diagnosed with FEVR secondary glaucoma in Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University were included in the study. All patients underwent systematic ophthalmological evaluation. According to the patient's age, visual acuity, intraocular pressure, anterior segment, vitreous body and retina condition, the choice of translimbal lensectomy combined with vitrectomy, goniectomy, cyclophotocoagulation, intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment were chosen. The follow-up time was 3 to 37 months. The clinical characteristics of the affected eye, and the changes of intraocular pressure, anterior chamber depth and complications after surgery were observed.Results:Among the 15 patients, there were 11 males with 13 eyes, and 4 females with 4 eyes. Age was 6.14±7.37 years old. FEVR stages 2B, 3B, 4A, 4B, 5A, and 5B were 1, 1, 5, 6, 3, and 1 eye, respectively. The intraocular pressure of the affected eye was 42.74±9.06 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa). All eyes had shallow anterior chamber and angle closure, anterior or posterior iris adhesions, lens opacity, retinal detachment, iris neovascularization in 4 eyes, and vitreous hemorrhage in 2 eyes. Sixteen eyes were treated with translimbal lensectomy combined with vitrectomy and goniotomy, of which 8 eyes were treated with anti-VEGF treatment; 1 eye was treated with cyclophotocoagulation combined with anti-VEGF treatment. After operation, the intraocular pressure of 16 eyes returned to normal range, and the depth of anterior chamber of 16 eyes returned to normal, and no obvious complications occurred.Conclusions:The main etiology of secondary glaucoma in FEVR is the structural and functional abnormalities of the anterior chamber and angle, which are found in the 2B and above stages of FEVR. The lensectomy and vitrectomy via limbal approach can effectively control the intraocular pressure and restore the anterior chamber, with no serious complications.

Objective:To review the outcome of intravitreous anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment in patients with X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) complicated with vitreous hemorrhage (VH).Methods:A retrospective clinical study. From March 1, 2016 to April 1, 2022, 18 patients (19 eyes) diagnosed with XLRS complicated with vitreous hemorrhage in Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University of Eye Center were included. All the patients were male, with a median age of 7.05±3.8 years. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and wide-angle fundus photography were performed in all the patients. BCVA was carried out using international standard visual acuity chart, and converted into logarithm of minimum resolution angle (logMAR) in statistics analysis. According to whether the patients received intravitreal injection of ranibizumab (IVR), the patients were divided into injection group and observation group, with 11 eyes in 10 cases and 8 eyes in 8 cases, respectively. In the injection group, 0.025 ml of 10 mg/ml ranibizumab (including 0.25 mg of ranibizumab) was injected into the vitreous cavity of the affected eye. Follow-up time after treatment was 24.82±20.77 months. The VH absorption time, visual acuity changes and complications were observed in the injection group after treatment. Paired sample t test was used to compare BCVA before and after VH and IVR treatment. Independent sample t test was used to compare the VH absorption time between the injection group and the observation group. Results:LogMAR BCVA before and after VH were 0.73±0.32 and 1.80±0.77, respectively. BCVA decreased significantly after VH ( t=-3.620, P=0.006). LogMAR BCVA after VH and IVR were 1.87±0.55 and 0.62±0.29, respectively. BCVA was significantly improved after IVR treatment ( t=6.684, P<0.001). BCVA records were available in 5 eyes before and after IVR, and the BCVA values after VH and IVR were 0.58±0.31 and 0.48±0.20, respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( t=1.000, P=0.374). BCVA increased in 1 eye and remained unchanged in 4 eyes after treatment. BCVA records were available in 5 eyes before VH and after VH absorption in the 8 eyes of the observation group. LogMAR BCVA before VH and after VH absorption were 0.88±0.28 and 0.90±0.26, respectively, with no significant difference ( t=-1.000, P=0.374). After VH absorption, BCVA remained unchanged in 4 eyes and decreased in 1 eye. The absorption time of VH in the injection group and the observation group were 1.80±1.06 and 7.25±5.04 months, respectively. The absorption time of VH was significantly shorter in the injection group than in the observation group, the difference was statistically significant ( t=-3.005, P=0.018). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that IVR treatment was significantly correlated with VH absorption time ( B=-6.66, 95% confidence interval -10.93--2.39, t=-3.40, P=0.005). In the injection group, VH recurrence occurred in 1 eye after IVR treatment. Vitrectomy (PPV) was performed in one eye. In the 8 eyes of the observation group, VH recurrence occurred in 2 eyes, subsequent PPV in 1 eye. The rate of VH recurrence and PPV was lower in the injection group, however, the difference was not statistically significant( P=0.576, 1.000). In terms of complications, minor subconjunctival hemorrhage occurred in 2 eyes and minor corneal epithelial injury occurred in 1 eye in the injection group, and all recovered spontaneously within a short time. In the injection group, 9 eyes had wide-angle fundus photography before and after IVR treatment. There was no significant change in the range of peripheral retinoschisis after treatment. No obvious proliferative vitreoretinopathy, infectious endophthalmitis, retinal detachment, macular hole, complicated cataract, secondary glaucoma or other serious complications were found in all the treated eyes, and there were no systemic complications. Conclusion:Intravitreous anti-VEGF treatment may accelerate the absorption of vitreous hemorrhage in patients with XLRS. No impact is found regarding to the peripheral retinoschisis.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of 532 nm wavelength laser using indirect ophthalmoscope combined with ranibizumab (IVR) in treating stage 2 and greater pediatric Coats disease.Methods:A retrospective, non-controlled clinical study. From February 2018 to August 2020, 21 eyes of 21 patients with Coats disease stage 2 and greater diagnosed by examination in the Eye Center of Beijing Tongren Hospital were included in the study. Among them, 20 patients were males; 1 patient was female. Mean age was 5.00±1.92 years old. Stage 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, and 4 were 2, 8, 7, 2, and 2 eyes, respectively. All eyes underwent wide-field fundus color photography and fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA). Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was performed in 17 eyes. Abnormal dilated retinal blood vessels, interretinal and subretinal exudates were found in all eyes. Abnormally dilated capillaries and aneurysms in the retina was shown in FFA examination. All eyes underwent 532 nm laser photocoagulation using indirect ophthalmoscope combined with IVR. Patients with severe retinal detachment of stage 3B or greater were treated by external drainage of subretinal fluid (SRF). The subsequent treatment was the same as before. The follow-up time was 35.67±6.13 months. Relevant examinations were performed using the same equipment and methods before. The frequency of treatment, visual acuity changes, anatomic prognosis, and complications were observed.Results:The frequency of eye photocoagulation was 2.43±0.98. The number of IVR treatments was 2.00±0.89. Three eyes were treated with SRF drainage in the first time. At the last follow-up, visual acuity improved, no change, and decreased in 5, 11, and 1 eyes after BCVA examination, respectively. In 21 eyes, the retina was in situ in 17 eyes; 5 eyes with retinal cysts. During the follow-up, cataract and vitreous hyperplasia occurred in 1 eye, which was treated by vitrectomy, and mild vitreous hyperplasia occurred in 1 eye.Conclusion:Indirect ophthalmoscope 532 nm wavelength laser combined with IVR is an effective treatment for pediatric Coats disease.

Objective:To study the long-term effects and outcomes of adjuvant intravitreal injection of conbercept (IVC) therapy in juvenile Coats disease.Methods:A retrospective case series study. From January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2018, 40 patients (40 eyes) who were diagnosed as juvenile Coats disease at Beijing Tongren Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University were included in the study. Among them, there were 37 males (37 eyes) and 3 females (3 eyes). All patients had unilateral Coats disease. The average age was 55.00 (44.75, 81.25) months. Five eyes were in stage 2B, 15 eyes were in stage 3A, 19 eyes were in stage 3B and 1 eye was in stage 4. Idiopathic retinal vascular telangiectasia associated with extensive subretinal fluid (SRF) (stage 3 or above) or massive foveal exudation and edema (stage 2B) were found in fundus examination. All affected eyes underwent wide-field color fundus images and fluorescein fundus angiography. Thirty-one eyes underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) examination. The BCVA was carried out using a standard logarithmic visual acuity chart, which was converted into the logarithmic minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity. All cases received adjuvant IVC combined with treatments such as retinal photocoagulation. The average number of injections was 4 (1, 5). The average follow-up after initial treatment was 59.00 (52.50, 63.00) months. The changes in BCVA, occlusion of abnormal blood vessels in fundus, absorption of SRF and ocular and systemic complications were observed.Results:At last follow-up, among 31 affected eyes with the examination of BCVA, 13 (32.5%, 13/40) eyes had an improved vision, 12 eyes(30.0%, 12/40) had a stable vision and 6 eyes (15.0%, 6/40) had a decreased vision. The difference between average logMAR BCVA of the affected eyes in each stage after treatment and that before treatment was not statistically significant ( Z=-0.56, -1.80, -0.84; P>0.05). Abnormal blood vessels in fundus were all partially or completely occluded, and SRF was obviously or completely absorbed in all cases; of which, 28 eyes (70.0%, 28/40) were completely occluded, and 12 eyes (30.0%, 12/40) were partially occluded. No patient underwent eye enucleation. Nineteen eyes (47.5%, 19/40) developed vitreoretinal fibrosis; 8 eyes (20.0%, 8/40) developed tractional retinal detachment; 15 eyes (37.5%, 15/40) developed complicated cataract. None had ocular or systemic complications related to IVC therapy during follow-up. Conclusions:IVC combined with classic treatments such as photocoagulation in juvenile Coats disease can keep or improve the visual acuity in most juvenile patients by reducing SRF. IVC is a long-term safe and effective adjuvant therapy in juvenile Coats disease.

OBJECTIVE To study the repair effect and mechanism of Zhixu burn ointment on deep second-degree burned model rats. METHODS The deep second-degree burned model was established with a temperature-controlled apparatus. The model rats were randomly divided into model group, Jingwanhong ointment group and Zhixu burn ointment high-dose, medium-dose and low-dose groups (specifications were 20 g core+20 mL wetting agent, 10 g core+20 mL wetting agent, 5 g core+20 mL wetting agent, respectively). Another blank control group (only dehairing treatment, no modeling) was set up, with 10 rats in each group. The rats in each administration group were given corresponding drugs, the rats in the blank control group were not treated, and the rats in the model group were given normal saline once a day for 21 d. The healing of burn wounds and histomorphological changes of burned skin in each group of rats were observed, and the healing rate of wounds was calculated; the levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) in the wound skin tissue of rats were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression levels of VEGF and platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (CD31) protein in burned skin tissue. RESULTS Compared with model group, the wound area of the rats in the Jingwanhong ointment and Zhixu burn ointment groups gradually decreased and healed significantly by day 21, and the wound healing rate was significantly higher (P<0.05 or P<0.01); thicker new epidermal layer was seen in the skin tissue, and connective tissue and new blood vessels were significantly increased in the dermis; the expression levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the expression levels of VEGF and CD31 protein were significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01) in the burned skin tissue. CONCLUSIONS Zhixu burn ointment can repair the skin of deep second-degree burned model rats, and the mechanism may be related to reducing the inflammatory response of burn wound and promoting the angiogenesis.

Objective:To analyze the trend of late-diagnosis of HIV-infected men who have sex with men (MSM) before and after the AIDS Conquering Project in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (Guangxi) and its influencing factors, in order to find out the population groups that need priority intervention at the present stage.Methods:The HIV-infected MSM in Guangxi from 2005-2021 were selected from the National Integrated HIV/AIDS Control and Prevention Data System. The Joinpoint 4.9.1.0 software was used to test the time trend of late-diagnosis and non-late-diagnosis cases, and logistic regression was applied to analyze the factors influencing the proportion of late-diagnosis at each stage.Results:From 2005 to 2021, 5 764 HIV-infected MSM were reported in Guangxi from 2005 to 2021, with an overall late-diagnosis of 28.45% (1 640 cases). Under the 2015 baseline data as the boundary, the proportion of late-diagnosis cases showed a trend of sharp decline followed by stabilization from 2005 to 2015, average annual percent change= -6.90% ( P<0.001). The effect of factors such as resident population, occupation as a farmer or worker, and sample originating from medical consultation on late-diagnosis changed considerably before and after the implementation of the project, and the factors influencing late-diagnosis at this stage were age, resident population, occupation as a farmer, worker or student. The factors influencing late-diagnosis at this stage are age, resident population, and occupation as a farmer, worker and a student. Conclusions:The proportion of late diagnosis cases of HIV-infected MSM in Guangxi decreased significantly before and after the project. However, late-diagnosis should not be neglected and precise prevention and control should be carried out for the resident population, farmers, workers or students.
