Objective: To analyze the infection characteristics of newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Hangzhou City, so as to provide the reference for effective AIDS intervention. Methods: Newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Hangzhou City in 2022 were recruited. Demographic information, HIV testing status, infection routes and sexual behaviors were collected using questionnaire surveys. Blood samples were collected before antiviral treatment, and HIV-1 pol gene sequences were detected to construct molecular transmission networks. The characteristics of HIV/AIDS cases, including infection routes, time, and location were analyzed. Factors affecting infection time and location among HIV/AIDS cases were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 1 007 HIV/AIDS cases were reported in Hangzhou City in 2022, with 907 cases (90.07%) completing questionnaire surveys. Among them, 833 were males (91.84%), and 532 had out-of-province household registrations (58.65%). Ninety-one molecular transmission networks were established, and 276 cases were involved, with homosexual contact as the main infection route (199 cases, 72.10%). There were 311 recently infected cases (35.34%) and 569 previously infected cases (64.66%) among 880 cases whose infection time could be determined. There were 531 locally infected. cases (70.24%) and 225 imported cases (29.76%) among 756 cases whose infection location could be determined. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the HIV/AIDS cases who were identified through voluntary counseling and testing (OR=1.826, 95%CI: 1.055-3.175) and sought sexual partners through homosexual dating apps (OR=2.461, 95%CI: 1.193-5.234) were more likely to be recently infected; the cases who lived in Hangzhou City for more than one year (>1 to 5 years, OR=2.853, 95%CI: 1.552-5.358; >5 years, OR=3.534, 95%CI: 1.382-9.804), sought sexual partners through entertainment venues (OR=3.449, 95%CI: 1.390-8.935), online/social apps (OR=2.416, 95%CI: 1.084-5.488) and homosexual dating apps (OR=3.734, 95%CI: 1.677-8.493) were more likely to be locally infected; student cases were more likely to be infected outside Hangzhou City (OR=0.115, 95%CI: 0.019-0.525). Conclusions The newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Hangzhou City in 2022 were primarily infected through homosexual contact, previously and locally. Seeking sexual partners through homosexual dating apps is an important influencing factor for recent and local infections, highlighting the need for strengthening traceback investigations of related cases.

Objective: To investigate the immune reconstitution of HIV/AIDS patients and its influencing factors after receiving antiviral therapy (ART) in Hangzhou City, so as to provide insights into improving the treatment effects and quality of life in HIV/AIDS patients. Methods: A retrospective cohort of HIV/AIDS patients who began antiviral treatment between January 1, 2016 and August 31, 2021 and had a baseline CD4+T lymphocyte (CD4) counts of less than 500 cells/μL or a baseline CD4/CD8+T lymphocyte (CD8) ratio of less than 0.8 in Hangzhou City was followed up until August 31, 2023. Demographic information, antiviral therapy in formation, CD4 counts, and CD4/CD8 were collected from the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. A good immune reconstitution was defined as having CD4≥500 cells/μL and CD4/CD8≥0.8. The immune reconstitution status of HIV/AIDS patients were analyzed, and factors affecting immune reconstitution were identified using a multivariable Cox proportional risk regression model. Results: A total of 3 349 HIV/AIDS patients were enrolled, with a median age at ART of 31 (interquartile range, 20) years. There were 3 075 males (91.82%), 1 600 cases with college education and above (47.78%) and 2 455 cases at WHO clinical stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ(73.31%). There were 1 368 cases with good immune reconstitution, accounting for 40.85%, and the proportion of HIV/AIDS patients with good immune reconstitution that began ART in 2016 was the highest, reaching 51.90%. Multivariable Cox proportional risk regression model identified WHO clinical stage (Ⅰ-Ⅱ, HR=2.529, 95%CI: 2.023-3.162), timely ART (HR=1.196, 95%CI: 1.027-1.394), initial treatment regimen (TDF+3TC+NVP/EFV, HR=2.185, 95%CI: 1.891-2.524; integrase inhibitors, HR=8.509, 95%CI: 6.706-10.795), baseline CD4/CD8 (≥0.1, HR: 1.600-4.515, 95%CI: 1.061-6.661), baseline hemoglobin (<90 mg/dL, HR=0.327, 95%CI: 0.121-0.880), hepatitis B infection (HR=0.619, 95%CI: 0.457-0.840) and hepatitis C infection (HR=0.308, 95%CI: 0.099-0.956) as factors affecting immune reconstitution in HIV/AIDS patients. Conclusion The immune reconstitution in HIV/AIDS patients after ART is associated with WHO clinical stage, timely ART, initial treatment regimen, baseline CD4/CD8, baseline hemoglobin and hepatitis B or C infection.

Objective To analyze the blindness and visual impairment attributed to myopic maculopathy in highly myopic patients based on the ATN classification system,as well as associated risk factors.Methods In this retrospective case-control study,clinical data of 642 adult patients(642 eyes)with high myopia admitted to the Department of Fundus Disease,Chengdu Bright Eye Hospital from January 2022 to September 2023 were collected and analyzed.Comprehensive ophthalmic examinations were conducted for all patients.Myopic maculopathy in patients with high myopia was diagnosed and graded according to the ATN classification system.The patients were divided into the blindness or visual impairment group and the non or mild visual impairment group based on the WHO diagnostic criteria for blindness and visual impair-ment.Multivariate Logistic regression was utilized to analyze the risk factors for blindness or visual impairment in patients with high myopia.Results Among the 642 eyes,myopic maculopathy was identified in 355 eyes(55.30％).Of these,there were 330 eyes(51.40％)with myopic atrophy maculopathy(A2 and above),137 eyes(21.34％)with myopic trac-tion maculopathy,and 82 eyes(12.77％)with myopic neovascular maculopathy.The percentages of blindness and visual impairment were 2.02％(95％CI:0.93％-3.11％)and 8.41％(95％CI:6.26％-10.56％),respectively.Multivariate Lo-gistic regression analysis showed that older age,longer axial length and higher grade of myopic atrophy maculopathy were independent risk factors for blindness or visual impairment in patients with high myopia(all P＜0.05).Conclusion The ATN classification system can comprehensively reflect the disease severity and visual impairment of patients with myopic maculopathy.Older age,longer axial length and higher grade of myopic atrophy maculopathy are independent risk factors for blindness or visual impairment in patients with high myopia.

Objective:To investigate the effects of educational level on smoking cessation in patients with moderate to severe tobacco dependence, explore effective individualized smoking cessation methods, and increase smoking cessation rate.Methods:A total of 480 patients with moderate to severe tobacco dependence who were willing to quit smoking and received treatment in the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Shengli Oilfield Central Hospital from January to December 2020 were included in this study. They were divided into four groups ( n = 120/group) according to their educational level: group A (elementary school and below), group B (junior high school and senior high school), group C (technical secondary school or college), and group D (university and above). All patients were randomly assigned to undergo "5A" intervention alone or "5A" intervention combined with varenicline intervention (combined intervention). Patients' awareness of the health risks of tobacco smoking was compared among the four groups. The smoking cessation rate measured at different time points was compared between different intervention strategies. Results:The scores of health risk of tobacco smoking in groups D, C, B, and A were (806.5 ± 35.7) points, (710.8 ± 26.2) points, (643.6 ± 43.4) points, and (512.4 ± 30.1) points, respectively. Patients with high education levels had high awareness of the health risk of tobacco smoking ( F = 1 543.26, P < 0.001). At 1, 3, and 6 months, the smoking cessation rate of combined intervention was higher than that of "5A" intervention alone in each group (group A: χ2 = 3.85, 4.23, 4.10, group B: χ2 = 4.30, 4.09, 4.60, group C: χ2 = 6.81, 4.30, 4.03, group D: χ2 = 6.71, 6.51, 4.73, all P < 0.05). The smoking cessation rate after 6 months of "5A" intervention alone or combined intervention in group D was 60.0% and 78.3% respectively, which were significantly higher than 41.7% and 60.0% in group C, 23.3% and 41.7% in group B, and 20.0% and 36.7% in group A ( χ2 = 26.59, 26.12, both P < 0.001). At different time points, the smoking cessation rates of the "5A" intervention alone in group D were significantly higher than those of combined intervention in groups A and B ( χ2 = 9.25, 25.04, 7.29, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Awareness of the health risks of tobacco smoking is related to a patient's educational level, and affects smoking cessation. Individualized smoking cessation interventions based on a patient's educational level can increase the rate of smoking cessation.

Physiological parameter monitoring is essential to medical staff to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Monitoring in NICU includes basic vital signal monitoring and functional monitoring. Basic vital signal monitoring (including ECG, respiration, SpO2, blood pressure, temperature) is advanced and focus on study of usability, continuity and anti-interference. Functional monitoring (including respiratory function, circulatory function, cerebral function) still focus on study of monitoring precision and reliability. Meanwhile, video monitoring and artifact intelligence have presented well performance on improving monitoring precision and anti-interference. In this article, the main parameters and relevant measurement technology for monitoring critical neonates were described.

A 3-week practice-oriented training course on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management was conducted in December 2020, 34 primary care physicians from township or community health service centers attended the course. The impact of the training course on the knowledge levels of COPD management was evaluated with a questionnaire survey, the questionnaire contained the knowledge of COPD and its management. The survey showed that before the training, the participants had low knowledge levels on the definition of COPD and its risk factors; 67.6% (23/34) were not aware of COPD-related guidelines and new developments, and 17.6%(6/34) had conducted COPD follow-up assessments, pulmonary rehabilitation, and health education; only 8.8% (3/34) had used the improved British Medical Research Council Dyspnea Index (mMRC) and the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease assessment test (CAT) for patient self-assessment; there was no pulmonary function instrument in their units, and only 3 doctors (8.8%) had previously participated in pulmonary function training and knew indications and contraindications of the pulmonary function test, and complete report interpretation; all participants were unable to use common inhalation devices and master inhalation techniques completely and correctly; 11.8% (4/34) had assessed patients′ handling inhalation devices and performing inhalation. After the training, the knowledge levels of COPD clinical features, lung function and inhalation technique were significantly improved, and the scores were significantly increased compared with those before the training ( P<0.001). The study shows that primary care physicians have insufficient knowledge and management skill of COPD. The practice-oriented training can significantly improve the knowledge and skills of primary care physician for COPD management in the community.
