ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effects of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) combined regimens for hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients in Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan Province from 2022 to 2024, to analyze the characteristics of treatment failure patients, so as to provide a basis for discovering more effective treatment regimens in the future. MethodsData on HCV prevention and treatment in Dehong Prefecture was extracted from the China Disease Control and Prevention Information System. A total of 617 patients with HCV antiviral therapy were included, and the differences in variable characteristics among patients with different genotypes were analyzed using comparative statistical tests, including basic socio-demographic characteristics, biochemical testing indicators, and information on previous treatment and current treatment. In addition, the cure rate of HCV patients with diverse characteristics was compared, and the potential causes of treatment failure were explored simultaneously. ResultsThe cure rate of HCV was 96.8%, and statistically significant differences were observed in aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) levels, previous antiviral therapy history and initial treatment regimens among patients with different HCV genotypes (all P<0.05). Among the multi-type combination regimens, the cure rate of sofosbuvir (SOF)-containing regimens was 97.00%, that of velpatasvir (VEL)-containing regimens was 95.45%, and the cure rate of other treatment regimens, including the regimens with ribavirin (RIB) intervention, was 93.10%. Among the patients with treatment failure, 45.00% had genotype 3, 40.00% had abnormal abdominal ultrasound results, and all presented with elevated baseline AST test levels. ConclusionThe clinical treatment of HCV patients should consider the differences in genotype and biochemical test results. DAAs combined regimens for HCV have achieved a high cure rate in Dehong Prefecture and are applicable to HCV patients with diverse clinical characteristics, providing research evidence for wider application.

Objective To study the application value of CAD/CAM technology in the teaching of inlay manufacturing.Methods A total of 60 undergraduates interned in the Department of Stomatology,Yan'an Hospital,Kunming Medical University were randomly divided into an experimental group(n=30)and a control group(n=30).We selected appropriate clinical cases for students to prepare for mandibular molar's proximal occlusal inlays.The instructor guided the results of the first preparation in different ways,and the students made the second modification and preparation,and the assessment team scored and evaluated the five aspects of the final preparation,the shape of the preparation,the shape of the occlusal surface,the dovetail retention,and the adjacent surface.Results The scores of all detection indexes in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The application of CAD/CAM technology in inlay manufacturing teaching can effectively improve students'clinical hands-on ability and achieve better teaching effects than traditional teaching methods.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between preoperative incomplete intestinal obstruction and the risk of perioperative reflux and aspiration assessed by preoperative bedside ultrasonography in patients with colon cancer.Methods:A prospective case series study was conducted. A total of 300 patients with colon cancer who underwent elective surgery from March 2020 to January 2022 in the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University were prospectively selected for the study. According to whether there was incomplete intestinal obstruction before operation, the patients were divided into obstruction group and non-obstruction group. All patients underwent preoperative ultrasound examination of the gastric antrum, measuring the cross-sectional area of the gastric antrum in the right lateral position, and calculating the gastric volume and unit body mass gastric volume (GV/W), which were all expressed as M ( Q1, Q3). The differences in cross-sectional area of the gastric antrum, gastric volume and GV/W in the right lateral position between the two groups were compared, as well as the risk of reflux and aspiration (the risk of reflux and aspiration was extremely low at GV/W<0.8 ml/kg, the risk was low at GV/W 0.8-1.5 ml/kg, and the risk was high at GV/W >1.5 ml/kg). Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of high risk of reflux and aspiration. Results:Of 300 patients, 7 patients were excluded because of blurred images on ultrasonography, and a total of 293 patients were finally included. The age [ M ( Q1, Q3)] of obstruction group (146 cases) was 58.0 years old (55.0 years old, 67.0 years old), including 80 males and 66 females; the age of non-obstruction group (147 cases) was 55.0 years old (53.5 years old, 64.0 years old), including 64 males and 83 females. The age and body mass index (BMI) of the patients in the obstructin group were higher than those in the non-obstruction group, and the differences were statistically significant (both P < 0.05), and there were no significant differences in gender, duration of dietary abstinence, comorbid hypertension, comorbid diabetes mellitus, smoking status, sedentariness, and alcoholism between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Compared with the non-obstruction group, patients in the obstruction group had a higher cross-sectional area of the gastric antrum [5.83 cm 2 (5.25 cm 2, 6.70 cm 2) vs. 5.13 cm 2 (4.43 cm 2, 5.79 cm 2), P < 0.001], gastric volume [43.00 ml (37.07 ml, 52.74 ml) vs. 32.78 ml (25.52 ml, 39.85 ml), P < 0.001] and GV/W [0.70 ml/kg (0.65 ml/kg, 0.82 ml/kg) vs. 0.55 ml/kg (0.46 ml/kg, 0.62 ml/kg), P < 0.001] in the right lateral position. The proportion of patients at high risk of reflux and aspiration in the obstruction group was higher than that in the non-obstruction group [22.6% (33/146) vs. 12.2% (18/147), χ2 = 4.59, P = 0.032]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that combination of incomplete intestinal obstruction (combined vs. uncombined, OR = 2.145, 95% CI: 1.096-4.198, P = 0.026), and males (females vs. males, OR = 0.415, 95% CI: 0.199-0.867, P = 0.019) were the independent risk factors for a high risk of perioperative reflux and aspiration assessed by preoperative bedside ultrasonography. Conclusions:Colon cancer patients combined with incomplete intestinal obstruction have significantly larger preoperative cross-sectional area of the gastric antrum, gastric volume and GV/W in the right lateral position, and have gastric retention, which may contribute to a higher risk of perioperative reflux and aspiration.

ObjectiveTo explore the prevalence and influencing factors of multimorbidity among the HIV-infected individuals receiving anti-viral therapy (ART) in Dehong Prefecture of Yunnan Province, so as to provide a reference for the long-term follow-up management of HIV-infected patients and the comprehensive prevention and treatment of chronic diseases. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the multimorbidity burden among the HIV-infected adults receiving ART in Dehong Prefecture from January to July 2021 and a self-designed questionnaire was used to analyze relevant disease indicators. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors of multimorbidity among the HIV-infected individuals. ResultsA total of 3 946 HIV-infected individuals receiving ART were enrolled in this study, of which 63.7% aged ≤50 years, with a male to female ratio of 1.1∶1. Among the 3 946 cases, 825 of them had ≥2 comorbidities, with a co-prevalence rate of 20.9% (95%CI:19.6%‒22.2%), and the main comorbidities were dyslipidemia, diabetes, and hypertension. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that 40≤ aged <50 years (aOR=1.86, 95%CI: 1.45‒2.40, P<0.001), 50≤ aged ≤85 years (aOR=3.75, 95%CI: 2.93‒4.80, P<0.001), Dai nationality (aOR=1.21, 95%CI: 1.01‒1.47, P=0.043), BMI≥24.0 kg∙m^-2 (aOR=1.79, 95%CI: 1.49‒2.14, P<0.001), 10.0≤ with ART duration for <12.5 years (aOR=1.49, 95%CI: 1.05‒2.12, P=0.024), with ART duration for ≥12.5 years (aOR=1.50, 95%CI: 1.05‒2.15, P=0.026), use of second-line HIV therapy (aOR=1.43, 95%CI: 1.19‒1.70, P<0.001) and other therapy options (aOR=3.16, 95%CI: 2.17‒4.61, P<0.001) were positively correlated with multimorbidity. ConclusionThe prevalence of multimorbidity among the HIV-infected individuals receiving ART in Dehong Prefecture is high, which is associated with the advancing age and prolonged treatment time, particularly with a significant burden of dyslipidemia, diabetes, and hypertension. Comprehensive surveillance and targeted management of comorbidities, along with ART follow-up, need to be strengthened in the future.

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.

ObjectiveTo understand the epidemiological characteristics and trends of sexually transmitted diseases （STDs） in Dehong Prefecture， Yunnan Province from 2010 to 2022， so as to provide a basis for the prevention and control of STDs in Dehong Prefecture. MethodsThe 2010‒2022 epidemic cards of STD cases in Dehong Prefecture were downloaded from the China Disease Control and Prevention Information System， and descriptive analysis of the incidence rate and demographic characteristics by disease type was conducted. The syphilis screening data of various populations in Dehong Prefecture between 2014 and 2022 were obtained from the National STD Control and Management Information System， and the syphilis positivity rates of key populations were calculated. ResultsA total of 18 225 STD cases were reported in Dehong Prefecture from 2010 to 2022， and the reported incidence rate increased from 17.1/10⁵ in 2010 to 172.0/10⁵ in 2022， showing an increasing trend （χ²_trend=42.9， P<0.001）. The number of reported cases of gonorrhea， syphilis， condyloma acuminatum， genital chlamydia infection， and genital herpes were 7 801 （42.8%）， 4 563 （25.0%）， 3 462 （18.8%）， 1 660 （9.1%）， and 775 （4.3%）， respectively. The majority of the reported STD cases were males （12 336 cases， 67.7%）， young adults aged 15 to <45 years （15 839 cases， 87.2%）， and farmers （9 230 cases， 50.7%）. The elderly group aged 65 years and over accounted for 10.5% of syphilis cases. Among different types of key populations， the highest syphilis positivity rate was found among men who have sex with men （10.1%）， followed by STD clinic attendees （8.1%）， and the syphilis positivity rates among clandestine prostitutes， voluntary counseling and testing population， drug addicts， and drug rehabilitation center/re-education through labor center population were 2.2%， 1.6%， 1.4%， and 1.3%， respectively. ConclusionFrom 2010 to 2022， the STD epidemic in Dehong Prefecture showed a rapidly increasing trend， with a higher incidence of gonorrhea and syphilis， and a higher syphilis positivity rate among men who have sex with men， drug addicts， clandestine prostitutes， and STD clinic patients. In the future， publicity， education and behavioral interventions for these groups should be strengthened to reduce the prevalence and transmission of STDs.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the HIV genotypic subtypes and molecular transmission clusters among men who have sex with men （MSM） with newly reported HIV infections in Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture （Dehong Prefecture）， Yunnan Province， China， between 2010 and 2019. The study aimed to identify potential high-risk transmitters and provide reference data for screening， management， and intervention of infection sources. MethodsPlasma samples from newly reported HIV-positive MSM individuals in Dehong Prefecture between 2010 and 2019 were collected. The viral pol gene fragments were amplified， sequenced， and genotyped. Genetic distances （GD） between pairwise sequences were analyzed and calculated. MEGA 7.0 and Gephi were used for phylogenetic and molecular transmission network analysis. ResultsA total of 159 newly reported HIV infections among MSM were included in the study， with successful genotyping of 100 cases. Nine HIV-1 subtypes were identified， with the most prevalent being CRF01_AE subtype （52%）， followed by CRF07_BC subtype （31%）， CRF55_01B subtype （10%）， and others （7%）. Cluster analysis revealed a total network access rate of 67%， forming three transmission clusters. CRF01_AE subtype formed two transmission clusters with 38 and 3 infected individuals， while CRF07_BC subtypes formed one transmission cluster with 26 infected individuals. The transmission network within the CRF01_AE clusters exhibited a more complex relationship. Significant differences in educational level were observed between the two main transmission clusters. ConclusionThe predominant HIV subtypes among newly reported MSM cases in Dehong Prefecture between 2010 and 2019 were CRF01_AE and CRF07_BC. Significant cultural differences are observed between the main transmission clusters. Continued monitoring of genotypic subtypes and targeted interventions within transmission clusters are warranted.

ObjectiveTo determine the characteristics， viral load and immunological status of HIV-infected persons and their spouses who became HIV-positive， and the reasons for HIV seroconversion in 55 HIV discordant couples in Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture （Dehong Prefecture）， Yunan Province. MethodsData on the 55 couples meeting the criteria of having a previously positive spouse were retrieved from the AIDS Integrated Prevention and Control Data Information System of the China Disease Control and Prevention Information System during 2015-2021. General socio-demographic information， age at diagnosis， exposure history， CD4⁺T lymphocyte count， and antiviral treatment were collected. Descriptive analysis and chi-square test were used to compare the distribution of pre-HIV-positive spouses and their HIV seroconverted spouses. ResultsA total of 55 spouses from HIV discordant couples had HIV seroconversion. Of them， 72.7% （40/55） of pre-HIV-positive spouses were husbands. The most recent CD4⁺T lymphocyte count in the pre-HIV-positive spouses was （328.31±246.27） cells·μL^-1 at the time of diagnosis of their seroconverted spouses， of which 36.3% （20/55） had a CD4⁺T lymphocyte count of less than 200 cells·μL^-1. Furthermore， of those pre-HIV-positive spouses with low CD4⁺T lymphocyte count， 45.0% （9/20） had an undetectable viral load， 15.0% （3/20） <400 copies·mL^-1， and 25.0%（5/20） ≥400 copies·mL^-1. Additionally， 16.4% （9/55） of the pre-HIV-positive spouses did not have a viral load test. The main reasons for HIV seroconversion among HIV-negative spouses in the discordant couples were poor condom use， poor compliance with antiviral therapy， and treatment discontinuation. ConclusionThe follow-up management of HIV discordant couples should be strengthened in Dehong Prefecture， especially the monitoring of viral load levels and immunological status of pre-HIV-positive spouses， to improve their compliance with antiviral therapy and reduce treatment discontinuation， which would effectively prevent and control HIV transmission between spouses.
