Calculating the Number of Pregnant Women Receiving Standardized Services for PMTCT of HIV in Liangshan Prefecture, Based on the Equivalent Method / 生物医学与环境科学（英文）

Objective@#To calculate the number of pregnant women who receive standardized prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) services for HIV annually.@*Methods@#HIV-positive pregnant women in six counties of Liangshan Prefecture in 2017 were selected as study subjects. The entire process, from when the subjects first received the PMTCT of HIV services to the end, was divided into four stages, which were further divided into 25 phases. The equivalent coefficient was used to indicate the weight of workload in each phase. Seven experts were invited to score the equivalent coefficient; the number of pregnant women who received standardized services to prevent the transmission of HIV was calculated.@*Results@#A total of 663 HIV-positive pregnant women were registered in six Liangshan Prefecture counties in 2017. This figure was converted into 7,780 person-months devoted to HIV-positive pregnant women, with 260 person-months (3.34%) spent on the first antenatal care, 1,510 person-months (19.41%) during pregnancy, 378 person-months (4.86%) on delivery, and 5,632 person-months (72.39%) on post-partum period. The equivalent coefficient calculation showed that 314 HIV-positive pregnant women received standardized PMTCT services.@*Conclusion@#The number of pregnant women receiving standardized services for the PMTCT of HIV can be calculated accurately using the equivalent method to identify the gap between the level of PMTCT of HIV intervention services needed and the actual workload.

Clinical significance of no-reflow in different stages of primary angioplasty among patients with acute myocardial infarctions.

BACKGROUND: The coronary no-reflow (NR) phenomenon, which is associated with poor clinical outcomes, is usually referred to as a post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) state. NR can occur in different stages of the PCI procedure, not only including the post-stenting stage, but from balloon pre-dilation to pre-stenting. The clinical significance of NR in the different stages of the PCI procedure is unclear. The purpose of the current study was to analyze the clinical and angiographic characteristics, the prognosis for NR patients in the aforementioned two stages and to determine the predictors of NR in the early stage. METHODS: Between January 2009 and December 2013, a total of 420 consecutive patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) underwent primary PCI. Sixty-three patients (15%) with NR constituted the study population. The patients were divided into an early NR group and a subsequent NR group. The clinical and angiographic findings were compared between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the predictors for early NR. The long-term clinical outcomes after PCI were analyzed. RESULTS: Regarding the baseline characteristics, we identified that the early NR group had statistically significant effects on the higher percentage of diabetes mellitus (42.9% vs. 20%), lower admission systolic blood pressure (SBP) (102.2 ± 8.3 mmHg vs. 110.5 ± 7.6 mmHg), higher percentage of Killip classification III (71.4% vs. 45.7%,) and longer reperfusion time (7.1 ± 2.3 h vs. 5.88 ± 2.2 h) compared to the subsequent NR group.There were significant differences between the two groups with respect to the percentage of initial thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow 0/1 (64.3% vs. 37.1%), target lesion length (31.4 ± 13.6 mm vs. 20.5 ± 17.3 mm) and thrombus score ⩾ 4 (67.9% vs. 42.9%; p < 0.05 for all). Multiple stepwise logistic regression analysis indicated that an admission SBP < 100 mmHg (OR = 4.580; 95% CI = 1.385-15.150; p = 0.0130), reperfusion time ⩾ 6 h (OR = 4.978; 95% CI = 1.468-16.882; p = 0.010) and a thrombus score ⩾ 4 (OR = 2.708; 95% CI = 0.833-8.799; p = 0.008) were the independent determinants of the early NR. During a 1-year follow-up, the all-cause mortality and overall major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in the early NR group occurred significantly more often than in the subsequent NR group (28.6% vs. 5.7% and 35.7% vs. 14.3%, respectively, p ITALIC! <0.05). The early NR group had a lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (42.5 ± 4.7 vs. 47.8 ± 3.5, p ITALIC! < 0.001) and a larger left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) (56.0 ± 4.0 vs. 51.5 ± 4.7, p = 0.001) at the end of the follow-up. CONCLUSION: Early NR patients during primary PCI have more severe baseline clinical and angiographic characteristics, as well as a poorer long-term prognosis.

Association between C-reactive protein gene +1059 G/C polymorphism and the risk of coronary heart disease: a meta-analysis / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>C-reactive protein (CRP) gene +1059 G/C polymorphism has been reported to be associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) risk, but the results remain inconclusive. This meta-analysis was therefore conducted to clarify these controversies.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A comprehensive search was conducted to identify all case control studies on the association between CRP gene +1059 G/C polymorphism and CHD risk. All the related studies were further strictly selected according to the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis was performed with STATA 10.1 (StataCorp, USA). The association was assessed by odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI); both Begg's funnel plot and Egger's regression test were used to assess the publication bias.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>This meta-analysis on a total of 13 studies comprising 6316 CHD cases and 4467 controls showed no significant association between CRP gene +1059 G/C polymorphism and CHD risk in the overall study (for C/C+C/G vs. G/G: OR = 1.01, 95% CI = 0.81-1.25, P = 0.96; for C/C vs. C/G+G/G: OR = 1.17, 95% CI = 0.77-1.77, P = 0.47; for C/C vs. G/G: OR = 1.17, 95% CI = 0.77-1.77, P = 0.47; for C allele vs. G allele: OR = 1.01, 95% CI = 0.81-1.24, P = 0.96). However, in the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, the results showed significant association between CRP gene +1059 G/C polymorphism and CHD risk among Caucasians (for C/C vs. G/G: OR = 2.54, 95% CI = 1.13-5.72, P = 0.02; C/C vs. C/G+G/G: OR = 2.45, 95% CI = 1.09-5.51, P = 0.03), but not among Asians and Africans (P > 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>CRP gene +1059 G/C polymorphism may be associated with increased CHD risk among Caucasians and more evidences need to validate the conclusion.</p>
