| 7 | Immediate and long-term outcomes after treat-all among people living with HIV in China:an interrupted time series analysis显示文摘Background In 2003,China implemented free antiretroviral therapy(ART)for people living with HIV(PLHIV),establishing an eligibility threshold of CD4<200 cells/μl.Subsequently,the entry criteria were revised in 2012(eligibility threshold:CD4≤350 cells/μl),2014(CD4≤500 cells/μl),and 2016(treat-all).However,the impact of treat-all policy on HIV care and treatment indicators in China is unknown.We aimed to elucidate the immediate and long-term impact of the implementation of treat-all policy in China.Methods Anonymized programmatic data on ART initiation and collection in PLHIV who newly started ART were retrieved between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2019,from two provincial and municipal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and ten major infectious disease hospitals specialized in HIV care in China.We used Poisson and quasi-Poisson segmented regression models to estimate the immediate and long-term impact of treat-all on three key indicators:monthly proportion of 30-day ART initiation,mean CD4 counts(cells/μl)at ART initiation,and mean estimated time from infection to diagnosis(year).We built separate models according to gender,age,route of transmission and region.Results Monthly data on ART initiation and collection were available for 75,516 individuals[gender:83.8%males;age:median 39 years,interquartile range(IQR):28-53;region:18.5%Northern China,10.9%Northeastern China,17.5%Southern China,49.2%Southwestern China].In the first month of treat-all,compared with the contemporaneous counterfactual,there was a significant increase in proportion of 30-day ART initiation[+12.6%,incidence rate ratio(IRR)=1.126,95%CI:1.033-1.229;P=0.007]and mean estimated time from infection to diagnosis(+7.0%,IRR=1.070,95%CI:1.021-1.120;P=0.004),while there was no significant change in mean CD4 at ART initiation(IRR=0.990,95%CI:0.956-1.026;P=0.585).By December 2019,the three outcomes were not significantly different from expected levels.In the stratified analysis,compared with the contemporaneous counterfactual,mean CD4 at ART initiation showed significant increases in Northern China(+3.3%,IRR=1.033,95%CI:1.001-1.065;P=0.041)and Northeastern China(+8.0%,IRR=1.080,95%CI:1.003-1.164;P=0.042)in the first month of treat-all;mean estimated time from infection to diagnosis showed significant increases in male(+5.6%,IRR=1.056,95%CI:1.010-1.104;P=0.016),female(+14.8%,IRR=1.148,95%CI:1.062-1.240;P<0.001),aged 26-35(+5.3%,IRR=1.053,95%CI:1.001-1.109;P=0.048)and>50(+7.8%,IRR=1.078,95%CI:1.000-1.161;P=0.046),heterosexual transmission(+12.4%,IRR=1.124,95%CI:1.042-1.213;P=0.002)and Southwestern China(+12.9%,IRR=1.129,95%CI:1.055-1.208;P<0.001)in the first month of treat-all.Conclusions The implementation of treat-all policy in China was associated with a positive effect on HIV care and treatment outcomes.To advance the work of rapid ART,efforts should be made to streamline the testing and ART initiation process,provide comprehensive support services,and address the issue of uneven distribution of medical resources. | Xinsheng Wu Guohui Wu Ping Ma Rugang Wang Linghua Li Yinghui Sun Junjie Xu Yuwei Li Tong Zhang Quanmin Li Yuecheng Yang Lijing Wang Xiaoli Xin Ying Qiao Bingxue Fang Zhen Lu Xinyi Zhou Yuanyi Chen Qi Liu Gengfeng Fu Hongxia Wei Xiaojie Huang Bin Su Hui Wang Huachun Zou | 2023 | Infectious Diseases of Poverty2023,12,4: | 0 |
| 8 | The Crank-Nicolson/Explicit Scheme for the Natural Convection Equations with Nonsmooth Initial Data显示文摘In this article,a Crank-Nicolson/Explicit scheme is designed and analyzed for the time-dependent natural convection problem with nonsmooth initial data.The Galerkin finite element method(FEM)with stable MINI element is used for the velocity and pressure and linear polynomial for the temperature.The time discretization is based on the Crank-Nicolson scheme.In order to simplify the computations,the nonlinear terms are treated by the explicit scheme.The advantages of our numerical scheme can be list as follows:(1)The original problem is split into two linear subproblems,these subproblems can be solved in each time level in parallel and the computational sizes are smaller than the origin one.(2)A constant coefficient linear discrete algebraic system is obtained in each subproblem and the computation becomes easy.The main contributions of this work are the stability and convergence results of numerical solutions with nonsmooth initial data.Finally,some numerical results are presented to verify the established theoretical results and show the performances of the developed numerical scheme. | Jinting Yang Hongxia Liang Tong Zhang | 2020 | Advances in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics2020,12,6: | 0 |
| 9 | RNF6 promotes chronic myelogenous leukemia cell proliferation and migration by stabilizing vimentin via multiple atypical ubiquitinations显示文摘Chronic myelogenous leukemia(CML)is a malignancy from bone marrow myeloid stem cells mainly driven by the fusion gene BCR-ABL.In addition to BCR-ABL,other genes including RNF6 are also dysregulated in CML cells.1 RNF6,a ubiquitin ligase of the RING family,promotes various cancer cell proliferation,chemoresistance,and tumor growth in vivo by targeting various proteins for ubiquitination and degradation,including SHP1,TLE3,FOXA1,and MAD1.^(2) However,its specific mechanism in CML is not known. | Hongxia Zhang Yueya Zhong Yuanming He Yujia Xu Ying Ren Haixia Zhuang Tong Sun Zhigang Zhu Xinliang Mao | 2024 | Genes & Diseases2024,11,1: | 0 |
