Objective To evaluate the relation of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) loads in cerebrospinal fluid with central neurological diseases. Methods The inpatients with HIV-1 infection diagnosed by Public Health Clinical Center of Chengdu between January 1st, 2015 and March 1st, 2018 were retrospectively included. The included patients were divided into central neurological disease group and non-central neurological disease group, and high viral load group and low viral load group. The demographic data, CD4+ T lymphocyte count, routine detection of cerebrospinal fluid, HIV RNA load in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma of patients with and without central neurological diseases were observed and compared.Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for central neurological diseases. Results A total of 367 patients were included. In the central neurological disease group, 210 cases (57.22%) were complicated with central neurological diseases, and cryptococcus infection was the most. Compared with the non-central neurological disease group, the increase rate of cerebrospinal fluid cell counts, cerebrospinal fluid cell counts, cerebrospinal fluid HIV RNA positivity and cerebrospinal fluid HIV RNA load were higher in the central neurological disease group (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that HIV RNA load in cerebrospinal fluid≥100 000 copies/mL and CD4+ T lymphocyte count<200 cells/mm3 were risk factors for central neurological diseases. Conclusion Cerebrospinal fluid HIV RNA load≥100 000 copies/mL is an independent risk factor for HIV/AIDS patients with central neurological diseases and clinical treatment should take this factor into consideration to reasonably optimize the selection of antiretroviral therapy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the ultrasonic changes of liver during various immune periods with different number of CD4+ T lymphocytes in HIV/AIDS patients with chronic viral hepatitis. MethodsThe clinical data of 100 patients with chronic viral hepatitis diagnosed between January 2010 and December 2012 were selected. Among them, 50 simple chronic viral hepatitis patients were designated as the control group, and the other 50 HIV/AIDS patients with chronic viral hepatitis were regarded as the experimental group. Ultrasonographic observation was applied on patients of the experimental group according to different immune period based on the number of CD4+ T lymphocytes. Indexes observed included liver size, the edge of liver, capsule of liver and hepatic parenchymal echo. The cross-check analysis was employed between observed results and clinical laboratory results. ResultsAbnormal changes of the experimental group were shown on the ultrasound observation of liver in different CD4+ T lymphocyte count immune periods, including enlargement of the liver, slightly blunt liver margin, slightly thick capsule, dense and uniform, slightly rough and not so uniform, or rough and not uniform hepatic parenchymal echo. There was no significant difference in ultrasonic changes of liver between the two groups when the CD4+ T cell number was over 300/mm3. However, the difference was significant when the CD4+ T cell number was below 100/mm3. ConclusionLiver abnormalities become more obvious as CD4+ T cell count decreases in HIV/AIDS patients with chronic viral hepatitis. Comprehensive considerations of various liver ultrasound indicators are helpful in clinical evaluation of HIV/AIDS patients with chronic viral hepatitis.
Objective To evaluate the clinical features, diagnosis, and outcome of the treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis, and the relationship between CMV retinitis and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Methods A total of 95 eyes of 56 patients with cytomegalovirus retinitis and AIDS were studied. The fundus feature, visual acuity and CD4+ T-lymphocyte counts were analyzed and the follow-up periods ranged from 2 weeks to 18 months. Results Before the definitive diagnosis of CMV retinitis, the courses of AIDS were 4 to 26 months in all patients. In the initial examination, the granular form of CMV retinal lesion was noted in 55 eyes (57%) in which retinal lesion of 46 eyes was peripheral. The fulminant form of CMV retinitis of 25 eyes (26%) was found in the posterior pole and consisted of densely opaque retinal lesions with blotchy hemorrhage and vasculitis. The overlap between these two presentations was noted in 15 eyes. Papillitis was observed in 7 eyes of CMV retinitis in this series of patients. The visual acuity ranged from finger counting to 0.5. The patients with extensive CMV retinitis or CMV retinitis in the posterior pole got poorer vision. The CD4+ T-lymphocyte counts of 30 patients was 0-30 (mean, 15±9/μl), and the survival time ranged from 2 weeks to 18 months (mean, 6.4±3.3 months). The vision was improved and CD4+ T-lymphocyte counts was significantly higher in the group treated with ganciclovir, and progression of CMV retinitis occured and the vision decreased in the non-treated group. Conclusion CMV retinitis is the most common intraocular complication in patients with AIDS. Diagnosis of CMV retinitis is based on the characteristic of necrotizing retinitis which was typically associated with retinal hemorrhage and vasculitis. Ganciclovir is effective for the treatment of CMV retinitis. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2002, 18: 89-91)

Methods Descriptive epidemiological analysis was conducted on the AIDS epidemic data in Dechang county. Results From 1995 when the first case of HIV infection was confirmed to August 2011, a total of 262 cases of HIV/AIDS were reported with a total infection rate of 18.95/100 000. From 2008 to 2010, the reported infections showed rapid growth. The annual infection rate of male was 26.57/100 000 and female 11.05/100 000 with a significant difference (χ2＝43.94, P＝0.002). The ratio of male to female infections was 2.49∶1. Most of the AIDS cases were young adults aged between 20 and 45 years and old people aged between 55 and 75 years old who occupied 93.49% of the total infectious cases. The number of reported AIDS cases of farmer and unknown occupations accounted for 82.4% and there was an obvious occupations peak. Most patients in the county were infected by heterosexual sexual contact and injecting drugs, which accounted for 64.89% and 32.82% of the total respectively. The AIDS cases of 29 infected couples and 3 mother-to-child transmission. Conclusions AIDS epidemic growth is rapid in Dechang county with the situation being quite grim. We should enhance the AIDS prevention propaganda in the publicity, to raise national awareness of AIDS prevention. The related departments should cooperate to regulate the illegal entertainment and strengthen the management of migrant workers. The counseling and testing network should be improved so as to raise the detection rate and control the spread of AIDS.
Objective To observe the fundus characteristics of human immunodeficiency virus with acquired immune deficiency (HIV/AIDS). Methods A total of 1041 HIV/AIDS patients were enrolled in this study. The patients included 882 males (88.70%) and 159 females (11.30%). The patientsprime; ages ranged from 12 to 73 years, with a mean age of 41 years. The median time of HIV/AIDS diagnosis was 12 months, which ranged from one month to 10 years. HIV infection was acquired through sexual contact, intravenous drug use, blood transfusion or mother-to-child transmission in 475 patients (45.63%), 508 patients (48.80%), 44 patients (4.25%) and 14 patients (1.34%), respectively. Ocular examinations (vision acuity, slit lamp microscope and fundus examination) were performed on recruited patients with HIV/AIDS. Additional exams (intraocular pressure, fundus photography and fundus fluorescein angiography) were done if abnormal ocular fundus was found. The ocular manifestations were diagnosed according to clinic reference. Results Ocular manifestations of HIV/AIDS were detected in 247 patients (23.73%). Of 247 patients, the most common ocular manifestation was HIV retinopathy, which was present in 132 patients (53.44%); cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR) was second place, affecting 70 participants (28.34%). Clinic findings of HIV retinopathy included retina microaneurysm, hemorrhage along the blood vessel with cotton-wool spots, while irregular dry edge, granular appearing border, were present in CMVR, and the optic nerve may be affected. Fluorescein angiogram of HIV retinopathy demonstrated that hemorrhage was shown as sheltered fluorescence, with b fluorescence without leakage in center of hemorrhage. Fluorescein angiogram of CMVR demonstrated significant hemorrhage appearing as sheltered fluorescence with leakage and/or transparent fluorescence. The optic disk and lesioned area were stained with fluorescence. Conclusions There are various HIV/AIDS related ocular manifestation. HIV retinopathy and CMVR are common ocular manifestations. The main clinical findings of HIV retinopathy are hemorrhage and/or cotton-wool spots, while irregular granular appearing edges and hemorrhage were observed in CMVR.
