Background::Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related non-Hodgkin lymphoma (AR-NHL) is a high-risk factor for morbidity and mortality in patients with AIDS. This study aimed to determine the prognostic factors associated with overall survival (OS) and to develop a prognostic nomogram incorporating computed tomography imaging features in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome-related non-Hodgkin lymphoma (AR-NHL).Methods::A total of 121 AR-NHL patients between July 2012 and November 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical and radiological independent predictors of OS were confirmed using multivariable Cox analysis. A prognostic nomogram was constructed based on the above clinical and radiological factors and then provided optimum accuracy in predicting OS. The predictive accuracy of the nomogram was determined by Harrell C-statistic. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to determine median OS. The prognostic value of adjuvant therapy was evaluated in different subgroups.Results::In the multivariate Cox regression analysis, involvement of mediastinal or hilar lymph nodes, liver, necrosis in the lesions, the treatment with chemotherapy, and the CD4 ≤100 cells/μL were independent risk factors for poor OS (alln P < 0.050). The predictive nomogram based on Cox regression has good discrimination (Harrell C-index = 0.716) and good calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow test, n P = 0.620) in high- and low-risk groups. Only patients in the high-risk group who received adjuvant chemotherapy had a significantly better survival outcome.n Conclusion::A survival-predicting nomogram was developed in this study, which was effective in assessing the survival outcomes of patients with AR-NHL. Notably, decision-making of chemotherapy regimens and more frequent follow-up should be considered in the high-risk group determined by this model.“,”Background::Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related non-Hodgkin lymphoma (AR-NHL) is a high-risk factor for morbidity and mortality in patients with AIDS.

保胆取石术可能会导致胆囊结石无法完全摘除或复发,一直存在争议。本例患者因胆囊结石、胆囊炎于腹腔镜下行保胆取石术,术后出现反复发热,影像学检查示肝脓肿,脓液培养提示为大肠埃希菌,经抗感染治疗后体温降至正常,但病灶未见缩小,可能原因是保胆取石术后胆囊结石逆行至肝脏导致肝脓肿迁延不愈,经特殊肝段切除+胆囊切除术+肝脓肿切开引流术后继续抗感染治疗,最终病灶吸收。

硬膜下脓肿(subdural abscess)是指聚积于硬脑膜和蛛网膜之间的硬脑膜下腔的脓肿,往往继发于颅内化脓性感染,多由葡萄球菌、链球菌等引起,但由沙门菌感染引起的硬膜下脓肿极为罕见。本例男性患者无明显诱因出现发热20 d,体温最高达39.0 ℃,伴意识障碍、左侧肢体运动障碍表现,C反应蛋白和白细胞计数明显升高,影像学检查结果提示右侧额颞部慢性硬膜下脓肿,引流液培养提示为沙门菌。在抗感染和对症治疗的基础上行硬膜下血肿引流后,患者病情得到了有效的控制。
艾滋病和慢性乙型肝炎是威胁公众健康的严重问题,其治疗主要依赖抗病毒药物。然而,部分抗病毒药物对肾脏和骨骼可能产生不良影响,可导致低磷血性骨软化症或骨质疏松症。本研究就抗病毒药物对骨骼的潜在不良反应、机制及治疗策略进行综述,以期减少抗病毒药物的不良反应,提高患者的生命质量。
沙眼衣原体感染是常见的性传播疾病,可引起严重并发症和后遗症,疫苗研发是其主要的预防治疗方式。目前,衣原体疫苗种类主要有DNA疫苗、亚单位疫苗和减毒活疫苗,但都有不足之处。最新研究发现口服疫苗是衣原体疫苗研发的潜在切入点,消化道衣原体对生殖道衣原体感染起到免疫保护作用,可缩短衣原体生殖道感染时间和避免输卵管积水等病理改变。本研究探讨了目前衣原体疫苗的种类,消化道口服疫苗的特点和机制,以及衣原体消化道口服疫苗的探索,对泌尿生殖道沙眼衣原体感染的治疗提供指导。
