简介:目的梳理"十一五"课题195例研究样本临床大数据,统计分析2000~2017年中医干预艾滋病毒/艾滋病文献中"艾滋病病因病机"、"临床证候"和"临床体质症状"信息熵,探寻影响中医干预HIV/AIDS主熵变量及相关性,有效减少HIV感染向AIDS病发的转化不确定性,延长HIV感染者带毒生存时间。方法对"十一五"课题中医干预试验组195例研究样本临床熵变量进行研究,采用降维分析和偏相关分析法消除干扰因素,确定影响中医药干预HIV/AIDS的主熵变量。结果①主要病因病机为正虚、毒邪、湿温痰湿和伏邪;②HIV以脾肺证型居多,AIDS以脾肾心型居多;③主要体质症状为咳嗽、气短乏力、发热畏寒、头胸腹疼痛、腹泻、皮肤病变(瘙痒)、出汗异常、消瘦、脱发、口味异常等;④HIV/AIDS主熵变量X5(L淋巴细胞)、X6(血小板PLT)、X10(CD4+计数)、X17.(带毒生存时间Y年)、X18(PRO量表)、X23(身体质量指数BMI);⑤X6血小板PLT和X17(带毒生存时间Y年)与X23(身体质量指数BMI)正相关,说明HIV/AIDS为消耗性疾病。结论①HIV组对AIDS组有熵变量贡献,说明HIV转化为AIDS的过程是一个量变到质变的渐进过程;②中医药干预HIV/AIDS具有"既病防变"和带毒生存的作用;③正气损伤与邪气入侵是艾滋病发展变化的本质,正邪交争的动态变化凸现艾滋病变证丛生;④从研究结果来看,HIV向AIDS转变与体质质量密切相关。这意味着未来在深化中医药干预HIV/AIDS过程中,医者们需要更多地关注体质质量相关指标(肺活量、肌肉含量、脂肪含量、睡眠时间扥)对HIV/AIDS熵积和熵增的影响。

简介:目的:了解社区医疗机构孕妇性病/艾滋病相关知识知晓情况,为制订防控策略提供依据。方法:自行设计性病/艾滋病相关知识调查表,对在社区医疗机构初次办理围产保健卡的431例孕妇发放调查表,收集资料并进行统计分析。结果:431例孕妇性病/艾滋病相关知识总知晓率为69.80%,对性病/艾滋病各种知识的知晓程度不一。本市户籍孕妇性病/艾滋病相关知识的知晓率明显高于非本市户籍孕妇(礸2=7.02,P<0.01);文化程度大专及以上孕妇性病/艾滋病相关知识的知晓率较高(礸2=36.71,P<0.01)。结论:通过多渠道加强对孕妇性病/艾滋病相关知识的宣教,尤其是流动人口、低学历孕妇应作为宣教重点对象,以进一步提高其性病/艾滋病知识知晓率和疾病预防意识,降低性病/艾滋病感染的风险。
简介:目的:探讨在梅毒孕妇的配偶人群中应用流行病学治疗的合理性、接受性及初步效果。方法:依托《深圳市预防与控制梅毒母婴传播项目》,在梅毒孕妇人群中开展配偶通知,以配偶人群为研究对象,予流行病学治疗措施,收集配偶人群的临床和实验室等资料。结果:本研究纳入688名梅毒孕妇,通过患者通知方式通知到并就诊的配偶共556人,其中,接受流行病学治疗者共196人(35.25%),拒绝治疗者共360人(64.75%)。接受治疗者中,血清TRUST试验呈阴性者177人,呈阳性者11人,拒绝检测者8人;拒绝治疗者中血清TRUST试验呈阴性者199人,呈阳性者159人,拒绝检测者2人。结论:虽然流行病学治疗的可接受性尚不理想,但是,在梅毒孕妇的配偶人群应用流行病学治疗有较好的适用性和非常高的必要性;建议通过加强临床咨询服务,在梅毒孕妇的配偶人群中推广应用流行病学治疗措施。
