Abstract

Objective: To analyze the change trend of HIV genetic subtypes and compare the first CD(4)(+)T cell counts of newly diagnosed HIV infected patients in Liuzhou from 1998 to 2012, and provide a reference for AIDS prevention and control. Methods: Newly diagnosed HIV-infected patients from 1998 to 2012 in Liuzhou were selected through national HIV/ADIS comprehensive response information management system. Their plasma samples were used for RNA gene extraction, amplification, sequencing and genotyping. Coharan-Armitage trend test was used to analyze the ratio trend of genetic subtypes and phylogenetic clusters of HIV and Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test was used to compare the first CD(4)(+)T cell counts (CD(4)) of the different subtype HIV infected patients. Results: A total of 1 877 newly diagnosed HIV infected patients were included in the study. From 1998 to 2012, the proportions of CRF01_AE and CRF01_AE (Cluster 1) increased from 78.4% (76/97) to 91.5% (1 441/1 574), from 63.9% (62/97) to 74.0% (1 164/1 574), and the proportion of CRF07_BC decreased from 17.5% (17/97) to 4.6% (72/1 574), respectively (Z=4.632, P<0.001; Z=2.455, P=0.014; Z=-5.943, P<0.001). The median and interquartile range of the first CD(4) of the patients infected with subtype CRF01_AE (Cluster 1), CRF01_AE (Cluster 2), CRF07_BC and CRF08_BC were 230 (83-375), 215 (48-351), 365 (254-503) and 334 (206-479) cell/μl, respectively. The first CD(4) levels of the patients infected with subtype CRF01_AE (Cluster 1) or CRF01_AE (Cluster 2) were significantly lower than those of CRF07_BC (Z=-4.795, P<0.001; Z=-4.238, P<0.001). Conclusion: The genetic subtypes of HIV were mainly CRF01_AE in newly diagnosed HIV-infected patients and this subtype proportion was in increase and the first CD(4) levels of the patients were low in Liuzhou during 1998 to 2012.

目的: 分析柳州市1998-2012年新发现HIV基因亚型变化,比较HIV感染者首次CD(4)(+)T淋巴细胞计数(CD(4)),为艾滋病防治提供参考依据。 方法: 选取我国艾滋病综合防治信息系统中1998-2012年柳州市新发现HIV感染者,对其血浆进行RNA提取、扩增、测序和分型。采用Coharan-Armitage趋势检验法分析HIV基因亚型变化的趋势,采用Wilcoxon秩和检验法分析比较HIV感染者的首次CD(4)。 结果: 研究对象共有1 877例HIV感染者。1998-2012年,CRF01_AE、CRF01_AE(Cluster 1)和CRF07_BC亚型构成比分别从78.4%(76/97)上升至91.5%(1 441/1 574)、63.9%(62/97)上升至74.0%(1 164/1 574)和17.5%(17/97)下降至4.6%(72/1 574),趋势性检验差异均有统计学意义(Z=4.632,P<0.001;Z=2.455,P=0.014;Z=-5.943,P<0.001)。CRF01_AE(Cluster 1)、CRF01_AE(Cluster 2)、CRF07_BC和CRF08_BC亚型HIV感染者首次CD(4)的中位数及四分位数间距分别是230(83~375)、215(48~351)、365(254~503)和334(206~479)个/μl。CRF01_AE(Cluster 1)和CRF01_AE(Cluster 2)亚型HIV感染者的首次CD(4)均<CRF07_BC亚型(Z=-4.795,P<0.001;Z=-4.238,P<0.001)。 结论: 1998-2012年柳州市新发现HIV感染者以CRF01_AE亚型为主并呈上升趋势,其首次CD(4)较低,且新发现CRF01_AE亚簇的种类在增加,其亚簇构成比存在变化趋势。.
