Objective:
To identify the risk of HIV infection among men who have sex with men (MSM) with different sex roles, so as to provide insights into the prevention and control strategies for HIV infection among MSM.
Methods:
Peer-driven sampling method was employed to recruit MSM in a city in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in 2022, a questionnaire survey was conducted to collect demographic information and sexual behaviors, and laboratory tests were conducted to detect HIV and syphilis antibodies. The characteristics of sexual behaviors among MSM with different sex roles and prevalence of HIV infection were analyzed, and factors affecting HIV infection among MSM were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 666 MSM were investigated, with a mean age of (28.70±8.09) years and 577 local residents (86.64%). There were 166 insertive MSM (24.92%), 179 receptive MSM (26.88%) and 321 both receptive and insertive MSM (48.20%). The HIV infection rate was 8.26%, with 3.61% in insertive MSM, 13.41% in receptive MSM, and 7.79% in both receptive and insertive MSM. Significant differences were seen in age, recruitment route, sexual orientation, age of first homosexual sex, condom use with temporary partners and HIV infection rate among different sex roles (all P<0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that insertive MSM had a lower risk of HIV infection than both receptive and insertive MSM (OR=0.513, 95%CI: 0.272-0.969), while there was no significant difference in the risk of HIV infection between receptive MSM and both receptive and insertive MSM (OR=2.088, 95%CI: 0.081-5.380).
Conclusions
The risk of HIV infection among receptive and both receptive and insertive MSM are higher than that among insertive MSM. Classified measures should be taken to reduce the transmission of HIV in this population.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of actovegin against acute oral mucositis through a randomized controlled multicenter trial for nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) patients treated by chemo-radiotherapy. Methods From February 2006 to May 2007,a total of 161 patients with newly diagnosed stage Ⅱ-ⅣA(1992 Fuzhou Stage) NPC were randomly assigned to the prevention group,the treatment group and the control group. All patients received current chemo-radiotherapy ± neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Radiation technique and dose were similar among the three groups. Intravenous infusion of aeovegin was started when radiation started in the prevention group and when grade 2 mueositis occurred in the treatment group,which was given 30 ml daily ,5 times per week until the end of radiotherapy. Criteria of NCI CTC 2.0 and VRS were used to evaluate acute oral mueositis and pain degree,respectively. Results 154 patients were eligible for the efficacy analysis,including 49 in the prevention group,53 in the treatment group and 52 in the control group. In the prevention group and the control group, the incidence was 31% and 56% (P=0.011) for grade 3-4 mucositis,59% and 83% (P=0.009) for grade 2-3 pain. In the treatment group and the control group,the corresponding number was 38% and 60% (P=0.023) ,70% and 90%, (P=0.014). The prevention group had a lower incidence(P=0.021) and longer average interval(P=0.009) of grade 2 mucositis when comparing with the control group. No drug-related adverse event was observed. Conclusions Prophylactic or therapeutic use of actovegin by intravenous infusion can significantly reduce the severity of ehemo-radiotherapy induced oral mucositis and pain. The prophylactic use may also postpone and decrease the incidence of grade 2 mucositis,which deserves clinic application.

Objective To explore the effect of astragalus extracts on adherence, migration, cell viability, microvascular formation, and eNOS expression in bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) of rats. Methods EPCs were cultured, isolated and identified in vitro and divided into four groups: low titer group (10-4 g/L of astragalus extracts), middle titer group (10-3 g/L of astragalus extracts), high titer group (10-2 g/L of astragalus extracts) and control group. The effects of astragalus extract on adhesion, migration or microvascular formation were observed under the inverted microscope and com?pared between all groups;Cell viability was detected by MTT assay;mRNA transcription and protein expression levels of en?dothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in EPCs were detected by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and Western blot re?spectively. Results Compared with the control group, cell adhesion, migration and microvascular formation of EPCs all en?hanced with addition of astragalus extracts in a dose dependent manner (F=15.256, 13.633, 97.549 respectively, and P <0.05 in all cases); Cell vitality of EPCs increased with administration of astragalus extracts in a time and dose dependant manner. (F=9.755 for time and F=10.18 for dose). mRNA transcription and protein expression of eNOS in EPCs were up-reg?ulated with addition of astragalus extracts in a dose dependent manner (F=56.356 and 77.125 respectively, and P<0.05 in both cases). Conclusion Astragalus extracts play important role in angiogenesis in EPCs probably through up-regulating expressions of eNOS.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of anticoagulant therapy with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) on coagulation and inflammation markers in sepsis patients.Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. Sixty sepsis patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Zhengzhou University People's Hospital from March 2012 to May 2014 were divided into control group and observation group, with 30 cases in each group. The observations were begun as soon as the diagnosis of sepsis was established, and the observation time was 7 days. All sepsis patients were treated according to the 2008 international sepsis treatment guidelines. Every patient in the observation group was subcutaneously injected with LMWH 0.6 mL on the first day of ICU admission, twice a day for 7 days. The blood from peripheral vein was collected at 1, 3, 5, 7 days of treatment, and CD62p, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), D-dimmer was determined by immunoturbidimetry, acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ (APACHEⅡ) score was recorded, and incidence of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) was also evaluated.Results There were no significant differences in values of all parameters, including CD62p, D-dimmer, IL-6, TNF-α, and APACHEⅡ score at 1 day of treatment. The values of all parameters in observation group were gradually decreased. CD62p at 3 days of treatment and D-dimmer, IL-6, TNF-α, and APACHEⅡ score at 5 days of treatment were significantly lower than those at 1 day of treatment. The values in the control group were decreased at first and then increased, as D-dimmer, IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly higher on the 5th day than those at 1 day of treatment. Compared with control group, CD62p, D-dimmer, IL-6, TNF-α and APACHEⅡ score on the 7th day of treatment were significantly lowered in observation group [CD62 (μg/L): 22.64±2.88 vs. 31.52±2.81, D-dimmer (g/L): 1.32±0.46 vs. 4.79±0.82, IL-6 (ng/L): 5.84±1.87 vs. 49.64±3.12, TNF-α (ng/L): 21.04±3.15 vs. 130.58±6.26, APACHEⅡ score: 9.71±2.02 vs. 14.17±2.38, allP< 0.05]. Correlation analysis showed that in observation group, CD62p, D-dimmer, IL-6, and TNF-α were positively correlated with APACHEⅡ score (r value was 0.907, 0.868, 0.880, 0.693, respectively, all P=0.000). The incidence of MODS in observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [26.7% (8/30) vs. 46.7% (14/30),χ2=3.943,P= 0.028].Conclusions LMWH, which was given early in sepsis, can significantly down-regulate the expression of CD62p, D-dimmer, IL-6 and TNF-α, and reduce the incidence of MODS. Some indicators regarding coagulation and inflammation can be used as supplementary indicators to severity scores, and it may be able to improve the accuracy of scoring systems for sepsis.
