Objective To understand the viral etiology of acute respiratory infection in Kunming area. Methods We collected the nasopharyngeal swab of patients with acute respiratory tract infection,and used multiple reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method to detect 15 kinds of respiratory viral pathogens. Results Among the 600 samples,144 strains of viruses were detected, the positive rate was 24%,among which the highest positive rate was RSV (49/600,8.2%),followed by PIV (32/600,5.3%) HRV (27/600,4.5%) and IFV27 (27/600,4.5%) . The respiratory virus infection situation was different in every age group, groups of the highest virus positive rate was ≤1 age group (72/216, 33.3%);The respiratory virus infection situation in different seasons was different, the virus positive rate of the first quarter was the highest (85/144, 59%) . Conclusion RSV was the main virus pathogen of acute respiratory tract infections in Kunming area in 2011 years, the detection rate in sick children was the highest among all patients;the detection rate in the first quarter was higher than other quarters.

To analyze influenza pathogen spectrum in Yunnan province during 2009-2014 years, and analyze HA and NA genes of influenza A H1N1. Analysis was made on the monitoring date of influenza cases in Yunnan province in recent 6 years, 23 strains of influenza virus of HA and NA gene was sequenced and analyzed by MEGA 5 software to construct phylogenetic tree. 4 times of influenza AH1N1 epidemic peak were monitored from 2009-2014 years in Yunnan Province, as the nucleic acid detection results of influenza A H1N1 accounted for 28.8% of the total. The sequencing result showed that HA and NA gene were divided into 3 groups, one was detected with H275Y mutation strains. Influenza A H1N1 is one of the important subtypes in Yunnan province and their genes have divided into three branches during the period of 2009-2014 years, the vast majority of influenza a H1N1 are still sensitive to neuraminidase inhibitors.

AIM:To investigate the effects of down-regulated miR-9 expression on the proliferation , invasion and migration of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells.METHODS:Human NPC CNE1 and CNE2 cells were transfect-ed with the inhibitor of miR-9 by Lipofectamine to down-regulate the expression of miR-9, and the cells transfected with an inhibitor control were also set up .The cell proliferation and cell cycle were evaluated by CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry . The cell invasion and migration abilities were detected by Transwell invasion and wound -healing assays .Immunoblotting was applied to analyze the levels of the proteins .RESULTS:Compared with control group , inhibition of miR-9 expression in the NPC cells by transfection of the miR-9 inhibitor significantly decreased the proliferation ability (P<0.05).The per-centages of the cells in G 0/G1 phase [ CNE2: ( 57.96 ±1.39 )% vs ( 47.93 ±1.76 )%, P<0.05; CNE1: ( 51.24 ± 0.88)%vs (48.29 ±0.39)%, P<0.05] were significantly increased.The migration distances [CNE2: (186.50 ± 7.94)μm vs (247.56 ±15.56)μm, P<0.05;CNE1:(139.06 ±16.73)μm vs (230.66 ±14.27)μm, P<0.01] and the invasion ability of the CNE2 cells (43.00 ±3.17 vs 65.80 ±5.20, P<0.01) were also significantly inhibited .Moreo-ver, the tumor cells transfected with the inhibitors produced lower β-catenin.CONCLUSION:Inhibition of miR-9 expres-sion suppresses the proliferation , invasion and migration of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells .

Objective To investigate the correlation between early blood pressure variability and early neurological deterioration (END) in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods Inpatients with acute ischemic stroke were collected prospectively.The blood pressure values of the enrolled patients were recorded continuously for 72 h after admission.The mean value (mean),maximum value (max),differences betw een the maximum and minimum (max-min),standard deviation (SD),and coefficient of variation (CV) for the systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were calculated.END was as an increase of at least 2 in the highest score of the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) compared to the baseline.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent correlation between the different blood pressure variability parameters and END following acute ischemic stroke after adjusting the confounding factors.Results A total of 128 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled,including 53 females and 75 males,and their mean age was 63.30 ± 11.82 years.After standard treatment,35 patients (27.34％) developed END within 72 h after admission.There were significant differences in age,sex,diabetes mellitus,baseline NIHSS,C-reactive protein and SBPmax,SBP in,SBPSD,SBPCv,DBPmax,DBP max-min,DBPsD,and DBPCv between END group and non-END group (all P ＜0.05).Multivariate logisticregression analysis showed that SBPmax-min(odds ratio [OR] 1.040,95％ confidence interval [CI] 1.014-1.067,SBPsD(OR 1.191,95％ CI 1.052-1.347),SBPCv(OR 1.317,95％ CI 1.100-1.578),DBP max-min(OR 1.076,95％ CI 1.018-1.138),DBPsD(OR 1.508,95％ CI 1.128-2.016),and DBPCv(OR 1.338,95％ CI 1.093-1.638) in blood pressure variability indices were the independent risk factors for END in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Conclusion Blood pressure variability is significantly associated with END within 72 h after admission in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

With the development of economy,increase of cultural exchanges and changes of people's ideology in China,the number of female sex workers (FSWs) increased rapidly under the influence of various social factors.The diverse motivations for women engaging in commercial sex have been observed.Foreign researchers have conducted some surveys of factors associated with female commercial sex,while few such studies were conducted among FSWs in China.This paper summarizes the progress in the research of reasons for women engaging in commercial sex both at home and abroad to provide evidence for future study.

Objective To understand the gender characteristics,HIV/AIDS related knowledge awareness and behaviors of transgender women.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among the transgender women recruited through snowball sampling in Jinan in 2014,and descriptive epidemiologic analysis was conducted on the survey results.Results A total of 55 transgender women were surveyed,all of them were male physically and female psychologically.Serious gender conflict occurred in 27 subjects (49.1％),and very serious gender conflict occurred in 8 subjects (14.5％).Thirty subjects dressed up as a man in social life,accounting for 54.5％;25 subjects dressed up as a women in social life,accounting for 45.5％.The average awareness rate of HIV/AIDS related knowledge was 57.9％(22/38).The awareness of knowledge about AIDS associated behaviors,such as multi sex partner and anal sex,was poor.For the lovers or sexual partners,58.2％ of the subjects (32/55) would choose males and 50.9％ of the subjects (28/55) had chosen males,and for the sex partner at latest sex,63.6％(35/55) of the subjects had chosen males.Up to 56.3％ of the subjects had sex with casual sexual partners (net friends and partners of one-night stand) at latest sex behavior.Among the subjects surveyed,18(32.7％) never used condoms;29(52.7％) used condoms occasionally;4(7.3％) used condoms frequently and 4(7.3％) used condoms at each sex.Conclusions AIDS associated high risk behaviors were common among the transgender women,such as unprotected anal sex,multiple sexual partners,frequent sex and poor condom use.It is necessary to conduct the study of the HIV infection prevention in transgender women.

Objective:To compare the efficacy between drug-coated balloon (DCB) combined with bare metal stenting (BMS) and plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA) with BMS placement in the treatment of femoral-popliteal TASC D lesions.Methods:According to the Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC) D grade femoral-popliteal lesions as the standard, we enrolled 115 cases (120 limbs) receiving DCB combined with BMS (group DCB, 37 limbs in 36 cases) and POBA combined with BMS (group POBA, 83 limbs in 79 cases) from Jan 2017 to Mar 2020 to observe patency rate, freedom from clinical-drived target lesion reintervention rate (FCD-TLR) and complications.Results:The mean follow-up time was 18.1 months and the average occlusion length was (29.1±6.5)mm. In group DCB vs group POBA, the primary patency rates at 3-month, 9-month, 1-year and 2-year were 89.2% vs. 86.7%, 86.4% vs. 76.9%, 66.8% vs. 70.9% and 63.1% vs. 56.9%, respectively ( P=0.73); FCD-TLRs were 100.0% vs. 95.1%, 94.3% vs. 82.3% , 78.5% vs. 80.6% and 74.1% vs. 68.9% ( P=0.69), respectively. Conclusion:The benefit of DCB combined with BMS over POBA combined with BMS in improving the early primary patency rate and reducing FCD-TLR was not definite.
