Objectives To investigate the markers of endothelial injury, adipocytokine and thrombotic activity and explore whether there are cardiovascular disease risk factors in antiretroviral-naive HIV patients. Methods Clinical data and venous blood samples were collected from 43 anti-retroviral naive HIV-infected patients during February -October 2009 in our center, and compared with 17 healthy subjects.Plasma leptin, adiponectin, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 ( sICAM-1 ), D-dimer were measured by ELISA. Four markers and cholesterol, triglyceride, fasting plasma glucose were compared between the two groups. The CD4+ T cells and percentages of CD38, HLA-DR on CD8+ T were determined by flow cytometry and plasma HIV copies were detected with bDNA analyzer among HIV-infected participants.Spearman correlations between the significant markers and CD4+ T cells, CD8+ CD38+/CD8+, CD8+ HLA-DR +/CD8+, HIV viral load were examined among HIV-infected participants. Analyses were conducted by using Stata version 7. Results Thirty-eight of the 43 patients were sexually infected by HIV and the median absolute CD4+ T cell count was ( 133 ± 82 ) cells/μl, HIV RNA was (4. 42 ± 0. 66 ) lg copies/ml. HIV-infected patients, compared with healthy subjects, had lower leptin [11.41 (7.91,14. 53 )μg/L vs 55.31( 16. 49,229.65 ) μg/L, P= 0. 0005], adiponectin [1.79 ( 1.40,4. 00 ) mg/L vs 3.36 ( 2. 92,4. 18 ) mg/L,P =0. 003] and higher sICAM-1 [1.71 (1.11,2.40) mg/L vs 0. 69 ( 0. 57, 0. 80 ) mg/L, P = 0. 0000].No significant differences exist in cholesterol, triglyceride, fasting plasma glucose. For HIV-infected participants, sICAM-1 tended to correlate with CD8+ CD38+/CD8+ and HIV viral load ( r= 0.3378, P= 0.0267;r = 0.3904,P = 0.0096). Conclusion Patients with untreated HIV infection have lower leptin, adiponectin and higher sICAM-1 levels and the relationship of these markers to HIV-mediated atherosclerotic risk requires further study.

Objective:
To understand the current situation of intimate partner violence (IPV) among young students in Chengdu and its relationship with emotion regulation self-efficacy,and to provide a reference for conducting the education on close relationship.
Methods:
Totally 1 041 young students with love experience in Chengdu were selected by by stratified cluster random sampling to explore potentional factors related to IPV.
Results:
The incidence of IPV perpetration among young students with love experience was as high as 69.6% and the incidence of IPV victimization was 62.2%. Young students had committed(65.4%) or been subjected(64.0%) to more than three intimate partner violence. 59.92% young students were both perpetrators and victims of IPV. Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that compared with young female students, young male students were not prone to commit violence in intimate relationships(OR=0.59), but may become victims of IPV(OR=1.91). More than half a year in love(OR=1.70), cohabitation(OR=2.47), bullying by peers (OR=1.54) and interference by parents (OR=1.63) were risk factors for IPV perpetration. Among them, more than half a year in love (OR=1.51) and cohabitants (OR=2.52) were positively associated with IPV victimization. The efficacy of managing negative emotions was a negatively associated with IPV perpetration (OR=0.96) and victimization(OR=0.97)(P<0.05).
Conclusion
The phenomenon of intimate partner violence among young students is more common, which is closely related to the rearing style of young students, peer relationship, love relationship and the ability to manage negative emotions, which should be paid attention to.
