Objective:
To investigate the AIDS-related knowledge, attitudes and practice among university students in a pilot site of AIDS health education in Zhoushan City, so as to provide the reference for AIDS health education in universities.
Methods:
University students were recruited from Zhejiang Ocean University using a stratified cluster sampling method in 2018 and 2020, and the AIDS-related knowledge, attitudes and practice were collected using a questionnaire survey.
Results:
A total of 2 862 and 2 850 students were surveyed in 2018 and 2020, including 1 429 ( 49.93% ) and 1 414 ( 49.61% ) male students, respectively. The overall awareness of AIDS-related knowledge was 86.62% and 94.11% in 2018 and 2020, respectively. There were 544 ( 19.01% ) and 394 ( 13.82% ) students that were in favor of one-night stand, 308 ( 10.76% ) and 198 ( 6.95% ) students that were in favor of commercial sexual behaviors, and there were 59 ( 2.06% ) and 34 ( 1.19% ) students that had casual sexual behaviors within one year, and 20 ( 0.70% ) and 8 students ( 0.28% ) with commercial sexual behaviors within one year. There was a significant difference in the awareness of AIDS-related knowledge among students with different years at the university ( P<0.05 ). The lowest awareness of AIDS-related knowledge was seen in freshmen in 2018 ( 81.74% ), and the highest awareness was found in freshmen in 2020 (97.17% ). The proportions of being in favor of one-night stand ( 2018: 31.35% vs. 6.70%; 2020: 22.07% vs. 5.71%; P<0.05 ), being in favor of commercial sexual behaviors ( 2018: 19.91% vs. 2.23%; 2020: 12.09% vs. 1.88%; P<0.05), having casual sexual behaviors within one year (2018: 3.71% vs. 0.42%; 2020: 2.19% vs. 0.21%; P<0.05), and having commercial sexual behaviors within one year ( 2018: 1.33% vs. 0.07%; 2020: 0.50% vs. 0.07%; P<0.05 ) were significantly greater in male students than in female students.
Conclusions
The pilot AIDS health education is effective to increase the awareness of AIDS-related knowledge, possess the correct attitudes towards sexual behaviors and reduce high-risk sex behaviors among university students in Zhoushan City. Intensified AIDS health education is recommended among senior and male university students.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic performance of different thyroid imaging reporting and data systems (TI-RADS) in the diagnosis of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) .Methods:A total of 160 thyroid nodules diagnosed as MTC by postoperative pathology from Aug. 2011 to Aug. 2022 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were included. Additionally, 160 papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC) and 160 benign nodules were randomly selected as controls during the same period. Differences in gender, age, nodule diameter and various ultrasound features were observed. The nodules were classified according to American College of Radiology (ACR) TI-RADS, artificial intelligence (AI) TI-RADS and Chinese (C TI-RADS). Then, receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) were plotted to calculate the diagnostic value. The Kendall concordance coefficient was used to evaluate the interobserver consistency of each TI-RADS system.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in gender among the three groups ( χ2=1.17, P=0.558). However, significant differences were observed in age and nodule diameter ( F=12.08,40.12, P<0.001 for both). The area under ROC (AUC) for diagnosing MTC and benign nodules using ACR, AI, and C-TIRADS were 0.762, 0.773, and 0.761, respectively, with no statistically significant differences ( Z=1.33, 0.01, 0.87, P=0.183, 0.994, 0.386). However, the sensitivity of C TI-RADS (87.5%) was lower than that of ACR and AI TI-RADS (both 95.0%) ( P=0.018). After combining the biopsy threshold, the false negative rate of C-TIRADS was lower than that of ACR (30.6% vs. 41.3%) ( P=0.048) and AI TIRADS (30.6% vs. 43.1%) ( P=0.020). The inter-observer diagnostic consistency of C-TIRADS was superior to ACR (0.884 vs. 0.819, P<0.001) and AI TIRADS (0.884 vs. 0.839) ( P<0.001) . Conclusions:AI and ACR TI-RADS have higher sensitivity in diagnosing MTC, while C TI-RADS has a lower puncture missed diagnosis rate. AI has similar diagnostic performance to ACR TI-RADS and can replace ACR TI-RADS.

BACKGROUND:Patients with degenerative cervical spondylosis often suffer from changed varicosity of the cervical spine,unbalanced neck-shoulder muscular strength,and descending power. OBJECTIVE:To probe into the correlation between sagittal curvature parameters and pain threshold for neck-shoulder muscles in degenerative cervical spondylosis. METHODS:Totally 50 patients with degenerative cervical spondylosis received treatment at the 3D Printed Outpatient Center of Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2022 to March 2023 were included in the study.After excluding the 10 patients of cervical lateral projection that failed to meet the measurement conditions,the cervical lateral projections were shot to measure the following iconography parameters:Borden value and C2-7 Cobb angle as well as pain thresholds on the midpoint of the superior trapezius muscle in bilateral bundles and at 1 cm beside the C5-6 interspike.The correlation between sagittal curvature parameters and pain threshold of neck-shoulder muscles in degenerative cervical spondylosis was analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The Borden value of sagittal curvature showed a moderately positive correlation with the bundle pain threshold in the left upper trapezius muscle,the bundle pain threshold in the right upper trapezius muscle,and the pain threshold at the 1 cm of the left side beside the C5-6 interspike(r=0.498,P<0.01;r=0.448,P<0.05;r=0.405,P<0.05)and a weak positive correlation with the pain threshold at the 1 cm of the right side beside the C5-6 interspike(r=0.322,P<0.05).(2)The C2-7 Cobb angle showed a weak positive correlation with the left squared myalgia threshold(r=0.355,P<0.05),and there was no correlation with the pain threshold of the left trapezius muscle and the pain threshold at the 1 cm of both sides beside the C5-6 interspike.(3)There was a correlation between the pain threshold of the neck-shoulder muscles,and a high correlation between the pain threshold of the left and right muscles and the pain threshold within the left and right side muscles,indicating that the neck-shoulder muscles are consistent and may be related to the coordination of the neck-shoulder movements.
