Objective:
To investigate the hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge among clinicians in Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide the evidence for intensified training and improved diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis C among clinicians.
Methods:
In November, 2021, clinicians were sampled using a stratified random sampling method from a city-level and a county (district)-level hepatitis C designated hospital in Jiaxing City. A questionnaire survey was performed using the Questionnaire for Hepatitis C Prevention and Control Knowledge among Clinicians, and the awareness of basic knowledge, professional knowledge and related knowledge about hepatitis C prevention and control among clinicians were descriptively analyzed.
Results:
A total of 186 questionnaires were allocated and 179 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate was 96.24%. The respondents included 107 men (59.78%) and 72 women (40.22%) and had a mean age of (37.06±9.46) years. There were 107 respondents with a bachelor degree (59.78%), 56 with junior professional titles (31.28%), and 170 from non-infectious disease departments (94.97%). The awareness of basic hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge was 96.09%, and the awareness of “Transfusion of blood containing hepatitis C virus may acquire hepatitis C” was high (98.88%), and the awareness of “Hepatitis C can be cured” was low (77.09%). The awareness of professional hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge was 3.91% to 100.00%, and the awareness of “Pathogens of hepatitis C” (100.00%) and “Recommended screening populations for hepatitis C” (86.59%) was high, while the awareness of “There are two categories of hepatitis C cases: clinically diagnosed cases and confirmed cases” (3.91%) and “Clinical diagnosis of hepatitis C: positive anti-HCV antibody + any one of abnormal liver function or epidemiological history or clinical symptoms” (3.91%) was low. The awareness rates of “The state has included antiviral agents against hepatitis C into medical insurance” was and “Antiviral agents against hepatitis C are reimbursed in outpatient and inpatient departments of our hospital” were 81.56% and 59.78%, respectively. There were 69 clinicians participating hepatitis C-related training within one year (38.55%), and the awareness of clinicians that had participated in hepatitis C-related training had a higher awareness rate of basic hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge than those without participation (100.00% vs. 93.64%, P<0.05).
Conclusion
The awareness of basic hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge is high among clinicians in Jiaxing City; however, the training on diagnosis and classification criteria of hepatitis C and related medical insurance policy require to be improved.

Objective:
To understand the epidemiological characteristics and differences of HIV-positive cases among 15-24 years old in Jiaxing city and provide evidence for the development of targeted prevention and control measures.
Methods:
A descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the data of HIV cases aged 15-24 reported in Jiaxing from 1999 to 2018.
Results:
A total of 375 cases of young HIV were reported in 1999-2018, with an average age of 21.29±1.90 years, of which 42 were students. The ratio of male to female was 2.47∶1. The proportion of foreign household registration was higher (76%, 285 cases). The proportion of off-campus youth cases in total cases showed a downward trend(χ2=8.26, P=0.00), but the proportion of student cases showed an upward trend(χ2=15.73, P<0.01). Off-campus youth cases were mainly heterosexual transmission(59.16%, 197 cases), and the students’ cases were mainly homosexual transmission(88.10%, 37 cases). There were significant differences in gender, age, household registration, education level, route of transmission, late detection, CD4 level and source of detection among students and off-campus adolescents(P<0.05).
Conclusion
The prevalence of AIDS in adolescents and students is worthy of attention. The characteristics of adolescents inside and outside the school are different. Targeted prevention measures should be taken to reduce the harm of AIDS to young people.

Objective:To compare the effect of temporal external fixator and digital guide plate in the immediate reconstruction of mandibular defect after segmental mandibulectomy.Methods:The clinical data of all patients who received segmental mandibulectomy and immediate mandibular reconstruction with free vascularized bone graft by a single surgical team in the Department of Oral & Maxillofacial-Head & Neck Oncology, Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from August 2016 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. According to different auxiliary methods, the patients were divided into temporal external fixator (TEF) group and computer aided design-manufacture (CAD-CAM) group. The width of mandible, length of mandibular body and vertical dimension of inferior 1/3 face were measured by CT before and one month after surgery, and the difference before and after surgery was calculated to evaluate the surgical effect. SPSS 19.0 was used for statistical analysis, and the data were expressed as Mean ± SD. Independent sample t-test was used for comparison of indexes of surgical time and surgical effect evaluation between the two groups, and P<0.05 indicated statistically significant differences. Results:A total of 29 patients were enrolled, including 13 patients in TEF group, 4 males and 9 females, aged (47.7±14.5) years, including 7 ameloblastomas, 2 squamous cell carcinomas, 2 abnormal proliferation of bone fibers, 1 rhabdomyosarcoma and 1 osteosarcoma. In the CAD-CAM group, there were 16 cases, including 11 males and 5 females, aged (42.4±19.7) years, including 10 ameloblastomas, 3 squamous cell carcinomas, 1 osteoblastoma, 1 otogenic fibromyxoma and 1 osteosarcoma. The bone grafts in 29 patients were all alive, the wounds healed primarily, and the occlusal relationship and facial contour of the patients were fine. After 3 years follow-up, there were no postoperative complications and tumor recurrence. The function of the supply area was not affected. The operative time was (7.12±1.40) h in the TEF group and (4.72±1.10) h in the CAD-CAM group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P<0.01). In the TEF group, the difference of the width of mandible, length of mandibular body and vertical dimension of inferior 1/3 face were (1.08±1.12) mm, (2.08±1.61) mm, (1.77±3.15) mm, respectively; CAD-CAM group were (0.88±1.15) mm, (0.94±1.34) mm, (0.87±1.47) mm, respectively, and there was no statistical significance between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:It took significantly longer to perform immediate mandibular reconstruction assisted by TEF than that assisted by CAD-CAM in surgery, but both groups achieved better surgical results. It is simpler and more effective to use TEF when time is urgent or technology is too limited to carry out preoperative digital design.
