Objective To explore the relationship between carbohydrate sulfotransferase 6(CHST6)expression level and prognosis in glioma patients and construct prognosis model by using bioinformatics method.Methods To analyze the difference of CHST6 expression in glioma.The median CHST6 expression was divided into high and low expression groups.The prognostic differences between the groups were analyzed.The expression level of CHST6 and different clinical features were analyzed by Cox regression,and the prediction and improvement model was established,and the validity improvement was compared with the control model.Results A total of 1204 medical records were included in TCGA and CGGA databases.CHST6 was significantly up-regulated in glioma samples(TCGA vs.GTEx,Z= 2.457,P<0.001;CGGA vs.GTEx,Z=4.800,P<0.001),and was an independent prognostic factor for glioma together with age,WHO grade,IDH mutation status,and 1p19q co-deletion(Cox analysis β=0.02,SE=0.01,HR=1.02,95%CI:1.01~1.04,P=0.01;C-Index 0.885,95%CI:0.862~0.908),has higher predictive validity than the control model(Improved model vs.Control model:TCGA d=0.036±0.004,SE=0.002,P=0.007;CGGA d=0.087±0.004,SE=0.002,P=0.001).Conclusion The high expression of CHST6 may be a predictor of poor prognosis and abnormal immune function in glioma patients.

Objective:
To understand the homosexual behavior and related factors among married MSM in Mianyang city.
Methods:
Between January and October in 2017, a snowball sampling method was adopted to carry out cross-sectional survey through questionnaires plus HIV testing among those MSM in Mianyang city. Logistic regression model was used to analyze homosexual behaviors and related factors among married MSM under study. Statistical analysis was used by EpiData 3.1 and SPSS 19.0 software.
Results:
A total of 234 MSM participated in this survey. The overall rate of homosexual behavior in these married MSM appeared as 94.9
