Objective: To analyze the use of preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among male students who had sex with men (MSM) with different sexual behavior patterns using potential categories, so as to provide evidence for determining the use patterns of PrEP consistent with MSM. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted by proportional sampling method on MSM in 31 provincial administrative regions in mainland China from 20 October to 30 December 2021, a total of 1 040 students were selected for the study. Latent variable analyses were conducted on a total of seven sexual behavioral characteristics, including knowledge of sexual partner HIV infection, frequency of condom use, number of sexual partners, engaging in group sex, provision of commercial sex, use of sex aids, and history of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the past year. And demographic characteristics were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis. The rates of PrEP awareness, willingness to use and usage rate in different sexual behavior risk groups were investigated. Results: Student MSM could be divided into two potential category groups:a lowrisk behavior group (82.4%) and a highrisk behavior group (17.6%). The PrEP usage rate (15.8%) was higher in the highrisk behavior group, and the difference was statistically significant compared to the lowrisk behavior group (7.2%) (χ2=13.43, P<0.05). Student MSM residing in the northeast, south, and northwest of China, in the pilot city, and with a sex role of "0.5" (possible acceptance and insertion of sexual behavior) were more likely to be in the highrisk behavior group (OR=3.13, 3.07, 3.87, 2.22, 1.66, P<0.05). Conclusion Student MSM in highrisk and lowrisk sexual differs in the behavior of PrEP, and targeted interventions should be implemented to promote the use of PrEP and reduce HIV infection in this population.

Objective: To investigate the current situation and related factors of antiretroviral therapy (ART) among HIV infected male students engaging in men who have sex with men (MSM), so as to provide the reference data for HIV prevention and treatment. Methods: In November 2021, 137 MSM students from 31 provincial administrative regions in China were recruited. An online survey was conducted to collect data on demographic characteristics, ART status, CD4 count, and HIV viral load before treatment. Logistic regression was used to analyze the factors related the effectiveness of ART in MSM. Results: Among the included research subjects, 14.6% had late detection of HIV,97.1% of participants were currently undergoing ART. Among those whose ART duration was less than 6 months, while 76.9% were undergoing ART. Logistic regression indicated that HIV infected students who received ART for more than 24 months ( OR =5.28, 95% CI =1.38-20.22) had a higher rate of successful HIV suppression. HIV infected students who reported physical sensory side effects ( OR =0.08, 95% CI =0.01-0.71) and cognitive side effects ( OR =0.28, 95% CI =0.09-0.90) were more likely to experience failure of ARI inhibition ( P <0.05). Conclusions There is still room for improvement in the efficacy of ART among MSM students. Strategies to improve treatment adherence must consider individual variances among HIV infected patients and the side effects of medications when designing treatment plans.

The clinical features,imaging data and prognosis of 2 patients with spinal cord infarction were summarized.Both patients presented with acute onset paraplegia and urinary retention.Spinal MRI showed high T2 signal and limited diffusion in the spinal cord.Patient 1 had spinal inflammatory changes and disc calcification and herniation at the T6 level.Cervical disc herniation was found in case 2 and the spinal lesions were all adjacent to the spinal infarct plane,but could not directly cause acute or chronic spinal cord compression.The clinical manifestations of two patients were acute stroke events.After the diagnosis of spinal cord infarction was confirmed,anti-platelet aggregation or anticoagulation and rehabilitation therapy were given,and the limb function of the patients gradually recovered to close to normal.The incidence of fibrocartilage embolism(FCE)associated with spinal disc disease is rare,and there is no consensus on treatment.This case provides experience and broadens thinking for the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of spinal cord infarction.

Objective:To analyze the prognosis of glucose metabolism and its impacting factors at 6-12 weeks postpartum in patients with abnormal blood glucose during pregnancy.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, a total of 192 patients with abnormal blood glucose during pregnancy enrolled and delivered in the maternity clinic of Daxing Teaching Hospital of Capital Medical University from December 1, 2019 to December 31, 2020 were collected. The 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was applied for diabetes screening at 6-12 weeks after delivery. According to the results of postpartum blood glucose, the patients were divided into two groups: postpartum normal blood glucose group (148 cases) and abnormal blood glucose group (44 cases). Hypothesis testing was used to compare the clinical data before, during and after the pregnancy between the two groups. Multi-factor logistic regression was performed to analyze the influencing factors of postpartum abnormal blood glucose in patients with abnormal blood glucose during pregnancy.Results:Among the 192 patients with abnormal blood glucose during pregnancy, the incidence of postpartum abnormal blood glucose was 22.92% (44/192), including 6 cases of diabetes mellitus (DM) (13.64%), 38 cases of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) (86.36%). Neck circumference, waist circumference, multiparous women and insulin use during pregnancy in postpartum abnormal blood glucose group were all significantly higher than those in postpartum normal blood glucose group [34.25(33.00, 36.00) vs 33.55 (32.00, 35.00) cm, 87.00 (82.00, 93.00) vs 84.00 (78.00, 90.00) cm, 54.55% vs 37.16%, 18.18% vs 6.76%] (all P<0.05). Neck circumference ( OR=1.315, 95% CI: 1.026-1.685), multiparous women ( OR=2.261, 95% CI: 1.057-4.836), insulin use during pregnancy ( OR=3.767, 95% CI: 1.236-11.478) were positively correlated with the occurrence of postpartum abnormal blood glucose (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The incidence of postpartum abnormal blood glucose is high at 6-12 weeks postpartum in patients with abnormal blood glucose during pregnancy. Neck circumference, waist circumference, parity and insulin use during pregnancy are important impacting factors of postpartum abnormal blood glucose.

SARS-CoV-2 infection causes complicated clinical manifestations with variable multi-organ injuries, however, the underlying mechanism, in particular immune responses in different organs, remains elusive. In this study, comprehensive transcriptomic alterations of 14 tissues from rhesus macaque infected with SARS-CoV-2 were analyzed. Compared to normal controls, SARS-CoV-2 infection resulted in dysregulation of genes involving diverse functions in various examined tissues/organs, with drastic transcriptomic changes in cerebral cortex and right ventricle. Intriguingly, cerebral cortex exhibited a hyperinflammatory state evidenced by significant upregulation of inflammation response-related genes. Meanwhile, expressions of coagulation, angiogenesis and fibrosis factors were also up-regulated in cerebral cortex. Based on our findings, neuropilin 1 (NRP1), a receptor of SARS-CoV-2, was significantly elevated in cerebral cortex post infection, accompanied by active immune response releasing inflammatory factors and signal transmission among tissues, which enhanced infection of the central nervous system (CNS) in a positive feedback way, leading to viral encephalitis. Overall, our study depicts a multi-tissue/organ transcriptomic landscapes of rhesus macaque with early infection of SARS-CoV-2, and provides important insights into the mechanistic basis for COVID-19-associated clinical complications.

Objective:To investigate the correlation of the expression of forkhead transcription factor O1 (FOXO1) with clinicopathological features and the prognosis in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods:The data of 42 patients newly diagnosed with DLBCL in Hebei General Hospital admitted from June 2012 to January 2020 were collected. The expressions of FOXO1, phosphorylated FOXO1 (p-FOXO1) in DLBCL tissues were detected by using immunohistochemistry. The association of FOXO1 expression with clinicopathological features and the prognosis in DLBCL patients was retrospectively analyzed.Results:The positive rate of FOXO1 was 42.9% (18/42) and the positive rate of p-FOXO1 was 28.6% (12/42) in DLBCL tissues. There were no statistically significant differences in the positive rates of FOXO1 and p-FOXO1 among patients stratified by gender, age, Ann Arbor staging, immunophenotype, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score, lactate dehydrogenase, international prognostic index, β 2-microglobulin (β 2-MG) and primary sites (all P > 0.05). The positive rate of FOXO1 in patients with non-B symptoms was higher than that in those with B symptoms [53.6% (15/28) vs. 21.4% (3/14), χ2=3.938, P=0.047], and there was no statistically significant difference in the positive rate of p-FOXO1 among patients with or without B symptoms ( P > 0.05). The 2-year overall survival (OS) rate in FOXO1 positive group was higher than that in FOXO1 negative group (90.9% vs. 66.7%), the 2-year OS rate in p-FOXO1 positive group was lower than that in p-FOXO1 negative group (50.0% vs. 85.0%), and the differences were not statistically significant (all P > 0.05). Among patients without B symptoms, the 2-year OS rate in FOXO1 positive group was higher than that in FOXO1 negative group (100.0% vs. 50.0%, χ2=5.486, P=0.019). Among patients with primary lymph node, elevated β 2-MG and non-B symptoms, the 2-year OS rate in p-FOXO1 negative expression group was higher than that in p-FOXO1 positive group (100.0% vs. 50.0%, 100.0% vs. 25.0%, 91.7% vs. 33.3%), and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:FOXO1 may be involved in the development and progression of DLBCL, and FOXO1 positive expression may indicate the good prognosis of patients. These results suggest that p-FOXO1 positive expression may be related with poor prognosis.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the effect of couple-centered psychological intervention on breast cancer patients.Methods:Randomized controlled trials published in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, JBI, CNKI, Wanfang, Vip and CBM database on the effect of psychological intervention on breast cancer patients with husband and wife as the center were searched by computer. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the database to September 2020. Two reviewer independently conducted literature screening, data extraction and literature quality evaluation according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and Meta analysis was carried out using RevMan 5.3 software.Results:A total of 879 patients were included in 11 articles. Meta analysis results showed that the couple-centered psychological intervention not only improved the quality of life, but also improved the anxiety of breast cancer patients ( SMD=1.54, 95% CI 0.22-2.86, P=0.02) and depression ( SMD=1.22, 95% CI 0.12-2.33, P=0.03). Conclusions:After psychological intervention, the anxiety and depression of breast cancer patients were improved and the quality of life was also improved. Due to the inconsistency in the mode, frequency and evaluation index of psychological intervention, more large samples and high-quality studies are needed to further verify the effect of couple-centered psychological intervention on breast cancer patients and spouses centered on husband and wife.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of CT angiography (CTA) in investigating vascular dilatation of anterior choroidal artery (AChA) and posterior communicating artery (PComA) in patients with Moyamoya syndrome (MMS).Methods:From July 2017 to July 2018, the clinical and imaging data of MMS patients with brain CTA and DSA performed were analyzed retrospectively. According to DSA results, 71 MMS patients were divided into unilateral MMS group (20 cases, 20 hemispheres) and bilateral MMS group (51 cases, 102 hemispheres). There were 20 cases in unilateral MMS group, 10 males and 10 females, with an average age of (45±9) years; 51 cases in bilateral MMS group, 24 males and 27 females, with an average age of (44±12) years. The hemispheres were divided into dilated group and non-dilated group according to the dilatation of AChA or PComA. Kappa analysis was used to evaluate the consistency of two inspection methods to judge the expansion of AChA. The lumen diameters of PComA, P1 and P2 segments of posterior cerebral artery were measured on CTA images, and the ratio of PComA/P1 and PComA/P2 were calculated. The repeatability of CTA measures was evaluated by intra-group correlation coefficient. Independent sample t-test was used to compare CTA measurement results between PComA dilated group and non-dilated group, and ROC curve was drawn to calculate the best threshold for diagnosis of PComA expansion. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CTA measures were calculated. Results:The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CTA diagnosis of AChA expansion inunilateral MMS were all 100.00%. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CTA diagnosis of AChA expansionin bilateral MMS were 90.00%, 93.90%, 93.14%, 78.26% and 97.47%. Compared with DSA, there was no significant difference in the diagnostic performance of AChA expansion between single and bilateral MMS diagnosed by CTA ( P>0.05). The two methods had strong consistency (Kappa value was 1.00 and 0.79 respectively, P<0.01). A total of 46 patients (69 cerebral hemispheres) were included in the evaluation of PComA. PComA/P1 (1.09±0.41) and PComA/P2 (0.86±0.13) in the dilated group were significantly higher than those in the non-dilated group (0.71±0.21 for PComA/P1 and 0.75±0.23 for PComA/P2). The differences were statistically significant ( t=-4.59, -2.50, P<0.05). The best threshold in diagnosing PComA expansion was 0.87 (PComA/P1) and 0.76 (PComA/P2), and the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 84.62%, 83.33%, 84.06%, 86.84%, 80.65% and 79.49%, 60.00%, 71.01%, 72.09% and 69.23%, respectively. Compared with DSA, the Kappa value of CTA measures in diagnosis of PComA expansion was 0.68 (PComA/P1) and 0.40 (PComA/P2), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:CTA has a strong consistency with DSA in evaluating the AChA expansion in MMS. When the PComA/P1 ratio on CTA is greater than 0.87, it can be used as the diagnosis criterion for PComA expansion.
