Objective: To investigate the status of condom use and its influencing factors among men who have sex with men (MSM), so as to provide a basis for improving condom utilization rates and AIDS prevention and control in this population. Methods: From May to October 2024, a snowball sampling method was employed to recruit MSM in Songjiang District, Shanghai Municipality. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect data on demographic characteristics, AIDS-related knowledge, sexual behaviors, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), and condom use in the past six months. Multivariable logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for consistent condom use. Results: A total of 921 MSM were surveyed, with a median age of 29.00 (interquartile range, 9.00) years. Among them, 697 (75.68%) were aware of AIDS-related knowledge, 826 (89.69%) expressed willingness to use PrEP, and 835 (90.66%) were willing to use PEP. Additionally, 787 (85.45%) MSM reported their age at first homosexual intercourse as ≥18 years, while 519 (56.35%) reported consistent condom use in the past six months. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that MSM who were aware of AIDS-related knowledge (OR=0.582, 95% CI: 0.423-0.801), willing to use PrEP (OR =0.611, 95% CI: 0.385-0.969), and whose age at first homosexual intercourse was <18 years (OR=0.480, 95% CI: 0.330-0.700) were less likely to consistent use condoms. Conclusion The proportion of consistent condom use among the MSM remains relatively low, which is primarily associated with AIDS-related knowledge, willingness to use PrEP, and the age at first homosexual intercourse.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of Shexiang Baoxin pill in patients with unstable angina pectoris(UAP)and type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)using meta-analysis.Methods:We searched the databases including Pubmed,Web of Science,EMbase,EBSCO,Cochrane,CBM,CNKI and Wanfang for randomized controlled trials(RCTs)about the therapeutic effect of Shexiang Baoxin pill on patients with UAP and T2DM from the establish-ment to January 20th,2023.RevMan 5.3 software was used to perform meta-analysis to investigate the effect of Shexiang Baoxin pill on angina improvement and blood glucose fluctuation in patients with UAP and T2DM.Results:Six eligible literatures were included,including 346 patients in Shexiang Baoxin pill group and control group respec-tively.The results of meta-analysis showed that compared to participants in control group,those in Shexiang Baox-in pill group had significantly higher clinical overall efficiency(OR=3.13,95％CI 2.01～4.89,P＜0.001),and significantly lower angina attack frequency(MD=-0.66,95％CI-0.79～-0.52,P＜0.001),duration of angi-na(MD=-3.10,95％CI-4.11～-2.09,P＜0.001),and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose(MD=-1.79,95％CI-2.00～-1.57,P＜0.001).Conclusion:Shexiang Baoxin pill could improve clinical overall efficiency,an-gina attack frequency and duration,and reduce 2-hour postprandial blood glucose in patients with unstable angina pectoris and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of extended abdominal wall resec-tion combined with reconstruction for abdominal wall aggressive fibromatosis (AF).Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 70 patients with abdominal wall AF who were admitted to 3 medical centers, including The First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China, between January 2009 and July 2024 were collected. There were 6 males and 64 females, aged (36±13)years. All patients underwent extended abdominal wall resection combined with abdominal wall reconstruction. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) tumor recurrence and postoperative complications. Comparisons of measurement data with skewed distribution between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Comparison of count data between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Results:(1)Surgical situations. All 70 patients underwent extended abdominal wall resection combined with abdominal wall recons-truction. The operation time was 90(91)minutes and duration of postoperative hospital stay was 10(6)days. Of the 70 patients, 41 patients underwent abdominal wall AF resection plus polypropylene mesh abdominal wall reconstruction, with a defect area of 60(54)cm2. The mesh placement method was uniformly Sublay repair. The remaining 29 patients underwent abdominal wall AF resection plus direct suture repair, with a defect area of 34(31)cm2. There was a significant difference in the abdominal wall defect area between the two groups ( U=291.00, P<0.05). All 70 patients achieved R 0 resection. The distance from surgical margin to tumor edge was 2-3 cm in 39 cases and >3 cm in 31 cases. (2) Tumor recurrence and postoperative complications. All 70 patients were followed up for 78(90)months. During follow-up, 10 patients developed tumor recurrence (5 cases with mesh reinforced abdominal wall reconstruction and 5 cases with direct suture repair). Among them, one case was monitored, one case underwent radiotherapy, and neither received further surgical treatment. The remaining 8 patients underwent repeat R 0 resection, and no further recurrence occurred. There was no significant difference in recurrence rate between the patients with mesh reconstruction and patients with direct suture repair ( χ2=0.06, P>0.05). The postoperative recurrence rate was 9.7%(3/31) in patients with the distance from surgical margin to tumor edge >3 cm, versus 17.9%(7/39) in patients with the distance from surgical margin to tumor edge of 2-3 cm, showing no significant difference between them ( χ2=0.97, P>0.05). Sixty patients had no tumor recurrence. During follow-up, none of the 70 patients developed incisional hernia. Two patients experienced postoperative wound infection, and 6 cases developed postoperative chronic pain. Conclusion:Extended abdominal wall resection combined with reconstruction is safe and feasible for abdominal wall AF.

In recent years,the prevalence of porcine infectious pleuropneumonia caused by Actinoba-cillus pleuropneumoniae(APP)has significantly increased in large-scale pig farms in China.The i-solation,identification,and biological characteristic testing of newly prevalent strains have impor-tant clinical significance.This study isolated four suspected APP strains(named XB2T-56,JMTLP-443,YD-THB-755,SYZJ-291)from lung samples of pig farms suspected of outbreaks of porcine infectious pleuropneumonia in Hubei Province.They were identified by PCR amplification,and multiplex PCR serological typing,the biological properties were tested by detecting the growth a-bility,hemolytic activity and biofilm forming ability.The drug resistance of the strains was ana-lyzed by drug sensitivity testing,and the virulence of one strain(XB2T-56)in mice and piglets was evaluated.The PCR identification result showed that all four clinical isolates were APP serotype 15 strains.These four strains grew slower than serotype 1 standard strains,had weaker hemolytic activity,but could form stronger biofilms.These strains are all less sensitive to cephalosporin,tylo-sin,sulfamethoxazole,and doxycycline,but sensitive to cefotaxime and enrofloxacin.The mice and piglet infection experiments showed that the isolated strain XB2T-56 has strong virulence.Artifi-cial intranasal infection causes acute death in piglets,with typical symptoms of pleuropneumonia in the lungs,and serotype 15 strains can be isolated from the lesion site.This study indicates that the APP serotype 15 strain has strong virulence,providing new date for the clinical epidemiological characteristics of APP.

Objective To develop and validate a nomogram model for predicting recurrence after radiofre-quency catheter ablation(RFCA)in patients with atrial fibrillation and heart failure using body surface electrocar-diogram indicators and clinical indicators.Methods We retrospectively analyzed 305 patients with atrial fibrilla-tion complicated with heart failure who underwent RFCA from January 2019 to January 2024.Patients were random-ized into training set(213 cases)and validation set(92 cases)at a ratio of 7:3 and followed up for at least 1 year.Based on the recurrence status,the patients were divided into recurrence group and non-recurrence group,with body surface electrocardiogram indicators and clinical indicators collected.Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified for risk factors for post RFCA recurrence,which were used to construct a nomogram.Model performance was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC),Hosmer-Lemeshow test,calibration curves,and decision curve analysis(DCA).Results Among the 305 patients,84(27.54％)experi-enced recurrence after treatment.In the training set,61 patients had recurrence and 152 did not.No statistical differences were observed between the training set and the validation set(all P>0.05).In the training set,the recurrence group exhibited a higher proportion of persistent atrial fibrillation and significantly higher CHA2DS2-VASc scores,larger left atrial diameter,longer PR interval,and higher levels of NLR and NT-proBNP compared to the non-recurrence group(all P<0.05).Multivariate stepwise regression analysis revealed that high CHA2DS2-VASc score,long left atrial diameter,prolonged PR interval,and high NLR were independent risk factors of recurrence after RFCA(P<0.05)A four-factor prediction model was established as:Ln(P/1-P)=-12.87+0.84*CHA2DS2-VASc score+0.11* left atrial diameter+0.03*PR interval+0.31*NLR.The training and validation models showed AUCs of 0.85(95％CI:0.80～0.91)and 0.85(95％CI:0.76～0.94),respectively,suggesting that the model had good predictive efficiency.Hosmer-Lemeshow test results(χ2=2.43,P=0.965 for the training set;χ2=5.30,P=0.725 for the validation set)confirmed model fit,indicating that the fitted probability value was consistent with the actual probability value.Calibration curves after 1 000 times of Bootstrap repeated sampling showed the bias calibration curves of the training set and the validation set had good consistency with the actual curves,both close to the ideal curve.DCA revealed clinical utility across a wide threshold probability range(0.02～1.0 for the training set;0.04～1.0 for the validation set).Conclusion This nomogram,based on body surface electrocardiogram indicators and clinical indicators,effectively predicts post-RFCA recurrence in atrial fibrillation and heart failure patients,offering a useful tool for early assessment of recurrence risk.

Objective:This article introduces a novel technique for totally laparoscopic, right thoracic approach, esophagojejunostomy for digestive tract reconstruction.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients with adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction who successfully underwent totally laparoscopic esophagojejunostomy via the right thoracic approach at Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, between February 2022 and March 2022.The surgical procedure was performed as follows:(1)Following total laparoscopic resection of the gastric tumor and lymph node dissection, the specimen was transected distal to the tumor margin. The specimen was then placed into a retrieval bag and extracted through the umbilical observation port.(2)Dissection was continued through the esophageal hiatus to mobilize the esophagus. The tumor-bearing tissue, along with the esophagus, was delivered into the thoracic cavity via the esophageal hiatus.(3)The jejunum was transected 20 cm distal to the ligament of Treitz. The distal Jejunum was mobilized for 15-20 cm and subsequently delivered into the thoracic cavity through the esophageal hiatus.(4)A Roux-en-Y jejunojejunostomy was constructed 45-50 cm distal to the cut end of the distal jejunal limb; the mesenteric defect was closed, and the duodenal stump was reinforced.(5)The patient was repositioned into the left lateral decubitus position. Port placement was established as follows: the observation port at the 7th intercostal space (ICS) in the right midaxillary line, the main operating port at the 4th ICS in the anterior axillary line, and the assistant operating port at the 9th ICS in the scapular line.(6)The main operating port incision was enlarged. Using a purse-string instrument, the esophagus was clamped and transected at least 5 cm proximal to the upper tumor margin, and the specimen was removed. (7)The distal jejunum was delivered into the thoracic cavity via the esophageal hiatus. Under total laparoscopic visualization, esophagojejunostomy was completed.Results:Both patients who underwent totally laparoscopic esophagojejunostomy via the right thoracic cavity successfully completed the procedure without conversion to laparotomy, unplanned reoperation, or any intraoperative/postoperative complications. The patients recovered well postoperatively, with no evidence of abdominal or thoracic hemorrhage. Postoperative computed tomography (CT) scans of the chest and abdomen confirmed the absence of anastomotic leakage or other related complications.Conclusions:The esophagojejunostomy was performed totally laparoscopically via the right thoracic cavity. This approach overcomes the drawback of significant trauma associated with open surgery while ensuring safe esophageal resection margins and thorough lymph node dissection. This technique offers advantages including minimal invasiveness, accelerated postoperative recovery, and a reduced incidence of reflux esophagitis. To our knowledge, no similar method of digestive tract reconstruction has been reported in the literature. Its novelty and clinical potential may offer new therapeutic options for patients with Siewert type II adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG).

Aim To predict the mechanism of action of ginsenoside Rg1(G-Rg1)paired with hirudin in the treatment of myocardial fibrosis in acute myocardial in-farction(AMI)based on the network pharmacology ap-proach,and to validate it by in vivo and in vitro experi-ments.Methods The corresponding targets of G-Rg1 and Hirudin were collected using SwissTargetPredic-tion,TargetNet,ETCM and ChEMBL databases,and the targets related to AMI and myocardial fibrosis were collected using GeneCards,OMIM and DisGeNET da-tabases.The drug-disease intersection targets were subjected to protein-protein interaction network(PPI)network analysis,gene ontology(GO)functional en-richment analysis and kyoto encyclopedia of genomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment analysis.Key targets and pathways were validated using an AMI mouse mod-el induced by ligation of the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery in mice versus a hypoxia-in-duced injury model of human cardiac microvascular en-dothelial cells(HCMECs).Results G-Rg1 paired with hirudin had 229 drug targets,816 AMI and myo-cardial fibrosis disease targets,and 65 intersecting tar-gets.PPI analysis showed that tumor necrosis factor(TNF),interleukin-1[3(IL-1 β),transforming growth factor beta-1(TGF-β1),nuclear factor kappa-B(NF-κB),and interleukin-6(IL-6)might be the core tar-gets of G-Rg1 paired with Hirudin in the treatment of post-MI myocardial fibrosis;KEGG was enriched for a total of 141 pathways involving endocrine and metabo-lism,inflammation,and immunity,mainly TNF signa-ling pathway,PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and TGF-βsignaling pathway.In vivo experiments confirmed that G-Rg1 paired with hirudin attenuated myocardial fibro-sis after AMI in mice,and down-regulated the expres-sion of TNF-α,IL-1β,NF-κB,TGF-β1,and Smad2/3 proteins in myocardial tissues.In vitro experiments confirmed that G-Rg1 paired with Hirudin inhibited cellular NF-κB/TGF-β1 pathway,reduced hypoxia-in-duced cellular TNF-α and IL-1β expression,and su-perimposed NF-κB inhibitor significantly reduced IL-1 β expression and attenuated cellular inflammatory re-sponse.Conclusions G-Rg1 with Hirudin treats post-MI myocardial fibrosis by regulating TNF-α,IL-1 β and other targets and NF-KB/TGF-β1 pathway,reflecting its multi-pathway and multi-target action characteris-tics,and providing a pharmacological basis for the treatment of post-MI myocardial fibrosis with G-Rg1 with Hirudin.

Objective To determine the effects of heated iodophor disinfection on intraoperative body temperature and bleeding in elderly patients undergoing radical mastectomy.Methods A total of 78 elderly patients who underwent unilateral radical mastectomy in Suqian Hospital of Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital from September 2022 to August 2024 were selected as the study subjects,and they were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group,with 39 cases in each group.The control group and the observation group were disinfected with iodophor at temperature of 23℃and heated to 37℃before surgery,respectively.The qualified skin disinfection,incision infection,body temperature,adverse reactions during the recovery period,intraoperative bleeding volume,postoperative drainage bleeding volume,and hemoglobin levels of patients of the two groups were compared.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the qualified rate of skin disinfection or incision infection rate between of patients the two groups(P>0.05).At 30 minutes after disinfection,60 minutes after disinfection,and at the end of surgery,the body temperature of patients in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).The incidences of intraoperative hypothermia,delayed awakening,and shivering reaction of patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The intraoperative bleeding volume and postoperative drainage bleeding volume of patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The hemoglobin level 3 days after surgery of patients in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with the routine use of 23℃iodophor to disinfect the skin of elderly patients undergoing radical mastectomy,the use of iodophor heated to 37℃does not affect the disinfection effect and incision infection,and the incidence of intraoperative hypothermia in patients is lower,which is conducive to reduce the amount of intraoperative bleeding and the incidence of adverse reactions during the recovery period.
