OBJECTIVETo understand the coverage of HIV related intervention and antiviral treatment among HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) and to examine factors of initiating antiretroviral treatment.
METHODSA total of 501 HIV-positive MSM were recruited by "snowballing" sampling in Chengdu (160), Chongqing (168) and Guangzhou (173) from January to June, 2013. Participants who were older than18 years, had sex with men, HIV-infected, were living in these 3 cities when survey was conducted were eligible for subjects of this survey. The data were collected by computer assisted survey, including social demography, the coverage of HIV related follow-up intervention and ART, related knowledge level, sexual behaviors in the last 6 months, as well as notification to sexual partners and family. We analyzed the influence factors for initiating ART by Multiple Unconditioned Logistic Regression.
RESULTSAmong 501 HIV-positive MSM, the ratio of CD4 counting and HIV viral load testing were 90.8% (455) and 19.4% (97), respectively. The percentage of the latest CD4 counting not more than 350 per µl was 33.0% (150/455). The coverage of initiated ART among the participants who met the qualification was 56.0% (84/150). The multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed that the possibility of not on ART among participants who were migrants increased to 5.21(2.33-11.66) times of the local residents and the possibility among participants who were diagnosed STD in the last year increased to 2.70(1.12-6.55) times of those who were not infected STD, the possibility of not on ART among participants who had sex with male occasional or commercial partner in the last 6 months increased to 2.16(1.03-4.50) times of those who hadn't, and the possibility among participants who had anal sex with condom use in the past 6 months increased to 2.68(1.10-6.50) times of those who couldn't insist using condom.
CONCLUSIONThere were low coverage of series of HIV/AIDS related intervention services among HIV-positive MSM in Chengdu, Chongqi and Guangzhou. Migrants, had sex with male occasional or commercial partner, had anal sex with condom use in the past 6 months, not infected STD in the last year may be the independent risk factors for HIV-positive MSM to not initiating ART.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the status of HIV disclosure to primary partners and to explore the correlates of HIV disclosure among HIV-infected men who have sex with men (MSM) in Guangzhou, Chongqing and Chengdu.
METHODSThis survey was conducted in Chengdu, Chongqing and Guangzhou by using "snowballing" sample from December, 2012 to May, 2013. Participants who were eighteen years old or elder, HIV-infected, had sex with men and lived in three cities when the survey was conducted were eligible for subjects of this survey. Primary partners and disclosure status of participants were investigated. Multiple Unconditioned Logistic Regression analysis was used to analyze the influence factors associated with HIV disclosure.Of 600 participants, 541 were excluded because of logical problem or incomplete items in questionnaire and the effective response rate was 90.2%.
RESULTSOf the 541 HIV-positive MSM participants, the mean age was (30.2 ± 7.7) years old, 78.2% (423/541) of the participants had male primary partners.Of the 423 participants who had male primary partner, 10.9% (46/423) had wife, 58.9% (249/423) had one primary partner, and 41.1% (174/423) had two or more. The proportion of HIV disclosure to all male primary sexual partners and wife was 41.8% (177/423) and 4.5% (19/423) respectively, 20.3% (86/423) of them disclosure to some of male primary partners and 37.8% (160/423) not disclosure to any male primary partners. Participants who had HIV-positive male partners in the past 6 months (accounting for 35.2% (149/423)) were more likely to disclose HIV infection to their primary sexual partners (70.5% (105/149)) than those who had non-HIV-positive sexual partners (26.3% (72/274)) (χ(2) = 77.46, P < 0.01). Participants who had male unknown HIV-status sexual partners in the past 6 months(accounting for 52.7% (223/423)) were less likely to disclosure HIV infection to primary sexual partners (22.4% (50/223) ) than those who had already known HIV-status sexual partners (63.5% (127/200)) (χ(2) = 73.11, P < 0.01). The possibility of HIV disclosure to primary sexual partner among participants who had HIV-positive sexual partner increase to 6.36 (3.75-10.80) times of those who had HIV -negative partners, and the possibility among participants who had sexual partners of unknown HIV status decreased to 0.44 (0.25-0.76) times of those who had sexual partners of already known HIV status. Compared with having non-anal sex behaviors with male primary partner, the possibility of HIV disclosure to primary sexual partner decreased to 0.46 (0.22-0.95) times among participants who had anal sex behavior with male primary partners.
CONCLUSIONThere were low proportion of HIV disclosure to primary sexual partners among HIV-infected MSM in Guangzhou, Chongqing and Chengdu.HIV disclosure to primary sexual partners may be associated with characteristics of their sexual partners, and participants who had HIV-positive male partners were more likely to disclose HIV infection to their primary sexual partners.

Objective:
To compare the clinical efficacy and patient satisfaction of 755 nm semiconductor laser for hair removal during different stages of auricular reconstruction.
Methods:
From July 2016 to September 2018, 86 patients who had ear reconstruction underwent 755 nm semiconductor laser for auricle hair removal in plastic surgery department of Tongji hospital affiliated to Tongji medical college of Huazhong university of science and technology. There were 39 males and 47 females with an average age 12 years old(from 6 to 28 years old). 28 cases were left ear, 58 cases were right ear. With random grouping, 40 patients underwent auricle hair removal treatment after posterior ear tissue expander implantation (post-operation of stage Ⅰ depilation group) and 46 patients underwent treatment after auricular reconstruction (post-operation of stage Ⅱ depilation group). Auricle hair removal treatments(pulse width 10-20 ms, wave length 755 nm, spot size 10 mm×15 mm, energy density 4-8 J/cm2) were respectively started at different intervention time. Each treatment time were 5-10 minutes. The end of the treatment was slight redness or edema of the local hairy follicle. The treatment was repeated every 4 weeks with a total of 5 times. The number of adverse reactions was recorded as while as the hair density, hair clearance rate and patient satisfaction before treatment and 6 months after the 5th depilation.
Results:
Patients in both groups successfully were completed the treatment and were followed up to about 6 months (23 to 25 weeks) after the last depilation treatment. There were only 2 cases with scratch in skin preparation and 2 cases with blisters in the postoperative of stage Ⅱ group. None of the other patients had adverse reactions. Hair density after treatment (27.63±7.75 bar/cm2) was less than before treatment (84.55±13.68 bar/cm2) in post-operation of stage Ⅰ depilation group. Hair density after treatment was 40.52±5.92 bar/cm2 in post-operation of stage Ⅱ depilation group, less than before treatment (74.78±11.19 bar/cm2). The differences were statistically significant (both

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in China. Currently, hepatectomy, radiofrequency ablation, interventional therapy, and so on are widely used in the treatment of liver cancer; however the 5-year survival rate of patients is still very poor. The onset of liver cancer is insidious, and most patients do not have the opportunity to undergo surgery when they are initially diagnosed. In addition, patients with advanced liver cancer lack effective treatment, which is mainly due to chronic inflammation of the liver. Immunotherapy has great potential advantages in the treatment of liver cancer, so it has attracted more and more researchers' attention. Importantly, with the development of biomedical science into the era of precision medicine, more precise and effective immunotherapy strategies for HCC treatment have been explored, thus bringing new hope to HCC patients. This article reviews the research status and progress of liver cancer immunotherapy in the context of precision medicine.
