Objective :
To study the epidemiological characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Zhoushan, so as to provide reference for improving the prevention and control capability of COVID-19.
Methods :
All the confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Zhoushan, diagnosed according to China’s “COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment plan (fifth version) ” and reported from January 19 to February 17, 2020, were extracted from the infectious disease surveillance system. Data of general information, clinical characteristics, laboratory Results, transmission and detection routes were collected and analyzed.
Results :
By February 17, Ten confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Zhoushan had been reported, including 7 males and 3 females. They were all adults, with an average age of (50.90±15.00) years. Five cases were discharged. The incubation period ranged from 2 to 12 days, with a median of 5 days. The first symptoms were fever (8 cases), cough (7 cases) and muscle pain (2 cases). Chest computed tomographic (CT) scans showed ground glass opacities in the lungs of all the cases. Six cases had Wuhan related exposure. SARS-CoV-2 was tested positive in the sputum specimens or throat swabs of all the cases and the faeces of 4 cases. The last suspicious exposure of 5 cases occurred before, and that of another 5 cases occurred after the onset of clinical symptoms in the confirmed maternal cases. Three cases were found in active consultation after clinical symptoms, and another 7 cases were found in the monitoring of close contacts.
Conclusions
The 10 confirmed cases of COVID-19 reported in Zhoushan are all adults, and most have Wuhan related exposure. SARS-CoV-2 can be detected in the fecal samples, but the existence of fecal-oral transmission needs more research. SARS-CoV-2 has strong infectivity, and may also have infectivity before the onset of symptoms (at the end of incubation period). Isolation and early detection of close contacts are conducive for early case-finding.

Objective:To investigate the early clinical effects of home-based mobile health intervention on knee joint function after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.Methods:This was a prospective randomized controlled trial. Patients undergoing arthroscopic ACL reconstruction alone at the Institute of Sports Medicine, Peking University Third Hospital from April 2019 to December 2019 were elected in the trial. Patients were divided into the intervention group and the control group according to random number method. The control group only received the guidance of the traditional paper rehabilitation schedule, while the intervention group also received personalized guidance of electronic rehabilitation prescription and follow-up notice delivered by a WeChat Mini Program Rehabilitation Cloud Platform in addition to the traditional guidance. Joint range of motion (ROM), visual analogue scale (VAS) and thigh circumference difference were assessed before and after the operation. Independent sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of data between groups, and chi-square test was used for comparison of enumeration data. Results:One hundred and twenty five patients were enrolled in the trial, including 99 males and 26 females, with an average age of 29.0 years (range:18 to 45 years) and an average body mass index of 24.8 kg/m 2 (range:15.8 to 36.6 kg/m 2). At 6 weeks, follow-up was available in 106 cases the target-reach rate of ROM in control group was 42.6%(23/54), which was 67.3%(35/52) in the intervention group, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=6.53, P=0.01); VAS of the intervention group was 2.5(2.0), lower than that of the control group 3.0(2.0)( M( Q R)), the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-2.06, P=0.04); And the thigh circumference difference of the intervention group was 2.0(2.0)cm lower than that of the control group 3.0(1.8)cm, the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-3.00, P<0.01). Conclusion:Mobile health intervention can improve the early postoperative rehabilitation effect after ACL construction and the ROM of the knee joint, and reduce the bent-knee pain along with the thigh circumference difference.

Objective:
To analyze the influencing factors and mechanism for unprotected sexual behavior of men who have sex with men (MSM) in China.
Methods:
MSM who are more than 16 years old and have had homosexual sexual behaviors in recent years were recruited from five cities (Tianjin, Harbin, Nanjing, Chongqing and Xi'an) with active MSM population during 2013-2014 through network, site recruitment and peer recommendation using convenient sampling method. 3 519 subjects were included in this study. The sexual behavior related information of MSM in five cities was investigated using questionnaires. The confirmatory factor analysis was used to construct the measurement model by using the robust estimation method based on the weighted least square method to estimate parameters, and the final model was determined through evaluation and modification.
Results:
A total of 3 519 subjects were (29.9±8.76) years old, with a clear sexual orientation of 3 223 (91.6%), and 2 287 (65.0%) were aware of free HIV/AIDS treatment policies. The proportion of using condom last time was 77.2% (
