Objective To study the feeding arteries of sacral tumors with digital substraction angiography (DSA). Methods A total of 27 patients with sacral tumors, who were encountered at authors’ hospital during the period from January 2006 to December 2012 , were enrolled in this study. DSA of abdominal aorta, bilateral internal iliac arteries, median sacral artery and lumbar arteries was performed in all patients. The origins, branches of the feeding arteries were determined, and the results were analyzed. Results Of the 27 cases with sacral tumors, DSA demonstrated median sacral artery in 20 (20 arteries in total), lateral sacral artery in 22 (36 arteries in total), ilio-lumbar artery in 18 (27 arteries in total), lumbar artery in 10 (15 arteries in total), inferior gluteal artery in 3 (3 arteries in total) and superior gluteal artery in 2 (2 arteries in total). Conclusion In our series, the blood supply of the sacral tumors is mainly from the median sacral artery, lateral sacral artery, ilio-lumbar artery and lumbar artery. Occasionally, superior and inferior gluteal arteries also participate in the blood supply of the sacral tumors. For the evaluation of sacral tumors, attention should be paid to the presence of rare feeding arteries.

Background In recent years,some researches had been conducted on the pathologic changes of the secondary injury of perihematoma in animal experiments,but only a few studies had been done on the dynamic pathologic and ultrastructural changes of the perihematoma in ICH patients. The unique contribution of our study is to investigate the dynamic pathologic and ultrastructural changes of the perihematoma in ICH patients and provide significant insights into how the pathophysiology and ultrastructures changed after ICH.Methods The written informed consents were obtained from the ICH patients or their relatives. 30 patients (the supertentorial hemotoma volume>30 mi and the cerebellar hemotoma volume >10 mi) were divided into 8 groups according to the time passed after ICH:<6 h (6 patients), 6 ~ 12 h (7 patients), 12 ~24 h (5 patients), 24~48 h (3 patients), 48 ~72 h (3 patients), 3 ~4 days group (3 patients), 5 days group (2 patients) and 8 days group ( 1 patient) and subjected to craniotomy for hemotoma evacuation. During the operation for the hemotoma's evacuation, a small amount of tissues that must be removed, which located at 1 cm near the hematoma, were taken as experimental groups; And the same tissues of 7 patients (<12 h), which were far from the hemotoma on the operational way, were taken as control group. The pathologic and ultrastructral changes were observed.Results The tissues of the control group were almost normal while the damages of the tissues from the experimental groups were slight in <6 h groups, more severe after 6h and got to the maximum between 24 ~48 h , recovered gradually after 72 h, became similar to the 6 ~ 12 h group on 5 th day, got better on 8 th day and resembled the 6 h group.Conclusions The injury of the perihematoma occurred in early stage, reached the peak level between 24 and 48 hours after ICH; which was consistent to the clinical nervous functional deficits in the ICH patients.

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% (

The purpose of this study is to evaluate theretention capabilities of poloxamer-basedhydrogels for vaginal application with nonoxinol-9 as the model drug. Twohydrogel formulations, which contained 18% poloxamer 407 plus 1% poloxamer 188 (GEL1, relative hydrophobic) or 6% poloxamer 188 (GEL2, relative hydrophilic), were compared with respect to the rheological properties,hydrogel erosion and drug release. The vaginal retention capabilities of these hydrogel formulations were further determined in two small animal models, including drug quantitation of vaginal rinsing fluid in mice and isotope tracing withTc in rats. The two formulations exhibited similar phase transition temperatures ranging from 27 to 32 °C. Increasing the content of poloxamer 188 resulted in higher rheological moduli under body temperature, but slightly accelerated hydrogel erosion and drug release. When compared, GEL1 was eliminated significantly slower in rat vagina than GEL2, while the vaginal retention of these two hydrogel formulations behaved similarly in mice. In conclusion, increases in the hydrophilic content of formulations led to faster hydrogel erosion, drug release and intravaginal elimination. Rats appear to be a better animal model than mice to evaluate thehydrogel for vaginal application.
