Objective: To assess the prevalence of HIV infection and related factors in men who have sex with men (MSM) living for ≤5 years in Wenzhou of Zhejiang province. Methods: MSM who were aged ≥16 years, had lived in Wenzhou for ≥3 months and had anal sex and/or oral sex with men in the last 12 months were recruited through respondent-driven sampling (RDS) from February to October in 2015. The MSM recruited completed a questionnaire for the information collection on socio-demographic characteristics, sexual behavior, awareness of HIV and related intervention, mental health status. Blood samples were collected from them for serological detection of HIV and syphilis antibodies. Software SPSS 18.0 was used to analyze HIV infection and related factors. Results: A total of 454 MSM were investigated, 108 of them (23.7%) were HIV positive. There were 267 MSM who lived in Wenzhou for ≤5 years, and 73 of them (27.3%) were HIV positive. Most of them were workers and commercial servants aged ≥25 years with personal monthly income <4 000 yuan and educational level of junior high school or below. According to multiple logistics regression analysis, age of 25-68 years old (OR=12.19, 95%CI: 2.29-65.02), heterosexual behavior in recent 6 months (OR=0.42, 95%CI: 0.18-0.96), believing it was possible to be infected with HIV (OR=0.06, 95%CI: 0.01-0.95), believing it was impossible to be infected with HIV (OR=0.03, 95%CI: 0.01-0.35) and syphilis status (OR=3.32, 95%CI: 1.05-10.52) were the risk factors associated with HIV infection. Conclusion: Compared with MSM who lived in Wenzhou for >5 years, MSM who lived in Wenzhou for ≤5 years had higher HIV infection rate and higher prevalence of risk behavior. It is necessary to conduct targeted intervention among them.

To investigate the clinical efficacy of using the posterior tibial artery and peroneal artery perforator flaps to repair the heel wounds. Methods From January, 2011 to May, 2018, heel soft tissue de-fect caused by trauma in 18 cases were treated by posterior tibial artery and peroneal artery perforator flaps respec-tively. The posterior tibial artery perforator flap was used in 11 cases, and the peroneal artery perforator flap was used in 7 cases. The area of flaps ranged from 5.0 cm×3.0 cm to 11.0 cm×9.0 cm. The length of the vascular pedicle was from 10.0 cm to 16.0 cm.After operation, the patients were followed-up regularly.The time of wound healing, appear-ance and texture of the flap, and function of ankle joint were observed. Results After the operation, 13 flaps sur-vived uneventfully. The wound achieved primary healing. Partial necrosis occurred in the distal of posterior tibial artery perforator flap in 2 cases, and repaired by skin graft 1 or 2 months later.Marginal necrosis occurred in posterior tibial artery perforator flap in 2 cases and in peroneal artery perforator flap in 1 case. And scar healing occurred in these 3 cases finally.All the 18 patients were followed-up for 3 to 60 months, with an average of 10 months. Fracture healing time was from 3-6 months, with an average of 4 months. Flap was soft with satisfied appearance in 16 cases. Obvious scar formation occurred in 2 cases. There was no obvious scar contracture in donor sites. There was no obvi-ous limitation of the flexion and extension function of the ankle joint in 18 cases. According to the American Or-thopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score, there was excellent in 16 cases, and good in 2 cases. Conclusion As for the characteristics of the heel wound, it is a simple and practical method to use leg perforator flap to repair.The flap is based on a long vascular pedicle.And the clinical effect is satisfied.

Radiotherapy is a critical approach for the comprehensive treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.Deep understanding of the individualized radiosensitivity of lung cancer patients plays a pivotal role in the selection of radiotherapy dosage and regime and establishment of comprehensive therapeutic strategies.Currently,multiple researchers have identified a variety of biomarkers in predicting the radiosensitivity of lung cancer patients.In this article,research progress on the biomarkers in predicting radiosensitivity of non-small cell lung cancer was reviewed.
