Objective:To compare acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) related knowledge, attitudes, behaviors and their influencing factors among college students in different years in Beijing, and to provide evidence for targeted health education among college students in future.Methods: College students were selected by the stratified cluster sampling method, and a questionnaire survey was conducted among college students in year 2006 and 2016 in Beijing.The sample sizes were 1 800 and 3 001 college students, respectively.The contents of the questionnaire included: socio-demographic characteristics, AIDS related knowledge, AIDS related attitude, sex intercourse and its related risk behaviors, condom use intension, and AIDS related health education.Results: Compared with the year 2006, the average AIDS knowledge scores of college students in year 2016 dropped from 12.78±1.95 to 11.90±2.56 (t=12.91, P<0.05), and the correct answer rates of questions in the knowledge part were decreased, too.Except for belief on condom use, the college students were more negative on AIDS related attitude and self-efficacy in year 2016 than in year 2006.Among the students who had sex experience, the rates of commercial sex [17.65% (33/187) vs.6.53% (16/245), χ2=13.003, P<0.001] and the rates of homo-sexual intercourse [15.43% (29/188) vs.4.13% (10/242), χ2=16.356, P<0.001] were higher in year 2016 than in year 2006.The main way for the students seeking pornographic information was changed from books to internet (41.15%) in 2016 compared with the year 2016.In 2016, the influencing factors of intention on condom use were male (OR=0.713), self-efficacy of condom purchase (OR=0.876), never received sex education before college (OR=0.752), self-efficacy of condom use (OR=1.135), belief of condom use (OR=1.775), and attitude towards AIDS patients (OR=1.136).Conclusion: AIDS related knowledge, attitudes and behaviors among college students have been changed, AIDS related health education should be designed and improved based on new characteristics of college students.AIDS health education in colleges should pay more attention to sex attitude and sex responsibility and self-protection awareness among college students as well.

Objective: To investigate the effect of macrophage-capping protein (CapG) on migration and proliferation of human gastric cancer cell line.Methods: Real-time PCR method was used to detect the expression of CapG gene in four gastric cancer cell lines, and AGS cells with low expression and transfection were selected as the research objects.Specific primers were designed for CapG and recombinant plasmids synthesized.A lentivirus packaging system which could express CapG was constructed, and a cell line stably expressing CapG was established by infecting human gastric cancer cell line AGS cells.The effect of overexpression of CapG gene on the growth and proliferation of AGS cells was analyzed by CCK8 assay.Cells cratch and Transwell assay were used to analyze the effect of overexpression of CapG gene on AGS cell migration.Results: After the overexpression of CapG, the growth rate of AGS cells was slightly lower than that of the control group, but there was no significant difference between the two groups (t=2.424, P=0.073).Scratch test showed that the average narrowing distance of the scratches in the CapG experimental group was significantly reduced compared with the control group, the average narrowing distance of the CapG experimental group and the control group was 336.99 μm and 45.54 μm, the difference was statistically significant (t=14.97, P=0.004).The average number of cell penetra-ting membrane in the CapG experimental group and the eGFP control group was 176 and 70, the number of the cells in the CapG experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (t=40.00, P<0.001).Conclusion: The overexpression of CapG gene has no significant effect on the growth and proliferation of AGS cells of gastric cancer cell line.Overexpression of CapG gene can promote the migration of AGS cells of gastric cancer cell lines.

Objective To explore the use of pulse indication contour cardiac output (PiCCO) as a guidance for fluid resuscitation and vasopressors employment in patients with septic shock in order to find out the efficacy of this resuscitation strategy in the respect of outcome of patients. Mtthod A total of 30 patients with septic shock were treated with the EDGT fluid treatment protocol as the conventional treatment group from December 2006 to June 2008; and another 26 patients were given fluid treatment under the guidance of PiCCO as PiCCO group from July 2008 to October 2009. Exclusion criteria included patients with history of heart and lung diseases, and liver and kidney dysfunction. The mean arterial blood pressure was maintained above or equal to 65mmHg in PiCCO group,and fluid resuscitation was concluded when global end-diastolic volume index reached 600～750 mL·-2 with the stroke volume variation in ＜ 10% and without auricular fibrillation. Nor-epinephrine was administrated to adiust the systemic peripheral vascular resistance index during 1300～1500 d·s·cm-5·m-2.Dobutamine was empoyed when global ejection fraction was compromised. The options of liquid and diuretics depend upon the presence d extra-vascular lung water. Central venous oxygen saturation and the level of lactate were observed 6hours after resuscitation. The liquid equilibrium for 3 days and the dosage of vasopressors were also recorded. The rate of survival, the time taken for weaning from mechanical ventilation, the days of ICU stay and rate of intact organ function within 28 days were compared between two groups. Results The demphics of patients of two goups were similar. There were no significant difference between PiCCO and the conventional group in values of central venous oxygen saturation and lactate 6 hours after admission to ICU (P ＞ 0.05). And 6 h and 1d after fluid resuscitation, the dosages of dobutamine and the dosages of nor-epinephrine used in PiCCO group were significantly higher than those in conventional group in which the dosages of dobutamine in two groups were [(145.4±24.5)mg vs. (104.2 ± 46.3) mg and (330.2 ± 30.3) mg vs. (202.4 ± 40.3) mg], respectively, and the dosages of nor-epinephrine [(14.5±3.8) mgvs. (10.2±5.6) mgand (38.2±4.2) rng vs.(20.1±6.2) mg], respectively. However, the dosages of vasopressors were similar between two groups 2 d and 3 d later. The amounts of liquid administered to get equilibrium in 6 h and the 3 d in PiCCO group were significantly less than those in conventional group [(2121±578) mL vs. (2910±987) mL and (3845±435) mL vs. (4545 ± 765) mL and (2467±510) mLvs. (2867±618) mL and (951±332) mLvs. (1472±533) mL], respectively. The days required to get free from mechanical ventilation within 28d were significantly longer in PiCGO group[(19.7 ± 8.3) d vs.(15.1±9.1) d], but the days of ICU stay were significantly shorter in PiCCO group [(7.5 ± 3.5) d vs. (9.5±3.2) d] (P＜0.05). The rates of survival and days free from organ failure within 28 days of two groups were similar(P＞0.05). Conclusions When the early fluid management guided with PiCCO in septic shock patients,the fluid management can be implement more safely and precisely. It can shorten the days of ICU stay and days of mechanical ventilation support with avoidance of fluid resuscitation.

Objective To investigate the prognosis of patients with Kawasaki's disease complicated with coronary artery lesion and to provide evidence for diagnosis and treatment of these patients. Methods This study was conducted during January 2002 to June 2007. All patients diagnosed as Kawasaki's disease complicated with coronary artery lesions were from the Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical College, the Second People's Hospital of Guangxi Province and Guilin Women and Childrens' Hospital. All cases were echocardiogram examined in month 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 in the purpose of observing the morphology of coronary artery. The study subjects were re-categorized to the groups of mild, moderate dilatation of coronary artery and giant coronary aneurysm, based on the severity of coronary artery lesion. The results of these results of the three groups were compared. Results Eighty-four cases in the mild group, 27 cases in the moderate group and 8 cases in the giant coronary aneurysm. The recovery cases were 23 (27%), 3 (11%) and 0 in the 3 groups respectively at month 3. The above numbers were 44 (52%), 8 (30%) and 0 respectively at month 6.The numbers were 69(82%), 13 (48%) and 1 (13%) at month 12. The numbers were 78 (93%), 19 (70%), 3 (38%) at month 24. The numbers were 82(98%), 20(74%) and 4(50%) at month 36. Thirteen patients were treated with adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) stress echocardiography examiantion, 5 patients were evaluated by coronary angiography,and 4 patients were tested by 64-slice CT coronary reconstruction. Part of the patients were found to have coronary stenosis or occlusion. Conclusion Patients of Kawasaki's disease often have concurrent coronary artery lesions. Patients with mild dilatation of the coronary artery are the most commonly seen and have the best prognosis. On the contrast, patients with giant coronary aneurysm are the lest common situation and is the worst in prognosis. Part of them will develop coronary artery stenosis or occlusion in late stage which may lead to ischemic heart disease. We should stress on close follow-up of patients with Kawasaki's disease complicated with coronary artery lesion. Appropriate and timely treatment will increase their clinical outcomes.
