Objective To observe the expression of neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) in glioma cells of different grades,and evaluate the application value of a novel molecular probe(USPIO-PEG-tLyP-1)in the grading diagnosis of heterotopic glioma in nude mice by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Methods Expression levels of NRP-1 in glioma cell lines of different grades were detected by Western-Blot.USPIO-PEG-tLyP-1 was synthesized by carbon diimine method.The U87-MG tumor-bearing mice model (U87-MG group) and CHG-5 tumor-bearing mice model(CHG-5 group) were established with 10 mice in each group.Six tumorbearing mice with a tumor volume about 0.6 cm3 were selected from each group,and they were given with 2mg/kg molecular probes via tail vein respectively and was detected by MRI at 0 h,6 h,12 h and 24 h,then R2 values were calculated.After the imaging,tumor-bearing mice were sacrificed,and tumor tissue sections were made.The iron particles in the sections was detected by Prussian blue staining.The binding ability of molecular probes and tumor tissues in the two groups was compared.Results The expression of NRP-1 in U87-MG and CHG-5 cell lines was significantly higher than that in HA.In addition,the expression of NRP-1 in U87-MG was higher than that in CHG-5 cell(P＜0.01).MRI results showed that R2 values of tumor tissues in the two groups were compared,and the difference was not statistically significant before the injection of molecular probe(U87-MG group(10.35±0.52)vs CHG-5 group(9.86±0.43),t=1.779,P=0.106).The R2 value of tumor tissue in the U87-MG group was higher than that in the CHG-5 group after the injection of molecular probe (6 h:U87-MG group (11.63±0.85)vs CHG-5 group (10.51 ±0.49),t=2.796,P=0.019;12h:U87-MG group(14.23±0.68)vs CHG-5 group(12.29±0.28),t=6.462,P=0.000;24 h:U87-MG group (13.36±0.92) vs CHG-5 group(11.32±0.64),t=4.459,P=0.001).The results of Prussian blue staining showed that there were significantly more blue staining particles in tumor tissues of the U87-MG group than that of the CHG-5 group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.01).Conclusion The NRP-1 targeted molecular probe can be used for grading diagnosis of high and low grade heterotopic brain glioma in nude mice.

Objective: To study the prevalence and correlates of unprotected sexual intercourse within HIV serodiscordant couples in Dehong prefecture, Yunnan Province, China, in 2014. Methods: This study was based on the follow-up investigation of "the AIDS cohort of seronegative spouses of HIV-infected individuals in Dehong prefecture" in 2014. The 1 520 participants were HIV seronegative spouses from all five counties/cities of Dehong prefecture who voluntarily participated in the cohort. Inclusion criteria included: having a HIV-positive spouse; ≥16 years of age; having had sexual intercourse with spouse in the past year; and being a resident of Dehong prefecture. Information on HIV-positive spouses were also collected through the local AIDS epidemic database. Chi square analysis was performed to compare differences in the rates of unprotected sexual intercourse between participants with different characteristics and lifestyle choices. Multivariable logistic regression model analysis was performed to determine correlates with unprotected sexual intercourse. Results: The 1 520 participants had a mean age of 38.7±9.4, compared with 39.7±8.9 for their HIV-positive spouses. Among the HIV-positive spouses, 77.8% (1 183/1 520) had been infected for more than 3 years, and 87.6% (1 332/1 520) had received antiretroviral therapy. The prevalence of unprotected sexual intercourse within serodiscordant couples over the past 12 months was 16.1% (244/1 520). The prevalence of unprotected sexual intercourse correlated with the level of education of HIV-negative spouses (illiterate vs. middle school and above, OR=1.58, P=0.044), the number of years since diagnosis of HIV-positive spouses (short vs. long, OR=1.6, P=0.006), antiretroviral therapy of HIV-positive spouses (no vs. yes, OR=2.78, P<0.001), the frequency of sexual intercourse per month (high vs. low, OR=1.66, P=0.019), and whether the couple had children (no vs. yes, OR=1.72, P=0.007). Conclusion The prevalence of unprotected sexual intercourse within serodiscordant couples in Dehong prefecture was relatively high in 2014. Factors found to correlate with the occurrence of unprotected sexual intercourse within these couples included illiteracy of HIV-negative spouses, short time since diagnosis of HIV-positive spouses and lack of antiretroviral therapy, high frequency of sexual intercourse and no children.

Objective:To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and current status of surgical management for esophageal cancer in China.Methods:A national database was setup through a network platform. The clinical data of esophageal cancer treated by surgery was collected from 70 major hospitals in China between January 2009 and December 2014.Results:Complete data of 8 181 cases of esophageal cancer patients who underwent surgery were recorded in the database and recruited in the analysis. Among them, 6 052 cases were male and 2 129 were female, the average age was 60.5 years.The epidemiological investigation results showed that 148 cases (1.8%) had history of psychological trauma, 7 527 cases (92.0%) were lower social economic status, 5 072 cases (62.0%) were short of fresh vegetables and fruits, 6 544 cases (80.0%) ate rough food frequently, 3 722 cases (45.5%) drank untreated water directly from lake or river or shallow well, 3 436 cases (42.0%) had a unhealthy eating habit, including habits of eating food fast (507 cases, 6.2%), eating hot food or drinking hot tea/soup (998 cases, 12.2%), eating fried food (1 939 cases, 23.7%), 4 410 cases (53.9%) had the habits of smoking cigarettes and 2 822 cases (34.5%) drank white wine frequently.The pathological results showed that 7 813 cases (95.5%) were squamous cell carcinoma, 267 cases were adenocarcinoma (3.3%), 25 cases were adenosquamous cell carcinoma (0.3%) and 50 cases were small cell carcinoma (0.6%). A total of 1 800 cases (22.0%) received preoperative neoadjuvant therapy due to locally advanced disease or difficulty of resection. The esophagectomies were performed through left thoracotomy approach in 5 870 cases (71.8%), through right chest approach in 2 215 cases (27.1%), and the remain 96 cases (1.2%) received surgery though other approaches.A total of 8 001 cases (97.8%) underwent radical resection, the other 180 cases (2.2%) received palliative resection. The 30-day postoperative mortality rate was 0.5%, the overall ≥ grade Ⅱ postoperative complication rate was 11.6% (951 cases). The 1-yr, 3-yr, and 5-yr overall actual survival rates were 82.6%, 61.6%, and 52.9%, respectively.Conclusions:The data analysis of the national database for esophageal cancer shows that bad eating habits or eating rough food without enough nutrients, lower social and economic status, drinking white wine and smoking cigarettes frequently may be correlated with tumorigenesis of esophageal cancer. However, strong evidences produced by prospective observation studies are needed. Overall, the long-term survival of esophageal cancer patients has been improved gradually due to the application of advanced surgical techniques and reasonable multimodality treatment.
