Objective: To investigate sexual behavior and related factors among middle school students in Chengdu,and to provide a reference for improving the content and the way of their sexual health education. Methods: Stratified cluster sampling was used to select 935 students from 11 schools in Chengdu. A self-designed questionnaire was implemented to estimate sexual behavior and related factors. Results: Thirty-six (3.9%) students reported sexual behavior during the past year. The difference between boys (5.6%) and girls (1.7%) was of statistical significance(χ2=9.79，P<0.01). 77.8% (28/36) of all the participants reported first sexual contact experience, 2.4% (22/935) reported homosexual behavior. Five out of 935 students had experienced unplanned pregnancy, four of them chose to have an abortion. Multivariate Logistic regression showed that masturbation experience, talking about sex-related things with friends, asking for help from friends when in sex-related troubles positively with higher risk of sextual behavior(OR=6.67,0.30,0.28,P<0.05). Conclusion There are multiple types of unsafe sexual behavior among middle school students in Chengdu. Strategies including positive behavior support, peer education, sustainable environment and youth-friend services are essential for health education in the future.

Objective To analyze the efficacy of ponatinib as salvage therapy in relapse chronic myeloid leukemia with T315I mutation (CML-T315D after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).Methods Twelve patients with CML-T315I (10 cases of T315I mutation before transplantation and 2 cases of T315I mutation at the time of relapse after transplantation) were included in this retrospective analysis.Ponatinib was used as single agent or combined with chemotherapy and/or donor lymphocyte infusion.The samples obtained for RTQ-PCR were also analyzed for the BCR ABL1 mutation by direct sequencing.Scanning of the ABL KD (amino acids 219-506) for the presence of mutations was sequenced by Sanger.Results In 12 patients with relapse after transplantation,2 patients with molecular relapse were treated with only single-agent ponatinib,and among 10 patients with hematologic relapse,1 patient was treated with single-agent ponatinib and 3 patients were given ponatinib combined with donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI),the remaining 6 patients were treated with ponatinib combined with chemotherapy and DLI.After the treatment with ponatinib,11 patients had a good response,10 patients obtained complete hematologic remission (CHR),1 patient obtained partial hematologic remission (PHR) and 1 patient had no response (NR).For cytogenetic response,10 patients obtained complete cytogenetic response (CCyR),1 patient obtained partial cytogenetic response (PCyR) and one patient had no cytogenetic response.For the molecular biological response,9 patients obtained complete molecular response (CMR),1 patient obtained majore molecular response (MMR) and 2 patients had no molecular biological response.The median time to obtain CHR was 36 days (29-96 days),the median time to obtain CCyR was 63 days (32-127 days),and the median time to obtain CMR was 89 days (27-152 days).The median follow-up time after treatment with ponatinib was 598 (range,93-1470) days,9 patients survived and 3 died.Causes of deaths included leukemia relapse (n =2)and ineffective treatment (n =1).The 2-year overall and disease-free survival rate after relapse in 12 patients was 75.0％ ± 12.5％ and 31.7％ ± 14.9％,respectively.Conclusion This small sample data suggested that ponatinib as salvage therapy had a good response to the relapse CML-T315I after allo-HSCT.

Objective:To compare the differences of brain activation in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) and multiple sclerosis (MS) under contact heat stimulation (CHS), and to explore the characteristics of pain-related brain networks in NMOSD and MS patients.Methods:Fourteen NMOSD patients (NMOSD group) and 12 MS patients (MS group) admitted to Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from September 2022 to December 2022 who met the diagnostic criteria were collected. Twelve healthy individuals (HC group) matched with gender and age were recruited during the same period. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score was used to evaluate the pain of the subjects, CHS painful stimuli were given, and task-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans were performed at the same time, and the differences in brain activation among the 3 groups were analyzed and compared.Results:(1) Compared with the HC group, the NMOSD group had a stronger activation degree than the HC group in the brain regions including the cortex around the left distance fissure, bilateral medial superior frontal gyrus; the activation degree of the NMOSD group was weaker than that of the HC group in the brain areas including the left medial and paracingulate gyrus, right superior parietal gyrus, left postcentral gyrus, and right supplementary motor area (all P<0.05). (2) Compared with the HC group, the brain regions whose activation degree was weaker in the MS group included the left caudate nucleus, left medial and paracingulate gyrus, left paracentral lobule, right superior parietal gyrus, left postcentral gyrus, left precuneus, right supplementary motor area, right superior temporal gyrus and right thalamus, and there was no brain area in the MS group whose activation degree was stronger than that of the HC group (all P<0.05). (3) Compared with the MS group, the brain regions with stronger activation degree in the NMOSD group included the left perifissure cortex and right thalamus, but no brain regions with weaker activation degree were found in the NMOSD group (all P<0.05). (4) There was a correlation between somatic pain VAS scores and activation of the medial superior frontal gyrus in the NMOSD group ( r=0.66, P<0.05). Conclusions:The results of CHS-fMRI in the NMOSD group, MS group and HC group showed that multiple brain regions were activated, indicating that multiple brain regions were involved in the generation and processing of pain, and there was a pain-related brain network. Pain-related brain networks were altered in NMOSD patients and MS patients, and there were differences in pain-related brain networks between the two diseases.

Objective:To observe the changes in brain functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in migraine patients under olfactory stimuli and analyze the characteristics of olfactory-related brain networks.Methods:Twenty-seven migraine patients (migraine group) enrolled in the Department of Neurology, Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from January 2021 to January 2022 were included, and 20 healthy adults were recruited as control group during the same period. All subjects underwent synchronous fMRI scanning under olfactory task stimulation, and magnetic resonance imaging data processing was performed using SPM12 and Matlab2019b softwares, and statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 23.0 software.Results:The activated brain regions in the control group included the left cerebellum, left inferior temporal gyrus, left fusiform gyrus, right middle frontal gyrus, right anterior central gyrus, insula, right central sulcus, superior marginal gyrus, right lenticular putamen, middle cingulate gyrus, paracentral lobule, and superior parietal gyrus ( P<0.05). The activated brain regions in the migraine group included the left cerebellum, right fusiform gyrus, right inferior temporal gyrus, right anterior central gyrus, and right posterior central gyrus ( P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the activation intensity of the migraine group was weaker in the right insula, right middle frontal gyrus orbit, left inferior frontal gyrus orbit, right dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus, right superior temporal gyrus, right superior occipital gyrus, medial and paracingulate gyrus, and right superior parietal gyrus ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Migraine patients have multiple brain regions involved in olfactory processing and have specific olfactory-related brain networks.

Objective To assess the change of sexual behaviors before and after HIV was recently identified among men who have sex with men(MSM). Methods A retrospective study was conducted on recently identified HIV-infected MSM in Chengdu and Tianjin. A face-to-face questionnaire interview was administrated to collect sexual behaviors within six months,before and after HIV was diagnosed. Differences in sexual behavior before and after the diagnosis were assessed, using the McNemar χ 2 test. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify predictors for sexually risk behaviors. Results Of 129 HIV-infected MSM under survey,the average age was 31.8 years and the main venue in seeking male sex partners was through Internet. The proportions of MSM with unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) decreased from 70.5% before diagnosis to 16.3% after diagnosis and the percentage of having more than 1 partner decreased from 66.7%before diagnosis to 33.3%after diagnosis. After the diagnosis was made,there appeared a significant decrease in the percentage of persons who had one main partner from 72.9% to 55.0% and having casual partners declined from 62.8% to 31.0%. Data from multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that risk factors as UAI before diagnosis,more than 1 partner after diagnosis and having one main partner,were all significantly associated with UAI after diagnosis. After the diagnosis was made for UAI,risk factors for‘having more than 1 partner’after diagnosis,would include:using Internet to seek for sexual partners,after diagnosis,having one main partner but not disclosing to him. Conclusion After the diagnosis was made,most HIV-infected MSM would reduce their high risk sexual behaviors but some continued to practice UAI.
