Objective To analyze the transformation situation of the tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis and treatment mode in 18 coun-ties(cities) of Guangxi and to explore the countermeasure for perfecting the TB control service system in Guangxi .Methods The self-designed questionnaire was adopted to retrospectively investigate the transformation situation of the TB diagnosis and treatment mode in 18 counties(cities) .Results In the 18 counties(cities) ,there were 8 counties(cities) ,accounted for 44 .4% ,with the trans-formation reason of the qualification was not completed in the original agency;there were 16 counties (cities ) ,accounted for 88 .9% ,with issuing the formal documents and arranging relevant work by the local health bureau before the transformation ;the number of full-time TB staff was reduced in 14 counties(cities) ,accounted for 77 .8% ,after the transformation ;there were 8 coun-ties(cities) ,accounted for 44 .4% ,set up the independent TB outpatient in the designated hospital ;there were 4 counties(cities) ,ac-counted for 22 .2% ,received the evaluation of very goodandgoodfor the TB control work after the transformation .Conclusion The health administrative department should actively promote the counties (cities) without the completed medical qualification to transform the TB diagnosis and treatment mode and coordinate the related works to carry out smoothly .

Objective To analyze the willingness and influencing factors for usage of pre-exposure prophylaxis(PrEP) among male students who have sex with men (MSM) in universities of Guangxi. Meth-ods 295 MSM students in universities were recruited by Snow-balling methods. Questionnaires were self-administered to collect social demographic information,AIDS related risky sexual behaviors and willingness for usage of PrEP. Logistic regression was employed for univariate and multivariate analysis. Results Of the 295 MSM,58(19.7%)had ever heard PrEP,265(89.8%) said that they would like to use PrEP. Multivari-ate logistic regression analysis showed that those who had found partners through friends ( OR=11.419,95%CI:1.363~95.641), those who would advise his friend to use PrEP ( OR=87.946,95%CI:13.660-566. 222),those who concerned the convenience to gain the medicine ( OR=119.652,95%CI:3.765-3802.184) and those who said that they could take medicine every day ( OR=88.245,95%CI:10.237-760.696) were more likely to accept PrEP. The subjects whose partners would be angry if they stick to use condoms( OR=0.106,95%CI:0.019-0.606),and those who suspected the effectiveness of drugs( OR=0.010,95%CI:0. 001-0.112) were less likely to accept PrEP. Conclusion The acceptability of PrEP is high in university students'MSM. The safety of drugs and the convenience to gain the medicine are the main influencing factors for usage of PrEP.Using of PrEP should be strengthened to the MSM.

OBJECTIVETo assess the methodological quality and reporting quality on Meta-analysis being published in the Chinese Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery.

METHODSComputerized literature searching was carried out in Wanfang Medical Online to collect articles that Meta-analysis was used in the Chinese Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery since it was founded till July, 2014. Manual retrieval was also conducted. Two researchers independently screened for literature and extracted data. Qualities on methodologies or on the processes of reporting and reviewing were evaluated by both AMSTAR and PRISMA scales.

RESULTSForty-two papers on meta-analyses were included in this study. Results on the quality of methodology evaluation showed that the lowest and highest scores were 6 and 9 respectively, the median score was 7. Two articles (4.8%) were rated as high, 40 articles (95.2%) as moderate and 0 articles (0%) as low. Although the quality of methodology was above the average, however, there were still some problems seen in some papers as the conflict of interest was not stated, the list of studies (included and excluded) was not provided, a comprehensive literature search was not performed, the likelihood of publication bias was not assessed, etc. Results on the quality of reporting evaluation showed that the lowest and highest scores were 14 and 22 respectively, the average score was 18.43 ± 2.03, 3 articles (7.1%) scored less than 15 points, 35 articles (83.3%) scored 15.5-21 points, and 4 articles (9.6%) scored 21.5-27 points. The included reviews had high quality on the titles of the report, inclusion criteria, rationale of introduction, synthesis of results, results of individual. However, the abstract, objectives of introduction, scheme and registered, inclusion criteria, research screening, additional analysis, conclusion limitations, funding support etc. were lack of comprehensive reports.

CONCLUSIONSArticles on Meta-analysis published in the Chinese Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery are of high quality. The Chinese Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery can provide better evidence for clinical decision to gastrointestinal surgeons. However, both of qualities on methodology and reports sill call for continuous improvement.

Human pluripotent stem cells provide an inexhaustible model to study human embryogenesis in vitro. Recent studies have provided diverse models to generate human blastoids by self-organization of different pluripotent stem cells or somatic reprogramming intermediates. However, whether blastoids can be generated from other cell types or whether they can recapitulate postimplantation development in vitro is unknown. Here, we develop a strategy to generate human blastoids from heterogeneous intermediates with epiblast, trophectoderm, and primitive endoderm signatures of the primed-to-naïve conversion process, which resemble natural blastocysts in morphological architecture, composition of cell lineages, transcriptome, and lineage differentiation potential. In addition, these blastoids reflect many features of human peri-implantation and pregastrulation development when further cultured in an in vitro 3D culture system. In summary, our study provides an alternative strategy to generate human blastoids and offers insights into human early embryogenesis by modeling peri- and postimplantation development in vitro.
