OBJECTIVEThis aimed to investigate the effect of specific sequence oligodeoxynucleotide MT01 on the biological properties of osteoblasts invaded by Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis ) by evaluating proliferation, cell cycle, and apoptosis.
METHODSMG63 osteoblasts were recovered and incubated with MT01, CpG ODN, metronidazole (MNZ), and gentamicin (GEN) for 3 h. P. gingivalis (the multiplicity of infection was 100:1) was added subsequently and cocultured for another 24 and 48 h. Cells with PBS comprised the blank group, whereas cells with P. gingivalis comprised the negative controls. Six experimental groups were established: PBS group, P. gingivalis group, MT01+P. gingivalis group, CpG ODN+ P. gingivalis group, MNZ+P. gingivalis group, and GEN+P. gingivalis group. The proliferative ability was measured by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay, and the percentages of apoptosis and cell cycle were examined by flow cytometry.
RESULTSCompared with the blank group, proliferation increased significantly in the MT01+P. gingivalis group (P < 0.05). The ratio of cells was lower at the G₁ phase and higher at the S phase in the MT01+P. gingivalis group compared with the results in the P. gingivalis group (P < 0.05). Early cell apoptosis in the MT01+P. gingivalis group was significantly lower than that in the P. gingivalis group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONMT01 can promote the proliferation, reduce the ratio of the G₁phase, increase the ratio of the S phase, and inhibit the early apoptosis of osteoblasts invaded by P. gingivalis.

Objective To investigate the influence of diabetes mellitus (DM) on left ventricular(LV) remodeling in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within 12 hours of symptom onset. Methods Four hundred and fifty-one consecutive patients with acute STEMI treated by primary PCI were prospectively enrolled in the current study. Baseline, angiographic and PCI features and prevalence of LV remodeling at one-week during hospitalization and 6-month clinical follow-up by two-dimensional echocardiography were compared between 93 diabetic and 358 non-diabetic patients. Results Despite similar baseline clinical and angiographic characteristics, symptom-to-door time was longer (399±106 min vs. 321±116 min, P=0.006) and prevalence of multivessel disease was higher (65.6%vs. 51.7%, P=0.02) in diabetic patients. More patients in diabetic group had LV remodeling at 6-month clinical follow-up (29.0%vs. 17.3%, P=0.01), and DM was an independent predictor of LV remodeling (RR 2.1, 95%CI 1.31-4.79, P=0.02). The rate of rehospitalization due to heart failure did not differ between diabetic and non-diabetic patients (12.9%vs. 8.1%, P=0.15), however, more adverse events occurred in patients with LV remodeling comparing to those without LV remodeling (25.8% vs. 6.6%, P < 0.001). Conclusions Diabetic patients with STEMI often have an increased risk of LV remodeling after treated by primary PCI. Thus, comprehensive therapeutic strategy for diabetic patients presented with STEMI is required considering the poor prognosis of these patients with LV remodeling.

Objective:
To investigate the risk factors for yersiniosis, so as to provide insights into prevention of yersiniosis.
Methods:
The patients with yersiniosis admitted to the clinics in the surveillance site of Chengbei Township of Jin'an District and Chengnan Township of Yu'an District in Lu'an City from 2013 to 2021 were included as the case group, and the healthy family members matched to cases were selected as the family control group, while normal residents with a 1︰2 match in the same village, gender, and age difference within 5 years were included in the community control group. Participants' demographics, hand-washing and eating habits, living environment hygiene, poultry and livestock feeding were collected using questionnaire surveys, and factors affecting yersiniosis were identified using a multivariable conditional logistic regression model.
Results:
There were 43 cases in the case group, with a median (interquartile range) age of 45 (34) years, 91 cases in the family control group, with a median (interquartile range) age of 36 (36) years and 86 cases in the community control group, with a median (interquartile range) age of 46 (34) years. Multivariable conditional logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the family control group, the habit of drinking unboiled water (OR=6.721, 95%CI: 1.765-25.588), and direct consumption of food stored in the refrigerator (OR=7.089, 95%CI: 1.873-26.829) were risk factors for yersiniosis in the case group; and compared with the community control group, not washing hands after contacting with poultry and livestock (OR=50.592, 95%CI: 2.758-927.997), habit of eating raw vegetables and fruits (OR=5.340, 95%CI: 1.022-27.887), direct consumption of food stored in the refrigerator (OR=19.973, 95%CI: 2.118-188.336), and unclean refrigerator (OR=12.692, 95%CI: 1.992-80.869) were risk factors for yersiniosis in the case group. Compared with the family and community control groups, not washing hands after contacting with poultry and livestock (OR=4.075, 95%CI: 1.427-11.637), habit of drinking unboiled water (OR=4.153, 95%CI: 1.331-12.957), habit of eating raw vegetables and fruits (OR=4.744, 95%CI: 1.609-13.993), and direct consumption of food stored in the refrigerator (OR=5.051, 95%CI: 1.773-14.395) were risk factors for yersiniosis in the control group.
Conclusion
Unhealthy habits such as eating raw vegetables and fruits, drinking unboiled water, direct consumption of food stored in the refrigerator, unclean refrigerator, and not washing hands after contacting poultry and livestock may increase the risk of yersiniosis.

Objective To analyse and compare the effects and safety of early use (in emergency room, intravenous loading followed by infusion) with bolus injection during primary PCI of tirofiban, on post-procedural TIMI flow and 30d clinical outcomes. Methods Seven hundred and seven patients with acute STEMI treated by primary PCI in Ruijin hospital were retrospectively and enrolled screened. Among them, 86 patients with single bolus intra-coronary injection of tirofiban (25 μg/kg) during the procedure were served as observation group. Baseline, angiographic, PCI features and rate of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at 30 d follow-up were compared with those received early intravenous infusion of tirofiban (10ug/kg bolus followed by 0.15μg/(kg·min) intravenous infusion)(control group, n=239). Results Compared with control group, patients in observation group were older[(63.8±11.4) vs. (57.9±8.8), P=0.01], had higher prevalence of hypertension (58.6%vs. 51.0%, P=0.005), multivessel disease (57.0%vs. 34.3%, P<0.001), and female in gender (40.7%vs. 25.1%, P=0.006). Post-procedural TIMI flow in culprit vessel and TMP grade were comparable between the two groups (P=0.66 and P=0.48, respectively). Reduction in TIMI minimal bleeding events were found in the observation group (2.3%vs. 9.6%, P=0.03). MACE free survival rate at 30d clinical follow-up was similar between the two groups (P=0.48). Conclusions Single bolus intra-coronary injection of tirofiban exerts similar effects in post-procedural TIMI flow, TMP grade in culprit vessel and 30d clinical outcomes compared with early use in emergency room with intra-venous loading and infusion, nevertheless, intra-coronary injection resulted in significantly reduced TIMI minimal bleeding events. Prospective, randomized clinical study is mandatory to prove our current results.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2019;40(4):527-530
Objective:
Explore the feasibility of POL intervention based on life skills in young students at high-risk of AIDS, and to provide reference for POL intervention.
Methods:
Nine potential POLs were recruited from young students at high risk of AIDS in Xi’an, and received life-skill-based interventions from May to October in 2017. A unified approach was adopted before the intervention. The effect of intervention was evaluated at 1 month and 3 months after the intervention.
Results:
The difference in POLs peer status and psychosocial ability scores was not significant after the intervention. The scores of persistence efficacy dimension of condom use efficacy before, 1-month and 3-month after the intervention were (10.56±1.88)(11.11±2.21)(12.89±2.09)(F=6.84, P<0.05) respectively. No significant changes were found in AIDS-related knowledge and behavior before and after the intervention. POL has increased from 108 students before intervention to 216 publicity coverage after three months intervention, however, the difference was not statistically significant. Feasibility analysis of the POL intervention showed that 8 of the POLs considered to be "very useful".
Conclusion
Life skill-based POL intervention for young students at high-risk of AIDS has a wide coverage and reasonable acceptance, as well as condom use adherence. The long-term effectiveness still needs to be verified.

Objective:
To understand HIV knowledge and high-risk sexual behaviors among men who have sex with men (MSM) in the HIV-infected students’ social network, and to provide a scentific reference of making targeted and effective measures.
Methods:
A mixed recruitment method of snowball sampling and respondent driven sampling was used to recruit HIV-infected students with the help of local CDC in Harbin, Tianjin, Xi’an and Chongqing, with demographic information, sexual behaviors and HIV knowledge collected via questionnaire survey.
Results:
A total of 549 valid questionnaires were analyzed. Among them, the awareness rate of "Guo Ba Tiao" was 90.7% and the awareness rate of "Qing Ba Tiao" was 89.4%, the consistent condom use rate was 59.4%. Among those who were aware of HIV, 40.8% exhibit the mismatch between HIV knowledge and condom use behavior, which was significantly associated with number and types of sex partners. Those who had 1-3 regular male sex partners (1 partner: aOR=2.48, 95%CI=1.61-3.82; 2-3 partners: aOR=2.45,95%CI=1.44-4.15),or 1-3 causal male sex partners (1 partner: a-OR=1.74, 95%CI=1.10-2.77; 2-3 partners: aOR=2.15, 95%CI=1.34-3.46) were more likely for this mismatch. Those who had more than one commercial male sex partner(aOR=3.35, 95%CI=1.15-9.80), or more than one regular female sex partner (aOR=2.49, 95%CI=1.17-5.28), or more than one casual female sex partner(OR=2.80, 95%CI=1.01-7.71), the risk for this mismatch was also high.
Conclusion
The mismatch between HIV knowledge and condom use behavior among MSM students from the social network of young students living with HIV/AIDS is severe. It is necessary to carry out tailored HIV intervention to reduce the transmission of HIV among those people.

Objective:To determine the correlation of tumor volume and weight with biochemical parameters in patients with parathyroid adenoma (PA) .Methods:A prospective electronic database collected clinical data on 208 patients with PA treated for the first time by surgery at department of general surgery, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College.The relationship between biochemical parameters and tumor volume and weight was analyzed with Spearman’s correlation.Results:Tumor volume and weight were positively correlated with parathyroid hormone (PTH) ( r=0.33, P<0.001; r=0.39, P<0.001), calcium ( r=0.16, P=0.018; r=0.18, P=0.007) and alkaline phosphatase levels ( r=0.24, P<0.001; r=0.27, P<0.001), respectively. Clinical correlates affecting serum PTH were age, serum calcium and tumor weight ( F=30.325, P<0.001) . Conclusions:Tumor burden in patients with PA correlates with some laboratory biochemical parameters. Age and cystic lesions of the tumor may influence the actual serum PTH levels.
