Objective To analyze the survival status and influencing factors among HIV/AIDS transmitted through homosexual contact from 2004 to 2022 in Nan'an District, Chongqing, China. Methods HIV infected/AIDS patients transmitted through homosexual contact in Nan'an District, Chongqing from 2004 to 2022 were selected for analysis. The survival rate was calculated using the life table method, the median survival time was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the survival curve was plotted. The Cox regression model was performed to identify factors influencing survival. Results A total of 3 110 subjects were included in the study, of which 1 199 individuals (38.55%) were transmitted through homosexual contact. The majority of patients were under 30 years old (694, 57.88%), unmarried (917, 76.48%), and had a higher education level of college or above (724, 60.38%), mainly belonging to the Han ethnicity (1 160, 96.75%). Students accounted for 10.43% of occupational status. The majority of patients were initially diagnosed with HIV (1 104, 92.08%), with 71.45% having a CD4+T lymphocyte count >350 cells/μL at the time of initial testing. The primary source of samples was from testing and consultation (52.88%), and the vast majority (93.16%) underwent antiviral treatment. The median survival time for patients transmitted through homosexual contact was 191.45 months, which was higher than 158.37 months of patients transmitted through other routes, demonstrating statistical significance (P<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that among patients transmitted through homosexual contact, those with CD4+T lymphocyte count≤200 cells/μL had a higher risk of death compared to those with CD4+ T lymphocyte count>350 cells/μL. HIV infected/AIDS patients who did not receive antiviral treatment also had a higher risk of death. Conclusions From 2004 to 2022, the reported incidence level of HIV/AIDS in Nan'an District showed an overall upward trend, with a slight decrease influenced by respiratory infectious diseases.The risk of death for individuals infected through same-sex transmission routes had not yet been found to be significantly lower than that of other transmission routes, which may be influenced by the late diagnosis time and short follow-up time of individuals infected through same-sex transmission routes.

On account of the dense cuticles of the fresh stem and the light, hard and pliable texture of the dried stem, Dendrobii Caulis is difficult to dry or pulverize. So, it is very important to the ancient doctors that Dendrobii Caulis should be properly treated and applied to keep or evoke its medicinal effects. The current textual research results about the preliminary processing, processing and usage methods of Dendrobii Caulis showed that: (1) In history the clinical use of fresh or processed Dendrobii Caulis as teas and tinctures were very common. (2) Its roots and rhizomes would be removed before using. (3) Some ancillary approaches were applied to shorten drying times, such as rinsing with boiling mulberry-ash soup, washing or soaking with liquor, mixing with rice pulp and then basking, etc. (4) According to the ancients knowledge, the sufficient pulverization, by means of slicing, rasping, hitting or pestling techniques, was necessary for Dendrobii Caulis to take its effects. (5) The heat processing methods for Dendrobii Caulis included stir-baking, stir-frying, steaming, decocting and stewing techniques, usually with liquor as an auxiliary material. Among above mentioned, steaming by pretreating with liquor was most commonly used, and this scheme was colorfully drawn in Bu Yi Lei Gong Pao Zhi Bian Lan (Ming Dynasty, 1591 CE) ; moreover, decocting in advance or long-time simmering so as to prepare paste products were recommended in the Qing Dynasty. (6) Some different processing programs involving stir-baking with grit, air-tightly baking with ondol (Kangs), fumigating with sulfur, which appeared in modern times and brought attractive outward appearance of the drug, went against ancients original intentions of ensuring drug efficacy.

This study is to investigate the sedative and hypnotic effects of a novel compound H1208. The sedative activity of H1208 was investigated by recording the spontaneous locomotor activity of mice. The hypnotic property was evaluated by the latency and duration of sleep (loss of righting reflex) in mice and the effect of hypnotics on sleep pattern of electroencephalogram were studied in conscious, freely moving mice with chronically implanted electrodes. The brain monoamine neurotransmitters levels in mice were measured by high performance liquid chromatography-electrochemical detection. The spontaneous locomotor activity was decreased by 56.7% and 80.2% in H1208 (5 and 25 mg x kg(-1), ip) treated mice, respectively. The loss of righting reflex was directly induced in mice after H1208 (60 mg x kg(-1), ip) administration. The non-rapid eye movement sleep increased significantly by 131% and 259%, respectively, within 3 hours after H1208 (30 and 60 mg x kg(-1), ip) administration. However, the rapid eye movement sleep decreased significantly. The contents of DA in the striatum and cortex and 5-HT in the cortex decreased significantly. These results demonstrated that H1208 has potent sedative and hypnotic effects, which may be closely related to the decreased contents of DA and 5-HT in mouse brain.

pH, affects of different alkaline materials KOH, K 2CO 3, NaOH, Na 2CO 3 on the growth, and NaCl, KCl tolerance of 29 isolates from the saline and alkaline soils in Xinjiang and Qinghai Provinces of China and 1 type strain were studied. Results showed that only a few alkaliphilic actinomycetes were Na +-obligately dependent, and K +-sensitive. Some alkaliphilic actinomycetes were CO 3 2- -sensitive, and NaCl, KCl could inhibit their growth. 4 kinds of alkaline materials had no affect on growth of alkaliphilic Nocardiopsis, and these strains showed high tolerance to NaCl, KCl. So it was presumed that only K + and CO 3 2- obligately dependent alkaliphilic Actinomycetes maybe exist in alkaline environments.

To improve the efficiency of halophilic actinobacteria screening and carry out the rapid selection of targeted strains, we tested 34 strains of Streptomonospora by PCR-single strand conformation polymorphism analysis (PCR-SSCP) based on genus-specific primers for the PCR identification. This approach employs PCR with two pairs of primers located in the 16S rRNA sequence flanking two variable region, then build clustering tree according as SSCP data. Synchronously, we sequenced all the 16S rRNA partial sequences for these strains to verify them. The results showed that the PCR-SSCP analysis was an efficient, easy-to-handle and economic method for rapid selection of halophilic actinobacteria resources.

Objective To explore an effective method in reconstructing of burn scar contracture of the chin and neck in children. Methods The blood in the transverse cervical artery might flow reverse into the suprascapular artery and the posterior intercostals perforators through anastomic branches. An axial skin flap in the cervico-scapulo-dorsal area could be adequately supplied by this artery, and we had therefore used this flap to repair burn scar in the neck. Results 30 cases obtained satisfactory clinical results with this flap. The follow-up for two years in 18 patients showed that the neck of the patients moved about freely, and the develpment of the chin was not influenced, and the color of flaps was fine. Conclusion The blood supply of the flap is reliable and stable. So it is a very useful method in reconstructing the burn scar of the chin-neck in children.
