Objective To research the brain hemodynamic changes in hyperacute cerebral infarction. Methods Focal cerebral ischemia models were presented in 42 healthy New Zealand rabbits by obstructing the unilateral middle cerebral artery with modified O’Brein method. Dynamic scans with intravenous bolus injection of contrast were performed at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6h separately after operation by Siemens Somatom Plus 4 Power spiral CT scanner. Then data were input into Siemens Magic View 50 workstation and processed with perfusion CT/VA 10B system. Six cerebral blood functional perfusion maps were obtained. rCBF, rCBV, rTP, rTS of bilateral symmetric interesting regions were calculated. Results Between 0.5-6 hours after operation, the rCBF and rCBV of ischemic cores and peri-ischemic areas decreased subsequently along with times of ischemia developing. rTP、rTS of cores increased at first, then decreased to 0. rTP, rTS of peri-ischemic areas prolonged at all times. Conclusion The ischemic degree, perfusion state of ischemic tissues in brain can be estimated by hemodynamic parameters, which provide useful information for the diagnosis, therapy and prognosis of hyperacute cerebral infarction.

Objective:
To understand the molecular subtypes and recombinant structure of HIV-1 infection in Zhejiang Province.
Methods:
According to the method of stratified random sampling method, a total of 302 newly HIV infected people (excluding AIDS patients) were selected as the subjects of the investigation from April to June, 2015, who were all newly HIV positive patients reported in Zhejiang Province and were diagnosed as HIV positive and had not received antiretroviral treatment. Questionnaires were used to collect information such as gender, residency, marital status, route of transmission and case reporting area. At least 8 ml of venous blood was collected from HIV infected people, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and nested PCR were used to amplify the pol gene sequence of HIV-1 strains and circulating recombination forms (CRF) and unique recombinant form (URF) strains were screened using phylogenetic tree, and molecular subtype analysis and recombinant analysis were performed.
Results:
Of the 302 HIV infected people, 18 cases were infected with new CRFs or URFs, among which 15 were male (83.3%), 3 were heterosexual transmission (17.7%); 8 cases (44.4%) were infected with new CRFs, which included CRF55_01B 5(27.8%), CRF67_01B 2 (11.1%), CRF69_01B 1 (5.6%); 10 cases (55.6%) were infected with URFs, in which 6 cases were infected with two groups of recombinant strains composed of CRF01_AE subtype and CRF07_BC subtypes in pol region, 3 cases were infected with three groups of recombinant strains of the two subtypes in pol region, and 1 case could not be accurately determined of the recombinant structure. The results of recombinant source analysis showed that the newly recombinant strains found from Zhejiang province were highly homologous to the strains from Guangdong, Anhui, Hebei, Yunnan, Liaoning province, and the sequence similarity was 94.4%-98.0%.
Conclusion
The new recombinant strains of Zhejiang province included CRFs strains and URFs strains with CRF01_AE and CRF07_BC as the main recombinant structure mode, and all of them were introduced from other places and formed a trans-regional chain of HIV transmission.

Objective:To establish a mouse model of gastric cancer by inoculating MKN45 cells into mice with normal immune function utilizing microcarrier technology. Methods:A total of 60 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three groups, namely, 2D, con-trol, and 3D groups, according to the coculture system of MKN45 and microcarrier. The mouse models of gastric carcinoma were estab-lished by hypodermic injection. The time of tumorigenesis, rate of tumor formation, and pathological features were observed in each group. Results:In the 3D group, the time of tumor formation was short, whereas the rate of tumor formation was high (80%). No de-tectable tumor formations were observed in the 2D and control groups. HE and immunohistochemical staining of the transplantation tumor model showed evident characteristics of human gastric cancer. Conclusion:A human gastric cancer model in normal immune mice was successfully established. The onset and development mechanism of gastric cancer could be more effectively investigated in mice with normal immune function through this model. Moreover, a more valuable and new animal model for the research and devel-opment of anticancer drug was established.

Objective:To investigate the factors associated with delay in anticoagulant therapy in patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) and its effect on outcome.Methods:Patients with CVST admitted to Changhai Hospital, Naval Medical University from January 2010 to August 2021 were retrospectively enrolled. Patients were divided into early anticoagulation group and late anticoagulation group by the median time interval from first symptom to initiation of anticoagulation. The modified Rankin Scale was used for outcome assessment at 90 d after onset. 0-2 scores were defined as good outcome and 3-6 were defined as poor outcome. Demographic and clinical data were compared for the early versus late anticoagulation group and for the good versus poor outcome groups. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify independent influencing factors of delay in anticoagulation and the correlation of delay in anticoagulation with poor outcome. Results:A total of 131 patients were included, their age was 40.07±15.11 years old, and 68 (51.91%) were male. Of these, 65 patients (49.62%) were in the early anticoagulation group and 14 (10.69%) were in the poor outcome group. Compared with the late anticoagulation group, the early anticoagulation group had a significantly higher proportion of patients with seizures and brain parenchymal damage as well as higher D-dimer levels on admission, while the proportion of patients with visual impairment/papilloedema was significantly lower (all P<0.05). Compared with the good outcome group, the poor outcome group had significantly higher proportions of patients with seizures, dyskinesia, impaired consciousness, low Glasgow Coma Scale score, and brain parenchymal damage as well as higher D-dimer, total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, sites of thrombus involvement were more common in the superior sagittal and straight sinuses, and significantly lower proportions of patients with headache and lower albumin levels on admission (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that visual impairment/papilloedema (odds ratio [ OR] 0.119, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 0.030-0.473; P=0.002) and brain parenchymal damage ( OR 1.341, 95% CI 1.042-1.727; P=0.023) were independently associated with a delay in anticoagulation treatment, and a delay in anticoagulation treatment ( OR 6.102, 95% CI 1.185-30.504; P=0.030) and D-dimer level on admission ( OR 1.299, 95% CI 1.141-1.480; P<0.001) were the independent predictors of poor outcome in patients with CVST. Conclusions:Visual impairment/papilloedema and absence of brain parenchymal damage on cranial imaging are the independent risk factors for delay in anticoagulation in patients with CVST. The delay in anticoagulation is strongly associated with the poor outcome in patients with CVST.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of subtype diversity and transmission on HIV-1 among 12 to 30 years old student MSM in Zhejiang province.Methods:A total of 290 newly diagnosed HIV infected student MSM were selected as the research objects for molecular studies on HIV, in Zhejiang province during 2013 to 2015. Data on epidemiology and plasma samples of these people were collected. HIV-1 nucleotide sequences of pol gene regions were amplified using the RT-PCR/nested PCR method and sequenced. Phylogenetic analysis was performed to determine the HIV-1 genotypes. Characteristics of transmission mode among these cases were also analyzed. Results:A total of 290 cases, 50.3 % were diagnosed in Hangzhou and 81.0 % had college or above degrees. 178 sequences including 10 subtypes, were obtained, with the main subtypes as CRF01_AE (49.4 %, 88/178) and CRF07_BC (39.3 %, 70/178). A total of 18 molecular transmission clusters were formed (42 cases, cluster size from 2 to 4), with the proportions of clusters as 23.6 % (42/178). 61.9 % (26/42) of student MSM with their schools located in the same district within the transmission clusters. Their sexual partners would include both student MSM and non-student MSM. The proportion of clusters among middle school students was 38.2 % (13/34), higher than that of college students (20.1 %, 29/144) ( χ2=4.996, P<0.05). Conclusions:The HIV-1 subtypes of student MSM in Zhejiang province appeared diversity, which indicated with the diversity of sources of infection. The geographical distribution of cluster cases is relatively centralized. In order to effectively control the spread of AIDS, more attention should be paid to the sexual partners involved and to specific programs on intervention.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between HIV-infected men who have sex with men and their sexual partners in Zhejiang province.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted to recruit newly confirmed HIV/AIDS among MSM from 2015 to 2017, including sexual partner identification and molecular epidemiological study. Plasma was collected to extract RNA, and the pol gene of HIV-1 was amplified by RT-PCR/nested PCR. Phylogenetic tree and molecular transmission cluster were analyzed to identify the transmission relationship between sexual partners. Results:A total of 937 HIV/AIDS among MSM were recruited to promote HIV testing for their sexual partners, and 173 positive sexual partners were identified. 50.8% (61/120) of the gene sequences were clustered among the positive sex partners. Seven pairs of clustered sex partners combined with the results of recent infection preliminarily determined the transmission direction. In the clusters, there were statistical differences between the partners who were diagnosed in the same year ( OR=12.190, 95% CI: 1.563-95.054) or with current residence in the different districts ( OR=17.054, 95% CI: 1.742-166.982). Conclusions:Combined with a molecular transmission network, HIV test for the sexual partners of HIV/AIDS among MSM can improve the accurate tracking of cases and preliminarily determine the direction of transmission, according to the results of recent infection. It is suggested that after HIV is confirmed for HIV/AIDS among MSM, HIV tests should be carried out as soon as possible for their sexual partners, including a cross-regional sexual partner tracking test, which is helpful to improve the tracing procedure.
