Objective:To compare acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) related knowledge, attitudes, behaviors and their influencing factors among college students in different years in Beijing, and to provide evidence for targeted health education among college students in future.Methods: College students were selected by the stratified cluster sampling method, and a questionnaire survey was conducted among college students in year 2006 and 2016 in Beijing.The sample sizes were 1 800 and 3 001 college students, respectively.The contents of the questionnaire included: socio-demographic characteristics, AIDS related knowledge, AIDS related attitude, sex intercourse and its related risk behaviors, condom use intension, and AIDS related health education.Results: Compared with the year 2006, the average AIDS knowledge scores of college students in year 2016 dropped from 12.78±1.95 to 11.90±2.56 (t=12.91, P<0.05), and the correct answer rates of questions in the knowledge part were decreased, too.Except for belief on condom use, the college students were more negative on AIDS related attitude and self-efficacy in year 2016 than in year 2006.Among the students who had sex experience, the rates of commercial sex [17.65% (33/187) vs.6.53% (16/245), χ2=13.003, P<0.001] and the rates of homo-sexual intercourse [15.43% (29/188) vs.4.13% (10/242), χ2=16.356, P<0.001] were higher in year 2016 than in year 2006.The main way for the students seeking pornographic information was changed from books to internet (41.15%) in 2016 compared with the year 2016.In 2016, the influencing factors of intention on condom use were male (OR=0.713), self-efficacy of condom purchase (OR=0.876), never received sex education before college (OR=0.752), self-efficacy of condom use (OR=1.135), belief of condom use (OR=1.775), and attitude towards AIDS patients (OR=1.136).Conclusion: AIDS related knowledge, attitudes and behaviors among college students have been changed, AIDS related health education should be designed and improved based on new characteristics of college students.AIDS health education in colleges should pay more attention to sex attitude and sex responsibility and self-protection awareness among college students as well.

Objective To explore the protective effect and mechanism of vitamin D combined with puerarin on liver fibrosis.Methods The rats were divided into normal control group (C),tetrachloromethone group (CCl4),vitamin D group (V),puerarin group(P) and vitamin D combined with puerarin group(V+P).After 8 weeks,the rats were sacrificed and blood and liver samples were collected.The level of blood hyaluronic acid(HA) was tested.The hydroxyproline(Hyp) level in the liver was measured.The liver paraffin sections were made and examined by the sirius red staining.The mRNA levels of collagen Ⅰ and collagen Ⅲ in the liver tissue were detected by RT-PCR,and the levels of NF-κB and TNF-α in the liver were detected by Western blot.Results The CCl4 group appeared obvious liver fibrosis.The liver fibrosis degree was significantly improved in the group V,P and V+P,the blood HA level and liver Hyp level were reduced.The mRNA levels of collagen Ⅰ and collagen Ⅲ as well as the protein levels of NF-κB and TNF-α in the liver were significantly decreased.Among them.The liver fibrosis improvement degree in the V+P group was most significant.Conclusion Vitamin D combined with puerarin can protect rat liver fibrosis induced by CCl4 and its mechanism may be related with reducing the activation of hepatic stellate cells(HSC) and decreasing the collagenous fibers secretion.

Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies become the major product class within the biopharmaceutical market. Protein A as the first capture step is still dominant in current platforms for purification of monoclonal antibodies. In this study, we developed a new antibody harvest process that incorporates acidic treatment of cell harvest, demonstrating high process yield, improved clearance of host cell associated contaminants, like non-histone host cell protein, histone, DNA and heteroaggregates. Host protein contamination was reduced about 10-fold compared to protein A loaded with harvest clarified by centrifugation and microfiltration. Turbidity increase of eluted IgG upon pH neutralization was nearly eliminated. Residual levels of impurities in the protein A eluate were achieved that potentially meet requirements of drug substance and thus alleviate the burden for further impurities removal in subsequent chromatography steps. The mechanism of host cell associated contaminants removal during acidic treatment was also explored. After a polishing step by Capto adhere, host cell protein was reduced to less than 5 ppm, DNA less than 1 ppb, histone to undetectable level, heteroaggregates less than 0.01% with total IgG recovery around 87%. This efficient process can be easily integrated into current IgG purification platforms, and may overcome downstream processing challenges.
