The interferon-γ testing and the comparative cervical skin test were compared with the simple cervical hypersensitivity test routinely used in our country in herds infected with Mycobacterium bovis, in which 167 infected cattle from 5 herds were tested with interferon-γ testing and the comparative cervical test (CCT) simultaneously and other 106 cattle were tested with other hypersensitivity tests used as control for comparison. In these 167 cattle tested with both tests, 89 cattle were proved to be positive both in interferon-γ testing and CCT using the bovine PPD of Netherland with a coincidence rate of 92.7% (89/96). In 106 cattle the coincidence rate of positive reactions detected by γ-interferon test and CCT was 93.41% (78/83.5), that detected by the routine skin of foreign country was 62.26%(66/106); and that between the hypersensitivity test of China and foreign country was 92.19% (59/64). It is obvious that the interferon-γ testing and CCT seem to have higher coincidence rate and the specificity of the skin tests used in our country was rather low. Consequently, the use of the comparative cervical skin test should be considered to replace the routinely used shin tests.

Objective To understand the cognitive and behavioral characteristics of AIDS between male-male in college students, and to provide evidence for the prevention and control strategies. Methods Using cluster random sampling method, the questionnaire survey including basic situation, the perception of HIV/AIDS of male male actors, sexual behavior and condom use and HIV/AIDS counseling detection, was used to investigate in male students of 8 universities at Beijing fangshan distric. Results A total of 2444 male college students were surveyed, 138 cases with male-male behavior were detected, and the detection rate was 5.65%. The detection rate (18.31%) of the junior college students was statistically higher than that of first-year college students (4.28%) and sophomores (6.52%, P<0.017). The awareness rates of four relevant knowledge about HIV/AIDS for 138 students were 25.36%, 15.22%, 9.42%and 13.77%respectively. The 44.93%male-male in college students had first sexual intercourse were younger than 18 years old. The proportion of students with first time male-male behavior and age <18 years was higher in the first-year college students (58.9%) than that of sophomores and junior college students (30.77%, 26.92%). The incidence rate of bisexuality was 43.48% in male-male behavior, and 73.91% was polysexual partners. The correct usage rate of condom was 31.16%. AIDS counseling detection rate was 27.54%. Conclusion The detection rate is higher in students with male-male behavior, and the awareness rate of AIDS-related knowledge is lower. A variety of high risk sexual behaviors are prevalent, so it is necessary to strengthen HIV/AIDS education and HIV/AIDS related knowledge for college students.

The high-content image-based assay is commonly leveraged for identifying the pheno-typic impact of genetic perturbations in biology field.However,a persistent issue remains unsolved during experiments:the interferential technical noises caused by systematic errors(e.g.,tempera-ture,reagent concentration,and well location)are always mixed up with the real biological signals,leading to misinterpretation of any conclusion drawn.Here,we reported a mean teacher-based deep learning model(DeepNoise)that can disentangle biological signals from the experimental noises.Specifically,we aimed to classify the phenotypic impact of 1108 different genetic perturbations screened from 125,510 fluorescent microscopy images,which were totally unrecognizable by the human eye.We validated our model by participating in the Recursion Cellular Image Classification Challenge,and DeepNoise achieved an extremely high classification score(accuracy:99.596%),ranking the 2nd place among 866 participating groups.This promising result indicates the success-ful separation of biological and technical factors,which might help decrease the cost of treatment development and expedite the drug discovery process.The source code of DeepNoise is available at https://github.com/Scu-sen/Recursion-Cellular-Image-Classification-Challenge.

During the COVID-19 epidemic, our national guidelines have suggested that surgical patients should wear a mask to decrease the potential transmission of COVID-19 in the operating room, as long as the condition allows. However, so far, there is no study to discuss the influence of wearing a mask on the ventilation and blood oxygenation status in patients of spontaneous breathing with supplementary oxygen through an anesthetic facemask. This is a before-after study in the same patient, and 10 healthy volunteers were recruited, by testing the arterial blood gas parameters at key time points before and after oxygen inhalation to evaluate the effects of two different supplementary oxygen methods ('disposable medical mask + anesthetic facemask' and 'anesthetic facemask only') on the oxygenation of subjects. Our data demonstrated whether wearing a disposable medical mask or not could effectively increase the oxygen supply of the subjects compared with the basic value before oxygen inhalation; however, compared with the group without mask, the arterial oxygen partial (PaO
