Objective:To analyze the high risk behaviors of HIV/AIDS and its influencing factors in men who have sex with man(MSM)in a city,so as to provide evidence for the targeted intervention.Methods:Between July 2006 and October 2006,1000 MSM were sampled by snowball sampling and had a face to face interview by well trained investigators with informed consent.Questions on age,education background,and sex orientation were designated and 3 ml blood samples were obtained for examination of HIV and syphilis.?2 test and logistic regression analysis were used for statistical analysis.Results:The average age of the 1 000 MSM was 27.8?9.1 years old.In the past 6 months,43.6% of them had 3 or more male sex partners,53.6% had unprotected anal intercourse with men,8.0% had commercial sex with men,and 24.3% had sex with women.Elder subjects had a higher ratio of unprotected anal intercourse and male-female sex;subjects with lower educational background had more sex partners and male-female sex.Subjects working in the bathhouse had a higher ratio of commercial sex and male-female sex.Subjects with a male-female sex orientation or undetermined sex orientation had a higher ratio of commercial sex.Syphilis was detected in 93(9.3%)subjects and HIV was detected in 104(10.4%)subjects;among them 18 subjects had both syphilis and HIV.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the aged(OR=3.5,95%CI 1.7-7.1),the number of male sex partners(OR=3.8,95%CI 1.9-7.6),the behavior of unprotected anal intercourse(OR=1.9,95%CI 1.0-3.5)and the infection of syphilis(OR=2.1,95%CI 1.4-3.4)were independently associated with the risk of HIV/AIDS prevalence;the knowledge of AIDS was the protective factor of HIV/AIDS prevalence(OR=0.5,95%CI 0.3-0.7).Conclusion:High risk behaviors of HIV exist in MSM population in the researched city;there is local epidemic of HIV.Interventions should be given according to age,educational background,sex orientation,etc.

Objective To address the expression correlation of ribosome-related genes in rat regeneration liver(RL) and those in liver tumor at transcriptional level.Methods Genes involved in ribosome biogenesis,assembly and function,as well as their expression changes in liver tumor,were obtained by online data collection and literature review,and their expression profiles in rat regenerating liver were detected by Rat Genome 230 2.0 array.Expression similarities and differences of the above genes were analyzed using statistical methods. Results A total of 75 genes were found to be RL-related.In regenerated liver and liver tumor,the expressions of 18 genes increased and 6 genes decreased,and no significant expression changes were found in 51 genes in liver tumor.Conclusion The expression profiles of the ribosome-related genes in regenerated liver cells and liver tumor cells have both similarities and differences,and the former exhibit properties of more gradualness and complexity.

The effects of solid-state fermentation (SSF) and submerged fermentation (SmF) and the addition of olive oil on the whole-cell lipase production by Rhizopus chinensis CCTCC M201021 were investigated.Compared with SSF, higher biomass, hydrolytic activity and synthetic activity were observed in SmF.By the addition of olive oil, the synthetic activity of whole-cell lipase in both fermentations was enhanced significantly, especially in SmF, while the biomass and the hydrolytic activity were also increased.Hence, olive oil serves as both carbon source and the inducer of lipases in fermentation.It was also found that the synthetic activity of whole-cell lipase was not accordant to the hydrolytic activity during both SmF and SSF, suggesting that isoenzymes with difference in lipase properties may be produced by Rhizopus chinensis.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between transplantation of allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells (allo-PBSCs) and low incidence of leukemic relapse. Methods Thirty-seven adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia in first remission ( n =16) and chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase ( n =21) underwent allo-PBSCT from June 1997 to December 1999. A median number of CD34 + cells, CD3 + cells, CD4 + cells and CD8 + cells infused was 7.3 ?10 6/kg, 364?10 6/kg, 210?10 6/kg and 137?10 6/kg, respectively. Busulfan and cyclophosphamide were used as conditioning regimen (BU-CY2). All patients received cyclosporine and methotrexate for GVHD prophylaxis. Results Engraftment of neutrophil and platelet was achieved at a median of day +13(9～28) and day +12(7～19) respectively. Acute GVHD (aGVHD) occurred in 18 of 37 patients ( 48.6% ) with grade II～IV aGVHD ( 24.3% ). Chronic GVHD (cGVHD) developed in 22 (extensive 8, limited 14) out of 32 evaluable patients ( 68.8% ). 28 patients were still alive in complete remission at a median follow-up of 950 days (range 600～ 1 500 days). The main causes of death were aGVHD in two patients, CMV-IP in four patients, cGVHD in two patients, and relapse only in one patient. The probability of disease free survival at 3 years was 75.7% . Conclusion In our series, leukemia recurrence was seen only in one patient ( 2.7% ), suggesting that a high incidence of cGVHD may have an enhanced graft-versus-leukemia effect and hence reduce the incidence of relapse after transplantation.

Objective To survey the high risk behavior and infection of HIV/AIDS among men who have sex with men(MSM)and provide scientific evidence for HIV/AIDS prevention and control.Methods MSM were sampled by snowball sampling method and were interviewed by well trained investigators face to face under the informed consent.Their venous blood samples were collected for HIV seropositivity rate.Results A total of 1000 MSM,averagely aged(27.8?9.1)years,were interviewed,among whom 43.9% perceive AIDS knowledge.78.6% had anal intercourse with male partners,31.8% of whom always used condom in the past 6 months.8.0% participants had commercial sex with men in the past 6 months.The prevalence of HIV in the surveyed subjects was 10.4%.Conclusion Potential risk of HIV epidemic threatens local MSM who spread the risk to general population.High risk behavior is ubiquitous among MSM.It is imperative to carry out targeted interventions among MSM.

ObjectiveTo study the protective effect of Chinese Medical Formula Decoction on anoxic damage in cultured hippocampal neuronal cells from newborn rats. MethodsThe sera with Chinese Medicine (SCM-1,2,3) were collected from rats fed on Chinese Medical Formula Decoction Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ(CMFD-Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ) for 3 days,while the sera of rats which were fed with normal saline was collected as control. Hippocampal neuronal cells were obtained from dissociated cerebrella of 2 day old Wister rats. The cells were maintained in 5% CO2 humidified atmosphere at 37℃. After 7 days, the cells were grown in culture media containing SCM-1,2,3 and normal saline for 24 hours and in anoxic atmosphere for 1 hour. After anoxia, the cells were cultured for 24 hours. Culture media were collected and Malonaldehyde (MDA) and Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) in culture media were detected. ResultsThe survival neuronal cell rate in SCM-1 and 2 groups were significantly higher than control group. LDH and MDA in culture media of SCM-1 and 2 groups were lowed than control group. Conclusions There is a protective effect of CMFD-1 and 2 on anoxic damage in cultured hippocampal neuronal cells from newborn rats.

Objective To investigate the impact of metabolic syndrome(MS)on clinicopathology of IgA nephropathy(IgAN). Methods A total of 118 IgAN patients complicated with MS were enrolled in the study as IgAN-MS group. Then 118 IgAN patients of same age arrange without MS were randomly selected as IgAN-non-MS group.A comparative analysis of clinical and pathological data between these two groups was performed. Results The urine protein, serum creatinine, body mass index, mean arterial pressure, serum triglyceride, fasting blood glucose and serum uric acid in IgAN-MS group were all significantly higher than those in IgAN-non-MS group(P<0.05 or P<0.01). The serum HDL-C level in IgAN-MS group was significantly lower than that in IgAN-non-MS group(P<0.01). The percentages of patient with hypertension, abnormal glucose metabolism or abnormal lipid metabolism in IgAN-MS group were also significantly higher than those in IgAN-non-MS group(P <0.01). The glomerular and tubulointerstitial pathological changes in IgAN-MS group were significantly more severe than those in IgAN-non-MS group(P<0.01). There were significantly positive correlations between MS and urinary protein quantity, serum creatinine level, and glomerular damage index or tubulointerstitial damage index(P<0.01)by Spearman rank correlation analysis. Conclusion MS may be an important risk factor of IgAN progression.

levels are elevated in patients with NAFL and correlated with HOMA-IR, suggesting RBP4 may participate in the development of IR and NAFL.

Objective Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) is used more widely in recent years in China. However, there is an argument on benefits and risks of off-pump surgery. Many studies shown that OPCAB had more benefits in short-term outcomes than conventional coronary artery bypass grafting(CCABG). But evidences from other studies suggested that OPCAB resulted in less long-term graft patency as compared with on-pump surgery. This study examined the longterm graft patency of OPCAB and CCABG performed by one surgeon. Methods 50 patients who had received surgical revascularization by a surgeon for more than 5 years were reviewed, 25 patients received conventional coronary artery bypass grafting ( group 1 ) and 25 patients received OPCAB ( group 2). All patients had angiograms for compareing the graft patency between the two groups. Results Among 25 patients in group 1,21 were male and 4 were female. The mean age of patients at surgery was (55.4 ±8.9) years. 15 cases had unstable angina, 16 patients had old myocardial infarction and 6 cases had diabetes.The ejection fraction (EF) was 0.58 ±0.14. The mean number of bypasses per patient was 3.32 ±0.63. Mean duration of operation was (3.58 ± 0. 82) hours. Mean follow-up duration was ( 86.52 ± 12.48) months. 83 grafts were evaluated for patency ( open vs. closed) and were graded by Fitzgibbon as grade A ( excellent graft), B ( impaired graft, with a stenosis of ≥50%, or a diameter less than 50% of the grafted artery), or O ( completely occluded). The graft patency was 73.49%, 61grafts were graded as Fitzgibbon A, 6 grafts as Fitzgibbon B and 16 grafts as Fitzgibbon 0. 25 patients were in group 2, 21males and 4 females. The mean age of patients at procedure was (58.2 ± 9.09) years, 11 patients had unstable angina, 13 patients had old myocardial infarction and 6 cases had diabetes. The ejection fraction (EF) was 0.59 ± 0. 14. Conclusion No 2011.03.013 difference in long-term graft patency was identified between on-pump and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. Off-pump oronary artery bypass grafting preformed by an experienced surgeon may gain similar long-term graft patency to that of conventional bypass.
