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 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.

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 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.

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 evaluate regenerative nerve and functional recovery of target muscle in rats with sciatic nerve defect bridged by acellular nerve allograft made through chemical extraction.Methods Sciatic nerve of SD rats was processed in a volume fraction of 3％ Triton X-lO0 solution and 40 g/L sodium deoxycholate solution.Morphology of myelin sheath,axons and basal lamina tubes of sciatic nerve segments was observed under the light microscopy before and after the chemical processing.Twenty-five Wistar rats were divided into acellular nerve allograft group (n =10),autograft group (n =10) and normal control group(n =5) according to the random number table.A 1 cm sciatic nerve defect was created in acellular nerve allograft group and autograft group,and was respectively bridged by acellular nerve allograft and autograft.Sciatic nerve function index (SFI) was measured every two weeks.Twelve weeks after surgery,nerve conduction velocity (NCV),recovery rate of compound muscle action potential (CMAP) and recovery rate of muscle force were measured in each group.Results Cellular components including myelin sheath and axons were removed thoroughly,but the basal lamina tubes were preserved completely.At postoperative 2,4,6,8,10 and 12 weeks,SFI in normal control group (-1.7±5.9,-0.3 ±2.5,0.8 ±4.1,-1.4±3.6,-2.5 ±5.7 and-2.1±3.2) was superior over autograft group (-94.3±3.7,-90.1±4.1,-63.7±7.8,-51.9±8.2,-48.8±8.6 and -44.3 ± 10.5) and acellular nerve allograft group (-97.1 ± 5.3,-91.2 ± 6.1,-70.6 ± 5.5,-60.4±6.2,-58.2 ±10.2 and-56.4 ±8.0) (P ＜0.01).At postoperative 6,8,10 and 12 weeks,SFI in autograft group were better than those in acellular nerve allograft group (P ＜0.05).NCV [(61.6 ± 8.1) m/s],recovery rate of CMAP[(98.7 ± 5.9) ％] and recovery rate of muscle force [(101.8 ± 6.6) ％] in normal control group were higher than those in acellular nerve allograft group [(22.3 ± 4.7) m/s,(40.3 ± 9.2) ％ and (43.8 ± 9.3) ％] and those in autograft group [(29.0 ±5.5) m/s,(52.5 ± 10.6) ％ and (54.3 ± 10.5) ％] (P ＜ 0.01).NCV,recovery rate of CMAP and recovery rate of muscle force in autograft group were better than those in acellular nerve allograft group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Acellular nerve segments are harvested satisfactorily by chemical extraction.Sciatic nerve defect in rats can be cured with the acellular nerve allograft,but the repair effect of autograft is relatively better.

Objective To study the kidney histological categories of isolated hematuria in children.Methods Twenty-three children with isolated hematuria were performed renal biopsy under real time ultrasound guidance utilizing menghini style negative pressure biopsy device after local anesthesia or general anesthesia.The renopuncture tissue was directly sent by the mail-boxes to the remote pathologic service.All of the biopsies were examined by light microscopy,electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry.Results Biopsies were classified as measangial proliferative glomerulonephritis(MsPGN)(8 cases),minimal change nephropathy(MCN)(5 cases),IgA nephropathy(IgAN)(4 cases),thin basement membrane nephropathy(TMN)(3 cases),Alport′s syndrome(AS)(1 case),focal segmental glomerulosclerosis(FSGS)(1 case)and IgM nephropathy(IgMN)(1 case).Conclusions In this series,MsPGN,MGA,IgAN are the most common biopsy diagnosis.TMN and Alport′s are account for some proportion.A few IgMN and FSGS may also present as isolated hematuria.

BACKGROUND:Perioperative hypothermia may lead to coagulation function for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty,and an increase in blood loss.OBJECTIVE:To compare the influence of temperature protection with non-temperature protection on coagulation function in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.METHODS:Forty ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients scheduled for total knee arthroplasty were randomly divided into temperature protection and non-temperature protection groups (n=20 per group).The patients in the temperature protection group underwent heat-preservation including preheating room temperature,actively blanket warmer,were infused or flushed with fluids of 37 ℃ by heating apparatus;the patients in the non-temperature protection group received full-body-covered cotton quilt only.The nasopharyngeal temperature were detected at postoperative 10 minutes,intraoperative 1 hour and postoperative 1 hour,and 1.25 mL of venous blood were collected to detect the fibrin formation time,blood clot formation time,and maximum amplitude using thrombelastography.Additionally,the intraoperative blood loss and volume of drainage at postoperative 24 hours were recorded.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The nasopharyngeal temperature in the non-temperature protection group was significantly lower than that in the temperature protection group at postoperative 1 hour (P ＜ 0.05).(2) The intraoperative blood loss and volume of drainage at postoperative 24 hours in the temperature protection group were significantly less than those in the non-temperature protection group (P ＜ 0.05).(3) Compared with the temperature protection group,fibrin formation time and blood clot formation time at intraoperative and postoperative 1 hour were significantly lengthened,and maximum amplitude at postoperative 1 hour was significantly shortened in the non-temperature protection group (P ＜ 0.05).(4) These findings show that intraoperative hypothermia can weaken platelet function,inhibit coagulation factor activity,and increase the amount of blood loss and drainage.In the meanwhile,heat-preservation is able to reduce the loss of body heat,improve coagulation function and reduce blood loss for patients undergoing knee replacement.
