This paper constructs numerical models of bioprosthetic heart valve and blood. The fluid solid interaction is carried out using penalty function method. The mechanical property of the bioprosthetic heart valve during cardiac cycle is simulated with ANSYS software. Results show that the Von Mises stress concentrates at the junction of attachment edge and coaptation edge. The open time of bioprosthetic heart valve is consistent with that of actural measurement. The peak velocity of blood is in the range of physiology. This model provides more realistic mechanical property of bioprosthetic heart valve during cardiac cycle compared to pure solid model, and facilitates design and optimization of bioprosthetic heart valve.

Objeetive To discuss the correlation of creatinine reduction ratio(CRR2)from posttransplant day 1 to day 2 and early graft function recovery status after kidney transplantation. Methods Clinical data of 80 patients after renal transplantation from Jan 2005 to Mar 2007 were retrospectively analyzed.Patients were divided into three groups according to the post-operative serum creatinine level:53 patients within IGF group[cereatinine<265.2 μmol/L by post-operative day(POD)no.5],14 patients within SGF group(creatinine>265.2 μmol/L on POD no.5,but no need for dialysis),and 13 patients within DGF group(need for dialysis in the first week post-transplant).Then the value and 99%CI of CRRz of these three groups were calculated. Results The value of CRR2 of IGF,SGF and DGF was(46.8±14.6)%,(25.6±13.5)%and(0.7±17.7)%respectively.And CRR2 99%CI of IGF,SGF and DGF was 41%-52%,15%-36%and-14%-16 0A respectively.There was significant difference in the value of CRR2 among IGF,SGF and DGF group.So a criteria for early diagnosis of IGF,SGF and DGF by CRR2 99%C1 was established:IGF(CRR2≥40%),SGF (15%<CRR2<40%)and DGF(CRR2≤15%). Conclusion CRR2 has a good correlation with early graft function recovery after kidney transplantation,and can be used to predict the occurrence of SGF and DGF.

Atherosclerosis is classified as"vessel bi"in traditional Chinese medicine,and cold evil is one of its important causes.Cold,having the properties of coagulation,stagnation,and contraction,tends to narrow the diameter of blood vessels and slow down blood flow,which can promote the pathophysiological process of atherosclerosis.At present,the etiological theory of vessel bi caused by cold evil has not been fully elaborated.Based on the explanations of"evening"in"pathogenic cold affecting in the evening",such as"ying","end of year","end of day",and"time of yang decline and yin exuberance",this paper proposes the viewpoint that the cold evil tends to affect ying-blood and cause vessel bi,and discusses its pathogenesis.From the perspective of the external environment,cold evil affecting the vessel is conditional,often occurring in winter and in the middle of the night.From the perspective of internal environment,the cold evil affects the vessel in a process which can be manifested in three stages:cold injury,cold stagnation,and cold congelation.The strength of yang qi is the factor that determine whether the cold evil can cause disease.Exploring the etiology and pathogenesis of atherosclerosis from the perspective of"pathogenic cold affecting in the evening"provides a new idea for further elucidating the pathogenesis of the disease and expanding its clinical treatment.
8.Prevalence and factors associated with HIV testing uptake among sexual active college students in Zhuhai City
Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(8):1246-1250
Objective:
To understand the prevalence of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) testing and associated factors among sexual active college students in Zhuhai City.
Methods:
From November to December, 2019, an anonymous electronic questionnaire was administered among 12 235 students in six colleges and universities in Zhuhai City by multistage sampling. A total of 1 789 college students ever had sex were selected. Pearsons Chisquare test and nonconditional Logistic regression model were applied to analyze the factors associated with uptake of HIV testing.
Results:
Among these students ever had sex, 7.55% (135/1 789) had been tested for HIV mainly through hospitals (71.85%). The main reasons for testing were regular testing (50.37%) and intending to know their infection status (23.70%). Multivariable Logistic regression showed that homosexual individuals (OR=4.62, 95%CI=1.07-19.95) and those who had heterosexual commercial sex in the past year (OR=3.77, 95%CI=1.96-7.26) were more likely to test for HIV, while female (OR=0.41, 95%CI=0.24-0.69) were less likely to test for HIV.
Conclusion
The proportion of HIV testing was low among sexual active college students in Zhuhai City. Interventions should be tailored including strengthening the HIV testing propaganda education and enhancing students awareness of HIV testing, and the influencing factors such as gender, sexual orientation and commercial sexual behavior should be taken into consideration, so as to improve the HIV testing coverage of this population.

Objective:To analyze the association between visceral fat area (VFA) and fatty liver based on quantitative CT (QCT) in people receiving health examination with normal body mass index (BMI).Methods:A cross-sectional study. A total of 1 305 physical examiners who underwent chest CT and QCT examination in the Department of Health Management of Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from January to December 2021 were retrospectively selected as subjects. The physical components at the central level of the lumbar two cone were measured with QCT, including subcutaneous fat area (SFA), VFA and liver fat content (LFC). And the metabolic indexes, such as blood lipids and blood glucose, were collected. The t-test and χ2 test were used to analyze the correlation between the detection rate of fatty live and LFCr and age and gender. According to level of VFA (<100 cm 2, 100-150 cm 2 and≥150 cm 2), the subjects were divided into three groups, and one-way ANOVA and χ2 test were used in comparison between groups. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the correlation between VFA and metabolic indexes and LFC. Results:Of the 1 305 subjects, there were 634 males and 671 females. The detection rate of fatty liver in normal BMI population was 65.67%, and it was 72.71% and 59.02% respectively in men and women ( χ2=27.12, P<0.001), and the detection rate of fatty liver and LFC increased with age (both P<0.05). With the increase of VFA, the age, BMI, SFA, LFC, total cholesterol (TC), triacylglycerol (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), fasting blood glucose (FBG), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), blood uric acid and prevalence of fatty liver increased (all P<0.05), and the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) decreased ( P<0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that after adjustment for age factors, regardless of male or female, LFC was independently positively related with VFA, BMI, and ALT (male β=0.206, 0.145, 0.174, female β=0.194, 0.150, 0.184; all P<0.05). FBG was positively correlated with male independently ( β=0.134; P<0.001). The indicators related to female independently were TC, TG, and blood uric acid ( β=-0.121, 0.145, 0.141, all P<0.05) Conclusion:In the population receiving health examination with normal BMI, the VFA measured by QCT technique is closely related to fatty liver.
