Objective:To compare the difference of HIV infection risk among student Men who have sex with men (sMSM) attending secondary vocational colleges or high school, sMSM attending universities or above, and non-student men who have sex with men (MSM).Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted between July and October, 2019. Inclusion criteria of participants include: 15-24 years old, male at birth, had homosexual oral or anal intercourse before survey, self-reported HIV negative or unclear. Demographic information, HIV testing history and social media usage were collected by a self-reporting questionnaire, the HIV risk assessment tool was used for HIV infection risk assessment. We used Logistic regression to analyze the difference of HIV infection risk among student sMSM attending secondary vocational colleges or high school, sMSM attending universities or above, and non-student MSM.Results:Of the 1 707 participants, 45% (771 projects) reported homosexual debut before the age of 19, the proportion of HIV self-testing was 49% (833 projects), and 34% (587 projects) received facility-based testing. Comparing with sMSM attending universities or above, non-student MSM and sMSM attending secondary vocational colleges or high school had higher probability of medium and high HIV infection risk [ OR(95% CI): 1.53(1.10-2.12), 1.80(1.06-3.07), respectively], while the probability of medium and high HIV infection risk between sMSM attending secondary vocational colleges and non-student MSM was not statistically different. Conclusion:Non-student MSM and sMSM attending secondary vocational college or high school have higher risk of HIV infection, health staff should allocate more education resources to Non-student MSM and sMSM attending secondary vocational college or high school, in order to alleviate HIV threat to them.

3.Comparation of Clinical Efficacy between Two Regimens of Preexcitation Chemotherapy for MDS-RAEB Patients.
Journal of Experimental Hematology 2019;27(2):515-519
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the efficacy and safely of DAC and CAG/HAG preexcitation chemotherapy regimens for the treatment of patients with MDS-RAEB (refractory anemia with excess blasts, RAEB).
METHODS:
The clinical data of 86 MDS-RAEB patients were analyzed retrospectively from February 2014 to February 2018. According to therapeutic regimem, the 86 patients were divided into 2 groups: group A (41 patients) with DAC preexcitation chemotherapy regimen, and group B (45 patients) with CAG/HAG preexcitation chemotherapy regimen; and the disease control effect, effective treatment course, median survival time and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between these 2 groups.
RESULTS:
The CR rate and ORR rate were not significantly different between these 2 groups (P>0.05). The mCR rate in group A was significantly higher than that in group B (P<0.05). The numbers of cases obtained therapeutic efficacy at 2 rd and 3 rd conrse in group A significantly more than those in group B (P<0.05), but the number of cases obtained efficacy at 1 st course in group B was significantly higher than that in group A (P<0.05). The median OS time was not significanly different between 2 groups (P>0.05). The duration of neutrophils deficiency in group A was significantly shorter than that in group B (P<0.05). The transfusion volume of red blood cells and platelets in group A was significantly less than that of group B (P<0.05). The incidence of neutropenia, anemia and thrombocytopenia of III-IV grade at different treatment courses of group A were significantly lower than that in group B (P<0.05). The incidence of infection of III-IV grade in group A at 3rd treatment course was significantly lower than that in group B (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
Preexcitation chemotherapy regimens of DAC and CAG/HAG for the treatment of MDS-RAEB possess the same effects for disease control; application of DAC regimen can efficiently reduce the risk of adverse reaction, but CAG/HAG regimen can be helpful to accelerate the effective process of treatment.

4.Efficacy of Small Dose HAG Regimen Combined with Decitabine in Treatment of Elderly Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
Journal of Experimental Hematology 2020;28(3):828-832
OBJECTIVE:
To study the efficacy of small dose HAG combined with decitabine regimen in the treatment of elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
METHODS:
134 elderly AML patients treated in our hospital from March 2015 to December 2018 were selected, and the patients were divided into CAG group and combined treatment group. The AML patients in CAG group was treated with CAG regimen, while the AML patients in combined treatment group was treated with small dose HAG regimen combined with decitabine. Efficacy was evaluated after treatment.
RESULTS:
After treatment, the OR rate of the patients in combined treatment group was significantly higher than that in CAG group (χ=5.311, P=0.021). The nausea and vomiting rate, infection rate, myelosuppression rate, bleeding rate and intestinal discomfort rate showed no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). The CD3, CD4 and CD8 levels of patients in combined treatment group were significantly lower than those in CAG group (P<0.05). The result of followed-up for 2 years, showed that the overall survival rate of patients in combined treatment group was significantly higher than that in CAG group [(76.2±6.3)% vs (45.7±7.6)%] (χ=4.214, P<0.05), while the disease free survival rate of patients in combined treatment group were (57.4±7.7)%, which was significantly higher than that in CAG group (30.3±7.9)% (χ=5.250, P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
Small dose HAG regimen combined with decitabine for elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia has a certain curative efficacy.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the short-term therapeutic efficacy, survival time and side effects in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients treated with TCD regimen consisted of thalidomide, cyclophosphiamide and dexamethasone, and BCD reginen consisted of bortezomib, cyclophsphamide and dexamethasone.
METHODS:
The clinical data of newly diagnosed MM patients admitted in our hospital from January 2011 to January 2018 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. According to chemotherapectic regimen, 106 patients were divided into 2 groups: 53 cases in one group were treated with TCD regimen (TCD group), and 53 cases in another group were treaded with BCD regimen (BCD group). The therapeutic efficacy, median PFS and OS time and incidence of side effects in 2 groups were compared, at the same time the relationship of the remission degree and the factors in different subgroups with the therapeutic efficacy was analyzed in 2 groups.
RESULTS:
There was no significant difference in the ≥MR rate between 2 groups (P>0.05). The ≥PR rate, ≥VGPR rate and CR rate of BCD group were significantly higher than TCD group (P<0.05). The median PFS time of patients in BCD group were significantly longer than that in TCD group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the median OS time of patients between 2 groups (P<0.05). The median OS time of ≥MR patients in TCD group was significantly longer than that of <MR patients (P<0.05). The median OS time of ≥PR patients in TCD group were significantly longer than that of <PR patients (P<0.05). The median OS time of ≥VGPR patients in BCD group was significantly longer than that of <VGPR patients (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the median OS time of ≥PR and <PR patients in BCD group (P>0.05). The ORR of ≥VGPR patients in BCD group was significantly higher than that in TCD group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of infection, fatigue, gastrointestinal reactions and bone marrow suppression between 2 groups (P<0.05). The incidence of numbness in distal extremities and herpes zoster in BCD group was significantly higher than that in TCD group (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
TCD and BCD in the treatment of patients with NDMM possess the same disease control effects; BCD regimen application can efficiently improve remission degree and prolong PFS time; but TCD regimen application have the advantages in reducing the side effects risk and improving treatment tolerance.
