Chinese Journal of Forensic Medicine 2017;32(5):512-513,517
Objective To evaluate the effects of Miseq FGx sequencing system for degraded bone sample testing. Methods Ten degraded bone samples that produced unsatisfactory STR typing with PCR-CE were tested using Miseq FGx, so as to compare the detection result and detection rate of the STR loci between the two systems. Results The detection rates of all the STR loci were higher with MiSeq FGx than with PCR-CE; some of the STR loci that might have not been detectable with PCR-CE were probably detectable with Miseq FGx. Sequencing with Miseq FGx also provided abundant information on the genetic markers including X-STR, Y-STR and SNP. Conclusion MiSeq FGx presents high application value for degraded bone sample testing.

Objective:To develop a grading prediction model of traumatic hemorrhage volume based on deep learning and assist in predicting traumatic hemorrhage volume.Methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted based on the experimental data of pig gunshot wounds in the time-effect assessment database for experiments on war-traumatized animals constructed by the General Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. The hemorrhage volume data of the study population were extracted, and the animals were divided into 0-300 mL, 301-600 mL, and > 600 mL groups according to the hemorrhage volume. Using vital signs indexes as the predictive variables and hemorrhage volume grading as the outcome variable, trauma hemorrhage volume grading prediction models were developed based on four traditional machine learning and ten deep learning methods. Using laboratory test indexes as predictive variables and hemorrhage volume grading as outcome variables, trauma hemorrhage volume grading prediction models were developed based on the above fourteen methods. The effect of the two groups of models was evaluated by accuracy and area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC), and the optimal models in the two groups were mixed to obtain hybrid model 1. Feature selection was conducted according to the genetic algorithm, and hybrid model 2 was constructed according to the best feature combination. Finally, hybrid model 2 was deployed in the animal experiment database system.Results:Ninety-six traumatic animals in the database were enrolled, including 27 pigs in the 0-300 mL group, 40 in the 301-600 mL group, and 29 in the > 600 mL group. Among the fourteen models based on vital signs indexes, fully convolutional network (FCN) model was the best [accuracy: 60.0%, AUC and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.699 (0.671-0.727)]. Among the fourteen models based on laboratory test indexes, recurrent neural network (RNN) model was the best [accuracy: 68.9%, AUC (95% CI) was 0.845 (0.829-0.860)]. After mixing the FCN and RNN models, the hybrid model 1, namely RNN-FCN model was obtained, and the performance of the model was improved [accuracy: 74.2%, AUC (95% CI) was 0.847 (0.833-0.862)]. Feature selection was carried out by genetic algorithm, and the hybrid model 2, namely RNN-FCN* model, was constructed according to the selected feature combination, which further improved the model performance [accuracy: 80.5%, AUC (95% CI) was 0.880 (0.868-0.893)]. The hybrid model 2 contained ten indexes, including mean arterial pressure (MAP), hematocrit (HCT), platelet count (PLT), lactic acid, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2), Total CO 2, blood sodium, anion gap (AG), fibrinogen (FIB), international normalized ratio (INR). Finally, the RNN-FCN* model was deployed in the database system, which realized automatic, continuous, efficient, intelligent, and grading prediction of hemorrhage volume in traumatic animals. Conclusion:Based on deep learning, a grading prediction model of traumatic hemorrhage volume was developed and deployed in the information system to realize the intelligent grading prediction of traumatic animal hemorrhage volume.

OBJECTIVETo study the effects of emodin on proliferation and differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocyte and the possible mechanism.
METHODSCell proliferation was determined by MTT spectrophotometry, cell differentiation was determined by Oil Red O staining,and fatty acid synthase (FAS) activity was determined by spectrophotometry.
RESULTSEmodin promoted proliferation of 3T3-L1 preadipocyte at low concentration and inhibited the proliferation at high concentration in a dose-related manner. In contrast, it inhibited cell differentiation into adipocyte at low concentration in a dose-related manner. In vitro emodin inhibited the activity of FAS in a dose-related manner.
CONCLUSIONSThe effects of emodin on 3T3-L1 cell's proliferation and differentiation are dose dependent. Emodin inhibits the activity of FAS. Our results suggest that emodin should have a potential to serve as a fat-reducing drug.

Objective:To understand the willingness of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use to prevent HIV infection and related factors in men who have sex with men (MSM) in Yunnan Province.Methods:Cross-sectional study method and snowball sampling method was used to carry out the survey in 14 cities (autonomous prefectures) in Yunnan from April to June 2021. According to national sentinel surveillance program, the sample size was 400 at national sentinel sites and 100 at provincial sentinel sites. The related factors of PrEP use willingness were analyzed by multiple logistic regressions with software SPSS 22.0.Results:A total of 2 450 questionnaires were completed, the rate of having heard of PrEP was 68.5% (1 677/2 449), the willingness rate of PrEP use was 56.7% (1 343/2 368), the willing rate of PrEP use at their own expense was 30.6% (724/2 368), and the willingness rate of free PrEP use was 56.2% (1 330/2 367). The of multivariate logistic analysis results showed that related factors of low willingness to use PrEP included aged 40-49 years and 50 years or above (a OR=2.49 and a OR=4.48), Han ethnic group (a OR=1.47), residence in other provinces (a OR=1.64), education level of senior high school (a OR=1.96) and college or above (a OR=3.49), sample source of bath house (a OR=3.53), online recruiting (a OR=2.53) and voluntary counseling and testing (a OR=1.42), local living time for 3-6 months and 7-12 months (a OR=0.18 and a OR=0.25) ,class 2 and 3 of survey areas (a OR=3.63 and a OR=1.71), having no anal sex with men in the past week (a OR=2.60), having no commercial homosexual behavior in the past six months (a OR=13.32) and self-perceived higer risk for HIV infection (a OR=0.50). Conclusions:There was more than half of MSM with willingness to use PrEP. The health education to promote PrEP use should be strengthen in MSM who had low willingness to use PrEP from underdeveloped areas, in Han ethnic group, with older age, from other provinces, with shorter local living time and self-perceived low risk for HIV infection.
