Objective: To investigate the quality of life and its influencing factors among HIV-infected college students among men who have sex with men (MSM), so as to provide the evidence for improving the quality of life among HIV-infected MSM college students. Methods HIV-infected MSM college students were sampled from those with follow-up management by Shaanxi, Chongqing and Guangdong Centers for Disease Control and Prevention using a convenience sampling method, and participants' demographics, AIDS-related knowledge, attitude and practice were collected using questionnaire surveys. The scores for physical, psychological, social and environmental domains, and the overall quality of life were measured using the Chinese version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Brief (WHOQOL-BREF), and their influencing factors were identified using a multivariable linear regression model.

Objective:To investigate the current status of satisfaction with training program and loyalty to the university among professional postgraduate students majoring in clinical medicine, as well as the association between satisfaction with training program and loyalty to the university.Methods:The 2017 National Medical Student Satisfaction Survey Database was used. A total of 1 944 professional postgraduate students in the second or third year, as well as those with delayed graduation, from 59 postgraduate training colleges and universities who participated in clinical internship were selected. SPSS 20.0 software was used for analysis; descriptive analysis was used to describe satisfaction with training program and loyalty to the university; factor analysis was adopted to calculate comprehensive satisfaction score to reduce the number of variables; logistic regression analysis was applied to investigate the association of general information and satisfaction with training program with loyalty to the university.Results:The professional postgraduate students majoring in clinical medicine had a degree of 60.44% of loyalty to the university. Satisfaction with training program reflected low satisfaction at each link of the training program. For every 1-point increase in the comprehensive satisfaction scores of the four links of courses, research training, college support, and practice, the loyalty to the university was increased to 2.11, 1.83, 1.77, and 1.75 times as the original, respectively, of the baseline scores.Conclusion:There is still room for further improvement in the satisfaction with training program and the loyalty to the university among professional postgraduate students majoring in clinical medicine, and the satisfaction with training program is closely associated with the loyalty to the university. Colleges and universities need to take measures for courses, practice, research training, and college support, so as to improve satisfaction and thus enhance loyalty to the university.

Abnormal expression of annexin A2 contributes to metastasis and infiltration of cancer cells.To elucidate the cause of abnormal expression of annexin A2,Western blotting,immunoproteomics and immunohistochemical staining were performed to analyze differentially ubiquitinated proteins between fresh breast cancer tissue and its adjacent normal breast tissue from five female volunteers.We detected an ubiquitinated protein that was up-regulated in the cancer tissue,which was further identified as annexin A2 by mass spectrometry.These results suggest that abnormal ubiquitination and/or degradation of annexin A2 may lead to presence of annexin A2 at high level,which may further promote metastasis and infiltration of the breast cancer cells.

OBJECTIVETo study the identification characters of Abutilon indicum and its confused herb A. theophrasti and establish an identification method.

METHODLMVP (leaf morphological-venation pattern for identification Chinese herbs), and QAERM (quantitatively analyze and evaluate reliability for the method of identification Chinese herbs) were applied for the study.

RESULTThe main differences of the leaf of Abutilon indicum: leaf margin cilia short and not clear (75-200 microm), petiole top with long straight hairs (up to 1.0-1.2 cm), when the tertiary veins and intersecondary veins issue from the lower part of midrib, their angles of divergence usually were wide acute (65 degrees-80 degrees) and a few was about right angle (80 degrees-100 degrees). The main differences of the leaf of A. theophrasti: leaf margin cilia long and clear (200-500 microm), petiole top with short straight hairs (most 0.1-0.5 mm), when the tertiary veins and intersecondary veins issue from the lower part of midrib, their angles of divergence usually were about right angle (80 degrees-100 degrees) and a few was wide acute (65 degrees-80 degrees). With the mentioned three groups of key differences, the both plants could be successfully identified from each other. The accuracy of identification results (AC) was from 97.5% to 99.6%, the repeatability of identification results: agreement rate for observation (ARO) was 97.1% and Kappa value was 0.94.

CONCLUSIONThe established method is simple, rapid, economic and reliable.

Objective:To investigate the application and curative effect of fat grafting in supraorbital area in double blepharoplasty in patients with negative vector of the eyelid- globe.Methods:From January 2019 to January 2020, 78 patients who came to Fuzhou Meilai Huamei Beauty Hospital for double blepharoplasty were collected as patients with negative eyelid- globe vector. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups, with 42 cases in the combined group and 36 cases in the simple group. The combined group underwent double blepharoplasty combined with fat grafting in the supraorbital area, and the simple group only underwent double blepharoplasty.Results:The postoperative follow-up was 3-12 months, with an average follow-up of 6 months. The efficacy of the combined group and the simple group was compared. There was no surgical complications in both groups. In improving the eyelid-globe vector, the combined group was higher than that of the simple group. The overall satisfaction of the combined group was higher than that of the simple group. Among them, the satisfaction of eye appearance, self-confidence, mental health, surgical results, decision-making and facial rejuvenation were all higher than those of the simple group, and there was no difference in the impact on early life between the two groups.Conclusions:Double blepharoplasty undergoing fat grafting in the supraorbital area at the same time are safe and conforms to the aesthetic standard. The patients are satisfied with the postoperative effects.

BACKGROUND:Platelet-rich fibrin(PRF)has many advantages,such as simple preparation,low production cost,and high safety,and has been widely used in the study of bone defect repair in oral and maxillofacial surgery,but there are problems such as too fast degradation rate and short release time of growth factors. OBJECTIVE:PRF was loaded into gelatin methacryloyl(GelMA)hydrogel and its osteogenic properties were analyzed by in vivo and in vitro experiments. METHODS:(1)New Zealand white rabbit venous blood was extracted to prepare PRF.GelMA hydrogels containing 0,0.05,0.075,and 0.1 g PRF were prepared,respectively,and were recorded as GelMA,GelMA/PRF-0.05,GelMA/PRF-0.075,and GelMA/PRF-0.1,respectively,to characterize the micromorphology and in vitro slow-release properties of the hydrogels.(2)Four kinds of hydrogels were co-cultured with MC3T3-E1 cells,respectively,and the cell proliferation activity was detected with the single cultured cells as the control.After osteogenic induction,alkaline phosphatase activity,mineralization ability,mRNA and protein expression levels of osteogenic genes(osteocalcin,osteopontin,RUNX2),ERK1/2-p38 MAPK pathway protein mRNA and protein expression levels were detected.(3)Fifteen New Zealand white rabbits were taken.Four full-layer bone defects of 8 mm diameter were prepared in the skull of each rabbit,one of which was implanted without any material(blank control group),and the other three were implanted with GelMA hydrogel,PRF,and GelMA/PRF-0.1 hydrogel,respectively.The bone defect was detected by Micro-CT and bone morphology was observed at 4,8,and 12 weeks after operation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Scanning electron microscopy observed that all the hydrogels of the four groups had honeycomb pore structure,and the pore size of the hydrogels decreased slightly with the increase of PRF content,but there was no significant difference between the groups.The three groups of GelMA/PRF hydrogel could release transforming growth factor β1 and insulin-like growth factor 1 at a certain rate,and the cumulative release of transforming growth factor β1 and insulin-like growth factor 1 increased significantly with the extension of time.(2)CCK-8 assay and live/dead staining showed that GelMA/PRF hydrogel could promote the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells.The results of alkaline phosphatase staining,alizarin red staining,and osteogenic gene detection showed that GelMA/PRF hydrogel could promote the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells,and inhibit the expression of ERK1/2-p38 MAPK pathway protein,and showed a PRF content dependence.(3)Micro-CT scan showed that the bone mineral density and bone volume fraction in the bone defect of GelMA/PRF-0.1 hydrogel group were higher than those in the other three groups(P<0.05).Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that compared with the other three groups,GelMA/PRF-0.1 hydrogel group had faster and more mature new bone formation at the bone defect.(4)These findings indicate that GelMA/PRF hydrogel has good osteogenic activity both in vivo and in vitro,which may be related to inhibiting the expression of ERK1/2-p38 MAPK pathway protein.

Objectives? To describe the human resource allocation of ophthalmic nurses in China, and to compare the differences based on the ophthalmic nurse availability among different regions so as to put forward policy recommendations. Methods? We used the latest data of China Ophthalmic Competency Resource Survey in 2015 and China Population and Employment Statistics Yearbook to describe the quantity, education backgrounds and professional titles of ophthalmology nurses in different regions of China. Population-weighted quartiles of the county-level number were defined and used to analyze the differences in education backgrounds and professional titles among different regions and different levels of availability. Results? By the end of 2014, the number of ophthalmic nurses was 3.19 per 100 000. The eastern part had 30% more nurses than the western and the urban area had 285% more than the rural area. The ratio of ophthalmology doctors to ophthalmic nurses is 1∶1.13 while the eastern area had the lowest ratio. Most of the ophthalmic nurses held post-secondary diploma and only entry-level titles. The availability of ophthalmic nurses in the east China was better than any other parts. It was easier to get an ophthalmic nurse in the cities than in rural areas. And the condition got worst in western rural districts. The proportion of nurses with a bachelor's degree went higher with the increase in availability, while this trend reverted with regard to the proportion of senior titled nurses. With the same availability, the quality of human resources in western and rural areas is the worst. Conclusions? The resource allocation of ophthalmic nurses in China has gradually improved, but there are still problems such as regional inequality and large urban-rural gap. The availability analysis can show the inter-regional difference in terms of the quantity of ophthalmic nurses in a more detailed manner, such that the situations in the urban and rural areas are in extremely differentiated states; The quality of ophthalmic nurses in China needs to be further improved, and the quality difference will further aggravate the imbalance of resource allocation.

Objective    To compare clinical effects of extended thymectomy for the treatment of thymic abnormalities with myasthenia gravis (MG) between subxiphoid and subcostal arch thoracoscopic resection (SR) and the unilateral thoracoscopic resection (UR) by a propensity-score matching analysis. Methods    We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 612 patients who presented with MG and were admitted to Tangdu Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University between December 2011 and December 2018. Of these patients, 520 patients underwent subxiphoid and subcostal arch thoracoscopic extended thymectomy (a SR group) and 92 unilateral thoracoscopic extended thymectomy (a UR group). Ninety-two patients in the SR group were matched with the UR group by propensity-score matching analysis. There were 52 males and 40 females with an average age of 26-70 (50.2±10.3) years in the SR group, and 47 males and 45 females with an average age of 20-73 (51.5±12.1) years in the UR group. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, thoracic drainage time, postoperative hospital stay, thorough adipose tissue removal, postoperative remission of MG, patients’ satisfaction score, pain and complications were compared and analyzed between the two groups. Results    All operations were accomplished successfully, without conversion to thoracotomy of the two groups. There were statistical differences between the two groups in operation time (46.2±19.5 min vs. 53.4±23.5 min), chest drainage duration (0 d vs. 3.4±1.2 d), hospital stay (2.9±1.9 d vs. 3.6±1.7 d), patients’ satisfaction score (7.9±2.1 points vs. 6.7±1.2 points) and pain scores (all P<0.05). There were no statistical differences between the two groups in intraoperative blood loss (52.2±12.7 mL vs. 51.2±10.3 mL), peripheral adipose tissue removal (8.1±0.6 vs. 7.9±0.9), remission rate of MG (89.1% vs. 85.9%) and rate of postoperative complications (10.9% vs. 6.5%) (all P>0.05). Conclusion    Subxiphoid and subcostal arch thoracoscopic extended thymectomy is a safe and feasible minimally invasive procedure for the management of MG with thymic abnormalities.
