Objective:To understand the monkeypox knowledge awareness, risk perception and vaccination intention in men who have sex with men (MSM) in five cities in northeast China.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted by using electronic questionnaire in MSM selected by convenience sampling in five cities in northeast China (Shenyang, Panjin, Changchun, Harbin and Jiamusi) from June 28 to July 8, 2023 by local centers for disease control and prevention and MSM communities. The sample size was estimated to be 220. Information about their demographics, monkeypox-related knowledge awareness, perceived concern about epidemic risk perception, and monkeypox vaccination intention were collected. Logistic regression model was used to analyze related factors for MSM's monkeypox vaccination intention.Results:In 355 MSM, 63.9% (227/355) had monkeypox vaccination intentions, and 55.5% (197/355) had high awareness of monkeypox related knowledge with a mean knowledge awareness score of 3.7±1.5. MSM with education level of high-school and above (a OR=1.93, 95% CI:1.01-3.69), higher knowledge awareness score (a OR=1.19, 95% CI:1.02-1.40) and higher risk perception of monkeypox infection (a OR=1.82, 95% CI:1.15-2.88), were more willing to receive monkeypox vaccination. The main reasons for willingness to receive monkeypox vaccine were preventing monkeypox (86.3%, 196/227) and worrying about appearance being affected (62.1%, 141/227). The main reasons for unwillingness for the vaccination included concerns about vaccine safety (53.1%, 68/128), clinical progression of AIDS being affected (46.1%, 59/128) and efficacy of antiretroviral therapy being affected (44.5%, 57/128). Conclusions:The levels of knowledge awareness and vaccine intentions still need to be improved among MSM in five cities of northeast China. It is necessary to improve the awareness of monkeypox and intention of monkeypox vaccination, promote protected sex behavior and self-assessment of infection risk, reduce vaccine hesitancy and increase monkeypox vaccination intention in MSM in 5 cities in northeast China.

Cholestatic liver disease is a common disease that causes bile flow dysfunction due to various reasons. The etiology of cholestatic liver disease is complexed, and therapeutic drugs are extremely limited. To date, ursodeoxycholic acid is the only FDA-approved drug for treating primary biliary cirrhosis, whereas its efficacy is limited to early stage of the disease, therefore novel drugs are urgently needed. Nuclear receptors become therapeutic hotspot target in cholestasis since these receptors play a key role in regulating bile acid homeostasis. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) is an important nuclear receptor involved in regulating multiple mechanisms of cholestasis in vivo. It can improve intrahepatic cholestasis by inhibiting bile acid synthesis, reducing bile acid toxicity, affecting the expression of bile acid metabolic enzymes and transporters, and can play an anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation and anti-fibrosis role. A number of studies have shown that PPAR agonists represented by fibrates alone or in combination can improve liver function indexes, inflammatory factors and fibrosis markers in patients with cholestasis. This review analyzes and summarizes the lastest advances in the molecular mechanism of PPAR as a therapeutic target for cholestasis and drug treatment in development or have been used in clinical.

OBJECTIVE To monitor the occurrence of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate （TDF）-induced kidney injury and investigate the risk factors， and provide reference for rational use of TDF in clinic. METHODS The information of inpatients with hepatitis B was collected by China Hospital Pharmacovigilance System （CHPS） from the Second People’s Hospital of Lanzhou during Jan. 1st， 2019 to Dec. 31st 2021. The search criteria were set according to kidney injury criteria， and suspected TDF- induced kidney injury cases were actively monitored； then the clinical pharmacist confirmed the positive patients with TDF-induced kidney injury one by one and calculated the incidence of TDF-induced renal injury； the risk factors for TDF-induced kidney injury in real world were explored by collecting and analyzing the correlation of basic data of patients， main indexes of liver and kidney function， complications and combined use of drugs with TDF-induced renal indexes. RESULTS Totally 1 226 inpatients with hepatitis B using TDF were included. Through active monitoring of CHPS， 160 suspected patients with TDF-induced kidney injury were found， and 64 positive patients were finally confirmed manually. The incidence of TDF-induced kidney injury was 5.22%. Compared with pre-medication， the levels of serum creatinine and cystatin C， the proportion of patients with urinary protein 2+ and above were increased significantly after medication （P＜0.001）， glomerular filtration rate and blood phosphorus level were reduced significantly （P＜0.001） and other indicators had no statistical difference. Treatment time for more than 36 months， disease progresses to decompensated cirrhosis， and concomitant use of more than 10 kinds of drugs were significantly correlated with TDF- related kidney injury （P＜0.05 or P＜0.012 5）. CONCLUSIONS The active monitoring scheme of TDF-induced kidney injury established by CHPS has the characteristics of time-saving， labor-saving and high efficiency； based on real-world evidence， it is imperative to strengthen monitoring kidney function of patients when using TDF， especially when the patient has been on medication for a long time， in decompensated cirrhosis and combination of multiple drugs， and thus， we can identify earlier and avoid adverse effects in high-risk patientseffectively.
