Objective: To investigate the characteristics and potential risk factors associated with HIV infection among newly reported HIV positive male student cases in Jiangsu Province from 2023 to 2024, so as to provide evidence for targeted intervention strategies. Methods: Data were obtained from the China CDC Surveillance System on newly reported HIV positive male student cases from 2023 to 2024. A survey was conducted to collect information on demographic characteristics, knowledge of AIDS prevention, education and training history, HIV testing history, behavioral and substance use patterns, and other relevant factors prior to HIV diagnosis among 343 newly reported HIV positive male student cases in Jiangsu Province. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the risk factors of HIV infection among male students. Results: Among the HIV positive male student cases, homosexual behavior accounted for 93.88% of transmission routes, while 10.20% involved heterosexual contact, as well as 4.08% for two sexual hehaviors. Awareness of HIV prevention knowledge was 97.08%, and 66.76% had previously undergone HIV testing. Among the respondents, 10.50% had used rush poppers as enhancers, and 72.30% had received HIV prevention education within the past year. Among students cases with homosexual behavior, the median time from first homosexual contact to HIV diagnosis was ≤2 years, with 54.66% of cases falling into this category; the most common way of finding same sex partners was through social software, accounting for 88.20% of cases, while the proportion of those via "Blued" app reached 87.07% ; the proportion of using condoms every time during sexual activity in the past six months was 12.27%. Among the student cases with homosexual behavior, the results of multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that student cases aged 18 to 24 ( OR =4.52) and >24 ( OR = 19.23 ), without receiving education on HIV prevention in the past year ( OR =1.86), having consistent condom use ( OR =2.73) and not using condoms ( OR =2.12) during the last sexual activity were more likely to had the first same sex sexual activity for more than 3 years before being diagnosed as HIV positive cases (all P <0.05). Student cases who were uncertain about their partner s sexual identity ( OR =0.33), and who primarily identified same sex partners through "other" means ( OR = 0.23 ) were more likely to avoid HIV testing; in contrast, student cases with consistent condom use during the last homosexual encounter ( OR =7.20) was significantly associated with increased likelihood of HIV testing (all P <0.05). Conclusions Newly reported HIV positive male student cases in Jiangsu Province exhibit serious discrepancies between knowledge and practice regarding HIV prevention. Measures are needed to accelerate the optimization of campus based HIV prevention education content and delivery methods. Simultaneously, enhanced management of extracurricular male populations is essential to effectively control the spread of HIV.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism by which Yizhi Qingxin prescription improves mitochondrial dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease （AD） through regulating mitochondrial Ca²⁺ homeostasis and kinetic balance based on the protein kinase A （PKA）/calcineurin （CaN） signaling pathway. MethodsSixty three-month-old amyloid precursor protein （APP）/presenilin 1 （PS1） double transgenic mice were randomly divided into a model group， a donepezil group（0.65 mg·kg^-1）， a low-dose Yizhi Qingxin prescription group （YQF-L，2.6 g·kg^-1）， a medium-dose Yizhi Qingxin prescription group （YQF-M，5.2 g·kg^-1）， and a high-dose Yizhi Qingxin prescription group （YQF-H，10.4 g·kg^-1）， with 12 mice in each group. Twelve C57BL/6J mice with the same genetic background served as a normal group. Each treatment group received gavage administration daily， with the model and normal groups receiving equal volume of physiological saline. Intervention continued for 12 consecutive weeks. The learning and memory abilities of the mice were assessed using the novel object recognition （NOR） and Morris water maze （MWM） tests. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE）/Nissl staining was used to observe histopathological changes in the hippocampus. Transmission electron microscopy （TEM） was used to observe mitochondrial ultrastructure. Fluo-4 acetoxymethyl ester （Fluo-4 AM） Ca²⁺ probe was used to measure intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration in brain tissue. Western blot was used to determine the protein expression of PKA， CaN， sodium/calcium/lithium exchanger （NCLX）， mitochondrial calcium uniporter （MCU）， calmodulin （CaM）， dynamin-related protein 1 （Drp1）， and phosphorylated dynamin-related protein 1 （serine 637 site） ［p-Drp1（S637）］ in the hippocampus. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to measure the expression of PKA， CaN， CaM， NCLX， MCU， and Drp1 mRNAs. ResultsCompared with those in the normal group， the recognition index （RI） of the model group decreased （P0.01）， and the number of crossings through the original platform area， the duration of stay in the target quadrant， and the distance were reduced （P0.01）. The protein expression of PKA， NCLX， and p-DRP1 （ser637） significantly decreased （P0.05）， and the mRNA expression of PKA and NCLX significantly decreased （P0.05）. The escape latency （EL） was prolonged （P0.05）， and the intracellular Ca²⁺ level significantly increased （P0.01）. The protein expression of CaN， CaM， MCU， and Drp1， as well as the mRNA expression of CaN， MCU， and Drp1， significantly increased （P0.05）. After intervention with Donepezil and Yizhi Qingxin prescription， compared with that in the model group， the RI of the treatment group significantly increased （P0.05）， and the number of crossings through the platform and the duration of stay in the target quadrant significantly increased （P0.05）. The protein expression of PKA， NCLX， and p-Drp1 （ser637） and the mRNA expression of PKA and NCLX significantly increased （P0.05）. On the 4th and 5th days， the EL was shortened （P0.05）， and the intracellular Ca²⁺ level decreased （P0.05）. The protein expression of CaN， CaM， MCU， and Drp1 and the mRNA expression of CaN， MCU， and Drp1 significantly decreased （P0.05）. ConclusionYizhi Qingxin prescription regulates the PKA/CaN pathway， upregulates the expression of PKA， NCLX， and p-Drp1 （ser637） proteins， reduces the expression of CaN， CaM， MCU， and Drp1 proteins， and regulates Ca²⁺ homeostasis and mitochondrial dynamic balance， thereby enhancing the spatial learning and memory abilities of AD mice.

Objective: To investigate the status of heat illness, knowledge awareness and adaptive behaviors of heat wave knowledge among food delivery riders, so as to provide a basis for optimizing heat wave response measures for food delivery riders. Methods: In November 2022, food delivery riders from a large food delivery platform in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province were selected as survey subjects using a cluster sampling method. A self-designed electronic questionnaire was used to select demographic information, work status, lifestyle behaviors and disease history, heat illness status, knowledge awareness and adaptive behaviors of heatwave. Results: A total of 911 questionnaires were distributed, and 830 valid questionnaires were recovered, resulting in a valid response rate of 91.11%. Among the respondents, 796 (95.90%) were male, and 818 (98.55%) worked full-time. The mean age was (27.75±8.00) years. A total of 470 respondents (56.63%) had a work tenure of less than 1 year. The primary working hours were 8-<12 hours, with 504 people accounting for 60.72%. There were 108 cases of heatstroke, with an occurrence rate of 13.01%. And 286 people reported heat-related symptoms, with an occurrence rate of 34.46%. The overall awareness rate of heat wave knowledge was 73.22%, while the awareness rate of heat warning signal classification was relatively low at 9.04%. The heat wave cognition score was (5.86±1.31) points. There were statistically significant differences in heat wave cognition scores among food delivery riders of different ages, educational levels, family annual income, work tenures, and work durations (all P<0.05). Regarding positive adaptive behaviors, the number of riders paying attention to weather forecasts and actively learning about preventive measures was higher (734 people each, accounting for 88.43%). Regarding negative adaptive behaviors, the number of riders who often drank ice-cold beverages was higher (509 people, accounting for 61.33%). The heat wave adaptive behavior score was (6.88±1.77) points. There were statistically significant differences in adaptive behavior scores among riders with different educational levels, family annual income, work tenures, and smoking frequency (all P<0.05). Conclusions The occurrence rates of heatstroke and heat-related symptoms among food delivery riders are relatively high. The knowledge awareness and adaptive behaviors regarding heat wave are at a moderate level. It is suggested to strengthen health education, reinforce risk cognition of heat wave, and promote positive adaptive behaviors among food delivery riders.

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and diagnostic-therapeutic strategies of oncocytic mucoepidermoid carcinoma (OMEC) of the parotid gland, and to enhance awareness of this rare variant among clinicians and pathologists. Methods: The clinical data, imaging findings, histopathological features, immunophenotype, and molecular characteristics of two patients with parotid OMEC were retrospectively analyzed, and the relevant literature was reviewed. Results: Case 1 was a 50-year-old man who presented with a painless mass behind the right earlobe for more than 2 years. The patient underwent extended parotidectomy with preservation of the facial nerve. Histopathological examination revealed that the tumor was predominantly composed of oncocytic cells with a small proportion of mucous cells. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were partially positive for cytokeratin 5/6, cytokeratin 7, and P63. Special staining with alcian blue, periodic acid-Schiff, and phosphotungstic acid hematoxylin yielded positive results. The diagnosis of right parotid OMEC was established. No recurrence or metastasis was observed during a 1 year follow-up. Case 2 was a 61-year-old man with a 3-month history of a mass beneath the left ear. After partial parotidectomy at an outside institution, pathological consultation at the Stomatological Hospital of Jilin University demonstrated that the tumor consisted almost entirely of oncocytic cells, exhibited infiltrative growth, and lacked typical mucous, epidermoid, and intermediate cells. Fluorescence in situ hybridization confirmed positive mastermind-like transcriptional activator 2 (MAML2) gene rearrangement, establishing the diagnosis of left parotid OMEC. The patient subsequently underwent total parotidectomy with preservation of the facial nerve, and no recurrence was detected during a short-term 3 months follow-up. A review of the literature indicated that OMEC most commonly arises in the parotid gland and is generally a low-grade malignancy with favorable prognosis. When tumors are composed exclusively of oncocytic cells, exhibit minimal cytological atypia, and lack the classical cellular components of mucoepidermoid carcinoma, they are highly prone to misdiagnosis as oncocytoma, nodular oncocytic hyperplasia, or other benign oncocytic lesions. Accurate differential diagnosis relies on recognition of infiltrative growth patterns, supportive immunophenotypic markers (e.g., P63 positivity), and detection of characteristic MAML2 gene rearrangement. Complete surgical excision remains the treatment of choice. Conclusion OMEC dominated by oncocytic cells carries a high risk of clinical misdiagnosis. Integrating the assessment Conclusion OMEC dominated by oncocytic cells carries a high risk of clinical misdiagnosis. Integrating the assessment of infiltrative histopathological features with immunohistochemistry and molecular detection of MAML2 rearrangement is crucial for accurate diagnosis, appropriate assessment of tumor behavior, and optimal surgical decision making.

This paper systematically elaborates on the key points of diagnosis and differential diagnosis of salivary gland tumors characterized by a substantial amount of extracellular mucus as a main or prominent feature, and clarifies the core differential features. The term "mucus-rich" specifically denotes that mucus is a major component of the tumor, rather than a focal or minor one. This phenomenon is associated with distinct histogenetic mechanisms: it may result from specific genetic mutations (e.g., AKT1 E17K in mucinous adenocarcinoma) that drive ductal epithelial differentiation into mucus-secreting cells, or from myoepithelial cells secreting glycosaminoglycans that form a myxoid stroma. Salivary gland tumors with abundant extracellular mucus include mucinous cystadenoma, sialadenoma papilliferum-like intraductal papillary tumors, mucinous myoepithelioma, pleomorphic adenoma with mucin-rich stroma, mucinous adenocarcinoma, low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma, mucin-rich salivary duct carcinoma and intestinal-type adenocarcinoma. The diagnosis of these tumors is complicated by the dual nature of extracellular mucus: while it is a defining feature of some entities, it can also obscure key diagnostic architectural features in others, leading to histological overlap and inconspicuous diagnostic areas. Given the frequent histological morphological overlap among these tumors, immunohistochemical findings and molecular characteristics have emerged as crucial differential diagnostic criteria. Core differential diagnostic points include the following: histologically, there must be meticulous identification of typical structures obscured by mucin (such as squamoid cells in mucoepidermoid carcinoma and apocrine features in salivary duct carcinoma); in immunohistochemical staining, CK20 is useful for distinguishing intestinal-type adenocarcinoma (positive) from mucinous adenocarcinoma (negative), while androgen receptor aids in differentiating salivary duct carcinoma (positive) from mucoepidermoid carcinoma (negative); and molecular testing plays a critical role in definitive diagnosis (e.g., the AKT1 E17K mutation for mucinous adenocarcinoma, MAML2 rearrangement for mucoepidermoid carcinoma, and MEF2C::SS18 fusion for microsecretory adenocarcinoma). This paper systematically summarizes the core pathological features and differential diagnostic points of mucin-rich salivary gland tumors, aiming to provide a practical reference for clinical pathological diagnosis.

Objective To observe the alterations of protein expression of nicotinamide adenine di-nucleotide phosphatase oxidase 4-silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1(NOX4-SIRT1)signaling pathway in ApoE-/-mice and C57BL/6J mice induced by high-fat diet.Methods Twenty ApoE-/-mice and 40 C57BL/6J mice,aged of 10 weeks and half male and half female,were randomly divided into a NC group and a HFD group,with 10 mice in each group(ApoE-/-+NC and ApoE-/-+HFD groups,and C57+NC and C57+HFD groups).After 1 week of adaptive feed-ing period,each group was fed with their corresponding diet for subsequent 12 weeks,and then blood samples were collected from the anesthetized orbits and aortic arch tissues were harvested.HE staining and Masson staining were performed to examine the pathological morphology of the aortic arch tissues.The serum levels of TG,TC,HDL-C and LDL-C were measured using an auto-matic biochemical analyzer.The content of ox-LDLC was detected with ELISA,and the contents of ROS,GSH,GPX and NAD+were measured by colorimetry.The expression of SIRT1,p53,p21 and NOX4 was detected by Western blotting.Results Compared with the C57+NC group,the ApoE-/-+NC group showed significant lipid deposition,increased collagen fibers,elevated levels of TC,TG,HDLC,LDL-C,ox-LDL-C and ROS and increased p21 expression level,and obviously decreased contents of GSH,GPX and NAD+(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Compared with the ApoE-/-+NC group,the ApoE-/-+HFD group showed larger plaque areas,lessened elastic fibers,more col-lagen fibers,increased levels of TC,HDL-C,LDL-C,ox-LDL-C and ROS,and p21 expression level(P＜0.01),and declined expression of GSH,GPX,NAD+and NOX4[6.4±0.8 μmol/L vs 9.6±0.8 μmol/L,242.0±39.0 U/ml vs 362.7±11.1 U/ml,0.61±0.15 nmol/L vs 1.07±0.20 nmol/L,0.26±0.01 vs 0.32±0.03;P＜0.05,P＜0.01[.Conclusion High-fat diet may accelerate vascular aging by elevating lipid and oxidative stress levels,decreasing NAD+and NOX4 expression,ele-vating p21 expression,and thereby activating the NOX4-SIRT1 pathway.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the microbiological characteristics and antimicrobial resistance of Nocardia isolates in Hebei Province during the 9-year period.Methods The medical records of all hospitalized patients from whom Nocardia was isolated from 2015 to 2023 were analyzed retrospectively.The isolates were identified to the species level by amplification and sequencing of 16S rRNA,secA1 and ropB genes of Nocardia.Antimicrobial susceptibility of Nocardia isolates were tested by microbroth dilution method.Results Of the 162 strains of Nocardia,128(79.0％)were isolated from respiratory tract specimens,followed by skin and soft tissue infection(25/162,15.4％).Most of the patients with respiratory tract infection were elderly(＞65 years old).Most of the patients with skin and soft tissue infection were middle-aged and elderly(＞45 years old).Twelve species were identified among the 162 isolates.The most common species were N.cyriacigeorgica(36.4％,59/162),N.farcinica(25.3％,41/162),and N.otitidiscaviarum(9.9％,16/162).The most common Nocardia species isolated from the respiratory tract was N.cyriacigeorgica,followed by N.farcinica.The most common species causing skin and soft tissue infection were N.cyriacigeorgica,N.farcinica and N.brasiliensis.All Nocardia strains were susceptible to linezolid,followed by 98.8％susceptible to amikacin and 98.1％susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole(TMP-SMZ).Conclusions Nocardia is mainly isolated from respiratory tract,skin and soft tissues.N.cyriacigeorgica and N.farcinica are the most prevalent species.TMP-SMZ is the first choice for treatment of nocardiosis.Combination therapy may be appropriate for moderate and severe infections according to the results of antimicrobial susceptibility testing.

Objective To explore the expression levels and clinical significance of serum eosinophil derived neurotoxin(EDN)and prostaglandin D2(PGD2)in children with respiratory syncytial viruses(RSV)pneu-monia with wheezing.Methods A total of 96 children with RSV pneumonia admitted to the hospital from March 2021 to September 2023 were selected case group,who were divided into wheezing group(n=51)and non-wheezing group(n=45)according to whether they were combined with wheezing or not.The children a-mong wheezing group were divided into mild group(n=23),moderate group(n=17)and severe group(n=11)according to the degree of disease.And the children among wheezing group were also divided into effective group(n=41)and non-effective group(n=10)according to therapeutic effect after treatment for one week.In the same period,60 children were randomly selected as control group.Serum EDN and PGD2 levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Spearman's rank correlation was used to analyse the associ-ation between serum EDN,PGD2 and degree of disease.Logistic regression was used to analyse the association between serum EDN,PGD2 and clinical efficacy of children with wheezing and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum EDN,PGD2 on the clinical effective of chil-dren with wheezing.Results Serum EDN and PGD2 levels were higher in case group than those in control group(P＜0.05).Serum EDN and PGD2 levels were higher in wheezing group than those in non-wheezing group(P＜0.05).Serum EDN and PGD2 levels were increased sequentially in mild group,moderate group and severe group(P＜0.05).Serum EDN and PGD2 levels were positively associated with degree of disease in children with wheezing(P＜0.05).Elevated EDN and PGD2 were risk factors for ineffective clinical efficacy in children with wheezing(OR=1.241,1.225,1.309,P＜0.05).The area under the curve of serum EDN and PGD2 and combined detection to predict the clinical efficacy was 0.778,0.785,0.879,respectively,and the predictive value of combined indicators was greater than that of single indicator(Z=1.956,1.871,P=0.029,0.033).Conclusion Up-regulation of serum EDN and PGD2 expression is involved in wheezing process of children with RSV pneumonia,which is closely related to degree of disease and clinical efficacy.Early com-bined examination of two indicators may assist in the clinical assessment of degree of disease and prediction of clinical efficacy in children with wheezing.

Objective To assess the clinical efficacy of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)agents plus panretinal photocoagulation(PRP)for treating young and middle-aged patients with proliferative diabetic reti-nopathy(PDR).Methods A retrospective case study was conducted on young and middle-aged PDR patients presenting to the Ophthalmology Department of Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital between January 1,2021 and October 1,2024.The patients were divided into three groups according to Chinese Clinical Guidelines for Diabetic Retinopathy(2022):se-vere non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy(NPDR),early proliferative diabetic retinopathy(E-PDR)and fibrous prolifera-tive diabetic retinopathy(F-PDR).A total of 53 patients(94 eyes)were included in this study,and the mean age was(41.66±10.24)year old.There were 17 cases(31 eyes)in the NPDR group,18 cases(33 eyes)in the E-PDR group,and 18 cases(30 eyes)in the F-PDR group.All the patients were treated with the intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF agents(0.5 mg ranibizumab)about 3.5 mm from the sclerocorneal limbus at the inferior temporal sector,once a month,for three consecutive months.Routine PRP treatment was given 1 week after the first injection.Best-corrected visual acuity[BCVA(logMAR)],intraocular pressure,slit-lamp,slit-lamp fundus,optos fundus photography and OCT examinations were per-formed.The central macular thickness(CMT),average macular thickness(AMT),and the incidence of diabetic vitreous hemorrhage and emerging epiretinal membrane were recorded 1 month and 3 months after the first injection.Results Pa-tients in the F-PDR group were younger than those in NPDR and E-PDR groups(all P＜0.05).The BCVA values of eyes in all the three groups increased to varying degrees after 3 months of treatment,compared with those before treatment(all P＜0.05).The eyes in the F-PDR group had poorer vision than those in NPDR and E-PDR groups after 3 months of treat-ment(all P＜0.05).CMT and AMT decreased in all groups after 3 months of treatment,compared with those before treat-ment(all P＜0.05).No significant difference was found in CMT and AMT among the three groups at the same period(all P＞0.05).Eyes in the F-PDR group had higher risk of diabetic vitreous hemorrhage and emerging epiretinal membrane than those in NPDR and E-PDR groups 3 months after treatment(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy combined with PRP can effectively slow the progression of PDR and improve vision acuity in young and middle-aged pa-tients.PDR patients with fibrovascular proliferation are at higher risk of diabetic vitreous hemorrhage and emerging epireti-nal membrane during the treatment with intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy plus PRP.These patients need a close follow-up,and vitrectomy should be performed in a timely manner to relieve vitreous traction when necessary.
