Over the past four decades,China’s response to HIV/AIDS has undergone a profound transformation—from an initial state of nearly absence to a comprehensive,robust,and highly coordinated system. The implementation of the “Four Frees and One Care” policy,the widespread adoption of antiretroviral therapy,and the integration of the “test-and-treat” strategy have collectively shifted HIV/AIDS from a fatal condition to a manageable chronic disease,significantly improving both the quality of life and life expectancy of affected individuals. This article systematically reviews three critical stages in the development of HIV/AIDS prevention and control in China,with particular emphasis on the positive impact of medical advances. It further summarizes key progress in testing capacity,drug accessibility,and service delivery,while highlighting the challenges and directions that lie ahead. This review aims to provide scientific evidence to support the ultimate goal of ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Objective To explore the clinical value of apolipoprotein C1(APOC1)and Klotho expression levels in predicting the prognosis of patients with renal cancer after laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.Methods Eighty patients diagnosed as renal cell carcinoma and underwent laparoscopic partial nephrectomy were collected as the study subjects.According to the prognosis,patients were separated into the good prognosis group(61 cases)and the poor prognosis group(19 cases).Seventy-eight healthy individuals underwent physical examination were collected as the control group.The general clinical data of the subjects were collected,and serum levels of APOC1 and Klotho were tested and analyzed in three groups.Pearson method was applied to analyze the correlation between serum APOC1 and Klotho levels in patients.Cox regression was applied to analyze factors affecting the prognosis of patients.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was applied to analyze the predictive efficacy of APOC1 and Klotho levels on the prognosis of patients.Results There were significant differences in clinical stage and pathological grade between the poor prognosis group and the good prognosis group(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the serum APOC1 levels were significantly increased in the good prognosis group and the poor prognosis group(P<0.05),while the Klotho expression levels were obviously reduced(P<0.05).And the serum APOC1 level in the control group,the poor prognosis group and the good prognosis group was increased successively(P<0.05),while the serum Klotho level was obviously decreased successively(P<0.05).The serum APOC1 expression level of patients was negatively correlated with Klotho level(r=-0.577,P<0.001).The Cox regression results showed that decreased expression level of Klotho and elevated expression level of APOC1,pathologic grading 2 and clinical staging stage Ⅱ were all independent risk factors for poor prognosis(P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of serum APOC1 and Klotho levels,and their combined application in predicting poor postoperative prognosis in renal cancer patients was 0.863,0.850 and 0.953,respectively,and the clinical value of combination of the two in predicting the prognosis of patients was superior to that of APOC1 and Klotho alone.Conclusion Patients with poor prognosis after retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy have a obvious increase in serum levels of APOC1 and a obvious decrease in serum level of Klotho.The combination of the two has high clinical significance in predicting the prognosis of patients with retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.

Objective:To investigate the roles of secretory phosphoprotein 1(SPP1)in the progression of colorectal cancer(CRC)and the underlying mechanism.Methods:Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis(GEPIA)database was used to obtain the expression of SPP1 gene in CRC.Immunohistochemistry analysis and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of SPP1 in distal normal colorectal tissues,adjacent tissues,CRC tissues,normal colorectal cell lines and CRC cell lines.The cell viability,colony formation,migration and invasion of CRC cells as well as the activation of AKT/glycogen synthase kinase 3β(GSK3β)signaling pathway and the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)-related proteins in HT-29 cells and HCT-116 cells were detected by CCK-8 assay,colony formation assay,trranswell assay and Western blotting after SPP1 knockdown in vitro through lentiviral infection carrying shRNA against SPP1 gene.Tumor formation assay was used to detect the effect of SPP1 knockdown on the growth and lung metastasis of transplanted HT-29 tumor in vivo.Results:SPP1 expression was significantly increased in CRC tissues and cell lines(P<0.001)and was associated with poor prognosis of CRC patients according to GEPIA database analysis.The expression of SPP1 protein was significantly upregulated in CRC tissues and cells(P<0.001).After knockdown of SPP1 expression,the cell viability,colony formation,migration and invasion of CRC cells were significantly decreased(P<0.001),the expression of phosphorylated AKT(phospho-AKT,p-AKT),phosphorylated GSK3β(phospho-GSK3β,p-GSK3β),Snail and Vementin were significantly decreased(P<0.001),while E-cadherin expression was significantly increased(P<0.001).Knockdown of SPP1 expression inhibited the growth and lung metastasis of HT-29 cell tumor xenografts in mice.Conclusion:SPP1 knockdown can inhibit the proliferation,migration and invasion of CRC cells,which may be related to the reduction of AKT/GSK3β signaling activity.

The purpose of this study was to study the effect of three different transfection reagents (Lipofectamine™ LTX & PLUS™, Lipofectamine 2000 and Nano-PAMAM-D) and three different testicular injection methods (rete testicular injection, seminiferous tubules injection and testicular interstitial injection) on the efficiency of production transgenic mice. After the mixtures of plasmid DNA (pEFP-C1) and transfection reagent were injected with different testicular injection methods, the sperm density, vitality, positive sperm rates and PCR positive transgenic mice rate were examined 30 days after injection. The results showed that the damage degree from slight to serious of three transfection reagents was Lipofectamine™ LTX & PLUS™, Lipofectamine 2000, and PAMAM-D. The sperm positive rates with green fluorescence of these three groups were 35.65%±0.69%, 12.86%±0.35% and 10.04%±0.20%, respectively. The PCR positive rates of transgenic newborn mice were 29.17%, 13.70% and 5.88%, respectively. Among the groups of different testicular injection methods, the damage degree from slight to serious was rete testicular injection, seminiferous tubules injection, and testicular interstitial injection, whereas the sperm positive rates with green fluorescence were 35.13%, 15.13%, and 0%, respectively. The PCR positive rates of transgenic newborn mice among different testicular injection groups were 33.3%, 12.5%, and 0.0%. The combination of rete testicular injection and Lipofectamine™ LTX & PLUS™ had the lowest toxicity and highest transgenic efficiency in the production of transgenic mice.
