ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanisms of Runmu Dihuang decoction (RMDHD) in treating perimenopausal dry eye with liver-kidney Yin deficiency syndrome based on the silent information regulator 3 (SIRT3)/hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway. MethodsSixty female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups (n=10 per group): Sham operation group, model group, sodium hyaluronate eye drop group, and low-, medium-, and high-dose RMDHD groups (5.625, 11.25, 22.50 g·kg-1). Except for the sham operation group, all rats underwent bilateral ovariectomy and were administered 0.1% benzalkonium chloride eye drops combined with long-term chronic irritation to establish a perimenopausal dry eye model with liver-kidney Yin deficiency syndrome. Drug administration began in the 11th week after modeling and continued for 21 days. General conditions, screen-grip test scores, tear secretion volume, tear film breakup time (TFBUT), and corneal fluorescein staining were recorded. Serum levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol (E2), and progesterone (PROG) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Pathological changes in the lacrimal glands, corneas, and uteri were observed using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Protein expression levels of SIRT3, HIF-1α, phosphorylated NF-κB p65 (p-NF-κB p65), and total NF-κB p65 in the lacrimal glands were detected by Western blot. The expression of inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the lacrimal glands was assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC). ResultsAfter model establishment, no significant differences were observed among the groups except the sham operation group. Compared with the sham operation group, the other groups exhibited slowed movement, dull responses, increased irritability, reduced body weight, elevated rectal temperature, decreased screen-grip test scores, reduced tear secretion, and significantly shortened TFBUT (P<0.05). After treatment, compared with the model group, the sodium hyaluronate eye drop group and all RMDHD groups showed improved general conditions, significantly increased tear secretion (P<0.05), prolonged TFBUT (P<0.05), and elevated screen-grip test scores (P<0.05). Serum ROS and FSH levels were significantly decreased, while E2 and PROG levels were significantly increased (P<0.05). Pathological damage to the cornea, lacrimal glands, and uterus was ameliorated. In addition, protein expression levels of SIRT3 and HIF-1α in the lacrimal glands were significantly upregulated (P<0.05), whereas the expression of p-NF-κB p65, IL-1β, and TNF-α was significantly downregulated (P<0.05). ConclusionRMDHD increases tear secretion and TFBUT, improves lacrimal gland and corneal injury, and alleviates dry eye symptoms in a perimenopausal dry eye rat model with liver-kidney Yin deficiency syndrome. The underlying mechanism may be related to regulation of the SIRT3/HIF-1α/NF-κB signaling pathway, inhibition of oxidative stress and inflammatory responses, and reduction of ocular surface tissue damage.

Objective:To explore the influence of multidimensional integration and 360° support on the function of family and marriage, and quality of life in women patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.Methods:Totally 196 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus from Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, The Second Affiliated Hospital of the Air Force Medical University from August 2016 to November 2017 were included. According to random number table method, these patients were divided into observation group and control group as 98 cases each. Conventional care and hospital discharge were used for control group. On the basis of this, multidimensional integration and 360° support were used for patients of observation group. The function of family and marriage, quality of life in patients were assessed before and after 3 months of the intervention. The treatment adherence was evaluated in 3 months and 6 months after intervention.Results:Before intervention, the marriage family function score, marital satisfaction, conflict resolution methods and the relationship with friends and family, husband and wife exchange scores of the observation group were (2.3 ± 0.5), (24.6 ± 6.1), (25.7 ± 7.1), (28.2 ± 6.9), (28.8 ± 6.9) points, respectively. Three months after intervention, these scores were (2.5 ± 0.7), (31.6 ± 5.0), (31.7 ± 5.3), (28.1 ± 6.8), (29.0 ± 7.1) points, respectively. There was statistically significant difference between before and after the intervention ( t values were -2.371 - 8.631, P < 0.01). These scores of control group before the intervention were (2.3 ± 0.6), (24.5 ± 6.2), (25.2 ± 7.2), (32.5 ± 6.0), (33.9 ± 6.3) points, respectively. Three months after intervention, these scores were (2.3 ± 0.4), (24.5 ± 6.2), (26.1 ± 6.9), (29.1± 4.8), (28.5 ± 7.2) points. Significant differeces were found between before and after the intervention in control group ( t values were -3.878-6.323, P < 0.05 or 0.01). There was statistically significant difference between the two groups after the intervention ( t values were 2.675-8.631, P<0.01). As for observation group, planning (62.8 ± 27.2 vs. 75.5 ± 25.4) and intimate relationship (62.8 ± 25.2 vs. 78.2± 24.9) in quality of life were obviously difference before and after 3 months of intervention ( t values were 3.050, 3.639, P < 0.01). As for control group, planning (62.5 ± 27.6 vs. 65.7 ± 24.9) and intimate relationship (65.8 ±25.2 vs. 63.5 ± 23.8) in quality of life were obviously difference before and after 3 months of intervention ( t values were 2.375, 3.132, P < 0.01). There was statistically significant difference between the two groups after the intervention ( t values were 3.050, 3.639, P < 0.01). The treatment adherence of observation group was significant better than control group. After 6 months intervention, the treatment adherece of observation group was 83.67% (82/98), while the treatment adherece of control group was 44.89% (44/98), significant differences were found btween the two groups ( χ2 value was 0.511, P < 0.01).

Objective:
To understand the awareness of HIV testing results before having sex among men who have sex with men (MSM) .
Methods:
The MSM from a gay bar in Zhejiang Province were recruited through convenience sampling method. A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect the information about demographic characteristics,sexual behaviors,awareness of HIV status between sexual partners and HIV testing results during August of the year 2016. The awareness of HIV testing results before having sex among MSM and the influencing factors were analyzed .
Results:
A total of 124 MSM were recruited in this study,56.56% of whom aged from 25 to 39 years,and 61.29% were single,divorced or widowed. The number of sexual partners they had in the last year ranged from 1 to 40,with median of 8. The MSM who had casual sexual partners accounted for 70.97%. The MSM who had regular HIV testing accounted for 90.32%,yet who would like to share the HIV testing reports with partners only accounted for 18.55%. Whether asking about the HIV status before having sex or not was associated with age,marriage status,the number and characters of sexual partners(P<0.05). The MSM who were informed of the HIV status of commercial partners,casual partners and regular partners accounted for 0,5.10% and 19.77%,respectively. The main reasons for MSM not knowing about the HIV status of their sexual partners were“condom use would prevent HIV infection”(78.38%),“never thought about HIV infection”(53.15%),and “there was no need to ask as the partner looked healthy”(36.94%) .
Conclusion
The proportion of MSM who were aware of HIV testing results before having sex was not high and was associated with age,marriage status,the number and characters of sexual partners. Lack of knowledge about HIV infection might contributed to this low proportion.
