Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(12):1718-1721
Objective:
To understand the prevalence of HIV testing and related factors among young students who had sex in Guangdong Province, in order to provide evidence for relevant education programs and HIV testing promotion in young students.
Methods:
From September to December 2022, a convenient sampling method was used to select 48 749 young students from 16 universities and mechanic colleges in 6 cities including Guangzhou, Shantou, Maoming, Huizhou, Dongguan, and Zhongshan in Guangdong Province for online questionnaire survey. A total of 2 971 students who ever had sexual experiences were screened out, and the HIV testing situation and related factors were investigated by using the questionnaire designed by AIDS Prevention and Education Project for College Students of China STD and AIDS Prevention Association.The influencing factors of HIV testing were analyzed using Chi square test and multiple Logistic regression model.
Results:
Among students who had sexual experiences, 11.92% (354/2 971) were tested for HIV. The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that among young sexual students, using psychoactive substances during sexual activity in the last 1 year ( OR =7.70), having first sex with the same sex ( OR =3.87), having commercial sex ( OR =2.37), having heard of PEP ( OR =2.20), having a high level of self assessed understanding of HIV testing ( OR =1.73), inconsistent use of condoms ( OR =1.56), being aware of HIV infection ( OR =1.53), being aware of HIV knowledge ( OR =1.51) were more likely to test for HIV, and females ( OR =0.39) were less likely to test for HIV ( P < 0.05).
Conclusions
The proportion of HIV testing is low among sexually active young students in Guangdong Province. Targeted interventions should be tailored to promote HIV testing coverage.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets, especially B cells, and the relapse of autoimmune encephalitis (AE).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with AE who were diagnosed and treated in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2012 to January 2023. The clinical data including gender, age and changes in related indicators of CD19 +B cells, CD16/56 +NK cells, CD3 +T cells, CD4 +T cells, CD8 +T cells, IgG, IgA, and IgM before and after recurrence were analyzed.Binary Logistic regression analysis was applied to the study of correlation between AE recurrence and gender, age, CD19 +B cells, CD16/56 +NK cells, CD3 +T cells, CD4 +T cells, CD8 +T cells, IgG, IgA and IgM. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of the cells that affect AE recurrence (CD19 +B cells, CD16/56 +NK cells, CD3 +T cells, CD4 +T cells and CD8 +T cells) were plotted separately. Results:A total of 198 eligible AE patients were included, including 98 males and 100 females, aged (39.52±17.91) years. Among these patients, 78 cases had relapses, with a recurrence rate of 39.4%. The results of Logistic regression analysis showed that CD19 +B cells ( B=0.006, P<0.001), CD16/56 +NK cells ( B=0.004, P<0.05), CD3 +T cells ( B=-0.011, P<0.05), CD4 +T cells ( B=0.014, P<0.05) and CD8 +T cells ( B=0.010, P<0.05) were highly correlated with the relapse of AE. ROC curve analysis showed that CD19 +B cells (area under the curve: 0.833, P<0.001, critical value: 73.5/μl; sensitivity: 69.2%, specificity: 86.7%), CD3 +T cells (area under the curve: 0.784, P<0.001), CD4 +T cells (area under the curve: 0.808, P<0.001), and CD8 +T cells (area under the curve: 0.742, P<0.001) all had a certain predictive value for AE relapse. Among all the indicators, the area under the curve of CD19 +B cells was the largest, which had a higher value in predicting AE recurrence. Conclusion:The increase in peripheral blood CD19 +B cells has high predictive value for the relapse of AE.

ObjectiveTo construct a mouse model of inflammation-associated colorectal cancer (CAC) by using azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) and investigate the effect of Huangqintang on the gut microbiota structure of mice during the occurrence and development of CAC by 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing. MethodA total of 225 C57BL/6J mice were randomized into 5 groups (n=45): Normal, model, positive drug (mesalazine), and high (18 g·kg-1) and low (9 g·kg-1)-dose Huangqintang. Except those in the normal group, each mouse was injected with 10 mg·kg-1 AOM on day 1 and day 5 within 1 week and then given 1.5% DSS solution for 7 days, which was then changed to sterile water for 14 days. This process referred to as one cycle, and mice were treated for a total of 3 cycles. On the first day of DSS treatment, mice were administrated with corresponding drugs by gavage, and the normal group and the model group were administrated with pure water by gavage, once a day until the end of the third cycle. The progression of CAC was divided into inflammation, proliferation, and tumorigenesis stages. At the end of each cycle, the body weight and colon length were measured for mice in each group, and the number of colon tumors in mice was recorded. Meanwhile, the disease activity index (DAI) was determined. The serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and carbohydrate antigen-199 (CA199), a tumor marker in the gastrointestinal tract of mice, were measured by ELISA. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was employed to observe colon lesions. At the same time, 3-5 pellets of fresh feces of mice in the normal group, model group, and high-dose Huangqintang group were collected, from which the fecal DNA of mice was extracted for 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing. ResultCompared with the normal group, the model group showed decreased body weight (P<0.01), increased DAI, and shortened colon length (P<0.05) at the three stages. Compared with the normal group, the model group showed elevated levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α (P<0.05) at the proliferation stage and elevated levels of CA199 at the inflammation, proliferation, and tumorigenesis (P<0.01) stages. Compared with the normal group, the model group presented obvious infiltration of inflammatory cells at the inflammation stage, thickening of the muscle layer and abnormal proliferation of mucosal layer cells at the proliferation and tumorigenesis stages, and final formation of advanced intraepithelial tumor lesions. Compared with the model group, the Huangqintang groups showed no significant improvement in the body weight, decreased DAI score, and increased colon length at the three stages, and the increase of colon length in the tumorigenesis stage was significant (P<0.01). At the tumorigenesis stage, the administration of Huangqintang inhibited tumor formation and growth, reduced the number of tumors (P<0.01), lowered the levels of IL-6 (P<0.05, P<0.01), TNF-α (P<0.05, P<0.01), and IL-1β at the three stages, and decreased CA199 at the inflammation stage as well as at the proliferation and tumorigenesis stages (P<0.01, P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the administration of Huangqintang reduced inflammation and abnormal cell proliferation, delaying the occurrence of tumors. Compared with the normal group, the model group showcased decreased alpha and beta diversity and altered structure of gut microbiota at the inflammation, proliferation, and tumorigenesis stages. The administration of Huangqintang adjusted the abundance and diversity of gut microbiota to the normal levels. At the inflammation stage, Huangqintang positively regulated two differential phyla (Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes) and three differential genera (Muribaculaceae, Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group, and Flavonifractor) in mice. At the proliferation stage, Huangqintang positively regulated two differential phyla (Bacteroidetes and Patescibacteria) and five differential genera (Muribaculaceae, Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group, Candidatus_Saccharimonas, norank_f__UCG-010, and Allobaculum). At the tumorigenesis stage, Huangqintang positively regulated two differential phyla (Proteobacteria and Patescibacteria) and eight differential genera (Muribaculaceae, Candidatus_Saccharimonas, norank_f_UCG-010, Lachnospiraceae_UCG-006, Allobaculum, Bacteroides, Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group, and Flavonifractor) in mice. ConclusionHuangqintang can intervene in the AOM/DSS-induced transformation of inflammation to CAC in mice by correcting inflammation and short-chain fatty acid-related microbiota disorders.

Objective:To explore high-risk sexual behaviors of HIV/AIDS and related factors in young students in Guangzhou.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 5 different types of Guangzhou colleges by convenience sampling with minimum number of classes per grade and 600 samples per school from September to November 2021. The R 4.2.2 software was used to consolidate databases. Simultaneously, a logistic regression model and a decision tree algorithm model, stratifying by whether sexual behaviors had occurred before, were constructed. In each layer, the prediction performance of the two models was evaluated through area under receiver operating characteristic and the confusion matrix, and then the model with high prediction performance was retained.Results:A total of 7 346 students were surveyed. The proportion of the respondents reporting sexual experience were 9.08% (667/7 346), in whom 26.24% (175/667) had risky sexual activity in the past year. The decision tree algorithm model performs well in predicting whether high-risk sexual behaviors have occurred in the past year. When the complexity parameter value is 0.018, and nsplit reaches 4, which means there are 5 leaf nodes in the model, the cross error of the tree will be the smallest. The first best grouping variable in the decision tree was whether to use condoms throughout the first sexual behavior. If condoms were used at their sexual debut, but homosexual practices have occurred in the past year, the probability of risky sexual behavior will increase. If homosexual practices have not occurred in the past year, but the age of sexual debut was below 18 years old while the period of HIV education was after high school, the probability of risk sexual behavior will also increase.Conclusions:AIDS-related risky behaviors of young students still deserved attention. The experience of sexual debut and whether AIDS-related health education has been received before the sexual debut were significant predictors for the occurrence of high-risk sexual behavior. The decision tree algorithm model has particular applicability for predicting and screening potential risk populations.
