Objective:To understand the characteristics of new infections in the newly reported HIV-1 infected population in Luzhou, to find out the characteristics of the high-risk population, which may provide a basis for developing precise prevention and control measures locally.Methods:HIV-1 LAg Avidity EIA test was applied for newly reported cases in Luzhou from 2018 to 2021. The chi-square test was used for univariate analysis, logistic regression model for multivariate analysis, and spatial autocorrelation and hotspot analysis were applied to explore the spatial distribution characteristics of new infections in Luzhou city.Results:A total of 4 494 cases reported in the odd-numbered months were selected for testing, with 673 newly infected cases and the proportion of newly infected cases was 14.98%. Newly infected cases were predominantly male (472/673, 70.13%), married (335/673, 49.78%), heterosexual transmission (621/673, 92.27%), age>50 years (520/673, 77.27%), and junior high school or lower education (599/673, 89.00%). The proportion of new infections in each year were 11.74% (129/1 099), 17.11% (247/1 444), 13.57% (154/1 134) and 17.50% (143/817), respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=20.024, P<0.001) and an upward trend ( χ2=5.997, P=0.014). There were statistically significant differences in different transmission routes, gender, education level, occupation, sample source and residence (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that gender, marital status, transmission route, current address, and sample source were all influencing factors for new infections. There are spatial autocorrelation characteristics of new case incidence in 2018 and 2021, hotspot areas gradually shifted from dispersed to relatively concentrated, with the number fluctuating with reported year. Conclusions:The proportion of new HIV-1 infections in Luzhou is relatively low throughout the province, but it is on the rise. The proportion of new infections is higher among youth, students, homosexual transmission, and retired persons. Attention should be focused on hotspot areas and routine surveillance and testing of key populations in hotspot areas should be strengthened.

Objective:
To investigate the effect of Xileisan temperature-sensitive gels on endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) expression in rats with bleeding internal hemorrhoids, so as to provide insights into the illustration of the pathogenesis of internal hemorrhoid hemorrhage.
Methods:
Thirty six-week-old SPF-graded rats of the SD strain were randomly divided into the normal group, model group and Xileisan temperature-sensitive gel group, of 10 rats in each group (half male and half female). Cotton balls were soaked with 0.16 mL of croton oil mixture and then inserted into the anus of rats in the model group and Xileisan temperature-sensitive gel group for 10 s. After 6 h when the rectal mucosa tissues presented remarkable swelling, the perianal mucosa was rubbed repeatedly with a rough glass rod until the glass rod was bloody. Following successful modeling, rats in the Xileisan temperature-sensitive gel group was given rectal administration of Xileisan temperature-sensitive gel at a dose of 0.5 mL/d, while animals in the normal group and model group were given rectal administration of the blank gel at the same dose. Following administration for 7 successive days, rats were sacrificed, and the hemorrhoids tissues were collected for pathological examinations. The eNOS, VEGF-A and TNF-α expression was determined using immunohistochemistry and compared among groups.
Results:
Compared with the normal group, the rat hemorrhoids mucosa showed inflammatory changes in the model group, with submucosal congestion and edema, blood vessel congestion and dilation, and visible new blood vessels, and remarkable improvements were seen in the hemorrhoid mucosal inflammation in the Xileisan temperature-sensitive gel group. There were significant differences in the integrated option density (IOD) of eNOS and VEGF-A expression in rat hemorrhoids tissues among the three groups (P<0.05), and no gender-specific differences were seen (P>0.05). The IOD values of eNOS (45.84±13.66) and VEGF-A expression (45.89±9.06) were higher in rat hemorrhoids tissues in the model group than in the normal group (23.11±5.64 and 27.91±11.65) and the Xileisan temperature-sensitive gel group (27.41±8.89 and 33.44±6.20) (P<0.05), while no significant differences were detected in the IOD of TNF-α expression in rat hemorrhoids tissues among the three groups (P>0.05).
Conclusion
Xileisan temperature-sensitive gel may alleviate inflammation and internal hemorrhoids hemorrhage through inhibiting eNOS and VEGF-A expression in rat hemorrhoids tissues.

Abstract
Anorectal malignant melanoma (ARMM) is a subtype of malignant melanoma with low incidence and high invasion, and has a poor prognosis due to its hidden location and rapid progression. In terms of pathogenesis, the molecular landscape and potential carcinogenic driver gene characteristics of ARMM are significantly different from those of cutaneous melanoma, manifested by a lower rate of somatic mutations, no ultraviolet exposure-related mutation characteristics, a high incidence of cell structural variation, and high genomic instability. The tumor-driving genomic mutations are mainly KIT, NRAS, and NF1 mutations, and the incidence of SF3B1 mutations is significantly higher than that in other sites of mucosal melanoma. Surgery is still the main treatment for ARMM, while immunotherapy and targeted therapy need further development. This article reviews the characteristics of carcinogenic driver gene mutations and clinical diagnosis and treatment of ARMM, providing a reference for the prevention and treatment of ARMM.
