Objective: To investigate the status of condom use and its influencing factors among men who have sex with men (MSM), so as to provide a basis for improving condom utilization rates and AIDS prevention and control in this population. Methods: From May to October 2024, a snowball sampling method was employed to recruit MSM in Songjiang District, Shanghai Municipality. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect data on demographic characteristics, AIDS-related knowledge, sexual behaviors, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), and condom use in the past six months. Multivariable logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for consistent condom use. Results: A total of 921 MSM were surveyed, with a median age of 29.00 (interquartile range, 9.00) years. Among them, 697 (75.68%) were aware of AIDS-related knowledge, 826 (89.69%) expressed willingness to use PrEP, and 835 (90.66%) were willing to use PEP. Additionally, 787 (85.45%) MSM reported their age at first homosexual intercourse as ≥18 years, while 519 (56.35%) reported consistent condom use in the past six months. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that MSM who were aware of AIDS-related knowledge (OR=0.582, 95% CI: 0.423-0.801), willing to use PrEP (OR =0.611, 95% CI: 0.385-0.969), and whose age at first homosexual intercourse was <18 years (OR=0.480, 95% CI: 0.330-0.700) were less likely to consistent use condoms. Conclusion The proportion of consistent condom use among the MSM remains relatively low, which is primarily associated with AIDS-related knowledge, willingness to use PrEP, and the age at first homosexual intercourse.

Objective To explore the application value of computed tomography (CT) three-dimensional reconstruction in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods A total of 102 patients who underwent TKA in our hospital between April 2022 and April 2025 were enrolled and divided using a random number table into a traditional group (51 cases, routine preoperative evaluation) and a study group (51 cases, CT three-dimensional reconstruction-assisted surgery). The therapeutic efficacy at 3 months postoperatively and perioperative indicators were compared between the two groups. The hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle was measured preoperatively and at 3 months postoperatively. The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score were recorded preoperatively and at 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Complications were documented. Results The excellent/good rate in the study group (92.16%) was higher than that in the traditional group (74.51%) (P<0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, and hospital stay in the study group were (69.52 ± 7.11) min, (102.69 ± 8.54) mL, (167.33 ± 12.35) mL, and (10.93 ± 2.37) days, respectively, which were shorter than those in the traditional group [(78.45 ± 5.98) min, (108.36 ± 10.02) mL, (175.96 ± 14.93) mL, and (12.04 ± 1.95) days] (P<0.05). At 3 months postoperatively, the HKA angle was 178.02° ± 1.05° in the study group and 177.45° ± 1.34° in the traditional group, both were significantly improved compared with those before operation, with the study group showing better improvement (P<0.05). The HSS knee and WOMAC scores in both groups at 3 and 6 months postoperatively were improved compared with preoperative scores (P<0.05). At 3 and 6 months postoperatively, the study group showed higher HSS knee score and lower WOMAC score than the traditional group (P<0.05). The incidence of complications in the study group (3.92%) was lower than that in the traditional group (17.65%) (P<0.05). Conclusion TKA guided by CT three-dimensional reconstruction improved the excellent/good rate, optimized HKA angle and knee function, shortened operation time and hospital stay, reduced intraoperative blood loss and postoperative drainage volume, and decreased the incidence of complications.

Objective To explore the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome types of post-infection cough and their relationship with the level of airway immune characteristics and small airway function.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 216 patients with post infection cough admitted to our hospital from January 2023 to June 2024.Syndrome information was collected and cluster analysis was performed to analyze the correlation between TCM syndrome types and airway immune characteristic indicators.According to the degree of small airway dysfunction,the patients were divided into mild group(n=74),moderate group(n=84)and severe group(n=53).The correlation between airway immune characteristic indicators and small airway function indicators was analyzed,and the relationship between small airway dysfunction degree and TCM syndrome was also correspondingly analyzed.Results In terms of TCM,cough after infection could be divided into five types:wind-heat stagnation of the lung syndrome,wind-cold invasion of the lung syndrome,phlegm-dampness accumulation in lung syndrome,liver fire invading the lung syndrome,and qi-yin deficiency syndrome.Patients with qi-yin deficiency syndrome had specific airway immune characteristics,with an increase in the proportion of neutrophils,eosinophils and lymphocytes,a decrease in the proportion of macrophages(P＜0.05),an increase in the levels of inflammatory factors IL-17 and TNF-α,and a decrease in the levels of IL-10 and TGF-β.The wind-cold attacking lung syndrome and qi-yin deficiency syndrome were positively correlated with the proportion of neutrophils,eosinophils and lymphocytes,while negatively correlated with the proportion of macrophages(P＜0.05).Qi-yin deficiency syndrome was positively correlated with IL-17 and TNF-α levels,while negatively correlated with IL-10 and TGF-β levels(P＜0.05).As the degree of small airway dysfunction worsened,the proportion of neutrophils,eosinophils and lymphocytes increased(P＜0.05),the proportion of macrophages decreased(P＜0.05),the levels of inflammatory factors IL-17 and TNF-αincreased,and the levels of IL-10 and TGF-β decreased(P＜0.05).The indicators of small airway function(FVC％pred,FEV1％pred,FEV1/FVC,PEF％pred,FEF25％pred,FEF50％pred,FEF75％pred,FEF25-75％pred)were negatively correlated with the proportion of neutrophils,eosinophils and lymphocytes,the levels of inflammatory factors IL-17 and TNF-α(P＜0.05),while positively correlated with the proportion of macrophages,the levels of IL-10 and TGF-β(P＜0.05).Conclusion This study not only reveals the correlation of different TCM syndromes of cough after infection with airway immune characteristics and small airway function,but also clarifies the immunological characteristics of qi-yin deficiency syndrome as a key syndrome type,and confirms that the immune imbalance pattern of high neutrophil proportion and low macrophage level in this syndrome type is specifically associated with severe small airway dysfunction.

Aim To investigate the mechanism of ac-tion of Qingre Zhixue granules in the treatment of IgA vasculitic nephritis(IgAVN)based on network phar-macology and animal experiments.Methods The ac-tive ingredients and targets of Qingre Zhixue granules were screened out by TCMSP database.The disease targets of IgAVN were retrieved by Disgenet,Gene-cards OMIM and TTD databases.The intersection tar-gets were obtained by WeChat online database,and the information was imported into Cytoscope 3.7.1 soft-ware and STRING analysis platform to construct a drug-active component-therapeutic target network.Based on the core targets,GO and KEGG pathway enrichment a-nalysis was performed through the Metascape database to select key targets and core active components.The results of network pharmacology were verified by ani-mal experiments.The animal model of IgAVN was con-structed by the combination of disease and syndrome.The urine red blood cells and 24-hour urine protein of IgAVN model rats after intervention of Qingre Zhixue granules were detected.HE staining and IgA immuno-fluorescence deposition of renal tissue were observed.Western blot and qRT-PCR were used to detect the ex-pression of core targets in renal tissue.Results Net-work pharmacology showed that 109 active ingredients,402 drug targets,1 285 disease targets and 113 inter-section targets were obtained.The core targets screened by protein interaction and network topology a-nalysis were IL6,TNF,VEGFA,etc.The core drug ingredients were quercetin,paeoniflorin,luteolin,kaempferol and baicalein.A total of 2 545 gene func-tions were enriched by GO,and 164 gene pathways were enriched by KEGG.Qingre Zhixue granules could treat IgAVN by regulating TNF signaling pathway,MAPK signaling pathway,IL-17 signaling pathway,HIF-1 signaling pathway,Toll receptor signaling path-way,NF-κB signaling pathway and apoptosis.Animal experiments showed that compared with the blank group,the urine red blood cells and 24-hour urine pro-tein quantification in the model group increased(P＜0.05);the expression of serum IL-6,TNF-α and VEGF-α increased(P＜0.05).HE staining showed glomerular mesangial proliferation,capillary lumen ste-nosis,accompanied by a small amount of inflammatory cell infiltration,glomerular IgA immunofluorescence deposition;the expression of TNF-α,p-p65,p-p38 protein and TNF-α mRNA in renal tissue increased(P＜0.05).After the intervention of Qingre Zhixue gran-ules,urine red blood cells and 24-hour urine protein decreased(P＜0.05).The changes of renal HE stai-ning were improved and glomerular IgA deposition was reduced.TNF-α,p-p65,p-p38 protein and TNF-αmRNA in renal tissue decreased(P＜0.05).Conclu-sions The active ingredients such as quercetin,peony glycoside and luteolin Qingre Zhixue granules regulate TNF signaling pathway,MAPK signaling pathway,IL-17 signaling pathway and reduce IL-6,TNF-α and VEGF-α in the treatment of IgAVN.

This consensus was developed by the Orthodontic Society of the Chinese Stomatological Association to provide a systematic, scientific, and practical guideline for informed consent in orthodontic care. Orthodontic treatment is typically lengthy, highly individualized, and involves multiple factors such as growth and development, occlusal function, and facial esthetics. Rapid technological advances and diverse risk profiles make the traditional reliance on orthodontist experience or institutional templates insufficient to ensure patients′ full understanding and autonomous decision-making. To address this, the expert panel conducted extensive reviews of domestic and international guidelines, analyzed representative dispute cases, and performed multicenter patient-clinician surveys. Using a multi-round Delphi method, the group established a standardized informed consent framework covering the initial consultation, treatment, and retention phases. The consensus emphasizes that informed consent is not only a fundamental legal and ethical requirement but also a key step in building trust, improving patient compliance, and enhancing treatment satisfaction. Orthodontists should clearly and comprehensively explain treatment plans, potential risks, uncertainties, and associated costs, while respecting the autonomy of patients or guardians, and maintain continuous communication and dynamic evaluation throughout the treatment process. The release of this consensus provides unified and authoritative guidance for clinical orthodontics, helping to standardize informed consent, enhance its transparency, safeguard patient rights, reduce medical risks, and promote high-quality, sustainable development of orthodontic practice.

Objective:To study the characteristics of oral microbiota in patients with periodontitis and its effects on Toll-like recep-tors(TLRs)signaling pathway and levels of inflammatory factors.Methods:Fifty patients with periodontal disease who received treatment in our hospital from January 2021 to September 2023 were selected as the trial group,and 50 healthy physical examination people during the same period were selected as the control group.Subgingival microbiota was cultured and gingival crevicular fluid samples were collected.Subgingival bacterial diversity was detected by 16S rRNA,interleukin-6(IL-6),IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)levels in gingival crevicular fluid were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,and TLRs signaling path-way was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction.Results:The subgingival Simpson index in the trial group was higher than that in the control group.Subgingival microbiota was significantly separated between the two groups,and the relative abundance of Prevotella,Hemophilus and Veillonella were significantly different(P＜0.05).The number of microbiota in the trial group was higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).The levels of IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α and mRNA relative expression of TLRs signaling pathway in gingival crevicular fluid in trial group were higher than those in control group(P＜0.05).The levels of IL-6,IL-1β and TNF-α in gingival crevicular fluid of patients with periodontal disease were positively correlated with the number of microbiota of Parvobacteria,Tenella forsythiae,Prevotella intermedia and Porphyromonas gingivalis.Logistic regression analysis showed that the number of microbiota of Parvobacteria,Tenneella forsythiae,Prevotella intermedia and Porphyromonas gingivalis were independent factors influencing the high expression of IL-6,IL-1β and TNF-α.Conclusion:In periodontitis patients,the subgingi-val microbiota was changed,the mRNA expression of TLRs signaling pathway and the expression of inflammatory factors were in-creased,and the number of subgingival microbiota was significantly correlated with the expression of inflammatory factors.
