Objective:To explore the latent-classes of HIV high risk behaviors among college students, and the association between experiences of intimate partner violence (IPV) and HIV high risk behaviors, to provide evidence for reducing the HIV high risk behaviors among them.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted from October to December 2019 among university students from six higher education institutions in Zhuhai City, using a multi-stage cluster sampling method, with an estimated sample size of 1 318. The study included participants who self-reported being in a romantic relationship and having sexual experience within the past year. Data on sociodemographic characteristics, IPV experiences, and HIV high risk behaviors were collected. Latent-class analysis was performed on HIV high risk behaviors, and chi-squared tests and multivariable logistic regression were used to analyze the associations between IPV experiences and different latent classes of HIV high risk behaviors.Results:The effective response rate for the survey was 95.4% (12 235/12 821). 1 382 college students from Zhuhai were included as participants in the study, with 19.4% (268/1 382) self-reporting having experienced IPV. Latent-class analysis of HIV high risk behaviors classified the participants into three latent groups: low-risk group (78.1%, 1 079/1 382), multiple sexual partners/alcohol use before sex group (15.8%, 219/1 382), and high-risk group (6.1%, 84/1 382). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that students who had experienced psychological violence were more likely to be in the group that had multiple sexual partners/alcohol use before sex (a OR=2.51, 95% CI:1.48-4.27). Those who had experienced IPV (a OR=5.74, 95% CI:3.45-9.55), physical violence (a OR=9.26, 95% CI: 5.24-16.35), sexual violence (a OR=8.46, 95% CI:4.93-14.52), or psychological violence (a OR=15.99, 95% CI:8.64-29.57) were more likely to be in the high-risk group. Students who experienced two (a OR=9.37, 95% CI:3.55-24.71) or three types of IPV (a OR=50.09, 95% CI: 21.06-119.14) were more likely to be in the high-risk group compared to those with no IPV experiences. Conclusions:HIV high risk behaviors among college students in Zhuhai exhibited heterogeneity across different latent groups, and these groups have different associations with IPV experiences. Universities should tailor targeted HIV/AIDS education and prevention strategies based on the characteristics of each latent group to reduce HIV high risk behaviors among college students.

Objective:To investigate the effect and safety of the double-cross dressing technique for composite rhytidectomy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on a total of 121 patients with face and neck ageing, who were admitted to the Facial and Neck Plastic Surgery Center, the Plastic Surgery Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from June 2020 to May 2023, all female with the age ranged 34-72 years old. All the patients underwent a full facial and neck composite rhytidectomy. Immediately after surgery, a double-cross bandaging was applied. The cotton pad was nested on the outer auricle, so that the front of the ear and the back of the ear were the first cross. This cross aimed to accurately pressurized the temporal, buccal region and postauricle flap. The second cross occurred at the radix. It secured composite tissue flap at the zygomatic arch and the buccal fat pad zone. Patient′s external auricle was not compressed after bandaging. The healing and the occurrence of complications were observed.Results:All the patients were satisfied with the comfort of the bandaging, the satisfied rate was 100% (121/121). All the patients had different degrees of periocular and perioral swelling 72 hours after surgery. Conjunctival edema and xanthochromia occurred in 30 patients, and oral mucosal congestion occurred in 25 patients, all of which were spontaneously resolved 2-4 weeks after surgery. Postoperative nursing was easily managed. There were no events such as dressing loosening, blocked draining tubes, and difficulty in replacing tubes. All the patients were followed up for 3-12 months after surgery, the flap in the postauricular area of all patients healed well, and there were no adverse complications such as wound infection, necrosis of the flap in the operative area, and delayed healing of the incision.Conclusion:The double-cross bandaging technique achieves the comfort bandaging and good protection of the face, which is safe and effective.

To better analyze the problem of abnormal neuromuscular coupling related to motor dysfunction for stroke patients, the functional coupling of the multichannel electromyography (EMG) were studied and the difference between stroke patients and healthy subjects were further analyzed to explore the pathological mechanism of motor dysfunction after stroke. Firstly, the cross-frequency coherence (CFC) analysis and non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) were combined to construct a CFC-NMF model to study the linear coupling relationship in bands and the nonlinear coupling characteristics in different frequency ratios during elbow flexion and extension movement. Furthermore, the significant coherent area and sum of cross-frequency coherence were respectively calculated to quantitatively describe the intermuscular linear and nonlinear coupling characteristics. The results showed that the linear coupling relationship between multichannel muscles was different in frequency bands and the overall coupling was stronger in low frequency band. The linear coupling strength of the stroke patients was lower than that of the healthy subjects in different frequency bands especially in beta and gamma bands. For the nonlinear coupling, the intermuscular coupling strength of stroke patients in different frequency ratios was significantly lower than that of the healthy subjects, and the coupling strength in the frequency ratio 1∶2 was higher than that in the frequency ratio 1∶3. This method can provide a theoretical basis for exploring the intermuscular coupling mechanism of patients with motor dysfunction.

Objective To observe the value of three-dimensional arterial spin labeling (3D-ASL) PWI in evaluating postoperative cerebral perfusion changes in patients with Moyamoya disease.Methods Totally 19 patients of Moyamoya disease confirmed with DSA were enrolled.All the patients received revascularization.Before and after operation,3D-ASL PWI and dynamic susceptibility contrast perfusion weighted imaging (DSC-PWI) were performed.ROI was located in the region with obvious perfusion changes supplied by middle cerebral artery on the operating side.Then the cerebral blood flow (CBF) was measured on 3D-ASL images,and time to peak (TTP) was measured on DSC-PWI images before and after operation.The differences of CBF and TTP before and after operation were compared,as well as the improvement rate of CBF,TTP and clinical symptoms.Results Before and after operation,CBF was (41.40±11.36) ml/(100 g · min) and (54.10±16.69) ml/(100 g · min),respectively,and the difference was statistically significant (t=-4.273,P<0.01).TTP was (28.66 ± 3.21) s and (26.44 ± 3.93) s,respectively,and the difference was also statistically significant (t =-2.936,P<0.01).The improvement rate of clinical symptoms was 84.21% (16/19),of CBF was 78.95% (15/19) and of TTP was 68.42% (13/19),the differences of improvement rate had no statistically significant (P=0.625).Conclusion 3D-ASL PWI is noninvasive,no contrast agent need to be used,and can be used to evaluate perfusion changes after operation of revascularization in patients with Moyamoya disease.

Objective To investigate the time course of cerebral infarction with diffusion kurtosis imaging-related parameters.Methods According to the time interval from symptom onset to MRI examination, 114 cases of cerebral infarction were divided into five groups:8 cases of hyperacute phase(less than 6 hours), 14 cases of acute(>6-24 h), 60 cases of early subacute(>24 h-7 d), 20 cases of late subacute(>7-14 d), and 12 cases of chronic phase ( >14 d-2 months).They underwent routine diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) scanning, and apparent diffusion coefficient ( ADC) and DKI-derived parameters were obtained from them.The derived diffusion parameters were compared among different phases in the patients , and the percent of changes in the infarcted regions were calculated.Paired t-test was used to compare the difference of each parameter between the infarcted region and contralateral normal region , and their correlation with time interval was tested using Pearson correlation analysis.Results Except for chronic phase , mean kurtosis ( MK) , axial kurtosis ( K∥) , radial kurtosis (K⊥)map showed uneven high signal in the infarcted regions , while mean diffusion(MD), axial diffusion(D∥), radial diffusion(D⊥) showed uniform low signal.MK values in the infarcted regions of hyperacute, acute, early subacute and late subacute phase (1.331 ±0.357,1.578 ±0.453,1.519 ±0.455, 1.403 ±0.275 ) increased significantly , compared with the contralateral normal mirror regions ( 0.850 ± 0.236,0.827 ±0.194,0.865 ±0.144,0.939 ±0.212) (t values were 5.242,6.907,12.416,5.629, respectively.P values were all less than 0.01 ).MK, K∥, K⊥ achieved a peak in the acute and early subacute phase , and showed more amplitude than the decrease of MD , D∥, D⊥.Then they gradually reduced, and tended to normalize.MK, MD, ADC had a significant correlation with the time onset of cerebral infarction ( r was 0.354, 0.747, 0.723, respectively, P values were all less than 0.05 ).Conclusion Diffusion kurtosis imaging can provide more diffusion information than conventional DWI , which can better reflect the microstructure changes in tissue.
