Objective: To investigate the characteristics and potential risk factors associated with HIV infection among newly reported HIV positive male student cases in Jiangsu Province from 2023 to 2024, so as to provide evidence for targeted intervention strategies. Methods: Data were obtained from the China CDC Surveillance System on newly reported HIV positive male student cases from 2023 to 2024. A survey was conducted to collect information on demographic characteristics, knowledge of AIDS prevention, education and training history, HIV testing history, behavioral and substance use patterns, and other relevant factors prior to HIV diagnosis among 343 newly reported HIV positive male student cases in Jiangsu Province. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the risk factors of HIV infection among male students. Results: Among the HIV positive male student cases, homosexual behavior accounted for 93.88% of transmission routes, while 10.20% involved heterosexual contact, as well as 4.08% for two sexual hehaviors. Awareness of HIV prevention knowledge was 97.08%, and 66.76% had previously undergone HIV testing. Among the respondents, 10.50% had used rush poppers as enhancers, and 72.30% had received HIV prevention education within the past year. Among students cases with homosexual behavior, the median time from first homosexual contact to HIV diagnosis was ≤2 years, with 54.66% of cases falling into this category; the most common way of finding same sex partners was through social software, accounting for 88.20% of cases, while the proportion of those via "Blued" app reached 87.07% ; the proportion of using condoms every time during sexual activity in the past six months was 12.27%. Among the student cases with homosexual behavior, the results of multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that student cases aged 18 to 24 ( OR =4.52) and >24 ( OR = 19.23 ), without receiving education on HIV prevention in the past year ( OR =1.86), having consistent condom use ( OR =2.73) and not using condoms ( OR =2.12) during the last sexual activity were more likely to had the first same sex sexual activity for more than 3 years before being diagnosed as HIV positive cases (all P <0.05). Student cases who were uncertain about their partner s sexual identity ( OR =0.33), and who primarily identified same sex partners through "other" means ( OR = 0.23 ) were more likely to avoid HIV testing; in contrast, student cases with consistent condom use during the last homosexual encounter ( OR =7.20) was significantly associated with increased likelihood of HIV testing (all P <0.05). Conclusions Newly reported HIV positive male student cases in Jiangsu Province exhibit serious discrepancies between knowledge and practice regarding HIV prevention. Measures are needed to accelerate the optimization of campus based HIV prevention education content and delivery methods. Simultaneously, enhanced management of extracurricular male populations is essential to effectively control the spread of HIV.

Objective To explore the differences in stress distribution and stability of the planta pedis in the patients with unilateral and bilateral plantar fasciitis(PF)through plantar stress and center of pressure(COP)analysis.Methods A total of 100 patients with PF visiting in this hospital were enrolled,among them 50 cases were unilateral heel pain(unilateral heel pain group)and 50 cases were bilateral heel pain(bilateral heel pain).Meanwhile,50 healthy subjects were included(healthy group).In the health group and bilateral heel pain groups,the average stress value of both planta pedis surfaces of each subject was taken and named as the J0 group and H2 group,respectively.In the unilateral heel pain group,the plantar stress in 50 healthy feet and 50 affected feet were named as the J1 group and H1 group,respectively.The plantar pedis was divided into 10 regions for analysis and comparison[the first foot toe(T1),T2-5,the first-fifth metatarsal bones(M1-M5),the mid foot(MF),heel medial side(MH),heel lateral side(LH)].The subjects in 3 groups conducted the static and dynamic tests respectively,and the differences in plantar stress distribution and COP parameters among the J1,H1,H2 and J0 groups were compared respectively.Results In the static tests,the maximum pressure of the LH regions in the group J1 was increased when compared with the group J0,the contact area of LH regions in the group H1 was reduced when compared with the group J0,the maximum pressure of the M2 and M3 regions in the H1 group was increased when compared with the group J0,the contact areas of the MH and LH regions in the H2 group were decreased when compared with the group J0,the maximum pressure of the M1 region was increased when compared with the group J0,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).In the dynamic tests,the maximum pressure of the T2-5 regions in the J1 group was increased when compared with the J0 group,the maximum pressure of the M3 region in the group H1 was increased when compared with the group J0,the maximum pressure of the M3 and M4 region in the group H2 was in-creased when compared with the group J0,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The COP 95%confidence ellipse area in the health group was the smallest,followed by the bilateral heel pain group,and finally the unilateral heel pain group,and the differences among 3 groups were statistically signifi-cant(P<0.05),there was also statistically significant difference between pairwise comparisons in 3 groups(P<0.05).Conclusion In the static condition,the pressure of the healthy heel and affected forefoot in the patients with PF is increased;while in the dynamic condition,the pressure of the toes of the healthy foot and forefoot of the affected foot in the patients with PF is also increased.The distribution of plantar stress in the patients with PF has larger difference compared with the healthy population,and the stability is poor.Meas-ures can be taken to improve the abnormal force on the foot,reduce pain and reduce the risk of falling.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Tangning Tongluo tablets in the treatment of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy （DR）. MethodsFourteen research centers participated in this study， which spanned a time interval from September 2021 to May 2023. A total of 240 patients with nonproliferative DR were included and randomly assigned into an observation group （120 cases） and a control group （120 cases）. The observation group was treated with Tangning Tongluo tablets， and the control group with calcium dobesilate capsules. Both groups were treated for 24 consecutive weeks. The vision， DR progression rate， retinal microhemangioma， hemorrhage area， exudation area， glycosylated hemoglobin （HbA1c） level， and TCM syndrome score were assessed before and after treatment， and the safety was observed. ResultsThe vision changed in both groups after treatment （P<0.05）， and the observation group showed higher best corrected visual acuity （BCVA） than the control group （P<0.05）. The DR progression was slow with similar rates in the two groups. The fundus hemorrhage area and exudation area did not change significantly after treatment in both groups， while the observation group outperformed the control group in reducing the fundus hemorrhage area and exudation area. There was no significant difference in the number of microhemangiomas between the two groups before treatment. After treatment， the number of microhemangiomas decreased in both the observation group （Z=-1.437， P<0.05） and the control group （Z=-2.238， P<0.05）， and it showed no significant difference between the two groups. As the treatment time prolonged， the number of microhemangiomas gradually decreased in both groups. There was no significant difference in the HbA1c level between the two groups before treatment. After treatment， the decline in the HbA1c level showed no significant difference between the two groups. The TCM syndrome score did not have a statistically significant difference between the two groups before treatment. After treatment， neither the TCM syndrome score nor the response rate had significant difference between the two groups. With the extension of the treatment time， both groups showed amelioration of TCM syndrome compared with the baseline. ConclusionTangning Tongluo tablets are safe and effective in the treatment of nonproliferative DR， being capable of improving vision and reducing hemorrhage and exudation in the fundus.

HDAC7, a member of class IIa HDACs, plays a pivotal regulatory role in tumor, immune, fibrosis, and angiogenesis, rendering it a potential therapeutic target. Nevertheless, due to the high similarity in the enzyme active sites of class IIa HDACs, inhibitors encounter challenges in discerning differences among them. Furthermore, the substitution of key residue in the active pocket of class IIa HDACs renders them pseudo-enzymes, leading to a limited impact of enzymatic inhibitors on their function. In this study, proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) technology was employed to develop HDAC7 drugs. We developed an exceedingly selective HDAC7 PROTAC degrader B14 which showcased superior inhibitory effects on cell proliferation compared to TMP269 in various diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. Subsequent investigations unveiled that B14 disrupts BCL6 forming a transcriptional inhibition complex by degrading HDAC7, thereby exerting proliferative inhibition in DLBCL. Our study broadened the understanding of the non-enzymatic functions of HDAC7 and underscored the importance of HDAC7 in the treatment of hematologic malignancies, particularly in DLBCL and AML.

Objective:To analyze the current status, identify existing issues, and explore countermeasures for the development of " Six-Good" retirement Party branches in medical institutions and scientific research institutes.Methods:In August 2024, ten medical and research institutions were selected. Focusing on the current status and existing issues in Party branch building for retired personnel, questionnaire surveys were conducted among staff members of the Party office and the retired cadres department, as well as retired Party members. Experts in the field of Party building were selected for semi-structured interviews. Core themes were then extracted through content analysis.Results:The questionnaire survey included a total of 399 survey respondents, comprising 112 staff members from the Party office and the retired cadres department, as well as 287 retired Party members. 212 (53.1%) of the respondents belonged to Party branches with over 50 members, 280 (70.2%) of the respondents expressed a preference for establishing Party branches based on similar business functions or former departments prior to retirement. 373 (93.5%) of the respondents believed Party branch committee members were adequately appointed. 33.7% (127/377) of the respondents perceived ideological fluctuations among retirement Party members. 175 (43.9%) of the respondents indicated that learning content was insufficiently diverse. Through interviews with 15 experts, it was found that the construction of retired party branches was faced with issues such as low participation in offline organizational life, insufficient effectiveness in the education and management of party members, limited role play of party members, and prominent service and support pressures. In response, the experts proposed specific suggestions such as innovating organizational forms, strengthening the effectiveness of education and management, and building platforms for role play.Conclusions:The " Six-Good" Party branch building for retired personnel of the medical and scientific research institutions had achieved certain results, but there were also some problems. It is necessary to further optimize organizational settings, strengthen the branch leadership, innovate learning forms, build a platform for role play, strictly implement various systems, and strengthen assistance to difficult party members.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological and clinical features of infectious diseases of the central nervous system (CNS).Methods:A cross-sectional study and analysis were conducted to summarize the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of 9 918 patients with CNS infectious diseases, who were diagnosed and treated at 29 hospitals across China from January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2020. Data collected included demographic data, clinical manifestations, health economic indicators, and prognostic outcomes.Results:Among the 9 918 collected cases of CNS infectious diseases, 5 559 were male (56.0%) and 4 359 were female (44.0%), with an onset age of 38 (25, 53) years. Education level: slightly more junior high school education (2 651 cases, 26.7%), and less elementary school education and below (2 181 cases, 22.0%) were found. Occupational distribution: farmers were found predominant (3 215 cases, 32.4%), followed by workers (1 826 cases, 18.4%) and students (1 633 cases, 16.5%). Clinical manifestations: headache (6 074 cases, 61.2%), fever (5 869 cases, 59.2%) and positive meningeal irritation signs (2 273 cases, 22.9%) were the 3 most common clinical manifestations, followed by nausea and (or) vomiting (2 095 cases, 21.1%), impaired consciousness (2 077 cases, 20.9%), psychiatric symptom (1 866 cases, 18.8%) and epilepsy (1 627 cases, 16.4%), etc., and cranial nerve involvement was found in 669 cases (6.7%). Major pathogens included viruses in 6 814 cases (68.7%), Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 1 677 cases (16.9%), common bacteria in 864 cases (8.7%), fungi in 254 cases (2.6%), spirochetes of syphilis in 183 cases (1.8%), parasites in 121 cases (1.2%), and rickettsiae in 5 cases (0.1%). Urban-rural distribution: slightly more cases were found in the countryside (5 418 cases, 54.6%) than in the towns (4 500 cases, 45.4%). Distribution of onset by season: 2 412 cases (24.3%) fell ill in spring, 2 835 cases (28.6%) in summer, 2 187 cases (22.1%) in fall, and 2 484 cases (25.0%) in winter. Health economics: the duration of hospitalization was 15 (8, 27) days, and the cost of hospitalization was 1.53 (0.91, 3.02)×10 000 yuan. Prognosis: 9 531 cases (96.1%) were cured or improved, and 92 cases (0.9%) died. Conclusions:The pathogens responsible for CNS infectious diseases are predominantly viruses. Although the incidence is slightly higher during the summer months, the overall seasonal pattern is not particularly pronounced. These infections are more commonly observed in young and middle-aged males and present with a diverse range of clinical manifestations, contributing to a significant disease burden.

BACKGROUND:Epigenetics,as an important regulation mode of gene expression network,has been proved to play an important role in the occurrence and development of aortic aneurysm mediated by vascular smooth muscle cell remodeling. OBJECTIVE:To review the epigenetic regulation mechanism underlying vascular smooth muscle cell remodeling during the occurrence and progression of aortic aneurysm. METHODS:Related articles published from 1970 to 2022 were retrieved from PubMed,Web of Science and CNKI databases.The keywords were"Aortic aneurysm,Vascular smooth muscle,Smooth muscle cells,Epigenetic,DNA methylation,Histone modification,Non coding RNA"in English and Chinese.Ultimately,we included 71 articles for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Epigenetic modification can influence the occurrence and progression of aortic aneurysm by targeting vascular smooth muscle cell remodeling and extracellular matrix degradation.Targeted epigenetic modification can play a key role in aortic aneurysm treatment,delaying the disease and improving the prognosis.Epigenetic related enzymes,such as DNA methylesterases and histone-modifying enzymes,can influence the progression of aortic aneurysm by regulating vascular smooth muscle cell remodeling,including cell proliferation,migration and apoptosis,and can be used as targets for drug therapy.The research of epigenetic modification on aortic aneurysm is still in the basic research stage and some epigenetic modification mechanisms have not yet been explored.With the development of medical research,targeted epigenetic modification is expected to achieve new breakthroughs in the treatment of aortic aneurysm and clinical transformation.
