Objective: To explore the potential category patterns of risk prevention and control behaviors of HIV infection among young students who have sex with men (MSM) and their impact on HIV infection and late detection, aiming to optimize intervention strategies. Methods: From September 2017 to December 2024, a total of 1 637 MSM young students in Tianjin were recruited through both online and offline channels. Latent class analysis was applied to classify 11 HIV risk prevention and control behaviors [condom use during the most recent anal sex in the past 6 months, consistent condom use, use of water based lubricants, abstinence from recreational drugs, regular on site professional testing, fixed sexual partners, partner testing, awareness of partner s HIV testing results, testing before sexual activity, nucleic acid testing, and use of pre exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) or post exposure prophylaxis (PEP)]. Multivariate Logistic regression analyzed associations between demographic characteristics/intervention services factors and latent classes. Differences in HIV infection and late detection across behavior patterns were compared. Results: HIV risk prevention and control behaviors among MSM students were classified into three latent classes:condom dependent group (38.42%), low prevention group (27.73%), and comprehensive prevention group (33.85%). Students who received condom promotion/testing services were more likely to belong to the comprehensive prevention group ( OR =5.58), while those who received peer education were less likely to the comprehensive prevention group ( OR =0.43) (both P <0.01). Among the MSM student population, the HIV infection rate was 4.83%, with 2.26% of cases detected late. The HIV infection rate (1.45%) and late detection proportion (0.82%) in the comprehensive prevention group were lower than those in the low prevention group (7.89% and 3.83%, respectively) ( χ 2=16.20, 7.31, both P <0.01). Conclusions HIV risk prevention and control behaviors among MSM young students exhibit significant heterogeneity. Comprehensive prevention strategies can effectively reduce HIV infection and late detection risks. It is necessary to optimize peer education content and improve the accessibility of diversified prevention measures such as PrEP/PEP to enhance HIV prevention and control.

Entinostat plus exemestane in hormone receptor-positive (HR+) advanced breast cancer (ABC) previously showed encouraging outcomes. This multicenter phase 3 trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of entinostat plus exemestane in Chinese patients with HR + ABC that relapsed/progressed after ≥1 endocrine therapy. Patients were randomized (2:1) to oral exemestane 25 mg/day plus entinostat (n = 235) or placebo (n = 119) 5 mg/week in 28-day cycles. The primary endpoint was the independent radiographic committee (IRC)-assessed progression-free survival (PFS). The median age was 52 (range, 28-75) years and 222 (62.7%) patients were postmenopausal. CDK4/6 inhibitors and fulvestrant were previously used in 23 (6.5%) and 92 (26.0%) patients, respectively. The baseline characteristics were comparable between the entinostat and placebo groups. The median PFS was 6.32 (95% CI, 5.30-9.11) and 3.72 (95% CI, 1.91-5.49) months in the entinostat and placebo groups (HR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.58-0.98; P = 0.046), respectively. Grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) occurred in 154 (65.5%) patients in the entinostat group versus 23 (19.3%) in the placebo group, and the most common grade ≥3 treatment-related AEs were neutropenia [103 (43.8%)], thrombocytopenia [20 (8.5%)], and leucopenia [15 (6.4%)]. Entinostat plus exemestane significantly improved PFS compared with exemestane, with generally manageable toxicities in HR + ABC (ClinicalTrials.gov #NCT03538171).

Objective To understand the infection status and molecular characteristics of Campylobacter, and to provide evidence for the prevention and control of Campylobacter infection. Methods A total of 382 stool samples from diarrhea patients in a sentinel hospital in Changping District, Beijing, were collected in 2019. Campylobacter, Salmonella, Diarrhea Escherichia coli, and Vibrio Parahaemolyticus were detected, and the isolated Campylobacter jejuni strains were analyzed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Results The positive detection rate of Campylobacter (58 strains, 15.18%) was higher than that of Diarrhea Escherichia coli (37 strains, 9.69%), Salmonella (24 strains, 6.28%) and Vibrio Parahaemolyticus (21 strains, 5.50%), and the difference was statistically significant (χ²=26.735, P=0.000). Campylobacter strains were found in spring (14.71%), summer (18.33%), autumn (15.00%) and winter (10.00%), but there was no significant difference (χ²=2.197, P=0.533). PFGE analysis showed that 30 strains of Campylobacter jejuni had 26 PFGE patterns, and the similarity coefficient was 31.00% -100.00%. Conclusion In the study, the detection rate of Campylobacter is in the first place, and it is detected in four seasons, indicating that the infection of Campylobacter is serious in Changping District of Beijing. It is necessary to pay more attention to the infection of Campylobacter and formulate corresponding policies to prevent the outbreak caused by Campylobacter infection..

Objective    To explore the mechanism of volume-related mitral regurgitation (MR) from the anatomy of mitral valve. Methods    A total of 32 patients with ventricular septal defect (VSD) combined MR meeting inclusion criteria in West China Hospital from September 2018 to November 2019 were enrolled in this study. The direction relative to the cardiac axis: the deviation of the MR bundle along the left atrial wall was eccentric, otherwises it was central. There were 23 patients of VSD and eccentric MR (EMR, a VSD-EMR group), including 10 males and 13 females aged 21 (10, 56) months, and 9 patients of VSD and central MR (CMR, a VSD-CMR group), including 4 males and 5 females aged 26 (12, 87) months. Besides, 9 healthy children were enrolled in a control group, including 4 males and 5 females aged 49 (15, 72) months. All patients underwent transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) examination at 2 weeks before surgery and 6 months after surgery, respectively, The MR degree, end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), stroke volume (SV), ejection fraction (EF), antero-posterior diameter (AP), annulus circumference (AC), commissural diameter (CD) were assessed. Results    Before operation, EDV, ESV, SV, AP, AC and CD in the VSD-EMR and VSD-CMR groups were significantly larger or longer than those in the control group (P<0.05); after operation, EDV, ESV, SV, AP and CD decreased compared with those before operation (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference compared with the control group (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, AC was slightly decreased (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in EF between and within groups before and after operation (P>0.05). The improvement rate of MR was 78.9%(15/19) in the VSD-EMR group and 100.0% (9/9) in the VSD-CMR group. Conclusion    After unloading of volume, the valve structure is back to normal except AC. The improvement rate of MR in the VSD-EMR group is lower than that in the VSD-CMR group, which may indicate that the mechanism of VSD-EMR is more complicated.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of using pegylated recombinant human granulocyte-colonystimulating factor (PEG-rhG-CSF) in preventing neutropenia in multiple chemotherapy cycles. Methods: A multicenter, prospective, open-label, singlearmstudy was designed. Patients with malignant tumors, such as lung, ovarian, and colorectal cancers, who received multiple cycles of chemotherapy with the prophylactic use of PEG-rhG-CSF for 2-4 consecutive cycles participated in the study. Results: After the prophylactic use of PEG-rhG-CSF, the incidence of grade IV neutropenia decreased from 4.76% (13/273) in the first cycle to 1.83% (5/273), 1.15% (2/174), and 2.08% (2/96) in subsequent cycles. Meanwhile, the incidence of grade III neutropenia decreased from 11.36% (31/ 273) in the first cycle to 6.23% (17/273), 2.87% (5/174), and 3.13% (3/96) in subsequent cycles. The incidence of febrile neutropenia (FN) during the first cycle was 0.73% (2/273). The duration of FN was 2 days in one case and 5 days in another case. FN was not observed during the second, third, or fourth cycle. After the secondary prophylactic use of PEG-rhG-CSF, the incidence of grade IV neutropenia decreased from 25% (7/28) to 3.57% (1/28), 0% (0/28), and 6.67% (1/15) in subsequent cycles. Meanwhile, the incidence of grade III neutropenia decreased from 71.43% (20/28) to 10.71% (3/28), 14.29% (4/28), and 0% (0/15) in subsequent cycles. The proportion of patients who received antibiotic therapy during the entire chemotherapy period was 10.48% (44/420). Conclusion: The application of PEG-rhG-CSF once per chemotherapy cycle can effectively reduce the occurrence of neutropenia in patients under multiple cycles of chemotherapy treatment with good safety.

OBJECTIVETo explore the molecular mechanism for a case with para-Bombay phenotype caused by α-1,2-fucosyltransferase (FUT1) gene mutations.

METHODSBlood phenotype of the propositus was determined by standard serological testing. Polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primer (PCR-SSP) and direct sequencing of PCR product were used to analyze its ABO genotype. The PCR product of FUT1 gene was sequenced and analyzed.

RESULTSThe phenotype of the propositus was initially detected as para-Bombay A type. Direct sequencing of ABO gene showed that the genotype of the proband was A101/O01 (261G/del), which was consistent with the result of PCR-SSP. Two homo-mutations, 35C>T and 658C>T, were detected in the FUT1 gene by sequencing, and the genotype was determined as h(35T+658T)/h(35T+658T).

CONCLUSIONh(35T+658T)/h(35T+658T) is responsible for the para-Bombay phenotype of the propositus. The genotype is rare even in para-Bombay populations.

Objective To study the effects of case-based learning (CBL) teaching method combined with network on orthodontic postgraduate clinical ability training. Methods Totally 40 ortho-dontic postgraduates were randomly divided into 2 groups (20 per group) named as experimental group (EG) and control group(CG). EG involved in CBL combined with network teaching method,while CG with CBL method only. after 5 teaching cycles,test scores of two groups were analyzed with SPSS 22.0. Results Average scores were (86.60 ±9.71) in EG and (85.45 ±10.79) in CG ,without statistical differences (P=0.73). Pass rate of two groups were 95.00% and 90.00% ,without statistical differences (P=1.00); As for the questionnaire survey, most of the students (90.00%) in EG considered CBL com-bined with network teaching method had no confliction with the clinical time,and helped to carry out in-depth clinical topic discussion. What was more,all of them (100.00%) in EG believed network facilitate their learning. Only part of them (60.00%) in EG thought that they spent a lot of time on reference material preparation. Conclusions Both CBL combined with network teaching method and CBL method can improve the clinical ability of orthodontic postgraduates significantly. However, CBL combined with network teaching method has advantages over time management, knowledge learning and resource sharing.

OBJECTIVETo observe the outcome after sacral canal injection in patients with disc herniation associated with without sciatica.

METHODSFrom December 2010 to June 2011, 65 patients with acute low back pain without sciatica due to lumbar disc herniation or bulging confirmed by CT or MRI were randomly divided into sacral canal injection group (experimental group) and lumbar oblique wrench group (control group): the experimental group had 35 cases, including 30 males and 5 females, with an average age of (43.90 +/- 1.14) years old ranging from 33 to 56 years old. The control group had 30 cases, including 27 males and 3 females,with an average age of (44.00 +/- 1.19) years old ranging from 34 to 57 years old. The course of morbidity was 1 to 3 days. All patients received sacral canal injection or lumbar oblique wrench method. The visual analog scale (VAS) scores before and at 30 min after treatment were compared between two groups.

RESULTSThe symptom of acute low back pain were relieved obviously. The average VAS scores before and after treatment in experimental group were decreased from 6.63 +/- 0.97 to 3.06 +/- 1.51,in control group were from 6.67 +/- 0.96 to 3.93 +/- 1.20 respectively. These two methods could improve the VAS score,but the effect of sacral canal injection group was better than that of lumbar oblique wrench group, there was statistically differences (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONIt is effective that the methods of sacral canal injection and lumbar oblique wrench applied to patients with acute low back pain without sciatica due to lumbar disc herniation or bulging confirmed, the former has better effect.
