Objective:
To analyze the current situation, influencing factors and mechanism of knowledge-attitude-practice(KAP) regarding acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS)/sexually transmitted diseases(STDs) among migrant workers in Chengdu's main urban area, so as to provide a basis for the development of effective prevention and control policies for this group.
Methods:
Convenience sampling and systematic sampling were used to collect demographic information and data on knowledge, attitudes, and sexual behavior characteristics of AIDS/STDs of the participants. The collected data were organized and statistically analyzed by EpiData 3.1 and SPSS 26.0 software. Additionally, a KAP path analysis model was constructed by using AMOS 24.0 software.
Results:
A total of 257 valid questionnaires were obtained. The AIDS awareness rate was 55.6%, with a mean scores of(5.59±1.61). The awareness rate of STDs was 37.4%, with a mean scores of(9.05±3.00). Discrimination attitudes towards AIDS and STDs were reported by 58 participants(22.6%) and 44 participants(17.1%) respectively. The prevalence of high-risk sexual behavior was 3.50%. Men(OR=0.500, 95%CI: 0.279-0.897) acted as deterrents to knowledge of AIDS. On the other hand, childlessness facilitated discrimination against AIDS(OR=2.748, 95%CI: 1.385-5.451) and STDs(OR=2.287, 95%CI: 1.084-4.825). There was lower likelihood of engaging in high-risk sexual behavior among migrant workers in Chengdu's main urban area who were older(OR=0.854, 95%CI: 0.785-0.929). The occurrence of high-risk sexual behaviors was influenced both directly and indirectly by attitudes towards AIDS and related knowledge. There was a positive correlation between knowledge about AIDS and STDs and attitudes towards them(r=0.15,0.24, bothP<0.05), as well as between attitudes towards AIDS and attitudes towards STDs(r=0.57,P<0.05). That is, the higher the scores of knowledge, the less likely one was to hold discrimination attitudes. Therefore, increasing the rate of knowledge awareness could reduce discrimination towards AIDS/STDs and the occurrence of high-risk sexual behaviors.
Conclusion
The level of AIDS/STDs knowledge among the migrant workers in Chengdu′s main urban area is concerning. Innovative interventions should be intensified in key areas and populations.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for strengthening the standardized management of off-label drug use in cancer hospitals. METHODS The evaluation system for off-label drug use was established to standardize the application, approval, and filing process for off-label drug use in our hospital. The changes in off-label drug application quantity, proportion, disease category and drug category in our hospital were compared before (October 1st, 2021-September 30th, 2022) and after (October 1st, 2022- September 30th, 2023) the establishment of the evaluation system; drug items supported by high-level evidence screened by pharmacy department were analyzed statistically. RESULTS The number of off-label drug use applications in our hospital had gradually increased, from 306 pieces in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 3 828 pieces in the third quarter of 2023. In the year before the construction of the evaluation system, there were a total of 4 482 applications for off-label drug use, and in the year after the construction of the evaluation system, there were 11 840 applications for off-label drug use. After the construction of the evaluation system, the proportion of unregistered off-label drug use significantly decreased, compared to the same period last year (P<0.05). Among them, there were no unregistered applications for off-label drug use for digestive system tumors, head and neck tumors, and radioactive drugs; lymphoma, breast tumors,urogenital system tumors, cytotoxic drugs and new anti-tumor drugs all had a decrease of over 70% in unregistered off-label drug applications. Twenty-seven off-label drug use items related to 19 drugs supported by high-level evidence were screened by the pharmacy department of our hospital, among which 25 items were drug use beyond indication. CONCLUSIONS The establishment of off-label drug use evaluation system in cancer hospital is helpful to the rational use and refined management of clinical anti-tumor drugs.

Macular diseases usually lead to central vision loss, accompanied by a significant unstable fixation, resulting in disorders of fine vision, reading, and even face recognition, which seriously affect the quality of life of patients.There is no clear and effective treatment to reverse the visual impairment caused by atrophic macular diseases, yet patients with central vision loss secondary to macular diseases commonly adopt a region outside the central macular area as the surrogate fovea for vision, which is named preferred retinal locus (PRL).However, natural PRLs are not optimal in common for low-vision rehabilitation.Therefore, some patients need eccentric fixation training for PRL relocation to achieve better visual rehabilitation.Studies have shown that eccentric fixation training based on biofeedback can stabilize the natural PRL or induce a new PRL to improve low-vision rehabilitation in patients with macular diseases.So far, the development and location characteristics of PRL and the clinical applications and efficacy of training remain controversial.This review concludes the concept and features of PRL, including the characteristics and possible rationale of PRL development, the location and relocation of PRL, and the evaluation indicators of PRL relocation.Furthermore, in order to provide clinical guidance for low-vision rehabilitation of patients with central vision loss, the programs and efficacy of eccentric fixation training for low-vision rehabilitation are also reviewed.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the diagnosis, treatment and genetic characteristics of a neonate with severe pulmonary hypertension and respiratory failure.
METHODS:
Perinatal history, clinical manifestations, laboratory finding and diagnosis and treatment data of the child were collected. Whole exome sequencing was carried out for the child, and Sanger sequencing was used to verify the candidate variants.
RESULTS:
The female neonate has developed progressive respiratory failure and refractory pulmonary hypertension shortly after birth. Conventional treatment such as mechanical ventilation, vasoactive drugs, and inhaled nitric oxide were ineffective. She has developed sustained pulmonary hypertension after weaning from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy, and had died after the treatment had ceased. Whole exome sequencing revealed that she has harbored a heterozygous de novo variant of c.682_683insGCGGCGGC (p.G234Rfs*148) of the FOXF1 gene, which was predicted as pathogenic based on guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), with evidence items of PVS1_Strong+PM2_Supporting+PS2. Based on her clinical manifestations and result of genetic testing, the child was diagnosed with alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of the pulmonary veins (ACD/MPV).
CONCLUSION
Discovery of the c.682_683insGCGGCGGC (p.G234 Rfs*148) variant of the FOXF1 gene has expanded the mutational spectrum of the FOXF1 gene, which has facilitated implementation of specific treatment and provided a basis for clinical diagnosis and genetic counseling.

Objective:To analyze relationship between 13q14 deletion and prognosis in initial-treatment patients with multiple myeloma (MM).Methods:The follow-up data of 121 patients with newly diagnosed MM admitted to the First People's Hospital of Xiangtan City from January 2012 to December 2016 were collected and divided into deletion group ( n=39) and non deletion group ( n=82) according to the deletion of 13q14.The prognosis situations were compared among patients with different 13q14 deletion. Univariate analysis was performed for 3-year overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) in patients with MM. Results:As of the follow-up time, the 3-year OS rate, 3-year OS, 3-year PFS rate, 3-year PFS and median PFS were 71.90%(87/121), 5.8-36 months, 47.93%(58/121), 2.3-36 months and 34.8 months, respectively. The age, hypoproteinemia, high lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) and 13q14 deletion were independent influencing factors of OS ( P<0.05). The age, high LDH and 13q14 deletion were independent influencing factors of PFS ( P<0.05). The 3-year OS rate and 3-year PFS rate in 13q14 deletion group were 61.54%(24/39) and 25.64%(10/39), lower than those in non-deletion group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The short-term prognosis is poor in initial-treatment MM patients with 13q14 deletion. Conducting risk stratified treatment for patients based on common influencing factors of OS and PFS is conducive to improving their prognosis.

Objective To study the clinical effects of continuous blood purification (CBP) in the treatment of newborns with severe sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Method From May 2013 to November 2018, the clinical data of infants with severe sepsis and MODS receiving CBP in the neonatal department of our hospital were retrospectively analysed. Changes of blood pressure, arterial partial pressure of oxygen/inhaled oxygen concentration (PaO2/FiO2), pH, serum potassium, sodium, urea nitrogen, creatinine, urine volume and maintenance dose of adrenaline at different time points before and after CBP were analysed. Result According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 8 newborns with sepsis and MODS were enrolled in the study. One patient had the complication of perforated colon, and the other one had acute renal failure. The number of affected organs in these infants was 3~5. Six cases began CBP treatment within 1~5 days after admission, and the other two cases began CBP treatment on the 38th and 47th days after admission. The average treatment duration was (58.6±25.9) h. The effective rate of CBP in the treatment of severe sepsis with MODS was 75.0%(6/8). Blood pressure was increased at 6 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h after treatment and at the end of treatment. PaO2/FiO2 and blood pH were increased. The urine volume was increased at 24 h and 48 h after treatment and at the end of treatment (P<0.05). Serum potassium, urea nitrogen and creatinine were significantly decreased (P<0.05). The maintenance dose of adrenaline was also decreased significantly at 12 h after CBP (P<0.05), and withdrawn at 48 h after treatment. Only one case experienced membrane blockage during CBP. Dialysis was continued after the replacement of filtration membrane. No other complications existed. Conclusion CBP is effective in the treatment of neonatal severe sepsis with MODS. It can improve the circulation and renal function.

Objective To study the expression of intestinal intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP) and its clinical significance in an experimental model of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in neonatal rats. Method Twenty-four neonatal Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly assigned into 4 groups at 48 h after birth (6 rats in each group):group A (control group), group B (NEC group-1), group C (NEC group-2), and group D (NEC group-3). The neonatal rats were fed by the mother rats in the same cage within 48 h after birth. After 48 h, the NEC group received artificial feeding, hypoxia, cold stimulation and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) gavage (10 mg/kg). NEC group-1, 2 and 3 were sacrificed on an empty stomach at 1, 2 and 3 d after the modeling. The control group was sacrificed on an empty stomach 3 d after the modeling without special treatment. Intestinal tissue were obtained from each rats. The histological changes of ileal tissues were studied using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The expressions of intestinal I-FABP were detected using RT-PCR and ELISA methods. Result Compared with the control group, body weight of rats in NEC group-1, 2 and 3 were lower, and pathology scores in these three groups were higher (P<0.05). The levels of intestinal I-FABP mRNA in NEC group-1, NEC group-2 and NEC group-3 were 2.69±0.27, 2.12±0.09, 3.18± 0.22, respectively. The protein expression levels were 363.7 ± 11.4, 321.7 ± 45.8, 432.3 ± 50.3, respectively. The mRNA and protein levels were all significantly higher than the control group (mRNA: 1.00 ± 0.02, protein: 134.2 ± 24.0, P<0.05). Conclusion I-FABP was a useful marker for ischemic injury to the intestine. These findings may contribute to a better diagnosis of NEC in newborns.
