Objective:To study the neural mechanism between abnormal brain functional activity and alertness function in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) patients with or without hippocampal sclerosis.Methods:A total of 21 TLE patients with hippocampal sclerosis (TLE-HS), and 18 TLE patients without hippocampal sclerosis (TLE-N) diagnosed in the Department of Neurology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from May 2016 to November 2022 and 28 healthy controls (HC) matched with demographic data were recruited.All the 67 participants completed the attention network test (ANT) and resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) scans. The REST software was used to analyze fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (fALFF) and functional connectivity (FC) based on one-way ANOVA in order to obtain differential brain regions in abnormal spontaneous neuronal activity and functional connectivity among the three groups. The SPSS 26.0 software was used to analyze the correlation between fALFF/FC values in differential brain regions and alertness network efficiency by Pearson correlation analysis.Results:There was a significant difference in the alerting network effect among the three groups ( F=4.621, P=0.013), and the post-hoc analysis showed that the alerting network effect in the TLE-HS group((59.40±22.85)ms)was significantly higher than that in the HC group((38.85±21.08)ms)(Bonferroni correction, P=0.017). The fALFF analysis showed that the fALFF values of the right superior frontal gyrus in the TLE-HS group (0.16±0.52) and the TLE-N group (0.49±0.51) were significantly lower than that in the HC group (1.01±0.46), while the fALFF values of the left precentral gyrus in the TLE-HS group (0.60±0.55) was significantly higher than that in the TLE-N group (-0.19±0.51) and the HC group (-0.15±0.36) (Bonferroni correction, all P<0.05). The functional connectivity analysis revealed that the FC values between the left inferior frontal gyrus and the right superior frontal gyrus in the TLE-HS group (0.11±0.16) and TLE-N group (0.02±0.19) were significantly higher than those in the HC group (-0.18±0.18). The FC values between the right supramarginal gyrus and the right superior frontal gyrus in the TLE-HS group (0.10±0.21) were significantly higher than those in the HC group (-0.18±0.16). The FC values between the left supplementary motor area and the right superior frontal gyrus in the TLE-HS group (0.20±0.21) were significantly higher than those in the TLE-N group (-0.03±0.31) and the HC group (-0.10±0.15) (Bonferroni correction, all P<0.05). The correlation analysis showed that the FC values between the left supplementary motor area and the right superior frontal gyrus in the TLE-HS group were significantly positively correlated with alertness network efficiency ( r=0.436, P=0.048). Conclusions:There are abnormal spontaneous neuronal activity and brain functional connectivity in TLE patients with or without hippocampal sclerosis, and the abnormality is more pronounced in the TLE-HS group. The abnormal brain functional connectivity may play an essential role in alertness dysfunction.

Health communication is the most core element in health education and health promotion.This paper summarizes and analyzes the research in China related to the evaluation of health communication effects through different media.It finds that the current evaluation indicators of communication effects are generally focused on changes in awareness rates.Traditional media and new media,as different types of communication mediums with their own advatages and limitations,do not have unified indicators to scientifically evaluate their communication effects in China,Due to the interdisciplinary nature of health communication,qualitative research methods(such as the Delphi method)have not been fully applied by researchers in the field of public health in China.This paper aims to sort out and compare various effects evaluation indicatorsof health communication with different media from current research through a literature review,and to provide evidences for improving a comprehensive and practical effect evaluation system of health communication in the future.

Objective:To compare the characteristics of MSM with different types of primary sexual partners and to analyze the factors associated with MSM not being tested for HIV in the last six months.Methods:MSM were recruited in nine cities of Shandong Province from April to July 2021, and face-to-face questionnaires were conducted to collect information on sociodemographic characteristics, high-risk behaviors, and HIV testing of MSM. Blood samples were taken for serological tests of HIV and syphilis antibodies.Results:A total of 3 008 men who had anal sex with men in the last six months were divided into three groups according to the type of primary sexual partner in the last six months: the fixed sexual partner group (36.83%, 1 108/3 008), the commercial sexual partner group (3.06%, 92/3 008), and casual sexual partner group (60.11%, 1 808/3 008). There were statistically significant differences in the distribution of age, local residence time, education level, the primary place to find male sexual partners, use of new-type drugs in the last six months, consistent condom use every time during same-sex anal sex in the last six months, group sex in the last six months, no HIV testing in the last six months, having had a sexually transmitted disease in the last year, receiving peer education in the last year, and frequency of syphilis testing in the last year among different groups ( P<0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that related factors of not being tested for HIV in the last six months in MSM were those aged less than 30 years old (a OR=1.39, 95% CI: 1.06-1.83), married/cohabiting (a OR=1.74, 95% CI: 1.39-2.16), high school education or less (a OR=1.39, 95% CI: 1.15-1.67), had not used new-type drugs in the last six months (a OR=2.27, 95% CI: 1.89-2.71), had not received peer education in the last year (a OR=1.59, 95% CI: 1.28-1.98), had never been tested for syphilis (a OR=11.30, 95% CI: 8.15-15.66), had not been tested in the last year but had been previously tested for syphilis (a OR=5.65, 95% CI: 4.19-7.62), the type of primary sexual partner in the last six months being a commercial sexual partner (a OR=1.80, 95% CI: 1.01-3.20), and the type of primary sexual partner in the last six months being a casual sexual partner (a OR=1.50, 95% CI: 1.26-1.80). Conclusions:The characteristics of MSM with different types of primary sexual partners are different, and the proportion of HIV testing still needs to be improved. In the future, we should make full use of the Internet and peer education to expand the coverage of HIV testing for MSM, targeting the characteristics of MSM with different types of primary sexual partners.

【Objective】 To explore the effect of low levels of calcium on the biological characteristics of ameloblasts. 【Methods】 Rat primary ameloblasts were cultured in standard DMEM medium. After five days they were identified by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Then 0, 0.6 and 1.2 mmoL/L Ca²⁺ and 100 mL/L fetal bovine serum were added into DMEM medium without calcium. After 48 hours, the cell morphology was observed by inverted microscope. The proliferation and apoptosis of cells were separately examined by MTT and AnnexinV-PI. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression levels of amelogenin and KLK4 mRNA. 【Results】 After Five days in standard DMEM medium, the cells were shaped like the paving pattern. RT-PCR showed that both amelogenin and KLK4 were expressed in the cells. Immunohistochemical staining showed that most cells had positive staining for amelogenin. After 48 hours of calcium intervention, some cells in 1.2 mmoL/L Ca²⁺ group had higher nuclear density and poor light transmittance, and more high columnar cells could be observed in 1.2 mmoL/L Ca²⁺ group than those in 0 and 0.6 mmoL/L Ca²⁺ groups. With the decrease in calcium concentration in the medium, MTT showed that the proliferation activity of ameloblasts reduced (P<0.01). Annexin V-PI showed that the percentage of apoptotic cells decreased, and there was a significant difference between 1.2 mmoL/L and 0 mmoL/L Ca²⁺ groups (P<0.05). Real time-PCR showed that the expressions of amelogenin and KLK4 mRNA reduced (P<0.01). 【Conclusion】 Low-level calcium may inhibit the differentiation of ameloblasts, thereby affecting the formation of enamel mineralization.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of miR-144 to the biological behavior of multiple myeloma cells and its mechanism. METHODS: RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-144 in multiple myeloma cells and plasma of MM patients. MTT assay was used to detect the proliferation and cloning ability of myeloma cells transfected by miR-144. Flow cytometry was used to detect the cell cycle distribution of myeloma cells with over-expression of miR-144. Apoptosis of myeloma cells with over-expression of miR-144 was detected by TUNEL assay. Transwell cell invasion and migration assay was used to detect the invasion and migration ability of myeloma cells with overexpressing on miR-144.Western blot analysis was used to detect the protein expression levels of MMP-9 and MMP-2 in myeloma cells with over expression of miR-144, as well as the expression levels of proteins related to Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. RESULTS: The expression level of miR-144 in MM cell lines and blood of MM patients was significantly lower than that in control group (P＜0.05). The proliferation, invasion and migration of myeloma cells with over-expression of miR-144 were significantly decreased (P＜0.05), and the apoptosis level was increased (P＜0.05). The expression levels of MMP-9, MMP-2, Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in myeloma cells with over-expression of miR-144 were significantly lower than those in control group (P＜0.05). CONCLUSION MiR-144 can inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of multiple myeloma cells and induce cell apoptosis. The specific mechanism may be related with the activity of inhibiting Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the demographic characteristics, HIV related knowledge and behavior, correlates of bisexual behavior and status of HIV infection among men who have sex with men only (MSMO) and men who have sex with both men and women (MSMW) in Shandong province. Methods: According to the requirements from "National HIV/AIDS sentinel surveillance program" , a cross-sectional survey was conducted to collect information on demographics, sexual and drug use behaviors, and HIV-related services among MSM in nine sentinel surveillance sites from April to July in 2018. Blood samples were drawn for serological tests on both HIV and syphilis antibodies. Results: A total of 3 474 participants were included in this study. Related information on these participants would include: average age as (31.66±9.01) years; 35.06% (1 218) married or cohabiting with a woman, 50.52% (1 755) had college or higher education, 80.11% (2 783) self-identified as gays and 14.22% (494) self-identified as bisexual men,16.87% (586) ever having sex with woman in the past 6 months, 10.51% (365) ever using drugs. HIV and syphilis prevalence rates were 2.99% (104/3 474) and 2.76%(96/3 474). Through multivariable logistic models, MSMW were more likely to be ≥35 years of age, local residents, self-identified as heterosexual/bisexual/uncertain, ever having commercial sex with man but less likely to consistently use condoms in the past 6 months, less using internet/dating software to find male sex partners and less using drugs. There was no significant differences noticed in the following areas: number of sexual partners in the last week, condom use in the last six months with commercial sex partners, with HIV or syphilis infection and self-reported history of STD in the past year between MSMO and MSMW (P>0.05). HIV-infected MSM were more likely to have the following features, ≥45 years of age, non-local residents, finding male sex partners from the bothhouses, park/toilets or from the internet/dating software, also less likely to consistently use condoms in the past 6 months, using drugs or with syphilis infection. Conclusions High prevalence of bisexual behavior as well as higher risk of HIV infection were noticed among MSM in Shandong province. It is important to strengthen related surveillance and effective intervention programs for MSM with different characteristics in Shandong province.
