Objective:
To explore the effectiveness of a comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) curriculum on university students hostile and benevolent sexism, so as to provide a reference for evaluating the effects of CSE on reducing ambivalent sexism.
Methods:
From September 2018 to January 2019, 165 university students from a university in Beijing were recruited using convenience sampling for a 5 month of CSE curriculum (36 sessions, 2 sessions per week, 45 min per session), including CSE and gender studies, sexual physiology and health, gender and gender roles, gender bias, intimate relationships and gender bias, gender based violence and gender bias, culture and gender bias, and gender and power. Students who took CSE curriculum were included in the intervention group ( n =97) and students from the same university who had not taken CSE curriculum were included in the control group ( n =68). Using the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory, both groups of university students were surveyed before and after the curriculum to analyze the effectiveness of the CSE curriculum. Chi -square test, ANOVA,cluster analysis and Kruskal Wallis test were used for statistical analysis.
Results:
After the CSE curriculum, both hostile and benevolent sexism scores were lower in the intervention group (2.21±0.76, 2.36±0.68) than in the control group (2.81±0.61, 3.03±0.60) ( F =17.24, 33.26), and pre test scores were higher in the intervention group (2.64±0.67, 2.88±0.68) ( F =45.62, 66.93) ( P <0.01). On both hostile and benevolent sexism, female students scores (2.46±0.72, 2.65±0.70) were lower than male students scores (2.86±0.59, 3.09± 0.69 ) ( F=11.02, 14.20, P <0.01). Comparison of the curriculum effectiveness of hostile and benevolent sexism among clustered groups showed that the difference in hostile sexism scores was higher in the inconsistent type [0.63(0.25, 1.25)]than in the more consistent type [0.38(-0.16, 0.88)] and the lower consistent type [0.38(0.06, 0.63)] ( H=8.71, P <0.05); and the difference in benevolent sexism scores was higher in the more consistent type [0.75(0.53, 1.22)] than in the less consistent type [0.38(0.09, 0.88 )] and inconsistent type [0.38(-0.13,0.63)] ( H=10.82, P <0.05).
Conclusions
CSE can improve hostile and benevolent sexism in university students with sex and type differences. Attention should be paid to CSE curriculum to improve ambivalent sexism among university students with a view to fostering their awareness of gender equality.

Objective:To explore the potential mechanism of PD-1 inhibitor P on RIMI from the perspective of immune microenvironment.Methods:To establish a mouse model of radiation-induced myocardial injury (RIMI), twenty C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 4 groups, 5 in each group. Group A was the healthy control group; Group B was the PD-1 inhibitor group; Group C was the simple irradiation group, with a heart irradiation of 15 Gy; Group D was the irradiation+ PD-1 inhibitor group. One month after irradiation, the mice were anesthetized and sacrificed. The morphological changes of myocardial tissues were observed by HE staining. The myocardial fibrosis was assessed by Masson staining. CD 3+ , CD 3+ CD 4+ , CD 3+ CD 8 lymphocyte subsets and cytokines (IL-4, IL-6, IL-17A, TNF-α, TGF-β 1 and INF-γ) levels were determined by flow cytometry. The apoptosis rate of myocardial cells was detected by TUNE. Results:One month after irradiation, there was no obvious myocardial fibrosis in group B, and collagen fibers were distributed in the interstitium of myocardial cells in groups C and D. Semi-quantitative analysis results showed that the myocardial collagen volume fraction (CVF) of groups A, B, C and D were (1.97±0.36)%, (2.83±1.03)%, (5.39±0.77)% and (7.72±1.43)%, respectively. The CVF between group A and group B was similar ( P=0.314), and the differences in CVF between the other groups were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Compared with group A, the absolute value and percentage of CD 3+ T lymphocytes were significantly increased in groups B, C and D (all P<0.01). The values in group D were significantly higher than those in group B and group C (all P<0.01); The absolute value and percentage of CD 3+ CD4 T lymphocytes were similar among four groups (all P>0.05); The absolute value and percentage of CD 3+ CD 8 T lymphocytes in group D were significantly higher than those in groups A, B and C (all P<0.001). The expression levels of IL-6, IL-17A, and TGF-β 1 in group D were significantly higher compared with those in groups A, B and C (all P<0.001). The apoptotic index was gradually increased in four groups, and the differences in apoptotic index among four groups were statistically significant (all P<0.001). Conclusion:PD-1 inhibitors can aggravate RIMI by promoting myocardial immune inflammatory response.

Objective:To analyze common respiratory pathogens epidemiology in hospitalized children with lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in a single center in Shanghai, and to provide the basic data support for clinical diagnosis and treatment of children with LRTI in Shanghai.Methods:Children with LRTI in Children′s Hospital of Fudan University were enrolled from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2019, and respiratory samples were collected and tested by direct immunofluorescence assay and real time polymerase chain reaction. The epidemiological characteristics of different respiratory pathogens were analyzed. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.Results:A total of 18 716 children were included, the total detection rate of respiratory pathogens was 36.96% (6 918/18 716), and the most frequent detected pathogen was Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) (15.31%(2 866/18 716)), followed by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) (10.40%(1 946/18 716)) and parainfluenza virus Ⅲ (PIV-Ⅲ) (4.65%(871/18 716)). The detection rate of pathogens in female was significantly higher than that in male (38.48%(2 936/7 630) vs 35.92%(3 982/11 086), χ2=12.72, P<0.001). RSV and influenza virus A (Flu-A) infections peaked in winter. The detection rates of influenza virus B (Flu-B) and human metapneumovirus (MPV) were higher in winter and spring. PIV-Ⅲ infection peaked in spring and summer. The peak of PIV-Ⅱ infection occurred in summer and autumn. The infections of adenovirus (ADV), MP, Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and PIV-Ⅰ were prevalent throughout the year without significant seasonality. The detection rate of RSV declined with age, while the detection rate of MP increased with age. The co-infection rate was 1.65%(309/18 716), and the predominant co-infection type was MP and RSV (0.37%(70/18 716)). Conclusions:A variety of pathogens lead to children′s LRTI in Shanghai from 2015 to 2019, with the common infection of MP, RSV and PIV-Ⅲ. Different pathogens showed different epidemiological characteristics in age and season distributions.

Background:
Chronic exposure to elevated levels of saturated fatty acids results in pancreatic β-cell senescence. However, targets and effective agents for preventing stearic acid-induced β-cell senescence are still lacking. Although melatonin administration can protect β-cells against lipotoxicity through anti-senescence processes, the precise underlying mechanisms still need to be explored. Therefore, we investigated the anti-senescence effect of melatonin on stearic acid-treated mouse β-cells and elucidated the possible role of microRNAs in this process.
Methods:
β-Cell senescence was identified by measuring the expression of senescence-related genes and senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining. Gain- and loss-of-function approaches were used to investigate the involvement of microRNAs in stearic acid-evoked β-cell senescence and dysfunction. Bioinformatics analyses and luciferase reporter activity assays were applied to predict the direct targets of microRNAs.
Results:
Long-term exposure to a high concentration of stearic acid-induced senescence and upregulated miR-146a-5p and miR- 8114 expression in both mouse islets and β-TC6 cell lines. Melatonin effectively suppressed this process and reduced the levels of these two miRNAs. A remarkable reversibility of stearic acid-induced β-cell senescence and dysfunction was observed after silencing miR-146a-5p and miR-8114. Moreover, V-maf musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene homolog A (Mafa) was verified as a direct target of miR-146a-5p and miR-8114. Melatonin also significantly ameliorated senescence and dysfunction in miR-146a-5pand miR-8114-transfected β-cells.
Conclusion
These data demonstrate that melatonin protects against stearic acid-induced β-cell senescence by inhibiting miR-146a- 5p and miR-8114 and upregulating Mafa expression. This not only provides novel targets for preventing stearic acid-induced β-cell dysfunction, but also points to melatonin as a promising drug to combat type 2 diabetes progression.

Objective:To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of classic human astrovirus (HAstV) among children under five years old with acute diarrhea, and to understand the role of HAstV in children acute diarrhea.Methods:A total of 1 010 fecal specimens were collected in 1 010 outpatients under five years old with acute diarrhea admitted to Children′s Hospital of Fudan University, Shanghai from January 2012 to December 2016. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or PCR was used for screening classic HAstV, group A rotavirus, norovirus and adenovirus. Genotypes of classic HAstV were determined by nucleotide sequencing and phylogenetic tree analysis.Results:The overall positive rate of classic HAstV was 2.7%(27/1 010). The detection rates of classic HAstV from 2012 to 2016 were 6.9%(10/144), 3.5%(5/144), 2.1%(3/144), 1.5%(4/265) and 1.6%(5/313), respectively. Almost 96.3%(26/27) of children infected with HAstV were 0 to 36 months of age. The prevalence of classic HAstV infections displayed a typical autumn/winter seasonality except in 2016. All the positive classic HAstV strains were genotyped as HAstV-1 with two lineages of HAstV-1a and HAstV-1b. Among them, the lineage of HAstV-1a was the predominant subtype (63.0%, 17/27). There were 77.8%(21/27) of the children with acute diarrhea only infected with classic HAstV, whereas for the remaining cases a variety of other enteric viruses were detected (three cases co-infected with HAstV and group A rotavirus, two cases co-infected with HAstV and adenovirus, and one case co-infected with HAstV, group A rotavirus and adenovirus).Conclusions:Children infected with HAstV are mainly less than 36 months of age. Although the genotype of classic HAstV detected in this study is single, but the lineages are in a state of dynamic change. Long-time and continuous monitor for the epidemiology of classic HAstV is needed to avoid outbreak of diarrhea in children.

Objective:
To understand junior high school students’ sexual knowledge, sexual attitudes, sexual behaviors,as well as acess to sexual knowledge and related influencing factors, so as to provide reference for the practice of sexuality education.
Methods:
Using stratified cluster sampling method, 7 341 junior high school students were selected from Anhui, Fujian, Gansu, Guangxi, Henan, Xinjiang, Yunnan, Zhejiang and Beijing, and self-compiled questionnaires were used.
Results:
Junior high school students scored (61.71±18.79) in sexual knowledge, with pass rate and excellent rate being 59.02% and 18.53%. The attitudes towards LGBT was (65.44±20.01), the attitudes towards sexual and healthy behaviors was (67.04±49.23), and the attitudes towards sexual relations and behaviors was (70.75±10.46). Students had intimacy needs and sexual behaviors (18.70%), and some had such behaviors as kissing (13.80%), touching sensitive parts (6.70%) and sexual intercourse (2.20%). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that students’ sexual knowledge was related to region, grade and school-based sexuality education (OR=2.11,P<0.05).
Conclusion
Junior high school students have sexual needs and behaviors, but their sexual knowledge is not sufficient; there are differences in sexual knowledge and attitudes of junior high school students across region,grade and gender; schools should promote school-based sexuality education for junior high school students’ sexual health.
