Objective:To evaluate the effect of comprehensive intervention model based on key persons in entertainment venues on the incidence of AIDS-related high-risk behaviors in male sex workers (MSW). Data from this study thus can be used to provide compelling evidence for the wider implementation of the intervention model.Methods:In this randomized controlled trial, MSW were recruited and followed-up from May to December, 2021 in entertainment venues in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, with an estimated sample size of 320. The MSW in the intervention group were provided with comprehensive interventions via key persons in entertainment venues compared with the control group receiving routine interventions. The effect of the intervention model was assessed by comparing the behavioral differences between these two groups and in the intervention group before and after intervention.Results:A total of 330 MSW were recruited at baseline survey, in which 168 were divided into intervention group and 162 into control group. There was no significant difference in socio-demographic characteristics between two groups (all P>0.05). After intervention for 6 months, the rate of consistent condom use in commercial homosexual activities in the intervention group was 79.5% (101/127), higher than 63.2% (74/117) in the control group, and in the intervention group, 90.1% (73/81) of MSW used condom consistently in heterosexual activities, higher than in the control group (59.6%, 59/99) . Compared with 30.8% (36/117) of MSW with drug abuse history in the control group, a lower proportion of 9.4% (12/127) was observed in the intervention group. Differences in all of aforementioned variables were significant (all P<0.05). After intervention, the incidence of group sex was 3.9% (5/127) in the intervention group and 9.4% (11/117) in the control group, the incidence of anal sex post-alcohol consumption was 40.2% (51/127) in the intervention group and 32.5% (38/117) in control group, the differences were not significant (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The intervention model based on key persons in entertainment venues could promote consistent condom use in MSW in both commercial homosexual and heterosexual activities and help them reduce drug abuse, but had no significant effect on decreasing group sex and anal sex after alcohol consumption. It is crucial to improve the intervention model according to the specific characteristics of MSW in order to enhance the effects of comprehensive intervention.

Chromosome microarray analysis (CMA) has become the first-tier testing for chromosomal abnormalities and copy number variations (CNV). This review described the clinical validation of CMA, the development and updating of technical standards and guidelines and their diagnostic impacts. The main focuses were on the development and updating of expert consensus, practice resources, and a series of technical standards and guidelines through systematic review of case series with CMA application in the literature. Expert consensus and practice resource supported the use of CMA as the first-tier testing for detecting chromosomal abnormalities and CNV in developmental and intellectual disabilities, multiple congenital anomalies and autism. The standards and guidelines have been applied to pre- and postnatal testing for constitutional CNV and tumor testing for acquired CNV. CMA has significantly improved the diagnostic yields but still needs to overcome its technical limitations and face challenges of new technologies. Guiding and governing CMA through expert consensus, practice resource, standards and guidelines in the United States has provided effective and safe diagnostic services to patients and their families, reliable diagnosis on related genetic diseases for clinical database and basic research, and references for clinical translation of new technologies.

December 22, 2018, a pair of female baby twins aged 2 years with severe burns at the same time were transferred from the primary hospital to the People′s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region on day 17 post burn. Physical examination on admission showed that both of them had severe burns on head, face, left upper limb, foot, etc. The blood preparations were difficult for them due to their rare blood types, with the elder sister of type B blood combined with Rh D mutant and the younger sister of type B combined with Rh negative blood. The total area of burn of the younger sister was 15% total body surface area (TBSA), with full-thickness burns with tendon and bone exposure in left ear and most of the ear auricle fallen off. The younger sister was treated with anti-infection, anti-shock by fluid infusion, and nutritional support. Split-thickness skin graft on left thigh was harvested to repair wound on left upper limb, and thin medium-thickness skin graft was harvested from right thigh in different operations to repair wounds on head and face, and thin medium-thickness skin graft from right thigh with area of 3 cm×1 cm was reserved. The total area of burn of the elder sister was 22% TBSA, combined with inhalation injury and severe lung infection after tracheotomy, and the condition was critical. After admission to the hospital, anti-infection, anti-shock by fluid infusion, nutritional support, atomization, and eliminating phlegm treatment were performed. After the general condition was basically stable and blood preparation was sufficient, thin medium-thickness skin grafts were harvested from left thigh to repair wounds on head, face, and left upper limb, and the reserved thin medium-thickness skin graft from right thigh of the younger sister was transferred to the posterior ear wound of the elder sister. The skin grafts survived after operation with expansion showing no difference from autogenous skin. The elder sister and the younger sister were discharged from the hospital on the 24 and 21 day of hospitalization respectively. During follow-up of 6 months, the effect of the operation was good.
