[Analysis of changes in intrinsic neural timescales in male smoking addicts based on whole brain resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging].

Objective: To investigate the abnormal changes of intrinsic neural time scale (INT) in male smoking addicts based on whole brain resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). Methods: A case-control study. The clinical data and whole brain rs-fMRI data of 139 male subjects, aged (34.1±8.8) years, recruited through the online platform from January 2019 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the existence of smoking addiction, they were divided into smoking addiction group (n=83) and healthy control group (n=56).INT was calculated to reflect the brain neural activity dynamics. Single sample t test was used to obtain the whole brain spatial distribution maps of INT in smoking addiction group and the control group. Then two-sample t test was conducted to explore the difference of INT between the smoking addition group and the healthy control group, with age and years of education as covariates. Finally, Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship between INT and nicotine dependence scale score and smoking index. Results: Subjects with smoking addiction and healthy control group showed a similar pattern of hierarchical neural timescales, namely shorter INT in sensorimotor areas and longer INT in parietal lobe, posterior cingulate cortex. In addition, in the smoking addiction group, the left medial occipital gyrus (peak t=-3.18), left suproccipital gyrus (peak t=-3.66), bilateral pericalar cleft cortex (left: peak t=-3.02, right: peak t=-3.22), bilateral lingual gyrus (left: peak t=-3.10, right: t peak=-3.04), left cuneus (peak t=-2.97), default network associated brain region [left anterior cuneus(peak t=-3.23), left angular gyrus (peak t=-3.07), and left posterior cingulate cortex (peak t=-3.54) were significantly lower than those of healthy controls (gaussian random field correction, voxel level all P<0.005, mass level all P<0.05). However, there was no significant correlation between INT and nicotine dependence scale score and smoking index (both P>0.05 after Bonferroni correction). Conclusion: Compared with healthy controls, smoking addicts showed abnormal changes in the dynamics of neural activity in the visual cortex and the default network.

[Primary synovial sarcoma of lung: a clinicopathological analysis of 12 cases].

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features, immunophenotype, molecular features and differential diagnosis of primary synovial sarcoma of the lung (PSSL). Methods: Twelve cases of PSSL were collected at Henan Provincial People's Hospital, during May 2010 and April 2021, and their clinicopathological parameters were summarized. SS18-SSX, H3K27Me3, and SOX2 were added to the original immunomarkers to evaluate their diagnostic value for PSSL. Results: The age of 12 patients when diagnosed ranged from 32 to 75 years (mean of 50 years). There were 7 males and 5 females, 2 left lung cases and 10 right lung cases. Of the 6 patients who underwent surgical resection, five cases were confined to lung tissue (T1), one case had mediastinal invasion (T3), two cases had regional lymph node metastasis (N1), and none had distal metastasis. Microscopically, 11 cases showed monophasic spindle cell type and one case showed biphasic type composed of mainly epithelial cells consisting of cuboidal to columnar cells with glandular and cribriform structures. It was difficult to make the diagnosis by using the biopsy specimens. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) showed CKpan expression in 8 of 12 cases; EMA expression in 11 of 12 case; TLE1 expression in 8 of 12 cases; S-100 protein expression in two of 12 cases; various expression of bcl-2 and vimentin in 12 cases, but no expression of SOX10 and CD34 in all the cases. The Ki-67 index was 15%-30%. The expression of SS18-SSX fusion antibody was diffusely and strongly positive in all 12 cases. SOX2 was partially or diffusely expressed in 8 of 12 cases, with strong expression in the epithelial component. H3K27Me3 was absent in 3 of 12 cases. SS18 gene translocation was confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) test in all 12 samples. Six cases underwent surgery and postoperative chemotherapy, while the other six cases had chemotherapy alone. Ten patients were followed up after 9-114 months, with an average of 41 months and a median of 26 months. Five patients survived and five died of the disease within two years. Conclusions: PSSL is rare and has a broad morphological spectrum. IHC and molecular tests are needed for definitive diagnosis. Compared with current commonly used IHC markers, SS18-SSX fusion antibody has better sensitivity to PSSL, which could be used as an alternative for FISH, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction or next generation sequencing in the diagnosis of PSSL.

Pressure-Induced Superconductivity up to 9 K in the Quasi-One-Dimensional KMn_{6}Bi_{5}.

The Mn-based superconductor is rare owing to the strong magnetic pair-breaking effect. Here we report on the discovery of pressure-induced superconductivity in KMn_{6}Bi_{5}, which becomes the first ternary Mn-based superconductor. At ambient pressure, the quasi-one-dimensional KMn_{6}Bi_{5} is an antiferromagnetic metal with T_{N}≈75 K. By measuring resistance and ac magnetic susceptibility under hydrostatic pressures up to 14.2 GPa in a cubic anvil cell apparatus, we find that its antiferromagnetic transition can be suppressed completely at a critical pressure of P_{c}≈13 GPa, around which bulk superconductivity emerges and displays a superconducting dome with the maximal T_{c}^{onset}=9.3 K achieved at about 14 GPa. The close proximity of superconductivity to a magnetic instability in the temperature-pressure phase diagram of KMn_{6}Bi_{5} and an unusually large µ_{0}H_{c2}(0) exceeding the Pauli paramagnetic limit suggests an unconventional magnetism-mediated paring mechanism. In contrast to the binary MnP, the flexibility of the crystal structure and chemical compositions in the ternary AMn_{6}Bi_{5} (A=alkali metal) can open a new avenue for finding more Mn-based superconductors.

[Naringenin inhibits thoracic aortic aneurysm formation in mice with Marfan syndrome].

OBJECTIVE: To identify whether naringenin plays a protective role during thoracic aneurysm formation in Marfan syndrome. METHODS: To validate the effect of naringenin, Fbn1C1039G/+ mice, the mouse model of Marfan syndrome, were fed with naringenin, and the disease progress was evaluated. The molecular mechanism of naringenin was further investigated via in vitro studies, such as bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET), atomic force microscope and radioligand receptor binding assay. RESULTS: Six-week-old Fbn1C1039G/+ mice were fed with naringenin for 20 weeks. Compared with the control group, naringenin significantly suppressed the aortic expansion [Fbn1C1039G/+ vs. Fbn1C1039G/++naringenin: (2.49±0.47) mm, n=18 vs. (1.87±0.19) mm, n=22, P < 0.05], the degradation of elastin, and the expression and activity of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) and MMP9 in the ascending aorta of Fbn1C1039G/+ mice. Besides, treatment with naringenin for 6 weeks also attenuated the disease progress among the 20-week-old Fbn1C1039G/+ mice with established thoracic aortic aneurysms [Fbn1C1039G/+ vs. Fbn1C1039G/++naringenin: (2.24±0.23) mm, n=8 vs. (1.90±0.17) mm, n=8, P < 0.05]. To understand the underlying molecular mechanisms, we examined the effects of naringenin on angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor (AT1) signaling and transforming growth factor-ß (TGF-ß) signaling respectively, which were the dominant signaling pathways contributing to aortopathy in Marfan syndrome as previously reported. The results showed that naringenin decreased angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ)-induced phosphorylation of protein kinase C (PKC) and extracellular regulating kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) in HEK293A cell overexpressing AT1 receptor. Moreover, naringenin inhibited Ang Ⅱ-induced calcium mobilization and uclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) signaling. The internalization of AT1 receptor and its binding to ß-arrestin-2 with Ang Ⅱ induction were also suppressed by naringenin. As evidenced by atomic force microscope and radioligand receptor binding assay, naringenin inhibited Ang Ⅱ binding to AT1 receptor. In terms of TGF-ß signaling, we found that feeding the mice with naringenin decreased the phosphorylation of Smad2 and ERK1/2 as well as the expression of TGF-ß downstream genes. Besides, the serum level of TGF-ß was also decreased by naringenin in the Fbn1C1039G/+ mice. Furthermore, we detected the effect of naringenin on platelet, a rich source of TGF-ß, both in vivo and in vitro. And we found that naringenin markedly decreased the TGF-ß level by inhibiting the activation of platelet. CONCLUSION: Our study showed that naringenin has a protective effect on thoracic aortic aneurysm formation in Marfan syndrome by suppressing both AT1 and TGF-ß signaling.

Double Superconducting Dome and Triple Enhancement of T_{c} in the Kagome Superconductor CsV_{3}Sb_{5} under High Pressure.

CsV_{3}Sb_{5} is a newly discovered Z_{2} topological kagome metal showing the coexistence of a charge-density-wave (CDW)-like order at T^{*}=94 K and superconductivity (SC) at T_{c}=2.5 K at ambient pressure. Here, we study the interplay between CDW and SC in CsV_{3}Sb_{5} via measurements of resistivity, dc and ac magnetic susceptibility under various pressures up to 6.6 GPa. We find that the CDW transition decreases with pressure and experience a subtle modification at P_{c1}≈0.6-0.9 GPa before it vanishes completely at P_{c2}≈2 GPa. Correspondingly, T_{c}(P) displays an unusual M-shaped double dome with two maxima around P_{c1} and P_{c2}, respectively, leading to a tripled enhancement of T_{c} to about 8 K at 2 GPa. The obtained temperature-pressure phase diagram resembles those of unconventional superconductors, illustrating an intimated competition between CDW-like order and SC. The competition is found to be particularly strong for the intermediate pressure range P_{c1}≤P≤P_{c2} as evidenced by the broad superconducting transition and reduced superconducting volume fraction. The modification of CDW order around P_{c1} has been discussed based on the band structure calculations. This work not only demonstrates the potential to raise T_{c} of the V-based kagome superconductors, but also offers more insights into the rich physics related to the electron correlations in this novel family of topological kagome metals.

[Written at the closing year of the "three 90%" strategic goal for AIDS prevention and treatment].

In 2014, Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) put forward the goal of ending HIV epidemic by 2030 at the International AIDS Conference and proposed the strategic goal of achieving "three 90%" by 2020. This year is the closing year of this strategic goal, and all regions have begun to evaluate the progress of implementing the goal. This article discussed the progress of the implementation of the "three 90%", and scientifically interpreted the strategic goal. It is proposed that the goal is a relative and dynamic concept, and only if we sieze the opportunity to achieve the strategic goal and continuously enhance comprehensive prevention and control, can the HIV epidemic be better controlled.

Magnetic-Competition-Induced Colossal Magnetoresistance in n-Type HgCr_{2}Se_{4} under High Pressure.

The n-type HgCr_{2}Se_{4} exhibits a sharp semiconductor-to-metal transition (SMT) in resistivity accompanying the ferromagnetic order at T_{C}=106 K. Here, we investigate the effects of pressure and magnetic field on the concomitant SMT and ferromagnetic order by measuring resistivity, dc and ac magnetic susceptibility, as well as single-crystal neutron diffraction under various pressures up to 8 GPa and magnetic fields up to 8 T. Our results demonstrate that the ferromagnetic metallic ground state of n-type HgCr_{2}Se_{4} is destabilized and gradually replaced by an antiferromagnetic, most likely a spiral magnetic, and insulating ground state upon the application of high pressure. On the other hand, the application of external magnetic fields can restore the ferromagnetic metallic state again at high pressures, resulting in a colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) as high as ∼ 3×10^{11}% under 5 T and 2 K at 4 GPa. The present study demonstrates that n-type HgCr_{2}Se_{4} is located at a peculiar critical point where the balance of competition between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions can be easily tipped by external stimuli, providing a new platform for achieving CMR in a single-valent system.

The serum levels of GP73 were detected in 90 clinical samples from healthy controls and patients with chronic hepatitis B infection (CHB) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Results: Five anti-GP73 monoclonal antibodies were prepared and purified, and 5 antibody pairs were successfully screened. The Luminex liquid chip detection system of GP73 was successfully constructed using 8F10D1 and 10B9F11 antibody pairs. The analytical performance evaluation showed that the sensitivity of this system was 0.25 ng/ml and the dynamic range was 0.25-100 ng/ml. No cross reactivity was observed. The intra- and inter-assay variation for GP73 was <8% and <11%, respectively. The recovery was 83%-92%. The linear regression equation was y=1.141x+ 6.436 (r(2)=0.998 4, P<0.001). The GP73 concentrations in the serum samples of healthy control, CHB group, and HCC group were 42.8 (38.68, 55.90) ng/ml, 61.49 (43.59, 81) ng/ml, and 122.78 (49.36 liter, 264.55) ng/ml, respectively. The levels of GP73 in HCC group were significantly higher than those in CHB group and healthy controls (P<0.05). Moreover, the levels of GP73 in CHB group were significantly higher than those in healthy controls (P<0.05). Conclusions: A liquid chip detection system of GP73 was successfully constructed. It provides a powerful tool for the clinical application of GP73 in the future.

Standard medical records were collected, which were summarized as follows: demographic data, liver function, the number and size of tumors and the modality of ablation. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to identify the independent risk factors.The ROC curve was used to determine prognostic value. Cox proportional hazards model was used to establish predictive model, and the scores of risk factors were assigned according to HR value. Patients were divided into high-risk group and low-risk group in accordance with scores.The analysis of early recurrence rate was performed by the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Tumor number, fibrinogen (Fib) and platelet-lymphocyte rate (PLR) were independently correlated with recurrence-free survival (RFS). The AUCs of Fib, PLR and Fib-PLR were 72.9%, 71.5% and 81.8%. The recurrence rates of the low-risk group were 4.9%,7.3% and 29.3% at 6 months,12 months and 24 months while 14.6%,43.9% and 78.1% in high-risk group. Two groups revealed statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Tumor number, Fib, and PLR may be used as a set of predictive indicator of early recurrence in HBV-associated HCC patients after ablation.

[Analysis of the entrance and suture method of umbilical incision in gynecological laparoscopy].

Objective: To explore the entrance and suture method of umbilical incision in gynecological laparoscopy. Methods: A total of 204 cases of gynecologic laparoscopy in our hospital from 2013 to 2016 were reviewed respectively. All the cases used two kinds of approach of umbilical incision: intra-umbilical incision and peri-umbilical incision (longitudinal/transverse oblique/arc incision according to the bellybutton natural skin folds) and two methods of suture: the suture of "U" and the suture of the whole subcutaneous tissue. Two groups were randomly assigned based on the entrance and suture method with each group 102 cases. The peri-operative outcomes were compared, including intra-operative and postoperative bleeding, postoperative incision fat liquefaction and infection, incision pain, incision appearance satisfaction and incision healing satisfaction. Results: The difference was statistically significant in the intra-operative and postoperative bleeding between two groups of intra-umbilical incision and peri-umbilical incision (P<0.05). There was statistically significant difference in postoperative incision fat liquefaction, infection and incision pain between two groups of the suture of "U" and the suture of the whole subcutaneous tissue (P<0.05). The incision appearance satisfaction showed no difference (P>0.05), but the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05) in the incision healing satisfaction between two groups. Conclusion: The peri-umbilical incision (longitudinal/transverse oblique/arc incision according to the bellybutton natural skin folds) and suture of the whole subcutaneous tissue can be the feasible modified methods with high practicability and security, good cosmetic result. It should be promoted in gynecologic laparoscopy.

[The expressions and the roles of SDF-1/CXCR-4 and SDF-1/CXCR-4 in human endometriosis].

Objective: To investigate the expressions and significances of SDF-1 and its receptor CXCR-4 in endometriosis. Methods: 50 hysteromyoma patients treated at Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University between 1(st) January 2016 and 31(st) December 2017 were divided into control group, that is, non-endometriosis group, while another 50 endometriosis patients were divided into experimental group.The endometrial tissues, endometriosis lesions, and peritoneal fluid samples of hysteromyoma patients were collected by operation.RT-PCR, ELISA and immunohistochemistry were adopted to detect the expressions of SDF-1 and CXCR-4 in the two groups.Cell count was used to analyze the roles of SDF-1 and CXCR4 in the mitosis and proliferation of endometrial stromal cells. Results: The mean value of SDF-1 and CXCR-4 expressions in ascites or peritoneal fluid of endometriosis patients were (2.56±0.33) mg/L and (4.47±0.32) mg/L, respectively. The mean concentrations in ascites or peritoneal fluid in hysteromyoma patients were (1.39±0.36) mg/L and (3.16±0.32) mg/L, respectively.The expressions of SDF-1 and CXCR-4 in ascites or peritoneal fluid of endometriosis patients were both significantly higher than those of patients in non-endometriosis group (P<0.05). SDF-1 and CXCR-4 were expressed in both endometriosis lesions and the glandular epithelial cells and mesenchymal cells of normal endometrial tissue.Positive staining sites were located in the cytoplasm.A value was used to calculate and analyze the expression of immune staining.The mean A value of SDF-1 and CXCR-4 in endometriosis group were 0.21±0.13 and 0.21±0.13, respectively, and the mean A value in normal endometrial tissues were 0.15±0.13 and 0.14±0.13, respectively.The expressions of these two in endometrial tissues were significantly higher than that in normal endometrial tissues, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The expression of CXCR-4 mRNA was abundant in the mesenchymal cells of endometriosis cultured in vitro.SDF-1 promoted the mitosis and proliferation of endometrial stromal cells cultured in vitro in a dose-dependent manner.The neutralizing antibody against CXCR-4 was obviously inhibited. Conclusion: The high expressions of SDF-1 and CXCR-4 in endometriosis as well as SDF-1 through its specific receptor CXCR-4 promoted the mitosis and proliferation of endometrial stromal cells, suggesting that SDF-1 and CXCR-4 played important roles in the pathogenesis of endometriosis.

High-T_{c} Superconductivity in FeSe at High Pressure: Dominant Hole Carriers and Enhanced Spin Fluctuations.

The importance of electron-hole interband interactions is widely acknowledged for iron-pnictide superconductors with high transition temperatures (T_{c}). However, the absence of hole pockets near the Fermi level of the iron-selenide (FeSe) derived high-T_{c} superconductors raises a fundamental question of whether iron pnictides and chalcogenides have different pairing mechanisms. Here, we study the properties of electronic structure in the high-T_{c} phase induced by pressure in bulk FeSe from magnetotransport measurements and first-principles calculations. With increasing pressure, the low-T_{c} superconducting phase transforms into the high-T_{c} phase, where we find the normal-state Hall resistivity changes sign from negative to positive, demonstrating dominant hole carriers in contrast to other FeSe-derived high-T_{c} systems. Moreover, the Hall coefficient is enlarged and the magnetoresistance exhibits anomalous scaling behaviors, evidencing strongly enhanced interband spin fluctuations in the high-T_{c} phase. These results in FeSe highlight similarities with high-T_{c} phases of iron pnictides, constituting a step toward a unified understanding of iron-based superconductivity.

Exposure to famine in early life and the risk of obesity in adulthood in Qingdao: Evidence from the 1959-1961 Chinese famine.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: We aimed to evaluate the association between famine exposure during early life and obesity and obesitymax (obese at the highest weight) in adulthood. METHODS AND RESULTS: Data were from two population-based cross-sectional surveys conducted in 2006 and 2009 in Qingdao, China. A total of 8185 subjects born between 1/1/1941 and 12/31/1971 were categorized into unexposed (born between 01/01/1962 and 12/31/1971), fetal/infant exposed (born between 01/01/1959 and 12/31/1961), childhood exposed (born between 01/01/1949 and 12/31/1958) and adolescence exposed (born between 01/01/1941 and 12/31/1948) according to their age when exposed to the Chinese famine from 1959 to 1961. Obesity was defined as BMI (body mass index) ≥28.0 and obesitymax was defined as BMImax (BMI at the highest weight) ≥28.0. We compared fetal/infant exposed, childhood exposed and adolescence exposed to the unexposed using logistic regression models to assess the effect of famine exposure on later obesity and obesitymax. Fetal/infant exposed (OR = 1.59, P < 0.001), childhood exposed (OR = 1.42, P < 0.01) and adolescence exposed (OR = 1.86, P < 0.01) all had higher risks of obesity than the unexposed. Exposure groups were more likely to be obese at their highest weight than the unexposed, and ORs (95%CIs) for obesitymax in the fetal/infant exposed, childhood exposed and adolescence exposed were 1.49(1.20-1.86), 1.24(1.02-1.49) and 1.64 (1.40-1.93), respectively. Similar results were found in both men and women. CONCLUSION: Exposure to famine in early life was associated with increased risks of obesity and obesitymax in adulthood. Preventing undernutrition in early life appears beneficial to reduce the prevalence of later obesity.

[A survey on high-risk behaviors and HIV infection among men having sex with men who use drugs in Tianjin in 2016].

Objective: To analyze the characteristics of high risk sexual behaviors and HIV infectious status among men who have sex with men (MSM) who use drugs in Tianjin in 2016. Methods: From April to December in 2016, MSM who use drugs in Tianjin were targetedly and extensively mobilized to receive testing by snowball sampling method. The inclusion criteria were as follows: men aged 18 years old and above; have had oral or anal sex with men in the last 6 months; have had drug abuse history in the last 6 months, including the use of rush poppers, 5-Methoxy-diisopropyltryptamine (5-MeO-DiPT), and Methamphetamine Synthesis substances; and with no mental disorder or mental deficiency. In this study, 302 MSMs were recruited to collect information of social demographic characteristics, drug abuse situation, sexual behavior after drug use, HIV test and the infectious status was collected through the online questionnaire, and the descriptive analysis was conducted. Results: From January to December 2016, a total of 302 subjects were recruited, among whom 194 (64.2%) aged 21-30 years old, 223 (73.8%) were unmarried and 28 (9.3%) were students. In the past 6 months, 297 (98.3%) used rush poppers, 31 (10.3%) used 5-MeO-DiPT, and 14(4.6%) used Methamphetamine Synthesis substances. The proportion of having sex after using the three types of drugs were 87.9% (n=261), 83.9% (n=26) and 92.9% (n=13), 85.5% (n=254), 87.1% (n=27) and 92.9% (n=13) of the subjects reported the sexual pleasure and sexual desire increased after using drugs, respectively. After using the three types of the drugs,58.6% (n=174), 83.9% (n=26) and 92.9% (n=13) of the subjects reported the duration of each sexual activity prolonged. In the past 3 months,48.3% (n=146) had stable sexual partners, 72.5% (n=219) had temporary sexual partners and 12.3% (n=37) had group sexual behaviors. 41 out of 302 subjects were HIV positive with the HIV positive rate at 13.6%. Conclusion: Most of the MSM who use drugs were young, and always had sex when they use drugs. There is a relatively high HIV prevalence in this population.

[Analysis of Spatial Clustering of HIV infected in men who have sex with men in Chongqing of 2004-2015].

Objective: To analyze the spatial clustering characteristics of HIV/AIDS among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Chongqing from January 2004 to December 2015 and understand the HIV/AIDS related behaviors among MSM by interview. Methods: Data related to MSM who were infected with HIV and whose present address were in Chongqing, were collected from Information System on the HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control. Information included the age when the information was inputted, address, occupation, education level, and marital status. The total number of MSM who were infected with HIV and reported was 6 604 in Chongqing. Those with unknown address were ruled out. The spatial autocorrelation analysis and the local spatial autocorrelation analysis were carried out by using ArcGIS 10.3. In addition, in November 2015 and May 2016, using a convenience sampling, we conducted one-on-one interviews among 23 MSM in the Chongqing Center for Disease Control and prevention. INCLUSION CRITERIA: Receiving voluntary counseling and testing in the urban area of Chongqing and willing to participate in the interview by oral informed consent; male and self-described as MSM. The content of the interview included basic information, sexual orientation, sexual role, the main place of making friends, the main place of sexual behavior, a long-term experience in other provinces and drug abuse. Results: The HIV/AIDS reported number in Chongqing from 2004 to 2015 showed an uptrend, except in 2010. The age distribution of 6 604 cases of HIV positive patients was mainly concentrated in the 15-34 years old, about 68.5% (4 522 cases). There was a positive spatial autocorrelation in MSM, except 2005 (Moran's I=-0.046, P=0.823), form 2004 to 2015, Global Moran's I values were 0.308, 0.254, 0.335, 0.683, 0.673, 0.558, 0.620, 0.673, 0.685, 0.654 and 0.649, respectively; all P values were <0.01. The result of local spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that high-high accumulation area development in Chongqing city was divided into two stages in 2004-2015, which were Yuzhong, Jiangbei, and Shapingba district in 2004-2007 and the expanded Jiulongpo, Nan'an, and Yubei district in 2008-2015. Qualitative interviews results revealed that the age of the respondents was 20-44, and the mainly way of making friends were using mobile phone App and internet (17 participants). Most of the participants (11 participants) were making friends in the bar. The majority of respondents would ask the friends or themselves to use condoms when meeting with them the first time (19 participants), and 8 of respondents reported that they would not use condoms when their old friends refused to use condoms. Conclusion: The HIV infected MSM mainly aged between 15-34 years old and the spatial distribution of HIV/AIDS among MSM was clustered in economically developed main area in Chongqing. MSM began to make friends on the Internet, and could not adhere to using condom, which indicated that we should focus on internet intervention to find more efficacious interventions.

[Expanding test and normalization for HIV/AIDS prevention and control].

Expanding real-name HIV test is the basis of the real-time reporting system in China, and it plays an important role for the progress. In year of 2003, there were 45 092 cases of HIV positives reported cumulatively, which accounted for only 5.4% of the estimated population of HIV positives. Since implementation of real-name HIV test and establishment, real-time reporting system, up to year 2005, the total of reported HIV positives was 577 000, which took up 67.9% of the estimated HIV positives. Also among reported cases, 387 000 cases have received the anti-retroviral treatment. Normalization of HIV prevention and control will pave the way to medical insurance for HIV positives. It is a goal that all the people have medical insurance in China, and the normalization is an ideal working condition, and real-name HIV test is a measure for it. The both are very closely connected and improving each anther.

[The characteristics of HIV-positive men who have sex with men in China and predictors of their migration, 2008-2015].

Objective: To characterize the migration patterns of men who have sex with men (MSM) living with HIV/AIDS in the period 2008-2015 and to characterize the determinants of their migration. Methods: All identified HIV/AIDS cases transmitted through self-reported homosexual contact reported to the National Case Reporting System(CRS) by the end of December 31, 2015 were included in this study. Data of basic demographic characteristics, household registration and address of the research objects were collected. Retrospective cohort study was used to analyze the migration characteristics of HIV/AIDS cases between 2008 and 2015.We used the χ2 test to analyze their migration patterns and epidemiological characteristics, and multilevel logistic regression to investigate the determinants of migration. Results: While mobile cases comprised 46.1% of the sample (n=54 714), we detected a significant rising trend (χ2=130.93, P<0.001) as this proportion rose from 42.0% (1 335/3 182) in 2008 to 47.9% (15 623/32 610) in 2015. Of the 13 580 mobile cases with Hukou registration in Eastern China, 89.8% (12 201) migrated to other parts of Eastern China. Meanwhile, 52.0% of the 26 088 cases registered in Central China (n=13 570) and 30.5% of the 14 106 registered in Western China (n=4 298) migrated to Eastern China. Furthermore, 96.2% of mobile cases (n=52 627) resided in the urban areas, of which 40.8% (n=21 452) migrated from rural areas to urban areas and 58.4% (n=30 722) migrated between urban areas. The annual proportion of cases who changed their address within 1 year of diagnosis ranged from 12.0%-18.5%. The results of the multilevel model showed that cases who were aged 25-49 years (OR=1.30, 95% CI: 1.26-1.34), single (OR=1.95, 95% CI: 1.87-2.02), and had a high school education or above (OR=1.68, 95% CI: 1.64-1.73) were more likely to migrate. AIDS (OR=0.71, 95% CI: 0.69-0.74), Hukou registration in an urban area (OR=0.63, 95%CI: 0.61-0.65), in Central China (OR=0.84, 95%CI: 0.73-0.97), Western China (OR=0.75, 95%CI: 0.64-0.87), and in regions with a high population density or above-average gross domestic product (GDP) per head (OR=0.77, 95% CI: 0.69-0.87 and OR=0.70, 95% CI: 0.62-0.79, respectively) were negatively associated with migration. Conclusion: The number and proportion of mobile HIV cases showed a rising annual trend. Age, marital status, level of education and disease severity, in addition to the population density and level of economic development of cases' place of origin, were significant determinants of migration.

[The social marketing models and policy advices for HIV rapid testing initiated by non-govermental organization].

Currently, a growing number of community-based organizations are providing rapid HIV testing service in various forms, some people with specific needs also purchase HIV rapid test papers through online sales channels, those imply that the demand of HIV self-test is in increasing year by year.In this paper, aims to understand the current situation of HIV rapid test led by CBOs and the approach, strategies and results of social marketing by means of expert interviews and site visits. Hope to illustrate the current situation, and make recommendations for future work.

Pressure induced superconductivity on the border of magnetic order in MnP.

We report the discovery of superconductivity on the border of long-range magnetic order in the itinerant-electron helimagnet MnP via the application of high pressure. Superconductivity with T(sc)≈1 K emerges and exists merely near the critical pressure P(c)≈8 GPa, where the long-range magnetic order just vanishes. The present finding makes MnP the first Mn-based superconductor. The close proximity of superconductivity to a magnetic instability suggests an unconventional pairing mechanism. Moreover, the detailed analysis of the normal-state transport properties evidenced non-Fermi-liquid behavior and the dramatic enhancement of the quasiparticle effective mass near P(c) associated with the magnetic quantum fluctuations.

Mechanism of action of ethylene sulfite and vinylene carbonate electrolyte additives in LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2/graphite pouch cells: electrochemical, GC-MS and XPS analysis.

The role of ethylene sulfite used either alone or in combination with VC in LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 (NMC)/graphite pouch cells was studied by correlating data from differential capacity (dQ/dV) analysis, gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (GC-MS), theoretical calculations, ultrahigh precision coulometry, storage experiments and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. For cells containing VC alone, the electrochemical performance and gas production were greatly improved, compared to cells without VC, due to the formation of more stable and protective SEI films at both electrode surfaces by a polymer of VC. For cells with ES alone, a vigorous reactivity was observed due to preferential reduction that also generated large amounts of gas during formation. The dramatic decrease in electrochemical performance as well as the continuous production of gas during cycling in cells with ES was explained by the formation of a very thin and ineffective SEI film at the NMC surface. The suppression of the vigorous reaction of ES in cells with both ES and VC occurred because the solvation energy of Li(+) by VC is smaller than that of EC so VC is reduced first during formation. During charge-discharge cycling, a slow consumption of ES occurred and different sulfur species were observed on the electrodes when VC was combined with ES. SEI film formation processes and SEI composition were therefore dominated by VC and the electrochemical performance of cells with both VC and ES were similar compared to those of cells with VC alone.
