[Research on the origin and development of "Wu shan qi e"].

"Wu shan qi e"(five symptoms with good prognosis and seven with poor prognosis)is a theory used to determine the prognosis of external diseases in traditional Chinese medicine which have been mentioned in many ancient Chinese medicine books and have been valued by external doctors throughout history. However, it has been rarely discussed in modern literature. The theory were first seen in the Taiping Shenghui Fang, and the idea was originated from Ni Shun in Lingshu Yuban."Wu shan qi e"have evolved into many variants through the exertion of medical practitioners throughout history. By reviewing medical books of previous dynasties, it was found that there are two main versions: the Taiping Shenghui Fang version and its derivative versions, and the Waike Zhengzong version and its derivative versions.

Role of alanine aminotransferase in the effects of urinary caffeine concentration and its primary metabolite concentration on cognitive function in older adults: Bayesian Kernel Machine regression analysis and mediation analysis.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the role of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in the effects of urinary caffeine and its primary metabolites on cognitive function in elderly people. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this investigation, we meticulously curated a cohort from the 2011-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database. Animal fluency emerged as the pivotal metric for assessing cognitive function within our study population. In order to navigate the intricacies of mixture analysis and circumvent potential complexities, we harnessed the power of Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) models. This method allowed us to dissect the nuanced impacts of caffeine and its primary urinary metabolites on cognitive function. While accounting for caffeine and its metabolites, we analyzed the relationship between ALT and cognitive function through non-linear dynamics. Lastly, employing structural equation modeling, we probed the intriguing question of whether ALT mediates the influence of 3,7-dimethylxanthine on cognitive function. This comprehensive approach has unveiled a deeper understanding of the multifaceted interplay among these variables, offering invaluable insights into the determinants of cognitive function within our cohort. RESULTS: After meticulous adjustment for various covariates, our linear regression analysis unveiled a noteworthy finding: 3,7-dimethylxanthine demonstrated a significant positive correlation with cognitive function (p < 0.05). Importantly, within the BKMR model employed, 3,7-dimethylxanthine emerged as the most influential factor within the compound, with posterior inclusion probabilities of 0.995 and 0.939. Furthermore, our single-exposure effect model confirmed its presence at the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile concentrations of other components within the compound. Interestingly, bivariate concentration curves indicated no interaction within the compound, underscoring the prominent impact of 3,7-dimethylxanthine on cognitive function. Subsequently, through a test of Restricted Cubic Splines (RCS), we revealed a non-linear relationship between ALT and cognitive function at the 10th, 50th, and 90th percentiles (p < 0.05), indicating a heightened risk of diminished cognitive function in the low ALT group. Employing structural equation modeling, we meticulously examined the mediating role of ALT in relation to 3,7-dimethylxanthine and cognitive function. However, our study results did not yield significant evidence of a mediating effect. This comprehensive analysis elucidates the intricate interplay between these variables, unveiling the subtle mechanisms governing cognitive function. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, a noteworthy positive correlation was observed between 3,7-dimethylxanthine and cognitive function. Additionally, a non-linear relationship was identified between ALT and cognitive function, with lower levels of ALT associated with a decline in cognitive function. The RCS trend suggested that higher levels of ALT may similarly lead to diminished cognitive performance. However, in our pursuit to ascertain potential mediation, we regrettably found no significant evidence supporting mediation among these factors involving ALT. This underscores the need for more comprehensive investigations and expanded clinical explorations into the intricate associations among these three pivotal elements.

[Research progress on the effect of common metabolism-related comorbidities on health outcomes and management strategies in patients with chronic hepatitis B].

With the increasing life expectancy and lifestyle changes of patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), the significance of comorbidities of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in disease progression and health prognosis of CHB patients is gaining prominence. This study aims to explore the association between CHB and NCDs comorbidities, focusing on the impact of common metabolism-related diseases, such as metabolic syndrome and diabetes, on the health outcomes of CHB patients. We also summarize studies on integrating the management of comorbidities in CHB patients and provide relevant recommendations for effective management. The findings of this study serve as a foundation for understanding the clinical characteristics and prevalence trends, reducing the disease burden of comorbidities among CHB patients, and establishing a comprehensive and coordinated management system for comorbidities.

Robustness and stability of doubly periodic patterns of the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation.

The nonlinear Schrödinger equation possesses doubly periodic solutions expressible in terms of the Jacobi elliptic functions. Such solutions can be realized through doubly periodic patterns observed in experiments in fluid mechanics and optics. Stability and robustness of these doubly periodic wave profiles in the focusing regime are studied computationally by using two approaches. First, linear stability is considered by Floquet theory. Growth will occur if the eigenvalues of the monodromy matrix are of a modulus larger than unity. This is verified by numerical simulations with input patterns of different periods. Initial patterns associated with larger eigenvalues will disintegrate faster due to instability. Second, formation of these doubly periodic patterns from a tranquil background is scrutinized. Doubly periodic profiles are generated by perturbing a continuous wave with one Fourier mode, with or without the additional presence of random noise. Effects of varying phase difference, perturbation amplitude, and randomness are studied. Varying the phase angle has a dramatic influence. Periodic patterns will only emerge if the perturbation amplitude is not too weak. The growth of higher-order harmonics, as well as the formation of breathers and repeating patterns, serve as a manifestation of the classical problem of Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou recurrence.

A nomogram predicting the outcome of gallbladder cancer patients with different target organ metastases.

OBJECTIVE: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a highly aggressive malignancy that is associated with a high mortality rate globally. Unfortunately, distant metastases are often detected at the time of diagnosis. Therefore, we investigated the survival outcomes of gallbladder cancer patients with different metastases targeting organs, analyzed their prognosis, and explored their hidden clinical value. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Through data screening, a total of 398 patients with GBC with different target organ metastases were analyzed retrospectively, including patients with solitary bone metastasis, solitary liver metastasis, solitary lung metastasis, and multiple organ metastases. The survival results of different variables were plotted as Kaplan-Meier survival curves. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were used to screen study variables and identify independent prognostic factors. Finally, a nomogram was established to systematically evaluate the prognosis of patients with multiple organ metastasis. RESULTS: In the patient cohort, thirteen (3.3%) had solitary bone metastasis, 290 (72.9%) had solitary liver metastasis, 22 (5.5%) had solitary lung metastasis, and 73 (18.3%) had multiple organ metastases (including liver, lung, bone and brain metastases). Multivariate Cox analysis showed that the overall survival (OS) of patients with solitary lung metastasis was significantly better than that of patients with other organ metastasis (p = 0.038), while the difference in tumor cancer-specific survival (CSS) of this factor was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Surgery and chemotherapy were independent prognostic protective factors for OS and CSS. The OS-related models exhibited a C-index of 0.74 (95% CI: 0.71-0.77), while the CSS-related models showed a slightly lower C-index of 0.73 (0.70-0.76). Both the OS- and CSS-related clinical prediction models had good accuracy. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that different target organ metastases may affect the OS of patients with distant metastatic GBC. Patients receiving palliative surgery, primary site resection, radical surgery, and chemotherapy have significant survival benefits in terms of OS and CSS.

[A follow-up study of the severe occlusal surface wear of implant-supported full-arch prostheses].

Objective: To evaluate the severe occlusal surface wear of implant-supported full-arch prostheses, and to explore the risk factors affecting the severe occlusal surface wear of implant-supported full-arch prostheses. Methods: Five hundred and thirty-five patients who received implant-supported fixed complete dental prostheses or implant-overdentures and completed at least one follow-up 3 months after the delivery of definitive prostheses were enrolled from October 1994 to October 2021 in this retrospective cohort study. The information on demographics, implants, definitive prostheses, and related outcomes was collected. Cox proportional hazard regression model was adopted to analyze the risk factors of the severe wear of occlusal surfaces in implant-supported full-arch prostheses. Univariate analysis was performed on the factors that may affect the severe wear of occlusal surfaces, and the parameters of P<0.10 in univariate analysis were included in multivariate analysis to explore the risk factors affecting the severe wear of occlusal surfaces in implant-supported full-arch prostheses. Results: Severe wear of the posterior occlusal surfaces was detected in 114 prostheses with a duration of 61.4 (33.3, 89.4) months. 13 cases occurred≤2 years after the delivery of definitive prostheses, 44 cases>2 years and≤5 years, 44 cases>5 years and≤10 years, and the other 13 cases>10 years. There was no significant difference in the average time of severe occlusal surface wear between implant-supported fixed complete dental prostheses and implant-overdentures in the maxilla (Z=-1.03, P=0.303). However, in the mandible, it was 48.2 (31.2, 80.2) and 79.2 (51.3, 119.1) months respectively, which was statistically significant (Z=-2.93, P=0.003). Cox proportional hazard regression model showed opposed fixed dentition, bruxism, and posterior resin occlusal surfaces were risk factors (P<0.05) affecting the severe wear of the occlusal surfaces. Conclusions: Severe occlusal surface wear was clinically common with the prolonged application of implant-supported full-arch prostheses. Prostheses opposed to fixed dentition, in patients with bruxism, and made of posterior resin materials were at higher risk of severe occlusal surface wear on the posterior artificial teeth. Regular follow-up, patients' behavior guidance, and clinicians' appropriate intervention were necessary to manage this complication.

[Acceptance of pre-exposure prophylaxis and post-exposure prophylaxis against HIV and related factors in men who have sex with men in Shandong Province].

Objectives: To understand the use of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) and related factors in men who have sex with men (MSM) in Shandong Province, and provide reference for the promotion of PrEP and PEP in MSM. Methods: From April to July in 2022, MSM were recruited from 7 sentinel surveillance sites in Shandong Province for a questionnaire survey, and the sample size of each city site was 400. The information about sociodemographic characteristics, sexual behaviors, the uses of PrEP and PEP and others were collected from the MSM, and blood samples were collected from them for HIV and syphilis testing. Results: A total of 2 815 MSM were investigated, the majority of them were aged less than 30 years (55.7%, 1 569/2 815), unmarried (68.6%, 1 931/2 815) and had education background of college and above (56.5%, 1 590/2 815). Only 9.2% (258/2 815) had used PrEP and 10.8% (305/2 815) had used PEP. Multivariate logistic regression showed that factors associated with high likelihood of PrEP use in MSM included age ≤30 years (aOR=4.04, 95%CI:1.25-13.01), self-perceived lower risk of HIV infection (aOR=1.76, 95%CI:1.16-2.68), group sex and commercial sex in the past six months (aOR=1.51, 95%CI: 1.10-2.09; aOR=1.69, 95%CI: 1.16-2.47), new-type drug use (aOR=1.53, 95%CI: 1.11-2.11), receiving peer education (aOR=1.56, 95%CI: 1.03-2.37), other people using PrEP (aOR=3.29, 95%CI: 2.48-4.36), and being HIV negative (aOR=8.40, 95%CI:1.12-63.12). Factor associated with low likelihood of PrEP use in MSM was anal sex with casual partner (aOR=0.67, 95%CI:0.49-0.90). Factors associated with high likelihood of PEP use in MSM included age under 50 years (≤30 years old: aOR=2.41, 95%CI:1.02-5.69; 31-49 years old: aOR=3.33, 95%CI:1.42-7.85), no self-perceived risk for HIV infection (aOR=1.87, 95%CI:1.12-3.11), group sex in the past six months (aOR=1.68, 95%CI:1.23-2.29), new-type drug use (aOR=3.86, 95%CI:2.94-5.07) and receiving no peer education (aOR=1.54, 95%CI:1.12-2.12). Conclusions: In Shandong, a higher proportion of MSM used PrEP and PEP. Peer education and self-perceived HIV infection risk education should be strengthened to increase the rates of PrEP and PEP use in MSM.

Early strategy vs. late initiation of renal replacement therapy in adult patients with acute kidney injury: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

OBJECTIVE: The optimal time to start renal replacement therapy (RRT) for acute kidney injury (AKI) remains controversial. We aim to compare the effects of early vs. delayed RRT initiation on clinical outcomes in adult patients with AKI. MATERIALS AND METHODS: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, ClinicalTrials.gov, and the International Clinical Trial registry platform were systematically searched from inception to 7 August 2022. The review included randomized clinical trials (RCTs) comparing early and delayed initiation of RRT in AKI patients. The selected primary outcomes were short-term and long-term mortality. Secondary outcomes included RRT dependency, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay, hospital length of stay, mechanical ventilator-free days, vasoactive agents-free days, RRT-free days, and adverse events. RESULTS: Overall, 15 RCTs, including 5,625 patients, were analyzed. Early RRT showed no survival benefit when compared to the delayed therapy (28-or 30-day mortality: RR, 1.01, 95% CI: 0.94-1.08, p = 0.87; 60-day mortality: RR, 0.87, 95% CI: 0.71-1.06, p = 0.16; 90-day mortality: RR, 1.00, 95% CI: 0.88-1.13, p = 0.97; in-hospital mortality: RR, 1.05, 95% CI: 0.88-1.24, p = 0.58; ICU mortality: RR, 1.00, 95% CI: 0.91-1.10, p = 0.98). The delayed RRT did not lead to a higher risk of RRT dependency, ICU, or hospital length of stay than the early RRT. Similarly, early initiation of RRT did not lead to longer ventilator-free, vasoactive agent-free, and RRT-free days. However, early RRT initiation was associated with more adverse events. CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggested that early RRT initiation was not associated with survival benefits or better clinical outcomes and increased the risk of RRT-associated adverse events. Current evidence does not support the use of early RRT for AKI patients without urgent indications.

[Research progress on the structure and innervation of extraocular muscles].

In addition to the abnormalities of the extraocular muscles themselves and the nervous system innervating the extraocular muscles, the tissue pulley abnormalities around the extraocular muscles may lead to the occurrence of strabismus. In recent years, researchers have shown the intramuscular nerve distribution of the extraocular muscles using the Sihler technique. With the continuous progress of imaging technology, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, anterior segment optical coherence tomography and ultrasound biomicroscopy can be used to observe the attachment sites of the extraocular muscles. This review summarizes the latest research progress on the neuroanatomy of the extraocular muscles, in order to provide reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of strabismus.

Quality improvement of prerigor salted ground chicken breast with basic amino acids at low NaCl level.

The prerigor salting effect is known to provide superior meat processing quality. Based on the urgent need for low salt meat products, the present study was undertaken to evaluate the prerigor salting effect when basic amino acids were introduced at 1% NaCl level. Ground chicken breast meat was salted with NaCl and basic amino acids at 30 min, 60 min, and 90 min postmortem for prerigor treatments. Compared to the 1% NaCl (w/w) treatment, the introduction of 0.06% basic amino acids (w/w) in the prerigor significantly led to an increase in myofibril fragmentation, myofibrillar protein solubility, emulsion activity, storage modulus change rate, gel water-holding capacity and hardness (P < 0.05). Furthermore, smaller and more uniformly sized droplets were produced in emulsion by basic amino acids. Individual basic amino acids had different prerigor salting effects, and it was indicated that basic amino acids could play a positive role in the prerigor salting effect when NaCl was reduced.

Comparison of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography combined with laparoscopic cholecystectomy for patients with gallbladder and common bile duct stones a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) combined with laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) to determine which one provides a better outcome for patients with gallbladder and common bile duct stones. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An electronic literature search was undertaken using Embase, Medline, PubMed, and Cochrane Library databases up to April 2022. For quality assessment of included studies, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were assessed by utilizing the Jadad scale. The primary outcome includes surgical success rate, retained stone rate, stone clearance rate, major morbidity, and mortality. The second outcome includes conversion to open surgery rate, postoperative pancreatitis, bile leakage, cholangitis, hemorrhage, pneumonia, and surgical-site infection. RESULTS: 14 randomized controlled trials with 2,181 patients were included. No significant difference was seen between the two groups in terms of surgical success, stone clearance, retained stones, operation time, and total morbidity. LC-LCBDE had higher rate of bile leakage [relative risk (RR): 4.52; 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.19-9.31] and lower rate of postoperative pancreatitis (RR: 0.25; 95% CI: 0.13-0.46), cholangitis (RR: 0.17; 95% CI: 0.05-0.67), and hemorrhage (RR: 0.18; 95% CI: 0.07-0.42). CONCLUSIONS: Both LC+LCBDE and LC+ERCP are safe, effective, and minimal-invasive treatments for concomitant gallbladder and CBD stones. LC-LCBDE was associated with comparable effects compared with LC+ERCP in terms of surgical success rate, stone clearance rate, retained stones rate, operation time, and total morbidity. At the same time, LC-LCBDE had a higher rate of bile leakage and a lower rate of postoperative pancreatitis, cholangitis, and hemorrhage.

[Progress of clinical application in extraocular muscle transposition].

Extraocular muscle transposition, including adjacent extraocular muscle transposition and transmuscular transposition, is often used to correct different types of strabismus, especially special forms of strabismus, instead of conventional surgery, which could not correct large-angle strabismus or improve the eye movement function. With the popularity of individualized surgical schemes, various types of extraocular muscle transposition procedures are available. In this article, the research progress of extraocular muscle transposition in the treatment of strabismus is reviewed, and the indications, advantages and disadvantages of various extraocular muscle transposition procedures are discussed, so as to provide reference for clinicians to further understand and reasonably carry out the treatment.

[Discrepancy between behavioral-indicated and perceived candidacy for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis among men who have sex with men in Chengdu, China].

OBJECTIVE: To explore the discrepancy between behavioral-indicated candidacy and perceived candidacy (behavioral-perceived gap) and its associated factors of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among men who have sex with men (MSM), so as to identify the focus population of PrEP interventions and to design and implement targeted interventions. METHODS: We recruited a sample of 622 HIV-negative MSM who were regular clients of a community-based organization located in Chengdu, China, from November to December 2021. A cross-sectional questionnaire was used to collect the participants' information on social demographics, PrEP-related knowledge and cognitions, and risk behaviors. In this study, behaviorally eligible for PrEP was defined as performing at least one type of high-risk behavior in the past six months, including inconsistent condom use, sex with an HIV-positive partner, confirmed sexual transmitted infections (STI) diagnosis, substance use, and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) experience. Logistic regression models were fitted, and multivariate analyses were adjusted for social demographics. RESULTS: Among the 622 eligible participants, 52.6% (327/622) were classified as behaviorally eligible for PrEP. Only 37.9% (124/327) of the participants perceived themselves as appropriate candidates for PrEP and 62.1% (203/207) had discrepancy between behavioral-indicated and perceived candidacy. 85.9% (281/327) had heard of PrEP, and 14.2% (40/281) accessed PrEP information through health care providers. Of the 327 participants eligible for behavior-indicated PrEP use, about half (47.1%) knew how to obtain PrEP medication and 33.0% had a professional PrEP counseling experience. The majority (93.3%) had no or few friends using PrEP. 54.1% scored eight or above in PrEP knowledge level. 66.7% reported having two or more sexual partners in the past six months. After adjusting for age and recruitment channel, we found six factors that were associated with perceived candidacy for PrEP, including PEP use [adjusted odds ratio (ORA)=2.20; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.33-3.63], PrEP availability (ORA=1.69; 95%CI: 1.06-2.68), a greater number of PrEP-using friends (ORA=4.92; 95%CI: 1.77-13.65), PrEP know-ledge (ORA=2.21; 95%CI: 1.38-3.56), multiple sexual partnership (ORA=1.77; 95%CI: 1.07-2.94), and perceiving a higher risk of HIV infection (ORA=4.02; 95%CI: 1.73-9.32). Substance use during sex and PrEP information channel were not statistically associated with this beha-vioral-perceived gap. CONCLUSION: We observed a high discrepancy between behavioral-indicated and perceived candidacy for PrEP among Chengdu MSM in China. Future PrEP implementation efforts should be made in skills training in assessing HIV infection risk, increasing PrEP knowledge, providing professional PrEP counselling, and fostering PrEP support environment.

[Investigate of the etiology and prevention status of liver cirrhosis].

Objective: To investigate the etiology, prevention and treatment status, and their corresponding regional differences of the patients with liver cirrhosis in China, in order to provide scientific basis for the development of diagnosis and control strategies in China. Methods: Clinical data of patients diagnosed with liver cirrhosis for the first time through January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020 from 50 hospitals in seven different regions of China were collected and analyzed retrospectively, and the difference of etiology, treatment, and their differences in various regions were analyzed. Results: A total of 11 861 cases with liver cirrhosis were included in the study. Thereinto, 5 093 cases (42.94%) were diagnosed as compensated cirrhosis, and 6 768 cases (57.06%) had decompensated cirrhosis. Notably, 8 439 cases (71.15%) were determined as chronic hepatitis B-caused cirrhosis, 1 337 cases (11.27%) were alcoholic liver disease, 963 cases (8.12%) were chronic hepatitis C, 698 cases (5.88%) were autoimmune liver disease, 367 cases (3.09%) were schistosomiasis, 177 cases (1.49%) were nonalcoholic fatty liver, and 743 cases (6.26%) of other types of liver disease. There were significant differences in the incidence of chronic hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis C, alcoholic liver disease, fatty liver, schistosomiasis liver disease, and autoimmune liver disease among the seven regions (P<0.001). Only 1 139 cases (9.60%) underwent endoscopic therapy, thereinto, 718 cases (6.05%) underwent surgical therapy, and 456 cases (3.84%) underwent interventional therapy treatment. In patients with compensated liver cirrhosis, 60 cases (0.51%) underwent non-selective ß receptor blockers(NSBB), including 59 cases (0.50%) underwent propranolol and 1 case (0.01%) underwent carvedilol treatment. In patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis, 310 cases (2.61%) underwent NSBB treatment, including 303 cases (2.55%) underwent propranolol treatment and 7 cases (0.06%) underwent carvedilol treatment. Interestingly, there were significant differences in receiving endoscopic therapy, interventional therapy, NSBB therapy, splenectomy and other surgical treatments among the seven regions (P<0.001). Conclusion: Currently, chronic hepatitis B is the main cause (71.15%) of liver cirrhosis in several regions of China, and alcoholic liver disease has become the second cause (11.27%) of liver cirrhosis in China. The three-level prevention and control of cirrhosis in China should be further strengthened.

[The definition of "Hu-Chang" in Chinese external medicine].

The Hu-Chang theory is widely used in Chinese external medicine diagnosis and treatment, and it has been documented in many archives and recordings. However, its provenance and connotation were still confusing and unclear. It was believed that The Covert Prescription for External Medicine (Mi Chuan Wai Ke Fang) by Zhao Yizhen in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty was the earliest work with the use of provenance from the existing records of Hu-Chang. In terms of its connotation, it was believed by many scholars that the part of speech of Hu-Chang was an adjective-noun phrase, which means "defensive barrier", ie, "local swelling area in surgical disease". However, based on the textual research and analysis of relevant ancient documents, Hu-Chang should be a verb-object phrase, which means "the vital Qi prevents the diseased area from being infected or deteriorated". In this sense, the characteristic of Hu-Chang, the local swelling range of surgical diseases, can be named as "supervising and monitoring the field barrier".

[Association between response to repeated negative HIV testing and risk sexual behaviors in men who have sex with men in Chengdu].

Objective: To investigate the association between the response to repeated negative HIV testing and the risk sexual behaviors in men who have sex with men (MSM) in Chengdu. Methods: A total of 610 MSM were recruited by convenience sampling method through Chengdu Tongle Health Consultation Service Centre from March to May 2022. Data were collected from the MSM through questionnaire survey, including the demographic characteristics, sexual behaviors in the past 6 months, the response to rerpeated negative HIV testing. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were conducted to analyze the association between the response to repeated negative HIV testing and risk sexual behavior. Results: A total of 579 (94.9%) participants participated in the questionnaire survey and 354 (61.1%) subjects were included in the study.For the negative HIV testing, some MSM believed that they had taken effective protection measures (17.03±2.20), some believed that they were lucky (7.50±1.87) and some believed that they were at low risk (8.87±3.62). Multivariate logistic regression model showed that protected sexual behavior was negatively associated with group sex (aOR=0.80, 95%CI: 0.67-0.95), lucky was positively associated with casual sex (aOR=1.20, 95%CI: 1.06-1.35), inconsistent condom use (aOR=1.21, 95%CI: 1.06-1.37), group sex (aOR=1.26, 95%CI: 1.00-1.60), and multiple sexual partners (aOR=1.24, 95%CI: 1.09-1.42) and low risk perception was positively associated with multiple sexual partners only (aOR=1.08, 95%CI: 1.01-1.15). Conclusions: There were high levels of recognition of protected sexual behavior and lucky dimensions in response to repeated negative HIV testing and well risk perception in MSM in Chengdu. In HIV testing and counseling services, intervention and risk warning should be strengthened in MSM who believed that they are lucky to improve their awareness of safe sex and reduce the negative effects of fluke mind.

[Association between physical exercise and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in people infected with hepatitis B virus].

Objective: To investigate the association between physical exercise and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in people infected with HBV. Methods: The information about the 3 813 participants infected with HBV, including the prevalence of NAFLD, prevalence of physical exercise and other covariates, were collected from the National Science and Technology Major Project of China during 2016-2020. The logistic regression model was used to evaluate the association between physical exercise and NAFLD in HBV infected patients, and subgroup analysis was performed to identify the effect modifiers. Results: A total of 2 259 HBV infected participants were included in the final analysis and 454 (20.10%) had NAFLD. After adjusting for covariates, we found that moderate physical exercise was a protective factor for NAFLD (OR=0.66, 95%CI: 0.46-0.94). Subgroup analysis suggested that the protective effect of moderate physical exercise on NAFLD might be stronger in women (OR=0.61, 95%CI: 0.36-1.01), those <45 years old (OR=0.24, 95%CI: 0.06-0.80), those who had low education level (OR=0.16, 95%CI: 0.04-0.49), those who had low annual income (OR=0.39, 95%CI: 0.16-0.89 for <30 000 yuan RMB; OR=0.64, 95%CI: 0.40-1.00 for 30 000-80 000 yuan RMB), those who had hypertension (OR=0.45, 95%CI: 0.21-0.88), those with BMI ≥24.0 kg/m2 (OR=0.66, 95%CI: 0.43-1.01), those who had more daily fruit or vegetable intake (OR=0.61, 95%CI: 0.38-0.97), those who had more daily meat intake (OR=0.49, 95%CI: 0.23-0.97), and those who had no smoking history (OR=0.66, 95%CI: 0.45-0.95) or passive smoking exposure (OR=0.61, 95%CI: 0.37-0.97). Conclusions: Among HBV infected patients, moderate physical exercise was negatively associated with the prevalence of NAFLD. Women, young people, those who had low education level, those who had low annual income, those with hypertension, those with high BMI, those who had more daily fruit or vegetable and meat intakes, and those who had no smoking history or passive smoking exposure might be more sensitive to the protective effect.

[Effect of respiratory filter on pulmonary function in occupational health examination].

Objective: To explore the influence and significance of respiratory filter on the judgment of pulmonary function and the conclusion of occupational health examination in occupational health examination. Methods: From August to November 2020, 252 occupational health examinees were randomly selected as the research objects, and the lung function was examined with the respiratory filter bite and the straight cylinder bite without filter, respectively. The lung function examination indexes and the qualification rate of lung function examination were analyzed and compared between the two groups, and the diagnostic criteria of lung function examination was corrected. Results: 252 subjects were 36 (30, 42) years old. The qualified rate of lung function examination with respiratory filter bite (28.17%, 71/252) was lower than that with straight cylinder bite (34.92%, 88/252) , the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05) . The percentage of forced vital capacity in normal predicted value (FVC%) , percentage of forced expiratory volume in the first second in normal predicted value (FEV(1)%) , and percentage of forced expiratory volume in the first second in forced vital capacity (FEV(1)/FVC%) of subjects using respiratory filter bite were lower than those using the straight cylinder bite (P<0.05) . The corrected diagnostic criteria of pulmonary function were FVC%>78%, FEV(1)%>77%, FEV(1)/FVC%>68%. There was no significant difference between the qualified rate of the respiratory filter bite lung function test calculated according to the corrected diagnostic criteria (35.71%, 90/252) and the qualified rate of the straight cylinder bite lung function test calculated according to the original diagnostic criteria (34.92%, 88/252) (P>0.05) . Conclusion: In occupational health examination, the use of respiratory filter may affect the results of pulmonary function examination. The diagnostic criteria of pulmonary function can be corrected according to different filtering effects to ensure the accuracy of the conclusions of occupational health examination.
