ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate whether trajectory model can be used to explore the trend of anal human papillomavirus (HPV) infection status among HIV-negative men who have sex with men (MSM).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>HIV-negative MSM were recruited by using the "snowball" method from 1st September 2016 to 30th September 2017 in Urumqi. The subjects were followed-up every six months since enrollment. The cell samples in anal canal were collected and the 37-type HPV test kits were used for identification and classification of HPV infection at both baseline and follow-up visits. Taking the cumulative number of different types of HPV as the dependent variable and follow-up visits as the independent variable, the trajectory model was established for the study subjects who completed baseline, 6 months and 12 months follow-up. The model was used to simulate the trend of HPV infection status when the subjects were divided into 1, 2, 3 and 4 subgroups. Bayesian information criterion (BIC), log Bayes factor and average posterior probability (AvePP) were used to evaluate the fitting effect.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>A total of 400 HIV-negative MSM were recruited at baseline and 187 subjects completed baseline and two follow-ups. The fitting effect attained best when the variation trend was divided into two subgroups. The first subgroup accounted for 54.5%(102/187) of the total, and the curve of change in HPV infection was decreasing; the second subgroup accounted for 45.5%(85/187) of the total, and the curve of change in HPV infection was increasing.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Trajectory model can effectively distinguish the trend of HPV infection status in HIV-negative MSM to identify the high-risk group of HPV infection.</p>

Objective@#To investigate the clinical characteristics of early term and full term neonates, and analyze the risk factors associated with short term outcomes in early term neonates.@*Method@#Neonates with birth weight (BW) ≥2 500 g from year 2013 were analyzed retrospectively based on American Congress of Obstericians & Gynecologists (ACOG) latest definition of term infants. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, early term (gestational age 37-38 weeks) and full term(gestational age 39-40 weeks) neonates were included, whose morbidity constituent proportion was analyzed by χ2 test or Fisher accuracy test or t test or Wilcoxon test. Risk factors associated with short term outcomes in early term population were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis.@*Result@#There were 3 002 discharged term infants being investigated, among whom 1 303 cases were included(768 males and 535 females), and 37, 38, 39 and 40 weeks′ gestational age newborns were 160, 324, 450 and 369 respectively. Compared with full term neonates(n=819), early term neonates (n=484) had longer length of hospital stay (LOS)(6.0(5.0, 9.0) vs. 6.0(4.0, 8.0), Z=2.830, P=0.005), higher usage rate of intravenous antibiotics(86.4%(418/484) vs. 80.1%(656/819), χ2=8.009, P=0.005), higher assisted ventilation rate(9.5%(46/484) vs. 2.9%(24/819), χ2=25.528, P<0.01), higher pulmonary surfactant administration rate(4.3%(21/484) vs. 1.1%(9/819), χ2=14.006, P<0.01), as well as higher hypoglycemia incidence(3.9%(19/484) vs. 1.2%(10/819), χ2=10.226, P=0.001). There were no statistically significant differences in 1 min Apgar score (9(9, 10)vs. 9(9, 10), Z=0.860, P=0.390), 5 min Apgar score (10(9, 10) vs. 10(9, 10), Z=0.810, P=0.418), white blood cell count (15 (11, 21) ×109 /L vs.15 (11, 22) ×109 /L, Z=0.880, P=0.379), hemoglobin count(180 (159, 205) vs. 182 (160, 204) g/L, Z=0.560, P=0.576), or platelet count(303(234, 372) ×109/L vs. 301(237, 391) ×109/L, Z=0.550, P=0.584). BW between 2 500 g and 2 999 g(OR 1.69, 95% CI: 1.10-2.62, χ2 =5.614, P=0.018), wet lung(OR=2.61, 95% CI: 1.61-4.24, χ2=15.023, P=0.000)and pneumonia(OR 1.88, 95% CI: 1.14-3.08, χ2=6.192, P=0.013) were risk factors in early term neonates′ short term adverse outcomes.@*Conclusion@#Early term newborns are still at their "immature" state, and respiratory disorders are major risk factors associated with short term outcomes. Hence, early delivery during 37-38 weeks should be avoided as possible as we can.
ABSTRACT
The brain of neonates is growing and developing rapidly in perinatal period.Treatments in this period can have a direct or indirect effect on the developing brain.Steroids,indomethacin,magnesium sulphate,hypothermia,caffeine citrate,exogenous surfactant,nitric oxide,erythropoietin are common treatments administered during perinatal period.All those treatments are closely related to neurodevelopmental outcomes.We review these treatments on the developing brain.
ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the human papilloma virus (HPV) infection status in men who have sex with men (MSM) recruited from gay bathhouses and HIV voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) clinics in Urumqi,Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region,and identify the associated risk factors.Methods A total of 200 MSM aged ≥≥ 18 years were recruited by using the "snowballing" sampling method from gay bathhouses and VCT clinics in Urumqi during March-May,2016.The MSM recruited completed questionnaires after filling in the informed consent form.The information about their demographic characteristics and sexual behaviors were collected,and anal swabs were collected from them for HPV genotyping.Results The overall HPV infection rate was 54.0％.The HPV infection rate was 66.7％(74/111) in MSM from gay bathhouses and 38.2％(34/89) in MSM from VCT clinics and the high risk type HPV infection rate was 39.6％ (44/111) in MSM from gay bathhouses and 14.6％(13/89) in MSM from VCT clinics,the differences were significant (x2=16.112,P＜0.05;x2=15.190,P＜0.05).Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that the major risk factors for HPV infection included activity in gay bathhouse (OR=3.732,95％CI:1.950-7.141) and anal sexual behavior (OR=2.555,95％ CI:1.329-4.912).Conclusion The prevalence of HPV in MSM from gay bathhouses was higher than that in MSM from VCT clinics,indicating that close attention should be paid to the behavior intervention in MSM.
