ABSTRACT
Objective This present study was to examine the prevalence and determinants of one-night-stand behavior among young men who have sex with men (YMSM).Methods A total of 403 YMSM aged 16 to 25 were recruited through internet promotion,extending activity and HIV VCT in Wuhan.Data was gathered through anonymous questionnaire.Binary logistic regression was used to examine factors associated with one-night-stand behavior.Results Of the 398 YMSM,48.99％ (195/ 398) reported having had casual sex in the last 6 months.Of the ones having had casual sex,34.29％ (60/175) and 28.65％ (49/171) reported using condoms consistently during anal or oral sexual contacts,respectively.These figures were lower than those of YMSM not having casual sexual contacts [with anal sex as 49.08％ (80/163) and oral sex as 38.85％ (61/157)].76.80％ (149/194) of the YMSM reported having had multiple sexual partners,with the figure higher than those without [33.15％ (60/ 181)] (P＜0.01).Results from the logistic regression analysis showed that the following factors seemed to be associated with casual sex activities among YMSM,including:often using intemet,(OR=4.89,95％ CI:1.90-12.54),taking illegal drugs (OR=2.72,95％ CI:1.60-4.63).Conclusions YMSM who bad engaged in casual sex,practicing unprotected sex or having multiple sexual partners,were recognized as high risk population.Targeted intervention programs are needed to decrease the one-night-stand behavior.Internct intervention strategy seemed an important method to serve the purpose.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore therapeutic effect of rosuvastatin and atorvastatin treatment on levels of lipoprotein and inflammatory factors in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) .Methods :A total of 74 ACS patients , who were treated in our department of cardiology from Mar 2008 to Feb 2014 ,were selected .According to random number table ,they were randomly and equally divided into rosuvastatin group and atorvastatin group .Therapeutic effect on 24d after administration ,levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C) ,high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C) ,interleukin (IL)‐18 and C reactive protein (CRP) before and four weeks after treatment were compared between two groups .Results:On 24d after treatment ,total effective rat of rosuvastatin group was significantly higher than that of atorvastatin group (83.8% vs .75.7% , P< 0.05);after four‐week treatment , compared with atorvastatin group ,there were significant reductions in levels of LDL‐C [ (1. 8 ± 0. 2 ) mmol/L vs . (1.4 ± 0.1) mmol/L] ,IL‐18 [ (1.8 ± 0.2) vs .(1.4 ± 0.1)] and CRP [ (1.9 ± 0.3) pg/ml vs .(1.4 ± 0.2) pg/ml],andsignificantriseinHDL‐Clevel[(1.4±0.2)mmol/Lvs.(1.9±0.3)mmol/L]inrosuvastatingroup,P<0.05 all .Conclusion:Rosuvastatin therapy can achieve better adjusting lipid and anti‐inflammation effect than those of atorvastatin in patients with acute coronary syndrome ,which is worth clinical extending .
