ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate nPEP willingness and uptake among MSM in Shanghai. Methods MSM were recruited through a NGO-based HIV voluntary counseling testing clinic and several virtual communities using snowball sampling. Results A total of 606 MSM were successfully recruited in which 82.8% (502/606) had heard of nPEP and 81.2% (492/606) were willing to use nPEP. MSM who had been diagnosed with sexually transmitted diseases (STD) were more likely to hold willingness in using nPEP. High cost was the most common reason for being unwilling to use nPEP. 9.9% (60/606) had used nPEP in which 51.7% (31/60) had used twice or more, and 50%(30/60) had missed medication in the last nPEP. MSM who were heterosexual or with other sex orientations except for being bisexuality (OR=2.943, 95%CI: 1.057‒8.191), being receptor in anal intercourse (OR=3.361, 95%CI: 1.552‒7.282), having 2 or more sexual partners in the last 30 days (OR=2.242, 95%CI: 1.225‒4.105), having been diagnosed with STI (OR=2.317, 95%CI: 1.223‒4.389), and using drugs (OR=2.177,95%CI: 1.052‒4.503) were more likely to use nPEP. Conclusion MSM in Shanghai have a relatively high willingness to use and uptake of nPEP. Comprehensive strategies need to be developed on improving adherence and reducing HIV-risk behaviors.

ABSTRACT

Background: Factors influencing acceptance of cervical cancer services are being investigated, and widely reported to be quite low. However, there is dearth of research investigation on the odds of women’s acceptance of this gynaecological service. Objective of this study was to investigates the odds of unwilling to accept cervical cancer services.Methods: The study was a questionnaire-based cross-sectional survey and fourth piece in a series of analysis. Details of data collection are as previously described. Odds ratio was determined using online calculator; and based on proportion of respondents who have accepted the cervical cancer service, willing to complete an incomplete process and encourage others to take up the procedure.Results: The percentage of respondents who indicated no problem with HPV vaccination (55%) is higher than cervical screening (53%), but not statistically significantly different. On average, unwillingness to vaccinate later, complete their vaccinations or encourage their daughter are one-third of those who vaccinated. Those unwilling to take up cervical screening, encourage others to screen or overcome their fears are more than (161%) the subgroup who have been screened. Results show odds of unwillingness for both procedures are less than 1, but a little greater for cervical screening.Conclusions: It has been articulated that the likelihood to take up cervical cancer services will be influenced by the beliefs. This report advances that observed low acceptance level does not translate to high likelihood of unwillingness to accept the gynaecological services. Belief and nature of work of women need to be concertedly investigated.

ABSTRACT

Objective To understand the willingness to receive human papillomawrus (HPV) vaccination of men who have sex with men (MSM) and the male clients of sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics and related factors in China.Methods MSM were enrolled from the community through snowball sampling and male clients of STD clinics were enrolled from a sexual health clinic through convenience sampling in Wuxi,China.A questionnaire survey on the subjects' socio-demographic characteristics and the awareness of HPV was conducted.Results A total of 186 MSM and 182 STD clients were recruited.The awareness rates of HPV were 18.4% and 23.1%,respectively and the awareness rates of HPV vaccination were 10.2% and 15.4%,respectively.STD clinic clients (70.9%) were more likely to receive HPV vaccination than MSM (34.9%) (x2=47.651,P<0.01).Only 26.2% of MSM and 20.2% of STD clinic clients were willing to receive free HPV vaccination before the age of 20 years.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that MSM who had passive anal sex (OR=2.831,95% CI:1.703-13.526),MSM who never used condom in anal sex in the past 6 months (OR=3.435,95%CI:1.416-20.108),MSM who had been diagnosed with STDs (OR=1.968,95%CI:1.201-8.312) and STD clinic clients who had commercial sex with females in the past 3 months (OR=1.748,95% CI:1.207-8.539),STD clinic clients who never used condom in commercial sex in the past 3 months (OR=1.926,95%CI:1.343-5.819) and STD clinic clients who had been diagnosed with STDs in past 12 months (OR=2.017,95%CI:1.671-7.264) were more likely to receive free HPV vaccination.Conclusion Sexually active MSM and male clients in STD clinics in China had lower awareness of the HPV related knowledge.Their willing to receive HPV vaccination were influenced by their behavior related factors.It is necessary to strengthen the health education about HPV and improve people's awareness of HPV vaccination.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the relationship of psychological flexibility and the anxiety ,depression in ischemic cerebrovas‐cular disease (ICVD) patients .Methods Two hundred cases of ischemic cerebrovascular disease were collected ,and their anxiety and depression level and psychological flexibility were measured by self‐evaluation of anxiety scale (SAS) ,self‐evaluation of depres‐sion scale (SDS) ,acceptance and action questionnaire‐Ⅱ (AAQ‐Ⅱ ) and cognitive fusion questionnaire (CFQ ) .According to the test results ,the patients with anxiety and depression were divided into different degree :degrees :normal ,mild ,moderate or severe . Results The AAQ‐Ⅱ and CFQ of the patients with anxiety depression were significantly higher than normal emotional ICVD pa‐tients (P<0 .01);there were statistical significance in the difference of the level of AAQ‐Ⅱ and CFQ and the degree of anxiety and depression in these patients (P<0 .01);the level of AAQ‐Ⅱ and the degree of anxiety depression was positively correlated (r=0 .778 ,P<0 .01 ;r=0 .759 ,P<0 .01);the level of CFQ and the degree of anxiety depression was positively correlated (r=0 .785 , P<0 .01 ;r=0 .774 ,P<0 .01);with SAS ,SDS ,as dependent variable ,the AAQ‐Ⅱ ,CFQ as independent variables ,through multiple linear regression analysis ,suggested that psychological flexibility was the impact factor of anxiety depression .Conclusion For pa‐tients with ICVD ,psychological flexibility is closely related to the degree of anxiety depression .Psychological flexibility is one of the predictor of anxiety depression .

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Coronary artery anomalies are found in approximately 1% of patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography (CAG). Angiographic recognition of these vessels is important because of their clinical significance and importance in patients undergoing coronary angioplasty or cardiac surgery. There are fairly enough reports concerning the incidence of coronary anomalies in different geographic areas, but this is the first study among the Iranian population. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We reviewed the database of the Catheterization Laboratory of Imam Reza and Shahid Madani Hospitals, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Iran. Our inquiry included all patients who referred for CAG from other hospitals, between February 2007 and April 2009. Patients with congenital heart diseases, high "take off" of coronary arteries and separate origin of the conus artery from the right coronary sinus (RCS) were excluded. In total, 6065 films were reviewed. RESULTS: Seventy nine (1.30%) patients were found to have coronary anomalies. Seventy five (1.24%) patients had anomalies of origin and distribution, while four (0.06%) had coronary artery fistulae. Most common anomaly was separate ostia of the left anterior descending artery and left circumflex artery, which was found in 42 patients (53.16%) with angiographic incidence of 0.69%. The next most common anomalies were anomalous circumflex artery from RCS/right coronary artery (RCA) {n=17 (21.51%)}, and anomalous RCA arising from left coronary sinus {n=6 (7.59%)}. CONCLUSION: In general, the incidence and pattern of coronary anomalies in our study was similar to earlier reports from different parts of the world.
