BackgroundThe growing HIV epidemic among student men who have sex with men (MSM) necessitates immediate attention from public health.In China, male students who have sex with men (SMSM) were also at an increasing risk of HIV transmission.The aim of this study was to investigate the trends in HIV prevalence, HIV-related risk behaviors, and HIV testi
Prognostic Implication of Adrenocortical Response during the Course of Critical Illness
Background Critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency (CIRCI) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-cortisol dissociation are hormonal conditions frequently observed in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU).The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between ACTH-cortisol dissociation and clinical outcomes of critically il
Development of anti-foulant ultraviolet-assisted polyvinyl alcohol layer on the polysulfone-based nanohybrid membrane for industrial rubber wastewater decontamination
Introduction: Membrane fouling has been reported to be one of the bottlenecks of membrane technologies for wastewater treatment.To mitigate its negative impacts, we fabricated polysulfone membrane (PSf) composites made of silica (SiO2) and graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles that modified with ultraviolet (UV)-assisted polyvinyl alcohol layer on the
