PurposeThis study aims to address the existing data gap regarding the status of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection and the distribution of HR-HPV subtypes among women in rural areas of Nyingchi City, Tibet. The research objectives include providing insights for HPV vaccine development.MethodsThe research collected data from two rounds of cancer screening conducted among rural women in Nyingchi City, Tibet, from 2019 to 2022. HR-HPV subtype gene detection was performed using the PCR fluorescence method on the collected samples. And then analyzed the HR-HPV infection rate among rural women in Nyingchi City, Tibet, as well as the infection rate of different HR-HPV subtypes and their distribution across different age groups. A comparison was made between the infection rates of women in rural areas outside the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and those in Nyingchi City.ResultsA total of 15,687 cases included. The overall HR-HPV infection rate among women in rural areas of Nyingchi City, Tibet, was 13.00% (2040/15,687), which was significantly higher than the rate among women in rural areas outside the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (7.82% (9,249/118,237); χ2 = 635.7, p &lt; 0.001). The highest HPV infection rate was observed in the 35–39 age group, with a rate of 15.31% (499/3260), which was significantly higher than the rate of 7.22% (1827/25,322) among women in the same age group in rural areas outside the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (χ2 = 253.00, p &lt; 0.001). The lowest HPV infection rate was found in the 50–54 age group, with a rate of 9.69% (246/2540), which was statistically different from the rate of 8.14% (1,604/19,698) among women in the same age group outside the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (χ2 = 17.68, p &lt; 0.001). The top three HR-HPV subtypes among women in rural areas of Nyingchi City, Tibet, were HPV52 (20.15%, 411/2040), HPV16 (12.45%, 254/2040), and HPV58 (11.96%, 244/2040). These findings align with the top three HR-HPV subtypes among women in rural areas outside the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Furthermore, the top three HR-HPV subtypes among women aged 35–39, 40–44, and 45–49 in rural areas of Nyingchi City, Tibet, were HPV52, HPV16, and HPV58. In conclusion, the HR-HPV infection rate among women in rural areas of Nyingchi City, Tibet, is significantly higher compared to women in rural areas outside the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with consistent patterns observed in the distribution of the top three HR-HPV subtypes between the two regions.

ObjectiveTo understand the satisfaction and the current status of the training of scientific research ability of Master of Public Health students in universities, analyze the influencing factors and explore their solutions, in order to provide reference for improving the scientific research ability of Master of Public Health students.MethodsA questionnaire was used to survey Master of Public Health students in nine universities. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and multifactor logistic regression.ResultsThe overall satisfaction self-rating score for research capacity of Master of Public Health students was (3.29 ± 0.87), with the highest score for mentor exchange (3.78 ± 0.81) and the lowest score for subsidized treatment (1.86 ± 0.96). Satisfaction with the practice unit and school dimensions was significantly lower than the mentor dimension. The length of practice in the practice unit, subsidy treatment, importance of research capacity development, development tendency, and current status of research were influential factors contributing to the difference in satisfaction with research capacity development of Master of Public Health students (P &lt; 0.05).ConclusionThe overall scientific training quality of Master of Public Health students is high, but there are still many aspects that need to be solved. Colleges and universities should join the funding system adapted to the practice process of Master of Public Health students and guarantee the construction of the system of student subsidy treatment. Secondly, they should strengthen the construction of public health supervisory team and improve the frequency and quality of scientific research exchanges between teachers and students. In addition, colleges and universities should improve the existing research incentives and policies, and adopt multiple forms and types of research incentives. Finally, colleges and universities should improve the research training system and the construction of research resources for Master of Public Health.
Exploring mental well-being, the emotional impact of visual impairment and experiences of prejudice and discrimination among adults from minority ethnic communities in the UK
Authors: Heinze Nikki , Castle Claire L. 
Published: September 2023

BackgroundVisual impairment (V.I.) has been associated with a negative impact on mental health outcomes, including a process of grief among those who lose their sight. Older adults with V.I. who had experienced discrimination have been found to be at increased risk of depression, loneliness, poorer life satisfaction and poorer quality of life. Adults from minority ethnic communities (MEC) may be at increased risk of V.I. and yet, research on the experiences of MEC adults with V.I. remains limited. This article forms part of a series which explores issues and status among MEC adults living with V.I. in the UK.MethodsA secondary analysis of V.I. Lives survey data was performed to explore mental well-being assessed by the short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being scale (SWEMWBS), the emotional impact of V.I., and prejudice and discrimination among a matched control sample of 77 MEC and 77 adults from white communities (WC). Participants were matched by age, gender, UK region and urban/rural setting. Subgroup analyses were also conducted for the two largest MEC subgroups, Asian (n = 46) and black participants (n = 22).ResultsThere were few statistically significant differences between the groups. MEC participants were significantly more likely than WC participants to rate emotional support to come to terms with their V.I. as important and to feel optimistic about their V.I. but they were significantly less likely to agree that they were receiving the level of emotional support they needed to get on with their life. Within the MEC group, participants from Asian communities had significantly poorer mental well-being, and they were also significantly more likely to agree that the general public were often prejudiced against people with V.I. and less likely to feel optimistic about their V.I. than black participants.ConclusionAlthough there were few statistically significant differences, participants from Asian communities were more likely to report poor mental and emotional well-being, and experiences of discrimination, than black and white participants. In contrast, participants from black communities fared the same as, or in some cases better than, white participants. Future research will need to confirm these findings and explore reasons for these.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to utilize a two-material decomposition to quantify bone marrow edema on a dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) scanner at the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine acute fractures in correlation with short tau inversion recovery (STIR) hyperintensity on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in comparison with the normal bone marrow.Materials and methodsThis retrospective institutional review board–approved study gathered patients over 18 years old who had acute cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spinal fractures scanned on a DECT scanner. Those who had a spinal MRI done with bone marrow STIR hyperintensity within 3 weeks of the DECT were included. The water (calcium) and fat (calcium) density (mg/cm3) measurements of the region of interest of the bone marrow were obtained at a normal anatomic equivalent site and at the fracture site where STIR hyperintensity was noted on MRI. A statistical analysis was performed using the paired t-test and Wilcoxon signed rank test (p &gt; 0.05).ResultsA total of 20 patients met the inclusion criteria (males n = 17 males, females n = 3). A total of 32 fractures were analyzed: 19 cervical and 13 thoracolumbar. There were statistically significant differences in the water (43 ± 24 mg/cm3) and fat (36 ± 31 mg/cm3) density (mg/cm3) at the acute thoracic and lumbar spine fractures in correlation with edema on STIR images (both paired t-test &lt;0.001, both Wilcoxon signed ranked test p &lt; 0.01). There were no significant differences in the water (−10 ± 46 mg/cm3) or fat (+7 ± 50 mg/cm3) density (mg/cm3) at the cervical spine fractures.ConclusionThe DECT two-material decomposition using water (calcium) and fat (calcium) analyses has the ability to quantify a bone marrow edema at the acute fracture site in the thoracic and lumbar spine.

Published: September 2023

BackgroundHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related stigma has been identified as one of the principal factors that undermines HIV prevention efforts and the quality of life of people living with HIV (PLWH) in many developing countries including Ghana. While studies have been conducted on HIV-related stigma reduction, very few have sought the views of PLWH on how this might be done. The purpose of the study was to (i) identify factors that cause HIV-related stigma in Ghana from the perspective of PLWH, (ii) identify challenges that HIV-related stigma poses to the treatment and care of PLWH, and (iii) to obtain recommendations from PLWH on what they think various groups (community members, health care providers, and adolescents) including themselves should do to help reduce HIV-related stigma in Ghana.MethodsA mixed methods cross-sectional study design was used to collect data from 404 PLWH at the Suntreso Government Hospital in the Kumasi Metropolis of Ghana across six domains using Qualtrics from November 1–30, 2022. Quantitative data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 and the Statistical Analysis System (SAS) version 9.4. Qualitative data was analyzed using a thematic approach.ResultsMost of the study participants (70.5%) said HIV-related stigma in Ghana is due to ignorance. Of this population, 90.6% indicated that they had experienced stigma because they have HIV, causing them to feel depressed (2.5%), ashamed (2.2%), and hurt (3.0%). Study participants (92.8%) indicated that the challenges associated with HIV-related stigma has affected their treatment and care-seeking behaviors. Recommendations provided by study participants for HIV destigmatization include the need for PLWH not to disclose their status (cited 94 times), community members to educate themselves about HIV (96.5%), health care providers to identify their stigmatizing behaviors (95.3%), health care providers to avoid discriminating against PLWH (96.0%), and the need for adolescents to be educated on HIV and how it is transmitted (97.0%).ConclusionIt is important for the government and HIV prevention agencies in Ghana to target and address co-occurring HIV-related stigma sources at various levels of intersection simultaneously This will help to shift harmful attitudes and behaviors that compromise the health and wellbeing of PLWH effectively.
Canine ex vivo tarsal arthrodesis: fixation by using a new bone tissue glue
Authors: Lundin Tobias Per Otto , Pujari-Palmer Michael , Svensson Gustaf , Höglund Odd Viking 
Published: September 2023

IntroductionArthrodesis, performed as a salvage surgical procedure to treat intractable joint conditions in dogs and cats, is associated with a high incidence of complications intra and postoperative, proving the need for improved and new techniques in arthrodesis surgery. Adding a new resorbable bone glue to the arthrodesis could potentially add fixation strength and lower complications. The objectives of this experimental ex vivo biomechanical study were therefore to develop a biomechanical test model of partial tarsal arthrodesis and to determine whether the new resorbable bone glue (phosphoserine modified cement) produced measurable fixation strength in canine calcaneoquartal arthrodesis, without orthopedic implants.MethodsFour biomechanical test models with a total of 35 canine tarsal joints were used. Soft tissues were dissected to 4 different test models with variable contributions from soft tissues. The calcaneoquartal joint was prepared as in vivo arthrodesis and the glue was applied to joint surfaces as a liquid/putty (0.4 cc). After curing for 24 h, a shear force was applied to the joint (1 mm per minute) and the failure strength was recorded.ResultsCalcaneoquartal joints, where all soft tissues had been completely resected and fixated with glue (1–1.5 cm2 joint surface), withstood 2–5 mm of displacement and an average of 100 ± 58 N/cm2 of shear force (Model 1). Similar adhesive fixation strengths were obtained in Model 2 and 3 with increasing contributions from soft tissues (80 ± 44 and 63 ± 23 N/cm2, p = 0.39, ANOVA).ConclusionThe developed biomechanical model was sensitive enough to measure differences in fixation strengths between different glue formulations. The average fixation strength (60–100 N/cm2) should be strong enough to support short-term load bearing in medium sized canines (20 kg). The developed cadaver biomechanical test model is of potential use for other arthrodesis studies. The new resorbable glue can potentially contribute to stability at arthrodesis surgery, acting as a complement to today’s standard fixation, metal implants.

Published: September 2023

Text classification has been highlighted as the key process to organize online texts for better communication in the Digital Media Age. Text classification establishes classification rules based on text features, so the accuracy of feature selection is the basis of text classification. Facing fast-increasing Chinese electronic documents in the digital environment, scholars have accumulated quite a few algorithms for the feature selection for the automatic classification of Chinese texts in recent years. However, discussion about how to adapt existing feature selection algorithms for various types of Chinese texts is still inadequate. To address this, this study proposes three improved feature selection algorithms and tests their performance on different types of Chinese texts. These include an enhanced CHI square with mutual information (MI) algorithm, which simultaneously introduces word frequency and term adjustment (CHMI); a term frequency–CHI square (TF–CHI) algorithm, which enhances weight calculation; and a term frequency–inverse document frequency (TF–IDF) algorithm enhanced with the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) algorithm, which improves the algorithm’s ability of word filtering (TF–XGBoost). This study randomly chooses 3000 texts from six different categories of the Sogou news corpus to obtain the confusion matrix and evaluate the performance of the new algorithms with precision and the F1-score. Experimental comparisons are conducted on support vector machine (SVM) and naive Bayes (NB) classifiers. The experimental results demonstrate that the feature selection algorithms proposed in this paper improve performance across various news corpora, although the best feature selection schemes for each type of corpus are different. Further studies of the application of the improved feature selection methods in other languages and the improvement in classifiers are suggested.

Sur l’opposition et les liens entre non-violence et pacifisme
Authors: Devillard Jérôme 
Published: September 2023

La non-violence et le pacifisme sont deux doctrines au champ moral proche. Cependant, ces deux pensées, malgré une apparente concorde, peuvent également s’opposer. Qu’est-ce qui les rapproche et, a contrario,
qu’est-ce qui les éloigne ? Dans un premier temps, une analyse succincte, des convergences et divergences de la non-violence et du pacifisme permet d’aboutir à des considérations sur les liens entre ces deux doctrines. De ces dernières, il est tenté au cours d’une discussion de poser une hypothèse sur les raisons de la proximité ou de l’éloignement de ces deux grands courants de pensée afin de mieux comprendre leurs relations parfois ambiguës.
