Abstract
Objective: To understand and analyze the incidence of club drug abuse and influencing factors in men who have sex with men (MSM) in Qingdao, and provide reference for the AIDS prevention and intervention in this population. Methods: From March 2017 to July 31, 2022, MSM who did not abuse club drug were recruited by snowball sampling of MSM social organizations in Qingdao, a prospective cohort was established, and a follow-up survey was conducted every 6 months. The survey collected the information about the MSM's demographic characteristics, sexual characteristics, club drug abuse and others. The incidence of club drug abuse was the outcome dependent variable and the interval between the recruitment into the cohort and the incidence of club drug abuse was the time dependent variable. Cox regression analysis was conducted to identify the influencing factors for club drug abuse. Results: A total of 509 MSM were recruited at baseline survey, and 369 eligible MSM were enrolled in this cohort. A total of 62 MSM began to abuse club drug during the study period, and the cumulative follow-up time was 911.54 person-years, the incidence of club drug abuse was 6.80/100 person-years. All the club drug abusers shared drugs with others in the first club drug abuse, and 16.13% (10/62) had mix-use of club drugs. The multivariate Cox proportional risk regression analysis showed that being students (aHR=2.17, 95%CI: 1.15-4.10), receiving no HIV testing or receiving 1 HIV testing during past 6 months (aHR=4.57, 95%CI:1.80-11.60; aHR=5.15, 95%CI: 2.83-9.36), having sex only with regular sexual partners during past 6 months (aHR=4.75,95%CI:2.32-9.75), having more than 4 homosexual partners (aHR=1.70, 95%CI:1.01-2.87) and abuse of club drug of sexual partners during past 6 months (aHR=12.78, 95%CI:3.06-53.35) were significantly associated with club drug abuse in the MSM. Conclusions: The incidence of club drug abuse was at a high level in the MSM cohort in Qingdao, indicating a high risk for HIV infection. Being student, receiving less HIV testing, having sex only with regular sexual partners, having more homosexual partners and abuse of club drug of sexual partners during past 6 months were risk factors for the incidence of club drug abuse in the MSM. Targeted surveillance and intervention measures should be strengthened to reduce the risk of club drug abuse in MSM.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to find new protein biomarkers that could be used to detect hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the serum. We identified 11 proteins in the tissue that could be used to classify samples from HCC and control subjects. The 11 identified tissue biomarkers were combined with 10 commonly used serum HCC biomarkers for further verification in a large number of serum samples from HCC patients and healthy controls. 17 of the 21 prospective serum biomarkers were determined to be differentially expressed through collinearity and significance analysis. Through the method of supervised learning, a random forest model was constructed to reduce the dimensionality of the number of differentially expressed proteins, and finally, 4 differentially expressed proteins were identified: AFP, GDF15, CEACAM-1, and MMP-9, and suggested to have potential application in clinical diagnosis of HCC.

Abstract
The computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system can provide a reference basis for the clinical diagnosis of skin diseases. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can not only extract visual elements such as colors and shapes but also semantic features. As such they have made great improvements in many tasks of dermoscopy images. The imaging of dermoscopy has no principal orientation, indicating that there are a large number of skin lesion rotations in the datasets. However, CNNs lack rotation invariance, which is bound to affect the robustness of CNNs against rotations. To tackle this issue, we propose a rotation meanout (RM) network to extract rotation-invariant features from dermoscopy images. In RM, each set of rotated feature maps corresponds to a set of outputs of the weight-sharing convolutions and they are fused using meanout strategy to obtain the final feature maps. Through theoretical derivation, the proposed RM network is rotation-equivariant and can extract rotation-invariant features when followed by the global average pooling (GAP) operation. The extracted rotation-invariant features can better represent the original data in classification and retrieval tasks for dermoscopy images. The RM is a general operation, which does not change the network structure or increase any parameters, and can be flexibly embedded in any part of CNNs. Extensive experiments are conducted on a dermoscopy image dataset. The results show that our method outperforms other anti-rotation methods and achieves great improvements in skin disease classification and retrieval tasks, indicating the potential of rotation invariance in the field of dermoscopy images.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Cisplatin, one of the most potent anti-cancer chemotherapy drugs, is still broadly used in first-line chemotherapy regimens, which are subscribed to about 10 to 20% of total cancer patients. Nephrotoxicity is a particularly limiting factor for cancer patients to remain in the effective treatment due to the acute kidney injury. It has been reported that as early as 24 hours post treatment, testicular cancer patients receiving cisplatin developed endothelial dysfunction and vascular injury. A cross-sectional follow-up study published in 2008 suggested that testicular cancer survivors continued to experience endothelial dysfunction and vascular injury. A recent 30-year follow-up study on testicular cancer survivors suggested that testicular cancer survivors experienced worse diastolic function.
Purpose
This study is focused on identifying the specific genes altered in cardiac endothelial cells after the cisplatin treatment to unveil the molecular mechanisms of injury for potential new therapeutic development.
Methods
Cisplatin induced AKI mouse model was generated by i.p. injecting 25 mg/kg cisplatin to C57BL/6 mice. Saline injection was served as control. To evaluate blood vessel damage induced by cisplatin, mice were sacrificed 48 hours post injection. Hearts were collected and single cell suspensions were produced by using Multi Tissue Dissociation Kit 2. Freshly prepared single cell suspensions were used to created libraries by using 10X genomics kits, before sequencing. The CellRanger (10X genomics) was used for processing Single cell RNASeq outputs, before secondary Seurat and DE pathway analysis.
Results
The GO enrichment analysis suggested that, in endothelial cells, cisplatin treatment significantly altered cellular anatomical entity, intracellular anatomical structure, apical part of the cell, cell junction, and anchoring junction. Consequently, increased vascular permeability, signaling regulating monocyte differentiation, macrophage cytokine production, and cardiac muscle cell apoptosis were observed. At molecular level, cisplatin treatment significantly upregulated DNA damage (Ddit4, Acer2), hypoxia (Phlda3, Mt1, Slc3a2, Ier3, Klf9, Adipor2, UCP2), inflammatory responses (Timp4, Tns1, Gdf15, Neat1), cellular senescence (Cdkn1a), Cell cycle arrest (Trp53inpl), intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis (Fas, Bax, Ei24, Tgm2), blood vessel remodeling (Pim-3), and angiogenesis (Timp3, Flt1). These results indicated that cisplatin treatment likely not only result in acute endothelial dysfunction, injury, and death, but also accelerated aging, which could contribute the cardiovascular complications in the cancer survivors.
Conclusions
Protecting endothelial cells from oxidative stress and inflammation caused by cisplatin treatment might prevent their irreversible injury and entering into premature cellular senescence, consequently, mitigating anti-cancer treatment induced cardiovascular complications in cancer survivors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the expression of centromere protein U (CENPU) in colorectal cancer and its predictive value for long-term prognosis of the patients. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the data of 102 patients with colorectal cancer undergoing radical resection in our hospital between January, 2005 and December, 2011. The expression level of CENPU in colorectal cancer tissue was detected immunohistochemically, and its association with clinicopathological characteristics of the patients were analyzed. The patients were divided into low expression group (n=51) and high expression group (n=51) based on the median CENPU expression level for analysis the value of CENPU for predicting long-term prognosis of the patients after radical resection of the tumors. In the in vitro study, we constructed colorectal cancer cell lines with CENPU interference and CENPU overexpression by lentiviral transfection and assessed the changes in the proliferation, migration and invasion of the cells using CCK-8 assay and Transwell assay. RESULTS The protein expression level of CENPU was significantly higher in colorectal cancer tissues than in the adjacent tissues (P < 0.05) and was positively correlated with the expressions levels of Ki67 (r=0.569, P < 0.05) and VEGF-C (r=0.629, P < 0.05). CENPU expression level in colorectal cancer tissue was closely related with tumor progression and clinicopathological stage of the tumor (P < 0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the patients with high CENPU expression had significantly decreased postoperative overall survival (χ2=11.155, P < 0.05); Cox multivariate regression analysis suggested that CENPU expression level was an independent risk factor affecting the overall survival of the patients after radical resection (HR=1.848, P < 0.05). The results of cell experiments demonstrated that high CENPU expression significantly promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of the tumor cells. CONCLUSION CENPU is highly expressed in colorectal cancer tissues in closely correlation with tumor progression and may serve as a potential biomarker for evaluating the long-term prognosis of colorectal cancer patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To construct an adenovirus vector expressing artificial splicing factor capable of regulating alternative splicing of Yap1 in cardiomyocytes. METHODS The splicing factors with different sequences were constructed against Exon6 of YAP1 based on the sequence specificity of Pumilio1. The PCR fragment of the artificially synthesized PUF-SR or wild-type PUFSR was cloned into pAd-Track plasmid, and the recombinant plasmids were transformed into E. coli DH5α for plasmid amplification. The amplified plasmids were digested with Pac I and transfected into 293A cells for packaging to obtain the adenovirus vectors. Cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were transfected with the adenoviral vectors, and alternative splicing of YAP1 was detected using quantitative and semi-quantitative PCR; Western blotting was performed to detect the signal of the fusion protein Flag. RESULTS The transfection efficiency of the adenovirus vectors was close to 100% in rat cardiomyocytes, and no fluorescent protein was detected in the cells with plasmid transfection. The results of Western blotting showed that both the negative control and Flag-SR-NLS-PUF targeting the YAPExon6XULIE sequence were capable of detecting the expression of the protein fused to Flag. The results of reverse transcription-PCR and PCR demonstrated that the artificial splicing factor constructed based on the 4th target sequence of YAP1 effectively regulated the splicing of YAP1 Exon6 in the cardiomyocytes (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION We successfully constructed adenovirus vectors capable of regulating YAP1 alternative splicing rat cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
Nonsyndromic cleft palate only (NSCP) is a common congenital malformation worldwide. In this study, we report a three‐generation pedigree with NSCP following the autosomal‐dominant pattern. Whole‐exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing revealed that only the frameshift variant c.1012dupG [p. E338Gfs*26] in PARD3 cosegregated with the disease. In zebrafish embryos, ethmoid plate patterning defects were observed with PARD3 ortholog disruption or expression of patient‐derived N‐terminal truncating PARD3 (c.1012dupG), which implicated PARD3 in ethmoid plate morphogenesis. PARD3 plays vital roles in determining cellular polarity. Compared with the apical distribution of wild‐type PARD3, PARD3‐p. E338Gfs*26 mainly localized to the basal membrane in 3D‐cultured MCF‐10A epithelial cells. The interaction between PARD3‐p. E338Gfs*26 and endogenous PARD3 was identified by LC–MS/MS and validated by co‐IP. Immunofluorescence analysis showed that PARD3‐p. E338Gfs*26 substantially altered the localization of endogenous PARD3 to the basement membrane in 3D‐cultured MCF‐10A cells. Furthermore, seven variants, including one nonsense variant and six missense variants, were identified in the coding region of PARD3 in sporadic cases with NSCP. Subsequent analysis showed that PARD3‐p. R133*, like the insertion variant of c.1012dupG, also changed the localization of endogenous full‐length PARD3 and that its expression induced abnormal ethmoid plate morphogenesis in zebrafish. Based on these data, we reveal PARD3 gene variation as a novel candidate cause of nonsyndromic cleft palate only.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The spread of COVID-19 worldwide caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has necessitated efficient, sensitive diagnostic methods to identify infected people. We report on the development of a rapid 15-minute time-resolved fluorescent (TRF) lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for the quantitative detection of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein receptor-binding domain (S1-RBD). OBJECTIVES Our objective was to develop an efficient method of detecting SARS-CoV-2 within 15 min of sample collection. METHODS We constructed and evaluated a portable, disposable lateral flow device, which detected the S1-RBD protein directly in nasopharyngeal swab samples. The device emits a fluorescent signal in the presence of S1-RBD, which can be captured by an automated TRF instrument. RESULTS The TRF lateral flow assay signal was linear from 0 to 20 ng/ml and demonstrated high accuracy and reproducibility. When evaluated with clinical nasopharyngeal swabs, the assay was performed at >80% sensitivity, >84% specificity, and > 82% accuracy for detection of the S1-RBD antigen. CONCLUSION The new S1-RBD antigen test is a rapid (15 min), sensitive, and specific assay that requires minimal sample preparation. Critically, the assay correlated closely with PCR-based methodology in nasopharyngeal swab samples, showing that the detected S1-RBD antigen levels correlate with SARS-CoV-2 virus load. Therefore, the new TRF lateral flow test for S1-RBD has potential application in point-of-care settings.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the sensitization characteristics and change of major allergens in children from 2010 to 2020 in Beijing, so as to provide basis for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of allergic diseases in children. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the children who were suspected of allergic diseases and tested for serum immunoglobulin E (total IgE and specific IgE) in the children's Hospital Affiliated to the Capital Institute of Pediatrics from January 2010 to December 2020. A total of 45 746 children aged 0-17 years in Beijing were enrolled with a median (interquartile range) of 3.8 (2.5, 5.3) years. There were 28 918 boys (63.2%) and 16 828 girls (36.8%) and 14 984 cases (32.8%) in the infant group (<3 years old), 22 049 cases (48.2%) in the preschool group (3-6 years old), and 8 713 cases (19.0%) in the school-age group (6 years old and above). Immunocap allergen detection system (fluorescence enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) was used to detect and the characteristics and change trend of allergens during 11 years were statistically analyzed by Chi square test. Results: The top three positive rates of single food allergens sIgE were egg white 42.6% (2 788/6 577 tests), milk 38.4% (2 606/6 782 tests) and wheat 31.8% (1 417/4 449 tests), and the sequence of single inhaled allergens were Ragweed 42.6% (440/1 034 tests), Artemisia 38.4% (1 045/3 191 tests) and Alternaria alternata 31.3% (3 358/10 725 tests). The positive detection rates of egg white 47.0%(1 904/4 048 tests), milk 41.9%(1 769/4 226 tests) and wheat 33.9%(973/2 870 tests) in the infant group were the highest, and there have statistically significant(χ2=91.495, 73.907, 16.966, P<0.05). The positive rates of fx1 (22.5%, 121/537 tests), peanut (24.9%, 111/446 tests), soybean (20.0%, 74/370 tests) and shrimp (7.48%, 44/588 tests) were the highest in the school-age group(χ²=14.436, 10.751, 11.569, 13.703, P<0.05). The most common inhaled allergens were Alternaria alternata (14.8%, 422/2 859 tests) in the infant group, Ambrosia (34.5%, 143/415 tests) and Alternaria alternata (33.5%, 1 762/5 254 tests) in the preschool group, while in the school-age group were Ambrosia (56.4%, 282/500 tests) and Artemisia (48.2%, 573/1 189 tests). The positive rates of egg white, milk, wheat, sesame seed and peanut varied from 2010 to 2020, showing a trend of falling first and then rising(χ²=10.293,χ²=12.066,χ²=7.402,χ²=32.458,χ2=31.747,P<0.05).The positive detection rates of soybean showed a significant downward trend (21.4%, 173/809 tests in 2010, 15.4%, 70/455 tests in 2020, χ²=6.751,P=0.009), while that of shrimp and crab were at a stable low level(χ²=0.263, 1.346;P>0.05). From 2010 to 2020, mold (26.7%, 1 066/3 998 tests in 2010, 40.2% 1 705/4 243 tests in 2020), grass pollen (19.8%, 259/1 308 tests in 2010, 39.3%, 1 472/3 746 tests in 2020), tree pollen(17%, 180/1 058 tests in 2010, 29.8%, 916/3 075 tests in 2020) and animal dander (18.5%, 111/601 tests in 2010, 26.6%, 672/2 522 tests in 2020) were all showed significant upward trend (χ²=168.600, 163.601, 65.931 and 17.271 respectively, P<0.001) but dust mites (30.7%, 1 270/4 132 tests in 2010, 26.7%, 1 126/4 221 tests in 2020) showed a significant downward trend(χ²=16.822,P<0.001).In 2010, the most common inhaled allergen was dust mite 30.7% (1 270/4 132 tests), followed by mold 26.7% (1 066/3 998 tests), while they were mold 40.2% (1 705/1 243 tests), and grass pollen 39.3% (1 472/3 746 texts) respectively in 2020. Conclusion: In the past 11 years, the main food allergens in children were still egg white and milk, wheat, but the mold and pollen gradually replaced dust mite as the most common inhaled allergen.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression of aldehyde dehydrogenase 3B1 (ALDH3B1) in gastric cancer and explore its correlation with the pathological parameters and long-term prognosis of the patients. METHODS We analyzed the clinical data of 101 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer in our hospital between January, 2013 and November, 2016, and examined the expression of ALDH3B1 in paraffin-embedded samples of gastric cancer tissues and adjacent tissues from these cases by immunohistochemical staining. We evaluated the correlation between ALDH3B1 expressions and histopathological parameters and assessed the predictive value of ALDH3B1 expression for long-term survival of the patients. We also examined the effect of lentivirus-mediated interference and overexpression of ALDH3B1 on the malignant behaviors of MGC-803 gastric cancer cells. RESULTS The expressions of ALDH3B1 and Ki67 were significantly higher in gastric cancer tissues than in adjacent tissues (P < 0.05). In gastric cancer patients, ALDH3B1 expression was positively correlated with peripheral blood CEA and CA19-9 levels (P < 0.01). The proportion of patients with CEA ≥5 μg/L, CA19-9 ≥37 kU/L, T stage of 3- 4, and N stage of 2-3 was significantly greater in high ALDH3B1 expression group than in low expression group. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the 5-year survival rate was significantly lower in gastric cancer patients with high ALDH3B1 expressions (P < 0.01). Univariate and Cox multiple regression analyses identified a high expression of ALDH3B1 (P < 0.05, HR= 0.231, 95% CI: 0.064-0.826), CEA≥5 μg/L (P < 0.01, HR=4.478, 95% CI: 1.530-13.110), CA19-9≥37 kU/L (P < 0.01, HR=3.877, 95% CI: 1.625-9.247), T stage of 3-4 (P < 0.01, HR=4.953, 95% CI: 1.768-13.880), and N stage of 2-3 (P < 0.05, HR=2.152, 95% CI: 1.152-4.022) as independent risk factors affecting 5-year survival after radical gastrectomy. The relative ALDH3B1 expression level, at the cut-off point of 4.66, showed a sensitivity of 76.47% and a specificity of 76% for predicting 5-year postoperative death (P < 0.01). In the cell experiment, overexpression of ALDH3B1 obviously promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of MGC-803 cells. CONCLUSION As an independent risk factor affecting 5-year survival after radical gastrectomy, ALDH3B1 is highly expressed in gastric cancer and correlated with pathological parameters of the tumor, and a high ALDH3B1 expression may promote proliferation, invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer cells.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the safety and efficacy of combined left atrial appendage (LAA) and patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure in adult atrial fibrillation (AF) patients complicating with PFO. Methods: This study is a retrospective and cross-sectional study. Seven patients with AF complicated with PFO diagnosed by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in Zhoupu Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Medicine & Health Sciences from June 2017 to October 2020 were selected. Basic data such as age, gender and medical history were collected. The atrial septal defect or PFO occluder and LAA occluder were selected according to the size of PFO, the ostia width and depth of LAA. Four patients underwent left atrial appendage closure(LAAC) and PFO closure at the same time. PFO closure was performed during a one-stop procedure of cryoablation combined with LAAC in 2 patients. One patient underwent PFO closure at 10 weeks after one-stop procedure because of recurrent transient ischemic attack (TIA). All patients continued to take oral anticoagulants. TEE was repeated 8-12 weeks after intervention. In case of device related thrombus(DRT), TEE shall be rechecked 6 months after adjusting anticoagulant and antiplatelet drug treatment. Patients were follow-up at 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 months by telephone call, and the occurrence of cardio-cerebrovascular events was recorded. Results: Among the 7 patients with AF, 2 were male, aged (68.0±9.4) years, and 3 had a history of recurrent cerebral infarction and TIA. Average PFO diameter was (3.5±0.8)mm. Three patients were implanted with Watchman LAA occluder (30, 30, 33 mm) and atrial septal defect occluder (8, 9, 16 mm). 2 patients were implanted with LAmbre LAA occluder (34/38, 18/32 mm) and PFO occluder (PF1825, PF2525). 2 patients were implanted with LACbes LAA occluder (24, 28 mm) and PFO occluder (PF2525, PF1825) respectively. The patients were followed up for 12 (11, 24) months after operation. TEE reexamination showed that the position of LAA occluder and atrial septal defect occluder or PFO occluder was normal in all patients. DRT was detected in 1 patient, and anticoagulant therapy was adjusted in this patient. 6 months later, TEE showed that DRT disappeared. No cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events occurred in all patients with AF during follow-up. Conclusions: In AF patients complicated with PFO, LAAC combined with PFO closure may have good safety and effectiveness.

JDS COMMUNICATIONS 2022; 3:126-131.

Abstract
We monitored rumen function longitudinally in dairy cows using a 3-dimensional (3D) vision-based system. Rumen function was associated with feed changes and milk production. Early-spring grazing reduced rumen fill and milk fat content in cows. A cow with rumen dysfunction showed deviations in rumen motility in the 3D vision system.
A 3-dimensional (3D) vision-based system was previously designed to automatically estimate the rumen motility of individual cows. This longitudinal study aimed to explore the associations between 3D vision-based rumen function assessment and dairy cow feed changes and milk production on a commercial farm. The 3D vision system was attached to an automatic milking robot to estimate the ruminal contraction frequency and rumen fill in 42 lactating cows during each milking event for 66 d. Additionally, we collected data on milk production, milk composition, general health, and changes in feeding practices. The 3D vision system showed that half the cows displayed a drastic decrease in the estimated rumen fill when all cows began grazing. The grazing and decreased rumen fill were also associated with herd-level milk fat depression. Over the 66 d, one cow was detected with reduced milk production and suspected rumen dysfunction by the farmer. The 3D vision system, however, identified this cow as having sudden decreases in estimated ruminal contraction frequency and rumen fill 4 d before detection by the farmer. In this longitudinal study, the 3D vision-based rumen function assessment system showed potential as a useful management-supporting tool for dairy farmers. The system, however, requires further validation with more cows of various breeds and ages. We suggest validating the 3D vision system with rumen boluses, quantified adjustments in feeding practices, more cases with ruminal dysfunction, and systematic health assessments for future studies.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the effects of unsafe sexual behavior and sexual orientation on previous HIV testing and HIV testing willingness among college students in Harbin, to provide a theoretical basis for promoting and promoting HIV testing among them. Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was used to place the automatic vending machine of HIV urine test kit in 9 universities in Harbin from December 2017 to January 2018. The questionnaire star was used to design and recruit college students to carry out an anonymous online survey. The estimated sample size was 6 659. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the effects of unsafe sexual behavior and sexual orientation on previous HIV testing and HIV testing willingness among college students. WPS 2016 was used to sort out the database, and SPSS 21.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results: A total of 60 849 valid questionnaires were collected. 19.1% (11 189/58 605) of college students reported having sex. College students who used condoms correctly every time, occasionally or never during sex in the past six months 58.5% (6 206/10 603), 25.2%(2 669/10 603)and 16.3% (1 728/10 603), respectively. Heterosexuality, homosexuality and bisexuality accounted for 94.1% (54 393/57 823), 2.4% (1 369/57 823) and 3.5% (2 061/57 823), respectively. The HIV testing willingness of college students was 73.3% (44 572/60 849). The proportion of previous HIV testing was 10.3% (951/9 241). Results of the multivariate logistic analysis showed that compared with the college students who used condoms correctly whenever they had sex in the past six months, there was no significant difference in the proportion of previous HIV testing among college students who sometimes/occasionally used or never used condoms (OR=0.94,95%CI:0.69-1.29; OR=1.11,95%CI:0.73-1.67), but their willingness to HIV testing was lower (OR=0.79, 95%CI:0.71-0.89; OR=0.48, 95%CI:0.42-0.55); Compared with heterosexual college students, homosexual or bisexual college students have a higher proportion of previous HIV testing (OR=2.62, 95%CI:1.62-4.24; OR=2.04, 95%CI:1.25-3.32), but have lower HIV testing willingness (OR=0.76, 95%CI: 0.62-0.93; OR=0.64, 95%CI: 0.53-0.77). Conclusions: Unsafe sexual behavior existed among college students in Harbin, and college students with weak awareness of HIV prevention also have weak awareness of testing. Behavioral intervention should be strengthened and HIV testing promoted. Compared with heterosexuals, homosexual or bisexual college students had a higher proportion of previous HIV testing, but their willingness to test was lower. The HIV detection mode with better concealment, accuracy, and convenience should be promoted on the college's campus.
