Objective: To analyze the situation of sexual behavior in urban and rural Chinese high school students, and to make suggestions for providing appropriate sexual education in the future.

Methods: An anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted in 224 770 high school students selected by using multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method in 28 provincial units of China.

Results: Overall, 5.9% high school students reported that they had had sexual intercourses, and the prevalence rate of having had sexual intercourses was higher in the urban students (6.2%) than in the rural (5.2%) students (χ(2)=83.290, P<0.01), and higher in the boys (8.8%) than in the girls (3.3%, χ(2)=2 944.456, P<0.01). Of all the subjects, 44.6% reported that they had forced sex; the prevalence rates were 43.5% and 47.5% in the urban and rural students (χ(2)=16.237, P<0.01), respectively, and lower in the boys (39.7%) than in the girls (55.8%, χ(2)=285.089, P<0.01). Boys, higher grades, vocational schools, living without their parents and in areas of West China were found to be the risk factors to sexual intercourses in the urban and rural students. The pattern of forced sexual intercourses was slightly different between the urban and rural students, however, girls, ordinary schools, living without their parents and in areas of West China were the risk factors.

Conclusion: Sexual education should be taken as soon as possible by using scientific as well as systematic methods in the occupational school students, and students living without their parents and in areas of West China.

Efficient and accurate drug-target affinity (DTA) prediction can significantly accelerate the drug development process. Recently, deep learning models have been widely applied to DTA prediction and have achieved notable success. However, existing methods often encounter several common issues: first, the data representations lack sufficient information; second, the extracted features are not comprehensive; and third, most methods lack interpretability when modeling drug-target binding.

The P2YR is activated by UDP and UDP glucose and is involved in many human inflammatory diseases. Based on the molecular docking analysis of currently reported P2YR antagonists and the crystallographic overlap study between PPTN and compound , a series of 3-substituted 5-amidobenzoate derivatives were designed, synthesized, and identified as promising P2YR antagonists. The optimal compound (methyl 3-(1-benzo[]imidazol-2-yl)-5-(2-(-tolyl) acetamido)benzoate, IC = 0.

White adipose tissue (WAT) comprises a plethora of cell types beyond adipocytes forming a regulatory network that ensures systemic energy homeostasis. Intertissue communication is facilitated by metabolites and signaling molecules that are spread by vasculature and nerves. Previous works indicated that WAT responds to environmental cues by adapting the abundance of these "communication routes", however, high intra-tissue heterogeneity questions the informative value of bulk or single cell analyses and underscores the necessity of whole-mount imaging.
