Schistosoma sex-biased microRNAs regulate ovarian development and egg production by targeting Wnt signaling pathway.

Commun Biol

December 2024

Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital, Institute for Infectious Diseases and Vaccine Development, School of Medicine, Tongji University, Shanghai, China.

Adult Schistosoma produces a large number of eggs that play essential roles in host pathology and disease dissemination. Consequently, understanding the mechanisms of sexual maturation and egg production may open a new avenue for controlling schistosomiasis. Here, we describe that Bantam miRNA and miR-1989 regulate Wnt signaling pathway by targeting Frizzled-5/7/9, which is involved in ovarian development and oviposition.

Objective: Individuals from Black African and Black Caribbean communities (black communities) in the UK bear a disproportionate burden of HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), while exhibiting lower testing rates. The aim of the scoping review was to summarise interventions developed to increase HIV/STI testing among black communities in the UK and describe the facilitators and barriers that influence testing uptake in these populations, according to the Capability Opportunity Motivation Behaviour (COM-B) approach.

Methods: Six databases were systematically searched to identify quantitative, qualitative and mixed-method studies evaluating the effectiveness of HIV/STI testing interventions among black communities in the UK, published from 2000 onwards.

Beliefs and attitudes about men's alcohol-related sexual harassment and aggression (BAMASHA): Development and initial validation of a new scale.

Alcohol Clin Exp Res (Hoboken)

December 2024

Institute for Mental Health Policy Research, Campbell Family Mental Health Research Institute, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, London/Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Background: Men's perpetration of sexual violence (SV) toward women in drinking venues is a pervasive yet understudied phenomenon with significant downstream consequences for women. Although men's negative attitudes and beliefs toward women play an important role in SV, current attitude measures are limited in that they do not focus on SV specific to drinking contexts, thereby precluding understandings of SV in this context. As such, we developed and evaluated a measure of beliefs and attitudes about men's alcohol-related sexual harassment and aggression (BAMASHA) toward women in drinking venues to better understand this ubiquitous problem.

The sexual and reproductive health needs and preferences of youths in sub-Saharan Africa: A meta-synthesis.

PLoS One

December 2024

Division of Psychology and Mental Health and Manchester Centre for Health Psychology (MCHP), School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Biology Medicine and Heath, University of Manchester, Manchester, United Kingdom.

The sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs of youths in sub-Saharan Africa are not being fully met, as evidenced by high rates of unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections in this population. Understanding service needs and preferences of sub-Saharan African youths aged 10-24 years is critical for improving access and SRH outcomes and the focus of this systematic review of qualitative research. Four databases were searched with key words to identify relevant studies, supplemented by citation search, with an update in June 2023.

Few studies have demonstrated the interplay between human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), anal human papillomavirus (HPV), and anal microbiota, especially in persons living with HIV who are men who have sex with men. We, therefore, explored these interrelationships in a cohort of persons living with HIV, mainly comprising men who have sex with men. HPV genotyping using a commercial genotyping kit and ThinPrep cytology interpreted by Bethesda systems was performed on samples from 291 patients.
