Objeetive :
The epidemiological characteristics of confirmed cases of the 2019 novel coronavirus diseases (COVID-19) which was reported in Wenzhou by February 28,2020 were described and analyzed to provide evidence for prevention and control measures in next stage.
Methods:
The field investigation method was employed on all suspected and confirmed cases. The data of time,spatial and population distribution, source of infection and detective routes of all confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Wenzhou were collected and extracted from the reports of field investigation and the National Diseases Prevention and Control Information System.
Results:
As of February 20,2020,504 confirmed cases of COVID-19 were diagnosed in Wenzhou, which included one death case. Among all 13 counties, the highest number of confirmed cases were distributed in Yueqing,Ruian and Lucheng. Among 504 cases, the male to female ratio was reported as 1.14:1. The youngest case was 2 years old while the oldest case was 93 years old. Most of the confirmed cases were among people between the ages of 25 and 64 years old. The most common occupation of the confirmed cases was businessman,which accounts for 29.76% (150 cases). Clinical symptoms of the first confirmed case of COVID-19 in Wenzhou occurred on January 4, 2020. Approximately 70% of cases had the first symptoms from January 19 to February 1. The daily number of new cases on January 24 and January 26 were the highest while the number of new cases per day declined significantly after February 2, and there were no new cases after February 14. Among all confirmed cases, the infection source of 61.71% cases were related to Wuhan. As of February 20, 2020, a total of 79 clusters were reported in Wenzhou, which involved 330 cases. Approximately 30% of confirmed cases came to hospitals unaccompanied by community staffs, and cases which confirmed after February 13 were basically found in central isolation locations or by grid checkers.
Conclusions
The main reason for the high case numbers of COVID-19 in Wenzhou, in Zhejiang province, was the high number of wenzhou citizens who work in Wuhan. Imported cases account for the most confirmed cases during the early period, while mainly confirmed cases were local cases during the middle and late periods. The outcomes suggest the prevention and control measures employed by Wenzhou government, which included closed-loop control and quantitative control, have achieved remarkable results and the epidemic of COVID-19 in Wenzhou has been initially controlled.

Objective:To investigate the pathogenic factors of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) in occupational women of childbearing age and the prognostic value of interferon-γ (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL)-2.Methods:184 patients from the Meishan Maternal and Child Health Hospital from June 2016 to June 2017 in the gynaecological clinic were selected for research.The self-made general situation questionnaire was used to investigate the situation of the patients, and the vaginal secretions of the patients were sampled for microscopic examination to diagnose vulvovaginal candidiasis. According to the prevalence and recurrence of VVC, the patients were divided into recurrent group (42 cases), non recurrent group (55 cases) and non-VVC group (87 cases). Single factor analysis and multi factor logistic analysis were used to analyze the pathogenic factors of VVC.Results:Among the 184 patients, 97 were diagnosed as VVC, with a 52.72% incidence rate. The results of single analysis showed that age, drinking sugary drinks, eating sweets, exercising, sedentary, emotional state, frequency of using pads in non menstrual period, wearing tights, history of vaginitis, frequency of vaginal washing, history of curettage, contraceptive method, first sexual intercourse age, number of sexual partners, whether washing vulva before and after sexual life were related to the incidence of vulvovaginal candidiasis in occupational women of childbearing age ( P<0.05). The results of multivariate analysis showed that sedentary, drinking sugary drinks, eating sweets, wearing tights, vaginal washing frequency, first sexual intercourse age, contraceptive method, number of sexual partners, history of curettage, history of vaginitis, and cleaning vulva before and after sexual life were all independent factors ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in TNF-α level among the three groups ( P>0.05), while the IFN-γ and IL-2 levels were the lowest in the recurrent group, the second in the non recurrent group, and the highest in the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The incidence rate of VVC in the women of childbearing age occupation is related to sedentary, sugar drinking, sweet food, tight pants frequency, vaginal irrigation frequency, first sex, contraceptive methods, sexual partners, curettage history, vaginitis history, sexual cleansing before and after sexual activity. Clinically, relevant factors can be intervened to reduce the incidence of the disease. The decrease of IFN-γ and IL-2 may increase the risk of VVC.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of phytoestrogen biochanin A (BCA) on liver fibrosis induced by CCl4 in female mice with bilateral oophorectomy (ovariectomized) and its mechanism. MethodsA total of 50 ovariectomized Kunming mice were selected and given intraperitoneal injection of CCl4 to establish a model of liver fibrosis, and then according to body weight, they were randomly divided into model group, positive control group, and low-, middle-, and high-dose BCA groups, with 10 mice in each group. In addition, 10 female mice in the same litter were given resection of a small amount of adipose tissue near both ovaries to establish the sham-operation group. The mice in the positive control group were given estradiol 2 mg/kg by gavage, and those in the low-, middle-, and high-dose BCA groups were given BCA by gavage at a dose of 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg, respectively, once a day for 7 consecutive weeks; the mice in the sham-operation group and the model group were given an equal volume of 0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution by gavage. The mice were anesthetized and sacrificed after administration to collect samples. Liver index and uterus index were measured; HE staining and Masson staining were used to observe liver histopathological changes; the biochemical analysis was used to measure the activity of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT); ELISA was used to measure the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in liver tissue, and Western blot was used to measure the relative protein expression levels of collagen Ⅰ, transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1), alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), estrogen receptor beta (ERβ), and p-NF-κBp65/NF-κBp65 in liver tissue. The t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups; a one-way analysis of various was used for comparison between multiple groups, and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. The Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups and further comparison between two groups. ResultsCompared with the sham-operated group, the model group had a significant increase in liver index and a significant reduction in uterus index, as well as significant increases in the activities of serum AST and ALT, the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in liver tissue, and the protein expression levels of collagen Ⅰ, TGF-β1, α-SMA, and p-NF-κBp65/NF-κBp65 in liver tissue (all P<0.05), with no significant change in the expression of ERβ in liver tissue (P>0.05), and the model group showed significant fibrosis lesions in the liver, such as hepatocyte edema, steatosis, and necrosis with inflammatory cell infiltration and hyperplasia, deposition, and staggered distribution of collagen fibers. Compared with the model group, the low-, middle-, and high-dose BCA groups had significant reductions in liver index, the activities of serum AST and ALT, the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α, and the protein expression levels of collagen Ⅰ, TGF-β1, α-SMA, and p-NF-κBp65/NF-κBp65 in liver tissue (all P<0.05), with no significant change in uterine index (P>0.05), as well as a significant increase in the protein expression level of ERβ in liver tissue (P<0.05) and varying degrees of improvement in liver fibrosis lesions. ConclusionBCA can effectively improve CCL4-induced liver fibrosis in ovariectomized female mice, possibly by upregulating ERβ to inhibit the NF-κB signaling pathway and then alleviating inflammatory response.

Objective To establish the model of goat intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) induced by controllable axial compressive stress and evaluate its imaging and pathological characteristics. Methods Twenty goats were randomly divided into 4 groups (control group, 4-week pressure group, 8-week pressure group, 12-week pressure group, n=5, 40 N pressure). Disc height index (DHI) was used to evaluate the change of intervertebral disc height by X-ray, Pfirrmann classification method was used to observe the degree of intervertebral disc degeneration by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and histopathological observation and evaluation for intervertebral disc were conducted by HE staining and immunohistochemistry. Results DHI in control group showed no significant changes with the extension of pressure time, while DHI in the experimental group gradually decreased. There was no significant change in Pfirrmann classification in control group. In experimental group, with the extension of time, the higher the degeneration aggravated with the Pfirrmann classification increasing. In experimental group, HE staining showed that the disc nucleus pulposus decreased in volume and nucleus pulposus cells, which were gradually replaced by fibrous tissues. Immunohistochemical staining showed that type I collagen in the nucleus pulposus gradually increased, type Ⅱ collagen gradually decreased, and intervertebral disc degeneration occurred. Conclusions A certain axial compressive stress can lead to degeneration of goat lumbar intervertebral disc, and the degree of degeneration is gradually increased with the extension of time.

Protein neddylation is catalyzed by a three-enzyme cascade, namely an E1 NEDD8-activating enzyme (NAE), one of two E2 NEDD8 conjugation enzymes and one of several E3 NEDD8 ligases. The physiological substrates of neddylation are the family members of cullin, the scaffold component of cullin RING ligases (CRLs). Currently, a potent E1 inhibitor, MLN4924, also known as pevonedistat, is in several clinical trials for anti-cancer therapy. Here we report the discovery, through virtual screening and structural modifications, of a small molecule compound HA-1141 that directly binds to NAE in both
