Objective The purpose of this study was to study the correlation between dental fluorosis, saliva and plaque fluoride levels and urinary fluoride values in adolescents dental fluorosis. Methods A middle school was chosen as a survey point in the study. Two hundred adolescents were examined the degree of dental fluorosis by Dean's method. These adolescents were divided into four groups according to the severity of fluorosis (n = 52, 40, 28 and 80). Fluoride ion specific electrode was used to measure the fluoride levels in dental plaque, saliva, urinary and drinking water. The differences were analyzed b y ANOVA. Correlation of the fluoride levels between dental plaque, saliva, urine and the degree of dental fluorosis were analyzed by the method of multiple linear regression. Results The average fluoride content of drinking water was (2.20 ± 0.40) mg/L. Compared with controls, the fluoride concentrations in dental plaque, saliva and urine were higher in light, medium and severe dental fluorosis groups [(1.55 ± 0.88), (1.94 ± 0.77), (2.74 ± 0.83) than (0.32 ± 0.20) mg/L; (4.44 ± 1.62), (8.09 ± 0.93), (10.72 ± 0.99) than (0.02 ± 0.01) mg/L;(31.77 ± 6.09), (57.98 ± 1.83), (65.98 ± 2.78) than (13.06 ± 2.11) μg/g, all P<0.05]. Urinary fluoride was correlated with fluoride in saliva and dental plaque (r=0.245, 0.440, all P<0.05). Saliva fluoride was correlated with fluoride in dental plaque (r=0.849, P<0.01). The degree of dental fluorosis was correlated with fluoride in urine and saliva (r = 0.497, 0.896, 0.924, all P< 0.01). The multiple linear regression equation between fluoride in urine and the degree of dent al fluorosis, fluoride in dental plaque and saliva was as follow: y = 1.357 + 1.618x1 + 0.001x2 - 0.331x3 ± 0.69. Conclusions The metabolism of fluoride in body is related with oral fluoride repository in adolescents dental fluorosis. Fluoride in urine is influenced by plaque fluoride level, saliva fluoride concentration and the degree of dental fluorosis.

Objective:To analyze the effect of immersive scenario simulation training on improving the competency of infection prevention for health-care workers (HCWs).Methods:Taking the implementation time of immersive scenario simulation teaching training in Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine (August 2020) as the boundary, 352 new HCWs entered the hospital before the training (August 2019) were included as control group taking traditional teaching method, and 298 new HCWs entered the hospital after the training (August 2020) were included as observation group taking immersive scenario simulation combined with theoretical training. The mastery status of nosocomial infection-related knowledge and the implementation status of infection control measures (hand hygiene compliance, hand hygiene accuracy, correct personal protective equipment (PPE) selection, 100% of pass rate of PPE on and off, and qualified disposal of medical waste) were compared between the two groups of HCWs after theoretical teaching and different forms of practical training. The training effect (final assessment results) and training satisfaction (Minnesota satisfaction questionnaire, MSQ) of the two groups of HCWs were compared. SPSS 22.0 was used for t test and chi-square test. Results:The assessment results of the two groups of new HCWs trained by theoretical lecturing and immersive scenario simulation training were significantly improved compared with those just received theoretical lecturing, and the results of observation group were significantly higher than those of control group ( P<0.05). The implementation status of infection control measures after practical training were obviously improved in the two groups of HCWs compared to after theoretical lecturing, and the correct rates of PPE selection and all the procedure of donning and doffing PPE of observation group were significantly higher than those of control group ( P<0.05), but there were no significant differences in the hand hygiene accuracy and qualified disposal of medical waste between the two groups ( P>0.05). At the end of training, the final assessment results and satisfaction MSQ score of HCWs in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Immersive scenario simulation teaching and training intervention is beneficial to improve the mastery of nosocomial infection knowledge of new HCWs, standardize their clinical infection control behaviors such as hand hygiene and aseptic operation, and finally obtain good training effect of infection prevention competency.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become one major threat to human population health. The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) presents an ideal target of antivirals, whereas nucleoside analogs inhibitor is hindered by the proofreading activity of coronavirus. Herein, we report that corilagin (RAI-S-37) as a non-nucleoside inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 RdRp, binds directly to RdRp, effectively inhibits the polymerase activity in both cell-free and cell-based assays, fully resists the proofreading activity and potently inhibits SARS-CoV-2 infection with a low 50% effective concentration (EC
