The aim of the present study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of galactosides modified lamivudine (LA) on hepatitis B virus (HBV) and examine the liver targeting ability of lamivudine modified by galactosides in vitro and in vivo (mice). Lamivudine nanoparicles modified by galactosides (LAP GSLN) were prepared and delivered into 2.2.15 cells. After 10 days, hepatitis virus B e antigen (HBeAg) expression in 2.2.15 cells was detected by ELISA, and immune fluorescence levels of HBV DNA in the medium were examined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The cytotoxicity of LAP GSLN on 2.2.15 cells was observed as well. In the in vivo experiment, ten male mice were randomly divided into 2 groups: lap GSLN group (i.v.injection of LAP GSLN) and LA group (i.v.injection of LA). Lamivudine levels in serum, hepatic, renal, pulmonary, and splenic tissues were detected by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP HPLC). On the 6th day, the expression of HBeAg was found inhibited by LPA GSLN. HBV DNA replication was also inhibited by LAP GSLN on the 4th day. Hepatic LAP GSLN concentrations in LAP GSLN group were 3.3 fold higher that of the LA group. The above results suggested galactosides modified lamivudine could effectively inhibit the antigen expression and DNA replication of HBV, and it showed a high liver targeting ability in vivo .

Objective: To investigate the relationship between serum levels of high sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) and the severity of coronary lesions in patients with stable coronary artery disease (SCAD). Methods: A total of 450 SCAD patients with coronary angiography (CAG) conifrmed diagnosis in our hospital were studied, and serum levels of hs-cTnT were examined at 3 days prior CAG in all patients. Based on tertiles of Gensini score, the patients were divided into 3 groups: Low score group,n=153 patients with Gensini score<14, Intermediate score group, n=145 patients with Gensini score at 14-28 and High score group,n=152 patients with Gensini score>28. The relationships between Gensini score and hs-cTnT levels were analyzed among 3 groups. The optimal cut-off value of hs-cTnT for predicting high Gensini score and the need of revascularization were studied by ROC curve, the relationships between hs-cTnT and high Gensini score, the need of revascularization were further detected by Logistic regression analysis. Results: The median values (25%-75%) of hs-cTnT in Low score group, Intermediate score group and High score group were 6.72 (4.20, 8.93) pg/ml, 7.90 (5.74, 12.68) pg/ml and 14.99 (10.26, 24.30) pg/ml respectively, allP<0.01. ROC curve analysis indicated that the area under curve (AUC) of hs-cTnT for predicting high Gensini score was 0.837 (95% CI 0.803-0.874), for the need of revascularization was 0.772 (95% CI 0.728-0.817); the best cut-off value of hs-TnT for predicting high Gensini score was 10.04 pg/ml and for the need of revascularization was 8.56 pg/ml. Logistic regression analysis suggested that with adjusted age, gender, the history of hypertension, diabetes, smoking, blood levels of creatinine, LDL-C and hs-CRP, hs-cTnT was still an independent predictor for high Gensini score (OR=1.13, 95% CI 1.06-1.20,P<0.001) and for the need of revascularization (OR=1.19, 95% CI 1.14-1.24,P<0.001). Conclusion: Serum level of hs-cTnT has been related to severity of coronary lesions in SCAD patients, hs-cTnT might be used as one of the pre-operative predictor for severe coronary disease and for the need of revascularization.

As a ligand-dependent transcription factor,retinoid-associated orphan receptor γt(RORyt)that controls T helper(Th)17 cell differentiation and interleukin(IL)-17 expression plays a critical role in the pro-gression of several inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.An emerging novel approach to the therapy of these diseases thus involves controlling the transcriptional capacity of RORyt to decrease Th17 cell development and IL-17 production.Several RORyt inhibitors including both antagonists and inverse agonists have been discovered to regulate the transcriptional activity of RORyt by binding to orthosteric-or allosteric-binding sites in the ligand-binding domain.Some of small-molecule inhibitors have entered clinical evaluations.Therefore,in current review,the role of RORyt in Th17 regulation and Th17-related inflammatory and autoimmune diseases was highlighted.Notably,the recently developed RORyt inhibitors were summarized,with an emphasis on their optimization from lead compounds,ef-ficacy,toxicity,mechanisms of action,and clinical trials.The limitations of current development in this area were also discussed to facilitate future research.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical course and explore the risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 RNA negative conversion duration (NCD) in asymptomatic and mild-symptomatic patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant. MethodsClinical data were collected from 244 confirmed cases of corona virus disease (COVID-19) with Omicron variant infection admitted to a temporal makeshift hospital in Shanghai from April 9, 2022 to May 20, 2022. Demographic and clinical data were analyzed, with a primary focus on the time of COVID-19 nucleic acid conversion. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to determine identify risk factors associated with NCD. ResultsThe median duration of negative RNA conversion was 9 days (ranged 7‒12 days). The percentage of patients with positive nucleic acid results on the 5th, 7th, 10th, and 14th days after confirmed infection was 68.4%, 47.1%, 20.1%, and 5.7%, respectively. Kaplan-Meier curves indicated a median nucleic acid conversion time of 12 days (ranged 10‒14 days) for patients with hypertension, 9 days (ranged 7‒11 days) in patients without hypertension, and 11 days (ranged 9‒13 days) for patients aged ≥60 years, and 9 days (ranged 7‒11 days) for patients aged <60 years. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that only hypertension was an independent risk factor of NCD (RR=1.60; 95% CI: 1.03‒2.49, P=0.036). ConclusionIn asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic patients infected with the Omicron variant, 20.1% patients continue to exhibit positive viral nucleic acid on the 10th days of infection. The independent risk factor associated with the conversion of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid to negative is hypertension.

ObjectiveTo determine the epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 in Shaanxi Province. MethodsEpidemiological analysis was conducted on the confirmed cases of COVID-19 (n=245) from January 23rd, 2020 through February 21st, 2020 based on the official data announced by Shaanxi Province. The effects of local population migration, prevention and control measures on the epidemic were explored. ResultsAs of February 21st, 2020, a total of 245 COVID-19 cases had been notified in Shaanxi Province, with a cumulative incidence rate of 0.63 per 100 000, of which imported cases accounted for 47.34%. The high incidence was observed between January 31st and February 5th. Xi’an had the largest number of COVID-19 cases, followed by Ankang, Hanzhong and Xianyang, totally accounting for 81.20% of the cases in the province. In terms of social factors, daily morbidity was positively correlated with Baidu migration scale index 14 days before. On January 25th, the provincial health emergency response was launched, and on January 31st, it was further upgraded for quarantine. On February 20th, the provincial prevention and control system was implemented by classified areas. There were no emerging local cases after February 21st and no confirmed cases for 28th consecutive days as of March 19th. Local cases and close contacts were cleared to zero on March 27th. ConclusionThe COVID-19 epidemic in Shaanxi Province is mainly concentrated in Guanzhong area and southern Shaanxi, with a widespread pattern in all cities. The prevention and control measures have effectively contained the epidemic, with a declining incidence. However, quarantine of suspected cases and close contacts remains crucial for routine prevention and control strategy.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of the 12-week regimen with sofosbuvir and coblopasvir hydrochloride in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) in northwest China. Methods This study enrolled 101 patients with CHC of any genotype who received sofosbuvir (400 mg) combined with coblopasvir hydrochloride (60 mg) for 12 weeks in The First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, and Baoji Central Hospital from July 1 to December 31, 2021, among whom 13 had liver cirrhosis and 88 did not have live cirrhosis. Other antiviral drugs such as ribavirin were not added regardless of the presence or absence of liver cirrhosis or the genotype of CHC. Related clinical data ere extracted, including HCV RNA quantification and liver biochemical parameters at baseline, at week 12 of treatment, and at 12 weeks after drug withdrawal. The primary endpoints were sustained virologic response at 12 weeks after the end of treatment (SVR12) and safety at week 12 of treatment, and the secondary endpoint was the effect of the 12-week treatment on liver biochemical parameters. The non-normally distributed continuous data were expressed as M ( P 25 - P 75 ), and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between groups. Results A total of 101 patients were included in the analysis, among whom there were 55 male patients (54.5%) and 46 female patients, and the median age was 53 years. Among these patients, 12.8% had liver cirrhosis, 1.0% had liver cancer, 3.0% were treatment-experienced patients, and 3.0% had type 2 diabetes. As for genotype distribution, 8% had CHC genotype 1, 60% had CHC genotype 2, 19% had CHC genotype 3, and 6% had CHC genotype 6, and genotype was not tested for 7% of the patients. After 12 weeks of treatment, all 101 patients had a HCV RNA level of below the lower limit of detection and an SVR12 rate of 100%, with a significant reduction in the serum level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) from baseline to week 12 of treatment ( P < 0.05). Among these patients, 22.7% had concomitant medications such as atorvastatin calcium, aspirin, metformin, nifedipine, bicyclol, and compound glycyrrhizin. The incidence rate of adverse events was 16.8%, and fatigue (12.9%) was the most common adverse event. Conclusion The 12-week treatment with sofosbuvir and coblopasvir hydrochloride can obtain high SVR12 in CHC patients in northwest China and has good antiviral safety, with a significant improvement in abnormal serum ALT at week 12 of treatment.
