Objective:To clarify the influence and influence paths of stigma on the time of the healthcare-seeking decision in caregivers of elderly patients with dementia, and to provide a theoretical basis for the construction of corresponding humanistic care strategies.Methods:A total of 176 caregivers of elderly patients with dementia who visited the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University and Xuzhou Oriental People ′s Hospital from February 2021 to February 2022 were selected as the study subjects. The General Information Questionnaire, self-designed Scale of Stigma for Caregivers of Senile dementia patients, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, self-designed Elderly Dementia Caregivers′ Perceived Barriers Scale for Healthcare-seeking Decision, and self-designed Scale of the Intention to Seek Healthcare for caregivers of senile dementia patients were used in the survey. AMOS 20.0 was used to establish a structural equation model for path analysis. Results:The higher the stigma of caregivers, the longer the time of the healthcare-seeking decision ( β=0.05, P<0.05). Social support, perceived barriers to the healthcare-seeking decision, and the intention to seek healthcare were the mediating variables of caregivers ′ stigma affecting the time of the healthcare-seeking decision, with a total effect of -0.04, 0.14, and 0.36, respectively, and all P<0.05. Conclusions:The stigma in caregivers of senile dementia patients is an important factor affecting the time of the healthcare-seeking decision. By improving mediating factors including social support, perceived barriers to the healthcare-seeking decision, and the intention to seek healthcare, the implementations of targeted humanistic care strategies are expected to help shorten the time of the healthcare-seeking decision.

Objective To investigate the mechanism by which Liraglutide improves the inflammatory response in metabolic associated fatty liver disease(MAFLD)by regulating the interferon gene stimulating factor(STING)signaling pathway.Methods 20 male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into normal diet group(NC),Liraglutide intervention group(NC+Lir group),high fat diet group(HFD group)and Liraglutide intervention high fat diet group(HFD+Lir group),with 5 in each group.Mouse primary hepato-cytes(MPHs)were divided into normal control(Con)group,Liraglutide intervention group(Con+Lir group),palmitic acid group(PA group)and Liraglutide intervention PA group(PA+Lir group).The levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST)in serum and triglyceride(TG)contents in liver were detected.HE and oil red O staining were used to observe the pathological changes in the liver and to calculate the MAFLD activity score(NAS).The mRNA expression levels of STING,IL-1β and TNF-α in tissues and cells were detected by qRT-PCR.The protein expression levels of STING,p-IRF3 and IFN-β were detected by Western blot.Results Body weight,liver tissue weight,serum ALT,AST,liver TG,steatosis,lobular inflammation and balloon-like NAS in HFD group were higher than those in NC group(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Body weight,liver tissue weight,serum ALT,AST,liver TG,steatosis,lobular inflammation and balloon-like NAS in HFD+Lir group were lower than those in HFD group(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).The mRNA expressions of STING,IL-1β,TNF-α and the protein expressions of STING,p-IRF3 and IFN-β in liver of HFD group were higher than those of NC group(P＜0.05).The mRNA expressions of STING,IL-1β,TNF-α and the protein expressions of STING,p-IRF3 and IFN-β in HFD+ Lir group were lower than those in HFD+ Lir group(P＜0.05).The mRNA expressions of STING,IL-1β,TNF-α and the protein expressions of STING,p-IRF3 and IFN-β in PA group were higher than those in Con group(P＜0.01).The mRNA expressions of STING,IL-1β,TNF-α and the protein expressions of STING,p-IRF3 and IFN-β in PA+Lir group were lower than those in PA group(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Conclusion Liraglutide ameliorates the high-fat-induced inflammation responses in MAFLD by regulating the STING signaling pathways.

Objective Assess and determine inactivation effect of heat,.ultraviolet (UV) light and three disinfectants against human infected H9N2 avian influenza virus in laboratory.Methods Suspension containing with 1010.67 TCID50/ml viral was exposed to 50 ℃,56 ℃,60 ℃,65 ℃ for 10 to 60 minutes and UV every 10 interval minutes from 10 to 80 minutes.The residual viruses after physical treatment were determined through half of tissue culture infective dose (TCID50) with MDCK cells and calculated by Reed-Muench method.Suspension with 1010.37EID50/ml quantitative virus was applied to equal volume of 10％ 84 sanitizer,75％ ethanol,1％ Virkon solution and incubated for 1 minute to 15 minutes respectively.The residual viral activity would be evaluated by inoculating in SPF chicken embryo.When the virus titer dropped by 4 lgTCID50/ml or virus in chicken embryo culture was observed to be negative,the physical and chemical treatment was considered effective.Results Human infected H9N2 avian influenza virus titer decreased by 4.02 lgTCID50 at 56 ℃ for 15 minutes,and after 30 minutes at 56 ℃ or 10 minutes at 60 ℃/65 ℃,the post-viral titer would decline below the detection level.20 minutes of UV irradiation would lead to a 5.67 log reduction,and after 70 minutes lighted,the virus titer fell below the detection level.Virus proliferation was not detected after 3 minutes of disinfection with 10％ 84 sanitizer,75％ ethanol and 1％ Virkon.Conclusions We should note that it is necessary to meet the specific condition to effectively inactivate the human infected H9N2 avian influenza virus.Our study provides an experimental basis for the biosafety operation of human infected H9N2 avian influenza virus.

In recent years, the demand of biologics has increased rapidly. Cell culture process with perfusion mode has become more and more popular due to its high productivity, good quality and high efficiency. In this paper, the unique operation and the details of process optimization for perfusion culture mode are discussed by comparing with traditional batch culture process. Meanwhile, the progress and strategies in the development and optimization of perfusion culture process in recent years are summarized to provide reference for the future development of mammalian cell perfusion culture technology.

Objective: To analyze epidemiological characteristics of influenza-like illness outbreaks in mainland China during 2017-2018 surveillance season, and to provide scientific evidence for developing influenza prevention and control strategies. Methods: We collected the data on reported influenza outbreaks in 2017-2018 surveillance season from China Influenza Surveillance Information System and China Public Health Emergency Management Information System and analyzed the data of laboratory-confirmed influenza-like illness outbreaks by descriptive epidemiological methods. Results: During the surveillance season, a total of 2 398 influenza-like illness outbreaks (with 10 or more incidences in an outbreak) in mainland China were reported, involving 87 084 patients, of which 2 323 were influenza outbreaks, involving 85 531 patients. The reported influenza-like illness outbreaks occurred most frequently from November 2017 to January 2018 in both the southern and northern regions and the highest peaks were in December 2017. During the period 1 850 influenza-like illness outbreaks (77.15%) were reported in the southern region, and 548 influenza-like illness outbreaks (22.85%) were reported in the northern region. The most of the outbreaks occurred in primary, secondary schools and nursery care schools, with a total of 2 210 reports (92.16%). And the majority of the outbreaks involved 10-29 incident cases. The dominant isolated virus strains for the outbreaks were influenza B (1 505 outbreaks, 62.76% of all the outbreaks). Conclusion Seasonality of influenza outbreaks were observed in mainland China during 2017-2018 surveillance season and the reported influenza outbreaks were most frequently occurred in autumn-winter season and in southern China. Primary, secondary schools and nursery care schools are high-risk places for outbreaks, and the dominant isolated virus strains for the outbreaks were influenza B.
