Objective:To analyze the variation and evolution characteristics of hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) genes of influenza B virus circulating in Jining from 2017 to 2020.Methods:Throat swab specimens were collected from patients with influenza-like symptoms in sentinel hospitals and influenza outbreaks in Jining from 2017 to 2020 and tested for influenza B virus nucleic acid. After virus isolation, 20 representative strains of influenza B virus were selected to sequence the full length of HA and NA genes. Phylogenetic trees were constructed and the molecular characteristics were analyzed using bioinformatics software. Results:A total of 4 575 specimens were collected and 842 of them were positive for influenza virus, including 398 (8.7%, 398/4 575) influenza B virus-positive specimens. The positive rate of influenza B virus was 47.27% (398/842). The isolated influenza B virus strains of Victoria (BV) and Yamagata (BY) lineages from 2017 to 2020 shared 98.7%-98.8% and 98.5%-99.1% homology in HA gene with vaccine strains, respectively. The BV lineage strains isolated from 2018 to 2020 belonged to Victoria clade 1A branch and the BY lineage strains isolated from 2017 to 2018 belonged to Yamagata clade 3 branch. Mutations were detected in several antigenic sites, but not in the sites related to NA inhibitor resistance. Conclusions:Mutations in several antigenic sites caused antigenic changes in influenza B virus of BV and BY lineages, which might be related to the outbreaks of influenza B virus infection in Jining during 2017 to 2020.

OBJECTIVEIn China, the coverage rate of work injury insurance was 23.2%in 2011, which was far lower than expected. The factors affecting the insurance's enrollment has very little known. This paper aims to study the existing coverage of work injury insurance scheme and its influencing factors.
METHODSThe data were collected from 2 836 workers who came from 9 industries in three cities of Zhejiang province using face-to-face questionnaire interview.
RESULTSOf these 2836 workers, the work injury insurance coverage was 50.1%, and 29.6% were not sure if they were covered or not. The results showed that the awareness of occupational disease and industrial injury insurance was helpful in increasing the coverage rate. Besides, the logistic regression analysis showed that in certain circumstances working population shared higher coverage of work injury insurance. For examples, male workers with local household registration and longer working years; people who had been informed about occupational risk factors, and thus gained more training on the issue; people who had exposed to occupational hazards or involved in administrative duties; and people who had already insured by a medical insurance scheme. In the contrary, the heavier family burden with longer working hours per week they needed, the lower possibility they joined the insurance scheme.
CONCLUSIONSThe coverage of work injury insurance is higher than native average level but much lower than the average international level. The awareness of occupational disease and injury insurance was closely associated with the coverage of work injury insurance. Therefore, it is imperative to popularize the knowledge on OHS for migrant workers, as well as to reinforce the supervision and management of the issue would have been an effective way to elevate the coverage rate of work injury insurance.

OBJECTIVETo investigate workers' willingness to participate and wiliness to pay for a hypothetical industrial injury insurance scheme, to analyze the influential factors, and to provide information for policy making of the government.
METHODSMultistage cluster sampling was used to select subjects: In the first stage, 9 small, medium, orlarge enterprises were selected fromthree cities (counties) in Zhejiang province, China, according to the level of economic development, transportation convenience, and cooperation of government agencies; in the second stage, several workshops were randomly selected from each of the 9 enterprises. Face-to-face interviews among all workers in the workshops were conducted by trained interviewers using a pre-designed questionnaire.
RESULTSIt was found that 73.87% (2095) of all workers were willing to participate in the hypothetical work injury insurance scheme and to pay 2.21% of monthly wage (51.77 yuan) on average, and more than half of the workers were willing to pay less than 1%of monthly wage (35 yuan). Of the 741 workers who were not willing to participate, 327 thought that the premium should be borne by the state or enterprises, instead of individuals, and others were not willing to participate because of low income, unstable job, or poor understanding of the hypothetical industrial injury insurance scheme. Logistic regression analysis showed that workers with higher education levels, longer length of services, longer weekly working time, or more knowledge of occupational diseases showed higher willingness to participate in the scheme; workers who were exposed to physical hazards, had health records, or had participated in the existing medical insurance or industrial injury insurance were more willing to participate. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that with increasing average monthly wage, weekly working time, and self?health evaluation, the proportion of workers with willingness to pay increased; however, with increasing work intensity and awareness of occupational disease, the proportion of workers with willingness to pay decreased. The workers who were not covered by the industrial injury insurance paid more than those covered by the industrial injury insurance.
CONCLUSIONThe hypothetical industrial injury insurance scheme increased the applicability and advantage of independent third-party running and lifetime insurance, which significantly increased the workers' willingness to participate in or to pay for the insurance scheme. Therefore, the industrial injury insurance can be improved in these aspects to promote workers' willingness to participate in and to pay for the insurance scheme. This conclusion provided a reference for the solution of delayed or shirking corporate responsibility for paying the premium.

OBJECTIVE To establish the fingerprint and multi-component content determination method of Crataegus pinnatifida leaves from different producing areas, and to evaluate the quality of C. pinnatifida leaves and screen the differential markers. METHODS Seventy-eight batches of C. pinnatifida leaves were collected from Chengde of Hebei Province, Huludao of Liaoning Province, Yuncheng of Shanxi Province and Linyi of Shandong Province. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and Similarity Evaluation System for Traditional Chinese Medicine Chromatographic Fingerprints (2012 edition) were used to draw the fingerprints and conduct similarity evaluation. Grey correlation analysis, cluster analysis (CA), principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were performed by using SPSS 19.0, MetaboAnalyst 5.0 and SIMCA 14.1 software. The differential markers affecting the quality of C. pinnatifida leaves were screened with variable importance in the projection (VIP) value greater than 1 and the error line not exceeding the origin as the criterion. Using vitexin rhamnoside as an internal reference, the contents of chlorogenic acid, glucosylvitexin, hypericin and isoquercetin in 78 batches of C. pinnatifida leaves were determined by the same HPLC combined with quantitative analysis of multi- components by single-marker (QAMS), and the results were compared with external standard method. RESULTS Eight common peaks were calibrated in the fingerprints for 78 batches of C. pinnatifida leaves from 4 producing areas. Five known components were identified, including chlorogenic acid (peak 1), glucosylvitexin (peak 3), vitexin rhamnoside (peak 4), hypericin (peak 7) and isoquercetin (peak 8); their similarities ranged from 0.871 to 0.998. Average relative correlations of samples from Chengde of Hebei Province, Huludao of Liaoning Province, Yuncheng of Shanxi Province and Linyi of Shandong Province were 0.538, 0.528, 0.462 and 0.435, respectively. CA and PCA showed that the samples from Chengde of Hebei Province and Huludao of Liaoning Province were roughly classified into one category, while the samples from Linyi of Shandong Province and Yuncheng of Shanxi Province were roughly classified into one category; VIP values of peak 1, 2, 3 and 5 were all greater than 1. By QAMS, the relative correction factors of chlorogenic acid, glucosylvitexin, hypericin and isoquercetin were 0.401, 0.993, 1.670 and 1.615 (RSD<2%). Compared with external standard method, except for isoquercetin in the two batches of samples (S39 and S41), there was no significant difference in the content of each component in other batches of samples (the relative deviations≤ 5%). CONCLUSIONS The established fingerprint and QAMS method are simple to operate and can be used to evaluate the quality of C. pinnatifida leaves. The sample from Chengde of Hebei Province is relatively good in quality. Chlorogenic acid (peak 1), glucosylvitexin (peak 3), and the corresponding components of peaks 2 and 5 may be differential markers affecting the quality of C. pinnatifida leaves.
