Objective To investigate the inactivating effect of heat and ultraviolet(UV) light on HCV JFH-1 strain using the cell culture system. Methods The HCV JFH-1 virus stock, with an initial titer of 2.5 × 104 FFU/ml, was exposed in 56℃ water bath or to UV light for varying durations of time for explo-ring their inactivating effects on the virus. The kinetics of virus titer reduction was determined by an indirect immuno-fluorescence assay (IFA). If the cells infected with the exposed virus stock were IFA negative after three blind passages, the virus stock was considered to be inactivated completely. Results After incubation of the HCV JFH-1 virus stock (2.5 × 104 FFU/ml)in 56℃ water bath for 10 min, 20 min and 30 min, the virus titers were reduced to 1.6 × 103 FFU/ml, 3.1 × 102 FFU/ml and 3.3 × 10 FFU/ml, respectively. The exposure of the virus stock to UV light (wavelength 253.7 nm, intensity ≥60 μW/cm2, 30 cm below the UV lamp) for 15 s, 30 s and 45 s resulted in virus fiter reduction to 1.0 × 103 FFU/ml, 1.1 × 102 FFU/ml and 2.7 × 10 FFU/ml, respectively. After 40 min incubation of the virus stock at 56℃, or 1 min exposure to UV light (wavelength 253.7 nm, intensity ≥60 μW/cm2) the virus infectious titer was reduced below the detection limit of IFA, and the IFA was still negative even after three blind passages, indicating that the virus was inactivated completely. Conclusion HCV is sensitive to heat and UV light treatment. For HCV JFH-1 virus stock containing 2.5 × 104 FFU/ml virus, heat treatment at 56℃ for 40 min, or UV light expo-sure at an intensity of ≥60 μW/cm2 for 1 min, resulting in complete virus inactivation.

The degranulation of mast cells represents a pivotal e-vent in the allergic disorders.The Src family kinases(SFKs)are as a starting signal in the activation of mast cell.Lyn,Fyn and Syk play important regulatory role in the degranulation of mast cells.Regulating SFKs can reduce the degranlation process and inhibit the allergic disorders.Therefore,SFKs inhibitors can be potential drugs in the allergy.It is necessary to study the targeted medicine of SFKs,which will be a new direction of drug develop-ment.

Dioscin is the main ingredient of Dioscorea,a tradi-tional medical herb.Traditional theory of Chinese medicine be-lieves that Dioscorea has effects of clearing lung,digesting food, diuresis, improving blood circulation, relaxing muscles and stopping attack of malaria.Pharmacological studies have shown that dioscin has many pharmacological effects,particularly the anti-tumor effect.Many studies have also shown dioscin im-proves symptoms of atherosclerosis and protects blood vessel en-dothelium,reduces ischemia-reperfusion injury of heart,brain and kidney,lowers blood sugar,inhibits hepatic fibrosis,im-proves menopausal osteoporosis,relieves rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis and other inflammatory disorders,and posses-ses anti-bacterial and anti-viral activity.This article focuses on the progress of the modern pharmacological study of dioscin,and reports its advances in recent years.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) among elderly residents in the community.Methods:A total of 1 894 patients aged 60-75 years with NAFLD visiting general practice clinic from March 2016 to March 2018 were enrolled in the study; 1 894 age and sex-matched subjects without NAFLD served as the control group. The data of gender, age, smoking status,body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, blood pressure, blood biochemistry,past medical history and other clinical and laboratory testing were collected in the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the related risk factors of NAFLD.Results:The BMI [(27±3) kg/m 2vs.(24±3) kg/m 2, t=-26.139], waist circumference [(89±8) cm vs.(82±8) cm, t=-24.398], heart rate [(75±11) bpm vs. (74±11) bpm, t=-2.370], and diastolic blood pressure [(87±10) mmHg vs. (85±10) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), t=7.898] in the NAFLD group were significantly higher than those in the control group(all P<0.05). The levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG) [(5.9±2.0)mmol/L vs. (5.3±1.5) mmol/L, t=10.438], glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) [(6.2±1.2)% vs. (5.9±0.9)%, t=11.654], alanine aminotransferase (ALT)[(24±16) mmol/L vs. (18±15) mmol/L, t=11.915], aspartate aminotransferase (AST) [(23±11) mmol/L vs.(22±13) mmol/L, t=4.300], blood uric acid (UA) [(342±84) mmol/L vs. (307±80) mmol/L, t=13.189], total cholesterol (TC) [(5.3±1.1) mmol/L vs. (5.1±1.0) mmol/L, t=6.073], triglycerides (TG)[1.71(1.29,2.35) mmol/L vs. 1.17 (0.91,1.57) mmol/L, Z=37.261], and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)[(3.4±0.9) mmol/L vs. (3.2±0.9) mmol/L, t=6.984] in NAFLD group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.01); and the levels of blood creatinine (Cr) [(70±17) mmol/L vs. (71±18) mmol/L, t=-2.712] and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) [(1.3±0.3) mmol/L vs. (1.5±0.4) mmol/L, t==-16.726] in NAFLD group were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.01). The proportion of people with hypertension [53.8% (1 019/1 894) vs. 43.4% (822/1 894)], type 2 diabetes [16.7%(317/1 894) vs. 11.3%(214/1 894)], metabolic syndrome [48.3% (915/1 894) vs. 18.0% (341/1 894)] in NAFLD group was significantly higher than that in the control group (χ 2=41.013, 23.237, 392.446, P<0.01). Logistic regression analyses revealed 13 independent risk factors of NAFLD, including 60-75 years-old female ( OR=2.348, 95 %CI: 1.917-2.876, P<0.01), high BMI ( OR=1.143, 95 %CI: 1.099-1.189, P<0.01), elevated TG ( OR=1.894, 95 %CI: 1.716-2.090, P<0.01), LDL-C ( OR=3.066, 95 %CI: 2.359-3.983, P<0.01) and HbA1c ( OR=1.276, 95 %CI: 1.175-1.386, P<0.01). Conclusion:The factors associated with NAFLD are complicated; and corresponding measures targeting the risk factors should be taken to reduce the occurrence and development of NAFLD among elderly people in the community.

Objective : To investigate the status of occupational stress, burnout, and coping styles, and to explore the moderating effects of coping styles on the relationship between occupational stress and burnout among medical staff from one tertiary first-class hospital in Hubei Province, in order to provide the basis for mental health promotion of medical staff. Methods: From June to October in 2020, using stratified cluster sampling, doctors, nurses, and medical or pharmaceutical technicians on the ratio of 2∶2∶1 were selected from the tertiary first-class hospital. Chinese version of Burnout Questionnaire, Core Occupational Stress Scale (COSS) and Trait Coping Style Questionnaire were used to investigate the levels of burnout, occupational stress and coping styles. A linear stratified regression model was used to analyze the moderating effect of coping styles on the relationship between occupational stress and burnout. Results: Among 735 questionnaires issued, 679 valid ones were collected, with the response rate of 92.38%. The age of the respondents was ( 34.29±8.20 ) years old. There were 165 ( 24.30% ) males and 514 ( 75.70% ) females, including 241 ( 35.49% ) doctors, 358 ( 52.72% ) nurses and 80 (11.78%) medical or pharmaceutical technicians. The burnout score was 2.29±1.11 , and the positive rate of burnout was 44.33%; the COSS score was 47.32±8.31; the positive and negative coping style scores were 30.64±6.06 and 26.81±6.26, respectively. The linear stratified regression analysis suggested that the interactions between social support ( β=0.590, P<0.05 ), organization and reward ( β=0.523, P<0.05 ), and positive coping style were positively associated with burnout, and the interaction between organization and reward (β=-0.666, P<0.05) and negative coping style was negatively associated with burnout. Conclusions About 44.33% of medical staff investigated have burnout. Coping styles have a moderating effect on the relationship between occupational stress and burnout. Positive coping style helps to perceive social support and organizational support, to alleviate the adverse effects of occupational stress, and to reduce the risk of burnout.
