Objective To assess the situation and influencing factors of occupational burnout among the staff at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Sichuan Province. Methods A total of 1 038 CDC staff members in Sichuan Province were selected as the study subjects using the stratified random sampling method. Occupational burnout of the staff was assessed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey via an online questionnaire. Results The detection rate of occupational burnout was 42.3% (439/1 038). Binary logistic regression analysis result showed that, after controlling for confounding factors such as education level and alcohol consumption, CDC staffs aged at 20-<31, 31-<41, and 41-<51 years were at higher risk of occupational burnout compared with those ≥51 years (all P<0.05). CDC staffs with 5-<10 or ≥10 years of service had higher occupational burnout risk compared with those with <5 years (both P<0.05). CDC staffs with poor or fair health status, irregular diet, and poor sleep quality had higher risk of occupational burnout compared with those healthy, have regular diet, and good sleep quality (all P<0.05). The risk of occupational burnout increased with higher overtime frequency (all P<0.05). Conclusion Occupational burnout among CDC staffs in Sichuan Province is relatively high. Age, years of service, health status, diet, sleep quality, and overtime frequency are key influencing factors.

Aim To study the permeability of salidro-side(Sal)to the blood brain barrier(BBB)by high-performance liquid chromatography electrospray ioniza-tion tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-ESI-MS-MS),and to explore the target and mechanism of Sal in the treatment of ischemic stroke(IS)by network pharma-cology,molecular docking technique and animal exper-iment.Methods UPLC-ESI-MS/MS was used to study the BBB penetration of Sal.Multiple databases were used to predict the target of Sal and the disease target of IS,GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were performed and verified by molecular docking technique and animal experiments.Results After Sal adminis-tration to normal rats and MCAO rats,Sal prototype and the metabolite tyrosol were detected in plasma and brain tissue of rats.A total of 191 targets were identi-fied by network pharmacology,the enrichment analysis of GO mainly involved in the biological processes of proteolysis and positive regulation of cell migration,and the analysis of KEGG pathway suggested that PI3K-Akt,MAPK,FOXO and other signaling path-ways played a key role in the treatment of IS by Sal The results of molecular docking showed that Sal had good binding ability with the core target of docking,and the results of animal experiments showed that Sal could significantly improve the neurologic impairment of MCAO rats,the number of Nissl-positive cells in is-chemic side significantly increased,and the expression of VEGF,EGFR and IGF1 increased,while the ex-pression of IL-6 and MMP9 was inhibited.Conclu-sions Sal is able to penetrate the BBB and enter the central nervous system for its pharmacological effects.Network pharmacology predicts the core targets of Sal in the treatment of IS,including VEGFA,EGFR,IL-6,MMP9,IGF1,CASP3,ALB,SRC.The effects of Sal on some core targets can be verified by animal ex-periments,to provide a reference for further study of the mechanism of Sal in the treatment of IS.

Phosphatidylinositol 4 kinases are the initial and key molecules of the phosphatidyl inositol signaling pathway.Among them,the phosphatidylinositol 4-kinaseⅢ β(PI4KⅢβ)is in-volved in the synthesis of the Golgi PI4P pool,playing a vital role in numerous physiological processes.Meanwhile,the en-zyme is an important host factor mediating the replication of some pathogenic RNA viruses,and participating in other patho-logical processes such as bacterial infection and malaria.In ad-dition,studies have shown that the function of PI4KⅢβ is regu-lated by numerous factors,including host and viral protein bind-ing partners.This review will discuss the structure and the phys-iopathology regulatory mechanism of PI4KⅢβ.

Hydrogen sulfide(H2 S),an endogenous gas trans-mitter involved in the regulation of vascular tone,has a variety of physiological properties,such as antihypertensive,vascular re-laxation,anti-inflammatory and antioxidant potential,and plays an important role in cardiovascular regulation.Chinese scholars call essential hypertension combined with hyperhomocysteinemia(HCY≥10 μmol·L-1)as H-type hypertension.Studies have shown that H2S can antagonized hypertension and hyperhomocys-teinemia,suggesting that H2S may be a potential therapeutic tar-get for H-type hypertension.Therefore,this article briefly sum-marizes the mechanism of H2S on hypertension and homocys-teine.Homocysteine(HCY)is closely related to the occurrence and development of cardiovascular diseases.Hyperhomocysteine-mia(HCY ≥ 10 μmol·L-1)is a risk factor for coronary ath-erosclerotic heart disease,stroke,and other cardiovascular dis-eases,and Chinese scholars define primary hypertension accom-panied by hyperhomocysteinemia as H-type hypertension,which accounts for about 75％of the adult hypertensive patients in Chi-na.The treatment of H-type hypertension should simultaneously reduce blood pressure and plasma HCY levels.Studies have shown that hydrogen sulfide(H2 S)can antagonise hypertension and high HCY,suggesting that H2S may be a potential therapeu-tic target for H-type hypertension.Therefore,this paper summa-rizes the mechanism of action of H2S on hypertension and HCY.

Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of novel bioabsorbable vascular scaffold(BVS)in the treatment of patients with complex coronary artery disease.Methods This was a retrospective,matched,single-center observational study.45 patients with coronary atherosclerotic cardiopathy received BVS treatment in the cardiovascular medicine department Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University from June 2020 to June 2021(BVS),and 45 patients treated with drug-eluting stents(DES)group were selected according to matching study requirements during the same period.Baseline,surgical,and follow-up data were compared between the two groups to evaluate safety and efficacy.The main measures of safety were:surgical time,intraoperative adverse events,etc.,and the end point of efficacy was target lesion failure(TLF),including cardiac death,target vessel myocardial infarction,and ischa-driven target lesion revascularization.Results A total of 90 patients were enrolled in this study,all of whom were followed up for at least 3 years.There were 20 cases of bifurcation lesions and 25 cases of diffuse long lesions in the two groups,and 50 cases of imaging were reviewed among the 90 patients.The proportion of stable coronary heart disease,history of diabetes,history of hypertension,history of smoking,pre-dilated balloon pressure and postoperative diastolic blood pressure in BVS group was higher than that in DES group,and the proportion of family history was lower than that in DES group(all P＜0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the rates of cardiac death,target vessel myocardial infarction,and ischemia-driven revascularization of target lesions between the two groups(all P＞0.05).Binary Logistic regression model analysis showed that the diameter stenosis ratio of target lesions was an independent risk factor for intrastent restenosis(OR 2.786,95％CI 1.096-7.081,P=0.031).Conclusions Compared with traditional DES,BVS implantation has consistent safety and efficacy in the treatment of complex coronary artery disease within 3 years.The diameter stenosis ratio of target lesions was an independent risk factor for intrastent restenosis.

The aim of this study is to investigate the anti-biofilm activity of 1,10-PHEN against E.coli and to analyze its anti-membrane mechanism.The bacteriostatic effect of 1,10-PHEN on E.coli was evaluated by measuring the time bactericidal curve,and the minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration(MBIC)of 1,10-PHEN on E.coli was measured.The inhibitory effect of 1,10-PHEN on E.coli biofilm under fluorescence microscope was observed.The effects of 1,10-PHEN on the development stage and EPS of E.coli biofilm were detected.The inhibitory effect of 1,10-PHEN on E.coli was concentration-dependent.The MBIC values of E.coli E-10 were 12.5 μmol/L,and 50.0 μmol/L could significantly destroy the mature biofilm of E.coli.1,10-PHEN could in-hibit the formation of biofilm by inhibiting the adhesion ability of E.coli at the early stage of bio-film formation.1,10-PHEN could inhibit the synthesis and secretion of EPS from E.coli biofilm.1,10-PHEN could inhibit the synthesis and secretion of EPS from E.coli biofilm,and the inhibition rates of EPS at 1/4 MIC were 32％and 78％,respectively.The inhibitory rates of 1,10-PHEN on eDNA of ATCC 29522 and E-10 at 1/4 MIC concentration were 72％and 61％,respectively,and the inhibitory rates of MIC concentration on extracellular protein were 69％and 56％.In conclusion,1,10-PHEN has anti-biofilm activity against E.coli,which provides a new idea for find-ing alternative antibiotics.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease(MASLD)is the most prevalent chronic liver disease globally,with only one Food and Drug Administration(FDA)-approved drug for its treatment.Given MASLD's complex pathophysiology,ther-apies that simultaneously target multiple pathways are highly desirable.One promising approach is dual-modulation of the famesoid X receptor(FXR),which regulates lipid and bile acid metabolism.However,FXR agonists alone are insufficient due to their limited anti-inflammatory effects.This study aimed to dto identify natural products capable of both FXR activation and inflammation inhibition to provide a comprehensive therapeutic approach for MASLD.Potential FXR ligands from the Natural Product Library were predicted via virtual screening using the Protein Preparation Wizard module in Schrodinger(2018)for molecular docking.Direct binding and regulation of candidate compounds on FXR were analyzed using surface plasmon resonance(SPR)binding assay,reporter gene ana-lysis,and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).The anti-inflammatory properties of these compounds were eval-uated in AML12 cells treated with tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α).Dual-function compounds with FXR agonism and inflamma-tion inhibition were further identified in cells transfected with Fxr siRNA and treated with TNF-α.The effects of these dual-function compounds on lipid accumulation and inflammation were evaluated in cells treated with palmitic acid.Results revealed that 17 natural products were predicted via computational molecular docking as potential FXR agonists,with 15 exhibiting a strong affinity for FXR recombinant protein.Nine isoflavone compounds significantly enhanced FXR reporter luciferase activity and the mRNA expressions of Shp and Ostb.Structure-activity relationship analysis indicated that introducing isopropyl or methoxy groups at the C7 position or a methoxy group at the C6 position could enhance the agonistic efficacy of isoflavones.Three compounds(2,6,and 8)were identified as dual-function natural products functioning as FXR agonists and inflammatory inhibitors,while one compound(12)acted as an FXR agonist to inhibit inflammation.These natural products protected hepatocytes against palmitic acid-induced lipid accumulation and in-flammation.In conclusion,compounds 2,6,and 8(genistein,biochanin A,and 7-methoxyisoflavone,respectively)were identified as dual-function bioactive products that transactivate FXR and inhibit inflammation,serving as potential candidates or lead compounds for MASLD therapy.

Objective:To explore the relationship between family cohesion and suicide tendency among gradu-ate student and the role of resilience and coping style between them.Methods:A total of 3 945 graduate students were assessed with the Adolescents'Suicide Tendency(AST),Family Environment Scale(FES),Connor-David-sonResilience Scale(CD-RISC),and Trait Coping Style Questionnaire(TCSQ).The mediating effect of resilience and the moderating effect of positive coping style were examined by using latent moderate structural equations.Results:The degree of AST was negatively associated with the family cohesion scores(β=-0.22).The scores of CD-RISC played a partial mediating role between the scores of family cohesion and AST,and the media-ting effect was-3.92(95％CI:-4.44--3.41),the mediating effect accounted for 43.41％of the total effect.The scores of positive coping style played a moderating role in the relationship between the scores of gradu-ate student'AST and family cohesion(β=0.06).Conclusion:The suicide tendency of graduate students may be related to family cohesion,resilience and positive coping style.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between age and tongue pressure in healthy individuals using a newly-developed tongue pressure measuring device.Methods:A total of 154 healthy volunteers aged 20 to 97 years, without noticeable swallowing difficulties, were selected and divided into seven age groups: 20-29 years ( n=24), 30-39 years ( n=22), 40-49 years ( n=20), 50-59 years ( n=24), 60-69 years ( n=22), 70-79 years ( n=22), and 80 years or more ( n=20). Their maximum, minimum, average and initial pressures, work done, and coefficients of variation were measured using the newly designed tongue pressure measuring device in its intermittent and continuous measurement modes. The tongue pressures were correlated with age and gender. Results:The pressure data obtained using the new device were completely consistent with those from a manometer ( R=1). In the intermittent measurement mode, the readings showed that the maximum, minimum and average tongue pressures decreased significantly with age. In the continuous measurement mode, the initial tongue pressure, average pressure and work done also decreased significantly with age, while the coefficient of variation generally increased with age. There was a negative correlation between age and average tongue pressure ( R2=0.4). The relationship could be expressed as y=-0.8595x+ 103.3 (where x is age, and y is tongue pressure). However, no significant correlation was found between gender and tongue pressure. Conclusions:Tongue pressure and its stability are negatively correlated with age in healthy individuals without swallowing dysfunction, showing no significant correlation with gender.
