As a traditional nutritional and healthy cash crop in China, tea has certain significance in promoting human health and preventing and controlling chronic diseases. Studies have shown that the nutritional health effect of tea is due to its rich functional components, mainly including tea polyphenols, tea pigments, tea polysaccharides, theanine, alkaloids and other bioactive substances. At present, researchers from the academic circles have continuously carried out animal and human experiments on the health effects of various functional components of tea, which has accumulated abundant research data and materials. Based on this, this article reviews the literature on the nutritional and health effects of the main functional components of tea, and adopts the method of evidence-based research to screen and extract relevant data for qualitative and quantitative meta-analysis. Subsequently, the nutritional health effects of the five functional components of tea, namely tea polyphenols, tea pigments, tea polysaccharides, theanine, and alkaloids, are summarized and outlined. Studies have shown that tea polyphenols, tea pigments, tea polysaccharides, theanine and alkaloids have different health effects and are expected to play their unique roles in promoting human health and preventing and controlling diseases.

Objective:To compare the sustained virological response (SVR) and viral recurrence in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) after antiviral treatment, and to further analyze the influencing factors of liver-related events (LRE).Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study. A total of 1 844 CHC patients who visited the Department of Infectious Diseases of Hainan General Hospital from January 1st, 2013 to December 31st, 2022 were included. After screening, 891 patients were selected and divided into direct-acting antiviral agent (DAA) treatment group, interferon treatment group and non-antiviral treatment group based on different intervention measures. Propensity score matching was performed, and SVR and viral recurrence were compared among the three groups. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test, and multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the risk factors for LRE.Results:The confirmed CHC patients showed an increasing trend year by year (average annual change percentage=19.97%, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 10.46% to 30.30%, t=4.32, P<0.001). After propensity score matching, the total sample size of 891 CHC patients was 451, including 100 in the interferon treatment group, 311 in the DAA treatment group, and 40 in the non-antiviral treatment group. In the interferon treatment group, 89 cases (89.00%) achieved SVR and nine cases (9.00%) had recurrence. In the DAA treatment group, 306 cases (98.39%) achieved SVR and 10 cases (3.22%) had recurrence. The differences were statistically significant ( χ2=17.84 and 6.22, respectively, both P<0.05). Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that age (hazard ratio ( HR)=1.065, 95% CI 1.028 to 1.104, P<0.001), alcohol consumption ( HR=3.034, 95% CI 1.302 to 7.071, P=0.010) were independent risk factors for LRE in CHC patients, while albumin ( HR=0.858, 95% CI 0.802 to 0.917, P<0.001), DAA treatment ( HR=0.267, 95% CI 0.103 to 0.692, P=0.007) were protective factors. In CHC patients receiving antiviral treatment, diabetes ( HR=6.719, 95% CI 2.242 to 20.137, P<0.001), total bilirubin ( HR=1.111, 95% CI 1.054 to 1.171, P<0.001) and viral recurrence ( HR=4.646, 95% CI 1.322 to 16.321, P=0.017) were independent risk factors for LRE. Conclusions:Compared with interferon treatment, DAA treatment has a significantly higher SVR rate and a lower recurrence rate. Age and alcohol consumption are independent risk factors for LRE, while higher albumin levels and DAA treatment are protective factors. In CHC patients receiving antiviral treatment, diabetes, viral recurrence, and total bilirubin are independent risk factors for LRE.

Circular RNA(circRNA)represents a unique class of closed-loop structured non-coding RNAs involved in various biological processes such as cell proliferation,differentiation,and apopto-sis.They play a significant role in the development of numerous diseases,and also serve as poten-tial biomarkers and therapeutic targets.To explore the impact of circRNA on viral replication,this study performed an omics measurement and analysis of circRNA differential expression in MC38 cells infected with HY12 enterovirus.It was found that,following HY12 virus infection,the ex-pressionlevels of 570 circRNAs were upregulated,while 381 circRNAs were downregulated.A-mong the upregulated circRNAs,the significantly upregulated circRNA mmu_circ_0001083 was selected for further investigation into its association with HY12 infection and its impact on viral replication.The results indicated that after HY12 virus infection,the expression of host circRNA mmu_circ_0001083 significantly increased,and its expression level was dependent on the virus dos-age and time.Compared to normal MC38 cells infected with the HY12 virus,cells with knocked down expression of circRNA mmu_circ_0001083 showed reduced expression of the 2C protein and significantly lower viral titers.Conversely,after HY12 virus infection in MC38 cells with overexpressed circRNA mmu_circ_0001083,there was an increase in the expression of the 2C pro-tein and a significant rise in viral titers.These results suggest that the upregulation of host cir-cRNA mmu_circ_0001083 is significantly positively correlated with the replication of HY12 virus,meaning mmu_circ_0001083 plays a positive regulatory role in the replication of HY12.This find-ing lays a foundation for future in-depth studies on the regulatory mechanisms of circRNA on viral replication.

A recombinant enzyme-mediated nucleic acid amplification(RAA)technology combined with colloidal gold test strips was developed for the rapid detection of bovine enterovirus(BEV).Using the highly conserved BEV 5'UTR as the target sequence,the primers were designed and screened.Downstream primer labeled with biotin at the 5'end and the probe labeled with 6-FAM at the 5'end were used to establish the RT-RAA method.The test strips were assembled by using mouse-derived anti-6-FAM monoclonal antibody as the gold standard antibody,with a streptavidin encapsulated in the detection line and sheep anti-mouse IgG encapsulated in the quality control line.A RT-RAA-LFD method was established by combing RAA technique with the prepared later-al flow device test strips for the detection of bovine enterovirus nucleic acids.The specificity,sensi-tivity,repeatability,and clinical application of the method are also evaluated.The results showed that the optimal primer concentration of this method was 5 μmol/L,and the amplification of BEV nucleic acids was accomplished by reacting at 35 ℃ for 8 min with the lowest detection limit of 101 copies/μL.No cross-reactivity with bovine viral diarrhea virus,bovine parvovirus,and foot-and-mouth disease virus was observed.The efficacy for the prepared test strips was at least for 90 d kept at 4 ℃.Detection of 74 clinical samples yielded a similar result compared with RT-PCR method.The above results demonstrated that the BEV RT-RAA-LFD method established in this study has high sensitivity,specificity,and more convenient to use,which is suitable for clinical de-tection on-site and provides a new technical tool for the diagnosis and epidemiological investigation of BEV infection.
