The effects of tumor necrosis factor on cultured hepatocytes and non-parenchymal liver ceils in the mouse

The effects of tumor necrosis factor(TNF)on the cultured mouse hepa-tocytes and non-parenchymal liver cells were observed.It was found that therewere no significant changes of the morphological integrity and viability of thehepatocytes and the aspartate transferase level in the culture supernate after theaddition of TNF into the culture medium as compared with those of the normalcontrol,which indicates that TNF exerts no obvious cytotoxocity on the culturedmouse hepatocytes. In addition,there were also no significant changes of theabove mentioned parameters after TNF was added to the cocultures of hepato-cytes and non-parenchymal liver cells,which implies that the unactivated non-parenchymal liver cells are not involved in the TNF-related hepatocyte injury.

Assessment of Barriers and Challenges to the Screening and Linkages of Non-Communicable Diseases by Community Health Volunteers in Nyeri County, Kenya

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a significant global health challenge, contributing to 50% of worldwide morbidity and 63% of mortality. The burden is particularly substantial in low—and middle-income countries (LMICs), where 80% of NCD-related deaths occur. A quasi-experimental study addressed this challenge from May 2022 to March 2023. This study utilized a non-equivalent pre-and post-test design, with 300 participants in the quantitative and 70 in the qualitative. The study employed multistage cluster and random sampling to select ten community units, resulting in 150 community health volunteers (CHVs) in the control unit and 150 in the intervention group. Data collection was facilitated through the KOBO app. Qualitative data analysis involved six homogeneous focus group discussions (FGDs) and ten key informant interviews (KIIs), audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using N-Vivo 12. Despite efforts to implement screening programs and improve linkages to care, significant barriers persist. This article reviews these barriers, drawing on current literature and empirical evidence. Key obstacles identified include limited awareness, inadequate healthcare infrastructure, cultural beliefs, financial constraints, fragmented healthcare systems, and challenges linking individuals to appropriate care services. The article explores strategies to overcome these barriers, emphasizing the importance of collaborative approaches involving stakeholders at various levels. Addressing these challenges aims to strengthen NCD screening and linkages to care, ultimately improving health outcomes for populations globally. Several recommendations emerge from the study’s findings and literature review. Raising awareness about NCDs and preventive measures is crucial and can be achieved through targeted health education campaigns and community outreach programs. Addressing healthcare infrastructure deficiencies, such as inadequate facilities and workforce shortages, is essential to ensure access to quality care. Cultural beliefs and practices also play a significant role in shaping health-seeking behavior. Engaging with local communities and incorporating cultural sensitivity into healthcare delivery can help bridge the gap between traditional beliefs and modern healthcare practices. Financial constraints pose a significant barrier to healthcare services, particularly in LMICs. Innovative financing mechanisms, such as health insurance schemes or subsidies, can help alleviate this burden and improve access to care. Furthermore, the fragmented nature of healthcare systems can hinder effective NCD management. Enhancing coordination and integration between primary care providers, specialists, and community health workers is essential to ensure seamless care delivery and patient follow-up. Finally, strengthening linkages between screening programs and care services is critical for the timely diagnosis and management of NCDs. This requires establishing robust referral systems and ensuring continuity of care for patients throughout their healthcare journey. In conclusion, addressing the multifaceted barriers to NCD screening and care linkage is essential for improving health outcomes globally. By implementing targeted interventions and fostering collaboration among stakeholders, progress can be made towards reducing the burden of NCDs and promoting population health.

The Effect of English-Learning on Invitation Culture

This paper investigates the effect of English-learning of our invitation culture. There were 30 subjects who took a questionnaire. And these 30 were separated into two kinds - the ones who have learnt English for years and the ones who haven't learnt English at all. By the different answers of these two kinds of people, we can clearly see the changes caused by English learning. And the paper analyzes the data of the finished questionnaires from the aspects of social distribution, social function, preannouncement, invitation strategies, and cultural orientation. I hope my paper can be of some help to communications among people from different cultures.

Comparative Study of Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry and Culture Test for <i>Candida</i>Identification

Background: A new microorganism identification method using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has been developed, however, reports on its use for delineating Candida spp. are scarce. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the identification accuracy of mixed infection between culture test and MALDI-TOF MS. Materials and Methods: Eighty-nine denture wearers (average 74.0 ± 9 years) were selected. Specimens were immediately inoculated onto selective medium for CHROMagarTM Candida, and were also carried out using MALDI-TOF MS. The distribution frequencies of them were analyzed. Results: The numbers and rates of detection/non-detection by MALDI-TOF MS of genus Candida were 58/31 (65.2%/34.8%), respectively. Infection types were single infection in 34 (38.2%), mixed infection in 24 (27.0%), and non-infection in 31 (34.8%) cases. Concerning the single infection, C. albicans was the most predominant (58.8%), followed by C. parapsilosis (17.6%), C. glabrata (14.7%), C. tropicalis (5.9%), and C. krusei (2.9%). As for the mixed infection, the most frequent combination was C. albicans and C. glabrata (50.0%), followed by C. albicans and C. parapsilosis (29.2%), C. albicans and C. tropicalis (8.3%), C. glabrata and C. tropicalis (4.2%), C. albicans, C. glabrata, and C. parapsilosis (4.2%), and C. albicans, C. parapsilosis, and C. glabrata (4.2%). There were four MALDI-TOF MS positive results that were negative by the culture test. Conversely, there were six MALDI-TOF MS negative results that were positive by the culture test. The sensitivity and specificity of MALDI-TOF MS were 0.929 and 0.840, respectively. The concordance rate of genus Candida was 0.644, indicating substantial agreement. Conclusion: Candida infection is complicated by disease type and oral cavity environment changes due to aging. A rapid microorganism detection method, such as MALDI-TOF MS, will be helpful to quickly determine the causative pathogen in dental infections.

宗族文化对农村女性非农就业的影响

基于中国家庭追踪调查数据,从微观层面研究宗族文化对农村女性非农就业的影响及其作用机制。研究发现,宗族文化强度越大和宗族多样性越高都显著不利于农村女性参与非农就业。异质性分析结果表明,宗族文化对未婚女性非农就业无显著影响,对已婚女性非农就业存在显著负向影响,对生育阶段女性的影响显著强于非生育阶段女性。此外,宗族文化的影响存在地区差异,南方地区的宗族文化显著降低农村女性的非农就业概率,而北方地区的宗族文化无显著影响。在作用机制方面,证明了宗族文化通过影响生育行为、教育投资以及家庭分工进而制约农村女性参与非农就业。还进一步探究了宗族文化是否影响农村女性非农就业地点。结果显示,宗族文化虽然不利于农村女性非农就业,但对于已实现非农就业的女性而言,宗族文化有利于其跨县就业和跨省就业。促进农村女性非农就业是一个长期的、循序渐进的过程,需要在文化方面进行积极引导,不断完善农村社会保障体系,充分发挥非正式制度的积极作用。
