In recent years, because the complex system discrete model has brought good results in the application of many research directions such as human management analysis, control system prediction, and animal group prediction, how to combine the complex system discrete model with the prediction of enterprise brand communication effect has become a current research hotspot. Based on this, this paper studies the application of the discrete model based on the complex system in sports club to enterprise brand communication and designs a model of the impact of professional sports club on enterprise brand communication based on the SIR model and PSO algorithm. Firstly, this paper analyzes the research status of the impact on enterprise brand communication at home and abroad and optimizes and improves the impact of professional sports clubs on enterprise brand communication and the shortcomings of big data analysis technology in the current research. The complex system discrete model can accurately analyze the enterprise brand communication and conduct big data mining analysis with known professional sports clubs to achieve accurate calculation. The results show that in the process of analyzing the impact of professional sports clubs and enterprise brand communication, the communication mode design of professional sports clubs based on SIR-PSO algorithm can not only effectively deal with various complex discrete data evaluated by club users but also analyze and evaluate the impact of professional sports clubs on enterprise brand communication.

“…First, the difficulty in diagnosing and treating HCV infection increases the individual risk of liver disease progression ( 10 ). In addition, any untreated HCV-infected PWID is a reservoir of the virus that can cause the transmission and dissemination of the infection in its environment ( 11 ). Therefore, identifying new strategies to identify and treat HCV infection in PWID is a priority objective for the control of HCV infection.…”

Background and aimsThe burden hepatitis C infection in people with history or current drug use suppose a high risk of hepatic complications and transmission infectious disease. This population is poor linked to heath system and is difficult to achieve them and support treatment because they have high rates of lost follow-up. Our aim was to evaluate an intervention for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic hepatitis C and HIV in this population.MethodsSix-hundred and eighty-three people attended in Drugs and Addictions Centers (DAC) were asked to participate in health counseling and provide blood sample for test HCV, HIV, and syphilis from April 2019 to June 2020. Totally 556 subjects were surveyed and tested. All of them were assigned to a patient navigation program to improve health education and linking to the sanitary system. Hepatitis C infection patients were evaluated in an ampliated medical consult to evaluate hepatic stage with transient liver elastography and initiated Direct Acting Antivirals to achieve Sustained Viral Response.ResultsOf the 556 patients who agreed to participate in the study, 33 (5.9%) had active HCV infection. Of the 33 patients infected with HCV, three were lost to follow-up once the diagnosis of HCV infection was made. Twenty-eight patients (93.3%) completed treatment and 26 achieved Sustained Viral Response (78.8%). Of the 30 patients, seven (23.3%) had advanced fibrosis, and of these, four (16.6%) had liver cirrhosis. One of the cirrhotic patients had hepatic space-occupying lesions at the baseline evaluation and was diagnosed with hepatocarcinoma.ConclusionsOur study suggests that the implementation of strategies based on personalized intervention models can contribute to the control of HCV infection in DAC users.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the incidence of HCV remains high (around 1.5 million new patients every year), and 80% of patients with acute infection will progress to chronic hepatitis and develop cirrhosis and even liver cancer. Furthermore, some extrahepatic pathologies may be correlated with HCV (such as mixed cryoglobulinemia, porphyria cutanea tarda, lichen planus, glomerulonephritis, Sjogren’s syndrome, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin cell lymphoma, and others). In view of these secondary complications, together with the substantial risk of liver damage, the objective of this review was to research and suggest, based on the scientific evidence, the appropriate clinical use of drugs with direct antiviral action (AAD) according to the criteria of international medical organizations. This is to maximize the clinical benefits for patients and to facilitate access to DAA therapy for all patients with chronic hepatitis C. According to the WHO, no vaccine is currently available, and therapies using new antivirals and their combinations are now an effective and safer solution for patients than they have been in the past with the use of interferons. This study aims to analyse the history and knowledge of the pathogenic biomolecular mechanisms and current therapies for HCV.
