Abstract
Since 2020, clade 2.3.4.4b highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N8 and H5N1 viruses have swept through continents, posing serious threats to the world. Through comprehensive analyses of epidemiological, genetic, and bird migration data, we found that the dominant genotype replacement of the H5N8 viruses in 2020 contributed to the H5N1 outbreak in the 2021/2022 wave. The 2020 outbreak of the H5N8 G1 genotype instead of the G0 genotype produced reassortment opportunities and led to the emergence of a new H5N1 virus with G1's HA and MP genes. Despite extensive reassortments in the 2021/2022 wave, the H5N1 virus retained the HA and MP genes, causing a significant outbreak in Europe and North America. Furtherly, through the wild bird migration flyways investigation, we found that the temporal-spatial coincidence between the outbreak of the H5N8 G1 virus and the bird autumn migration may have expanded the H5 viral spread, which may be one of the main drivers of the emergence of the 2020-2022 H5 panzootic.IMPORTANCESince 2020, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5 subtype variants of clade 2.3.4.4b have spread across continents, posing unprecedented threats globally. However, the factors promoting the genesis and spread of H5 HPAI viruses remain unclear. Here, we found that the spatiotemporal genotype replacement of H5N8 HPAI viruses contributed to the emergence of the H5N1 variant that caused the 2021/2022 panzootic, and the viral evolution in poultry of Egypt and surrounding area and autumn bird migration from the Russia-Kazakhstan region to Europe are important drivers of the emergence of the 2020-2022 H5 panzootic. These findings provide important targets for early warning and could help control the current and future HPAI epidemics.

Abstract
Natural killer (NK) cells directly lysis the virus-infected cells through rapidly releasing cytotoxic mediators and cytokines. The balance between inhibitory and activated receptors on the surface of NK cells, as well as the corresponding ligands expressed on target cells are involved in the regulation of the cytotoxic function of NK cells. NKG2A is one of the highly anticipated inhibitory receptors expressed on NK cells, which can inhibit the cytotoxicity of NK cells to autologous normal tissue cells through interacting with the ligand HLA-E. The studies have shown that HLA-E is overexpressed on virus-infected cells and forms a complex with peptides derived from viral proteins. The interaction of HLA-E and NKG2A can regulate the functions of NK cells, participateing the pathogenesis process of virus infectious diseases. This review outlines the characteristics of the molecular interaction between NKG2A and HLA-E, as well as the mechanisms of NKG2A-HLA-E axis in regulating NK cell responses.

Abstract
The enamel of mammalian teeth is a highly mineralized tissue that must endure a lifetime of cyclic contact and is inspiring the development of next-generation engineering materials. Attempts to implement enamel-inspired structures in synthetic materials have had limited success, largely due to the absence of a detailed understanding of its microstructure. The present work used synchrotron phase-contrast microCT imaging to evaluate the three-dimensional microstructure of enamel from four mammals including Lion, Gray Wolf, Snow Leopard, and Black Bear. Quantitative results of image analysis revealed that the decussation pattern of enamel consists of discrete diazone (D) and parazone (P) bands of rods organized with stacking arrangement of D+/P/D-/P in all mammals evaluated; the D+ and D- refer to distinct diazone bands with juxtaposed rod orientations from the reference plane. Furthermore, the rod orientations in the bands can be described in terms of two principal angles, defined here as the pitch and yaw. While the pitch angle increases from the outer enamel to a maximum (up to ≈ 40°) near the dentin enamel junction, minimal spatial variations are observed in yaw across the enamel thickness. There are clear differences in the decussation parameters of enamel across species that are interpreted here with respect to the structural demands placed on their teeth. The rod pitch and band width of enamel are identified as important design parameters and appear to be correlated with the bite force quotient of the four mammals evaluated. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The multi-functionality of tooth enamel requires both hardness and resistance to fracture, properties that are generally mutually exclusive. Ubiquitous to all mammalian teeth, the enamel is expected to have undergone adaptations in microstructure to accommodate the differences in diet, body size and bite force across animals. For the first time, we compare the complex three-dimensional microstructure of enamel from teeth of multiple mammalian species using synchrotron micro-computed tomography. The findings provide new understanding of the "design" of mammalian enamel microstructures, as well as how specific parameters associated with the decussation of rods appear to be engineered to modulate its fracture resistance.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a gestational disorder characterized by hyperglycemia, that can lead to dysfunction of diverse cells in the body, especially the immune cells. It has been reported that immune cells, specifically natural killer (NK) cells, play a crucial role in normal pregnancy. However, it remains unknown how hyperglycemia affects NK cell dysfunction thus participates in the development of GDM. In this experiment, GDM mice were induced by an intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) after pregnancy and it has been found that the intrauterine growth restriction occurred in mice with STZ-induced GDM, accompanied by the changed proportion and function of NK cells. The percentage of cytotoxic CD27-CD11b+ NK cells was significantly increased, while the proportion of nourished CD27-CD11b- NK cells was significantly reduced in the decidua of GDM mice. Likewise, the same trend appeared in the peripheral blood NK cell subsets of GDM patients. What's more, after intrauterine reinfusion of NK cells to GDM mice, the fetal growth restriction was alleviated and the proportion of NK cells was restored. Our findings provide a theoretical and experimental basis for further exploring the pathogenesis of GDM.

Abstract
Taro is a plant in the Araceae family, and its leafstalk possesses significant botanical and culinary value owing to its noteworthy medicinal and nutritional attributes. Leafstalk colour is an essential attribute that significantly influences its desirability and appeal to both breeders and consumers. However, limited information is available about the underlying mechanism responsible for the taro plant's colouration. Thus, the purpose of the current study was to elucidate the information on purple leafstalks in taro through comprehensive metabolome and transcriptome analysis. In total, 187 flavonoids, including 10 anthocyanins, were identified. Among the various compounds analysed, it was observed that the concentrations of five anthocyanins (keracyanin chloride (cyanidin 3-O-rutinoside chloride), cyanidin 3-O-glucoside, tulipanin (delphinidin 3-rutinoside chloride), idaein chloride (cyanidin 3-O-galactoside), and cyanidin chloride) were found to be higher in purple taro leafstalk compared to green taro leafstalk. Furthermore, a total of 3330 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified by transcriptome analysis. Subsequently, the correlation network analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between the expression levels of these differentially expressed genes and the content of anthocyanin. There were 18 DEGs encoding nine enzymes detected as the fundamental structural genes contributing to anthocyanin biosynthesis, along with seven transcription factors (3 MYB and 4 bHLH) that may be promising candidate modulators of the anthocyanin biosynthesis process in purple taro leafstalk. The findings of the current investigation not only provide a comprehensive transcriptional code, but also give information on anthocyanin metabolites as well as beneficial insights into the colour mechanism of purple taro leafstalk.

Abstract
PURPOSE The characteristics of cytokine/chemokine(CK) profiles across different courses of chronic hepatitis B virus infection and the effects of NAs antiviral therapy on cytokine profiles remain unclear. METHODS This report provides evidence from 383 patients with chronic HBV infection. The Luminex multiple cytokine detection technology was used to detect CK profiles. The predictive power of CKs across course of disease was assessedusing univariate analyses and with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. RESULTS Compared to healthy control (HC), expression levels of interleukin 6 (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-21, matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-2 and tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR)-1 showed a significant increasing trend during chronic HBV infection. IL-23 and IL-33 increased respectively in chronic hepatitis B patients (CHB). interferon (IFN)-gamma and TNF-α changed significantly only in liver cirrhosis (LC) patients. Whereas, myeloid-related markers decreased dramatically in those with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The ROC result suggests that combining IL-6, IL-8, CXCL9 and CXCL13 into a nomogram has closely correlation with HCC during chronic HBV infection. In addition, nucleotide analogues (NAs) antiviral treatments are capable of recoveringnormal liver functions and significantly reducing the viral loads, however, they seem to have a limited effect in changing CKs, especially specific antiviral factors. CONCLUSION The differential CK and virological markers may serve as potential indicators of distinct immune statuses in chronic HBV infection. They also underscore the varying efficacy and limitations of NAs antiviral therapies. This next step would to break new ground in the optimization of current anti-HBV treatment programs although this requires further research.

Abstract
We evaluated cellular immune responses induced by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines in an immunized population based on HLA-E-restricted CD8+ T cell epitope identification. HLA-E-restricted SARS-CoV-2 CD8+ T cell nonamer peptides were predicted with software. An HLA-E-transfected K562 cell binding assay was used to screen for high-affinity peptides. IFN-γ enzyme-linked immunospot assays were used to identify HLA-E-restricted epitopes. An HLA-E/epitope tetramer was employed to detect the frequencies of epitope-specific CD8+ T cells. Four CD8+ T cell epitopes on the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 restricted by both HLA-E*0101 and E*0103 were identified. HLA-E-restricted epitope-specific IFN-γ-secreting CD8+ T cell responses could be detected in individuals vaccinated with SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. Importantly, the frequencies of epitope-specific CD8+ T cells in Ad5-nCoV vaccinated individuals were higher than in individuals vaccinated with recombinant protein or inactivated vaccines. Moreover, the frequencies of epitope-specific CD8+ T cells could be maintained for at least 120 days after only one dose of Ad5-nCoV vaccine, while the frequencies of epitope-specific CD8+ T cells decreased in individuals after two doses of Ad5-nCoV vaccine. These findings may contribute to a more comprehensive evaluation of the protective effects of vaccines for SARS-CoV-2; meanwhile, they may provide information to characterize HLA-E-restricted CD8+ T cell immunity against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Abstract
Yearly epidemics of seasonal influenza cause an enormous disease burden around the globe. An understanding of the rules behind the immune response with repeated vaccination still presents a significant challenge, which would be helpful for optimizing the vaccination strategy. In this study, 34 healthy volunteers with 16 vaccinated were recruited, and the dynamics of the BCR repertoire for consecutive vaccinations in two seasons were tracked. In terms of diversity, length, network, V and J gene segments usage, somatic hypermutation (SHM) rate and isotype, it was found that the overall changes were stronger in the acute phase of the first vaccination than the second vaccination. However, the V gene segments of IGHV4-39, IGHV3-9, IGHV3-7 and IGHV1-69 were amplified in the acute phase of the first vaccination, with IGHV3-7 dominant. On the other hand, for the second vaccination, the changes were dominated by IGHV1-69, with potential for coding broad neutralizing antibody. Additional analysis indicates that the application of V gene segment for IGHV3-7 in the acute phase of the first vaccination was due to the elevated usage of isotypes IgM and IgG3. While for IGHV1-69 in the second vaccination, it was contributed by isotypes IgG1 and IgG2. Finally, 41 public BCR clusters were identified in the vaccine group, with both IGHV3-7 and IGHV1-69 were involved and representative complementarity determining region 3 (CDR3) motifs were characterized. This study provides insights into the immune response dynamics following repeated influenza vaccination in humans and can inform universal vaccine design and vaccine strategies in the future.

Abstract
Dental caries is the most common oral disease and the most common cause of resin restorations. In minimally invasive dentistry, the principle behind cavity preparation is to remove external caries-infected dentin (CID) and preserve internal caries-affected dentin (CAD) and sound dentin (SD). The cavity floor is mainly composed of CAD, but the poor bonding performance of CAD has become a widespread concern. This study evaluated the performance of a new collagen-reactive monomer (ITCM) used as a primer to improve the bonding performance of CAD. The experimental specimens were grouped as follows: SD, CAD, and ITCM-pretreated CAD (CAD-ITCM). Dentin slices were obtained for attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) analysis. The bonded samples were subjected to microtensile bond strength analysis after 24 h of water storage or aging by thermocycling, and the bonding interface quality was evaluated by nanoleakage assessment, interfacial nanoindentation testing, and in situ zymography. Cytotoxicity experiments with ITCM were performed. ATR-FTIR showed that the isocyanate groups in ITCM can covalently bind and form hydrogen bonds with the collagen in CAD to mediate chemical bonding. ITCM pretreatment significantly improved the bond strength of CAD (P < 0.05), reduced interfacial nanoleakage, improved the sealing of the bonding interface, enhanced the homogeneity of the hybrid layer, and inhibited matrix metalloproteinase activity. In addition, ITCM presented acceptable biocompatibility for dental restorative application. Taken together, this study reported the application of ITCM to induce collagen-based chemical bonding in the CAD bonding system, which fills the gap in strategies to improve the bonding performance of CAD immediately and after aging and has important clinical application prospects.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the clinical outcomes of endovascular therapy in acute stroke patients with anterior circulation tandem occlusions caused by atherosclerosis or dissection. Methods: A retrospective cohort study. A total of 98 patients with anterior circulation tandem lesions undergoing endovascular therapy in the Wuhan NO.1 Hospital (March 2016 to March 2022) were analyzed. Median age was 64(55,71) years old, and 82.7% (81/98 cases) were males. According to the lesion etiology, the patients were divided into atherosclerosis and dissection groups. The differences in clinical outcomes between the two groups were investigated, including favorable 90-day functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale score of 0-2), successful reperfusion (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebrovascular Infarction score of 2b-3), symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, stroke-associated pneumonia, 90-day all-cause mortality, and average hospitalization days. Logistic regression analysis was used to adjust for potential confounders affecting functional outcomes in both groups, and to determine odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Results: Seventy-one patients were grouped into the atherosclerotic cause and 27 into the dissection cause cohorts. The rate of favorable 90-day functional outcome was 43.7% (31/71 cases) in the atherosclerosis group versus 55.6% (15/27 cases) in the dissection group (adjusted odds ratio=1.339; 95% confidence interval, 0.374-4.798; P=0.654). No significant differences were found in other clinical outcomes between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion: The clinical prognosis of patients with tandem lesions caused by atherosclerotic stenosis or artery dissection was similar after endovascular therapy. Future studies are still needed to verify our results.

Abstract
Flowering Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa var. parachinensis) is one of the most popular vegetables in the south of China. As an antioxidant, anthocyanin is an important quality trait in vegetables, and the gene related to anthocyanin biosynthesis in purple flowering Chinese cabbage is also important. In this study, two flowering Chinese cabbage with extreme colors in the stem were used as materials for transcriptome analysis. RNA-seq analysis showed that 6811 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, including 295 transcription factors. Phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, flavone and flavanol biosynthesis, and flavonoid biosynthesis pathways were found to be significantly enriched in the purple flowering Chinese cabbage. A total of 25 DEGs associated with anthocyanin biosynthesis were found at a higher expression in purple flowering Chinese cabbage than in green flowering Chinese cabbage. Bioinformatics analysis shows that BrMYB114 is a candidate gene for the regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis, and heterologous expression analysis of BrMYB114 in Nicotiana benthamiana indicates that BrMYB114 functions in anthocyanin biosynthesis. Therefore, our findings provide vital evidence for elucidating the molecular mechanism in the purple stem in flowering Chinese cabbage.

Abstract
Monocular elevation deficiency (MED) is a functional defect in upward eye movement caused by paralysis, restriction, or a combination of factors. The affected eye experiences limited movement in the upward, nasal, and temporal directions, often accompanied by downward deviation and ptosis. Previously known as double elevator palsy (DEP), MED can result from muscle paralysis responsible for upward movement, restriction of the inferior rectus muscle, or lesions in the supranuclear pathway. The Knapp procedure was once the most commonly used surgical approach for MED. However, in cases involving restriction of the inferior rectus muscle, a staged approach combining inferior rectus muscle weakening and subsequent Knapp procedure is necessary to avoid anterior segment ischemia. This has led to the development of alternative surgical techniques, such as single-rectus muscle transposition, partial tendon transposition, and muscle belly transposition. Differentiating MED subtypes based on the underlying paralysis or restriction etiology is crucial for determining the appropriate surgical plan. This review article summarizes the clinical features, classification, and available surgical options for MED, aiming to provide valuable insights for clinical research and treatment.

Abstract
Peanut yield in southern China is usually limited by calcium deficiency in soil. Most previous studies have found that small-seed varieties showed higher tolerance than large-seed varieties (e.g. Virginia type) under calcium deficiency, however, our preliminary research found that sensitive varieties also existed in small-seed counterparts. Few studies have been conducted to characterize low-calcium tolerance among small-seed germplasms with genetic diversity, and the differences in physiological characteristics between sensitive and tolerant varieties has not been reported yet. Thus, in order to better understand such differences, the current study firstly collected and characterized a diversity germplasm panel consisting of 50 small-seed peanut genotypes via a 2-year field trial, followed by the physiological characterization in sensitive (HN032) and tolerant (HN035) peanut genotypes under calcium deficiency. As a result, the adverse effects brought by calcium deficiency on calcium uptake and distribution in HN032 was much larger than HN035. In details, calcium uptake in the aboveground part (leaves and stems) was reduced by 16.17% and 33.66%, while in the underground part (roots and pods), it was reduced by 13.69% and 68.09% under calcium deficiency for HN035 and HN032, respectively; The calcium distribution rate in the pods of HN035 was 2.74 times higher than HN032. The utilization efficiency of calcium in the pods of HN035 was 1.68 and 1.37 times than that of HN032 under calcium deficiency and sufficiency, respectively. In addition, under calcium deficiency conditions, the activities of antioxidant enzymes SOD, POD, and CAT, as well as the MDA content, were significantly increased in the leaves of HN032, peanut yield was significantly reduced by 22.75%. However, there were no significant changes in the activities of antioxidant enzymes, MDA content, and peanut yield in HN035. Therefore, higher calcium absorption and utilization efficiency may be the key factors maintaining peanut yield in calcium-deficient conditions for tolerant genotypes. This study lays a solid foundation for selecting low-calcium tolerant varieties in future peanut breeding.

Abstract
Monocytes are important target cells of various hemorrhagic fever viruses. In viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs), monocytes can be infected by viruses and produce different kinds of cytokines, which contribute to the antiviral immune response and participation in the immunopathogenesis of VHFs. During the pathogenesis of various VHFs (early stage), monocytes change in cell counting, subpopulation distribution and expression of surface molecules with an activated phenotype. Several hemorrhagic fever viruses can infect monocytes and induce immune response, which may play an important role in immunopathological injury. Monocytes and the cytokines they produce may interact with platelets and vascular endothelial cells, contributing to disease progression.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is one of the main complications in type I diabetic patients. Activated macrophage is critical for directing the process of inflammation during the development of DCM. The present study focused on the roles of CD226 on macrophage function during the DCM progression. It has been found that the number of cardiac macrophages in the hearts of streptozocin (STZ)-induced diabetes mice was significantly increased compared with that in non-diabetes mice, and the expression level of CD226 on cardiac macrophages in STZ-induced diabetes mice was higher than that in non-diabetes mice. CD226 deficiency attenuated the diabetes-induced cardiac dysfunction and decreased the proportion of CD86+ F4/80+ macrophages in the diabetic hearts. Notably, adoptive transfer of Cd226-/- - bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) alleviated diabetes-induced cardiac dysfunction, which may be due to the attenuated migration capacity of Cd226-/- -BMDM under high glucose stimulation. Furthermore, CD226 deficiency decreased the macrophage glycolysis accompanying by the downregulated hexokinase 2 (HK2) and lactate dehydrogenase A (LDH-A) expression. Taken together, these findings revealed the pathogenic roles of CD226 played in the process of DCM and provided a basis for the treatment of DCM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peanut is an economically-important oilseed crop and needs a large amount of calcium for its normal growth and development. Calcium deficiency usually leads to embryo abortion and subsequent abnormal pod development. Different tolerance to calcium deficiency has been observed between different cultivars, especially between large and small-seed cultivars. RESULTS In order to figure out different molecular mechanisms in defensive responses between two cultivars, we treated a sensitive (large-seed) and a tolerant (small-seed) cultivar with different calcium levels. The transcriptome analysis identified a total of 58 and 61 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) within small-seed and large-seed peanut groups under different calcium treatments, and these DEGs were entirely covered by gene modules obtained via weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the blue-module genes in the large-seed cultivar were mainly enriched in plant-pathogen attack, phenolic metabolism and MAPK signaling pathway, while the green-module genes in the small-seed cultivar were mainly enriched in lipid metabolism including glycerolipid and glycerophospholipid metabolisms. By integrating DEGs with WGCNA, a total of eight hub-DEGs were finally identified, suggesting that the large-seed cultivar concentrated more on plant defensive responses and antioxidant activities under calcium deficiency, while the small-seed cultivar mainly focused on maintaining membrane features to enable normal photosynthesis and signal transduction. CONCLUSION The identified hub genes might give a clue for future gene validation and molecular breeding to improve peanut survivability under calcium deficiency.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Sindbis virus (SINV) is a naturally occurring oncolytic virus that kills cancer cells and is less harmful to normal cells. In this study, a recombinant SINV, which expressed green and blue fluorescent proteins, was used to precisely analyze SINV infection and replication. MATERIALS AND METHODS Antiviral responses, including IFN-β mRNA, protein kinase R (PKR), NF-B, and caspase 3/7, were analyzed in SINV-infected cancerous HeLa cells and normal human fibroblast TIG-1-20 cells. RESULTS SINV could infect, replicate, and proliferate both in HeLa and TIG-1-20 cells, causing lytic infection only in HeLa cells. SINV grew preferentially in HeLa cells causing remarkable apoptosis. IFN-β mRNA expression was suppressed in SINV-infected HeLa cells compared to that in TIG-1-20 cells. Further analyses of PKR and NF-B upstream of IFN-β induction revealed that the compromised response in the PKR-NF-B pathway during early infection coincided with IFN induction suppression in HeLa cells. CONCLUSION Dysregulation of PKR in HeLa cells is the determinant of SINV oncolysis.

Abstract
The concept of "ntigen"is a relative one. The narrow concept of it condenses the process of activation of adaptive immune response and re-recognition of the same antigen, revealing the protective mechanism of vaccines with great significance for research and development of vaccines. However, the narrow concept involves adaptive immune system members: B cells, T cells and their effector products, which is difficult for beginners to understand the inherent meaning. Meanwhile, antigen classification fully summarizes the immune response process, so a variety of classification approach increases the difficulty in learning. Our teaching team analyzes the difficulties of this chapter in depth, and we implements the strategy that takes antibody structure and function as the breakthrough point and simplified adaptive immune response process as the core in teaching. A mind map that includes the main contents of this chapter is made during the process, which promotes the effectiveness of classroom teaching greatly.

Abstract
Background Most existing prognostic models of COVID-19 require imaging manifestations and laboratory results as predictors, which are only available in the post-hospitalization period. Therefore, we aimed to develop and validate a prognostic model to assess the in-hospital death risk in COVID-19 patients using routinely available predictors at hospital admission. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients with COVID-19 using the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project State Inpatient Database in 2020. Patients hospitalized in Eastern United States (Florida, Michigan, Kentucky, and Maryland) were included in the training set, and those hospitalized in Western United States (Nevada) were included in the validation set. Discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility were evaluated to assess the model's performance. Results A total of 17 954 in-hospital deaths occurred in the training set (n = 168 137), and 1,352 in-hospital deaths occurred in the validation set (n = 12 577). The final prediction model included 15 variables readily available at hospital admission, including age, sex, and 13 comorbidities. This prediction model showed moderate discrimination with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.726 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.722-0.729) and good calibration (Brier score = 0.090, slope = 1, intercept = 0) in the training set; a similar predictive ability was observed in the validation set. Conclusion An easy-to-use prognostic model based on predictors readily available at hospital admission was developed and validated for the early identification of COVID-19 patients with a high risk of in-hospital death. This model can be a clinical decision-support tool to triage patients and optimize resource allocation.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the relationship between disease courses and severity and monocyte subsets distribution and surface CD31 intensity in patients of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). Methods Peripheral blood samples from 29 HFRS patients and 13 normal controls were collected. The dynamic changes of classical monocyte subsets (CD14++CD16-), intermediated monocyte subsets (CD14++CD16+) and non-classical monocyte subsets (CD14+CD16++) and the mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) of CD31 on monocyte subsets were detected by multiple-immunofluorescent staining and flow cytometry. Results In acute phase of HFRS, the ratio of classical monocyte subsets to total monocytes was dramatically decreased compared to convalescent phase and normal control. It was still much lower in convalescent phase compared to normal controls. The ratio of classical monocyte subsets to total monocytes were decreased in HFRS patients compared to that in normal control, whereas there was no difference between severe/critical groups and mild/moderate groups. On the contrary, the ratio of intermediate monocyte subsets to total monocytes in acute phase of HFRS was significantly increased compared to convalescent phase and normal control. The ratio of intermediate monocyte subsets to total monocytes were increased in HFRS patients compared to that in normal control, whereas no difference was found between severe/critical groups and mild/moderate groups. Phases or severity groups had no difference in ratio of non-classical monocyte subsets to total monocytes. Additionally, the ratio of classical monocyte subsets had a tendency to decline and that of intermediate monocyte subsets showed an increase both to total monocytes between the acute and convalescent phases in 11 HFRS patients with paired-samples. Moreover, in acute phase of HFRS, the mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) of CD31 on three monocyte subsets all decreased, specifically classical monocyte subsets showed the highest MFI of CD31 while the normal control reported the highest MFI of CD31 in non-classical monocyte subsets. In convalescent phase, the MFI of CD31 on classical and intermediated monocyte subsets were both lower than that of normal control, while MFI of CD31 was still significantly lower than normal control on non-classical monocyte subsets. Finally, MFI of CD31 on classical and intermediated monocyte subsets in severe/critical group were both lower than those in mild/moderate group, showing no statistical difference in MFI of CD31 on non-classical monocyte subset across groups of different disease severity. Conclusion The ratio of classical and intermediated monocyte subsets to total monocytes are correlated with the course of HFRS, and so are the surface intensity of CD31 on these monocyte subsets with the disease course and severity. The surface intensity of CD31 on non-classical monocyte subsets, however, is correlated only with the course of the disease. Together, the underlying mechanisms for the observed changes in monocyte subsets in HFRS patients should be further investigated.

Abstract
Pueraria thomsonii and Pueraria lobata are important medicinal plants with unique chemical compositions that are widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. To compare the nutritional and medicinal profiles of these two species, we analyzed the flavonoid, dietary fiber, total starch, and crude protein contents of one P. lobata and three P. thomsonii varieties using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, enzyme weight, acid hydrolysis, and Kjeldahl methods. Furthermore, we used principal component analysis and hierarchical clustering heatmap analysis to separate the data obtained from the P. thomsonii and P. lobata samples. We detected 279 flavonoid compounds in the two Pueraria species, including 90 isoflavones and 78 flavonoids. A large proportion of isoflavones and flavonoids were more abundant in P. lobata than in P. thomsonii. The total starch content was significantly higher in P. thomsonii than in P. lobata. By contrast, the soluble dietary fiber, insoluble dietary fiber, and crude protein contents were substantially lower in P. thomsonii than in P. lobata. Taken together, our results demonstrate that P. lobata is better suited for use as a medicine, whereas P. thomsonii is better suited as an edible food, and provide a theoretical foundation for developing P. thomsonii and P. lobata germplasm resources.

Abstract
IntroductionCoronavirus disease 2019 is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Influential variants and mutants of this virus continue to emerge, and more effective virus-related information is urgently required for identifying and predicting new mutants. According to earlier reports, synonymous substitutions were considered phenotypically silent; thus, such mutations were frequently ignored in studies of viral mutations because they did not directly cause amino acid changes. However, recent studies have shown that synonymous substitutions are not completely silent, and their patterns and potential functional correlations should thus be delineated for better control of the pandemic.MethodsIn this study, we estimated the synonymous evolutionary rate (SER) across the SARS-CoV-2 genome and used it to infer the relationship between the viral RNA and host protein. We also assessed the patterns of characteristic mutations found in different viral lineages.ResultsWe found that the SER varies across the genome and that the variation is primarily influenced by codon-related factors. Moreover, the conserved motifs identified based on the SER were found to be related to host RNA transport and regulation. Importantly, the majority of the existing fixed-characteristic mutations for five important virus lineages (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Omicron) were significantly enriched in partially constrained regions.DiscussionTaken together, our results provide unique information on the evolutionary and functional dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 based on synonymous mutations and offer potentially useful information for better control of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

Abstract
Hantaan virus (HTNV) infection causes an epidemic of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) mainly in Asia. Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are innate-like T lymphocytes known to play an important role in innate host defense during virus infection. However, their roles and phenotypes during HTNV infection have not yet been explored. We characterized CD8+MAIT cells from HFRS patients based on scRNA-seq data combined with flow cytometry data. We showed that HTNV infection caused the loss and activation of CD8+MAIT cells in the peripheral blood, which were correlated with disease severity. The production of granzyme B and IFN-γ from CD8+MAIT cells and the limitation of HTNV replication in endothelia cells indicated the anti-viral property of CD8+MAIT cells. In addition, in vitro infection of MAIT cells by HTNV or HTNV-exposed monocytes showed that the activation of MAIT cells was IL-18 mediated. In conclusion, this study identified, for the first time, gene expression profiles of MAIT cells, provided underlying molecular mechanisms for activation of MAIT cells during HTNV infection, and suggested a potential anti-viral role of MAIT cells in HFRS.

Abstract
Natural killer cell-based immunotherapy has become a leading-edge tool against cancer, but still faces a variety of challenges, such as phenotype shift and dysfunction of NK cells in tumor microenvironment. Thus, finding potent agents that could inhibit the phenotype shift and incapacity of NK cells in the tumor microenvironment is essential for improving antitumor effects. dl-tetrahydropalmatine (dl-THP), one of the active alkaloids of Chinese herb Corydalis Rhizoma, has been proven to possess antitumor activity. However, whether dl-THP acts on NK cells to enhance antitumor activity remains unknown. In this study, we found that the proportion of blood CD56dimCD16+ NK cells was decreased while the proportion of CD56brightCD16- NK cells was increased when the cells were cultured in conditional medium (CM, medium from the human choriocarcinoma cell lines JEG-3). dl-THP could alter the varied proportion of CD56dimCD16+ NK cells and CD56brightCD16- NK cells in CM respectively. Importantly, the expression level of NKp44 on CD56dimCD16+ NK cells was dramatically reduced when the cells were cultured in CM, which could also be reversed by dl-THP. Furthermore, dl-THP increased the decreased NK-cell cytotoxicity when cells were cultured in CM. In summary, our study demonstrated that dl-THP could recover the decreased NKp44 expression level on CD56dimCD16+ NK cells and restore the cytotoxicity of NK cells in tumor microenvironment.

Abstract
Introduction Influenza susceptibility difference is a widely existing trait that has great practical significance for the accurate prevention and control of influenza. Methods Here, we focused on the human susceptibility to the seasonal influenza A/H3N2 of healthy adults at baseline level. Whole blood expression data for influenza A/H3N2 susceptibility from GEO were collected firstly (30 symptomatic and 19 asymptomatic). Then to explore the differences at baseline, a suite of systems biology approaches - the differential expression analysis, co-expression network analysis, and immune cell frequencies analysis were utilized. Results We found the baseline condition, especially immune condition between symptomatic and asymptomatic, was different. Co-expression module that is positively related to asymptomatic is also related to immune cell type of naïve B cell. Function enrichment analysis showed significantly correlation with "B cell receptor signaling pathway", "immune response-activating cell surface receptor signaling pathway" and so on. Also, modules that are positively related to symptomatic are also correlated to immune cell type of neutrophils, with function enrichment analysis showing significantly correlations with "response to bacterium", "inflammatory response", "cAMP-dependent protein kinase complex" and so on. Responses of symptomatic and asymptomatic hosts after virus exposure show differences on resisting the virus, with more effective frontline defense for asymptomatic hosts. A prediction model was also built based on only baseline transcription information to differentiate symptomatic and asymptomatic population with accuracy of 0.79. Discussion The results not only improve our understanding of the immune system and influenza susceptibility, but also provide a new direction for precise and targeted prevention and therapy of influenza.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microgravity directly disturbs the reorganization of the cytoskeleton, exerting profound effects on the physiological process of macrophages. Although it has been established that macrophage M1/M2 polarization could be manipulated by the surface nanostructure of biomaterial in our previous study under normal gravity, how will inflammatory monocytes (iMos)-derived macrophages respond to diverse nanostructured Ti surfaces under normal gravity or microgravity remains unrevealed. RESULTS In this study, Cytochalasin D, a cytoskeleton relaxant, was employed to establish the simulated microgravity (SMG) environment. Our results showed that human iMos polarized into M2c macrophages on NT5 surface but M1 type on NT20 surface with divergent inflammatory phenotypes according to the profile of macrophage polarization featured molecules under normal gravity. However, such manipulative effects of NTs surfaces on iMos-derived macrophages were strikingly weakened by SMG, characterized by the altered macrophage morphology, changed cytokine secretion profile, and decreased cell polarization capacity. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this is the first metallic implantable material study focusing on the functions of specific monocyte subsets and its crucial role of the cytoskeleton in materials-mediated host immune response, which enriches our mechanism knowledge about the crosstalk between immunocytes and biomaterials. The results obtained in the present study may also provide potential targets and strategies for biomaterial development and clinical treatment via precise immune-regulation under normal gravity and microgravity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hantaan virus (HTNV) infection can cause severe hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). Inflammatory monocytes (iMOs) are involved in early antiviral responses. Previous studies have found that blood iMOs numbers increase in the acute phase of HFRS. Here, we further identified the phenotypic characteristics of iMOs in HFRS and explored whether phenotypic changes in iMOs were associated with HFRS severity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Blood samples from 85 HFRS patients were used for phenotypic analysis of iMOs by flow cytometry. Plasma HTNV load was determined using RT-PCR. THP-1 cells overexpressing CD226 were used to investigate the effects of CD226 on HLA-DR/DP/DQ and CD80 expression. A mouse model was used to test macrophage phenotype following HTNV infection. RESULTS The proportion of CD226- iMOs in the acute phase of HFRS was 66.83 (35.05-81.72) %, which was significantly higher than that in the convalescent phase (5.32 (1.36-13.52) %) and normal controls (7.39 (1.15-18.11) %) (p < 0.0001). In the acute phase, the proportion of CD226- iMOs increased more in patients with more severe HFRS and correlated positively with HTNV load and negatively with platelet count. Notably, CD226- iMOs expressed lower levels of HLA-DR/DP/DQ and CD80 than CD226+ iMOs, and overexpression CD226 could enhance the expression of HLA-DR/DP/DQ and CD80. In a mouse model, HTNV also induced the expansion of CD226- macrophages, with decreased expression of I-A/I-E and CD80. CONCLUSIONS CD226- iMOs increased during HTNV infection and the decrease in CD226 hampered the expression of HLA-DR/DP/DQ and CD80, which may promote the immune escape of HTNV and exacerbate clinical symptoms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The bleeding tendency is a hallmark of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) after Hantaan virus (HTNV) infection. Growing reports indicate the importance of osteoprotegerin (OPG) in vascular homeostasis, implying OPG might be involved in the pathogenesis of coagulopathy in patients with HFRS. METHODS Acute and convalescence plasmas of 32 patients with HFRS were collected. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) were used to detect plasma OPG levels and other parameters. The human umbilical vein endothelial cells were stimulated with HTNV and/or tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) to explore the source of OPG. RESULTS Plasma OPG levels of patients with HFRS were elevated and correlated positively with the severity of HFRS and negatively with platelet counts. Abundant OPG was released from endothelial cells in response to TNF-α stimuli, along with HTNV infection, which was in accordance with the findings of positive correlations between plasma OPG and TNF-α or c-reactive protein. Importantly, plasma OPG levels correlated positively with activated partial thromboplastin time and the content of d-dimer. CONCLUSION These findings suggested that increased plasma OPG levels induced by HTNV might be an important factor for the severity of HFRS, and was likely involved in endothelium dysfunction and hemorrhagic disorder of HFRS, which might contribute to the pathogenesis of hemorrhage in HFRS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) poses serious challenges to public health. Only a few sporadic reports of strains co-producing NDM-1 and KPC-2 (NDM-1-KPC-2-CR-hvKP strains) are available to date. OBJECTIVES This retrospective study investigated the clinical features, prevalence and antibiotic resistance of hvKP in a tertiary hospital in central China, and characterized an NDM-1-KPC-2-CR-hvKP strain (KP169). METHODS Clinical data were collected. Antimicrobial and virulence-associated phenotyping and genotyping, capsular serotype gene analysis and multi-locus sequence typing of hvKP isolates were performed. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed on strain KP169. RESULTS Forty-five of 109 K. pneumoniae clinical isolates were hvKP. Of these, 37 originated from nosocomial infections and 24 expressed carbapenemases. Eight NDM-1-KPC-2-CR-hvKP strains were identified, and enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus polymerase chain reaction showed that they were clonally related. WGS revealed that strain KP169, which belongs to ST11-K64, had a single 5.5-Mb chromosome and six plasmids of 5.5-221.6 kb. The blaNDM-1 gene was located on plasmid pKP169-P3, and blaKPC-2, blaSHV-12 and blaTEM-1 were located on IncFII/IncR pKP169-P2. IncHI 1/IncFIB virulence plasmid pKP169-P1 was similar to pKPC-CR-hvKP-C789 plasmid reported previously. Plasmid stability testing showed that blaKPC-2- and blaNDM-1-harbouring plasmids were maintained stably in the host. CONCLUSION To the best of the authors' knowledge, this study identified the largest cohort, to date, of eight NDM-1-KPC-2-CR-hvKP strains, and suggests that antimicrobial stewardship and protocols to prevent transmission are needed urgently.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Precise classification of mass-forming intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (MF-ICC) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is crucial for personalized treatment strategy. The purpose of the present study was to differentiate MF-ICC from HCC applying a novel deep-learning-based workflow with stronger feature extraction ability and fusion capability to improve the classification performance of deep learning on small datasets. METHODS To retain more effective lesion features, we propose a preprocessing method called semi-segmented preprocessing (Semi-SP) to select the region of interest (ROI). Then, the ROIs were sent to the strided feature fusion residual network (SFFNet) for training and classification. The SFFNet model is composed of three parts: the multilayer feature fusion module (MFF) was proposed to extract discriminative features of MF-ICC/HCC and integrate features of different levels; a new stationary residual block (SRB) was proposed to solve the problem of information loss and network instability during training; the attention mechanism convolutional block attention module (CBAM) was adopted in the middle layer of the network to extract the correlation of multi-spatial feature information, so as to filter the irrelevant feature information in pixels. RESULTS The SFFNet model achieved an overall accuracy of 92.26% and an AUC of 0.9680, with high sensitivity (86.21%) and specificity (94.70%) for MF-ICC. CONCLUSION In this paper, we proposed a specifically designed Semi-SP method and SFFNet model to differentiate MF-ICC from HCC. This workflow achieves good MF-ICC/HCC classification performance due to stronger feature extraction and fusion capabilities, which provide complementary information for personalized treatment strategy.

Abstract
Introduction Hantaan virus (HTNV) can cause endothelium injury in hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) patients. Bystander activation of CD8+ T cells by virus infection has been shown that was involved in host injury, but it is unclear during HTNV infection. This project aimed to study the effect of bystander-activated CD8+ T cell responses in HTNV infection. Methods The in vitro infection model was established to imitate the injury of endothelium in HFRS patients. Flow cytometry was performed to detect the expression of markers of tetramer+ CD8+ T cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The levels of interleukin-15 (IL-15) in serum and supermanant were detected using ELISA kit. The expression of MICA of HUVECs was respectively determined by flow cytometry and western blot. The cytotoxicity of CD8+ T cells was assessed through the cytotoxicity assay and antibody blocking assay. Results EBV or CMV-specific CD8+ T cells were bystander activated after HTNV infection in HFRS patients. HTNV-infected HUVECs in vitro could produce high levels of IL-15, which was positively correlated with disease severity and the expression of NKG2D on bystander-activated CD8+ T cells. Moreover, the elevated IL-15 could induce activation of CD122 (IL-15Rβ)+NKG2D+ EBV/CMV-specific CD8+ T cells. The expression of IL-15Rα and ligand for NKG2D were upregulated on HTNV-infected HUVECs. Bystander-activated CD8+ T cells could exert cytotoxicity effects against HTNV-infected HUVECs, which could be enhanced by IL-15 stimulation and blocked by NKG2D antibody. Discussion IL-15 induced bystander activation of CD8+ T cells through NKG2D, which may mediate endothelium injury during HTNV infection in HFRS patients.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the regularity of sensory recovery after repairing the wounds on the wrist and back of hand with anterolateral femoral flap without nerve anastomosis. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. From January 2018 to December 2020, patients who underwent free anterolateral femoral flaps without nerve anastomosis to repair wounds on the wrist and back of hand and met the inclusion criteria in Changshu Hai Yu Health Centre and Suzhou Ruihua Orthopedic Hospital were included in this study. Depending on the time interval between the day of the patient's surgery and the day of the cross-sectional survey, 80 patients were divided into 6-month group (15 males and 5 females, aged 22-63 years), 12-month group (16 males and 4 females, aged 21-65 years), 18-month group (15 males and 5 females, aged 25-61 years), and 24-month group (14 males and 6 females, aged 20-65 years), with 20 patients in each group. The area of skin and soft tissue defects after debridement ranged from 6.0 cm×4.5 cm to 18.0 cm×9.0 cm. Anterolateral femoral flaps were cut with areas of 7 cm×5 cm to 20 cm×10 cm and a thickness of 1.0 to 2.5 cm. Each transplanted flap was divided into A (proximal), B/D (bilateral), C (distal), and E (central) regions. The pain sensation, touch sensation, cold sensation, warmth sensation, and two-point discrimination (2-PD) in the aforementioned five regions and the differences in the five senses of the whole flap were tested and compared. Data were statistically analyzed with one-way analysis of variance, Fisher's exact probability test, chi-square test, or McNemar test. Results: In A region of anterolateral femoral flap without nerve anastomosis, compared with those in 6-month group, the pain sensation, touch sensation, cold sensation, and warmth sensation of flap of patients in 12-month group were significantly recovered (with χ2 values of 10.10, 14.55, 12.13, and 4.29, respectively, P<0.05 or P<0.01); compared with that in 12-month group, the warmth sensation of flap of patients in 18-month group recovered significantly (χ2=5.23, P<0.05). In B region, compared with those in 6-month group, the pain sensation, touch sensation, and cold sensation of flap of patients in 12-month group recovered significantly (with χ2 values of 5.58, 3.96, and 4.29, respectively, P<0.05); compared with those in 12-month group, the pain sensation, touch sensation, cold sensation, and warmth sensation of flap of patients in 18-month group recovered significantly (with χ2 values of 5.58, 3.96, 7.03, and 12.38, respectively, P<0.05 or P<0.01). In C region, compared with that in 6-month group, the pain sensation of flap of patients in 12-month group recovered significantly (χ2=4.80, P<0.05); Compared with that in 12-month group, the warmth sensation of flap of patients in 18-month group recovered significantly (χ2=10.16, P<0.01). In D region, compared with those in 6-month group, the pain sensation, touch sensation, and cold sensation of flap of patients in 12-month group recovered significantly (with χ2 values of 5.58, 4.29, and 3.96, respectively, P<0.05); compared with those in 12-month group, the pain sensation, touch sensation, cold sensation, and warmth sensation of flap of patients in 18-month group recovered significantly (with χ2 values of 5.58, 4.29, 3.96, and 10.10, respectively, P<0.05 or P<0.01). In E region, compared with that in 6-month group, the cold sensation of flap of patients in 12-month group recovered significantly (χ2=4.80, P<0.05); compared with those in 12-month group, the pain sensation, touch sensation, and warmth sensation of flap of patients in 18-month group recovered significantly (with χ2 values of 6.47, 4.91, and 9.23, respectively, P<0.05 or P<0.01). The five senses in the 5 regions of flap of patients in 24-month group were similar to those in 18-month group (P>0.05). The recovery of 2-PD in the 5 regions of flap of patients was similar between the two adjacent groups (P>0.05). In 12-month group, the recoveries of pain sensation, touch sensation, and cold sensation of flap of patients in A region were better than those in the other 4 regions (P<0.05 or P<0.01), the recovery of warmth sensation was better than that of B region, C region, and E region (P<0.05 or P<0.01); in 18-month group, the recovery of pain sensation, touch sensation, cold sensation, and warmth sensation of flap of patients in A region of was better than those in area C region (P<0.05). Compared with those in 6-month group, the pain sensation, touch sensation, and cold sensation of the whole flap of patients in 12-month group recovered significantly (with χ2 values of 7.62, 7.03, and 5.58, respectively, P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the 12-month group in which 10, 11, 10, and 4 patients had a recovery of pain, touch sensation, cold sensation, and warmth sensation in the whole flap, the 18-month group had significantly more patients with sensations recovered, which were 17, 17, 16, and 14, respectively (with χ2 values of 5.58, 4.29, 3.96, and 10.10, respectively, P<0.05 or P<0.01). The five senses of the whole flap of patients in 24-month group were similar to those in 18-month group (P>0.05). Conclusions: In the anterolateral femoral flap without nerve anastomosis for repairing wounds on the wrist and back of hand, the sensation gradually recovered from the proximal end to the distal end. The sensation of touch, pain, and cold began to recover from 6 months after operation, and entered the stable recover period at 18 months after operation. Warmth sensation began to recover from 12 months after operation, and entered the stable recovery period at 18 months after operation. The 2-PD of most flaps was still not recovered 2-year after operation.

Abstract
Red blood cells are the largest number of cells in blood. Apart from transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide, they also regulate the immune responses. It has been confirmed that red blood cells can play a role in clearing immune complex, promoting phagocytosis, and presenting antigen through immune adhesion.They can also regulate the immune response by participating in the oxidative stress or interacting with the other lymphocytes. Furthermore, when pathogens invading, the host will exert anti-infective immune response and also induce inflammatory response, causing a series of immunopathological injuries, which may bring changes to the red blood cells' maturation process, their morphology, and functionality. This review summarizes recent progresses on the roles and mechanisms of red blood cells in anti-infectious immunity, providing theoretical basis for revealing pathogenesis and exploring therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has disproportionately affected socially disadvantaged groups; however, the association between socioeconomic status and healthcare utilization among COVID-19 patients remains unclear. Therefore, a systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to assess the association between socioeconomic status and hospitalization and intensive care unit admission among COVID-19 patients. Methods PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials were searched for relevant literature (updated to Jun 2022). Studies that investigated the association of social deprivation with hospitalization and intensive care unit admission in COVID-19 patients were included. The primary outcomes included risk of hospitalization and intensive care unit admission, measured by odds ratio. Results Eleven studies covering 2,423,095 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Socially disadvantaged patients had higher odds of hospitalization in comparison to socially advantaged patients (odds ratio 1.25, 95% confidence interval: 1.14 to 1.38; P<0.01). The odds of intensive care unit admission among more deprived patients was not significantly different from that of less deprived patients (odds ratio 1.03, 95% confidence interval: 0.78 to 1.35; P=0.85). These findings were proven robust through subgroup and sensitivity analyses. Conclusion Socially disadvantaged populations have higher odds of hospitalization if they become infected with COVID-19. More effective medical support and interventions for these vulnerable populations are required to reduce inequity in healthcare utilization and alleviate the burden on healthcare systems.

Abstract
The immune system is highly networked and complex, which is continuously changing as encountering old and new pathogens. However, reductionism-based researches do not give a systematic understanding of the molecular mechanism of the immune response and viral pathogenesis. Here, we present HUMPPI-2022, a high-quality human protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, containing > 11,000 protein-coding genes with > 78,000 interactions. The network topology and functional characteristics analyses of the immune-related genes (IRGs) reveal that IRGs are mostly located in the center of the network and link genes of diverse biological processes, which may reflect the gene pleiotropy phenomenon. Moreover, the virus-human interactions reveal that pan-viral targets are mostly hubs, located in the center of the network and enriched in fundamental biological processes, but not for coronavirus. Finally, gene age effect was analyzed from the view of the host network for IRGs and virally-targeted genes (VTGs) during evolution, with IRGs gradually became hubs and integrated into host network through bridging functionally differentiated modules. Briefly, HUMPPI-2022 serves as a valuable resource for gaining a better understanding of the composition and evolution of human immune system, as well as the pathogenesis of viruses.

Abstract
Hantaan virus (HTNV) infection causes an epidemic of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) mainly in Asia. It is well known that T cells mediated anti-viral immune response. Although previous studies showed that double positive T (DP T) cells, a little portion of T lymphocytes, were involved in adaptive immune response during virus infection, their kinetic changes and roles in HTNV infection have not yet been explored. In this study, we characterized DP T cells from HFRS patients based on flow cytometry data combined with scRNA-seq data. We showed that HTNV infection caused the upregulation of DP T cells in the peripheral blood, which were correlated with disease stage. The scRNA-seq data clustered DP T cells, unraveled their gene expression profile, and estimated the ordering of these cells. The production of granzyme B and CD107a from DP T cells and the abundant TCR distribution indicated the anti-viral property of DP T cells. In conclusion, this study identified, for the first time, an accumulation of DP T cells in the peripheral blood of HFRS patients and suggested these DP T cells belonging to CD8+T cells lineage. The DP T cells shared the similar characteristics with cytotoxic T cells (CTL) and exerted an anti-viral role in HFRS.

Abstract
Background Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) induced by Hantaan virus infection and heparin‐induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) are associated with symptoms such as thrombocytopenia and thrombosis. However, related molecules, such as anti–platelet factor 4 (PF4)/heparin antibodies, in patients with HFRS have not been evaluated. Objectives To test plasma levels of anti‐PF4/heparin antibodies and study the possible role of these antibodies in HFRS pathogenesis. Methods Indirect ELISA was used to determine plasma levels of anti‐PF4/heparin antibodies in 75 patients with HFRS and 20 normal controls. The 4Ts (thrombocytopenia, timing of platelet count fall, thrombosis or other sequelae, and other causes of thrombocytopenia) scoring system was used to determine the probability of HIT occurrence. A PF4‐enhanced platelet activation assay was used to detect the pathological effects of anti‐PF4/heparin antibodies. The laboratory/clinical features and viral load of all the patients were also assessed. Results Of the 75 patients with HFRS enrolled in this study, 69 had thrombocytopenia. Platelet count was negatively correlated with Hantaan viral load. Moreover, the optical density (OD) values of plasma antibodies against PF4/heparin in normal controls were less than 0.65, 4 patients tested strongly positive for anti‐PF4/heparin antibodies (OD values, 1.51–3.87), 21 patients were weakly positive (OD values, 0.66–0.74), and 50 patients were negative (OD values, 0.16–0.65). Moreover, all 4 patients who tested strongly positive for anti‐PF4/heparin antibodies showed a low probability of HIT (4Ts score of 3 or less) and had negative results in the PF4‐enhanced platelet activation assay. Conclusions Hantaan virus infection produces nonpathogenic antibodies against PF4/heparin; however, the generation mechanism of these antibodies requires further study.

Abstract
Hantaan orthohantavirus (HTNV) can cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) characterized by acute kidney injury and hemorrhage. Neutrophils are the most abundant innate immune cell and the body's first line of defense against pathogens. Currently, an increasing number of studies have shown that neutrophils may be a mixed blessing in terms of viral infections. However, the role of neutrophils in HFRS patients with HTNV infection has not been fully declared. In this study, we analyzed plasma levels of both myeloperoxidase (MPO) and MPO-DNA in HFRS patients, together with the clinical parameters. Neutrophil-platelet aggregates (NPAs) during the acute and convalescent phases of HFRS were also assessed. The results showed that plasma MPO-DNA levels had no change in different disease phases or severities of HFRS patients. Whereas plasma MPO significantly increased in the acute phase and critical/severe groups of HFRS patients. Furthermore, plasma MPO was positively correlated with inflammatory clinical parameters, such as white blood cell counts, neutrophil counts, and renal injury-related parameters, such as blood urea nitrogen, blood uric acid, and serum creatinine, as well as negatively correlated with and platelet counts. In addition, NPAs increased both in acute and convalescent phase in HFRS patients compared with normal controls. These results suggested that elevated plasma MPO in HFRS patients correlated with disease severity, together with the increases of NPAs in HFRS patients, which may provide new insights into potential role of neutrophils in the pathogenesis of HFRS.

Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the effects of pulegone (PLG) on inflammation and oxidative stress in L-arginineinduced acute pancreatitis (AP), and determine its molecular mechanism.Methods: Hematoxylin-Eosin (H & E) staining assay were performed, and histopathological score, blood glucose concentration, and serum amylase level were evaluated in order to assess the effects of PLG on pancreatic injury in L-arginine-induced AP mice. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was conducted to assess the levels of myeloperoxidase (MPO), malonaldehyde (MDA) and inflammatory factors (IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β) in L-arginine-induced AP mice. Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and relative levels of ROS generation in L-arginine-induced AP mice were determined using an LDH kit and immunofluorescence assay, respectively. The effect of pulegone (PLG) on the activation of p38 MAPK pathway in L-arginine-induced AP mice was evaluated by Western blot.Results: Significant pancreatic tissue injury occurred in L-arginine-induced AP mice was revealed. PLG alleviated the pathological injury of pancreatitis, and decreased the blood glucose concentration and serum amylase level in L-arginine-induced AP mice. In addition, PLG inhibited oxidative stress and inflammatory responses, and was enabled to inhibit the activation of p38 MAPK pathway in L-arginineinduced AP mice. Furthermore, PLG exhibited protective effect against the development of pancreatic injury in L-arginine-induced AP mice.Conclusion: PLG ameliorates L-arginine-induced inflammation and oxidative stress in AP mice in vivo by inhibiting p38 MAPK pathway, and therefore, is a potential therapeutic agent for the management of acute pancreatitis.

Abstract
BackgroundCT-P13 is an approved biosimilar to EU-approved and US-licensed Infliximab (INX) for the indications of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), adult and paediatric Crohn’s disease, adult and paediatric ulcerative colitis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis.ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to demonstrate equivalence of efficacy and compare PK and safety profiles of CT-P13 and China-approved INX.MethodsIn this randomized, double blinded, multicenter, parallel-group, phase III study, patients with active RA who had been responding inadequately to methotrexate for at least 3 months, were randomized to receive either CT-P13 or China-approved INX. Patients were treated with doses of 3 mg/kg at Weeks 0, 2, 6, then every 8 weeks up to Week 54. Prior to dosing at Week 30, patients randomized to China-approved INX underwent a second randomization either to continue China-approved INX or to switch to CT-P13 at Week 30. Results of patients who underwent transition to CT-P13 were included in the China-approved INX group. The primary efficacy endpoint was change in DAS28 (CRP) from baseline to Week 14, which was analyzed using an analysis of covariance. Equivalence was determined if the 90% CI for the estimate of treatment difference was entirely contained within the predefined equivalence margin of -0.6 to 0.6.Results270 patients were randomly assigned to 2 treatment groups in a 1:1 ratio (136 and 134 patients in the CT-P13 and China-approved INX groups, respectively) and 184 patients completed the study. The least square mean change (standard error) of DAS28 (CRP) from baseline to Week 14, -1.566 [0.1419] and -1.547 [0.1491], was similar between the CT-P13 and China-approved INX groups, respectively. The 90% CI for the estimate of treatment difference (-0.29, 0.25) was contained within the predefined equivalence margin, which demonstrated therapeutic equivalence between the groups. The mean actual values for DAS28 (CRP) decreased from baseline to Week 54 and were similar between the groups (Figure 1). Additional efficacy endpoints, including ACR responses (ACR20 at Week 14; 60.6%, 54.8% and at Week 54; 65.1%, 60.6% in the CT-P13 and China-approved INX groups, respectively), EULAR responses, CDAI, and SDAI, were similar between the groups, even after switching at Week 30. During the study, mean serum INX concentrations were similar between the groups. Between Weeks 14 and 22, mean (percent coefficient of variation) AUCτ were 11156333.615 (44.796) ng·h/mL and 11462884.280 (51.057) ng·h/mL, and Cmax,ss were 66577.2 (31.4) ng/mL and 66356.1 (21.0) ng/mL in the CT-P13 and China-approved INX groups, respectively, which were similar between the groups. Most treatment-emergent AEs were grade 1 or 2 in intensity. One malignancy was reported in the CT-P13 group and no deaths were reported. The proportions of patients with anti-drug antibodies were similar between the groups, even after switching at Week 30. The overall safety profile of CT-P13 was comparable to that of China-approved INX and no new safety issues were observed (Table 1).Table 1.Summary of Safety ResultsNumber of patients (%)CT-P13 (N=136)China-approved Infliximab (N=133)Treatment-emergent AEsTotal115 (84.6%)107 (80.5%)Related97 (71.3%)86 (64.7%)Treatment-emergent serious AEsTotal17 (12.5%)12 (9.0%)Related10 (7.4%)6 (4.5%)Infusion related reaction/ hypersensitivity/anaphylactic reactionsTotal(=Related)20 (14.7%)19 (14.3%)InfectionsTotal45 (33.1%)43 (32.3%)Related36 (26.5%)40 (30.1%)Note: Summary is presented for the safety population who received at least 1 dose (full or partial) of study drug.ConclusionThe study demonstrated that efficacy of CT-P13 is equivalent to that of China-approved INX.

Abstract
Introduction Community Perinatal Mental Health Services
(CPMHS) have been established in the UK, however, there is limited research around their real-world effectiveness. Post-Partum Psychosis (PPP), a severe episode of affective psychosis usually occurring soon after birth, has known risk factors. CPMHS offer assessment and interventions for women with risk factors for PPP, with a view to reducing the risk of its occurrence, as well as, where necessary, to proactively manage the illness to minimise the impact on the mother-infant dyad, as well as associated risks to self and/or others. Objectives To review the rate of PPP in women with established risk factors, who were referred and managed by our CPMHS between September 2019-September 2021. This rate will be compared with the known rates of PPP reported in the literature. Rates of non-psychotic relapse, acute hospitalisation, children social care supervision and mother-infant separation as a result of postnatal relapse will be (amongst others) secondary outcomes. Perinatal interventions offered to reduce the risk of PPP and contingency planning will also be reviewed. Methods This will be a retrospective case review study involving women referred and cared for by our CPMHS from October 2019 to October 2021, with known risk factors for PPP. Women identified as high risk for PPP receive consultant led-care in our service, therefore cases will be identified via the individual caseloads. Subsequently, electronic case notes will be reviewed to determine the primary and secondary outcomes, as well as the perinatal interventions that were offered. Results To be reported. Conclusions To be reported. Disclosure No significant relationships.
