    Abstract: Safe and effective vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 for children are urgently needed. Here we aimed to assess the safety and immunogenicity of an inactivated COVID-19 vaccine candidate, WIBP-CorV, in participants aged 3-17 years. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 1/2 clinical trial was conducted in Henan Province, China, in healthy children aged 3-17 years. 240 participants in phase 1 trial and 576 participants in phase 2 trial were randomly assigned to vaccine or control with an age de-escalation in three cohorts (3-5, 6-12 and 13-17 years) and dose-escalation in three groups (2.5, 5.0 and 10.0μg/dose), and received 3 intramuscular injections at day 0, 28, and 56. WIBP-CorV showed a promising safety profile with approximately 17% adverse reactions within 30 days after injection and no grade 3 or worse adverse events. The most common adverse reaction was injection site pain, followed by fever, which were mild and self-limiting. The geometric mean titers of neutralizing antibody ranged from 102.2 to 1065.5 in vaccinated participants at 28 days after the third vaccination, and maintained at a range of 14.3 to 218.2 at day 180 after the third vaccination. WIBP-CorV elicited significantly higher titers of neutralizing antibody in the cohort aged 3-5 years than the other two cohorts. There were no detectable antibody responses in all alum-only groups. Taken together, our data demonstrate that WIBP-CorV is safe and well tolerated at all tested doses in participants aged 3-17 years, and elicited robust humoral responses against SARS-CoV-2 lasted for at least 6 months after the third vaccination. This study is ongoing and is registered with www.chictr.org.cn, ChiCTR2000031809.

    Abstract: Since May 2022, mutant strains of mpox (formerly monkeypox) virus (MPXV) have been rapidly spreading among individuals who have not traveled to endemic areas in multiple locations, including Europe and the United States. Both intracellular and extracellular forms of mpox virus have multiple outer membrane proteins that can stimulate immune response. Here, we investigated the immunogenicity of MPXV structural proteins such as A29L, M1R, A35R, and B6R as a combination vaccine, and the protective effect against the 2022 mpox mutant strain was also evaluated in BALB/c mice. After mixed 15 μg QS-21 adjuvant, all four virus structural proteins were administered subcutaneously to mice. Antibody titers in mouse sera rose sharply after the initial boost, along with an increased capacity of immune cells to produce IFN-γ alongside an elevated level of cellular immunity mediated by Th1 cells. The vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies significantly inhibited the replication of MPXV in mice and reduced the pathological damage of organs. This study demonstrates the feasibility of a multiple recombinant vaccine for MPXV variant strains.

    Abstract: At present, there are many kinds of intelligent training equipment in tennis sports, but they all need human control. If a single tennis player uses the robot to return the ball, it will save some human resources. This study aims to improve the recognition rate of tennis sports robots in the return action and the return strategy. The human-oriented motion recognition of the tennis sports robot is taken as the starting point to recognize and analyze the return action of the tennis sports robot. The OpenPose traversal dataset is used to recognize and extract human motion features of tennis sports robots under different classifications. According to the return characteristics of the tennis sports robot, the method of tennis return strategy based on the support vector machine (SVM) is established, and the SVM algorithm in machine learning is optimized. Finally, the return strategy of tennis sports robots under eight return actions is analyzed and studied. The results reveal that the tennis sports robot based on the SVM-Optimization (SVM-O) algorithm has the highest return recognition rate, and the average return recognition rate is 88.61%. The error rates of the backswing, forward swing, and volatilization are high in the return strategy of tennis sports robots. The preparation action, backswing, and volatilization can achieve more objective results in the analysis of the return strategy, which is more than 90%. With the increase of iteration times, the effect of the model simulation experiment based on SVM-O is the best. It suggests that the algorithm proposed has a reliable accuracy of the return strategy of tennis sports robots, which meets the research requirements. Human motion recognition is integrated with the return motion of tennis sports robots. The application of the SVM-O algorithm to the return action recognition of tennis sports robots has good practicability in the return action recognition of tennis sports robot and solves the problem that the optimization algorithm cannot be applied to the real-time requirements. It has important research significance for the application of an optimized SVM algorithm in sports action recognition.

    Abstract: Considering that vaccination with the sIPV and DTaP overlap at the ages of 3 and 4 months in China, to reduce the burden of treatment on parents and increase vaccination coverage rates, we designed a postmarket clinical study of co-administration. Background The Sabin-strain-based inactivated poliovirus vaccine (sIPV) and the diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis vaccine (DTaP) have been licensed in China for many years. To conduct a clinical study on the safety and immunogenicity of the sIPV when administered concomitantly with the DTaP. Methods The study population was divided into three groups: group 1 was the sIPV+ DTaP concomitant administration group, group 2 was the sIPV inoculation group, and group 3 was the DTaP inoculation group. Blood samples were collected prevaccination and 30 days postvaccination, and serum antibody levels were detected. Results This study showed that the seropositive and seroconversion rates of type 1, 2 and 3 poliovirus in group 1 were higher than those in group 2, with no statistically significant difference after vaccination (P & gt;0.05). Groups 1 and 3 also showed similar responses for all vaccine antigens except anti-FHA (97.65 (94.09-99.36) vs. 100 (97.89-100)). The geometric mean titers (GMTs) for the DTaP and sIPV among the groups were comparable, and the non-inferiority t test result was P & lt;0.001. The number of local adverse events (AEs) reported in group 1 (29.91%) were larger than those in group 2 (12.39%) and group 3 (21.93%), among which the most common was redness. Similarly, the most common systemic AE was fever. All 5 severe AE (SAE) cases were determined by experts to be unrelated to the vaccines during the study. Conclusions The evidence of similar seroconversion and safety with co-administered DTaP and sIPV supports the co-administration supports the introduction of a strategy of simultaneous administration of both vaccines into routine infant immunization, and it could increase vaccination coverage and protect more infants from morbidity and mortality from these related diseases.

    Abstract: The leucine-rich repeats containing G protein-coupled receptor 4 (LGR4) belonging to G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) family, had various regulatory roles at multiple cellular types and numerous targeting sites, and aberrant LGR4 signaling played crucial roles in diseases and carcinogenesis. On the basis of these facts, LGR4 may become an appealing therapeutic target for the treatment of diseases and tumors. However, a comprehensive investigation of its functions and applications was still lacking. Hence, this paper provided an overview of the molecular characteristics and signaling mechanisms of LGR4, its involvement in multiple organ development and participation in the modulation of immunology related diseases, metabolic diseases, and oxidative stress damage along with cancer progression. Given that GPCRs accounted for almost a third of current clinical drug targets, the in-depth understanding of the sophisticated connections of LGR4 and its ligands would not only enrich their regulatory networks, but also shed new light on designing novel molecular targeted drugs and small molecule blockers for revolutionizing the treatment of various diseases and tumors.

    Abstract: To determine whether the neutralization activity of monoclonal antibodies, convalescent sera and vaccine-elicited sera was affected by the top five epidemic SARS-CoV-2 variants in the UK, including D614G+L18F+A222V, D614G+A222V, D614G+S477N, VOC-202012/01(B.1.1.7) and D614G+69-70del+N439K, a pseudovirus-neutralization assay was performed to evaluate the relative neutralization titers against the five SARS-CoV-2 variants and 12 single deconvolution mutants based on the variants. In this study, 18 monoclonal antibodies, 10 sera from convalescent COVID-19 patients, 10 inactivated-virus vaccine-elicited sera, 14 mRNA vaccine-elicited sera, nine RBD-immunized mouse sera, four RBD-immunized horse sera, and four spike-encoding DNA-immunized guinea pig sera were tested and analyzed. The N501Y, N439K, and S477N mutations caused immune escape from nine of 18 mAbs. However, the convalescent sera, inactivated virus vaccine-elicited sera, mRNA vaccine-elicited sera, spike DNA-elicited sera, and recombinant RBD protein-elicited sera could still neutralize these variants (within three-fold changes compared to the reference D614G variant). The neutralizing antibody responses to different types of vaccines were different, whereby the response to inactivated-virus vaccine was similar to the convalescent sera.

    Abstract: The objective of this study is to examine the correlation between patient serum cholinesterase (SCHE) concentration and weaning failure in the context of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), as well as to identify predictors of ventilator weaning failure. Additionally, this study investigates the potential relationship between SCHE and nutritional risk for developing more effective weaning strategies. Method A retrospective observational study was conducted. The sample was collected from 227 patients with IMV over 48 h who underwent SBT before weaning. Relevant experimental samples and data collection were analyzed at the time of patient admission and before the initiation of the SBT. The correlation between SCHE and weaning failure was determined by multifactorial logistic regression and propensity matching scores. Results Weaning was successful in 127 patients and failed in 100 patients. Depending on the difficulty of weaning, 55 of these patients had difficulty in weaning and 45 had long-term weaning. In the crude cohort, experimental data collected on the day of SBT showed that SCHE concentrations were higher in patients with successful weaning than in those with failed weaning (4,514 u/l vs. 3,190 u/l p   & lt; 0.01). The critical value for predicting weaning failure was SCHE 3,228 u/l ( p   & lt; 0.01). Ventilator weaning failure was predicted by multifactorial logistic regression analysis of SCHE, heart rate, and PaO 2 before SBT, with SCHE predicting ventilator weaning failure (AUC 0.714; 95% CI 0.647–0.782) better than heart rate (AUC 0.618; 95% CI 0.545–0.690), PaO 2 (AUC 0.59; 95% CI 0.515–0.664). After propensity-matched scores, SCHE remained an independent predictor of weaning failure ( p  = 0.05). And the SCHE concentration was strongly correlated with the patient’s weaning difficulties ( p   & lt; 0.01). The Nutrition Risk in Critically Ill (NUTRIC) score was also significantly correlated with SCHE according to Spearman’s correlation analysis ( p   & lt; 0.01). Conclusion Our study revealed that the patients who experienced weaning failure exhibited lower SCHE values compared to those who successfully underwent weaning. Before spontaneous breathing trial (SBT), SCHE, heart rate, and PaO 2 were identified as independent predictors of weaning failure. Following propensity score matching (PSM), SCHE and heart rate remained independent predictors. Patients with SCHE levels below 3,228 u/l should undergo careful evaluation before weaning. Our findings suggest that malnutrition may be a contributing factor to weaning failure in patients.

    Abstract: Silk, as a kind of natural fibrin, has been prepared into various biomaterials due to its excellent biocompatibility and mechanicalness. However, there are some controversies on the biocompatibility of silk fibroin (SF), especially when it coexists with sericin. In this study, two kinds of silk from Jiangsu and Zhejiang were degummed with two concentrations of Na 2 CO 3 solution, respectively, to obtain four kinds of silk fibroin. The effects of different degumming treatments on silk fibroin properties were analyzed by means of color reaction, apparent viscosity measurement, and transmission electron microscope and isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification analyses, and the effects of different silk fibroin membranes on the growth of Schwann cells were evaluated. The results showed that the natural silk from Zhejiang treated with 0.05% Na 2 CO 3 solution had a fuller structure, higher apparent viscosity, and better protein composition. While SF obtained by degumming with 0.5% Na 2 CO 3 solution was more beneficial to cell adhesion and proliferation due to the thorough removal of sericin. This study may provide important theoretical and experimental bases for the selection of biomaterials for fabricating artificial nerve grafts.

    Abstract: Peripheral nerve injury is common, and can lead to skeletal muscle atrophy and dysfunction. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. The transcription factors have been proved to play a key role in denervated muscle atrophy. In order to systematically analyze transcription factors and obtain more comprehensive information of the molecular regulatory mechanisms in denervated muscle atrophy, a new transcriptome survey focused on transcription factors are warranted. In the current study, we used microarray to identify and analyze differentially expressed genes encoding transcription factors in denervated muscle atrophy in a rat model of sciatic nerve dissection. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses were used to explore the biological functions of differentially expressed transcription factors and their target genes related to skeletal muscle pathophysiology. We found that the differentially expressed transcription factors were mainly involved in the immune response. Based on correlation analysis and the expression trends of transcription factors, 18 differentially expressed transcription factors were identified. Stat3, Myod1, Runx1, Atf3, Junb, Runx2, Myf6, Stat5a, Tead4, Klf5, Myog, Mef2a, and Hes6 were upregulated. Ppargc1a, Nr4a1, Lhx2, Ppara, and Rxrg were downregulated. Functional network mapping revealed that these transcription factors are mainly involved in inflammation, development, aging, proteolysis, differentiation, regeneration, autophagy, oxidative stress, atrophy, and ubiquitination. These findings may help understand the regulatory mechanisms of denervated muscle atrophy and provide potential targets for future therapeutic interventions for muscle atrophy following peripheral nerve injury.
