RESUMO
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) remains an important health threat. Syncytial formation by infected cells mediated by the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (SARS-2-S) is a hallmark of COVID-19-associated pathology. Although SARS-CoV-2 infection evokes cellular senescence, as in other viruses, the direct link between SARS-2-S-induced syncytia with senescence in the absence of viral infection and their senescence fate determinants remain unknown. Here, we show that syncytia formed by cells expressing exogenously delivered SARS-2-S exhibited a senescence-like phenotype in vitro and that SARS-2-S mRNA induced senescence phenotype in vivo. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) containing SARS-2-S also induced senescent syncytium formation independent of the de novo synthesis of SARS-2-S. Mechanistically, we show that the accumulation of endogenous dsRNA, partially that whose formation is induced by activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR), in SARS-2-S syncytia triggers RIG-I-MAVS signalling to drive the TNF--dependent survival and senescence fate of SARS-2-S syncytia. Our findings suggest that the fusogenic ability of SARS-2-S might contribute to the side effects of particular COVID-19 vaccines or perhaps long COVID-19 syndrome and provide insight into how these effects can be prevented.
RESUMO
Since the first report on November 24, 2021, the Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant is now overwhelmingly spreading across the world. Two SARS-CoV-2 inactivated vaccines (IAVs), one recombinant protein subunit vaccine (PRV), and one adenovirus-vectored vaccine (AdV) have been widely administrated in many countries including China to pursue herd immunity. Here we investigated cross-neutralizing activities in 341 human serum specimens elicited by full-course vaccinations with IAV, PRV and AdV, and by various vaccine boosters following prime IAV and AdV vaccinations. We found that all types of vaccines induced significantly lower neutralizing antibody titers against the Omicron variant than against the prototype strain. For prime vaccinations with IAV and AdV, heterologous boosters with AdV and PRV, respectively, elevated serum Omicron-neutralizing activities to the highest degrees. In a mouse model, we further demonstrated that among a series of variant-derived RBD-encoding mRNA vaccine boosters, it is only the Omicron booster that significantly enhanced Omicron neutralizing antibody titers compared with the prototype booster following a prime immunization with a prototype S-encoding mRNA vaccine candidate. In summary, our systematical investigations of various vaccine boosters inform potential booster administrations in the future to combat the Omicron variant.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with electrical stimulation in patients with dysphagia after stroke.Methods:Seventy-two stroke patients with dysphagia who received treatment in The First Hospital of Jiaxing from February 2019 to February 2020 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to receive either electrical stimulation (control group, n = 36) or high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with electrical stimulation (observation group, n = 36) for 2 weeks. Changes in serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor, neuron-specific enolase, and vascular endothelial growth factor levels after treatment relative to before treatment were observed in each group. Scores of the swallowing function assessment scale, neurological deficit, and quality of life were compared between the control and observation groups. Results:After treatment, serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and vascular endothelial growth factor in the observation group were (7.98 ± 1.14) μg/L, (168.78 ± 10.28) ng/L, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group [(5.80 ± 1.10) μg/L, (110.34 ± 10.47) ng/L, t = 8.26, 23.90, both P < 0.01]. Serum neuron-specific enolase level was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group [(7.57 ± 1.17) μg/L vs. (10.66 ± 1.30) μg/L, t = 10.60, P < 0.001). The scores of swallowing function assessment scale and neurological deficits in the observation group were (2.47 ± 1.16) points and (7.03 ± 1.14) points, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(5.75 ± 1.10) points, (9.66 ± 1.20) points, t = 12.31, 9.53, both P < 0.001]. Total effective rate [97.22% (35/36) vs. 77.78% (28/36)] and the score of swallowing quality of life questionnaire [(160.40 ± 8.32) points vs. (146.74 ± 8.10) points] were significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group ( χ2 = 4.57, P = 0.03, t = 7.25, P < 0.001). Conclusion:High-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with electrical stimulation can greatly improve neurological function and swallowing function of stroke patients with dysphagia. The combined therapy is of certain clinical value and innovation.

RESUMO
The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) presents a global public health threat. Most research on therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2 focused on the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the Spike (S) protein, whereas the vulnerable epitopes and functional mechanism of non-RBD regions are poorly understood. Here we isolated and characterized monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) derived from convalescent COVID-19 patients. An mAb targeting the N-terminal domain (NTD) of the SARS-CoV-2 S protein, named 4A8, exhibits high neutralization potency against both authentic and pseudotyped SARS-CoV-2, although it does not block the interaction between angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor and S protein. The cryo-EM structure of the SARS-CoV-2 S protein in complex with 4A8 has been determined to an overall resolution of 3.1 Angstrom and local resolution of 3.4 Angstrom for the 4A8-NTD interface, revealing detailed interactions between the NTD and 4A8. Our functional and structural characterizations discover a new vulnerable epitope of the S protein and identify promising neutralizing mAbs as potential clinical therapy for COVID-19.
RESUMO
Objective:To report our experience in diagnosis and treatment of posterior atlantoaxial dislocation with odontoid retrolisthesis.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted of the 5 patients who had been treated from July 2012 to August 2018 at Department of Orthopaedics, General Hospital of Southern Theater Command for posterior atlantoaxial dislocation. They were 4 men and one woman, aged from 34 to 67 years (average, 47 years). All of them had a history of trauma. Of them, 4 were complicated with odontoid fracture and one with congenital free os odontoideum. Their posterior atlantoaxial dislocation ranged from 3 to 9 mm (average, 6 mm). By the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) grading system, their preoperative spinal injury was rated as grade B in one, as grade C in 3 cases and as grade D in one. All the 5 patients underwent skull traction at 10° flexion. Surgical trans-oralpharyngeal atlantoaxial reduction and internal fixation was performed for the one patient whose reduction had not been achieved by traction while posterior atlantoaxial screw-rod fixation or anterior odontoid screwing was conducted for the 4 patients whose reduction had been achieved by traction. The distance of posterior atlantoaxial dislocation was measured to evaluate their reduction and ASIA grade system was used to assess their spinal function after operation.Results:The postoperative distance of posterior atlantoaxial dislocation was 0 mm, showing a reduction rate of 100%. The 5 patients were followed up for 6 to 36 months (average, 15 months). By the ASIA grade system, the postoperative functional recovery of the spine was grade D in 4 cases and grade C in one. No implant loosening or breakage occurred.Conclusion:As a kind of high-energy hyperextension injury, posterior atlantoaxial dislocation is rare in clinic, but an appropriate treatment can be adopted to deal with its different clinical types to achieve good outcomes.

RESUMO
Children′s esophageal stenosis is mainly benign stenosis. Esophageal foreign bodies and corrosion are common causes of esophageal stenosis in children requiring emergency management. Endoscop ̄ic treatment of esophageal stricture includes endoscopic balloon dilatation,endoscopic radial incision,medical treatement,endoscopic stenting and so on. According to the cause of the stenosis,the nature of the lesion and the morphological structure of the lesion,formulating appropriate endoscopic treatment strategy are important for therapeutic effect and reducing the incidence of complications.
RESUMO
With the improvement of medical care the survival rate of preterm infants (gestational age < 37 weeks) increased dramatically,however long-term neurodevelopmental and behavioral problems are still a concern.During their stay in neonatal intensive care unit preterm patients suffer lots of repeated painful procedures while it's a period of rapid brain development.Preterm infants have the nociceptive circuitry to feel the pain,but this system is functionally immature.Because the spinal neuromodulation system is immature that repeated pain stimulation leads to increased nociceptive signaling in the central nervous system.Besides,specific cell populations in the central nervous system of preterm infants are particularly vulnerable to oxidative stress and inflammation.Therefore,it is important that pain-related stress in preterm infants is appropriately managed.
RESUMO
Objective@#To observe the relationship between impaired myocardial untwisting and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with autoimmune diseases (AD).@*Methods@#In this retrospective study, 95 AD patients (27 males, (38.6±14.2) years old) were enrolled as AD group and 71 gender and age matched healthy subjects (24 males, (37.6±12.2) years old) were enrolled as control group, all underwent transthoracic echocardiography and two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) in our hospital between January 2014 and June 2018. Left ventricular untwisting and diastolic function parameters were measured. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to identify related factors of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in AD patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to identify the diagnosis value of untwisting parameters for left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in AD patients.@*Results@#Compared with control group, left ventricular ejection fraction was lower (58(47, 66)% vs. 67 (62, 71) %, P<0.001), E/e′ was higher (10.78 (7.28, 13.65) vs. 6.30 (5.55, 7.25) , P<0.001), isovolumic relaxation time was longer (73.5 (56.5, 88.0) ms vs. 62.0 (58.0, 68.5) ms, P<0.001),and untwist slope during isovolumic relaxation period (USIR) was lower (31.92 (14.09, 54.92) °/s vs. 59.90 (40.09, 87.18) °/s, P<0.001) in AD group than in control group. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed heart rate (OR=0.885, 95%CI 0.840-0.931, P<0.001), E/e′ (OR=0.655, 95%CI 0.537-0.798, P<0.001) and USIR (OR=0.986, 95%CI 0.974-0.998, P=0.020) were independently related with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in AD patients. ROC curve showed that area under the curve (AUC) was 0.919 (P<0.001), sensitivity was 87.6%, and specificity was 88.7%, when combining the heart rate, E/e′, and USIR as assessment parameters for the diagnosis of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in AD patients at a cutoff of 0.51.@*Conclusions@#Impairment of myocardial untwisting indicates the presence of early stage left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in AD patients. USIR may be a sensitive parameter to evaluate early stage left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in AD patients.
RESUMO
With the rapid development of organ transplantation in China,the donation after cardiac death (DCD) donor organs are widely used.However,the quality of these organs is relatively poor,so the way to preserve and maintain organ still remains a severe problem.Among them,ischemic reperfusion injury (IRI) impairs the organs severely.Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) protects organs from stress conditions,including ischemia-reperfusion injury,and the activation and autophagy inhibition also protects the organs from stress conditions as well.Recent studies showed that ALDH2 can regulate autophagy to inhibit the organ injury during ischemia-reperfusion.Our study aims to discuss the new findings in this mechanism.

OBJECTIVE To identify potential mutations in five infants with neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD). METHODS The SLC25A13 gene was analyzed by next-generation sequencing. Suspected mutations were confirmed by PCR and Sanger sequencing in the probands and their parents. Impact of novel mutations was predicted with PolyPhen-2 software. RESULTS All neonates have harbored mutations of the SLC25A13 gene. Eight mutations were discovered, which included two novel mutations (c.1357A>G and c.1663dup23). All parents were found to be carriers of the mutations. CONCLUSION Mutations of the SLC25A13 gene probably underlie the NICCD among the five patients, among which 851del4 and 1638-1660dup were the most common ones. This has enriched the spectrum of SLC25A13 mutation in association with NICCD.
