RESUMO
Compared to adults, infants suffer higher rates of hospitalization, severe clinical complications, and mortality due to influenza infection. We found that γδ T cells protected neonatal mice against mortality during influenza infection. γδ T cell deficiency did not alter viral clearance or interferon-γ production. Instead, neonatal influenza infection induced the accumulation of interleukin-17A (IL-17A)-producing γδ T cells, which was associated with IL-33 production by lung epithelial cells. Neonates lacking IL-17A-expressing γδ T cells or Il33 had higher mortality upon influenza infection. γδ T cells and IL-33 promoted lung infiltration of group 2 innate lymphoid cells and regulatory T cells, resulting in increased amphiregulin secretion and tissue repair. In influenza-infected children, IL-17A, IL-33, and amphiregulin expression were correlated, and increased IL-17A levels in nasal aspirates were associated with better clinical outcomes. Our results indicate that γδ T cells are required in influenza-infected neonates to initiate protective immunity and mediate lung homeostasis.

Severe respiratory infections can result in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)1. There are no effective pharmacological therapies that have been shown to improve outcomes for patients with ARDS. Although the host inflammatory response limits spread of and eventually clears the pathogen, immunopathology is a major contributor to tissue damage and ARDS1,2. Here we demonstrate that respiratory viral infection induces distinct fibroblast activation states, which we term extracellular matrix (ECM)-synthesizing, damage-responsive and interferon-responsive states. We provide evidence that excess activity of damage-responsive lung fibroblasts drives lethal immunopathology during severe influenza virus infection. By producing ECM-remodelling enzymes-in particular the ECM protease ADAMTS4-and inflammatory cytokines, damage-responsive fibroblasts modify the lung microenvironment to promote robust immune cell infiltration at the expense of lung function. In three cohorts of human participants, the levels of ADAMTS4 in the lower respiratory tract were associated with the severity of infection with seasonal or avian influenza virus. A therapeutic agent that targets the ECM protease activity of damage-responsive lung fibroblasts could provide a promising approach to preserving lung function and improving clinical outcomes following severe respiratory infections.

RESUMO
T cells promote our body's ability to battle cancers and infectious diseases but can act pathologically in autoimmunity. The recognition of peptides presented by major histocompatibility complex (pMHC) molecules by T cell receptors (TCRs) enables T cell-mediated responses. To modify disease-relevant T cells, new tools to genetically modify T cells and decode their antigen recognition are needed. Here, we present an approach using viruses pseudotyped with peptides loaded on MHC called V-CARMA (Viral ChimAeric Receptor MHC-Antigen) to specifically target T cells expressing cognate TCRs for antigen discovery and T cell engineering. We show that lentiviruses displaying antigens on human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I and class II molecules can robustly infect CD8+ and CD4+ T cells expressing cognate TCRs, respectively. The infection rates of the pseudotyped lentiviruses (PLVs) are correlated with the binding affinity of the TCR to its cognate antigen. Furthermore, peptide-HLA pseudotyped lentivirus V-CARMA constructs can identify target cells from a mixed T cell population, suppress PD-1 expression on CD8+ T cells via PDCD1 shRNA delivery, and induce apoptosis in autoreactive CD4+ T cells. Thus, V-CARMA is a versatile tool for TCR ligand identification and selective T cell manipulation.

Recent studies have indicated that functional abnormalities in the KNa1.2 channel are linked to epileptic encephalopathies. However, the role of KNa1.2 channel in traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains limited. We collected brain tissue from the TBI mice and patients with post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) to determine changes in KNa1.2 channel following TBI. We also investigated whether the MAPK pathway, which was activated by the released cytokines after injury, regulated KNa1.2 channel in in vitro. Finally, to elucidate the physiological significance of KNa1.2 channel in neuronal excitability, we utilized the null mutant-Kcnt2-/- mice and compared their behavior patterns, seizure susceptibility, and neuronal firing properties to wild type (WT) mice. TBI was induced in both Kcnt2-/- and WT mice to investigate any differences between the two groups under pathological condition. Our findings revealed that the expression of KNa1.2 channel was notably increased only during the acute phase following TBI, while no significant elevation was observed during the late phase. Furthermore, we identified the released cytokines and activated MAPK pathway in the neurons after TBI and confirmed that KNa1.2 channel was enhanced by the MAPK pathway via stimulation of TNF-α. Subsequently, compared to WT mice, neurons from Kcnt2-/- mice showed increased neuronal excitability and Kcnt2-/- mice displayed motor deficits and enhanced seizure susceptibility, which suggested that KNa1.2 channel may be neuroprotective. Therefore, this study suggests that enhanced KNa1.2 channel, facilitated by the inflammatory response, may exert a protective role in an acute phase of the TBI model.

Nowadays, easy, convenient, and sensitive sensing strategies are still critical for organophosphorus pesticides in environmental water samples. Herein, a novel organophosphorus pesticide (OP) assay based on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and a MnO2 nanosheet-mediated CRISPR/Cas12a reaction is reported. The single-strand DNA (ssDNA) activator of CRISPR/Cas12a was simply adsorbed on the MnO2 nanosheets as the nanoswitches of the assay. In the absence of target OPs, AChE hydrolyzed acetylcholine (ATCh) to thiocholine (TCh), which reduced the MnO2 nanosheets to Mn2+, resulting in the release of the activator followed by activation of the CRISPR/Cas12a system. The activated Cas12a thereafter nonspecifically cleaved the FAM/BHQ1-labeled ssDNA (FQ-reporter), producing a fluorescence signal. Upon the addition of target OPs, the hydrolysis of ATCh by AChE was inhibited owing to OPs combining with AChE, and thus effective quantification of OPs could be achieved by measuring the fluorescence changes of the system. As a proof of concept, dichlorvos (DDVP) was chosen as a model OP analyte to address the feasibility of the proposed method. Attributed to the excellent trans-cleavage activity of Cas12a, the fluorescent biosensor exhibits a satisfactory limit of detection (LOD) for DDVP at 0.135 ng mL-1. In addition, the excellent recoveries for the detection of DDVP in environmental water samples demonstrate the applicability of the proposed assay in real sample research.

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) induced competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNA) play crucial roles in various biological process by regulating target gene expression. However, the studies of ceRNA networks in the regulation of ovarian ovulation processing of chicken remains deficient compared to that in mammals. Our present study revealed that circEML1 was differential expressed in hen's ovarian tissues at different ages (15 W/20 W/30 W/68 W) and identified as a loop structure from EML1 pre-mRNA, which promoted the expressions of CYP19A1/StAR and E2/P4 secretion in follicular granulosa cells (GCs). Furthermore, circEML1 could serve as a sponge of gga-miR-449a and also found that IGF2BP3 was targeted by gga-miR-449a to co-participate in the steroidogenesis, which possibly act the regulatory role via mTOR/p38MAPK pathways. Meanwhile, in the rescue experiment, gga-miR-449a could reverse the promoting role of circEML1 to IGF2BP3 and steroidogenesis. Eventually, this study suggested that circEML1/gga-miR-449a/IGF2BP3 axis exerted an important role in the steroidogenesis in GCs of chicken.

Plesiomonas shigelloides, a Gram-negative bacillus, is the only member of the Enterobacteriaceae family able to produce polar and lateral flagella and cause gastrointestinal and extraintestinal illnesses in humans. The flagellar transcriptional hierarchy of P. shigelloides is currently unknown. In this study, we identified FlaK, FlaM, FliA, and FliAL as the four regulators responsible for polar and lateral flagellar regulation in P. shigelloides. To determine the flagellar transcription hierarchy of P. shigelloides, the transcriptomes of the WT and ΔflaK, ΔflaM, ΔfliA, and ΔfliAL were carried out for comparison in this study. Quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) and luminescence screening assays were used to validate the RNA-seq results, and the Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay (EMSA) results revealed that FlaK can directly bind to the promoters of fliK, fliE, flhA, and cheY, while the FlaM protein can bind directly to the promoters of flgO, flgT, and flgA. Meanwhile, we also observed type VI secretion system (T6SS) and type II secretion system 2 (T2SS-2) genes downregulated in the transcriptome profiles, and the killing assay revealed lower killing abilities for ΔflaK, ΔflaM, ΔfliA, and ΔfliAL compared to the WT, indicating that there was a cross-talk between the flagellar hierarchy system and bacterial secretion system. Invasion assays also showed that ΔflaK, ΔflaM, ΔfliA, and ΔfliAL were less effective in infecting Caco-2 cells than the WT. Additionally, we also found that the loss of flagellar regulators causes the differential expression of some of the physiological metabolic genes of P. shigelloides. Overall, this study aims to reveal the transcriptional hierarchy that controls flagellar gene expression in P. shigelloides, as well as the cross-talk between motility, virulence, and physiological and metabolic activity, laying the groundwork for future research into P. shigelloides' coordinated survival in the natural environment and the mechanisms that infect the host.

BACKGROUND: An orally aerosolized adenovirus type-5 vector-based coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine (Ad5-nCoV) has recently been authorized for boosting immunization in China. Our study aims to assess the environmental impact of the use of aerosolized Ad5-nCoV. METHODS: We collected air samples from rooms, swabs from the desks on which the vaccine nebulizer was set, mask samples from participants, and blood samples of nurses who administered the inoculation in the clinical trials. The viral load of adenovirus type-5 vector in the samples and the antibody levels against the wild-type severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) strain in serum were detected. RESULTS: Only one (4.00%) air sample collected before initiation of vaccination was positive and most air samples collected during and after vaccination were positive (97.96%, 100%, respectively). All nurses in trial A showed at least 4-fold increase of the neutralizing antibody against SARS-CoV-2 after initiation of the study. In trial B, the proportion of positive mask samples was 72.97% at 30 minutes after vaccination, 8.11% at day 1, and 0% at days 3, 5, and 7. CONCLUSIONS: Vaccination with the orally aerosolized Ad5-nCoV could result in some spillage of the vaccine vector viral particles in the environment and cause human exposure. Clinical Trials Registration. NCT04840992 and NCT05303584.

OBJECTIVE: Gut microbiota dysbiosis is closely linked to the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We aimed to identify potential probiotic gut microbes that can ameliorate the development of RA. DESIGN: Microbiota profiling in patients with RA and healthy individuals was investigated via 16S rDNA bacterial gene sequencing and shotgun metagenomics. Collagen-induced arthritic mice and TNF-α transgenic mice were used to evaluate the roles of the gut commensal Parabacteroides distasonis in RA. The effects of P. distasonis-derived microbial metabolites on the differentiation of CD4+ T cells and macrophage polarisation were also investigated. RESULTS: The relative abundance of P. distasonis in new-onset patients with RA and patients with RA with history of the disease was downregulated and this decrease was negatively correlated with Disease Activity Score-28 (DAS28). Oral treatment of arthritic mice with live P. distasonis (LPD) considerably ameliorated RA pathogenesis. LPD-derived lithocholic acid (LCA), deoxycholic acid (DCA), isolithocholic acid (isoLCA) and 3-oxolithocholic acid (3-oxoLCA) had similar and synergistic effects on the treatment of RA. In addition to directly inhibiting the differentiation of Th17 cells, 3-oxoLCA and isoLCA were identified as TGR5 agonists that promoted the M2 polarisation of macrophages. A specific synthetic inhibitor of bile salt hydrolase attenuated the antiarthritic effects of LPD by reducing the production of these four bile acids. The natural product ginsenoside Rg2 exhibited its anti-RA effects by promoting the growth of P. distasonis. CONCLUSIONS: P. distasonis and ginsenoside Rg2 might represent probiotic and prebiotic agents in the treatment of RA.

Uranium extraction from natural seawater is one of the most promising routes to address the shortage of uranium resources. By combination of ligand complexation and photocatalytic reduction, porous framework-based photocatalysts have been widely applied to uranium enrichment. However, their practical applicability is limited by poor photocatalytic activity and low adsorption capacity. Herein, atomically dispersed Cu implanted UiO-66-NH2 (Cu SA@UiO-66-NH2 ) photocatalysts are prepared via ligand-assistant iced photocatalytic reduction route. N-Cu-N moiety acts as an effective electron acceptor to potentially facilitate charge transfer kinetics. By contrast, there exist Cu sub-nanometer clusters by the typical liquid phase photoreduction, resulting in a relatively low photocatalytic activity. Cu SA@UiO-66-NH2 adsorbents exhibit superior antibacterial ability and improved photoreduction conversion of the adsorbed U(VI) to insoluble U(IV), leading to a high uranium sorption capacity of 9.16 mg-U/g-Ads from natural seawater. This study provides new insight for enhancing uranium uptake by designing SA-mediated MOF photocatalysts.
RESUMO
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), a class of transcripts exceeding 200 nucleotides and lacking protein coding potential, have been proven to play important roles in viral infection and host immunity. Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is an important pathogen, which causes the silkworm disease and leads to a huge challenge to the sericultural industry. At present, research on the roles of insect lncRNAs in host-virus interaction are relatively few. In this study, we explored the function of lincRNA_XR209691.3 that was significantly up-regulated in the silkworm fat body upon BmNPV infection. Firstly, the subcellular localization experiment confirmed that lincRNA_XR209691.3 was present in both the nucleus and cytoplasm. Enhancing the expression of lincRNA_XR209691.3 in BmN cells could promote the proliferation of BmNPV, while inhibition of lincRNA_XR209691.3 by RNA interference suppresses the proliferation of BmNPV. Combining RNA pull-down and mass spectrometry, we identified the host and BmNPV proteins that could interact with lincRNA_XR209691.3. Next, by using truncation experiment and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay, it was found that lincRNA_XR209691.3 could bind to the Actin domain of BmHSP70. Subsequently, overexpression of lncRNA_XR209691.3 in BmN cells promoted the expression of BmHSP70, while knockdown of BmHsp70 suppressed the replication of BmNPV. Based on the above results, it is speculated that lincRNA_XR209691.3 could promote the proliferation of BmNPV through interaction with BmHSP70, possibly by improving the stability of BmHSP70 and thereby enhancing the expression of BmHSP70. Our results shed light on the lncRNA function in insect-pathogen interactions and provide a new clue to elucidate the molecular mechanism of BmNPV infection.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious public health problem worldwide, which could lead to an extremely high percentage of mortality and disability. Current treatment strategies mainly concentrate on neuronal protection and reconstruction, among them, exogenous neural stem cell (NSC) transplantation has long been regarded as the most effective curative treatment. However, due to secondary trauma, transplant rejection, and increased incidence of brain malignant tumor, a non-invasive therapy that enhanced endogenous neurogenesis was more suitable for TBI treatment. Our previous work has shown that miR-132 overexpression could improve neuronal differentiation of NSCs in vitro and in vivo. So, we engineered a new kind of AAV vector named AAV-PHP.eB which can transfect brain parenchyma through intravenous injection to overexpress miR-132 in brain after TBI. We found that miR-132 overexpression could reduce impact volume, promote neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus (DG), accelerate neuroblast migrating into the impact cortex, ameliorate microglia-mediated inflammatory reaction, and ultimately restore learning memory function. Our results revealed that AAV-PHP.eB-based miR-132 overexpression could improve endogenous tissue repairment and release clinical symptoms after traumatic brain injury. This work would provide a new therapeutic strategy for TBI treatment and other neurological disorders characterized by markable neuronal loss and memory impairment. miR-132 overexpression accelerates endogenous neurogenesis and releases TBI-induced tissue repairment and memory impairment. Controlled cortical impact onto the cortex would induce serious cortical injury and microglia accumulation in both cortex and hippocampus. Moreover, endogenous neuroblast could migrate around the injury core. miR-132 overexpression could accelerate neuroblast migration toward the injury core and decreased microglia accumulation in the ipsilateral cortex and hippocampus. miR-132 could be a suitable target on neuroprotective therapy after TBI.

Stroke is characterized by the abrupt failure of blood flow to a specific brain region, resulting in insufficient supply of oxygen and glucose to the ischemic tissues. Timely reperfusion of blood flow can rescue dying tissue but can also lead to secondary damage to both the infarcted tissues and the blood-brain barrier, known as ischemia/reperfusion injury. Both primary and secondary damage result in biphasic opening of the blood-brain barrier, leading to blood-brain barrier dysfunction and vasogenic edema. Importantly, blood-brain barrier dysfunction, inflammation, and microglial activation are critical factors that worsen stroke outcomes. Activated microglia secrete numerous cytokines, chemokines, and inflammatory factors during neuroinflammation, contributing to the second opening of the blood-brain barrier and worsening the outcome of ischemic stroke. TNF-α, IL-1ß, IL-6, and other microglia-derived molecules have been shown to be involved in the breakdown of blood-brain barrier. Additionally, other non-microglia-derived molecules such as RNA, HSPs, and transporter proteins also participate in the blood-brain barrier breakdown process after ischemic stroke, either in the primary damage stage directly influencing tight junction proteins and endothelial cells, or in the secondary damage stage participating in the following neuroinflammation. This review summarizes the cellular and molecular components of the blood-brain barrier and concludes the association of microglia-derived and non-microglia-derived molecules with blood-brain barrier dysfunction and its underlying mechanisms.

OBJECTIVE: Patients had allergies to both fosaprepitant and docetaxel with similar signs and symptoms. To explore the possible causes of allergy and whether there is cross-allergy between fosaprepitant and docetaxel, we conducted a literature review according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. METHODS: A systematic search of the following databases was performed: Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science and Taylor & Francis. The final search was on 12 November 2022. Two investigators independently selected eligible studies and extracted data according to inclusion and exclusion criteria and assessed the methodological quality of included studies. Any disagreement was resolved by a third researcher. RESULTS: The main cause of fosaprepitant and docetaxel allergy is polysorbate 80. Fosaprepitant and docetaxel have similar allergic symptoms, mainly facial flushing (19.0%, 18.5%); erythema/dermatitis (17.2%, 1.9%); fluid retention (17.2%, 22.2%); and dyspnea, bronchospasm, shortness of breath and coughing (15.5%, 16.7%). Hypotension (1.7%, 7.4%) and decreased oxygen saturation (1.7%, 1.9%) are rare. The treatments for both allergies are similar: stop injection, oxygen, glucocorticoid, antihistamines and symptomatic treatments. CONCLUSION: Polysorbate 80 is the same allergenic component of docetaxel and fosaprepitant. The symptoms and treatments caused by the two drugs are similar. Most allergic reactions are not serious. Medications containing the same allergy ingredient need to be used with caution for patients with severe allergies to polysorbate 80.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), as a harmful bacteria associated with gastric cancer, can have adverse effects on human normal flora and metabolism. However, the effects of H. pylori on human metabolism have not been fully elucidated. The 13 C breathing test was used as the basis for distinguishing negative and positive groups. Serum samples were collected from the two groups for targeted quantitative metabolomics detection; multidimensional statistics were used, including partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), principal component analysis (PCA), orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), and differential metabolites were screened. Unidimensional statistics combined with multidimensional statistics were used to further screen potential biomarkers, and finally pathway analysis was performed. SPSS 21.0 software package was used for statistical analysis of experimental data. Multivariate statistical analysis such as PLS-DA, PCA, and OPLS-DA was performed using Simca-P 13.0 to search for differential metabolites. This study confirmed that H. pylori caused significant changes in human metabolism. In this experiment, 211 metabolites were detected in the serum of the two groups. Multivariate statistical analysis showed that PCA of metabolites was not significantly different between the two groups. PLS-DA indicated that the serum of the two groups was well clustered. There were significant differences in metabolites between OPLS-DA groups. By setting the variable importance in projection (VIP) threshold as one and the corresponding P-value <0.05, a total of 40 metabolites were screened in this study. P <0.05 and â£log2FCâ£>0 (where FC is the fold change) were used together as a unidimensional statistical filter condition. The analysis found that the expression of 15 metabolites such as propionic acid, acetic acid, adipic acid increased, and the metabolism of six products such as deoxycholic acid (DCA), 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid, pyruvic acid decreased. P <0.05, false discovery rate <0.5, â£log2FCâ£>1, and OPLSDA_VIP>1 were used together as a condition for filter screening potential biomarkers. Four potential biomarkers were screened, which were sebacic acid, isovaleric acid, DCA, and indole-3-carboxylic acid. Finally, the different metabolites were added to the pathway-associated metabolite sets (SMPDB) library for the corresponding pathway enrichment analysis. The significant abnormal metabolic pathways were taurine and subtaurine metabolism, tyrosine metabolism, glycolysis or gluconeogenesis, pyruvate metabolism, etc. This study shows that H. pylori has an impact on human metabolism. Not only a variety of metabolites have significant changes, but also metabolic pathways are abnormal, which may be the reason for the high risk of H. pylori causing gastric cancer.

Objective: To investigate the diagnostic value of transforming growth factor-ß1 (TGF-ß1), prostate-specific antigen isomer 2 (p2PSA) combined with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in prostate cancer (PCa). Methods: From October 1, 2019 to September 1, 2022 we enrolled a total of 90 patients with PCa90 patients with PCa in the urology department of our hospital were selected as the PCa group, 90 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were selected as the BPH group, and 90 healthy people were selected as a healthy control group. The levels of TGF-ß1, p2PSA and PSA in serum were detected, and the differences in TGF-ß1, p2PSA and PSA levels among the three groups and PCa patients with different pathological parameters were compared. Univariate and Logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the independent risk factors affecting the occurrence of PCa. With pathological results as the 'gold standard', the diagnostic efficacy of TGF-ß1, p2PSA and PSA alone and their combination for PCa was analyzed by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results: The levels of serum PSA, p2PSA, and TGF-ß1 in the PCa group were higher than those in the BPH group and control group (P < .001), and those in BPH group were higher than those in the control group (P < .001). The serum indexes of PCa group increased with the increase of Glerson grade and TNM stage (P < .001). The serum indexes of patients with lymph and bone metastasis were significantly higher than those without lymph and bone metastasis (P < .001). Logistic regression analysis showed that PSA, p2PSA and TGF-ß1 were independent risk factors for PCa (P < .001). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of PSA, p2PSA, TGF-ß1 and combined detection were 0.738, 0.862, 0.821 and 0.932, respectively. The AUC of combined detection was greater than that of single detection (P < .001). Conclusion: The expression levels of serum TGF-ß1, p2PSA and PSA are related to PCa and are independent risk factors for PCa. The combined detection of the three groups can improve the diagnostic efficacy of PCa. Combined testing improves diagnostic accuracy for prostate cancer, allows for early intervention, and improves patient survival and confidence in treatment options. This will significantly improve the clinical management of prostate cancer. Future studies could explore other biomarkers or molecular indicators to further improve the accuracy of diagnosis and grading of prostate cancer. Additionally, differences between different populations and subtypes can be studied to better understand the heterogeneity of prostate cancer.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy and safety of autologous platelet-rich plasma (au-PRP) for diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) treatment. METHOD: We conducted database searches (MEDLINE, EMBASE, evidence-based medicine reviews: CENTRAL, PubMed, and Web of Science) and reference mining for randomised controlled trials from inception to 23 January 2022. Results were scrutinised, data were extracted and research quality was investigated by two independent authors. Primary outcome was the proportion of complete ulcer healing. Secondary outcomes included both the mean time to complete healing and the incidence of adverse events. Statistical analyses were performed in RevMan 5.4 (Cochrane, UK). Kaplan-Meier curves for time to complete healing were pooled in R software (version 4.1.2) (R Foundation, Austria). RESULTS: Of the 231 records identified, 17 studies with a total of 1303 participants (649 randomised to the au-PRP group and 654 to a standard of care (SOC) group) met the eligibility criteria and were included in our study. Compared with SOC, au-PRP appeared to promote the complete healing rate (odds ratio (OR): 2.11; 95% Confidence Interval: 1.55-2.86). Au-PRP also appeared to significantly shorten complete healing time (mean duration: -19.04 days; 95%CI: -20.46--17.61]). There was no significant difference on adverse events. Results were robust on sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSION: Based on the findings of this review and meta-analysis, Au-PRP is an effective and safe adjuvant therapy for DFUs.

The O-antigen is one of the outermost surface components of Gram-negative bacteria. Its large structural variation provides the molecular basis for bacterial serological diversity. Here, we established the structure of the O-antigen from an Escherichia coli strain, SD2019180, which appeared to be completely different from the known E. coli serogroups. The O-antigen tetrasaccharide biological repeating unit was identified as â 2)-[ß-d-GlcpA-(1 â 4)]-[α-d-Galp-(1 â 3)]-α-l-Fucp-(1 â 3)-α-d-GlcpNAc-(1 â. Furthermore, we analyzed the O-antigen gene cluster of SD2019180 and confirmed its role in O-antigen synthesis by using deletion and complementation experiments. Our findings indicate that SD2019180 is a novel serogroup of Escherichia coli.
