Dual-band frequency reconfigurable metasurface antenna for millimeter wave joint communication and radar sensing systems.

This paper introduces an innovative, compact, and high-gain metasurface antenna, covering both the 24 GHz millimeter wave (mmWave) radar band and the 5 G n257 and n258 bands. The proposed metasurface antenna consists of a wideband stacked patch antenna and a dual-layer metasurface to focus its radiation beams for multiple mmWave bands. The operating frequency can be slightly shifted by altering the distance between the feeder and the metasurface. The distribution of the metasurface unit cells is designed based on a simplified phase compensation formula. The dimension of the fabricated feeder is 6 mm × 6 mm, and the metasurface occupies a 65 mm × 65 mm radome area. Experimental results demonstrate a wide bandwidth from 23.5 GHz to 29.1 GHz for the feeder, and impressive maximum gains of 19.7 dBi and 19.5 dBi for the lower band and higher band of the metasurface antenna are achieved simultaneously. The frequency reconfiguration ability was characterized by a 750 MHz frequency shift with every 1 mm distance adjustment. The compact size and high gain performance of the proposed design underscore its potential for practical applications in millimeter wave joint communication and radar sensing systems.

Traditional Chinese medicine for post-viral olfactory dysfunction: A systematic review.

Background: Post-viral olfactory dysfunction (PVOD) is the common symptoms of long COVID, lacking of effective treatments. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is claimed to be effective in treating olfactory dysfunction, but the evidence has not yet been critically appraised. We conducted a systematic review to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of TCM for PVOD. Methods: We searched eight databases to identified clinical controlled studies about TCM for PVOD. The Cochrane risk of bias tools and GRADE were used to evaluate the quality of evidence. Risk ratio (RR), mean differences (MD), and 95 % confidence interval (CI), were used for effect estimation and RevMan 5.4.1 was used for data analysis. Results: Six randomized controlled trials (RCTs) (545 participants), two non-randomized controlled trials (non-RCTs) (112 participants), and one retrospective cohort study (30 participants) were included. The overall quality of included studies was low. Acupuncture (n = 8) and acupoint injection (n = 3) were the mainly used TCM therapies. Five RCTs showed a better effect in TCM group. Four trials used acupuncture, and three trials used acupoint injection. The results of two non-RCTs and one cohort study were not statistically significant. Two trials reported mild to moderate adverse events (pain and brief syncope caused by acupuncture or acupoint injection). Conclusions: Limited evidence focus on acupuncture and acupoint injection for PVOD and suggests that acupuncture and acupoint injection may be effective in improving PVOD. More well-designed trials should focus on acupuncture to confirm the benefit. Protocol registration: The protocol of this review was registered at PROSPERO: CRD42022366776.

Effect of Oxycodone-Based Multimodal Analgesia on Visceral Pain After Major Laparoscopic Gastrointestinal Surgery: A Randomised, Double-Blind, Controlled Trial.

Purpose: Oxycodone is a potent µ- and κ-opioid receptor agonist that can relieve both somatic and visceral pain. We assessed oxycodone- vs sufentanil-based multimodal analgesia on postoperative pain following major laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery. Methods: In this randomised double-blind controlled trial, 40 adult patients were randomised (1:1, stratified by type of surgery) to receive oxycodone- or sufentanil-based multimodal analgesia, comprising bilateral transverse abdominis plane blocks, intraoperative dexmedetomidine infusion, flurbiprofen axetil, and oxycodone- or sufentanil-based patient-controlled analgesia. The co-primary outcomes were time-weighted average (TWA) of visceral pain (defined as intra-abdominal deep and dull pain) at rest and on coughing during 0-24 h postoperatively, assessed using the numerical rating scale (0-10) with a minimal clinically important difference of 1. Results: All patients completed the study (median age, 64 years; 65% male) and had adequate postoperative pain control. The mean (SD) 24-h TWA of visceral pain at rest was 1.40 (0.77) in the oxycodone group vs 2.00 (0.98) in the sufentanil group (mean difference=-0.60, 95% CI, -1.16 to -0.03; P=0.039). Patients in the oxycodone group had a significantly lower 24-h TWA of visceral pain on coughing (2.00 [0.83] vs 2.98 [1.26]; mean difference=-0.98, 95% CI, -1.66 to -0.30; P=0.006). In the subgroup analyses, the treatment effect of oxycodone vs sufentanil on the co-primary outcomes did not differ in terms of age (18-65 years or >65 years), sex (female or male), or type of surgery (colorectal or gastric). Secondary outcomes (24-h TWA of incisional and shoulder pain, postoperative analgesic usage, rescue analgesia, adverse events, and patient satisfaction) were comparable between groups. Conclusion: For patients undergoing major laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery, oxycodone-based multimodal analgesia reduced postoperative visceral pain in a statistically significant but not clinically important manner. Trial Registration: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2100052085).

Variant-specific antibody response following repeated SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and infection.

The ongoing emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants poses challenges to the immunity induced by infections and vaccination. We conduct a 6-month longitudinal evaluation of antibody binding and neutralization of sera from individuals with six different combinations of vaccination and infection against BA.5, XBB.1.5, EG.5.1, and BA.2.86. We find that most individuals produce spike-binding IgG or neutralizing antibodies against BA.5, XBB.1.5, EG.5.1, and BA.2.86 2 months after infection or vaccination. However, compared to ancestral strain and BA.5 variant, XBB.1.5, EG.5.1, and BA.2.86 exhibit comparable but significant immune evasion. The spike-binding IgG and neutralizing antibody titers decrease in individuals without additional antigen exposure, and <50% of individuals neutralize XBB.1.5, EG.5.1, and BA.2.86 during the 6-month follow-up. Approximately 57% of the 107 followed up individuals experienced an additional infection, leading to improved binding IgG and neutralizing antibody levels against these variants. These findings provide insights into the impact of SARS-CoV-2 variants on immunity following repeated exposure.

Highly Horizontal Oriented Tricomponent Exciplex Host with Multiple Reverse Intersystem Crossing Channels for High-Performance Narrowband Electroluminescence and Eye-Protection White Organic Light-emitting Diodes.

Despite multiple-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) emitters with small full-width at half maximum are attractive for wide color-gamut display and eye-protection lighting applications, their inefficient reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) process and long exciton lifetime inducing serious efficiency roll-off, which significantly limits their development. Herein, a novel device concept of building highly efficient tricomponent exciplex with multiple RISC channels is proposed to realize reduced exciton quenching and enhanced upconversion of nonradiative triplet excitons, and subsequently used as host for high-performance MR-TADF organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Compared with traditional binary exciplex, the tricomponent exciplex exhibits obviously improved photoluminescence quantum yield, emitting dipole orientation and RISC rate constant, and a record-breaking external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 30.4% is achieved for tricomponent exciplex p-PhBCzPh: PO-T2T: DspiroAc-TRZ (50: 20: 30) based OLED. Remarkably, maximum EQEs of 36.2% and 40.3% and ultralow efficiency roll-off with EQEs of 26.1% and 30.0% at 1000 cd m-2 are respectively achieved for its sky-blue and pure-green MR-TADF doped OLEDs. Additionally, the blue emission unit hosted by tricomponent exciplex is combined with an orange-red TADF emission unit to achieve a double-emission-layer blue-hazard-free warm white OLED with an EQEmax of 30.3% and stable electroluminescence spectra over a wide brightness range.

Comparison and optimization of different CRISPR/Cas9 donor-adapting systems for gene editing.

Gene knock-in in mammalian cells usually uses homology-directed repair (HDR) mechanism to integrate exogenous DNA template into the target genome site. However, HDR efficiency is often low, and the co-localization of exogenous DNA template and target genome site is one of the key limiting factors. To improve the efficiency of HDR mediated by CRISPR/Cas9 system, our team and previous studies fused different adaptor proteins with SpCas9 protein and expressed them. By using their characteristics of binding to specific DNA sequences, many different CRISPR/SpCas9 donor adapter gene editing systems were constructed. In this study, we used them to knock-in eGFP gene at the 3'-end of the terminal exon of GAPDH and ACTB genes in HEK293T cells to facilitate a comparison and optimization of these systems. We utilized an optimized donor DNA template design method, validated the knock-in accuracy via PCR and Sanger sequencing, and assessed the efficiency using flow cytometry. The results showed that the fusion of yGal4BD, hGal4BD, hLacI, hTHAP11 as well as N57 and other adaptor proteins with the C-terminus of SpCas9 protein had no significant effect on its activity. At the GAPDH site, the donor adapter systems of SpCas9 fused with yGal4BD, hGal4BD, hLacI and hTHAP11 significantly improved the knock-in efficiency. At the ACTB site, SpCas9 fused with yGal4BD and hGal4BD significantly improved the knock-in efficiency. Furthermore, increasing the number of BS in the donor DNA template was beneficial to enhance the knock-in efficiency mediated by SpCas9-hTHAP11 system. In conclusion, this study compares and optimizes multiple CRISPR/Cas9 donor adapter gene editing systems, providing valuable insights for future gene editing applications.

An integrated electronic tag-based vertical flow assay (e-VFA) with micro-sieve and AlGaN/GaN HEMT sensors for multi-target detection in actual saliva.

Vertical flow assay (VFA) is an effective point-of-care (POC) diagnostic tool for widespread application. Nevertheless, the lack of multi-target detection and multi-signal readout capability still remains a challenge. Herein, a brand new VFA scheme for multi-target saliva detection based on electronic tags was proposed, where AlGaN/GaN HEMT sensors modified with different bio-receptors as electronic tags endowed the VFA with multi-target detection capability. In addition, the use of electronic tags instead of optical tags allowed the VFA to simultaneously carry out direct multi-target readouts, which ensure effective POC diagnostics for saliva analysis. Moreover, by integrating a hydrophilically optimized micro-sieve, impurities like sticky filaments, epidermal cells and other large-scale charged particles in saliva were effectively screened, which enabled the direct detection of saliva using AlGaN/GaN HEMT sensors. Glucose, urea, and cortisol were selected to verify the feasibility of the multi-target e-VFA scheme, and the results showed that the limit of detection (LOD) was as low as 100 aM. The linear response was demonstrated in the dynamic range of 100 aM to 100 µM, and the specificity, long-term stability and validity of the actual saliva test were also verified. These results demonstrated that the as-proposed e-VFA has potential for application in saliva detection for simultaneous multi-target detection, and it is expected to achieve the real-time detection of more biological targets in saliva.

A salivary urea sensor based on a microsieve disposable gate AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor.

The abundant bio-markers in saliva provide a new option for non-invasive testing. However, due to the presence of impurities in the saliva background, most of the existing saliva testing methods rely on pre-processing, which limits the application of saliva testing as a convenient means of testing in daily life. Herein, a disposable-gate AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) biosensor integrated with a micro-sieve was introduced to solve the problem of signal interference caused by charged impurities in saliva for HEMT based biosensors, where the micro-sieve was utilized as a pre-treatment unit to remove large particles of impurities from saliva through the size effect and thus greatly improving the accuracy of detection. The experimental results showed that the HEMT based biosensor has excellent linearity (R2 = 0.9977) and a high sensitivity of 6.552 µA dec-1 for urea sensing from 1 fM to 100 mM in 0.1× PBS solution. When it comes to artificial saliva detection, compared to the HEMT sensor without the micro-sieve (sensitivity = 3.07432 µA dec-1), the sensitivity of the HEMT sensor integrated with the micro-sieve showed almost no change. Moreover, to verify that urea can be detected in actual saliva, urea is sensed directly in human saliva. The addition of the microsieve module provides a new way for biosensors to detect specific markers in saliva in real time, and the designed HEMT biosensor with the microsieve function has a wide range of application potential in rapid saliva detection.

Single-cell transcriptomics of blood identified IFIT1+ neutrophil subcluster expansion in NTM-PD patients.

OBJECTIVE: Non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) is caused by an imbalance between pathogens and impaired host immune responses. Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) and Mycobacterium abscessus (MAB) are the two major pathogens that cause NTM-PD. In this study, we sought to dissect the transcriptomes of peripheral blood immune cells at the single-cell resolution in NTM-PD patients and explore potential clinical markers for NTM-PD diagnosis and treatment. METHODS: Peripheral blood samples were collected from six NTM-PD patients, including three MAB-PD patients, three MAC-PD patients, and two healthy controls. We employed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to define the transcriptomic landscape at a single-cell resolution. A comprehensive scRNA-seq analysis was performed, and flow cytometry was conducted to validate the results of scRNA-seq. RESULTS: A total of 27,898 cells were analyzed. Nine T-cells, six mononuclear phagocytes (MPs), and four neutrophil subclusters were defined. During NTM infection, naïve T-cells were reduced, and effector T-cells increased. High cytotoxic activities were shown in T-cells of NTM-PD patients. The proportion of inflammatory and activated MPs subclusters was enriched in NTM-PD patients. Among neutrophil subclusters, an IFIT1+ neutrophil subcluster was expanded in NTM-PD compared to healthy controls. This suggests that IFIT1+ neutrophil subcluster might play an important role in host defense against NTM. Functional enrichment analysis of this subcluster suggested that it is related to interferon response. Cell-cell interaction analysis revealed enhanced CXCL8-CXCR1/2 interactions between the IFIT1+ neutrophil subcluster and NK cells, NKT cells, classical mononuclear phagocytes subcluster 1 (classical Mo1), classical mononuclear phagocytes subcluster 2 (classical Mo2) in NTM-PD patients compared to healthy controls. CONCLUSIONS: Our data revealed disease-specific immune cell subclusters and provided potential new targets of NTM-PD. Specific expansion of IFIT1+ neutrophil subclusters and the CXCL8-CXCR1/2 axis may be involved in the pathogenesis of NTM-PD. These insights may have implications for the diagnosis and treatment of NTM-PD.

A new Co4-added polyoxometalate (CoAP) Cs4[(Co(H2O)5)2{(µ2-Co(H2O)4)2Co4(H2O)2(B-α-GeW9O34)2}]·6H2O (1) has been made using a lacunary directing strategy under hydrothermal conditions. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis demonstrated that 1 is a one-dimensional (1D) chain, in which CoAP is linked by cobalt-oxygen octahedra to form a 1D structure with excellent chemical stability. The visible light-driven H2 evolution test demonstrated that 1 has high activity, with an H2 evolution rate of 1485.95 µmol h-1 g-1. PXRD and FT-IR tests demonstrated that compound 1 exhibits excellent heterogeneous catalytic stability.

M6[Cd2(CO3)2(B12O18)(OH)6] (M = K, Rb): Borate-Carbonates with Two CdCO3 Embedded in a Cyclic Oxoboron Anion.

Two metal borate-carbonates, M6[Cd2(CO3)2(B12O18)(OH)6] [M = K (1), Rb (2)], were obtained under surfactant-thermal conditions. In 1 and 2, each cyclic [(B12O18)(OH)6]6- anion captures two CdCO3 in two sides of the rings and finally forms the unusual (CdCO3)2@[(B12O18)(OH)6] cluster. Both 1 and 2 show moderate birefringence. Density functional theory calculations indicate that carbonate groups have a major contribution to electron-related optical transition.

Schottky Junction Enhanced Photosynthesis of Hydrogen Peroxide by Ultrathin Porous Carbon Nitride Supported Ni Nanoparticles.

Artificial photosynthesis for high-value hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) through a two-electron reduction reaction is a green and sustainable strategy. However, the development of highly active H2O2 photocatalysts is impeded by severe carrier recombination, ineffective active sites, and low surface reaction efficiency. We developed a dual optimization strategy to load dense Ni nanoparticles onto ultrathin porous graphitic carbon nitride (Ni-UPGCN). In the absence and presence of sacrificial agents, Ni-UPGCN achieved H2O2 production rates of 169 and 4116 µmol g-1 h-1 with AQY (apparent quantum efficiency) at 420 nm of 3.14% and 17.71%. Forming a Schottky junction, the surface-modified Ni nanoparticles broaden the light absorption boundary and facilitate charge separation, which act as active sites, promoting O2 adsorption and reducing the formation energy of *OOH (reaction intermediate). This results in a substantial improvement in both H2O2 generation activity and selectivity. The Schottky junction of dual modulation strategy provides novel insights into the advancement of highly effective photocatalytic agents for the photosynthesis of H2O2.

Transition metal-substituted polyoxometalate-ionic liquids with remarkable flame retardancy performance.

The development of effective and novel flame retardants has been attracting considerable attention in extenuating the fire threat of flammable polymer materials including the widely-used epoxy resins. In this work, we pioneeringly report the construction of transition-metal-substituted polyoxometalate-ionic liquids (tmsPOM-ILs) as effective flame retardants, which consist of tetra-metal-containing POMs ([M4(H2O)2(PW9O34)2]10-, M4P2, M = Ni, Cu) anions and tetra-n-heptylammonium [(n-C7H15)4N+, THPA] cations. The resulting tmsPOM-ILs exhibited remarkably improved fire-safety of the epoxy resin (EP) matrix and even at a loading amount of as low as 3 wt%, the flame retardancy efficiency was even higher than that of commercial flame retardants (aluminum hydroxide (ATH), triphenyl phosphate (TPP), and decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE)). Physicochemical and mechanistic studies revealed that the remarkable flame retardancy performance of the tmsPOM-ILs reported is due to their excellent epoxy matrix compatibility and remarkable catalytic charring ability. This work opens up a brand-new research direction of developing next-generation compatible and effective tmsPOM-based molecular flame retardants at the molecular level.

Pseudorabies virus hijacks the Rab6 protein to promote viral assembly and egress.

Pseudorabies virus (PRV) is recognized as the aetiological agent responsible for Aujeszky's disease, or pseudorabies, in swine populations. Rab6, a member of the small GTPase family, is implicated in various membrane trafficking processes, particularly exocytosis regulation. Its involvement in PRV infection, however, has not been documented previously. In our study, we observed a significant increase in the Rab6 mRNA and protein levels in both PK-15 porcine kidney epithelial cells and porcine alveolar macrophages, as well as in the lungs and spleens of mice infected with PRV. The overexpression of wild-type Rab6 and its GTP-bound mutant facilitated PRV proliferation, whereas the GDP-bound mutant form of Rab6 had no effect on viral propagation. These findings indicated that the GTPase activity of Rab6 was crucial for the successful spread of PRV. Further investigations revealed that the reduction in Rab6 levels through knockdown significantly hampered PRV proliferation and disrupted virus assembly and egress. At the molecular level, Rab6 was found to interact with the PRV glycoproteins gB and gE, both of which are essential for viral assembly and egress. Our results collectively suggest that PRV exploits Rab6 to expedite its assembly and egress and identify Rab6 as a promising novel target for therapeutic treatment for PRV infection.

Metabolomics of Vitis davidii Foëx. grapes from southern China: Flavonoids and volatiles reveal the flavor profiles of five spine grape varieties.

The spine grapes (Vitis davidii Foëx.) are wild grape species that grow in southern China, and can be used for table grapes, juicing and winemaking. To systematically investigate the flavor profiles of spine grapes, flavonoids and volatile compounds were detected in five spine grape varieties (Seputao, Ziqiu, Miputao, Tianputao and Baiputao) using HPLC-QqQ-MS/MS and GC-MS. The content of flavonoids highly depended on the variety, such as the total concentrations of anthocyanins (91.43-328.85 mg/kg FW) and flavonols (33.90 to 83.16 mg/kg FW). The volatile compounds with higher odor active value were selected to describe the aroma of spine grapes. Hexanal, (E)-2-hexenal and (E, Z)-2,6-nonadienal contributed to the higher herbaceous flavor to Baiputao and Ziqiu. ß-Damascenone and (E)-2-nonenal gave Baiputao a flavor with more floral, fruity and earthy. Their characteristic flavor compounds were subsequently revealed using multivariate statistical analysis. The results helped producers to further develop and utilize the spine grapes.

Two Different Three-Dimensional Uranium-Containing Polymolybdates Based on Zn(II) for the Heterogeneous Catalytic Construction of C-N Bond.

The introduction of transition metal (TM) ions into polyoxometalates (POMs) cannot only bring about interesting structural diversities but also enable changes in properties. However, TM-containing Silverton-type polyoxomolybdates are still lacking in terms of structural diversity and application development. Herein, two Zn(II)-containing Silverton-type {UMo12O42}-based polyoxomolybdates, H1.89Na4.11(H2O)9Zn[UMo12O42]·4.5H2O (Zn-1) and H1.8Na4.2(H2O)12Zn[UMo12O42] (Zn-2) were hydrothermally synthesized, demonstrating a practical strategy to assembly of TM-containing Silverton-type POMs. Zn-1 is proven to be an excellent and recyclable heterogeneous catalyst in cross-dehydrogenation coupling of 1,4-naphthoquinones with amines reactions, and a series of 2-amino-1,4-naphthoquinones with potential medicinal value have been constructed.

Polyoxometalate-mediated syntheses of three structurally new silver clusters.

Three structurally new polyoxometalate-templated silver clusters, homometallic [(SiW9O34)@Ag24(iPrS)11(DPPP)6Cl]2(SiW12O40) (Ag24), heterometallic [(SiW9O34)@Ag22Cu(iPrS)11(DPPP)6Cl](SbF6)2 (Ag22Cu) and {Ag16(iPrS)6(DPPP)8(CH3COO)4[Co4(OH)3(H2O)SiW9O33]2}·(CH3CN)4 (Ag16Co8) (iPrS- = isopropanethiolate, DPPP = 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane, SbF6- = hexafluoroantimonate) have been successfully synthesized using a facile solvothermal approach. The introduction of copper and cobalt ions can induce obvious changes in the molecular configuration of the obtained clusters, leading to distinct temperature-dependent photoluminescence and photothermal conversion properties.

Two structurally new Lindqvist hexaniobate-templated silver thiolate clusters.

Two structurally new Lindqvist hexaniobate-templated silver thiolate clusters, [Nb6O19@Ag45(iPrS)23(CH3COO)14] (Ag45) and (H3O)4[Nb6O19@Ag41KS2.5O2(H2O)7.5(iPrS)24(CH3COO)5] (Ag41), were synthesized using a facile one-pot solvothermal approach. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses revealed the presence of a classical Lindqvist-type [Nb6O19]8- anion template, with iPrS- and CH3COO- surface-protecting ligands in both silver clusters, which can further form two-dimensional Ag45 assembly and one-dimensional Ag41 chain packing structures. Both Ag45 and Ag41 clusters exhibited intriguing photothermal conversion properties and temperature-dependent emission behavior.

Rational Conversion of Imine Linkages to Amide Linkages in Covalent Organic Frameworks for Photocatalytic Oxidation with Enhanced Photostability.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and their applications in photocatalysis have been extensively studied, but the instability of imine-linked COFs is an important factor limiting their performance. In this work, two imine-linked COFs were successfully converted to amide-linked COFs through post synthetic modification (PSM). The oxidized COFs presented lower binding energy to O2, exhibited higher photocatalytic activity for oxidation of thioethers and coupling of benzylamines with excellent stability. The present work can serve as a reliable reference for the development of novel highly active and stable COF-based photocatalysts.

Pseudorabies virus manipulates mitochondrial tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase 2 for viral replication.

The pseudorabies virus (PRV) is identified as a double-helical DNA virus responsible for causing Aujeszky's disease, which results in considerable economic impacts globally. The enzyme tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase 2 (WARS2), a mitochondrial protein involved in protein synthesis, is recognized for its broad expression and vital role in the translation process. The findings of our study showed an increase in both mRNA and protein levels of WARS2 following PRV infection in both cell cultures and animal models. Suppressing WARS2 expression via RNA interference in PK-15 â€‹cells led to a reduction in PRV infection rates, whereas enhancing WARS2 expression resulted in increased infection rates. Furthermore, the activation of WARS2 in response to PRV was found to be reliant on the cGAS/STING/TBK1/IRF3 signaling pathway and the interferon-alpha receptor-1, highlighting its regulation via the type I interferon signaling pathway. Further analysis revealed that reducing WARS2 levels hindered PRV's ability to promote protein and lipid synthesis. Our research provides novel evidence that WARS2 facilitates PRV infection through its management of protein and lipid levels, presenting new avenues for developing preventative and therapeutic measures against PRV infections.
