RESUMO

BACKGROUND: A first-dose of various vaccines provides acceptable protection against infections by SARS-CoV-2 and evolution to the most severe forms of COVID-19. The recombinant adenovirus (rAd)-based vaccine, Gam-COVID-Vac (Sputnik V), was proven efficacious but information about effectiveness in the real-world setting is lacking. The aim of our study was to investigate the association between the rollout of the first component (rAd26) of Gam-COVID-Vac and PCR-positive tests, hospitalisations and deaths. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study which analyzed individuals aged 60-79 who self-registered in the online vaccination system of the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, from December 29, 2020 to March 21, 2021. Exclusion criteria were having a previous positive RT-PCR or antigen tests for SARS-CoV-2, having received other vaccines, or two doses of any vaccine.Proportions of new laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections, hospitalisations and deaths until 83 days of vaccination were compared between vaccinated and unvaccinated subjects. Vaccine effectiveness for the three outcomes was calculated as (1-OR) × 100. Kaplan-Meier cumulative incidence curves were constructed. FINDINGS: During the study period 415995 registered subjects received the first component of Gam-COVID-Vac; 40387 belonged to the 60-79 age group, and were compared to 38978 unvaccinated. Vaccine effectiveness for preventing laboratory-confirmed infections was 78•6% [CI95% 74·8 - 81·7]; and for reducing hospitalizations and deaths was, respectively, 87·6% [CI95% 80·3 - 92·2] and 84·8% [CI95% 75·0 - 90·7]. Effectiveness was high across all subgroups. INTERPRETATION: Similarly to other vaccines, the administration of one dose of Gam-COVID-Vac was effective for a wide range of COVID-19-related outcomes. FUNDING: This study did not receive any funding.

RESUMO

RESUMEN INTRODUCCIÓN : La vacunación en la provincia de Buenos Aires inició con personal de salud (PS). El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar el impacto de la vacunación sobre la evolución de los casos de infección por SARS-CoV-2 en el PS, comparado con la de la población general (PG). MÉTODOS : Estudio obsewacional descriptivo de series temporales de casos confirmados de COVID-19, entre abril de 2020 y marzo de 2021. Se utilizó el sistema de información VacunatePBA y el SNVS. Se tomó el grado de inmunización a 14 días de la aplicación de la vacuna. RESULTADOS : A partir de septiembre de 2020, el número de casos disminuyó en el PS, en comparación con la PG. Para fines de febrero de 2021 estaba inmunizado con primera dosis (PD) el 42% del PS y con segunda dosis (SD) el 24%, mientras que en PG solo estaba inmunizado el 0,06% con PD y nadie SD. En marzo de 2021 mientras la cantidad de casos en PG (con 2% inmunizada) aumentó un 10% con respecto a febrero, en PS disminuyó un 35% (95% de esa población inmunizada). Esto indica una disminución significativa entre los nuevos casos de febrero y de marzo en PS (p <0,00001). DISCUSIÓN : A partir del inicio de la vacunación contra COVID-19 a finales de diciembre 2020, se muestra una disminución de casos nuevos de COVID-19 en PS. Este trabajo describe una disminución relativa de los casos en PS luego de la vacunación en la provincia de Buenos Aires y aporta los primeros datos del país sobre el impacto de las vacunas contra COVID-19.


ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION : The vaccination in the province of Buenos Aires has initiated with the health care workers (HCW). The present work aims to evaluate the impact of vaccination on the evolution of confirmed SARS- CoV2 cases in HCW compared to that of the general population (GP). METHODS : The study design is descriptive observational of series were developed confirmed cases, period April 2020 to March 2021. The Sistema Nacional de Vigilancia en Salud (SNVS), and VacunatePBA were used. The grade immunization was estimated at 14 days from the application of the first dose. RESULTS : As of September, the number of cases begins to decrease more sharply in HCW than in the general population. By February 2021, 42% of the HCW had been immunized with the first dose (FD) and 24% with the second dose (SD), while in GP only 0.06% had been immunized with FD and 0% of SD. In March, while the number of GP cases increased by 10% compared to February (only 2% immunized), HCW decreased by 35% (95% immunized). This indicates a significant decrease between the new cases of February and March in HCW (p-value <0.00001). DISCUSSION: Since the introduction of COVID-19 vaccines at the end of December in different countries, a decrease in new cases of COVID-19 in HCW has begun to be reported. The present work describes a relative decrease in HCW cases in a post-vaccination context in the province of Buenos Aires, providing the first data in the country on the impact of COVID-19 vaccines on HCW.

RESUMO

Sensor histidine kinases (SHKs) are an integral component of the molecular machinery that permits bacteria to adapt to widely changing environmental conditions. CpxA, an extensively studied SHK, is a multidomain homodimeric protein with each subunit consisting of a periplasmic sensor domain, a transmembrane domain, a signal-transducing HAMP domain, a dimerization and histidine phospho-acceptor sub-domain (DHp) and a catalytic and ATP-binding subdomain (CA). The key activation event involves the rearrangement of the HAMP-DHp helical core and translation of the CA towards the acceptor histidine, which presumably results in an autokinase-competent complex. In the present work we integrate coarse-grained, all-atom, and hybrid QM-MM computer simulations to probe the large-scale conformational reorganization that takes place from the inactive to the autokinase-competent state (conformational step), and evaluate its relation to the autokinase reaction itself (chemical step). Our results highlight a tight coupling between conformational and chemical steps, underscoring the advantage of CA walking along the DHp core, to favor a reactive tautomeric state of the phospho-acceptor histidine. The results not only represent an example of multiscale modelling, but also show how protein dynamics can promote catalysis.
