RESUMEN
Objective: To evaluate the immunogenicity, safety, and immune persistence of the sequential booster with the recombinant protein-based COVID-19 vaccine (CHO cell) in healthy people aged 18-84 years. Methods: An open-label, multi-center trial was conducted in October 2021. The eligible healthy individuals, aged 18-84 years who had completed primary immunization with the inactivated COVID-19 vaccine 3 to 9 months before, were recruited from Shangyu district of Shaoxing and Kaihua county of Quzhou, Zhejiang province. All participants were divided into three groups based on the differences in prime-boost intervals: Group A (3-4 months), Group B (5-6 months) and Group C (7-9 months), with 320 persons per group. All participants received the recombinant COVID-19 vaccine (CHO cell). Blood samples were collected before the vaccination and after receiving the booster at 14 days, 30 days, and 180 days for analysis of GMTs, antibody positivity rates, and seroconversion rates. All adverse events were collected within one month and serious adverse events were collected within six months. The incidences of adverse reactions were analyzed after the booster. Results: The age of 960 participants was (52.3±11.5) years old, and 47.4% were males (455). The GMTs of Groups B and C were 65.26 (54.51-78.12) and 60.97 (50.61-73.45) at 14 days after the booster, both higher than Group A's 44.79 (36.94-54.30) (P value<0.05). The GMTs of Groups B and C were 23.95 (20.18-28.42) and 27.98 (23.45-33.39) at 30 days after the booster, both higher than Group A's 15.71 (13.24-18.63) (P value <0.05). At 14 days after the booster, the antibody positivity rates in Groups A, B, and C were 91.69% (276/301), 94.38% (302/320), and 93.95% (295/314), respectively. The seroconversion rates in the three groups were 90.37% (272/301), 93.75% (300/320), and 93.31% (293/314), respectively. There was no significant difference among these rates in the three groups (all P values >0.05). At 30 days after the booster, antibody positivity rates in Groups A, B, and C were 79.60% (238/299), 87.74% (279/318), and 90.48% (285/315), respectively. The seroconversion rates in the three groups were 76.92% (230/299), 85.85% (273/318), and 88.25% (278/315), respectively. There was a significant difference among these rates in the three groups (all P values <0.001). During the sequential booster immunization, the incidence of adverse events in 960 participants was 15.31% (147/960), with rates of about 14.38% (46/320), 17.50% (56/320), and 14.06% (45/320) in Groups A, B, and C, respectively. The incidence of adverse reactions was 8.02% (77/960), with rates of about 7.50% (24/320), 6.88% (22/320), and 9.69% (31/320) in Groups A, B, and C, respectively. No serious adverse events related to the booster were reported. Conclusion: Healthy individuals aged 18-84 years, who had completed primary immunization with the inactivated COVID-19 vaccine 3 to 9 months before, have good immunogenicity and safety profiles following the sequential booster with the recombinant COVID-19 vaccine (CHO cell).

The evaluation of coronary artery ischemia is of great significance in the diagnosis and treatment of coronary heart disease. In recent years, fractional flow reserve derived from computed tomographic angiography (FFRct) has been used to evaluate the diagnosis of coronary artery specific ischemia, which enriches the clinical management of patients with coronary artery disease. A number of studies have confirmed that FFRct has reliable diagnostic performance compared with invasive fraction flow reserve (FFR). Because of its non-invasive, repeatable measurement and other advantages, the application universality of FFRct is significantly higher than that of invasive examination. At the same time, the application scope of FFRct is also continuously expanding, and it is not limited to its position as a "gatekeeper" for invasive coronary angiography. It has good accuracy in the diagnosis of complex coronary artery disease, and can also be used to guide the choice of surgical strategies such as coronary artery bypass grafting and stent implantation.

Objective To study the expression level of cathepsin S in elderly patients with different degree of coronary heart disease(CHD),and to evaluate the correlation between cathepsin S level and the severity of CHD.Methods A total of 126 elderly patients with CHD were enrolled,including 36 cases with acute myocardial infarction(group AMI),48 cases with unstable angina(group UAP),and 42 cases with stable angina(group SAP).During the same period,40 healthy subjects were selected as controls.Venous blood was collected immediately after admission.Arterial blood was taken through radial/femoral artery sheath in AMI patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention,and coronary arterial blood was taken in AMI patients undergoing intracoronary thrombus aspiration.SYNTAX score was assessed in patients undergoing coronary angiography.Serum levels of high sensitivity C reactive protein(hs-CRP),matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and cathepsin S were determined in all specimens and compared between groups.Results Serum levels of cathepsin S,MMP-9 and hs-CRP were higher in CHD patients than in the control group(P<0.05).Among CHD patients,group AMI had the highest serum levels of cathepsin S,MMP-9 and hs-CRP,followed by group UAP and group SAP(F =106.830,197.035 and 310.442,all P =0.000).Spearman's rank correlation test suggested that cathepsin S level was positively correlated with serum levels of MMP-9 (r=0.816,P =0.000)and hs-CRP(r =0.827,P =0.000).SYNTAX score was positively correlated with serum levels of cathepsin S(r=0.581,P=0.000),MMP-9(r=0.511,P=0.000),and hs-CRP (r=0.557,P =0.000).Among the 24 patients with AMI who underwent intracoronary thrombus aspiration,the levels of cathepsin S,MMP-9 and hs-CRP were higher in coronary artery blood than in peripheral artery blood (t =217.288,3.177 and 681.479,all P =0.000).Cathepsin S and hs-CRP levels in peripheral arterial blood had positive correlations with those in coronary arterial blood respectively(r =0.962 and 0.494,P =0.000 and 0.014),but such correlation between in peripheral arterial blood versus in coronary artery blood was not found in MMP-9 levels (r =-0.188,P =0.380).Conclusions Serum cathepsin S level is higher in elderly CHD patients than in healthy people,increases along with the increased severity of CHD,and positively correlates with the degree of coronary stenosis.
RESUMEN
Three Chrysanthemum-chalcone-isomerase genes( CmCHI) were successfully cloned by PCR from the database of Chrysanthemum transcriptome and named CmCHI1,CmCHI2 and CmCHI3,respectively. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the base numbers of CmCHI1-3 open reading frame were 708,633 and 681 bp,encoding 235,210 and 226 amino acids,respectively. Three fusion proteins of about 30 kDa were successfully induced by prokaryotic expression technology,and the corresponding recombinant fusion proteins were isolated and purified by Ni-NTA resin column. Clustering analysis showed that the 3 CmCHI were homologous with Compositae plants,and CmCHI1 and CmCHI3 belonged to type Ⅰ CHI. CmCHI2 belongs to type Ⅳ CHI. Using β-actin as an internal reference gene,RT-qPCR was used to detect and analyze the expression of CmCHI1-3 genes in Hangju. The results showed that the expression levels of CmCHI1 and CmCHI3 were higher,while the expression levels of CmCHI2 were lower. It was concluded that CmCHI1 and CmCHI3 were the main chalcone isomerase genes involved in the synthesis of flavonoids in Hangju,and CmCHI2 was a helper gene. Flooding treatment significantly promoted the expression of CmCHI1 and CmCHI3 genes,but had no regulatory effect on CmCHI2. The above results provided a basis for further study of the molecular regulation mechanism of CHI gene in the metabolism of flavonoids in Hangju,which laid a foundation for improving the content of flavonoids in Hangju and finally improving the medicinal quality of Hangju.

RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in differential diagnosis between the adult reversible splenial lesion syndrome (RESLES) and ischemic infarction of the splenium of the corpus callosum (SCC). Methods The MRI findings and clinical data of 7 RESLES patients and 13 patients with ischemic infarction of SCC who were clinically diagnosed and treated in our center from May 2015 to June 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. The main MRI findings included location,morphology,signal intensity,maximum cross-sectional area,diffusion weighted imaging (DWI),and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value. Results On the MRI findings of 7 RESLES patients (5 males and 2 females),the centers of all lesions of the SCC were located in the midline of SCC,the lesion shapes were round,ellipse,or spindle,and the distribution of the lesions was bilateral and symmetric as the center of the midline of SCC. The lesions were hyperintense on DWI,and the mean maximum cross-sectional area of lesions was (56.9±32.6) mm and the mean ADC value was (0.3963±0.0715) ×10 mm/s. On the review MRI,all the lesions disappeared (mean interval:10 days). On the MRI findings of 13 patients with ischemic infarction of SCC (10 males and 3 females),the lesions were irregular or patchy in shape and were almost laterally and asymmetrically distributed. The lesions were hyperintense on DWI,and the mean maximum cross-sectional area was (55.1±43.9) mm and the mean ADC value was (0.4978±0.0123) ×10 mm/s. The mean maximum cross-sectional area (t=0.096,P=0.925) and the ADC value (t=-1.988,P=0.062) were not significantly different between RESLES group and ischemic infarction of SCC group. Conclusions The location,morphology,and distribution of the SCC lesions and the co-existence of other lesions in the brain are helpful for the differential diagnosis between RESLES and ischemic infarction of SCC. However,the mean maximum cross-sectional area and the ADC value show no obvious difference between these two diseases.

RESUMEN
The effects of harvest and different processing methods on the anti-thrombin activity of Poecilobdella manillensis were respectively studied. The indicators included processing methods (vacuum freeze drying, fresh homogenate, drying under sunlight, freezing, scalding, baking under different temperatures), different parts (entire body, cephalon, pygidium, exudate) and body weights (≤10, 10-20, 20-30, 30-40, ≥40 g). The anti-thrombin activities of P. manillensis with different processing methods were evaluated by direct anti-thrombin titration. The results indicated that the processing methods significantly affected the anti-thrombin activities of P. manillensis. Among the 11 groups, the anti-thrombin activity of P. manillensis processed with vacuum freeze drying (1 303.56 U•g⁻¹) was significantly highest than the other groups (P<0.05), and that processed with baking under 90 ℃ (15.44 U•g⁻¹) was the lowest. The anti-thrombin activity of the cephalon of P. manillensis (226.42 U•g⁻¹) was the highest, and that of the pygidium (102.12 U•g⁻¹) was lowest; the anti-thrombin activities for different body weights were significantly different (P<0.05); and among the five groups, the body weight of ≤10 g (328.86 U•g⁻¹) was the highest (P<0.05), and the body weight of ≥40 g (87.71 U•g⁻¹) was the lowest. In conclusion, harvest and different processing methods had a significant impact on the anti-thrombin activities of P. manillensis. In the study, for the optimal processing method for P. manillensis, the body weight between 20-30 g is recommended, and the vacuum freeze drying is preferred, which is followed by the drying under sunlight.

Methods Dopamine D1 receptor gene (DRD1) knockout mice and dopamine D3 receptor (DRD3) gene knockout mice were introduced, and double gene knockout mice were bred in our lab.Seven SPF male mice in each group were used in this experiment.The food intake, water intake, body weight gain for 24 hours were tested on the age of 30 d, 50 d, and 70 d and were compared with those of wild type mice.Results DRD1 gene and DRD3 gene showed significant effect on the body weight in mice in age of 21 day and 35 day, but at the age of 90 day, the differences became insignificant among the mice of various genetypes.Conclusions Dopamine may effect on the foraging and satiety in newborn mice through regulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal ( HPA ) axis activity, and finally leads to a reduced body weight gain in newborn mice and puppies during lactation.Furthermore, DRD1 gene and DRD3 gene may influence on body weight of newborn mice through regulating mothers’ lactation, lead to a lower body weight at ablactation, and compensatory increase of body weight after ablactation.Our results provide a substantial foundation for studying the function and interaction of DRD1 and DRD3 genes.
RESUMEN
The effect of sterilization methods on biological activity of fibronectin on the surface of biomaterials was elaborated in the present study. Sterile protein- modified biomaterials were fabricated by microfilter filtration and UV irradiation, respectively. UV irradiation altered the conformation of surface- adsorbed fibronectin and further affected the attachment, morphology and biological function of endothelial cells. However, microfilter filtration did not to change the normal conformation of fibronectin, or the proliferation and biological function of endothelial cells, indicating that microfilter filtration sterilization is the most suitable method for protein-substrate.

Objective To understand the awareness status of diabetic nephropathy( DN)and its influence factors among diabetes patients. Methods A total of 1236 cases of diabetes were investigated on the awareness of DN and Logistic regression was used to analyze its influence factors. Results The awareness rate of DN was 77. 67% and its influence factors were age,education level,monthly household income and available diabetic health education( OR=1. 15,1. 80, 1. 41and 0. 98 respectively,all P< 0. 05). Moreover,the awareness status of DN prevention was at a low level. Among the 9 methods to prevent DN,only had 4 methods the awareness rate of which was over 80%. Conclusion Health education on DN control and prevention among diabetes patients should be emphasized.
