To construct a recombinant expression system for a single-domain antibody targeting the urease of Helicobacter pylori (Hp), this study employed several strategies. First, using artificial intelligence (AI) auxiliary tools such as Pymol, I-TASSER, and ClussPro2, the molecular interactions between different antibodies and Hp urease subunit B (UreB) were analyzed. The fully humanized single-domain antibody UreBAb was identified as the primary research target. Next, the UreBAb gene sequence was optimized based on Escherichia coli codon preferences, and was inserted into expression vectors such as pET28a and pE-SUMO. The resulting recombinant expression strains were obtained by transforming Escherichia coli Rosetta(DE3). Recombinant antibody proteins were prepared through IPTG induction, and its activity was detected using extracted Hp urease as the antigen. SDS-PAGE analysis confirmed the correct expression of both UreBAb and SUMO-UreBAb, with protein yields of 0.34 mg/mL and 0.41 mg/mL, respectively. Unidirectional immunodiffusion experiments further confirmed that both recombinant antibodies exhibited strong affinity for Hp UreB antigen, with inhibition rates of 51.27% and 74.07%, respectively. Additionally, leveraging artificial intelligence tools such as AlphaFold2, cluspro2, mCSM-AB, OSPREY, and FoldX, the study evaluated and analyzed key binding sites and mutational strategies affecting the stability of the antigen-antibody complex. Subsequently, nine UreBAb evolution mutants were constructed, and their binding activities with the antigen were enhanced. Among these, the I107W mutant showed the most significant improvement, achieving a 24.95% increase compared to the wild-type UreBAb. This research lays a solid foundation for the development of fully humanized single-domain antibodies against Hp.

Objective To investigate the association of PR gene exon 5 region H770H (rs1042839) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with the genetic susceptibility to endometriosis (EM) in southern Han Chinese women. Methods Totally 431 EM patients and 499 non-EM women were collected and separated into EM group and control group, that all cases were confirmed by operation and pathology. A case-control study was performed in EM and control groups to evaluate the association of these SNP with the susceptibility to EM by using a fluorescent quantitative PCR-based high resolution melting (HRM) method. Results The C and T of PR H770H allele frequencies among the EM and control groups were 97.9%(844/862), 2.1% (18/862) and 99.4% (992/998), 0.6% (6/998), respectively. The CC, CT and TT of PR H770H genotype frequencies among the EM and control groups were 95.8%(413/431), 4.2%(18/431), 0 and 98.8%(493/499), 1.2%(6/499), 0, respectively. There were statistical significances in the PR H770H alleles and genotypes distributions between the two groups (χ2=7.386, P=0.007;χ2=8.135, P=0.004). Carrying allele C reduced the risk of EM (OR=0.986, 95%CI: 0.976-0.996), while carrying allele T enhanced the risk of EM (OR=3.319, 95%CI: 1.323-8.325); carrying genotype CC reduced the risk of EM 0.970 time (OR=0.970, 95%CI: 0.949-0.991), whereas carrying genotype CT enhanced the risk of EM 3.473 times (OR=3.473, 95%CI:1.391-8.671). Conclusion There is significant association between the polymorphism of PR H770H and genetic susceptibility to EM in southern Han Chinese women.

2,6-dimethylbenzenamine was determined as a genotoxic impurity in lidocaine hydrochloride injection, and 2-chloro-N-(2,6- dimethylphenyl) acetamide was determined as potential genotoxic impurity. An LC-MS/MS method was established to research the profiling of genotoxic impurities in active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), homemade preparation and reference preparation on column Agilent ZORBAX Eclipse Plus C18(4.6 mm250 mm,5 μm). The results show that in the homemade preparation the 2,6-dimethylbenzenamine and the 2-chloro-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl) acetamide may be degraded under oxidation condition and alkaline condition in addition to the introduction from API preparation process. This study provides guidance for genotoxic risk assessment and prescription process optimization of lidocaine hydrochloride.

Objective:To have a better understanding of congenital leukemia by summarizing its clinical features and prognosis.Methods:This study retrospectively recruited 10 neonates with congenital leukemia treated in Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2006 to December 2018. Clinical data including clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, treatment and follow-up were described.Results:The 10 patients consisted of six boys and four girls. In all cases, symptoms presented within 11 d after birth. The admission complaints were jaundice ( n=4), polypnea ( n=3), fever ( n=2) and rash ( n=2). Physical examinations of the 10 patients showed eight with splenomegaly, seven with hepatomegaly and seven with petechia/skin rash. All patients had significantly increased white blood cell count (from 45.8×10 9/L to 553.0×10 9/L), complicated by different degrees of anemia and thrombocytopenia. By bone marrow biopsy, two cases were diagnosed as acute lymphoblastic leukemia and the other eight cases as acute myeloid leukemia. All cases refused chemotherapy on the preliminary diagnosis. Three cases lost follow-up and six died within two months after discharge requested by their parents. One baby had spontaneous remission, but relapsed two years later. Complete remission was achieved after strict management and no relapse was reported until ten years old. Conclusions:Congenital leukemia is a severe condition with high mortality. Some cases may achieve spontaneous remission, but long-term follow-up is needed.
