The aim of the present study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of galactosides modified lamivudine (LA) on hepatitis B virus (HBV) and examine the liver targeting ability of lamivudine modified by galactosides in vitro and in vivo (mice). Lamivudine nanoparicles modified by galactosides (LAP GSLN) were prepared and delivered into 2.2.15 cells. After 10 days, hepatitis virus B e antigen (HBeAg) expression in 2.2.15 cells was detected by ELISA, and immune fluorescence levels of HBV DNA in the medium were examined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The cytotoxicity of LAP GSLN on 2.2.15 cells was observed as well. In the in vivo experiment, ten male mice were randomly divided into 2 groups: lap GSLN group (i.v.injection of LAP GSLN) and LA group (i.v.injection of LA). Lamivudine levels in serum, hepatic, renal, pulmonary, and splenic tissues were detected by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP HPLC). On the 6th day, the expression of HBeAg was found inhibited by LPA GSLN. HBV DNA replication was also inhibited by LAP GSLN on the 4th day. Hepatic LAP GSLN concentrations in LAP GSLN group were 3.3 fold higher that of the LA group. The above results suggested galactosides modified lamivudine could effectively inhibit the antigen expression and DNA replication of HBV, and it showed a high liver targeting ability in vivo .

Objective: To investigate the relationship between serum levels of high sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) and the severity of coronary lesions in patients with stable coronary artery disease (SCAD). Methods: A total of 450 SCAD patients with coronary angiography (CAG) conifrmed diagnosis in our hospital were studied, and serum levels of hs-cTnT were examined at 3 days prior CAG in all patients. Based on tertiles of Gensini score, the patients were divided into 3 groups: Low score group,n=153 patients with Gensini score<14, Intermediate score group, n=145 patients with Gensini score at 14-28 and High score group,n=152 patients with Gensini score>28. The relationships between Gensini score and hs-cTnT levels were analyzed among 3 groups. The optimal cut-off value of hs-cTnT for predicting high Gensini score and the need of revascularization were studied by ROC curve, the relationships between hs-cTnT and high Gensini score, the need of revascularization were further detected by Logistic regression analysis. Results: The median values (25%-75%) of hs-cTnT in Low score group, Intermediate score group and High score group were 6.72 (4.20, 8.93) pg/ml, 7.90 (5.74, 12.68) pg/ml and 14.99 (10.26, 24.30) pg/ml respectively, allP<0.01. ROC curve analysis indicated that the area under curve (AUC) of hs-cTnT for predicting high Gensini score was 0.837 (95% CI 0.803-0.874), for the need of revascularization was 0.772 (95% CI 0.728-0.817); the best cut-off value of hs-TnT for predicting high Gensini score was 10.04 pg/ml and for the need of revascularization was 8.56 pg/ml. Logistic regression analysis suggested that with adjusted age, gender, the history of hypertension, diabetes, smoking, blood levels of creatinine, LDL-C and hs-CRP, hs-cTnT was still an independent predictor for high Gensini score (OR=1.13, 95% CI 1.06-1.20,P<0.001) and for the need of revascularization (OR=1.19, 95% CI 1.14-1.24,P<0.001). Conclusion: Serum level of hs-cTnT has been related to severity of coronary lesions in SCAD patients, hs-cTnT might be used as one of the pre-operative predictor for severe coronary disease and for the need of revascularization.

As a ligand-dependent transcription factor,retinoid-associated orphan receptor γt(RORyt)that controls T helper(Th)17 cell differentiation and interleukin(IL)-17 expression plays a critical role in the pro-gression of several inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.An emerging novel approach to the therapy of these diseases thus involves controlling the transcriptional capacity of RORyt to decrease Th17 cell development and IL-17 production.Several RORyt inhibitors including both antagonists and inverse agonists have been discovered to regulate the transcriptional activity of RORyt by binding to orthosteric-or allosteric-binding sites in the ligand-binding domain.Some of small-molecule inhibitors have entered clinical evaluations.Therefore,in current review,the role of RORyt in Th17 regulation and Th17-related inflammatory and autoimmune diseases was highlighted.Notably,the recently developed RORyt inhibitors were summarized,with an emphasis on their optimization from lead compounds,ef-ficacy,toxicity,mechanisms of action,and clinical trials.The limitations of current development in this area were also discussed to facilitate future research.

Objective:To study the real-world outcome of China FDA-approved Sofosbuvir (SOF)/Velpatasvir (VEL) in Northwest China.Methods:In this multicenter, prospective, real-world cohort study, we recruited patients from 10 sites from Northwest China, who were chronically infected with HCV GTs 1-6 from 06/2018 to 09/2019. Patients received SOF (400mg)/VEL (100mg) for 12 weeks, and with ribavirin 900-1200 mg for GT3 cirrhosis and for any genotype decompensated cirrhosis. The primary endpoint was sustained virological response at 12-weeks post-treatment (SVR12) and safety. The secondary endpoint was the change of liver function after the achievement of SVR12.Results:Totally, 143 patients were enrolled in the study, four patients were lost to follow-up and one died during the follow-up, 138 patients were included in per-protocol analysis. Of the 138 patients, the mean age 53 years, 53.6% male, 94.2% Han nationality, 53.6% liver cirrhosis, 10.1% HBsAg +, 6.5% renal dysfunction, 5.1% treatment-experienced, and 16.7% patients received ribavirin treatment. The genotype distribution was as follows: 35.5% GT1, 42.8% GT2, 15.9% GT3, and 5.8% un-typed. The SVR12 rate was 96.5% (138/143, 95% CI: 93.5%-99.6%) for intention-to-treat analysis, and in per-protocol analysis, all 138 patients obtained SVR12 (100%). Compared with baseline, the serum total bilirubin, ALT and AFP levels decreased (all P < 0.05), as well as increased ALB and platelet count (all P < 0.001) at post-treatment 12-weeks. Overall adverse events (AEs) rate is 29.0%, and the most common AEs were anemia (14.5%) and fatigue (8.0%). Severe side effects (edema and fatigue) occurred in 2 patients, one of whom needed a short-term interruption of treatment due to fatigue. Conclusion:In this real-world cohort study, 12-week SOF/VEL regimen with or without ribavirin achieved high SVR12 rates (96.5%-100% overall) with excellent safety profile among patients with HCV GT1/2/3 infection including patients with GT3 and cirrhosis, and led to improvement of liver function.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical course and explore the risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 RNA negative conversion duration (NCD) in asymptomatic and mild-symptomatic patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant. MethodsClinical data were collected from 244 confirmed cases of corona virus disease (COVID-19) with Omicron variant infection admitted to a temporal makeshift hospital in Shanghai from April 9, 2022 to May 20, 2022. Demographic and clinical data were analyzed, with a primary focus on the time of COVID-19 nucleic acid conversion. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to determine identify risk factors associated with NCD. ResultsThe median duration of negative RNA conversion was 9 days (ranged 7‒12 days). The percentage of patients with positive nucleic acid results on the 5th, 7th, 10th, and 14th days after confirmed infection was 68.4%, 47.1%, 20.1%, and 5.7%, respectively. Kaplan-Meier curves indicated a median nucleic acid conversion time of 12 days (ranged 10‒14 days) for patients with hypertension, 9 days (ranged 7‒11 days) in patients without hypertension, and 11 days (ranged 9‒13 days) for patients aged ≥60 years, and 9 days (ranged 7‒11 days) for patients aged <60 years. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that only hypertension was an independent risk factor of NCD (RR=1.60; 95% CI: 1.03‒2.49, P=0.036). ConclusionIn asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic patients infected with the Omicron variant, 20.1% patients continue to exhibit positive viral nucleic acid on the 10th days of infection. The independent risk factor associated with the conversion of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid to negative is hypertension.
