Recombinant Fl-V (rFl-V) fusion protein is the main ingredient of the current candidate vaccine against Yersinia pestis infection, which has been under investigation in clinical trial in USA. We investigated the soluble expression conditions of rF1-V in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) that we constructed before. After scale-up and optimization of fermentation processes, we got the optimized fermentation process parameters: the culture was induced at the middle exponential phase with 50 µmol/L of IPTG at 25 °C for 5 h. Soluble rFl-V protein was isolated to 99% purity by ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion exchange chromatography, hydrophobic chromatography and gel filter chromatography. The protein recovery was above 20%. Protein identity and primary structure were verified by mass spectrometry and Edman sequencing. Results of purity, quality and western blotting analysis indicated that the target protein is a consistent and properly folded product. Furthermore, the immunogenicity of various antigens formulated with aluminum hydroxide adjuvant was evaluated in mice. Serum antibody titers of 4 groups including 20 µg rFl, rV and rFl-V and 10 µg rFl+10 µg rV, were assayed by ELISA after 2 doses. The antibody titers of anti-Fl with 20 µg rFl-V were obviously higher than titers with other groups; meanwhile there were no significant difference of anti-V antibody titers among them. These findings confirm that rFl-V would be the active pharmaceutical ingredient of the plague subunit vaccine.

Objective To explore the relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)and serum stromal cell derived factor-1(SDF-1)levels. Methods A community-based epidemiological field study for T2DM patients and non-T2DM subjects was conducted in Beijing,China. Every subject underwent physical examinations, biochemical tests of stromal cell derived factor 1 and so on,and completed a standardized questionnaire. A total of 756 subjects were recruited in our analysis ,including 267 T2DM patients and 489 non-T2DM subjects ,T2DM patients were further divided into 81 simple T2DM patients and 186 macrovascular complication patients on the basis of the status of macrovascular complication. The correlation between serum SDF-1 levels and T2DM was analyzed. Results Compared with non-T2DM group,the level of SDF-1 in T2DM group was higher(P=0.019). The level of SDF-1 in simple T2DM group was also higher than macrovascular complication group(P=0.044). In the multi-ple linear regression analysis,after adjustment for age,gender,smoking,drinking,dyslipidemia,hypertension and BMI,SDF-1 level in simple T2DM group was higher than macrovascular complication group(P = 0.049), still. Conclusions Simple T2DM patients had a higher serum SDF-1 level than T2DM patients with macrovascular complications as well as those who did not suffer T2DM,suggesting that the stromal cell derived factor-1 may play a certain role in the development of T2DM and macrovascular complications.

Objective To evaluate the current deployment of general practitioners and residents′utilization of services in China, for reference of their optimal allocation across the country. Methods The methods of HRDI and TOPSIS were used to comprehensively evaluate their deployment and residents′utilization of their services in China. Results General practitioners fall short of demand in general, averaging 0.137 1 GP per 1 000 population in China, with unbalanced regional distribution as well. Utilization of residents of general practitioners service remains at a low level, with unbalanced regional distribution as well. As shown in the comprehensive evaluation results, 87.10% of the regions were found with defective deployment and service utilization, featuring " low resources, low utilization" . Conclusions Sizable gapes are found between the eastern, the central and the western regions, in terms of allocation of resources and service utilization. The government should rationalize deployment of general practitioners and minimize such gaps among different regions, in view of local population, geography and health service needs.

Hepatic cholesterol accumulation is an important contributor to hypercholesterolemia, which results in atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD). ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY) is a key lipogenic enzyme that converts cytosolic citrate derived from tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle) to acetyl-CoA in the cytoplasm. Therefore, ACLY represents a link between mitochondria oxidative phosphorylation and cytosolic de novo lipogenesis. In this study, we developed the small molecule 326E with an enedioic acid structural moiety as a novel ACLY inhibitor, and its CoA-conjugated form 326E-CoA inhibited ACLY activity with an IC50 = 5.31 ± 1.2 μmol/L in vitro. 326E treatment reduced de novo lipogenesis, and increased cholesterol efflux in vitro and in vivo. 326E was rapidly absorbed after oral administration, exhibited a higher blood exposure than that of the approved ACLY inhibitor bempedoic acid (BA) used for hypercholesterolemia. Chronic 326E treatment in hamsters and rhesus monkeys resulted in remarkable improvement of hyperlipidemia. Once daily oral administration of 326E for 24 weeks prevented the occurrence of atherosclerosis in ApoE-/- mice to a greater extent than that of BA treatment. Taken together, our data suggest that inhibition of ACLY by 326E represents a promising strategy for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia.

The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a group of rare hereditary connective tissue disorders characterized by joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and tissue fragility. The clinical and genetic hetero- geneity of EDS frequently leads to underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis. Genetic testing is an essential approach to clarify the underlying diagnosis. Recent research has preliminarily established genotype-phenotype correlations and introduced the novel concept of " disease spectrum" in some subtypes. These studies deepen our understanding of EDS etiology and provide important insights into clinical management. Published in 2023, the
