Abstract: Objective To investigate the dynamic changes and clinical significance of specific antibodies in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods A retrospective study was conducted to collect 141 adult COVID-19 survivors who were followed up in the Eighth Hospital affiliated to Guangzhou Medical University from February 6, 2020, to March 24, 2021. The patients were divided into severe group (severe and critical) and non-severe group (light and ordinary) according to the diagnosis at discharge. The antibody changes of the two groups were compared and analyzed at 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after discharge. Results After discharge from hospital, the positive rate of IgG in the severe group was 95.00% after 1 week and 100.00% in the following year, in the positive rate of IgG in the non-severe group was 59.50% after 1 week, 90.08% in 6 months and 76.03% in one year. The level of serum IgG in the severe group was significantly higher than that in non-severe group (Z=-2.441, P=0.015). One-year follow-up: the serum IgG in the severe group was significantly higher than that in the non-severe group (Z=-3.410, P=0.001). The serum IgM level of the severe group after one year follow-up was lower than that of the six months follow-up, the difference was statistically significant (Z=-2.259, P=0.024). The serum IgG and IgM level of the non-severe group after one year follow-up was lower than that of the six months follow-up, the difference was statistically significant (Z=-7.37, P<0.01; Z=3.850, P<0.01). Conclusion The level of serum protective antibody in COVID-19 patients remained high within 6 months after discharge, and remained stable within 1 year after discharge. The antibody titers in the severe group were significantly higher than those in the non-severe group and lasted for at least one year. COVID-19 survivors receive 1 year of natural immune protection, and patients with critical conditions receive immunity for longer periods of time.

Objective To explore the effects and the mechanism of manumycin on KAT-18 cells Methods Human ATC (anaplastic thyroid cancer) KAT-18 cells were used. The cytotoxicity was analyzed by SRB assay. Apoptosis and cellular nitric oxide were detected by flow cytometry using annexin v and NO sensor dye. Superoxide anion was measured with a fluorescent plate reader by DHE.GSH was assayed by fluorescent Monochlorobimane. The SOD activities were assayed by colorimetric methods. The protein expression of Mn-SOD was determined by western blot. Results Manumycin decreased the viability of KAT-18 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Manumycin induced apoptosis significantly and NO generation simultaneously. Manumycin also induced superoxide anions generation. Manumycin reduced intracellular GSH in a time-course manner. However , manumycin did not decrease the SOD activity after 6 h treatment and Mn-SOD expression. A delayed induction of SOD activity was observed after 24 h manumycin treatment. N-acetyl-L-cysteine blocked NO and superoxide anions generation and apoptosis induction by Manumycin. Furthermore , NAC protected KAT-18 cells from the cytotoxicity of manumycin. Conclusion Manumycin induces apoptosis and has cytotoxic effects on KAT-18 cells. Cellular NO and superoxide anions generation are required for Manumycin-induced apoptosis in KAT-18 cells.
