ZnO nanoparticles ( ZnO NPs ) were obtained by a direct precipitation method. With the as-prepared ZnO NPs as seeds, Au/ZnO heterostructure was synthesized by seed-mediated growth method without any surfactant, and the diameters of ZnO NPs and Au NPs were about 50 nm and 10 nm, respectively. Then ionic liquids (ILs), trihexyltetradecylphosphonium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide ([P(C6)3C14] [ Tf2 N] ) , and functionalized graphene ( GN ) were prepared under room temperature. The ILs as bridges could connect Au/ZnO heterostructure to form a new kind of graphene nanocomposite, Au/ZnO/GN. Then the penicillinase and hematein were immobilized on Au/ZnO/GN. And the biosensors based on penicillinase-hematein-Au/ZnO/GN (PH-AZG) were used for detecting penicillin G. In PBS buffer solution (pH 7. 0), PH-AZG exhibited a detection range from 2 . 5 × 10-14 to 3 . 3 × 10-6 mol/L with a detection limit of 1 . 5 × 10-14 mol/L (S/N≥3). Five PH-AZG electrodes were prepared with the same conditions, and the RSDs for their current response were less than 3. 2%. Furthermore, the standard curves were linear in the range of 5× 10-14-5×10-7 mol/L for milk. The average recoveries were 99. 7%-101. 4% with RSDs of 2. 3%-3. 5%(n=5). The method is sensitive and repeatable, and can be applied to the field of residue analysis about penicillins G with low concentration levels.

Objective:To investigate the difference and characteristics of autoantibodies expression in patients infected by 2019-nCoV with various severity, and explore the associations between expression profile of autoantibodies and prognosis of COVID-19 patients.Methods:This retrospective study was conducted on patients with COVID-19 admitted to Zhongnan Hospital, Wuhan University from January 30, 2020 to March 16, 2020. Data on medical records, expression of autoantibodies including antinuclear antibody profile (ANA), anticardiolipin antibody (ACA), inflammatory factor and other laboratory indexes were collected and analyzed. The age and sex matched disease controls (cases of pulmonary infection unrelated to 2019-nCoV infection and autoimmune disease) and healthy controls (healthy check-up individuals) were also included. Following groups were established, ANA test groups: 72 cases of COVID-19 group (including 17 critical and severe cases, and 55 mild cases), 37 disease controls and 44 healthy controls; ACA test groups: 111 cases of COVID-19 group (including 37 critical and severe cases, and 74 mild cases), 37 disease controls and 40 healthy controls. The difference of positive rate or expression level of autoantibodies among various groups was analyzed, and the difference of inflammatory biomarkers and other parameters were compared between patients with ANA positive results and negative results. The Spearman correlation test was applied to determine the relationship between ACA and other parameters. Kaplan-Meier estimation was used to plot survival curves, the log-rank analysis was utilized to explore the association between antibodies and outcome of COVID-19 patients.Results:The positive rate of antibodies was significantly higher in the COVID-19 group than disease and healthy control groups, the ANA fluorescence: 22.22% (16/72), 5.41% (2/37), 6.82% (3/44); ANA spectrum:26.39% (19/72), 8.11% (3/37), 9.09% (4/44); and ACA:37.84% (42/111), 8.11% (3/37), 5.00% (2/40); all P<0.05. The positive rate of ANA, ACA-IgM and the expression level of ACA-IgM were significantly higher in severe COVID-19 subgroups (critically and severe COVID-19 patients) than in the mild COVID-19 patients (the ANA fluorescence: 47.06% [8/17] vs. 14.55% [8/55], ANA spectrum:66.67% [9/17] vs. 18.18% [10/55], ACA-IgM:30.43% [10/37] vs. 9.46% [7/74]; all P<0.05). There were significant differences in the number of red blood cells, hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit, activated partial thromboplastin time, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6 and serum amyloid A between COVID-19 ANA-positive group and COVID-19 ANA-negative group (all P<0.05). The level of ACA-IgM was positively correlated with white blood cell count ( r=0.354, P<0.001), neutrophil count ( r=0.344, P<0.001), platelet count ( r=0.198, P=0.038), D-Dimer ( r=0.260, P=0.009), glutamic-pyruvic transaminase ( r=0.214, P=0.024), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase ( r=0.283, P=0.003), blood urea nitrogen ( r=0.223, P=0.019), and negatively correlated with superoxide dismutase ( r=-0.228, P=0.020). Survival analysis showed that cumulative survival rate of event-free survival (EFS) was lower in patients with positive ANA/ACA-IgM results than in patients with negative ANA/ACA-IgM results ( P<0.05). Conclusions:ANA and ACA autoantibodies can be detected in COVID-19 patients. The positive rate and the expression level of ANA and ACA increase in proportion with the severity of COVID-19 patients. ANA and ACA-IgM could be used as risk stratification determinants for predicting survival of COVID-19 patients.

Objective To monitor the antifungal resistance of clinical isolates of Candida spp.in the East China region.Methods MALDI-TOF MS or molecular methods were used to re-identify the strains collected from January 2018 to December 2022.Antifungal susceptibility testing was performed using the broth microdilution method.The susceptibility test results were interpreted according to the breakpoints of 2022 Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)documents M27 M44s-Ed3 and M57s-Ed4.Results A total of 3 026 strains of Candida were collected,65.33％of which were isolated from sterile body sites,mainly from blood(38.86％)and pleural effusion/ascites(10.21％).The predominant species of Candida were Candida albicans(44.51％),followed by Candida parapsilosis complex(19.46％),Candida tropicalis(13.98％),Candida glabrata(10.34％),and other Candida species(0.79％).Candida albicans showed overall high susceptibility rates to the 10 antifungal drugs tested(the lowest rate being 93.62％).Only 2.97％of the strains showed dose-dependent susceptibility(SDD)to fluconazole.Candida parapsilosis complex had a SDD rate of 2.61％and a resistance rate of 9.42％to fluconazole,and susceptibility rates above 90％to other drugs.Candida glabrata had a SDD rate of 92.01％and a resistance rate of 7.99％to fluconazole,resistance rates of 32.27％and 48.24％to posaconazole and voriconazole non-wild-type strains(NWT),respectively,and susceptibility rates above 90％to other drugs.Candida tropicalis had resistance rates of 29.55％and 26.24％to fluconazole and voriconazole,respectively,resistance rates of 76.60％and 21.99％to posaconazole and echinocandins non-wild-type strains(NWT),and a resistance rate of 2.36％to echinocandins.Conclusions The prevalence and species distribution of Candida spp.in the East China region are consistent with previous domestic and international reports.Candida glabrata exhibits certain degree of resistance to fluconazole,while Candida tropicalis demonstrates higher resistance to triazole drugs.Additionally,echinocandins resistance has emerged in Candida albicans,Candida glabrata,Candida tropicalis,and Candida parapsilosis.

OBJECTIVE： To study in vitro metabolism pathway of effective component of Bletilla striata as Militarine in liver microsomes and kinetics characteristics of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. METHODS： The in vitro incubation system of rat and human liver microsomes was established， and incubation reaction of Militarine was performed. UPLC-QTOF-MS was used to identify the structure of its metabolites in combination with UNIFI database and references. Using puerarin as internal standard， UPLC-Triple Quad-MS was used to quantitatively analyze metabolic transformation of Militarine in rat liver microsomes. The kinetic parameters （vmax， km， CLint） of Militarine enzyme-catalyzed reactions with/without reducing coenzyme Ⅱ （NADPH） were calculated by fitting the curves with GraphPad Prism 5.0 software. RESULTS： After incubation in rat and human liver microsomes， Militarine produced a chemical formula C21H29O11， which was presumed to be a metabolite of Militarine ester bond hydrolysis. The kinetic study of enzyme-catalyzed reactions showed that vmax of Militarine enzyme-catalyzed reactions with/without NADPH were 1.955， 2.129 nmol/（h·mg）； km were 8.601， 9.854 nmol/mL； CLint were 0.227 3， 0.216 1 mL/（h·mg）； there was no significant difference between with NADPH and without NADPH. CONCLUSIONS： The main metabolic pathway of Militarine in liver microsomes is the hydrolysis of C1 and C4 ester bonds. Its metabolism does not depend on the pathway of cytochrome P450 enzymes initiated by NADPH.

OBJECTIVE To explore the improvement effect of rape pollen on androgenic alopecia mice and its mechanism. METHODS The blank group, model group, positive drug group and administration group were set up, the androgenic alopecia mice model was induced by applying 0.2% testosterone after hair removal. The hair growth rate of mice were observed by using 5% minoxidil as positive drug and 0.4 g·mL-1 rape pollen oil solution as administration group. The hair quality and follicle condition of mice were observed by scanning electron microscope(SEM) and HE staining of skin tissue, respectively. The level of VEGF and bFGF in skin were detected by immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting, while the level of serum sex hormones and reactive oxygen species were detected by ELISA. RESULTS Rape pollen could significantly promote the hair growth in mice and improve the state of mice hair scales compared with model group. Mechanism exploration experiments showed that rape pollen could not promote hair regeneration of mice by regulating hormone levels or anti-oxidative stress. However, rape pollen could increase the expression of bFGF and VEGF related to skin angiogenesis at the modeling site. CONCLUSION Rape pollen can promote hair regeneration in androgenic alopecia mice. Its mechanism may be that it promotes perifollicular vascular regeneration by increasing bFGF and VEGF level.
