Objective:To analyze the protective effect of a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine based on bacterial outer membrane vesicle (OMV) in mice.Methods:The pre-fusion protein (preF) of RSV was linked to the surface of OMV through the transmembrane protein cytolysin A (ClyA) to form the nanovaccine OMV-preF. The morphological characteristics of OMV and OMV-preF were observed under a transmission electron microscope. OMV-preF was intramuscularly injected into BALB/c mice and the elicited humoral and cellular immune responses were evaluated. The protective effect of OMV-preF was assessed by challenging the immunized mice with RSV Long strain. One-way analysis of variance and Tukey test were used for statistical analysis.Results:The results showed that preF was stably expressed in OMV, and both OMV-preF and OMV exhibited a double-layer vesicle structures under the microscope. OMV-preF could significantly activate the cellular and humoral immune responses in mice, causing a significant increase in CD8 + T cells and CD19 + B cells as well as a significant increase in the serum level of specific IgG. The neutralizing antibodies produced in the immunized mice could significantly inhibit the replication of RSV Long strain in vivo. Conclusions:The nanovaccine OMV-preF can induce high-level humoral and cellular immune responses, and the antibodies produced following immunization can effectively inhibit viral replication. This study provides a new strategy for RSV subunit vaccines.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect of Dendrobium officinale polysaccharides(DOP)on intestinal mucosal barrier damage,and to elucidate the possible mechanism.Methods:Ten female C57BL/6 mice,aged 5 months,were selected as young group;twenty femal C57BL/6 mice,aged 15 months,were randomly divided into aged group and DOP treatment group(200 mg·kg-1,DOP group),with 10 mice in each group.The mice in DOP group were administrated with DOP by gavage.The body mass,food intakes and hanging time of the mice in various groups were detected.HE staining was used to observe the pathomorphology of intestinal and spleen tissues of the mice in various groups.Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expressions of intestinal atresin 1(ZO-1)and Mucin 2(MUC2)in intestinal tissue of the mice in various groups.The intestinal baterial metabolite medium(IBMM)were prepared to intervene the Caenorhabditis elegans(C.elegans),and the C.elegans were randomly divided into Young-IBMM group,Aged-IBMM group,and DOP-IBMM group.Immuno-fluorescence method was used to analyze the intestinal lipofuscin accumulation levels on the 1st day and the 12th day of the C.elegans in various groups.Brilliant blue staining was used to assess the intestinal leakage on the 1st day and the 12th day of C.elegans in various groups.The Caco-2 cells were randomly divided into Young-IBMM,Aged-IBMM and DOP-IBMM groups,and Western blotting method was used to detect the expression levels of ZO-1,Occludin,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6),phosphorylated myosin light chain(p-MLC),myosin light chain kinase(MLCK)proteins in the Caco-2 cells in various groups.Results:Compared with young group,the body mass of the mice in aged group was increased(P＜0.05),the amount of food intake was decreased(P＜0.05),and the hanging time was decreased(P＜0.05);compared with aged group,the body mass of the mice in DOP group was significantly decreased(P＜0.01),the amount of food intake was increased(P＜0.05),and the hanging time was significantly extended(P＜0.01).The HE staining results showed that compared with young group,the thickness of intestinal mucosa of the mice in aged group became thinner,the goblet cells were reduced,the intestinal villi were disordered with different lengths,a large amount of hemosiderin was found on the surface of the spleen,the cell components in the red medullary were reduced,and the lymphatic sheath and lymphatic nodes around the intra-white pulp artery remained or almost disappeared;compared with aged group,the thickness of the intestinal mucosa of the mice in DOP group was increased,the goblet cells were increased,the length of the intestinal villi was consistent and neatly arranged,the overall function of the red pulp of the spleen was improved,and the components of the white pulp were increased.The immunohistochemical staining results showed that compared with young group,the expression levels of ZO-1 and MUC2 proteins in intestinal tissue of the mice in aged group were significantly decreased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.001);compared with aged group,the expression levels of ZO-1 and MUC2 proteins in the intestinal tissue of the mice in DOP group were significantly increased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.001).The immuno-fluorescence analysis showed that compared with Young-IBMM group,the intestinal lipofuscin accumulation level of C.elegans in Aged-IBMM group was significantly increased(P＜0.001);compared with Aged-IBMM group,the intestinal lipofuscin accumulation level of C.elegans in DOP-IBMM group was significantly reduced(P＜0.001).The brilliant blue staining showed that compared with Young-IBMM group,the bright blue dye leaked into the whole body of C.elegans from intestinal tissue in Aged-IBMM group,and the intestinal structure became blurred and was difficulted to be observed;compared with Aged-IBMM group,the leakage of bright blue dye of C.elegans in DOP-IBMM was reduced.The Western blotting results showed that compared with Young-IBMM group,the expression levels of TNF-α,IL-6,p-MLC,and MLCK proteins in the Caco-2 cells in Aged-IBMM group were significantly increased(P＜0.01 or P＜0.001),and the expression levels of ZO-1 and Occludin proteins were significantly decreased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01);compared with Aged-IBMM,the expression levels of TNF-α,IL-6,p-MLC and MLCK proteins in the Caco-2 cells in DOP-IBMM group were significantly decreased(P＜0.01),and the expression levels of ZO-1 and Occludin proteins were significantly increased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Conclusion:DOP has an ameliorating effect on intestinal mucosal barrier damage in the aged mice,and its mechanism may be related to the improvement of intestinal barrier damage by regulating intestinal bacterial metabolites,inhibiting the p-MLC/MLCK signal pathway,restoring the expression of tight junction complexes,and reducing the level of intestinal inflammation.

Alzheimer's disease(AD)is a highly destructive neurodegenerative disorder,and due to its complex pathology and insuffi-cient treatment,it is urgent to explore new targets that can directly address the root cause of the disease.In recent years,numerous stud-ies have shown that triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2(TREM2)in microglial cells has the function of delaying the pro-gression of AD,and its abnormality plays a key role in the development and progression of AD,with a potential of being used as a target for the treatment of AD.This article reviews the biological characteristics of TREM2 and discusses its important role in the three major pathological features of AD and its potential as a target for AD treatment,in order to deepen the understanding of the role of TREM2 in AD and provide a theoretical reference for exploring new targets for AD treatment in the future.

The standardized workflow of computer-aided static guided implant surgery includes preoperative exami-nation,data acquisition,guide design,guide fabrication and surgery.Errors may occur at each step,leading to irrevers-ible cumulative effects and thus impacting the accuracy of implant placement.However,clinicians tend to focus on fac-tors causing errors in surgical operations,ignoring the possibility of irreversible errors in nonstandard guided surgery.Based on the clinical practice of domestic experts and research progress at home and abroad,this paper summarizes the sources of errors in guided implant surgery from the perspectives of preoperative inspection,data collection,guide de-signing and manufacturing and describes strategies to resolve errors so as to gain expert consensus.Consensus recom-mendation:1.Preoperative considerations:the appropriate implant guide type should be selected according to the pa-tient's oral condition before surgery,and a retaining screw-assisted support guide should be selected if necessary.2.Da-ta acquisition should be standardized as much as possible,including beam CT and extraoral scanning.CBCT performed with the patient's head fixed and with a small field of view is recommended.For patients with metal prostheses inside the mouth,a registration marker guide should be used,and the ambient temperature and light of the external oral scan-ner should be reasonably controlled.3.Optimization of computer-aided design:it is recommended to select a handle-guided planting system and a closed metal sleeve and to register images by overlapping markers.Properly designing the retaining screws,extending the support structure of the guide plate and increasing the length of the guide section are methods to feasibly reduce the incidence of surgical errors.4.Improving computer-aided production:it is also crucial to set the best printing parameters according to different printing technologies and to choose the most appropriate postpro-cessing procedures.

Objective:To analyze antiviral activity against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) of interferon (IFN)-α2b and IFN-λ1 on Hep2 cells and human airway epithelial (HAE) cells.Methods:IFN-α2b or IFN-λ1 was incubated with Hep2 cells after RSV infection, and 48 hours later, the cytopathic effect was observed, the viral load was determined using real time/reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT qPCR), RSV F protein expression was detected using immunofluorescence, and cell survival rate was detected using crystal violet. HAE cells were incubated with IFN-α2b or IFN-λ1 for 24 hours, and then HAE were challenged with RSV. The viral load in the culture supernatant was determined on days 1-7 using RT qPCR, RSV F protein was determined with immunofluorescence and the viral titers in the culture supernatant was detected on day 7 by plaque assay.Results:In Hep2 cells, the CPE of the treatment groups (IFN-α2b and IFN-λ1) was alleviated compared to the virus control group, and the CPE of the high concentration group was lighter than that of the low concentration group. Different concentrations of IFN-α2b and IFN-λ1 could significantly reduce the viral load of RSV ( P<0.001), and the viral load of the high concentration group was significantly lower than that of the low concentration group ( P<0.001). In addition, IFN-α2b and IFN-λ1 could reduce the RSV F protein expression after RSV infection and improve cell survival rate. In HAE cells, IFN-α2b and IFN-λ1 could inhibit RSV virus replication, reduce virus titers ( P<0.001) and reduce RSV F protein expression. Conclusions:IFN-α2b and IFN-λ1 both showed great antiviral activity against RSV in Hep2 and HAE cells, providing data reference for the study of interferon against respiratory viruses.

Objective To explore the clinical application value of combined detection of apolipoprotein A1(ApoA1)and alpha-fetoprotein(AFP)in young and middle-aged patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.Meth-ods A total of 82 young and middle-aged patients with pulmonary tuberculosis admitted to the hospital from December 2020 to December 2021 were selected as the observation group,and 85 healthy people who under-went physical examination in the hospital during the same period were selected as the control group.The clini-cal,lipid,inflammation and iron metabolism related indexes were compared between the two groups.Multiva-riate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of pulmonary tuberculosis in young and middle-aged patients.The area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve(AUC)was used to e-valuate the application value of ApoA1,AFP and their combination in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in young and middle-aged patients.Results Compared with the control group,the observation group had sig-nificantly higher levels of direct bilirubin,creatinine,AFP and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(P<0.05),and significantly lower levels of triglyceride,total cholesterol,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and ApoA1(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that ApoA1 was an independent protective factor(OR=0.119,95%CI 0.019-0.754,P=0.024)and AFP was an independent risk factor(OR=1.554,95%CI 1.138-2.122,P=0.006)for pulmonary tuberculosis in young and middle-aged patients.ApoA1,AFP and the combined prediction of young and middle-aged tuberculosis AUC were 0.644(P=0.006),0.262(P<0.001),0.678(P=0.001),respectively.Conclusion The low level of ApoA1 is an independent protec-tive factor for pulmonary tuberculosis in young and middle-aged patients,and the high level of AFP is an inde-pendent risk factor for pulmonary tuberculosis in young and middle-aged patients.The combined detection of ApoA1 and AFP has good value in predicting pulmonary tuberculosis in young and middle-aged patients.

Gastrointestinal tumors(GT)are characterized by both high malignancy and high mortality and have become the major diseases for prevention in the elderly.GT often present detectable changes, including bleeding and abnormal mucosal morphology.However, many technical difficulties remain in accurately monitoring the tumor itself and related abnormal lesions mentioned above, which are the key factors affecting the early detection rate of gastrointestinal tumors.In recent years, with progresses in artificial intelligence(AI)applications for digestive endoscopy image analysis, biosensors, new biomarkers and other areas, AI holds promise for the detection of bleeding, morphological and structural abnormalities of the mucosa, tumors and other major disorders.Here we review the progress of AI applications in geriatric digestive diseases affecting digestive organs and the mucosa in light of morphology and function, to provide a reference for reducing the incidence of both geriatric emergencies and GT.
