Tuberculosis is a serious public health problem worldwide,including China.It is a typical zoonotic disease that can be transmitted between people and animals.Effective control of zoonotic tuberculosis(ZTB)is important for achieving the END-TB goal on schedule,and markedly influences the national economy.This article reviews the pathogenic characteristics,epidemic status,history,and progress in construction of a system for global and domestic ZTB prevention and control strategies.Our goal is to help achieve complete control and eradication of ZTB and tuberculosis through departmental cooperation,and joint prevention and control measures,by improving systematic understanding of ZTB among personnel formulating ZTB prevention and control policies,high-risk professionals,and clinical workers.

In this study,we aim to evaluate the immunogenicity of the whole-cell proteins isolated from Mycobacterium marinum(MM).The findings of this research may provide scientific basis for the development of new candidate tuberculosis vaccines.Both MM 95014 and Mycobacteriumtuberculosis(MTB)H37Rv cells were routinely cultured and collected.After inactivation,whole-cell proteins were extracted by low-temperature ultrasonic fragmentation and mixed with DDA/Poly:IC adjuvant.The mixture was administered to BALB/c mice subcutaneously with 50 mg/mouse twice with an interval of 10 days.Blood sample was collected before each immunization,as well as 10 days after the last immunization.Blood samples and spleen tissue extracts were measured for serum antibody potency and cytokine levels by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.An in vitro growth inhibition assay(MGIA)was used to assess the ability of mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages,collected after immunization with MM whole-cell proteins,to inhibit MTB growth.A MTB whole mycobacterium proteome microarray was applied to analyze the interaction between the serum in MM immunization group and MTB proteins.Our results indicated that,compared with the adjuvant group,MM whole-cell proteins induced higher levels of Th1 cytokines(IL-2,IFN-γ,IL-12,TNF-α)in the mice.The IgG and IgM antibody titers induced by MM immunization group reached 1∶608 874 and 1∶304 437,respectively.The MGIA results showed that the MM immunization group was able to significantly inhibit MTB growth in vitro.The MTB proteome microarray results indicated that there were 226 and 324 cross-proteins with IgG and IgM antibodies,respectively.This study suggested that MM whole-cell proteins can induce high levels of cellular and humoral immune responses in mice and exhibit strong inhibition of MTB growth in vitro.The results may suggest potential application value of MM whole-cell proteins as a novel candidate vaccine for tuberculosis.

Objective:To explore the effect of circ_0101145 on immune escape of gastric cancer(GC)cells through miR-548c-3p/programmed death-ligand 1(PD-L1)axis.Methods:RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to detect circ_0101145,miR-548c-3p,PD-L1 mRNA and protein levels in GC tissue and cell lines,the relationship between circ_0101145 level and clinical patho-logical parameters of patients was analyzed;dual Luciferase experiment was used to verify the regulatory relationship of circ_0101145 on miR-548c-3p,miR-548c-3p on PD-L1;liposome transfection method was used to structure BGC-823 transfected cell line,divided into circ-NC group,circ_0101145 group,si-circ-NC group,si-circ_0101145 group,circ_0101145+NC group,circ_0101145+miR-548c-3p group,miR-548c-3p+NC group,miR-548c-3p+PD-L1 group.CD8+T cells were separated from human peripheral blood and cocultivate with BGC-823 cell;flow cytometry was used to detect CD8+T cells apoptosis rate;ELISA was used to detect TNF-α,IFN-γ levels in coculture medium;CCK-8,EdU staining,Transwell assay were used to detect cell proliferation,invasion ability.Nude mice was subcutaneous inject with BGC-823 cell suspension of knockdown circ_0101145,after 30 days,growth of transplanted tumors were measured.Results:Compared with adjacent cancer tissues or normal cells,miR-548c-3p level in GC tissues and cell lines were de-creased,while circ_0101145,PD-L1 mRNA and protein levels were increased,and the higher circ_0101145 level,the higher TNM stage,the lower degree of tumor differentiation,the easier microvascular infiltration,and the easier lymph node metastasis(P<0.05);circ_0101145 targeted miR-548c-3p,miR-548c-3p targeted PD-L1.In the cocultivation system,overexpression of circ_0101145 could increase CD8+T cells apoptosis rate,and TNF-α,IFN-γ levels in coculture supernatant were reduced,the A value after 1 day,2 days and 3 days,EdU positive rate and the number of invasive cell were increased(P<0.05).Knock down of circ_0101145 could de-crease the apoptosis rate of CD8+T cells,and TNF-α,IFN-γ levels in coculture supernatant were increased;the A value after 1 day,2 days and 3 days,EdU positive rate and the number of invasive cell were decreased(P<0.05).Overexpression of miR-548c-3p could partially reverse the effect of overexpression of circ_0101145 on the above indicators(P<0.05).Overexpression of PD-L1 could partially reverse the effect of overexpression of miR-548c-3p on the above indicators(P<0.05).Knock down of circ_0101145 could inhibit the growth of transplanted tumors in mice(P<0.05).Conclusion:circ_0101145 promotes immune escape of GC cells through miR-548c-3p/PD-1 axis.

Objective To explore the application value of CT-based radiomics in differentiating pneumonia-type mucinous adenocarcinoma(PTMA)from organizing pneumonia(OP).Methods A total of 52 PTMA patients and 102 OP patients were retrospectively included and randomly divided into training set(n=124)and test set(n=30)in an 8∶2 ratio.Eight PTMA patients and 22 OP patients from another hospital during the same period were included as external validation set(n=30).Clinical characteristics and CT signs of the patients were selected to construct the clinical model.Radiomics features were extracted and dimensionality reduction was performed through the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)algorithm.A radiomics model was constructed and the Radiomics score(Radscore)was calculated.The Radscore was combined with clinical factors to establish the combined model and a nomogram was illustrated.The models' fitting degree was analyzed by the calibration curve,while their efficacy was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and decision curve analysis(DCA).Results The clinical model,established based on the border,cystic space and bronchial leafless tree sign,achieved area under the curve(AUC)of 0.850,0.782,and 0.759 in the training set,test set,and external validation set,respectively.Thirteen features were obtained to construct the radiomics model,with AUC of 0.925,0.865,and 0.830,respectively.The AUC of the combined model were 0.970,0.905,and 0.864,respectively,in which the calibration curve demonstrated good model fitting.DCA indicated that the combined model had the greatest clinical net benefit.Conclusion The combined model based on CT radiomics can effectively distinguish PTMA from OP.

Aim To investigate the antidepressant mechanism of hyperforin via the utilization of single-cell sequencing technology.Methods C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the control group,depres-sion model group,and hyperforin intervention group.The chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS)model was induced and drug interventions were administered for 28 d.Behavioral experiments were conducted to as-sess depressive symptoms,and hippocampal tissue was collected for single-cell RNA sequencing.Key cell populations and differentially expressed genes across groups were identified,followed by PPI network,GO,and KEGG enrichment analysis.Results Behavioral experiments indicated that CUMS successfully induced depressive symptoms in mice,while hyperforin im-proved depressive behavior.In the depression model group,the proportion of brain perivascular macrophages(PVM)increased,and this proportion decreased after hyperforin intervention,approaching the level seen in the control group.The top 20 common differentially ex-pressed genes in the PVM subpopulation were Saa3,Hbb-bs and Ccl24.PPI network analysis identified core targets,including Ccl2,Dhx9,C3,Msr1,Cxcl2 and Cx3cr1.KEGG enrichment analysis revealed pathways related to chemokines,phagosome formation,and inosi-tol phosphate metabolism.Conclusion The antide-pressant mechanism of hyperforin may be related to the regulation of Ccl24 and its related chemokine signaling pathway by PVM.
