OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness, safety, economy, innovation, suitability and accessibility of recombinant Mycobacterium tuberculosis fusion protein (EC), and to provide evidence for selecting skin detection methods for tuberculosis infection diagnosis and auxiliary diagnosis of tuberculosis. METHODS The effectiveness and safety of EC compared with purified protein derivative of tuberculin (TB-PPD) were analyzed by the method of systematic review. Cost minimization analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis and cost-utility analysis were used to evaluate the short-term economy of EC compared with TB-PPD, and cost-utility analysis was used to evaluate the long-term economy. The evaluation dimensions of innovation, suitability and accessibility were determined by systematic review and improved Delphi expert consultation, and the comprehensive score of EC and TB-PPD in each dimension were calculated by the weight of each indicator. RESULTS The scores of effectiveness, safety, economy, innovation and suitability of EC were all higher than those of TB-PPD. The affordability scores of the two drugs were consistent, while the availability score of EC was lower than those of TB-PPD. After considering dimensions and index weight, the scores of effectiveness, safety, economy, innovation, suitability, accessibility and the comprehensive score of EC were all higher than those of TB-PPD. CONCLUSIONS Compared with TB-PPD, EC performs better in all dimensions of effectiveness, safety, economy, innovation, suitability and accessibility. However, it is worth noting that EC should further improve its availability in the dimension of accessibility.

Chemicals possessing reactive electrophiles can denature innate proteins leading to undesired toxicity, and the overdose-induced liver injury by drugs containing electrophiles has been one of the major causes of non-approval and withdraw by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Elucidating the associated proteins could guide the future development of therapeutics to circumvent these drugs' toxicities, but was largely limited by the current probing tools due to the steric hindrance of chemical tags including the common "click chemistry" labels. Taking the widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug acetaminophen (APAP) as an example, we hereby designed and synthesized an APAP analogue using fluorine as a steric-free label. Cell toxicity studies indicated our analogue has similar activity to the parent drug. This analogue was applied to the mouse hepatocellular proteome together with the corresponding desthiobiotin-SH probe for subsequent fluorine-thiol displacement reactions (FTDRs). This set of probes has enabled the labeling and pull-down of hepatocellular target proteins of the APAP metabolite as validated by Western blotting. Our preliminary validation results supported the interaction of APAP with the thioredoxin protein, which is an important redox protein for normal liver function. These results demonstrated that our probes confer minimal steric perturbation and mimic the compounds of interest, allowing for global profiling of interacting proteins. The fluorine-thiol displacement probing system could emerge as a powerful tool to enable the investigation of drug-protein interactions in complex biological environments.

Objectives To describe the Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infection of children in Hefei, analyze its epidemiological characteristics, and explore the factors affecting EBV infection. Methods The children as the outpatient in the department of our hospital were recruited as the research subjects from June 2018 to June 2021. Epidemiological data of the research subjects were collected from medical records and the laboratory tests were performed to detect the related serological indicators of EBV. The distribution characteristics of different serological antibodies of EBV were described. According to the types of serological antibodies, all research subjects were divided into three states: primary infection, previous infection and non-infection. Logistics regression was used to analyze the factors affecting the infection status. Results There were 480 children in this study. The mean age and body mass index of all research subjects were 8.7±1.5 years and 20.78±3.2kg/m2, respectively. There were 276 boys(57.50%) and 204 girls(42.50%). 67 children(12.92%) were positive for VCA-IgM antibody. 326 children(67.92%) were positive for VCA-IgG antibody. 290 children(60.42%) were positive for NA-IgG antibody and 25 children(5.21%) were positive for EA-IgG antibody. There was no significant distribution difference of serological antibodies in gender, season of onset, disease duration, fever, angina and enlargement of lymph nodes. However, there were significant distribution differences of serological antibodies among different body mass index(χ2=50.207, P<0.001) and age(χ2=48.295, P<0.001). According to the types of serological antibodies, all research subjects were divided into three states. There were 78(16.25%) children with primary infection, 335(69.79%) with previous infection and 67(13.96%) with non-infection. Only age was the main factor affecting infection status by Logistic regression analysis(Pprimary infection vs. non-infection<0.001, ORprimary infection vs. non-infection=0.580; Pprevious infection vs. non-infection=0.038, ORprevious infection vs. non-infection=2.347). Conclusion The previous infection by EBV is the mainly infection type in children aged 6 to 12 year. The positive VCA-IgG antibody accounts for the most in previous infection. Age is the important influencing factor on EB infection. The younger the age, the higher the probability of primary infection. Besides, the positive VCA-IgM antibody is the main pattern of primary infection in children.
