The identification and optimization of mutations in nanobodies are crucial for enhancing their thera-peutic potential in disease prevention and control.However,this process is often complex and time-consuming,which limit its widespread application in practice.In this study,we developed a work-flow,named Evolutionary-Nanobody(EvoNB),to predict key mutation sites of nanobodies by combining protein language models(PLMs)and molecular dynamic(MD)simulations.By fine-tuning the ESM2 model on a large-scale nanobody dataset,the ability of EvoNB to capture specific sequence features of nanobodies was significantly enhanced.The fine-tuned EvoNB model demonstrated higher predictive accuracy in the conserved framework and highly variable complementarity-determining regions of nanobodies.Additionally,we selected four widely representative nanobody-antigen complexes to verify the predicted effects of mutations.MD simulations analyzed the energy changes caused by these mu-tations to predict their impact on binding affinity to the targets.The results showed that multiple mu-tations screened by EvoNB significantly enhanced the binding affinity between nanobody and its target,further validating the potential of this workflow for designing and optimizing nanobody mutations.Additionally,sequence-based predictions are generally less dependent on structural absence,allowing them to be more easily integrated with tools for structural predictions,such as AlphaFold 3.Through mutation prediction and systematic analysis of key sites,we can quickly predict the most promising variants for experimental validation without relying on traditional evolutionary or selection processes.The EvoNB workflow provides an effective tool for the rapid optimization of nanobodies and facilitates the application of PLMs in the biomedical field.

Objective:To analyze the genetic characteristics of the VWF gene c.7332G＞A nonsense mutation and explore its molecular pathogenesis.Methods:Phenotypic diagnosis of the proband was performed using VWF:Ag,VWF:RCo,FⅧ:C and multimeric analysis.The probands were genotyped by NGS whole-exome sequencing,and the sequencing results were validated by sanger sequencing.The family members were genotyped by Sanger sequencing.The VWF gene c.7332G＞A nonsense mutant plasmid was constructed.After transfection,the function of VWF gene c.7332G＞A mutant plasmid was verified at cell level in vitro.The mRNA level was detected by qRT-PCR,and the expression level of protein was detected by Western blot,the function of multimerization was verified by the multimeric analysis.Results:VWF:Ag and VWF:RCo were all less than 3％in the proband,and the multimeric analysis showed multimer deficiency.The proband was diagnosed as type 3 VWD.The homozygous nonsense mutation of VWF gene c.7332G＞A was detected by gene sequencing.The VWF mRNA level of the mutant plasmid was decreased,and the VWF protein expression in the cell supernatant was decreased,the mutant protein was truncated and the function of VWF multimerization was impaired.Conclusion:A homozygous mutation in exon 43 of VWF gene,c.7332G＞A,was responsible for the probands type 3 VWD in the proband.The mutation caused a decrease in the relative level of VWF mRNA and protein,and impaired the function of VWF multimerization.

Objective:To evaluate the imaging stability of a portable boom-type ophthalmic ultra-high-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) device in multiple application scenarios.Methods:The boom-type mode and handheld mode of the portable boom-type OCT and the desktop OCT were used to perform three-dimensional imaging tests on three healthy adults undergoing physical examinations at the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University as well as on OEMI-7 model eyes in a sitting position.The same two modes of the portable boom-type OCT were used to perform three-dimensional imaging on four awake non-sedated infants, two sedated infants and four healthy adults in the supine position.The obtained 3D imaging data were processed using a correlation analysis method between adjacent B-scans, and the offset of B-scan in the axial (z-axis) and the fast axis transverse (x-axis) were calculated.The procedures for in vivo human eye experiments followed the Declaration of Helsinki and were approved by the Ethics Committee of Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University (No.2020 KYPJ154).All subjects and infant guardians signed the informed consent form. Results:Compared with the handheld imaging mode, the axial and fast axis lateral motion offsets of the model eye were significantly reduced in the boom-type imaging mode from (124.00±12.49)μm to (48.00±15.87)μm and from (24.00±1.00)μm to (2.67±0.57)μm, respectively ( t=2.932, 4.337; both P<0.001).In both human and model eyes, the axial and fast axis lateral motion offsets of the boom-type mode were significantly lower than in the traditional handheld operation mode (both P<0.001).The axial and lateral motion offsets between the boom-type mode and desk-top OCT imaging were comparable, without significant differences (both P>0.05).In both sedated and awake, non-sedated infants in the supine position, the axial offset of the portable boom-type OCT system was similar to that of the healthy adults, without significant difference in the overall comparison ( P=0.385), and the lateral offsets were higher than those of healthy adults, with statistically significant differences (both P=0.013).There was no significant difference in axial deviation between sedated and non-sedated infants ( P>0.05).The lateral deviation of non-sedated infants was higher than that of sedated infants, though the difference was not statistically significant ( P=0.247). Conclusions:The portable boom-type OCT system can maintain high-speed, high-resolution imaging performance while achieving imaging stability comparable to traditional desktop OCT systems.It is more suitable for bedside imaging of supine subjects, especially uncooperative infants, and has good clinical application prospects.

Objective This study aimed to provide an effective scientific basis for prevention and control of cockroaches on aircrafts by identifying cockroach-carried pathogens,and assess the insecticidal efficacy of gel bait mediated cockroach control on aircrafts,to provide technical guidance for aircraft disinsection.Methods Cassette-trapping was used to trap cockroaches,and the carried pathogens were detected using bacterial cultivation techniques.The gel bait mediated killing rate was calculated after 1,7,and 30 d by field application of gel bait.Results A total of 411 cockroaches were captured,and all were identified as Blattella germanica.26 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated from the trapped cockroaches.The killing rates of cockroaches were 58.8％-96.3％with 1-30 day application of gel bait.Statistically significant differences were observed in cockroach killing rates on different days(χ2=58.95,P<0.01).Conclusions B.germanica carry a large variety of pathogenic bacteria and opportunistic pathogens and are thus important infectious disease carriers.Gel bait agents have proven to be very effective against cockroaches on aircrafts.

Bovine rotavirus(BRV)is an important pathogen causing diarrhea in calves.To understand the genomic charac-teristics and genetic variations in bovine rotavirus,and to further enrich data on the biological characteristics of rotavirus,we aimed to amplify 11 gene segments of the isolated and cultured G6P[1]bovine rotavirus BLL strain,perform whole genome se-quencing,and analyze the molecular characteristics.MEGA7.0 and DNAMAN software were used for homology and typing a-nalysis,and the whole genome phylogenetic tree was constructed to analyze genetic evolution relationships.The complete geno-type of the BLL strain was G6-P[1]-I2-R2-C2-M2-A3-N2-T6-E2-H3.Phylogenetic analysis of the VP7 and VP4 genes of the BLL strain showed that the VP7 gene had the highest homology with RVA/Cow-wt/HB01/China/2021,and the VP4 gene of the BLL strain was in the same branch as RVA/Human-tc/ISR/Ro8059/1995.From the sequence alignment of VP8*amino acids,the sialic acid domain of the BLL strain was found to be similar to that in other P[1]strains,but different from those in other types of strains,except for residue 189,which was the same as that in Ro8059 but different from that in other strains.The results suggested that the BLL strain might potentially infect humans.Therefore,continued monitoring and study of the biological characteristics of this strain are necessary to provide more information and evidence supporting further research on the cross-species transmission of group A rotavirus in China.

Objective To explore the objective facial appearance characteristics of patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods From April 7,2019 to December 1,2022,313 patients with CHD were recruited from Dongzhimen Hospital,Beijing University of Chinese Medicine,Dongfang Hospital,Beijing University of Chinese Medicine,and the First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan University of Chinese Medicine,together with 293 healthy controls.Standardized facial images were obtained using the tongue-face diagnostic instrument.The face was divided into six regions:the forehead,left cheek,right cheek,nose,lips,and chin.Nine color parameters were extracted from each region,including red(R),green(G),blue(B),hue(H),saturation(S),value(V),lightness(L),red-green axis(a),and yellow-blue axis(b).Comparisons between groups were performed.Results Compared with the healthy group,in the forehead region,values of R,S,V,a,and b were higher in the coronary heart disease group,whereas B was lower(P<0.05);in the left cheek,nose,and chin regions,R,G,B,V,and L decreased,whereas S,a,and b increased(P<0.05);in the right cheek region,R,G,B,H,V,and L decreased,while S,a,and b increased(P<0.05);in the lips region,R,G,B,H,V,L,and a decreased,whereas S and b increased(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with healthy individuals,patients with CHD present with a darker,more saturated facial complexion with reduced brightness,overall manifesting as"dark red complexion"and"dense but not bright color,"suggesting the pathogenesis of qi and blood circulation stagnation and internal blood stasis retention.The objective expression of facial features may have greater application value in syndrome differentiation and auxiliary diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine.

An analysis of 24 144 norovirus sequences from Asia and Russia deposited in GenBank between 1995 and 2023 was conducted,to understand the temporal and spatial variations in norovirus genotypes in these regions.Norovirus sequences from Asia and Russia were downloaded in FASTA format from GenBank for the years 1995-2023,and analyzed in Excel,R language,and GraphPad Prism for data visualization.The number of norovirus sequences submitted to GenBank increased annually from 2004 and peaked in 2015.Notably,China and Japan contributed 62.3％of all submitted norovirus sequences.These sequences encompassed 31 capsid genotypes(C-type),with GⅠ accounting for 9％and GⅡ accounting for 90％.Additionally,49 polymerase types(P-type)were identified,along with 68 combinations of CP types;among the analyzed recombinant sequences(4 460 entries in total),approxi-mately 41％belonged to three predominant recombinant strains:GⅡ.2[P16],GⅡ.4[P31],and GⅡ.4[P16].This analysis provides valuable insights into the distribution characteristics of norovirus genotypes across Asia and Russia over time,thereby supporting vac-cine design and evaluation efforts.

Group C rotavirus（RVC）is one of the important etiological agents responsible for human rotavirus gastroenteritis（RVGE）. Although its overall detection rate has shown a declining trend in recent years，sporadic outbreaks continue to be reported，highlighting its potential public health threat. RVC infections predominantly occur in preschool children，adolescents，and adults，typically presenting with mild to moderate diarrhea. While most cases are sporadic，cluster outbreaks can also occur. At present，fundamental research on RVC remains limited，particularly regarding its transmission and pathogenesis. Nevertheless，emerging evidence suggests that interspecies transmission may represent a key route of human infection. This review provides a comprehensive overview of current research on RVC-associated gastroenteritis，with a particular focus on its virological characteristics，epidemiological patterns，clinical manifestations，and preventive and control strategies. It aims to offer a theoretical foundation and practical reference for future studies and public health interventions targeting RVC.
