Influenza is a major public health problem worldwide,resulting in millions of hospitalizations each year.In addi-tion to vaccination and antiviral drugs against influenza,monoclonal antibody therapy is a promising treatment method because of its cross-reactivity and targeting.Widely reactive monoclonal antibodies can bind and neutralize multiple subtypes of influenza A virus,and also show good protective effect on infected mice,showing high potential in the prevention and treatment of influenza.In this review,we briefly review the recent research progress of broad-spectrum monoclonal antibodies targeting HA and NA,two important surface glycoproteins of influenza A virus.

Objective:To obtain fucose-free anti-West Nile virus nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) antibody and evaluate its antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC).Methods:The guanosine diphosphate-fucose transporter SLC35C1 in CHO cells was knocked out using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology to obtain the fucose-free cell line CHO SLC35C1 -/-. CHO SLC35C1 -/- cells were used to produce fucose-free anti-West Nile virus NS1 antibodies. The binding abilities of the antibodies to the target antigen of West Nile virus NS1 protein and the human high-affinity IgG Fc receptor hFcγRⅠ (hCD64) were detected by ELISA and flow cytometry, respectively. The ADCC activity of the antibodies was detected by ADCC reporter gene assay. One-way analysis of variance was used for statistical analysis. Results:CHO SLC35C1 -/- cells expressed green fluorescent protein but not Lens culinaris agglutinin. The anti-West Nile virus NS1 antibodies produced by CHO SLC35C1 -/- cells with a fucose content of 0.22% could bind to West Nile virus NS1 protein in a concentration-dependent manner. Compared with the wild-type antibodies, the fucose-free anti-West Nile virus NS1 antibodies showed a stronger binding ability to hFcγRⅠ(hCD64), as indicated by a significant increase in fluorescence intensity. The ADCC reporter gene assay showed that the fucose-free anti-West Nile virus NS1 antibodies had increased activity as compared with the wild-type antibodies ( P<0.001). Conclusion:The fucose-free anti-West Nile virus NS1 antibodies may be used to protect against West Nile virus infection.

Objective To observe the impact factors of vascular heat sink effect during in vitro microwave ablation(MWA)of porcine lung.Methods Simulation models were established using in vitro porcine lung tissue blocks based on isobaric inflation with an air pump and cyclic perfusion of duck blood with a glass tube and peristaltic pump,etc.MWA was performed under 8 different combining conditions(vessel diameter of 3 or 5 mm,blood perfusion of 30 or 50 cm/s,as well as distance between vessel and ablation antenna of 5 or 10 mm)each for 3 times.The highest temperature TV on vessel side and TC on control side during MWA,and ablation depth DV on vessel side and DC on control side after MWA were recorded.Multi-factor linear regression equations were constructed based on simulated vessel diameters,blood perfusion and distance between vessel and ablation antenna,and the impact factors of|TC-TV|and|DC-DV|were screened,respectively.Results Simulated vessel diameter showed linear positive correlation with both|TC-TV|and|DC-DV|(both P＜0.001).Simulated distance between vessel and ablation antenna showed linear negative correlation with both|TC-TV|and|DC-DV|(both P＜0.001),and the latter had more obvious impact on vascular heat sink effect than the former.Meanwhile,no significant linear relationship was found between simulated blood perfusion and|TC-TV|nor|DC-DV|(both P＞0.05).Conclusion Simulated vessel diameter and distance between vessel and ablation antenna were both impact factors of vascular heat sink effect during in vitro MWA of porcine lung,and the latter was more influential,whereas simulated blood perfusion showed no significant impact on it.

Objective To understand the current situation of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in China,pro-vide data support and decision-making basis for formulating scientific and effective strategies for HAI prevention and control.Methods A nationwide cross-sectional survey on HAI was conducted among various types and levels of medical institutions in China according to a unified protocol of bedside surveys and case investigations.Results In 2024,a total of 5 736 medical institutions and 2 751 765 patients were surveyed.Among them,34 889 HAI cases were identified,with a prevalence rate of 1.27％.The number of HAI episodes was 38 032,and case prevalence rate was 1.38％.The prevalence rate of HAI in medical institutions in different regions of China ranged from 0.66％to 2.35％.Among medical institutions of different scales,those with a bed capacity of ≥900 had the high-est incidence of HAI,reaching 1.65％.The most common infection site was the lower respiratory tract(44.66％),followed by the urinary tract(12.94％),surgical site(9.32％),upper respiratory tract(7.02％),and bloodstream infection(5.78％).The top 3 departments with the highest HAI rates were the general intensive care unit(10.02％),department of neurosurgery(5.51％),and department(group)of hematology(5.34％).A total of 23 238 strains of HAI pathogens were detected,with 10 714 strains(46.10％)from lower respiratory tract speci-mens.The top 5 detected strains were Klebsiella pneumoniae(14.76％),Pseudomonas aeruginosa(13.33％),Escherichia coli(12.79％),Acinetobacter baumannii(9.23％),and Staphylococcus aureus(7.88％).231 944 pa-tients underwent class Ⅰ incision surgery were monitored,with 1 647 cases experienced surgical site infection,and the prevalence rate of surgical site infection was 0.71％.The number of patients who should undergo pathogen de-tection(patients receiving therapeutic and therapeutic combined prophylactic antimicrobial agents)was 715 179,while the actual number was 480 492,with a pathogen detection rate of 67.18％.425 225 patients received patho-genic detection before treatment,with a detection rate of 59.46％.Conclusion The overall HAI prevalence in Chi-na is lower,showing disparities among medical institutions of different regions and scales.Therefore,precise imple-mentation of measures is necessary for HAI prevention and control,with a focus on high-risk institutions and high-risk departments,key areas,and critical procedures.All levels of medical institutions should continuously reduce the incidence of HAI by strengthening monitoring,standardizing the use of antimicrobial agents,and reinforcing basic HAI prevention and control measures.

Objective To establish and evaluate a mouse model of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)induced by cigarette smoke(CS).Methods Forty BALB/c mice were divided randomly into a control group and a CS group.Mice in the CS group were subjected to passive smoking for 20 weeks and a COPD model was established.Morphological changes in the organs and lung,heart,liver,and kidney fibrosis were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)and Masson staining.Lung,cardiac,and brain cognitive function were evaluated by pulmonary function testing,small-animal ultrasound,and Morris water maze trials.Tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin(IL)-6 and IL-1β levels in lung and brain tissues were detected by ELISA.Liver and renal functions were measured by biochemical method.Results The alveolar septum was narrowed or broken in mice in the CS group,and the adjacent alveolar cavity was enlarged and fused,consistent with the pathological changes of COPD.Neuronal degeneration and necrosis were observed in the hippocampus,but there were no significant morphological changes in other organs.Masson staining showed no obvious fibrosis in the lung,heart,liver,or kidney in CS-group mice.The result of pulmonary function tests showed that the forced expiratory volume in 0.1 second/forced vital capacity(FEV 0.1/FVC)and dynamic compliance were significantly decreased in the CS group compared with the control group,while airway resistance was obviously increased.Cognitive impairment in mice in the CS group was confirmed in the Morris water maze trial.TNF-α,IL-6,and IL-1β levels in lung and brain tissues were higher in the CS group compared with the control group.There were no significant differences in cardiac,liver,and renal functions between the groups.Conclusions A mouse model of COPD can be established by CS exposure for 20 weeks.Lung histomorphology,lung function,brain cognitive function,and levels of inflammatory factors can be used as indicators to evaluate the success of the model.

Objective To investigate the effects of open reading frame 1 protein(ORF1p),encoded by long interspersed nuclear element-1(LINE-1),on the proliferation,migration,and invasion of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC)cells,and explore the underlying molecular mechanism.Methods① Western blotting was performed to compare the expression of ORF1p between normal esophageal squamous epithelial cells and ESCC cells.② Immunohistochemistry(IHC)assay was used to examine ORF1p expression in ESCC tissues and paired normal tissues adjacent to tumor.③ The effects of ORF1p knockdown and overexpression on malignant behaviors in ESCC cells were determined through functional assays.④ Xenograft tumor model in nude mice was established to evaluate the impact of ORF1p on tumor growth in vivo.⑤ Transcriptome sequencing combined with cell functional rescue experiments were conducted to identify downstream targets regulated by ORF1p.Results ① Western blot analysis demonstrated the expression of ORF1p was significantly higher in the ESCC cell lines than the normal esophageal squamous epithelial cells(P<0.05).② IHC confirmed remarkable up-regulation of ORF1p in ESCC tissues than paired adjacent normal tissues(P<0.000 1).③ Functional assays and experiments on xenograft tumor models revealed that ORF1p substantially enhanced the proliferation,migration,and invasion of ESCC cells,as well as tumorigenic potential in vivo(P<0.05).④ Functional rescue experiments showed that ORF1p facilitated the proliferation,migration,and invasion of ESCC cells by modulating AJUBA expression(P<0.05).Conclusion ORF1p is significantly up-regulated in ESCC and promotes the proliferation,migration,and invasion of ESCC cells by regulating AJUBA expression.

By using a strategy of leveraging the ability of metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)materials to precisely regulate the spatial orientation of cyclodextrins(CD),a polystyrene-modified γ-cyclodextrin metal-organic frameworks(PS-CD-MOFs)capillary coating was established and applied to the chiral separation of amino acids in open-tubular capillary electrochromatography(OT-CEC)based on the excellent film-forming property of polystyrene(PS).Characterization results by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR),X-ray diffraction(XRD)indicated that PS was successfully grafted onto the surface of CD-MOFs.The modification significantly improved the structural stability and thermal stability of CD-MOFs while maintaining the integrity of the MOFs.The PS-CD-MOFs coated capillary electrophoresis system exhibited excellent performance in separating dansylated amino acid enantiomers(Dns-D,L-AAs).Specifically,under the optimal separation conditions(Sodium dodecyl sulfate/boric acid buffer system,20 cm capillary,and 10 kV effective voltage),good separation was achieved for D,L-methionine(D,L-Met)and D,L-serine(D,L-Ser).Further quantitative analysis showed that Dns-D,L-Met presented a good linear relationship in the concentration range of 10.0-1500.0 μmol/L,with a correlation coefficient close to 0.998,demonstrating high sensitivity and repeatability.Not only did it overcome the problem that traditional CD(used as additives in capillary electrophoresis)could not precisely control the spatial orientation of chiral resolvents,but also it solved the issues of insufficient stability and bonding amount of CD-MOFs coatings by utilizing the excellent film-forming property of polymers on the inner wall of capillaries.This study provided an efficient and controllable new strategy for construction of chiral separation stationary phases.
