Monkeypox is a viral zoonotic disease,and there is currently a lack of safe and effective vac-cines against the monkeypox virus.Therefore,screening and developing vaccine candidates is of signifi-cant practical importance.With the rapid advancement of molecular biology and plant genetic engineer-ing,plant bioreactors offer promising potential for producing vaccine proteins due to their advantages,in-cluding safety,cost-effectiveness,and scalability.In this study,we focused on the monkeypox protein B6R.The recombinant expression plasmid pFolia40108-B6R-Fer was successfully constructed using am-plification,enzyme digestion,and flexible linker tandem ferritin technology.A complete transient expres-sion system in Nicotiana benthamiana and a purification system for the recombinant monkeypox protein were established.The optimal expression time was determined to be 12-14 days,with a final purified pro-tein concentration of approximately 1 mg/mL and a yield of 0.85 mg/kg fresh weight.The purified B6R-Fer recombinant protein self-assembled into spherical virus-like particles(VLPs)with an average particle size of 24 nm.The B6R-Fer recombinant protein from this study shows promising potential for use in the development and screening of plant-derived monkeypox vaccine candidates.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence and severity of symptom burden among long-term survivors of oropharyngeal cancer after radiotherapy, to identify core symptom clusters, and to explore their correlation with quality of life.Methods:A previous retrospective study was conducted by the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences on patients with oropharyngeal cancer who underwent radiotherapy between January 2010 and December 2020. Patients who were still alive as of December 2023 were further followed and analyzed. From December 2023 to August 2024, symptom burden and quality of life were assessed using the Chinese version of the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory–Head and Neck Module (MDASI-HN) and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ). Exploratory factor analysis (principal component analysis with Promax rotation) were used to identify symptom clusters. Spearman correlation analysis was performed to explore the relationship between total symptom cluster scores and standardized domain scores of quality of life. Multivariate linear regression analysis was further employed to determine the relationship between identified symptom clusters and overall quality of life.Results:A total of 273 patients were included, with a median follow-up duration of 6.2 years (range: 3.5-14.5 years) and a median age of 61 years (range: 27-88 years) at follow-up. The top 5 incidence rates of symptom reported by patients were mucus problems in the mouth or throat (147 cases, 53.8%), dental or gum issues (143 cases, 52.4%), xerostomia (140 cases, 51.3%), difficulty swallowing or chewing (95 cases, 34.8%), and taste disturbance (79 cases, 28.9%). Among them, xerostomia was the most serious symptom. The most frequently reported interference was impact on work (including household chores) (55 cases, 20.1%). Exploratory factor analysis identified 3 symptom clusters: fatigue-nausea cluster, eating-voice cluster, and xerostomia-sleep cluster, all of which were significantly correlated with lower overall quality of life of patients (all P<0.001). Conclusion:Long-term survivors of oropharyngeal cancer after radiotherapy experience substantial symptom burden. The fatigue-nausea, eating-voice, and xerostomia-sleep clusters are the core symptom clusters impacting quality of life.

To establish a method for detecting Toxoplasma gondii based on recombinant polymerase amplification(RPA)technology and apply it to clinical sample validation of pet cats.Using the 529 repeat sequence of the Toxoplasma gondii gene as the target gene sequence,primers and probes were designed,and the Rep-529 recombinant plasmid was constructed as the standard.A fluorescent RPA reaction system was established.Dilute the plasmid standard 10 times to different concentrations as the detection template for sensitivity testing;Specific testing was conducted using genomic DNA from several parasitic spe-cies,including Toxoplasma gondii,Cryptosporidium,Neosporidium,Trichinella spiralis,Giardia flagellata,Babesia bo-vis and Theileria annulata as templates;Simultaneously,fluorescence RPA and RT-PCR were used to detect 52 positive and 40 negative cats clinical samples,and the coincidence rate of the detection results of the two methods were compared and ana-lyzed.The RPA reaction system was successfully established using PTRep recombinant plasmid as the standard,ToxD-F/ToxD-R as the primer,and RepD-P as the fluorescent probe.The reaction temperature was constant at 39 ℃,the reaction time was 30 minutes,and the detection sensitivity was 1 copy/μL.There is no significant cross reaction with parasites such as Cryptosporidium,Neosporidium,Trichinella spiralis,Giardia,Babesia bovis and Theileria annulata,and the specificity is good.A total of 92 clinical fecal samples from cats were tested,and the positive coincidence rate of fluorescence RPA detection method was higher than that of conventional RT-PCR method(98.08%vs.82.69%),and the difference of the positive rate was not statistically significant(X2=1.392,P>0.05).The fluorescence RPA detection method for Toxoplasma gondii suc-cessfully established in this study has the characteristics of being fast,sensitive,specific,accurate,and reliable.It can be used as a rapid clinical detection kit for Toxoplasma gondii in cats and other animals,providing new technical support for the subsequent epidemiological monitoring and precise clinical diagnosis of toxoplasmosis in cats,other animals,and humans in the future.

Cadmium is a non-essential,non-degradable heavy metal element,the accumulation of cadmium can cause kidney damage.The purpose of this study was to reveal the ferroptosis mecha-nism induced by cadmium exposure in porcine kidney PK-15 cells.First of all,cell viability of gradi-ent concentration of cadmium chloride(CdCl2)on PK-15 cells was detected by CCK-8 method to screen suitable work concentration of CdCl2.Secondly,PK-15 cells were treated with 10 μmol/L CdCl2 for 3,6 and 12 h.The contents of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)malondialdehyde(MDA)were detected by colorimetry,the expression of ferroptosis related protein were detected by West-ern blot,and the content of ferrous ion(Fe2+)was detected by fluorescence probe.Finally,PK-15 cells were pretreated with 10 μmol/L HO-1 inhibitor zinc protoporphyrin(ZnPP)for 6 h,and then treated with 10 μmol/L CdCl2 for 12 h.The morphology of PK-15 cells was observed by phase contrast microscope and the expression of ferroptosis related proteins was detected by West-ern blot.The results showed that CdCl2 treatment caused a significant decrease in cell viability.The levels of LDH,MDA and Fe2+,the protein levels of Nrf2,HO-1 and ALOX5,and the expression level of FTH1 protein were significantly decreased in CdCl2 treatment cells(P<0.01).ZnPP could significantly improve the ferroptosis of PK-15 cells induced by CdCl2 treatment.Compared with CdCl2 treatment cells,the cell morphology was significantly improved,the protein levels of Nrf2,HO-1 and ALOX5 protein were significantly decreased,and the protein levels of FTH1 protein were significantly increased in ZnPP pretreatment group(P<0.01).The results showed that cad-mium induced iron overload and lipid peroxidation,which result in ferroptosis in PK-15 cells through Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.

Objective:To understand the effect of collagen peptides on the function of mouse lymphocytes under simulated microgravity.Methods:The splenocytes of mice were isolated,and the rotary cell culture system was used to simulate the microgravity.The T lymphocytes were stimulated with mitotic agents,concanavalin A(ConA),and the cells were treated with different concentrations of collagen peptides.The proliferation of lymphocytes and the levels of cytokines in the supernatant were detected.Results:Simulated microgravity could inhibit the proliferation of spleen T lymphocytes and decrease the level of cytokines in the supernatant.Collagen peptides could promote the lymphocyte proliferation and cytokine production in cells cultured under simulated microgravity.Conclusion:Collagen peptides may attenuate the inhibitory effect of simulated microgravity on T lymphocytes by regulating the cell proliferation and the secretion of cytokines.
