Objective Currently, there is no commercially available quantitative detection kit for the main Felis domestic allergen (Fel d 1) in China. To establish a rapid detection method for Fel d 1, this study aims to prepare monoclonal antibodies against Fel d 1 protein. Methods The codon preference of Escherichia coli was utilized to optimize and synthesize the Fel d 1 gene. The prokaryotic expression plasmid pET-28a-Fel d 1 was constructed and used to express and purify the recombinant Fel d 1 protein. Subsequently, the recombinant protein was immunized into BALB/c mice and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were prepared by the hybridoma technique. An indirect ELISA was established using the recombinant Fel d 1 as the coating antigen, and hybridoma cell lines were screened for positive clones. The specificity and antigenic epitopes of the mAbs were confirmed by Western blot analysis. Finally, the selected hybridoma cells were injected into the peritoneal cavities of BALB/c mice for large-scale monoclonal antibody production. Results The recombinant plasmid pET-28a-Fel d 1 was successfully constructed, and soluble Fel d 1 protein was obtained after optimizing the expression conditions. Western blot and antibody titer assays confirmed the successful isolation of two hybridoma cell lines, 7D11 and 5H4, which stably secreted mAbs specific to Fel d 1. Antibody characterization revealed that the 5H4 mAb was of the IgG2a subtype and could recognize the amino acid region 105-163 of Fel d 1, while the 7D11 mAb was the IgG1 subtype and could recognize the amino acid region 1-59. Conclusion The high-purity recombinant Fel d 1 protein produced in this study provides a promising alternative for clinical immunotherapy of cat allergies. Furthermore, the monoclonal antibody prepared in this experiment lays a material foundation for the in-depth study of the biological function of Fel d 1 and the development of ELISA detection.

Objective:To study the relationship between fluoride exposure and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)/cortisol (CORT) in rural children in eastern Henan, and to reveal the modifying effect of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene polymorphism.Methods:A total of 463 children aged 7 - 12 (245 boys and 218 girls) from 4 primary schools in Tongxu County, Henan Province were recruited by a cluster sampling method for questionnaire survey, physical examination, and collection of morning urine and fasting venous blood. The concentrations of urinary fluoride and creatinine were determined by a fluoride ion selective electrode method and picric acid method, respectively. Serum ACTH and CORT levels were determined with a fully automated biochemical analyzer, and the genotyping of BDNF gene loci of single nucleotide polymorphism was conducted by a customized 48-Plex SNPscan TM reagent kit. Besides, the relationships between urinary fluoride concentrations and serum ACTH/CORT levels in children were analyzed by multiple linear regression models. The interaction term between urinary fluoride concentration and BDNF gene polymorphism was established, and the interaction between unit point gene polymorphism and environment on serum ACTH or CORT levels of children was analyzed by multiple linear regression. Results:For every 1 mg/L increase in urinary fluoride concentration, serum ACTH level in girls increased by 1.98 pg/ml [95% confidence interval ( CI): 0.71, 3.24; P = 0.002], while serum CORT level in boys decreased by 37.48 ng/ml (95% CI: - 63.99, - 10.97; P = 0.006). Regardless of stratified analysis, the urinary fluoride concentration of individuals carrying the TA genotype at the rs6484320 locus was positively correlated with serum ACTH level (β > 0, P < 0.05); in addition, there was a positive correlation between urinary fluoride concentration and serum ACTH level in the total population and boys carrying the CC genotype of rs7103873 locus (β > 0, P < 0.05); and the serum ACTH and CORT levels in girls carrying the AA genotype of rs12291186 locus were positively correlated with urinary fluoride concentration (β > 0, P < 0.05). The interaction analysis showed that there was an interaction between urinary fluoride concentrations and rs6484320/rs7103873 loci polymorphisms on serum ACTH level in the total population and boys ( Pinteraction < 0.1), as well as urinary fluoride concentrations and rs12291186 locus polymorphism on serum CORT level in girls ( Pinteraction = 0.035). Conclusions:Urinary fluoride concentration is associated with increased serum ACTH level in girls and decreased serum CORT level in boys. BDNF gene polymorphism can modify the association between fluoride exposure and serum ACTH or CORT levels in children, and the modification effect varies by gender.

The prevalence of elderly dementia patients in our country is high, the course is long and the cost is high, the visiting rate is low and it is difficult to cure. The implementation of humanistic care to them is the essen-tial demands of medical spirits, also is a necessary supplement to the poor medical treatment and can also give more psychological support to patients and their families. Therefore, it should establish a sound service system, strength-en health education and cultivate professional accompanying staff, in order to enhance the quality of life of elderly dementia patients and improve the living conditions.
