Virus-like particles(VLPs)are nanoparticles that are self-assembled from one or more structural proteins,which can be arranged in several layers or contain a lipid outer membrane.Due to the lack of genetic material,VLPs cannot infect host cells,but are highly immunogenic and can induce immune responses different from conventional inactivated vaccines.VLPs can be produced using a variety of systems including bacterial,yeast,plant,insect and mammalian cells.Compared with traditional vaccines,VLPs have incomparable advantages,so they are becoming more and more popular in the biomedical field.To date,a series of vaccine candi-dates based on VLPs have been developed for immunization and prevention of various infectious diseases.At the same time,the recent successful application of VLPs in targeted drug delivery and gene therapy has attracted attention.This paper mainly reviews the com-monly used expression systems of VLPs and the research progress of their applications.

ObjectiveTo explore the therapeutic effect and mechanism of intermittent theta burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (iTBS) on non-fluent aphasia after stroke. MethodsFrom August, 2021 to August, 2022, 50 patients with non-fluent aphasia after stroke in the First People's Hospital of Lianyungang were randomly divided into sham stimulation group (n = 25) and iTBS group (n = 25). Both groups accepted speach training. iTBS group accepted iTBS, and the sham stimulation group received sham iTBS, for four weeks. The serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) was measured, and they were assessed by China Rehabilitation Research Center Standard Aphasia Examination (CRRCAE) and Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination before and after treatment. ResultsTwo cases in the sham stimulation group and three cases in iTBS group dropped down. The BDNF level, and listen and understand, repeat, name, read aloud, and total score of CRRCAE improved in two groups after treatment (|t| > 5.012, P < 0.001); and they were better in iTBS group than in the sham stimulation group (|t| > 3.968, P < 0.001). The total effective rate was more in iTBS group than in the sham stimulation group (χ2 = 8.835, P < 0.05). ConclusioniTBS can improve speech function in patients with non-fluent aphasia after stroke, which may associate with the promotion of BDNF.

BACKGROUND:
The clinical features of enthesitis in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) have been reported in some Western countries, but data in China are very limited. This study aimed to describe the characteristics of enthesitis in Chinese patients with PsA and compared them with those in other cohorts.
METHODS:
Patients with PsA enrolled in the Chinese Registry of Psoriatic Arthritis (CREPAR) (December 2018 to June 2021) were included. Data including demographics, clinical characteristics, disease activity measures, and treatment were collected at enrollment. Enthesitis was assessed by the Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada (SPARCC), Maastricht ankylosing spondylitis enthesitis score (MASES), and Leeds enthesitis index (LEI) indices. A multivariable logistic model was used to identify factors related to enthesitis. We also compared our results with those of other cohorts.
RESULTS:
In total, 1074 PsA patients were included, 308 (28.7%) of whom had enthesitis. The average number of enthesitis was 3.3 ± 2.8 (range: 1.0-18.0). More than half of the patients (165, 53.6%) had one or two tender entheseal sites. Patients with enthesitis had an earlier age of onset for both psoriasis and arthritis, reported a higher proportion of PsA duration over 5 years, and had a higher percentage of axial involvement and greater disease activity. Multivariable logistic regression showed that axial involvement (odds ratio [OR] 2.21, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.59-3.08; P <0.001), psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) (OR: 1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.04; P = 0.002), and disease activity score 28-C reactive protein (DAS28-CRP) (OR: 1.25, 95% CI: 1.01-1.55; P = 0.037) were associated with enthesitis. Compared with the results of other studies, Chinese patients with enthesitis had a younger age, lower body mass index (BMI), a higher rate of positive human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27, more frequent dactylitis, and a higher proportion of conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs' (csDMARDs) use.
CONCLUSIONS
Enthesitis is a common condition among Chinese patients with PsA. It is important to evaluate entheses in both peripheral and axial sites.

Background Kunming is a plateau city with sufficient sunshine, high ultraviolet intensity, and strong radiation. In recent years, ozone (O3) pollution has gradually become the primary problem of air pollution in the city. Objective To evaluate the health effects of atmospheric O3 exposure on non-accidental deaths in Kunming. Methods The data of meteorological variables (average temperature, average relative humidity, average air pressure, and average wind speed), air pollutants (PM2.5, PM10, SO2, CO, and O3) and non-accidental deaths (NAD) of residents were collected in Kunming from 2017 to 2019. A generalized additive model was adopted to conduct time-series analyses on the current-day (lag0), single-day (lag1-lag3), and cumulative lag (lag01-lag03) effects of O3 on NAD; furthermore, hierarchical analyses by gender, age, and season (warm and cold) were conducted. Results The average concentration of O3-8h from 2017 to 2019 was (84.3±32.3) μg·m−3. For every 10 μg·m−3 increase in O3-8h concentration, the NAD risks of lag0, lag01, and lag02 of total population increased by 0.70% (95%CI: 0.11%-1.29%) 0.79% (95%CI: 0.14%-1.44%), and 0.75% (95%CI: 0.08%-1.43%), respectively; for women, the NAD risks of lag2 and lag02 increased by 0.80% (95%CI: 0.08%-1.53%) and 1.05% (95%CI: 0.09%-2.03%) respectively; for the residents over the age of 65, the associated NAD risks of lag0, lag01, and lag02 increased by 0.82% (95%CI: 0.16%-1.48%), 0.93% (95%CI: 0.20%-1.67%), and 0.96% (95%CI: 0.20%-1.73%), respectively; in the warm season, the NAD risks of lag0, lag01, and lag02 increased by 0.91% (95%CI: 0.12%-1.70%), 0.98% (95%CI: 0.12%-1.86%), and 1.00% (95%CI: 0.07%-1.93%), respectively; After introducing PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NO2, and CO to the model, the effects of O3 exposure level on resident’s NAD was not statistically significant. Conclusion An increase of O3 exposure level associates with an increase of NAD risk in residents, and there is a lag effect. Residents over the age of 65, women, and all residents in warm season may be more sensitive to O3 exposure.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between psoriasis severity and clinical features in psoriatic arthritis (PsA).Methods:Patients were recruited from the Chinese REgistry of Psoriatic ARthritis (CREPAR) between December 2018 and June 2021, and data were collected including the baseline demographic characteristics, various clinical manifestations (including arthritis, nail disease, comorbidities), laboratory tests[including erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP)], health assessment questionnaire (HAQ). Body surface area (BSA) and psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) were selected for the tools of assessment of cutaneous psoriasis. Patients were divided to two groups, including the severe psoriasis group (BSA>10%) and the non-severe psoriasis group (BSA≤10%). Disease assessment included ankylosing spondylitis disease activity score (ASDAS), disease activity score 28 (DAS28) and disease activity in psoriatic arthritis (DAPSA).Results:1 074 eligible patients with PsA were recruited, and 106 (9.9%) had severe psoriasis. Compared with non-severe psoriasis group, the severe psoriasis group had more peripheral joint involvement (including patients with ever or current peripheral arthritis, 94.3% vs. 85.6%), more polyarticular joint involvement (including patients with current peripheral arthritis, 74.0% vs. 58.2%), more axial joint involvement (51.4% vs. 39.9%), more nail disease (72.6% vs. 61.4%), more frequency of smoking (20.2% vs. 18.7%), and higher proportion of hypertension (23.4% vs. 14.4%). In addition, the severe psoriasis group had higher level of ESR [33(10, 70) mm/1h vs. 20(9, 38) mm/1h] and CRP [18.6(5.0, 60.8) mg/L vs. 7.0(2.4, 18.1) mg/L], higher values of DAS28-ESR (4.5±1.7 vs. 3.7±1.5), DAS28-CRP (4.2±1.5 vs. 3.4±1.4), ASDAS-ESR (3.5±1.4 vs. 2.6±1.2), and ASDAS-CRP(3.4±1.6 vs. 2.5±1.2), higher scores of HAQ [0.6(0.1, 1.0) vs. 0.3(0.0, 0.8)].Conclusion:Patients with PsA with severe psoriasis bore a heavier disease burden. Therefore, clinicians were supposed to pay more attention to them. In addition to skin lesions, they should also focus on examination of other clinical manifestations, such as joints and nails.

OBJECTIVE:To study the inhibi tory effects of genistein on the growth of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma. CNE 1 cells and predict its potential target. METHODS :CCK-8 method was used to test the effects of 0(blank control ),12.5,25,50, 100,150 µmol/L genistein on the proliferation of CNE 1 cells after treated for 24,48,72 h. Flow cytometry was carried out to detect the effects of 0(blank control ),15,30,60 µmol/L genistein on the cell cycle and ap optosis of CNE 1 cells after treated for 24 h. Scratch test was used to investigate the effects of 0(blank control ), 10, 20, 30 µmol/L genistein on themigration ability of CNE 1 cells after treated for 24 h. High (No.18210156) throughput sequencing was conducted to discover the differential genes in CNE 1 cells after treated with 0(blankcontrol),30 µmol/L genistein for 24 h. RT-qPCR assay was adopted to verify the mRNA expression of related differential genes in above trials. RESULTS : Compared with blank control,12.5,25,50,100,150 µmol/L genistein sho wed significant inhibitory effect on the proliferation of CNE 1 cells(P< 0.01),in a concentration- time-effect manner ;15,30 µmol/L genistein could arrest CNE 1 cell cycle at G 0/G1 stage(P<0.05 or P< 0.01);30,60 µmol/L could arrest CNE 1 cell cycle at G 2/M stage and promoted cell apoptosis (P<0.05 or P<0.01). 10,20,30 µmol/L genistein could significantly inhibit the migration ability of CNE 1 cells(padj<0.01). High throughput sequencing revealed a total of 2 271 differentialgenes(P<0.05),1 154 of which were up-regulated while 1 117 of which were down-regulated ;8 potential target genes ,including p53,p21,STC2,FGF2,CDK6,CYCLIN D ,PI3K,AKT,were screened by cell experiment. After validated by RT-qPCR assay ,mRNA expression of p53,p21,STC2,FGF2,CDK6,CYCLIN D and AKT were significantly down-regulated(P<0.05),which consistent with the sequencing results. CONCLUSIONS :Genistein can effectively inhibit the growth of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE 1 cells,the mechanism of which may associated with inhibiting the expression of mutant gene p53,restoring the function of wild-type P 53 protein and inhibiting the activity of PI 3K/Akt pathway.
