ObjectiveTo determine the serum antibody level and risk factors in the adolescent population in a county in Zhejiang Province, following the immunization with inactivated COVID-19 vaccine, and to construct a prediction model for antibody concentration. MethodsWe conducted the study in a county in Zhejiang Province, employing a stratified cluster random sampling strategy in school children who had received the inactivated COVID-19 vaccine. Data on gender, age, type of vaccine, and time of vaccination was collected. Serum samples were also collected to test for anti-S and N IgG antibody against the SARS-CoV-2 by using chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA). Risk factors were determined to construct a prediction model for antibody concentration. ResultsThe IgG antibody concentration was significantly higher in girls, those who received two doses, and those who had simply received the KX vaccine . It decreased with age and time interval between the sampling and last vaccination. The prediction model constructed by random forest regression in the study had a better model fit and predictive ability than that by the multivariable linear stepwise regression. ConclusionGender, age, vaccination dose, type of vaccine, and time of vaccination are associated with vaccination effectiveness of inactivated COVID-19 vaccines in adolescents. Prediction model could predict the antibody level in the vaccinated population, which can provide a new tool for better evaluation of vaccination effectiveness against emerging infectious diseases in future.

Standardized reporting is a crucial factor affecting the use of patient guidelines (PGs), particularly in the reporting and presentation of recommendations. This paper introduced the current status of PG reporting, including the research on PG content and presentation formats, and provided comprehensive recommendations for PG reporting from aspects such as overall framework, recommendations, presentation format, and readability. First, the presentation of PG recommendations should include clearly defined clinical questions, recommendations and their rationale, and guidance on how patients should implement the interventions; for specific content in the PG, such as level of evidence, level of recommendation, it is recommended to explain in text the reasons for giving different levels of recommendation, i.e., to present the logic behind giving the level of recommendation to the patient; additional information needed in the recommendation framework should be supplemented by tracing references or authoritative textbooks and literature that support the recommendations. Subsequently, the PG text should be written based on the Reporting Checklist for Public Versions of Guidelines (RIGHT-PVG) reporting framework. Finally, to enhance readability and comprehension, it is recommended to refer to the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT) for translating PG content. To enhance the readability of PGs, it is suggested to present the PG content in a persona-lized and layered manner.

BACKGROUND:Osteoporosis is often accompanied by sarcopenia and an increased risk of fractures from falls.Recent studies have indicated a close relationship between lipid metabolism and sarcopenia.Abnormal lipid metabolism may directly impact muscle physiological function and metabolism. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the relationship between lipid metabolism and sarcopenia and evaluate their causal relationship using Mendelian randomization. METHODS:Mendelian randomization was used to explore the causal relationship between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol,triglycerides,and muscle mass.Research data from genome-wide association studies were used and a sensitivity analysis was conducted to verify the reliability of the results.Approximate indicators of muscle mass,including trunk lean mass and appendicular lean mass,were used as outcome measures. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The study found a negative correlation of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides with muscle mass,while no correlation was observed between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and muscle mass.The results of the sensitivity analysis indicated a robust causal relationship.Using Mendelian randomization,this study provides evidence of a causal relationship between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides and muscle mass.This finding deepens our understanding of the effects of lipids on sarcopenia and has important clinical implications for the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia and osteoporosis.

Objective To prepare mouse monoclonal antibodies against the ectodomain of E2 (E2ecto) glycoprotein of Western equine encephalitis virus (WEEV). Methods A prokaryotic expression plasmid pET-28a-WEEV E2ecto was constructed and transformed into BL21 (DE3) competent cells. E2ecto protein was expressed by IPTG induction and presented mainly as inclusion bodies. Then the purified E2ecto protein was prepared by denaturation, renaturation and ultrafiltration. BALB/c mice were immunized with the formulated E2ecto protein using QuickAntibody-Mouse5W as an adjuvant via intramuscular route, boosted once at an interval of 21 days. At 35 days post-immunization, mice with antibody titer above 1×104 were inoculated with E2ecto intraperitoneally, and spleen cells were fused with SP2/0 cells three days later. Hybridoma cells secreting specific monoclonal antibodies were screened by the limited dilution method, and ascites were prepared after intraperitoneal inoculation of hybridoma cells. The subtypes and titers of the antibodies in ascites were assayed by ELISA. The biological activity of the mAb was identified by immunofluorescence assay(IFA) on BHK-21 cells which were transfected with eukaryotic expression plasmid pCAGGS-WEEV-CE3E2E1. The specificity of the antibodies were evaluated with E2ecto proteins from EEEV and VEEV. Results Purified WEEV E2ecto protein was successfully expressed and obtained. Four monoclonal antibodies, 3G6G10, 3D7G2, 3B9E8 and 3D5B7, were prepared, and their subtypes were IgG2c(κ), IgM(κ), IgM(κ) and IgG1(κ), respectively. The titers of ascites antibodies 3G6G10, 3B9E8 and 3D7G2 were 105, and 3D5B7 reached 107. None of the four antibody strains cross-reacted with other encephalitis alphavirus such as VEEV and EEEV. Conclusion Four strains of mouse mAb specifically binding WEEV E2ecto are successfully prepared.

Since the concept of patient versions of guidelines (PVGs) was introduced into China, several PVGs have been published in China, but we found that there is a big difference between the concept of PVG at home and abroad, and the reason for this difference has not been reasonably explained, which has led to ambiguity and even misapplication of the PVG concept by guideline developers. By analyzing the background and purpose of PVGs, and the understanding of the PVG concept by domestic scholars, we proposed the term patient guidelines (PGs). This refers to guidelines developed under the principles of evidence-based medicine, centered on health issues that concern patients, and based on the best available evidence, intended for patient use. Except for the general attribute of providing information or education, which is typical of common health education materials, PGs also provide recommendations and assist in decision-making, so PGs include both the patient versions of guidelines (PVG) as defined by the Guidelines International Network (GIN) and "patient-directed guidelines", i.e. clinical practice guidelines resulting from the adaptation or reformulation of recommendations through clinical practice guidelines.

At present, the process and methodology of patient guidelines (PGs) development varies greatly and lacks systematic and standardised guidance. In addition to the interviews with PG developers, we have sorted out the relevant methodology for the adaptation and development of existing clinical practice guideline recommendations and facilitated expert deliberations to achieve a consensus, so as to finally put forward a proposal for guidance on the process and methodology for the development of PGs. The development of PGs can be divided into the preparation stage, the construction stage, and the completion stage in general, but the specific steps vary according to the different modes of development of PGs. The development process of Model 1 is basically the same as the patient version of the guideline development process provided by the International Guidelines Network, i.e., team formation, screening of recommendations, guideline drafing, user testing and feedback, approval and dissemination. The developer should also first determine the need for and scope of translating the clinical practice guideline into a patient version during the preparation phase. Model 2 adds user experience and feedback to the conventional clinical practice guideline development process (forming a team, determining the scope of the PG, searching, evaluating and integrating evidence, forming recommendations, writing the guideline, and expert review). Based on the different models, we sort out the process and methods of PG development and introduce the specific methods of PG development, including how to identify the clinical problem and how to form recommendations based on the existing clinical practice guidelines, with a view to providing reference for guideline developers and related researchers.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Dahuang Mudantang in alleviating the intestinal injury in the rat model of acute pancreatitis via the high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1)/receptor for advanced glycation endproduct (RAGE)/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway. MethodOne hundred and twenty SPF-grade Wistar rats received retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the biliopancreatic duct for the modeling of intestinal injury in acute pancreatitis. The rats were randomized into blank, model, low-, medium-, and high-dose (3.5, 7, 14 g·kg-1, administrated by gavage) Dahuang Mudantang, and octreotide (1×10-5 g·kg-1, subcutaneous injection) groups (n=20). The rats in blank and model groups received equal volume of distilled water by gavage. Drugs were administered 1 h before and every 12 h after modeling, and samples were collected 24 h after modeling. The general status of the rats was observed. The biochemical methods were employed to measure the levels of amylase (AMS) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in the serum. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed to measure the levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 in the colon tissue. The morphological changes of pancreatic and colon tissues were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot were employed to measure the expression levels of HMGB1, RAGE, inhibitor of NF-κB kinase (IKK), and NF-κB suppressor protein α(IκBα)in the colon tissue. ResultThe rats in the model group showed poor general survival, writhing response, reduced frequency of defecation, and dry stool. The symptoms of rats in the model group were mitigated in each treatment group, and the high-dose Dahuang Mudantang showed the most significant effect. Compared with the normal group, the model group had elevated AMS and CRP levels (P<0.05), which were lowered by Dahuang Mudantang (P<0.05), especially that at the high dose (P<0.05). Compared with the normal group, the modeling elevated that levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 (P<0.05). Such elevations were lowered by Dahuang Mudantang (P<0.05), and the high-dose group and the octreotide group showed better performance (P<0.05). The modeling caused necrotic, congested, and destructed pancreatic and colonic tissues, which were ameliorated by the drugs, especially high-dose Dahuang Mudantang. Compared with the normal group, the modeling up-regulated the mRNA levels of HMGB1, RAGE, IKK, IκBα, and NF-κB (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, Dahuang Mudantang and octreotide down-regulated the mRNA levels of HMGB1, RAGE, IKK, IκBα, and NF-κB (P<0.05), and the high-dose Dahuang Mudantang demonstrated the best performance (P<0.05). Western blot results showed a trend consistent with the results of Real-time PCR. ConclusionDahuang Mudantang can improved the general status, reduce inflammation, and alleviate histopathological changes in the pancreatic and colon tissues in the rat model of acute pancreatitis by inhibiting the HMGB1/RAGE/NF-κB signaling pathway.
