    Abstract Patients with anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (anti-MDA5) dermatomyositis (DM) have a higher risk of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. In this longitudinal observational study, we aimed to investigate the clinical and immunological features of these patients after COVID-19 infection. A total of 73 patients with anti-MDA5 DM were recruited from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University during the Omicron wave epidemic. Clinical data were collected by questionnaire survey and electronic medical records. Blood samples were used to determine the immunity responses. From December 9, 2022 to March 31, 2023, 67 patients were eligible for final analysis; 68.7% of them were infected with COVID-19. The most common symptoms observed in COVID-19 were upper respiratory symptoms, most cases were mild or moderate (97.8%). The clinical laboratory indexes were relativity stable in patients after infection (all p > 0.05). Vaccination is not a protective factor against the Omicron infection (odds ratio: 2.69, 95% confidence interval: 0.81-8.93, p = 0.105). Both wildtype (WT) neutralizing antibodies titer and BA.5-specific immunoglobulin G titer were significantly enhanced after infection (all p < 0.01), which was as high as healthy controls (HCs). The memory B-cell responses were similar between the patients with anti-MDA5 DM and HCs (p > 0.05). However, both the WT-specific CD8

    Abstract Background: The effective detection of pathogens is of great importance for the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases. We have proposed the novel RT-nestRPA technique for SARS-CoV-2 detection, which is a rapid RNA detection technique with ultra-high sensitivity.
    Results: The RT-nestRPA technology has a sensitivity of 0.5 copies/uL of synthetic RNA targeting the ORF7a/7b/8 gene or 1 copy/uL synthetic RNA targeting the N gene of SARS-CoV-2. The entire detection process of RT-nestRPA only takes only 20 min, which is significantly shorter than RT-qPCR (nearly 100 min). Additionally, RT-nestRPA is capable of detecting dual genes of SARS-CoV-2 and human RPP30 simultaneously in one reaction tube. The excellent specificity of RT-nestRPA was verified by analyzing twenty-two SARS-CoV-2 unrelated pathogens. Furthermore, RT-nestRPA had great performance in detecting samples treated with cell lysis buffer without RNA extraction. The innovative double-layer reaction tube for RT-nestRPA can prevent aerosol contamination and simplify the reaction operation. Moreover, the ROC analysis revealed that RT-nestRPA had high diagnostic value (AUC = 0.98), while the AUC of RT-qPCR was 0.75.
    Significance: Our current findings suggested that RT-nestRPA could serve as a novel technology for nucleic acid detection of pathogens with rapid and ultrahigh sensitive features used in various medical application scenarios.

    Abstract Background: Lipoprotein(a) is a possible causal risk factor for atherosclerosis and related complications. The distribution and prognostic implication of lipoprotein(a) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting remain unknown. This study aimed to assess the impact of high lipoprotein(a) on the long-term prognosis of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.
    Methods and results: Consecutive patients with stable coronary artery disease who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting from January 2013 to December 2018 from a single-center cohort were included. The primary outcome was all-cause death. The secondary outcome was a composite of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. Of the 18 544 patients, 4072 (22.0%) were identified as the high-lipoprotein(a) group (≥50 mg/dL). During a median follow-up of 3.2 years, primary outcomes occurred in 587 patients. High lipoprotein(a) was associated with increased risk of all-cause death (high lipoprotein(a) versus low lipoprotein(a): adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.31 [95% CI, 1.09-1.59];
    Conclusions: More than 1 in 5 patients with stable coronary artery disease who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting were exposed to high lipoprotein(a), which is associated with higher risks of death and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. The adverse effects of lipoprotein(a) were more pronounced in patients with clinically low-risk profiles or not receiving arterial grafts.

    Abstract Aims: We aimed to investigate the independent and combined association of the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and EuroSCORE II with major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and examine whether the addition of the TyG index improves the predictive performance of the EuroSCORE II.
    Materials and methods: This study included 1013 patients who underwent CABG. The primary endpoint was MACE, which was defined as the composite of all-cause death, repeat coronary artery revascularisation, non-fatal myocardial infarction and non-fatal stroke. The patients were grouped by the TyG index and EuroSCORE II tertiles and the combination of these risk indicators.
    Results: During the follow-up, 211 individuals developed MACE. Elevated levels of the TyG index and EuroSCORE II were associated with an increased risk of MACE. The hazard ratio [95% confidence interval (CI)] was 3.66 (2.34-5.73) in patients with the highest tertile of the TyG index and EuroSCORE II. Compared with the EuroSCORE II alone, combining the TyG index with EuroSCORE II achieved a better predictive performance [C-statistic increased 0.032, p < 0.001; continuous net reclassification improvement (NRI) (95% CI): 0.364 (0.215-0.514), p < 0.001; integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) (95% CI): 0.015 (0.007-0.023), p < 0.001, Akaike's information criteria (AIC) and Bayesian information criterion (BIC) decreased, and the likelihood ratio test, p < 0.001].
    Conclusions: The TyG index and EuroSCORE II are independently associated with poor prognosis. Furthermore, the TyG index is an important adjunct to the EuroSCORE II for improving risk stratification and guiding early intervention among post-CABG patients.

    Abstract Climate policies that achieve air quality co-benefits can better align developing countries' national interests with global climate mitigation. Since the effects of air pollutants are highly dependent on source locations, spatially nuanced policies are crucial to maximizing the achievement of co-benefits. Using the coal power industry as a case study, this study presents an interdisciplinary approach to assessing facility level co-benefits at every specific source location in China. We find that co-benefits range from US$51-$278 per ton CO

    Abstract Background: Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) has become a big threaten to global health. The current strategy for treatment of MDR-TB and extensive drug resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) is with low efficacy and high side effect. While new drug is fundamental for cure MDR-TB, repurposing the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs represents an alternative soluation with less cost.
    Methods: The activity of 8 tetracycline-class antibiotics against mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) were determined by Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) in vitro. A transposon M.smeg libraries was generated by using the Harm phage and then used to isolate the conditional growth mutants in doxycycline containing plate. Eleven mutants were isolated and genomic DNAs were extracted using the cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) method and analyzed by whole genome sequencing.
    Results: We found that three of eight drugs efficiently inhibited mycobacteria growth under the peak plasma concentration in the human body. Further tests showed these three tetracycline analogs (demeclocycline, doxycycline and methacycline) had antimicrobial activity against seven clinical isolates, including MDR and XDR strains. Among them, Doxycycline had the lowest MICs in all mycobacteria strains tested in this study. By using a transposon library, we identify the insertion of transposon in two genes, porin and MshA, associatewith the resistant to doxycycline.
    Conclusions: Our findings show that tetracycline analogs such as doxycycline, has bactericidal activity against not only drug sensitive M.tb, but also clinical MDR and XDR strains, provided proof of concept to repurpose doxycycline to fight MDR-TB and XDR-TB. Further investigations are warranted to clarify the underlying mechanism and optimize the strategy in combination with other anti-TB drugs.

    Abstract Deoxynivalenol (DON) is an important Fusarium mycotoxin commonly detected in foods and feeds, which has drawn global attention because of its high contamination level and frequency. Applying microbial antagonists to inhibit fungal DON synthesis and detoxification of DON into low toxic metabolites are biological approaches to eliminate DON via an environment friendly manner. Therefore, it is essential to review the latest research work on Fusarium biocontrol and DON bio-detoxification. We summarized recent reported microbial and enzymatic methods for DON elimination. The microbial antagonists on Fusarium control and DON detoxification microbes/enzymes, as well as their control mechanisms were systematically reviewed. In addition, we highlighted the potentials of biological methods for DON elimination and discussed novel approaches for DON detoxification enzymes discovery guided by computational strategy. Successful cases of controlling DON producing fungi by microbial antagonists and detoxifying DON by microbes and enzymes were reported in the past several years, which would provide new opportunities to eliminate mycotoxin DON and promote large-scale usage of bio control-based methods. On the other hand, registration and technical difficulties in practical application should be comprehensively considered and solved in future. Additionally, we proposed a conceptual framework of combining the computational tools with multi omics approaches for DON detoxification enzymes discovery, which could provide a new foundation for future mycotoxin detoxification research.
