    Abstract Introduction: Research shows the correlation between angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) deletion and insertion (D/I) polymorphism and COVID-19 risk; yet, conclusive evidence is still lacking. Thus, a meta-analysis of relevant articles was performed to more accurately estimate the relationship of ACE I/D polymorphism with the risk of COVID-19.
    Results: The meta-analysis eventually contained 8 studies, including 1362 COVID-19 cases and 4312 controls. Based on the data, the ACE I/D polymorphism did not show an association with COVID-19 risk (D vs. I: OR = 1.25, 95% CI = 0.96-1.64; DD vs. II: OR = 1.89, 95% CI = 0.95-3.74; DI vs. II: OR = 1.75, 95% CI = 0.92-3.31; dominant model: OR = 1.88, 95% CI = 0.99-3.53; and recessive model: OR = 1.24, 95% CI = 0.81-1.90). Further, subgroup analyses stratified based on case proved that the ACE D allele demonstrated an association with increasing risk of COVID-19 severity (D vs. I: OR = 1.64, 95% CI = 1.01-2.66; DD vs. II: OR = 4.62, 95% CI = 2.57-8.30; DI vs. II: OR = 3.07, 95% CI = 1.75-5.38; dominant model: OR = 3.74, 95% CI = 2.15-6.50; and recessive model: OR = 1.28, 95% CI = 0.46-3.51).
    Conclusions: The ACE D allele was clearly related to an enhanced risk of COVID-19 severity. Hence, it is imperative to take into account the influence of genetic factors during the development of future vaccines.

    Abstract Objective: This case-control study focused on the establishment and internal validation of a risk nomogram for intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)-resistant Kawasaki disease (KD) using the Kawasaki Disease Database.
    Methods: The Kawasaki Disease Database is the first public database for KD researchers. A prediction nomogram for IVIG-resistant KD was constructed using multivariable logistic regression. Then, the C-index was used to assess the discriminating ability of the proposed prediction model, a calibration plot was drawn to evaluate its calibration, and a decision curve analysis was adopted to assess its clinical usefulness. Bootstrapping validation was performed for interval validation.
    Results: The median ages of IVIG-resistant and -sensitive KD groups were 3.3 and 2.9 years, respectively. Predicting factors incorporated into the nomogram were coronary artery lesions, C-reactive protein, percentage of neutrophils, platelets, aspartate aminotransferase, and alanine transaminase. Our constructed nomogram exhibited favorable discriminating ability (C-index: 0.742; 95% confidence interval: 0.673-0.812) and excellent calibration. Moreover, interval validation achieved a high C-index of 0.722.
    Conclusions: The as-constructed new IVIG-resistant KD nomogram that incorporated C-reactive protein, coronary artery lesions, platelets, percentage of neutrophils, alanine transaminase, and aspartate aminotransferase may be adopted for predicting the risk of IVIG-resistant KD.

    Abstract Visualization of proteins in living cells using GFP (Green Fluorescent Protein) and other fluorescent tags has greatly improved understanding of protein localization, dynamics, and function. Compared to immunofluorescence, live imaging more accurately reflects protein localization without potential artifacts arising from tissue fixation. Importantly, live imaging enables quantitative and temporal characterization of protein levels and localization, crucial for understanding dynamic biological processes such as cell movement or division. However, a major limitation of fluorescent tagging approaches is the need for sufficiently high protein expression levels to achieve successful visualization. Consequently, many endogenously tagged fluorescent proteins with relatively low expression levels cannot be detected. On the other hand, ectopic expression using viral promoters can sometimes lead to protein mislocalization or functional alterations in physiological contexts. To address these limitations, an approach is presented that utilizes highly sensitive antibody-mediated protein detection in living embryos, essentially performing immunofluorescence without the need for tissue fixation. As proof of principle, endogenously GFP-tagged Notch receptor that is barely detectable in living embryos can be successfully visualized after antibody injection. Furthermore, this approach was adapted to visualize post-translational modifications (PTMs) in living embryos, allowing the detection of temporal changes in tyrosine phosphorylation patterns during early embryogenesis and revealing a novel subpopulation of phosphotyrosine (p-Tyr) underneath apical membranes. This approach can be modified to accommodate other protein-specific, tag-specific, or PTM-specific antibodies and should be compatible with other injection-amenable model organisms or cell lines. This protocol opens new possibilities for live imaging of low-abundance proteins or PTMs that were previously challenging to detect using traditional fluorescent tagging methods.

    Abstract Some studies have estimated the diagnostic value of procalcitonin (PCT) for Kawasaki disease (KD), but the results are not always consistent. The aim of this study was to ascertain the diagnostic value of PCT for KD.
    Relevant and eligible articles assessing the diagnostic significance of PCT in KD were systematically searched from PubMed as well as the CNKI databases (last update: October 31, 2020), followed by bivariate models to evaluate the overall diagnostic significance of PCT in KD. This systematic review and meta-analysis included four articles.
    The overall diagnostic specificity and sensitivity were 0.78 (95% CI: 0.74-0.82) and 0.73 (95% CI: 0.69-0.76), respectively. The area under the summary receiver operating characteristic (sROC) curve (AUC) was 0.82. The negative likelihood ratio (NLR) and positive likelihood ratio (PLR) values for PCT were 0.34 and 3.23, respectively.
    By analyzing the accessible articles, we showed PCT is not a particularly useful test for KD diagnosis.

    Abstract Introduction. Research shows the correlation between angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) deletion and insertion (D/I) polymorphism and COVID-19 risk; yet, conclusive evidence is still lacking. Thus, a meta-analysis of relevant articles was performed to more accurately estimate the relationship of ACE I/D polymorphism with the risk of COVID-19. Material and Methods. Relevant literature from the PubMed database was systematically reviewed, and odds ratios (ORs) and associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were measured. Additionally, the metapackage from Stata version 15.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results. The meta-analysis eventually contained 8 studies, including 1362 COVID-19 cases and 4312 controls. Based on the data, the ACE I/D polymorphism did not show an association with COVID-19 risk (D vs. I: OR=1.25, 95% CI=0.96–1.64; DD vs. II: OR=1.89, 95% CI=0.95–3.74; DI vs. II: OR=1.75, 95% CI=0.92–3.31; dominant model: OR=1.88, 95% CI=0.99–3.53; and recessive model: OR=1.24, 95% CI=0.81–1.90). Further, subgroup analyses stratified based on case proved that the ACE D allele demonstrated an association with increasing risk of COVID-19 severity (D vs. I: OR=1.64, 95% CI=1.01–2.66; DD vs. II: OR=4.62, 95% CI=2.57–8.30; DI vs. II: OR=3.07, 95% CI=1.75–5.38; dominant model: OR=3.74, 95% CI=2.15–6.50; and recessive model: OR=1.28, 95% CI=0.46–3.51). Conclusions. The ACE D allele was clearly related to an enhanced risk of COVID-19 severity.

    Abstract Background: This study aimed to gather evidence from clinical trials on the efficacy and safety of the available treatments for intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)-resistant Kawasaki disease (KD) in children.
    Methods: This work adopted the Newcastle-Ottawa scale to analyse the quality of the enrolled articles. A network meta-analysis was performed using clinical trials that compared drugs used to treat IVIG-resistant KD. Aggregate Data Drug Information System software v.1.16.5 was employed to analyse whether infliximab, second IVIG infusions, and intravenous pulse methylprednisolone (IVMP) were safe and effective.
    Results: Ten studies, involving 704 patients with IVIG-resistant KD, were identified and analysed. Overall, infliximab exhibited remarkable antipyretic activity compared with the second IVIG infusions (2.46, 1.00-6.94). According to the drug rank, infliximab was the best option against IVIG-resistant KD. Regarding adverse effects, the infliximab group was more prone to hepatomegaly. A second IVIG infusion was more likely to result in haemolytic anaemia. IVMP treatment was more susceptible to bradycardia, hyperglycaemia, hypertension, and hypothermia. In addition, infliximab, IVMP, and the second IVIG infusions showed no significant differences in the risk of developing a coronary artery aneurysm (CAA).
    Conclusion: Infliximab was the best option against IVIG-resistant KD, and IVMP, infliximab, and second IVIG infusions have not significant differences of prevent CAA in patients with IVIG-resistant KD.
