    Abstract Background: Lipemia is one of common endogenous interferences that can compromises sample quality and potentially influence results of various laboratory methods. Determination of the lipemic index or triglyceride concentrations are used to define the degree of lipemia. This study was aimed to establish lipemic index (LI) and triglyceride thresholds above where significant interference exists for 31 immunoassay analytes measured on Roche Cobas 6000.
    Materials and methods: The study was carried out following CLSI C56-A and EP07-ED3:2018 guidelines using sample pools spiked with increasing concentrations of lipid emulsion solution, reaching 70 mmol/L. To define the LI and triglyceride thresholds, the bias from concentration in the native sample was calculated at different lipemia degree and compared with allowable error limits based on biological variation or state-of-the-art technology.
    Results: No lipemia interference was observed for 27 out of 31 analytes even at the highest concentrations of lipid emulsion (LI ranging from 1737 to 2086 mg/dL, triglyceride concentration 60.34-73.99 mmol/L). However, progesterone, 25-OH vitamin D, testosterone, and estradiol were negatively affected by lipemia at 217 mg/dL (9.58 mmol/L), 222 mg/dL (10.66 mmol/L), 478 mg/dL (18.81 mmol/L), and 941 mg/dL (35.82 mmol/L) of the LI (triglyceride concentration), respectively.
    Conclusion: Most immunoassays evaluated in this study were found to be robust to lipemia interference. By using these thresholds, laboratories can report the immunoassay results from analyzing a lipemic patient sample in many cases.

    Abstract Bi- or tri-specific T cell engagers (BiTE or TriTE) are recombinant bispecific proteins designed to stimulate T-cell immunity directly, bypassing antigen presentation by antigen-presenting cells (APCs). However, these molecules suffer from limitations such as short biological half-life and poor residence time in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Fortunately, these challenges can be overcome when combined with OVs. Various strategies have been developed, such as encoding secretory BiTEs within OV vectors, resulting in improved targeting and activation of T cells, secretion of key cytokines, and bystander killing of tumor cells. Additionally, oncolytic viruses armed with BiTEs have shown promising outcomes in enhancing major histocompatibility complex I antigen (MHC-I) presentation, T-cell proliferation, activation, and cytotoxicity against tumor cells. These combined approaches address tumor heterogeneity, drug delivery, and T-cell infiltration, offering a comprehensive and effective solution. This review article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of Bi- or TriTEs and OVs as promising therapeutic approaches in the field of cancer treatment. We summarize the cutting-edge advancements in oncolytic virotherapy immune-related genetic engineering, focusing on the innovative combination of BiTE or TriTE with OVs.

    Abstract COVID-19, an acute respiratory syndrome caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, was first reported in late 2019 in Wuhan, China, and rapidly escalated into a global pandemic. The condition can lead to organ dysfunction and ultimately death through its onset of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Disease severity has been linked to proinflammatory cytokines which activate the NF-κB and STAT transcription factors in infected cells. It has been proven that lncRNAs play a very important role in reducing or increasing inflammatory factors. This makes them potentially valuable in recognizing pathogenesis pathways and therapeutic targets in COVID-19. Nanocurcumin is known as an antioxidant, tumor suppressor and anti-inflammatory substance, and it can be effective to reduce inflammation caused by the disease of COVID-19. This study analyzed Sequence Read Archive data from COVID-19 patients with acute versus milder symptoms, identifying dysregulated genes and non-coding RNAs. To verify this correlation, the expression of the candidate gene was evaluated with quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) in mouse models, while immunoglobulin (Ig) G titer was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in mouse serum samples. Here we introduced a novel lncRNA called HSD17B3-AS1, suggested as a therapeutic target in COVID-19 patients with acute symptoms. Furthermore, we revealed nanocurcumin is reducing the expression of HSD17B3-AS1 which leads to reduced inflammation in mice. These results suggest that HSD17B3-AS1 plays a significant regulatory role in managing COVID-19, and the downregulation of HSD17B3-AS1 by Nanocurcumin presents a promising treatment option for minimizing complications in COVID-19 patients.

    Abstract Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is associated with a dismal prognosis in patients with cirrhosis, and therapeutic options are limited. Biomarkers to identify patients with poor response to therapy are urgently needed. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of serum levels of uromodulin (sUMOD) in patients with cirrhosis and HRS treated with terlipressin and albumin (T/A). In total, 156 patients [81 patients with HRS treated with T/A, 42 patients with cirrhosis without kidney injury, and 33 patients with cirrhosis with prerenal acute kidney injury (AKI)] were included. sUMOD levels were analyzed by ELISA. Patients with HRS were prospectively followed for the composite endpoint of hemodialysis-/liver transplantation-free survival (HD/LTx-free survival). Of the 81 patients with HRS, 40 had HRS type 1 and 41 type 2. In the cohort of patients with HRS treated with T/A, median sUMOD level was 100 ng/mL (IQR 64; 144). sUMOD differed significantly between patients with HRS compared with patients without AKI (

    Abstract Background & objectives: West Nile virus (WNV) is a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virion, that belongs to the Flaviviridae family. This virus is preserved in a bird-mosquito cycle that is capable of inducing diseases as a dead-end or endpoint host in humans as well as horses. In 2016, a suspicious case of crow population death was reported by the Department of Environment, Ministry of Health, Iran. Considering the mass migration of birds together with the WNV-related symptoms, including uncoordinated walking, ataxia, inability to fly, lack of awareness, and abnormal body posture, it was necessary to further investigate the possible causes of this incident. The objective of this study was molecular detection of WNV in crows utilizing the real-time PCR method in the northern provinces of Iran.
    Methods: A total of 12 crows (8 dead, 4 alive) with a possible WNV infection, were collected from the northern provinces of Iran (Golestan, Mazandaran, and Guilan). A tissue sample of the liver, kidney, or lung was collected from all the crows, and RNA was isolated using an RNA extraction kit. A one-step real-time PCR method using a TaqMan probe was used for virus detection.
    Results: All the infected crows were positive for WNV. The 132-bp real-time PCR amplicon of the genome was detected in all the samples. Comparative phylogenetic analysis revealed that WNV isolated from Iran clustered with strains from the USA, Hungary, and Culex pipiens.
    Interpretation & conclusion: The WNV genome sequence was detected in all the infected crows. The results confirmed the connection of this isolation with clade1a strains. Hence, determining the epidemiologic and prevalence characteristics of the WNV for transmission control is of critical importance in Iran.
