    Abstract Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome caused by an infection progressing to sepsis-associated organ failure (such as lung injury). Our previous review revealed that Astragaloside IV (ASI-IV), one of the primary bioactive ingredients in Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch) Bge (Huang-Qi), had been shown to exert anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. Nevertheless, it is still unclear whether ASI-IV could attenuate septic lung injury via activating regulatory T-cells (Tregs). This study was designed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of ASI-IV on sepsis-induced lung injury and to further explore its underlying mechanism. In the murine models of cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced sepsis, ASI-IV can markedly improve the survival rate and reduce inflammatory lung injury, protect mice against exacerbated inflammatory responses by decreasing myeloid cell infiltration and down-regulating IL-6 and TNF-α in lung tissue. Meanwhile, Treg cell-related gene expression, including Foxp3 and IL-10, significantly increased after ASI-IV treatment. Furthermore, ASI-IV notably promoted the differentiation of naïve CD4

    Abstract Introduction: This study sought to explore the immunogenicity of a booster dose of an inactivated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and identify the factors affecting the magnitude of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels.
    Materials and methods: A total of 34 people living with HIV (PLWH) and 34 healthy donors (HD) were administered a booster dose of the same SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody and immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels were measured using the SARS-CoV-2 S protein neutralizing antibody Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and 2019-nCov IgG Chemiluminescent Immunoassay Microparticles, respectively. Spearman correlation analysis was used to measure the correlation between laboratory markers and neutralizing antibody and IgG levels. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were extracted from each subject using density gradient centrifugation and the numbers of memory T and T follicular helper (Tfh) cells were determined using flow cytometry.
    Results: PLWH had a marked reduction in CD4 and B cell levels that was accompanied by a lower CD4/CD8 T cell ratio. However, those who received a supplementary dose of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccines exhibited antibody positivity rates that were analogous to levels previously observed. The booster vaccine led to a reduction in IgG and neutralizing antibody levels and the amplitude of this decline was substantially higher in the PLWH than HD group. Correlation analyses revealed a strong correlation between neutralizing antibody levels and the count and proportion of CD4 cells. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody levels followed a similar trend. The expression of memory T and Tfh cells was considerably lower in the PLWH than in the HD group.
    Discussion: PLWH had an attenuated immune response to a third (booster) administration of an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, as shown by lower neutralizing antibody and IgG levels. This could be attributed to the reduced responsiveness of CD4 cells, particularly memory T and cTfh subsets. CD4 and cTfh cells may serve as pivotal markers of enduring and protective antibody levels. Vaccination dose recalibration may be critical for HIV-positive individuals, particularly those with a lower proportion of CD4 and Tfh cells.

    Methods: Uox
    Results: JPSSF significantly decreased renal function indices and alleviated renal injuries. The action of JPSSF was manifested by down-regulation of col6a1 and interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase-like 2, which blocked the binding sites on collagen and further prevented kidney injury. The anti-renal fibrosis effect of JPSSF was confirmed by reducing the collagen deposition and hydroxyproline concentrations. JPSSF treatment also intensely down-regulated the mRNA and protein expressions of col6a1, col1a1, and α-smooth muscle actin, which inhibited the function of the collagen-binding-related signaling pathway.
    Conclusion: Our results indicated that JPSSF notably ameliorated hyperuricemia and related renal fibrosis in Uox

    Abstract Backgrounds: To date, the effects of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines on people living with HIV (PLWH) were mainly focused on messenger RNA (mRNA) and adenovirus vector-based vaccines, and little is known about the effects of inactivated virus-based vaccine. This study was designed to determine the effects of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccines on PLWH.
    Methods: Twenty-four HIV-positive individuals and 24 healthy donors (HD) were respectively recruited from Malipo Country People's Hospital and community in Kunming city. Enumeration of lymphocyte and CD4
    Results: CD4, B cells, CD4
    Conclusions: PLWH and HD have comparable neutralizing antibodies positive rates, but PLWH display weaker responses to inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in magnitude, which suggests that a booster dose or dose adjustment are required for HIV-infected individuals, especially for those with lower counts of CD4 T and B cells.
