In this study, blackberry polysaccharide-selenium nanoparticles (BBP-24-3Se) were first prepared via NaSeO/Vc redox reaction, followed by coating with red blood cell membrane (RBC) to form core-shell structure polysaccharide-selenium nanoparticles (RBC@BBP-24-3Se). The particle size of BBP-24-3Se (167.1 nm) was increased to 239.

This study demonstrated that ATG5 deficiency in myeloid cells can significantly inhibit the growth of rodent blood-stage malarial parasites by selectively enhancing parasite-specific CD4 Th1 cell responses. This effect was independent of ATG5-mediated canonical and non-canonical autophagy.

Objective: This study aims to explore the efficiency and effectiveness of a body area network-based smart bracelet for trauma care prior to hospitalization.
Methods: To test the efficacy of the bracelet, an observational cohort study was conducted on the clinical data of 140 trauma patients pre-admission to the hospital. This study was divided into an experimental group receiving smart bracelets and a control group receiving conventional treatment.
