Modulating cytokine microenvironment during T cell activation induces protective RSV-specific lung resident memory T cells in early life in mice.

Maternal immunisation against respiratory viruses provides protection in early life, but as antibodies wane, there can be a gap in coverage. This immunity gap might be filled by inducing pathogen-specific lung tissue-resident T cells (TRM). However, the neonatal mouse lung has a different inflammatory environment to the adult lung which affects T cell recruitment.

Temporal and spatial variations of urinary phthalate metabolites for adults in China (2005 - 2020): A synthesis of biomonitoring data.

Chinese people are experiencing phthalate exposure risks. However, temporal and regional phthalate internal exposure variations amongst Chinese have not been established. To address this gap, we integrated our 69 adult participants' bio-monitored urinary phthalate metabolite (UPM) concentration data by high-performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry in Xi'an and Nanjing and the data from 35 literature (total sample size: 18768).

Photoinduced synthesis of trisubstituted allylic molecules migratory allylation of olefins.

A transition-metal-free method to afford diverse trisubstituted allylic molecules migratory allylation of olefins under light irradiation is described. This system tolerated diverse -tosylhydrazones and olefinic boronic acids. Successful allylation of drugs and natural-product analogues was achieved.

Characterization of Active Compounds in Sanhuang Shu'ai Decoction for the Management of Ulcerative Colitis: A UHPLC-MS Study.

Objective: The effectiveness of Sanhuang Shu'ai decoction (SSD), a traditional Chinese medicine used to treat diarrhea and colitis, especially ulcerative colitis (UC), is not well understood regarding how its chemical components work.

Methods: This research used ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS), network pharmacology, and molecular docking to understand the active substances and potential mechanisms of SSD in treating UC.

Results: UHPLC and MS analyses identified 710 active components in SSD extracts (ZYTQY) and 387 in SSD-containing serum (HYXQ), with 35 active compounds found in both ZYTQY and HYXQ and 67 active compounds from SSDD (SSD compound obtained directly from the database), along with 6 metabolites that may be key components in its function.

Noninvasive assessment of hepatic steatosis grades by ultrasound derived fat fraction in metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease.

To evaluate the diagnostic performance of ultrasound-derived fat fraction (UDFF) and clinical prediction models in assessing hepatic steatosis grades in MASLD patients, with liver biopsy as reference standard.A total of 85 obese patients who were found to have fatty liver by B-mode ultrasound and underwent UDFF measurement, with liver biopsy available, were enrolled. The diagnostic performance of UDFF, clinical prediction models including fatty liver index (FLI), hepatic steatosis index (HSI), ZheJiang University index (ZJU index) and lipid accumulation product (LAP) for hepatic steatosis was assessed.
