How to Deal With Vaccine Breakthrough Infection With SARS-CoV-2 Variants.

Novel Coronary Pneumonia is the most infectious disease with the highest number of morbidity and mortality in 100 years. Despite aggressive and effective COVID-19 prevention and control measures, countries have been unable to stop its outbreaks. With the widespread use of vaccines, the occurrence of COVID-19 has declined markedly.

The Long-Term Presence of SARS-CoV-2 on Cold-Chain Food Packaging Surfaces Indicates a New COVID-19 Winter Outbreak: A Mini Review.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a highly infectious virus that is transmitted primarily through droplets or by coming in close contact with an infected person. In 2020, there was a global outbreak of COVID-19, resulting in an unprecedented global burden of disease, health care costs, and had a significant economic impact. Recently, SARS-CoV-2 was detected on the outer packaging of imported cold chain items in China and has led to virus transmission events, causing great concern.

Attaching clinical significance to COVID-19-associated diarrhea.

The Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), erupted in 2020 and created severe public health and socioeconomic challenges worldwide. A subset of patients, in addition to presenting with typical features such as fever, cough and dyspnea, was also afflicted with diarrhea. However, the clinical features and prognoses related to COVID-19-associated diarrhea have not attracted sufficient attention.

Epidemiology and clinical characteristics of 43 COVID-19 patients in Weifang, China.

Background: To investigate the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of patients infected with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Weifang, China.

Methods: The demographic data of 43 COVID-19 patients identified in Weifang were used to investigate whether they had traveled to epidemic areas and whether they had close contact with confirmed cases. On admission, patients' symptoms and results of laboratory tests and imaging were analyzed.

MicroRNA‑133b aggravates atherosclerosis by activating the Notch signaling pathway.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of miR‑133b on atherosclerosis (AS). A mouse model of AS (AS group) was established, and serum levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride, high‑density lipoprotein cholesterol and low‑density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol were detected. The thoracic aorta tissues were subjected to hematoxylin and eosin staining for pathological examination.

Association of serum hepcidin levels with the presence and severity of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

Background: Inflammation is thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Hepcidin, a 25-kD peptide hormone produced by the liver, modulates acute inflammatory responses. This study aimed to determine the association of serum levels of hepcidin with the presence and severity of OSAS.
