Ebola vaccine uptake and attitudes among healthcare workers in North Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo, 2021.

Introduction: During the 2018-2020 Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), prevention and control measures, such as Ebola vaccination were challenging by community mistrust. We aimed to understand perceptions regarding Ebola vaccination and identify determinants of Ebola vaccine uptake among HCWs.

Methods: In March 2021, we conducted a cross-sectional survey among 438 HCWs from 100 randomly selected health facilities in three health zones (Butembo, Beni, Mabalako) affected by the 10th EVD outbreak in North Kivu, DRC.

Ubiquitin-proteasome system as a target for anticancer treatment-an update.

As the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) regulates almost every biological process, the dysregulation or aberrant expression of the UPS components causes many pathological disorders, including cancers. To find a novel target for anticancer therapy, the UPS has been an active area of research since the FDA's first approval of a proteasome inhibitor bortezomib in 2003 for treating multiple myeloma (MM). Here, we summarize newly described UPS components, including E3 ubiquitin ligases, deubiquitinases (DUBs), and immunoproteasome, whose malfunction leads to tumorigenesis and whose inhibitors have been investigated in clinical trials as anticancer therapy since 2020.

Treatment of inflammatory bowel disease-Asian perspectives: the results of a multinational web-based survey in the 8th Asian Organization for Crohn's and Colitis meeting.

Background/aims: As the characteristics of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) differ between Asians and Westerners, it is necessary to determine adequate therapeutic strategy for Asian IBD patients. We evaluated the current treatment of IBD in Asian countries/regions using a web-based survey.

Double-Layer Detection Model of Malicious PDF Documents Based on Entropy Method with Multiple Features.

Traditional PDF document detection technology usually builds a rule or feature library for specific vulnerabilities and therefore is only fit for single detection targets and lacks anti-detection ability. To address these shortcomings, we build a double-layer detection model for malicious PDF documents based on an entropy method with multiple features. First, we address the single detection target problem with the fusion of 222 multiple features, including 130 basic features (such as objects, structure, content stream, metadata, etc.

Fiber Laser-Based Lasso-Shaped Biosensor for High Precision Detection of Cancer Biomarker-CEACAM5 in Serum.

Detection of trace tumor markers in blood/serum is essential for the early screening and prognosis of cancer diseases, which requires high sensitivity and specificity of the assays and biosensors. A variety of label-free optical fiber-based biosensors has been developed and yielded great opportunities for Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) of cancer biomarkers. The fiber biosensor, however, suffers from a compromise between the responsivity and stability of the sensing signal, which would deteriorate the sensing performance.

Mediating Photochemical Reaction Rates at Lewis Acidic Rare Earths by Selective Energy Loss to 4f-Electron States.

Manifesting chemical differences in individual rare earth (RE) element complexes is challenging due to the similar sizes of the tripositive cations and the corelike 4f shell. We disclose a new strategy for differentiating between similarly sized Dy and Y ions through a tailored photochemical reaction of their isostructural complexes in which the f-electron states of Dy act as an energy sink. Complexes RE(hfac)(NMMO) (RE = Dy () and Y (), hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate, and NMMO = -methylmorpholine--oxide) showed variable rates of oxygen atom transfer (OAT) to triphenylphosphine under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, as monitored by H and F NMR spectroscopies.

Pharmacokinetic analysis driven letermovir dosing in pediatric hematopoietic cell transplantation patients with resistant CMV disease.

Background: Reactivation of cytomegalovirus (CMV) in CMV-seropositive patients after haploidentical T-cell receptor αβ /CD19 depleted hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) is common. Due to delayed CMV-specific immune reconstitution, patients may require prolonged antiviral therapy, including secondary prophylaxis (SP). We present our clinical experience with the off-label use of letermovir for SP in a severely immunocompromised 2-year-old toddler with refractory pre-B-cell ALL and bilateral retinitis caused by resistant CMV (A594V UL97 mutation) following a haploidentical TCRαβ /CD19 depleted HCT.

A voluntary transfusion recipient registry in Korea as a database for blood group antibodies.

Background: Several types of transfusion-related registries have been developed to improve patient outcomes and blood banks. In Korea, a transfusion program functioning as a blood group antibody database and a reference laboratory has been in operation since July 2013. This study was conducted to determine the current status of blood group antigens and antibodies in Korea and propose a model for registries in the field of transfusion medicine.

Clinical Efficacy of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy via Cystic Plate Approach for Gallstone Patients with Chronic Cholecystitis.

Chronic cholecystitis has evolved into one of the digestive system diseases that negatively affect the quality of life of patients. This study was conducted to explore the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic cholecystectomy via cystic plate approach for the treatment of gallstones with chronic cholecystitis. Totally 184 gallstone patients with chronic cholecystitis who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy in The First People's Hospital of Wuhu from January 2021 to October 2022 were randomly divided into a control group ( = 92) and an observation group ( = 92).

Updates in neonatal resuscitation: routine use of laryngeal masks as an alternative to face masks.

Although positive-pressure ventilation (PPV) has traditionally been performed using a face mask in neonatal resuscitation, face mask ventilation for delivering PPV has a high failure rate due to mask leaks, airway obstruction, or gastric inflation. Furthermore, face mask ventilation is compromised during chest compressions. Endotracheal intubation in neonates requires a high skill level, with a first-attempt success rate of <50%.

Diagnosis of Local Recurrence of Malignant Soft Tissue Tumors after Reconstructive Surgery on MRI.

expression during postnatal development is critical for the establishment of normal circadian period.

The mammalian circadian system generates an approximate 24-h rhythm through a complex autoregulatory feedback loop. Four genes, (), (), (), and (), regulate the negative feedback within this loop. Although these proteins have distinct roles within the core circadian mechanism, their individual functions are poorly understood.

Comparison of Four T-cell Assays and Two Binding Antibody Assays in SARS-CoV-2 Vaccinees With or Without Omicron Breakthrough Infection.

Background: Several T-cell response assays for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are available; however, their comparability and correlations with antibody responses remain unclear. We compared four SARS-CoV-2 T-cell response assays and two anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike antibody assays.

Methods: We enrolled 89 participants who had received a booster dose of the BNT162b2 vaccine after two doses of the ChAdOx1 or BNT162b2 vaccine.

LncRNA NRON promotes tumorigenesis by enhancing MDM2 activity toward tumor suppressor substrates.

The E3 ligase MDM2 promotes tumor growth and progression by inducing ubiquitin-mediated degradation of P53 and other tumor-suppressing proteins. Here, we identified an MDM2-interacting lncRNA NRON, which promotes tumor formation by suppressing both P53-dependent and independent pathways. NRON binds to MDM2 and MDMX (MDM4) via two different stem-loops, respectively, and induces their heterogenous dimerization, thereby enhancing the E3 ligase activity of MDM2 toward its tumor-suppressing substrates, including P53, RB1, and NFAT1.

Air Pollution Coverage, Anti-Chinese Sentiment, and Attitudes Towards Foreign Policy in South Korea.

Unlabelled: Air pollutants allegedly originating from China have become a thorny issue in South Korea. Despite a neutral view of the topic on the part of the South Korean government, recent public polls show a high correlation between the air pollution issue and negative sentiment toward China. How has the media reported on China regarding air pollutants in South Korea? What is the effect of media reports on air pollution on anti-Chinese sentiment and foreign policy attitudes? By examining news headlines and Twitter data in 2015 and 2018, this work finds that media reports blaming China for air pollution doubled during the 2015-2018 period.
