Background: Heterologous boosting is suggested to be of use in populations who have received inactivated COVID-19 vaccines. We aimed to assess the safety and immunogenicity of a heterologous vaccination with the mRNA vaccine CS-2034 versus the inactivated BBIBP-CorV as a fourth dose, as well as the efficacy against the SARS-CoV-2 omicron (BA.5) variant.

Chrysanthemum leaves were sprayed with 200 μmol·LMT, and then subjected to high temperature stress at 40 ℃ (day)/ 35 ℃ (night). The ultrastructure of chloroplast and thylakoid of chrysanthemum leaves were observed, and the photosynthetic and physiological indices were measured.

Methods: Monoclonal hMSC-TERT were isolated using limiting dilution. The growth curves of them were detected by method of MTT.

Article Synopsis
- A study conducted in the aftermath of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake aimed to understand the prevalence of major depressive disorder (MDD) among residents, finding a point prevalence of 1.27% and a lifetime prevalence of 1.36% among the 14,503 participants.
- Key risk factors for MDD included being female, suffering from other physical health issues, experiencing significant property loss, and the trauma of injury or loss of family members during the earthquake.
- Having a job emerged as a protective factor against developing MDD, highlighting the need for ongoing support and mental health care in disaster-affected communities.
Objective: To determine whether monoclonality or different cell seeding densities could influence the differentiation potential of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC-TERT) and to find an effective cultural method of hMSC-TERT in vitro.
Methods: From the parental hMSC-TERT cell line, we derived 30 monoclonal cell lines and two independent cell lines based on different plating densities during expansion in culture. Their adipocytic, osteogenic, neuronal differentiation potential in vitro and multidirectional differentiation potential in vivo were analyzed by immunohistochemistry for pathologic tissue markers.
