Background: The hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) was caused by species of Enterovirus A and Enterovirus B in the Asian-Pacific region. Broad-spectrum monoclonal antibodies (mAb) that can bind multiple serotypes of enteroviruses have gradually become a research hotspot in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of HFMD.
Methods: In this study, a mAb 1H4 was obtained using monoclonal antibody technology by immunizing purified virus particles of Coxsackievirus A5 (CV-A5).
Coxsackievirus A10 (CV-A10) is a prevailing causative agent of hand-foot-mouth disease, necessitating the isolation and adaptation of appropriate strains in cells allowed for human vaccine development. In this study, amino acid sequences of CV-A10 strains with different cell tropism on RD and Vero cells were compared. Various amino acids on the structural and non-structural proteins related to cell tropism were identified.

Purpose: This in vitro study was to compare the flexural properties, fracture toughness and hardness of three machinable composite materials.
Methods: Three kinds of resin composite ceramic Upcera Hyramic, 3M Lava Ultimate, Vita Enamic and a glass ceramic Vitablocs Mark II were chosen for the study. Bar-shaped specimens (16 mm×4 mm×1 mm, 2 mm) were prepared for flexural strength experiment; specimens (17 mm×4 mm×3 mm) were prepared for fracture toughness experiment and specimens of 4 mm thickness were prepared for hardness test.
