Safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of a CpG/Alum adjuvanted SARS-CoV-2 recombinant protein vaccine (ZR202-CoV) in healthy adults: Preliminary report of a phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation trial.

This was a phase 1 dose-escalation study of ZR202-CoV, a recombinant protein vaccine candidate containing a pre-fusion format of the spike (S)-protein (S-trimer) combined with the dual-adjuvant system of Alum/CpG. A total of 230 participants were screened and 72 healthy adults aged 18-59 years were enrolled and randomized to receive two doses at a 28-day interval of three different ZR202-CoV formulations or normal saline. We assessed the safety for 28 days after each vaccination and collected blood samples for immunogenicity evaluation.

[Characteristics and Ecological Risk Assessment of POPs Pollution in Sediments of Xiaoxingkai Lake in the Northeast China].

The pollution characteristics of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), and phthalate esters (PAEs) in the surface sediments of Xiaoxingkai Lake were analyzed by GC-MS, and the main sources and biological toxicity risks of the pollutants were discussed. The results show that:① The content of PAHs in the sediments of xiaoxingkai lake ranged from 82.1 to 534.
