A penta-component mpox mRNA vaccine induces protective immunity in nonhuman primates.

The recent worldwide outbreaks of mpox prioritize the development of a safe and effective mRNA vaccine. The contemporary mpox virus (MPXV) exhibits changing virological and epidemiological features, notably affecting populations already vulnerable to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Herein, we profile the immunogenicity of AR-MPXV5, a penta-component mRNA vaccine targeting five specific proteins (M1R, E8L, A29L, A35R, and B6R) from the representative contemporary MPXV clade II strain, in both naive and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-infected nonhuman primates.

Comparative proteomic analysis of vancomycin-sensitive and vancomycin-intermediate resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Purpose: The extensive use of vancomycin has led to the development of Staphylococcus aureus strains with varying degrees of resistance to vancomycin. The present study aimed to explore the molecular causes of vancomycin resistance by conducting a proteomics analysis of subcellular fractions isolated from vancomycin-intermediate resistant S. aureus (VISA) and vancomycin-sensitive S.

Clinical and Predictive Value of Computed Tomography Angiography in High-Altitude Pulmonary Hypertension.

Background: High-altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH), as the group 3 pulmonary hypertension, has been less studied so far. The limited medical conditions in the high-altitude plateau are responsible for the delay of the clinical management of HAPH.

Objectives: This study aims to identify the imaging characteristics of HAPH and explore noninvasive assessment of mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) based on computed tomography angiography (CTA).
