Background: During the COVID-19 outbreak in December 2022 in China, some laboratory workers in SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid testing (NAT) laboratories remained uninfected.
Objectives: To evaluate if the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection was reduced in laboratory workers who performed SARS-CoV-2 NAT, and whether this reduction resulted from the healthy worker effect.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 423 laboratory workers from 14 SARS-CoV-2 NAT laboratories in Xiamen, China.

The selective synthesis of 4-alkyl/aryl-3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thione in THF and water-dependent switchable product ketothioamide is demonstrated. The presented method describes explicitly the synthesis of the extremely rare positional isomer 4-alkyl/aryl-3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thione, a unique structure distinct from another positional isomer, 5-alkyl/aryl-3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thione. The unique umpolung of the nitromethyl group is exploited for solvent selective nucleophilic sulfur and amine addition.

Renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) induces tissue hypoxia, resulting in disrupted energy metabolism and heightened oxidative stress. These factors contribute to tubular cell damage, which is a leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) and can progress to chronic kidney disease (CKD). The excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of AKI.

The goaf formed by mining and other activities is prone to safety hazards. Preparing high-quality and low-cost solidified iron tailings powder (SITP) is an important way to ensure backfill quality and eliminate safety hazards. Using iron tailings powder near the goaf of in Shanxi, comparative experiments were conducted to evaluate the the flowability, stone rate, strength, and water stability of newly mixed SITP under different types and dosages of curing agent, and mixing methods.

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have demonstrated their therapeutic potential as safe and effective drug delivery systems for nucleic acids during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, one of the main challenges during technical CMC (Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls) development is their long-term stability at temperatures of 2-8 °C or higher, which may be improved by the removal of water by lyophilization. In this study, we identified lyo-/cryo-protectants for freeze-dried mRNA-LNP formulations beyond conventional excipients such as sucrose and trehalose as T-modifiers using polyA as a surrogate.
