Objective: To investigate the infective efficiency of Ad5/EGFP versus AdF35/EGFP to rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSC) and understand its mechanism.
Methods: rBMSC were isolated from rat bone marrow by density gradient method. The expressions of CD90, CD29, CD44, CD34, CD11b and CD45 on the surface of rBMSC were measured by flow cytometry. The EGFP-carrying Ad5 and AdF35 were infected into rBMSC respectively. The effect of Ad5/EGFP and AdF35/EGFP with different MOIs to rBMSC was tested by MTT. Infected rBMSC were observed by fluorescence microscopy. The infective efficiency and mean fluorescence intensity were determined by flow cytometry after a cellular infection for 1 - 9 days. The expressions of CAR and CD46 on rBMSC were measured by real-time PCR.
Results: The expressions of CD90, CD29 and CD44 on rBMSC were positive while those of CD34, CD11b and CD45 were negative. When MOI = 1600 and = 1000, Ad5/EGFP and AdF35/EGFP could not inhibit the growth of rBMSC respectively (t = 3.12, P = 0.052; t = 2.20, P = 0.15). RBMSC with EGFP expression could be observed under fluorescence microscope after a 1-day infection by Ad5/EGFP. The number of observed cells peaked after an infection for 2-3 days and then decreased gradually. And a few cells could be still observed for 9 days. Fewer cells could be observed after an infection by AdF35/EGFP for 1 - 9 days. The infective efficiency of Ad5/EGFP was significantly higher than that of AdF35/EGFP (t = 2.45, P = 0.008). There was a high expression of CAR on rBMSC. The expression of CD46 was quite low. There was significant difference between them (t = 2.57, P < 0.01).
Conclusion: The infective efficiency of Ad5/EGFP is significantly higher than that of AdF35/EGFP. It may explain the expression patterns of CAR and CD46 on rBMSC. AdF35 is not a suitable gene-carrying vector to infect rBMSC. Yet Ad5 can be an efficient vector carrying target gene to infect rBMSC for curing diseases.

Unlabelled: Streptolysin O (SLO) is a virulence determinant of group A (), the agent of streptococcal sore throat and severe invasive infections. SLO is a member of a family of bacterial pore-forming toxins known as cholesterol-dependent cytolysins, which require cell membrane cholesterol for pore formation. While cholesterol is essential for cytolytic activity, accumulating data suggest that cell surface glycans may also participate in the binding of SLO and other cholesterol-dependent cytolysins to host cells.

The human cellular cytidine deaminases APOBEC3s (A3s) inhibit virion infectivity factor (Vif)-deficient HIV-1 replication. However, virus-encoded Vifs abolish this defense system by specifically recruiting A3s to an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex to induce their degradation. The highly conserved Vif PPLP motif is critical for the Vif-mediated antagonism of A3s and is believed to be important for Vif multimerization.

Objective: This study aims to assess the performance of machine learning (ML) techniques in optimising nurse staffing and evaluating the appropriateness of nursing care delivery models in hospital wards. The primary outcome measures include the adequacy of nurse staffing and the appropriateness of the nursing care delivery system.
Background: Historical and current healthcare challenges, such as nurse shortages and increasing patient acuity, necessitate innovative approaches to nursing care delivery.

The discovery that infections of viruses are pervasive among insects has considerable potential for future applications, such as new strategies for pest control through the manipulation of virus-host interactions. However, few studies can be found that aim to minimize (for beneficial insects) or maximize (for pests) virus impact or virulence. Viruses generally employ molecular mechanisms that deviate from the cells' to increase their replication efficiency and to avoid the immune response.

Introduction: After being discovered for the first time in China in 2017, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) NADC34-like strains have become the prevalent strain of PRRSV in certain regions of China. Our previous study showed that reduced Ingelvac PRRS MLV vaccination dosages against NADC30-like PRRSV had a better protection effect than the normal dosage. However, the protective effect of reduced dosages vaccination of Ingelvac PRRS MLV against NADC34-like PRRSV is unclear.
