Biotinylated tri and tetrasaccharide: α Man (1→3) α Man (1→2) α Man; α Man (1→3) α Man (1→2) α Man (1→2) α Man were prepared using methyl tertbutyl phenyl thioglycosides glycosyl donors (MBP) and biotin sulfone strategy. Three key mannosyl thioglycosidic donors have been prepared: one for 1→2 linkage and two for the 1→3 linkage (protected with a 4,6-O-benzylidene or a 4,6-di-O-benzyl). The benzyliden protected one was not found reactive enough, and the benzylated donor was preferred. These biotinylated oligomanosides were evaluated as antigen in Crohn disease diagnosis and used coupled to streptavidin as hapten for eliciting polyclonal antibodies in mice.

Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerulonephritis worldwide with heterogeneous histopathological phenotypes. Although IgAN with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN)-like features has been reported in children and adults, treatment strategies for this rare IgAN subtype have not been established. Here, we present the case of a 56-year-old man with no history of kidney disease who initially presented with nephrotic syndrome.

However, there is no targeted syphilis screening for HIV patients in Hainan, highlighting the need for data to guide public health interventions. This study aims to assess the incidence of seropositive syphilis and its associated factors among PLHIV.
