In China, children aged 12 months receive only a single dose of the varicella vaccine and the incidence of varicella remains high. This study aims to evaluate the changes in immunity among children aged 1-3 years following a single dose of the varicella vaccine, providing a scientific basis for determining the optimal age for a second vaccination. This prospective cohort study employed glycoprotein enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (gpELISA) for antibody detection.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study involving 382,397 children from 2012 to 2016 showed that while breakthrough varicella cases initially increased, the overall incidence of the disease significantly decreased as vaccination rates rose, peaking in the fifth year.
  • * The vaccine effectiveness was notably high, ranging from 88.17%-95.78% for one dose to 98.65%-99.93% for two doses, indicating strong support for a two-dose vaccination strategy to improve

Helicase-primase is an interesting target for small-molecule therapy of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections. With amenamevir already approved for varicella-zoster virus and herpes simplex in Japan and with 's granted breakthrough therapy designation for the treatment of acyclovir-resistant HSV infections in immunocompromised patients, the target has sparked interest in helicase-primase inhibitors (HPIs). Here, we analyze the first patent application from Gilead in this field, which pursued a me-too approach combining elements from an old Bayer together with a recent Medshine HPI application (which covers the Phaeno Therapeutics drug candidate ).
