To explore the influencing factors of whole blood cells and genetics of medical radiation workers, and provide technical support for improving occupational health management and strengthening radiation protection. In January 2022, a total of 4180 medical radiation workers who underwent occupational health examination in Gansu Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention from January 2020 to December 2021 were collected as the research objects, and the results of demographic characteristics, whole blood cells, chromosome aberrations, lymphocyte micronucleus and other results were collected. The whole blood cells and genetic abnormalities of different demographic characteristics of medical radiation workers were compared. And the influencing factors of whole blood cells and genetic abnormalities were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression. The rates of hemoglobin (HGB), chromosome aberration and lymphocyte micronucleus abnormality were the highest in the nuclear medicine group, and the rate of white blood cell (WBC) abnormality in the radiotherapy group was higher than those in other occupational groups, the differences were statistically significant (<0.05). The abnormal rates of WBC, HGB and lymphocyte micronucleus in female radiation workers were significantly higher than those in male radiation workers (<0.001). The abnormal rates of HGB and lymphocyte micronucleus were statistically different among different working years and different age radiation workers (<0.001). And the abnormal rate of platelet (PLT) was statistically different among different working years radiation workers (<0.05). The abnormal rate of HGB in radiation workers of different hospital levels was statistically different (<0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of abnormal WBC and HGB in females radiation workers were 3.048 times and 13.122 times of those in males, respectively (<0.001). The abnormal risks of WBC in the 6-20 working years group and >20 working years group were 1.517 times and 1.874 times of that in the ≤5 working years group, respectively (<0.05). The abnormal risk of PLT in the >20 working years group was 2.643 times of that in ≤5 working years group (<0.05). The abnormal risk of WBC in radiotherapy group and intervention group were 2.407 times and 1.341 times of that in general radiotherapy group, respectively (<0.05) . Ionizing radiation has different effects on the whole blood cells and genetic indexes of workers in the nuclear medicine, interventional group and radiotherapy group. The occupational health protection of female radiation workers should be paid attention to.

Clinical evidence increasingly suggests that traditional treatments for dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) have limited success. In this study, blood samples from 10 DUB patients and 10 healthy controls were collected for transcriptome sequencing. Then, the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened and crossed with the DUB-related module genes to obtain the target genes.

The immunogenicity of rabies vaccines is commonly measured by serological testing, which includes measuring rabies virus-neutralising antibody titre levels in the serum. Apart from humoral immunity, cellular immunity measurements are also helpful in assessing the immunogenicity and efficacy of rabies vaccinations. Recently, there has been an increased emphasis on cellular immunity measurements against rabies in humans and animals.

One hallmark of cancer is the upregulation and dependency on glucose metabolism to fuel macromolecule biosynthesis and rapid proliferation. Despite significant pre-clinical effort to exploit this pathway, additional mechanistic insights are necessary to prioritize the diversity of metabolic adaptations upon acute loss of glucose metabolism. Here, we investigated a potent small molecule inhibitor to Class I glucose transporters, KL-11743, using glycolytic leukemia cell lines and patient-based model systems.

Multiple gene-deletion vaccinia virus Tiantan strain against mpox.

Monkeypox virus (MPXV) is an important zoonotic pathogenic virus, which poses serious threats to public health. MPXV infection can be prevented by immunization against the variola virus. Because of the safety risks and side effects of vaccination with live vaccinia virus (VACV) strain Tian Tan (VTT), we constructed two gene-deleted VTT recombinants (TTVAC7 and TTVC5).

Background: Ovarian cancers (OC) and cervical cancers (CC) have poor survival rates. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) play a pivotal role in prognosis, but shared immune mechanisms remain elusive.

Methods: We integrated single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and spatial transcriptomics (ST) to explore immune regulation in OC and CC, focusing on the PI3K/AKT pathway and FLT3 as key modulators.
