l-Lactate oxidase has important applications in biosensing and finds increased use in biocatalysis. The enzyme has been characterized well, yet its immobilization has not been explored in depth. Here, we studied immobilization of Aerococcus viridansl-lactate oxidase on porous carriers of variable matrix material (polymethacrylate, polyurethane, agarose) and surface functional group (amine, Ni-loaded nitrilotriacetic acid (NiNTA), epoxide). Carrier activity (A) and immobilized enzyme effectiveness (ɳ) were evaluated in dependence of protein loading. Results show that efficient immobilization (A: up to 1450 U/g carrier; ɳ: up to 65%) requires a hydrophilic carrier (agarose) equipped with amine groups. The value of ɳ declines sharply as A increases, probably due to transition into diffusional regime. Untagged l-lactate oxidase binds to NiNTA carrier similarly as N-terminally His-tagged enzyme. Lixiviation studies reveal quasi-irreversible enzyme adsorption on NiNTA carrier while partial release of activity (≤ 25%) is shown from amine carrier. The desorbed enzyme exhibits the same specific activity as the original l-lactate oxidase. Collectively, our study identifies basic requirements of l-lactate oxidase immobilization on solid carrier and highlights the role of ionic interactions in enzyme-surface adsorption.

Background: Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a serious infectious disease. This study explored the prognostic value of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) to albumin (ALB) ratio (LAR) levels in fatal outcomes of the disease.
Methods: Two-hundred and nine patients with SFTS were enrolled in this study.

This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of a novel capsaicinoid glucoside (CG) against HO-induced oxidative stress in HepG2 cells and elucidate its underlying molecular mechanism. CG treatment significantly reduced HO-induced cell mortality and attenuated the production of lactate dehydrogenase and malondialdehyde in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, CG drastically reduced the ROS levels 18.

Disease burden is a critical determinant of outcomes in CAR-T therapy for B-cell lymphomas, and one of the most widely used techniques for its assessment is Total Metabolic Tumor Volume (TMTV) measured via [F]FDG PET/CT. Biological parameters may further refine the risk profile. We analyzed baseline [F]FDG PET/CT scans from 40 patients treated with CAR-T, using an AI-based automated segmentation algorithm to determine TMTV.

Background: Differentiating between tuberculosis and malignancy as the cause of an exudative lymphocyte predominant pleural effusion is difficult due to similarities in the cellular and biochemical characteristics of the pleural fluid in both conditions. Microbiological tests in tubercular pleural effusions have a poor diagnostic yield, and the long turnaround time for results prevents an early diagnosis. The diagnosis of malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is hampered by a variable yield of pleural fluid cytology and closed pleural biopsy and the fact that thoracoscopy may not be readily available or feasible in each patient.

Background: The global prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in people living with HIV (PLWH) is on the rise in the post era of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Nevertheless, there are no validated predictive models available for assessing the risk of MetS in this specific population.
Methods: This study included PLWH who participated in annual follow-ups at Southern Medical University Nanfang Hospital from September 2022 to November 2023.
