Subvariants of the Omicron lineage of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) efficiently escape neutralizing antibody responses induced by both vaccination and infection with antigenically distinct variants. Here, we describe the potency and breadth of neutralizing and binding antibody responses against a large panel of variants following an Omicron BA.1 or BA.2 breakthrough infection in a heterogeneous cohort of individuals with diverse exposure histories. Both BA.1 and BA.2 breakthrough infections significantly boost antibody levels and broaden antibody reactivity. However, this broader immunity induced by BA.1 and BA.2 breakthrough infections does not neutralize Omicron BQ and XBB subvariants efficiently. While these subvariants are not neutralized well by post-breakthrough sera, suggesting escape, binding non-neutralizing antibody responses are sustained. In summary, our data suggest that while BA.1 and BA.2 breakthrough infections broaden the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 spike, the induced neutralizing antibody response is still outpaced by viral evolution.

Exploring the anti‑inflammatory activity of boron compounds through the miR‑21/PTEN/AKT pathway in cecal ligation and puncture‑induced sepsis.

The present study investigated the impact of boric acid (BA) and borax (BX) on markers of inflammation and modifications in miR‑21/PTEN/AKT pathway genes in the liver and kidney tissues of Sprague Dawley male rats with sepsis induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). A total of 60 male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into 6 groups, each containing 10 animals as follows: Control, CLP (where the model was created), 20 mg/kg BX (CLP + BX1), 40 mg/kg BX (CLP + BX2), 20 mg/kg BA (CLP + BA1) and 40 mg/kg BA (CLP + BA2). Liver and kidney tissues were analyzed for histopathological changes, immunopositivity for tumor necrosis factor‑α, interleukin (IL)‑6 and IL‑10, and gene expression of microRNA‑21 (miR‑21), phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and AKT.

Article Synopsis
- A survey of 55 healthcare professionals in the UK explored current management practices for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (OC), focusing on testing for homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) and BRCA mutations prior to maintenance treatment.
- All respondents emphasized the importance of considering cytoreductive surgery at first recurrence, with 65% advocating the use of DESKTOP III criteria to assist in decision-making.
- Healthcare professionals noted that most primary OC patients in the UK have established HRD and mutation status, underscoring the growing recognition of secondary cytoreduction's role in treatment.
Synthesis, Structure and Properties of Compounds Derived from Kotoite-related Structures: AMBO (A=Zn, Ba, Pb; B=Pb, Ba, Zn, Cu).

A series of compounds with the general formula AMBO (A=Zn, Ba, Pb; B=Pb, Ba, Zn, Cu) related to the kotoite structure has been prepared employing high-temperature solid state methods. The substitution of transition elements in place of Zn ions resulted in colored compounds. The optical absorption spectra could be explained based on Tanabe-Sugano diagram and allowed d-d transitions.

Patients who sustain a hip fracture are known to be at imminent refracture risk. Their complex multidisciplinary rehabilitation needs to include falls prevention and anti-osteoporosis medication (AOM) to prevent such fractures. This study aimed to determine which hospital-level organizational factors predict prescription of post-hip fracture AOM and refracture risk.
