Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was the most widely used detection technique during the COVID-19 outbreak. However, it cannot discriminate between intact infectious viruses and surface-distorted, non-infectious virus particles or naked viral RNA. In this study, we present a strategy for the specific detection of infectious coronaviruses by combining viral receptor capture and reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP). We successfully applied this strategy to detect infectious virus particles of the SARS-CoV-2 surrogate virus and the human coronavirus NL63 (HCoV-NL63). Virus particles were first captured on ELISA plates coated with the recombinant human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) receptor. Viral RNA was then extracted from the particles and detected by RT-LAMP using virus-specific primers. In our experimental setting, the proposed method had a minimum detection limit (LOD) of 90 PFU/mL, sensitivity of 96.2%, and specificity of 100%. Our study provides a proof-of-concept that viral receptor capture combined with RT-LAMP can differentiate infectious coronaviruses from non-infectious virions or naked viral RNA. This paves the way for this virus detection strategy to become a mainstream tool for the management, prevention and control of epidemic coronavirus diseases.展开更多

文摘Folate(FA)is an essential micronutrient of vitamin B group for growth,development,and reproduction through participating in the nucleotide synthesis and methyl donation reactions.The changes of FA level have been linked to dietary insufficiency(e.g.,poor diet,etc.)malabsorption(e.g.,FA-associated gene mutation,etc.),increased demand(e.g.,pregnancy,etc).or medication(e.g.,antifolates drugs),or bad habits(e.g.,smoking,alcoholism,etc.).Recently,epidemiological data showed that the levels of the host FA typically changed in patients with infectious diseases.Interactions between pathogens,including bacteria,parasites and viruses,and their hosts are complex,in particular,pathogenic infection-mediated changes of the host FA levels can affect the utilization and uptake of limited FA resources of the host.Therefore,FA supplementation or the use of antifolate agents may be a potential antimicrobial strategy for managing infectious diseases.Furthermore,given that the gut microbiota is a primary source of FA in the human body,the association between gut microbiota and pathogenic infections warrants investigation.To date,little is known about how FA status and its biochemistry function affect the course of infectious diseases.In this review,we focus on the roles of FA in the interaction between the host and microbe,and briefly discuss the potential of FA and antifolates agents in the treatment of infectious diseases.

文摘Dear Editor,Swinepox virus(SWPV)belongs to the family Poxviridae,subfamily Chordopoxvirinae,and genus Varicellovirus(Lefkowitz et al.,2018).It exhibits the typical brick-shaped morphology and envelope structure characteristic of poxviruses.Its genome is a 146 kbp linear double-stranded DNA encoding approximately 150 genes(Moorkamp et al.,2008;Schwarz et al.,2024).SWPV is highly host-specific,infecting only domestic pigs and wild boars.Transmission occurs through direct contact with infectious scabs,congenital transmission,or mechanical transmission by arthropods such as pig lice and house flies.The disease is more likely to occur in pig farms with poor sanitation conditions(Borst et al.,1990;Jindal,2015;Kaiser et al.,2021;Kumar et al.,2023;Riyesh et al.,2016).
文摘The skin,being the largest organ in the human body,is susceptible to a wide array of diseases,particularly infectious skin diseases.Some of these skin conditions are chronic and challenging to treat,markedly impacting the quality of life for those affected.Moreover,some chronic skin diseases necessitate the prolonged use of antibiotics,rendering antibiotic resistance inevitable.As the problem of antibiotic resistance grows increasingly severe,finding alternative treatment options to antibiotics becomes crucial.Moxibustion,an integral component of traditional Chinese medicine,stands out as a distinctive external therapy.With a storied history in the realm of dermatological treatment,moxibustion has amassed a wealth of clinical expertise and holds certain advantages,offering viable options for managing skin conditions.Nevertheless,given the diversity of skin diseases,the application of moxibustion in dermatology requires further exploration and comprehensive research.Furthermore,the quality of current moxibustion research needs enhancement,necessitating the conduct of high-quality randomized controlled trials to facilitate the integration of moxibustion into dermatological practice.The mechanism of action for moxibustion is intricate,encompassing thermal effect,light effect,and the pharmacological effect resulting from the burning of moxa.This article aims to encapsulate the mechanisms of moxibustion and its utilization in prevalent infectious skin conditions,while also outlining existing challenges and prospective avenues for development.

文摘Governments worldwide have implemented non-pharmaceutical interventions(NPIs)to control the spread of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19),and it is crucial to accurately assess the effectiveness of such measures.Many studies have quantified the risk of infection transmission and used simulations to compare the risk before and after the implementation of NPIs to judge policies’effectiveness.However,the choice of metric used to quantify the risk can lead to different conclusions regarding the effectiveness of a policy.In this study,we analyze the correlation between different transmission-risk metrics,pedestrian environments,and types of infectious diseases using simulation-generated data.Our findings reveal conflicting results among five different metric types in specific environments.More specifically,we observe that,when the randomness of pedestrian trajectories in indoor spaces is low,the closeness centrality exhibits a higher correlation coefficient with infection-based metrics than with contact-based metrics.Furthermore,even within the same pedestrian environment,the likelihood of discrepancies between infection-based metrics and other metrics increases for infectious diseases with low transmission rates.These results highlight the variability in the measured effectiveness of NPIs depending on the chosen metric.To evaluate NPIs accurately,facility managers should consider the type of facility and infectious disease and not solely rely on a single metric.This study provides a simulation model as a tool for future research and improves the reliability of pedestrian-simulation-based NPI effectiveness analysis methods.

文摘Ligularia jaluensis is an important medicinal and ornamental plant in China.However,the viruses capable of infecting Ligularia jaluensis remains unknown.Here,we identified a novel carlavirus,tentatively named ligularia jaluensis carlavirus(LJCV),as well as a known iris severe mosaic virus(ISMV),in L.jaluensis plants displaying chlorosis and yellow ring spot symptoms,using RNA-seq analysis.The LJCV genome consists of an 8497 nt positive-sense,single-stranded RNA[excluding the poly(A)tail],and contains six open reading frames(ORFs).Phylogenetic analyses based on the fulllength genome and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase(RdRp)amino acid(aa)sequences revealed that LJCV clusters within an evolutionary branch alongside known viruses in the Carlavirus genus.The RdRp protein encoded by ORF1 of LJCV shared 45.38%–67.41%identity with the corresponding proteins of eight closely related carlaviruses.ORFs 2–4 constitute the triple gene block(TGB),with TGBp1 and TGBp3 localized in the endoplasmic reticulum(ER),while TGBp2 is localized at plasmodesmata(PD)and facilitates viral intercellular movement,as demonstrated by its ability to complement the potato virus X with movement-deficient mutant(PVX-Δp25-GFP).Additionally,ORF6 encodes a cysteine-rich protein(CRP)that is localized in the chloroplast and functions as a viral pathogenicity factor,inducing severe viral symptoms in the heterologous PVX expression system.Furthermore,we successfully constructed an infectious cDNA clone of LJCV,and found that it can infect Nicotiana benthamiana plants through mechanical inoculation or agrobacterium-mediated infiltration of the LJCV infectious clone.These findings enhance our understanding of the characteristics and host range of carlaviruses,as well as the viruses capable of infecting L.jaluensis.

文摘Infectious bronchitis(IB),a highly contagious acute respiratory disease affecting avian species,poses significant challenges to poultry production.The causative agent,infectious bronchitis virus(IBV),exhibits a high mutation rate,leading to limited cross-protection by existing vaccines.This necessitates the development of novel vaccines.This study,based on preliminary investigations conducted by our research team,identified six potential strains(PYG QX1,ZQF QX2,FQH QX3,LYZ QX4,XXX QX5,and CSL strains)for vaccine development.Previous pathogenicity test and serum cross-neutralization experiments conducted in this study have demonstrated that the FQH QX3 strain exhibited the weakest pathogenicity and the broadest spectrum of serum neutralization,while the CSL strain showed the highest pathogenicity and was the most challenging to neutralize,posing the greatest difficulty in prevention and control.Subsequently,we constructed and rescued recombinant vaccine candidates,H120-FQH QX3,and H120-CSL,expressing the S1 and N proteins of the FQH QX3 and CSL strains,respectively.Immunization protection experiments indicated that the H120-CSL recombinant vaccine candidate exhibited the most effective immune protection,making it a promising candidate for further study and evaluation as a recombinant vaccine.The S1 and N genes of the CSL strain demonstrated strong immunogenicity,making them potential candidate antigen genes for future vaccine development.
文摘The relationship between genetics and infectious diseases is important in shaping our understanding of disease susceptibility,progression,and treatment.Recent research shows the impact of genetic variations,such as heme-oxygenase promoter length,on diseases like malaria and sepsis,revealing both protective and inconclusive effects.Studies on vaccine responses highlight genetic markers like human leukocyte antigens,emphasizing the potential for personalized immunization strategies.The ongoing battle against drug-resistant tuberculosis(TB)illustrates the complexity of genomic variants in predicting resistance,highlighting the need for integrated diagnostic tools.Additionally,genome-wide association studies reveal antibiotic resistance mechanisms in bacterial genomes,while host genetic polymorphisms,such as those in solute carrier family 11 member 1 and vitamin D receptor,demonstrate their role in TB susceptibility.Advanced techniques like metagenomic next-generation sequencing promise detailed pathogen detection but face challenges in cost and accessibility.A case report involving a highly virulent Mycobacterium TB strain with the pks1 gene further highlights the need for genetic insights in understanding disease severity and developing targeted interventions.This evolving landscape emphasizes the role of genetics in infectious diseases,while also addressing the need for standardized studies and accessible technologies.

文摘Rapid and accurate detection of infectious virus particles, not just viral nucleic acid, is essential to avoid unnecessary quarantine and effectively control the spread of viral diseases such as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was the most widely used detection technique during the COVID-19 outbreak. However, it cannot discriminate between intact infectious viruses and surface-distorted, non-infectious virus particles or naked viral RNA. In this study, we present a strategy for the specific detection of infectious coronaviruses by combining viral receptor capture and reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP). We successfully applied this strategy to detect infectious virus particles of the SARS-CoV-2 surrogate virus and the human coronavirus NL63 (HCoV-NL63). Virus particles were first captured on ELISA plates coated with the recombinant human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) receptor. Viral RNA was then extracted from the particles and detected by RT-LAMP using virus-specific primers. In our experimental setting, the proposed method had a minimum detection limit (LOD) of 90 PFU/mL, sensitivity of 96.2%, and specificity of 100%. Our study provides a proof-of-concept that viral receptor capture combined with RT-LAMP can differentiate infectious coronaviruses from non-infectious virions or naked viral RNA. This paves the way for this virus detection strategy to become a mainstream tool for the management, prevention and control of epidemic coronavirus diseases.
文摘Objective:To explore the effect of applying safety culture construction in nursing management of infectious disease areas.Methods:During the one-year period from January 2024 to December 2024,patients admitted to the infectious disease area of our hospital were randomly selected for the study.92 patients were divided into two groups using a computerized double-blind method for intervention.The control group received routine nursing management,while the observation group applied safety culture construction management.The effects of nursing management in the two groups were studied and compared.Results:Before management,the nursing management quality scores of the two groups were evaluated,showing little difference in various scores,and the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Through the implementation of nursing management,the scores of the two groups were significantly improved,and the observation group had significantly higher scores compared to the control group(P<0.05).Compared to the incidence of nursing risk events,the observation group(6.52%)was significantly lower than the control group(30.43%),and there was a significant difference between the two groups(P<0.05).The observation group had significantly higher satisfaction scores for nursing skills,health education,service attitude,and professionalism compared to the control group,indicating patient satisfaction with safety culture construction(P<0.05).Conclusion:Applying safety culture construction in nursing management of infectious disease areas has a preventive effect on nursing risk events and is beneficial for improving patients’risk cognition level.
