Epitope Mapping of Anti‐Neurofascin 155 Antibody in a Large Cohort of Autoimmune Nodopathy Patients

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Autoimmune nodopathy (AN), a newly recognized disease entity, is an immune‐mediated polyneuropathy involving autoantibodies against cell adhesion molecules located in nodes of Ranvier and paranodal regions, such as neurofascin 186 (NF186) and neurofascin 155 (NF155). The present study aimed to identify the epitopes for autoantibodies

Predicting influenza H3N2 vaccine efficacy from evolution of the dominant epitope [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
We predict vaccine efficacy with a measure of antigenic distance between influenza A(H3N2) and candidate vaccine viruses based on amino acid substitutions in the dominant epitopes. In 2016-2017, our model predicts 19% efficacy compared to 20% observed.

Reconstitution of CXCR3+ CCR6+ Th17.1‐Like T Cells in Response to Ofatumumab Therapy in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Ofatumumab, a fully human anti‐CD20 monoclonal antibody, is effective in reducing relapses and disability progression in patients with multiple sclerosis. This study aimed to examine immune profile changes associated with ofatumumab in a prospective cohort of Chinese patients with relapsing–remitting multiple ...

CNS Mitochondria‐Derived Vesicle in Blood: Potential Biomarkers for Brain Mitochondria Dysfunction

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's (PD). Our goal was to develop practical, noninvasive methods to assess mitochondrial status through the detection of mitochondria‐derived vesicles (MDVs).

Incidence of Side Effects Associated With Acetaminophen in People Aged 65 Years or More: A Prospective Cohort Study Using Data From the Clinical Practice Research Datalink

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The main objective of this study is to examine the safety of oral acetaminophen at its therapeutic dose in adults aged ≥65 years. Methods This population‐based cohort study used the Clinical Practice Research Datalink‐Gold data. Participants were aged ≥65 years registered with a UK general practice for at least 12 months between 1998 and 2018.

Punctuated evolution of influenza virus neuraminidase (A/H1N1) under migration and vaccination pressures [PDF]

arXiv, 2012
Influenza virus contains two highly variable envelope glycoproteins, hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). The structure and properties of HA, which is responsible for binding the virus to the cell that is being infected, change significantly when the virus is transmitted from avian or swine species to humans.

Oseltamivir in human avian influenza infection [PDF]

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2010
Avian influenza A viruses continue to cause disease outbreaks in humans, and extrapulmonary infection is characteristic. In vitro studies demonstrate the activity of oseltamivir against avian viruses of the H5, H7 and H9 subtypes. In animal models of lethal infection, oseltamivir treatment and prophylaxis limit viral replication and improve survival ...

Activation of SIRT1 Reduces Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells Fibrosis in Hypoxia Through SIRT1‐FoxO1‐FoxO3‐Autophagy Pathway

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
Hypoxia promotes the epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) of renal tubular epithelial cells via the SIRT1‐FoxO1‐FoxO3‐autophagy pathway, thereby resulting in the fibrosis of renal tubular epithelial cells. Activation of SIRT1 or induction of autophagy inhibits this process, alleviating hypoxia‐induced fibrosis.

Low-dimensional clustering detects incipient dominant influenza strain clusters [PDF]

Protein Engineering, Design & Selection 23 (2010) 935-946, 2012
Influenza has been circulating in the human population and has caused three pandemics in the last century (1918 H1N1, 1957 H2N2, 1968 H3N2). The 2009 A(H1N1) was classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the fourth pandemic. Influenza has a high evolution rate, which makes vaccine design challenging.
