Purpose: We developed a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) multi-platform detection system that overcomes the limitations of traditional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in timeliness and equipment dependency, establishing a rapid, accurate diagnostic framework for Human adenovirus types 3 and 7 (HAdV-3 and HAdV-7) across resource-varied clinical settings.

Methods: LAMP primers were designed based on the conserved regions of the Hexon genes of HAdV-3 and HAdV-7. The calcein, immunochromatography (IC), and fluorescence probe methods were used.

Background: Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the resurgence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) infections among children in China has raised urgent concerns regarding antimicrobial drug resistance. We reveal the molecular characteristics of macrolide-resistant MP (MRMP) in children with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in autumn, winter, and spring 2023-2024 in Urumqi, Xinjiang, China.

Methods: Throat samples were collected from 1446 children hospitalized for CAP between October 2023 and April 2024.

Immune cell infiltration into adipose tissue (AT) is a key factor in type 2 diabetes (T2DM). However, research on the impact of fat distribution on immune cells and immune responses in women is still lacking. This study used enrichment, protein-protein interaction network, immune cell infiltration, and correlation analysis to compare the similarities and differences between the transcriptome data of visceral AT (VAT) and subcutprotein-proteinaneous AT (SAT) obtained from the omprehensive database of gene expression in women with non-T2DM and T2DM.

Article Synopsis
  • Brucellosis, caused by the Brucella bacteria, is mainly transmitted through contact with infected animals and poses challenges in diagnosis due to overlapping antibody responses in tests.
  • Researchers developed a new detection system combining surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with a lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) that can simultaneously identify anti-brucellosis IgG and IgM antibodies in clinical samples.
  • The innovative biosensor achieved 100% sensitivity and specificity in 40 tested samples, with results available in just 15 minutes, making it a promising tool for rapid brucellosis testing, especially in remote areas.
