Understanding immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines is of great interest, principally because of the poor knowledge about the mechanisms of protection. In the present study, we analyzed longitudinally B cell and T cell memory programs against the spike (S) protein derived from ancestral SARS-CoV-2 (Wuhan-1), B.1.351 (beta), B.1.617.2 (delta) and B.1.1.529 (omicron) variants of concern (VOCs) after immunization with an mRNA-based vaccine (Pfizer). According to the magnitude of humoral responses 3 months after the first dose, we identified high and low responders. Opposite to low responders, high responders were characterized by enhanced antibody-neutralizing activity, increased frequency of central memory T cells and durable S-specific CD8 T cell responses. Reduced binding antibodies titers combined with long-term specific memory T cells that had distinct polyreactive properties were found associated with subsequent breakthrough with VOCs in low responders. These results have important implications for the design of new vaccines and new strategies for booster follow-up.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and underlying mechanism of advanced optimal pulse technology intense pulsed light (AOPT) in low-energy triple-pulse long-width mode (AOPT-LTL) for melasma treatment.
Methods: An in vivo guinea pig model of melasma was established through progesterone injection and ultraviolet B radiation. Three sessions of AOPT-LTL treatment were performed weekly.

Background: Epigenetic regulation significantly affects immune responses in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). However, the role of RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification, especially in obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) within LUAD, is not well understood.
Methods: This study examined m6A modification patterns in 973 LUAD patients using 23 regulatory genes.

Background: Despite being efficacious for acute ischemic stroke, treatment with thrombolysis is often delayed because of the inaccessibility of informed consent from patient proxies. Decisional conflict could be an important contributor to this delay; however, its influencing factors remain unknown. This study sought to survey the decisional conflict of proxies for sufferers of acute ischaemic stroke and explore the influencing factors.

Introduction: Recognition and management of medical emergencies in dental practice is an essential topic area in dental education. However, limited published research on the topic is available from dental institutions in lower-middle income countries (LMICs). Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the teaching methodologies and self-reported confidence of dental undergraduate (predoctoral) students in the management of medical emergencies likely to be encountered in clinical dental practice.

Background: Grit, resilience and a growth mindset are traits that help health professional students respond positively and adapt to the challenges of the clinical learning environment. The aim of this study was to determine if a 5-week education-based intervention can enhance grit, resilience and a growth mindset in physiotherapy students on clinical placement.
Methods: In this single group intervention study, physiotherapy students participated in a 5-week group-based, online educational intervention for 1 h per week during their first clinical placement.
