Article Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of adenovirus type 5 vectored COVID-19 vaccine (Ad5-nCoV), by intradermal immunization with a needle-free injector in rats.
Methods: This study was divided into two parts. In study A, 105 rats were randomly assigned to seven groups, to receive the low-dose, medium-dose, or high-dose vaccine by needle-free intradermal injections (NFI), or needle-based intramuscular injections (NI), or needle-free intradermal injections with saline solution as a control group. Blood samples were collected on day 0 before vaccination, and day 7, day 14, day 21 and day 28 after vaccination. Binding antibody, pseudovirus neutralizing antibody as well as cellular immune response were measured. The safety endpoints included weight changes and skin reactions. In study B, 32 rats were randomly assigned to four groups to receive low-dose, or medium-dose vaccine by NFI or NI, to observe pathological changes at the injection site following immunization.
Results: No safety concern was noted associated with NFI of Ad5-nCoV. Comparable levels of neutralizing antibodies against various variants induced by NFI compared to NI at the same dosage.
Conclusion: The NFI immunization would be considered as an alternative immunization method to replace the traditional NI for the Ad5-nCoV.

Venous sinus stenting versus ventriculoperitoneal shunting: Comparing perioperative costs for idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
Interv Neuroradiol

Department of Neurosurgery, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
IntroductionVenous sinus stenting (VSS) is an effective, less invasive alternative to ventriculoperitoneal shunting (VPS) for idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). While efficacy is comparable, with some evidence favoring VSS for headache control, perioperative costs remain under-characterized due to reliance on reimbursement rates rather than actual expenditures.ObjectiveTo compare the perioperative cost of elective VSS and VPS for IIH, including outpatient workup and follow-up costs, using detailed institutional cost data.

Denovo Biopharma LLC, San Diego, California.
Importance: This study represents a first successful use of a genetic biomarker to select potential responders in a prospective study in psychiatry. Liafensine, a triple reuptake inhibitor, may become a new precision medicine for treatment-resistant depression (TRD), a major unmet medical need.
Objective: To determine whether ANK3-positive patients with TRD benefit from a 1-mg and/or 2-mg daily oral dose of liafensine, compared with placebo, in a clinical trial.
