Folate Receptor–Targeted Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography to Detect Activated Macrophages in Atherosclerosis: Can It Distinguish Vulnerable from Stable Atherosclerotic Plaques? by Leah C.J. Winkel, Harald C. Groen, Bibi S. van Thiel, Cristina Müller, Antonius F.W. van der Steen, Jolanda J. Wentzel, Marion de Jong, Kim Van der Heiden

“…We investigated the feasibility of a folate-based radiopharmaceutical ( 111 In-EC0800) with high-resolution animal single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) to differentiate between stable and vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques in apolipoprotein E 7 mice in which we can induce plaques with the characteristics of stable and vulnerable plaques by placing a flow-modifying cast around the common carotid artery. …”

The Investigation of HBV Pre-S/S Gene Mutations in Occult HBV Infected Blood Donors with anti-HBs Positive by Yan Guo, Yu Lan, Yuanyuan Jing, Bin Cai, Hanshi Gong, Yixin Zhang, Yong Duan

“…The mutation rates in S protein of anti-HBs (−) OBI were higher than anti-HBs(+) OBI samples (4.40% vs. 2.43% in genotype B, P>0.05; 6.81% vs. 3.47% in genotype C, P<0.05). For these high-frequency substitutions in the pre-S/S region, the mutations sN40S and sK122R were found in 27.3% and 45.5% of anti-HBs (−) OBI strains, respectively. 7 substitutions were uniquely found in OBIC strains and 9 substitutions were commonly detected in OBIB and OBIC strains. …”

Risk prediction models for breast cancer: a systematic review by Jiang Li, He Li, Jie He, Ni Li, Yadi Zheng, Zheng Wu, Maomao Cao

“…The most widely used risk factor was reproductive factors and the highest area under the curve was 0.943 (95% CI 0.919 to 0.967). All the models included in the review had high risk of bias.Conclusions No risk prediction models for breast cancer were recommended for different ethnic groups and models incorporating mammographic density or single-nucleotide polymorphisms among Asian women are few and poorly needed. …”

Lactobacillus gasseri LGV03-derived indole-3-lactic acid ameliorates immune response by activating aryl hydrocarbon receptor by Zikang Zhang, Kangdi Zheng, Zhao Zhang, Longbin Cao, Lizhu Lin, Weimin Sun, Feng Qiu

“…However, the alleviating effects of L. gasseri LGV03 supernatant or indole-3-lactic acid were eliminated by aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) antagonist CH-223,191. Furthermore, L. gasseri LGV03 supernatant and indole-3-lactic acid significantly increased the secretion of IFN-α, IFN-β and chemokines (MIP-1α, MIP-1β) in Ect1/E6E7 cells, meanwhile, these benefits were eliminated by CH-223,191 treatment. …”
