BMC Infectious Diseases Jun 2024Most evidence of the waning of vaccine effectiveness is limited to a relatively short period after vaccination.
BACKGROUND
Most evidence of the waning of vaccine effectiveness is limited to a relatively short period after vaccination.
METHODS
Data obtained from a linked database of healthcare administrative claims and vaccination records maintained by the municipality of a city in the Kanto region of Japan were used in this study. The study period extended from April 1, 2020, to December 31, 2022. The duration of the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine was analyzed using a time-dependent piecewise Cox proportional hazard model using the age, sex and history of cancer, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, chronic kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease as covariates.
RESULTS
Among the 174,757 eligible individuals, 14,416 (8.3%) were diagnosed with COVID-19 and 936 (0.54%) were hospitalized for COVID-19. Multivariate analysis based on the time-dependent Cox regression model with reference of non-vaccine group revealed a lower incidence of COVID-19 in the one-dose group (hazard ratio, 0.76 [95% confidence interval, 0.63-0.91]), two-dose (0.89 [0.85-0.93]), three-dose (0.80 [0.76-0.85]), four-dose (0.93 [0.88-1.00]), and five-dose (0.72 [0.62-0.84]) groups. A lower incidence of COVID-19-related hospitalization was observed in the one-dose group (0.42 [0.21-0.81]), two-dose (0.44 [0.35-0.56]), three-dose (0.38 [0.30-0.47]), four-dose (0.20 [0.14-0.28]), and five-dose (0.11 [0.014-0.86]) groups. Multivariable analyses based on the time-dependent piecewise Cox proportional hazard model with reference of non-vaccine group revealed significant preventive effects of the vaccine for 4 months for the incidence of COVID-19 and ≥ 6 months for hospitalization.
CONCLUSIONS
Vaccine effectiveness showed gradual attenuation with time after vaccination; however, protective effects against the incidence of COVID-19 and hospitalization were maintained for 4 months and ≥ 6 months, respectively. These results may aid in formulating routine vaccination plans after the COVID-19 pandemic.

BACKGROUND
Metal-regulatory transcription factor 1 (MTF1), a conserved metal-binding transcription factor in eukaryotes, regulates the proliferation of cancer cells by activating downstream target genes and then participates in the formation and progression of tumors, including lung cancer (LC). The expression level of MTF1 is down-regulated in LC, and high expression of MTF1 is associated with a good prognosis of LC. However, the association between MTF1 polymorphism and LC risk has not been explored.
METHODS
The genotyping of MTF1 Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) including rs473279, rs28411034, rs28411352, and rs3748682 was identified by the Agena MassARRAY system among 670 healthy controls and 670 patients with LC. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated by logistics regression to assess the association of these SNPs with LC risk.
RESULTS
MTF1 rs28411034 (OR 1.22, 95% CI 1.03-1.45, p = 0.024) and rs3748682 (OR 1.24, 95% CI 1.04-1.47, p = 0.014) were associated with higher LC susceptibility overall. Moreover, the effect of rs28411034 and rs3748682 on LC susceptibility was observed in males, subjects with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 24 kg/m, smokers, drinkers, and patients with lung squamous carcinoma (OR and 95% CI > 1, p < 0.05). Besides, rs28411352 (OR 0.73, 95% CI 0.55-0.97, p = 0.028,) showed protective effect for reduced LC risk in drinkers.
CONCLUSIONS
We were first who reported that rs28411034 and rs3748682 tended to be relevant to increased LC susceptibility among the Chinese Han population. These results of this study could help to recognize the pathogenic mechanisms of the MTF1 gene in LC progress.

To evaluate the protective effect of gallic acid on the optic nerve by studying the inhibitory effect of gallic acid on oxidative stress in retinal ganglion cells. 100 male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group, simple high IOP group, 0.5% gallic acid experimental group, and 1% gallic acid experimental group. HE staining, immunofluorescence, DHE staining, Western blot, and q-PCR were used to observe the antioxidant effect of gallic acid on the retina of acute ocular hypertension rats. HE staining of the retina of SD rats confirmed that the nucleus of RGCs was clear, the thickness of the RNFL was regular in the normal control group, and the nucleus of RGCs was ruptured and lysed in the simple high intraocular pressure (IOP) group and the gallic acid group, and the thickness of the RNFL was significantly thickened, but the thickness of the RNFL in the gallic acid group was significantly reduced compared with that in the simple high IOP group (p < 0.05). DHE staining showed that ROS content in the simple high IOP group was significantly increased compared with the normal control group, and ROS content was significantly decreased after the application of gallic acid (p < 0.05). Immunofluorescence staining with Brn-3a antibody confirmed that the number of RGCs was significantly reduced in the simple high IOP group compared with the normal control group, whereas after application of gallic acid, the number of RGCs was significantly more in the gallic acid group than in the simple high IOP group (p < 0.05). Western Blot and q-PCR confirmed that hypoxia-inducing factor 1α (HIF-1α) protein content and transcription level were significantly increased in the retinal tissue of the simple high IOP group, and gallic acid could inhibit HIF-1α protein content (p < 0.05) and reduce transcription factor level (p < 0.05). Gallic acid exerts a protective effect on RGC by inhibiting oxidative stress in rats with acute IOP elevation.

While there are currently over 40 replicated genes with mapped risk alleles for Late Onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD), the Apolipoprotein E locus E4 haplotype is still the biggest driver of risk, with odds ratios for neuropathologically confirmed E44 carriers exceeding 30 (95% confidence interval 16.59-58.75). We sought to address whether the APOE E4 haplotype modifies expression globally through networks of expression to increase LOAD risk. We have used the Human Brainome data to build expression networks comparing APOE E4 carriers to non-carriers using scalable mixed-datatypes Bayesian network (BN) modeling. We have found that VGF had the greatest explanatory weight. High expression of VGF is a protective signal, even on the background of APOE E4 alleles. LOAD risk signals, considering an APOE background, include high levels of SPECC1L, HLA-DRA and RANBP3L. Our findings nominate several new transcripts, taking a combined approach to network building including known LOAD risk loci.

BACKGROUND
Chemotherapy-associated ovarian damage (CAOD) is one of the most feared short- and long-term side effects of anticancer treatment in premenopausal women. Accumulating detailed data show that different chemotherapy regimens can lead to disturbance of ovarian hormone levels, reduced or lost fertility, and an increased risk of early menopause. Previous studies have often focused on the direct effects of chemotherapeutic drugs on ovarian follicles, such as direct DNA damage-mediated apoptotic death and primordial follicle burnout. Emerging evidence has revealed an imbalance in the ovarian microenvironment during chemotherapy. The ovarian microenvironment provides nutritional support and transportation of signals that stimulate the growth and development of follicles, ovulation, and corpus luteum formation. The close interaction between the ovarian microenvironment and follicles can determine ovarian function. Therefore, designing novel and precise strategies to manipulate the ovarian microenvironment may be a new strategy to protect ovarian function during chemotherapy.
OBJECTIVE AND RATIONALE
This review details the changes that occur in the ovarian microenvironment during chemotherapy and emphasizes the importance of developing new therapeutics that protect ovarian function by targeting the ovarian microenvironment during chemotherapy.
SEARCH METHODS
A comprehensive review of the literature was performed by searching PubMed up to April 2024. Search terms included 'ovarian microenvironment' (ovarian extracellular matrix, ovarian stromal cells, ovarian interstitial, ovarian blood vessels, ovarian lymphatic vessels, ovarian macrophages, ovarian lymphocytes, ovarian immune cytokines, ovarian oxidative stress, ovarian reactive oxygen species, ovarian senescence cells, ovarian senescence-associated secretory phenotypes, ovarian oogonial stem cells, ovarian stem cells), terms related to ovarian function (reproductive health, fertility, infertility, fecundity, ovarian reserve, ovarian function, menopause, decreased ovarian reserve, premature ovarian insufficiency/failure), and terms related to chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, lfosfamide, chlormethine, chlorambucil, busulfan, melphalan, procarbazine, cisplatin, doxorubicin, carboplatin, taxane, paclitaxel, docetaxel, 5-fluorouraci, vincristine, methotrexate, dactinomycin, bleomycin, mercaptopurine).
OUTCOMES
The ovarian microenvironment shows great changes during chemotherapy, inducing extracellular matrix deposition and stromal fibrosis, angiogenesis disorders, immune microenvironment disturbance, oxidative stress imbalances, ovarian stem cell exhaustion, and cell senescence, thereby lowering the quantity and quality of ovarian follicles. Several methods targeting the ovarian microenvironment have been adopted to prevent and treat CAOD, such as stem cell therapy and the use of free radical scavengers, senolytherapies, immunomodulators, and proangiogenic factors.
WIDER IMPLICATIONS
Ovarian function is determined by its 'seeds' (follicles) and 'soil' (ovarian microenvironment). The ovarian microenvironment has been reported to play a vital role in CAOD and targeting the ovarian microenvironment may present potential therapeutic approaches for CAOD. However, the relation between the ovarian microenvironment, its regulatory networks, and CAOD needs to be further studied. A better understanding of these issues could be helpful in explaining the pathogenesis of CAOD and creating innovative strategies for counteracting the effects exerted on ovarian function. Our aim is that this narrative review of CAOD will stimulate more research in this important field.

Hydroxychloroquine in recurrent pregnancy loss: data from a French prospective multicenter registry.Human Reproduction (Oxford, England) Jun 2024What are the outcomes of pregnancies exposed to hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) in women with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), and what factors predict the course...
STUDY QUESTION
What are the outcomes of pregnancies exposed to hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) in women with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), and what factors predict the course of these pregnancies beyond the first trimester?
SUMMARY ANSWER
In our cohort of pregnancies in women with a history of RPL exposed to HCQ early in pregnancy, we found that the only factor determining the success of these pregnancies was the number of previous miscarriages.
WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY
Dysregulation of the maternal immune system plays a role in RPL. HCQ, with its dual immunomodulating and vascular protective effects, is a potential treatment for unexplained RPL.
STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION
The FALCO (Facteurs de récidive précoce des fausses couches) registry is an ongoing French multicenter infertility registry established in 2017 that includes women (aged from 18 to 49 years) with a history of spontaneous RPL (at least three early miscarriages (≤12 weeks of gestation (WG)) recruited from several university hospitals.
PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS
Spontaneous pregnancies enrolled in the FALCO registry with an exposure to HCQ (before conception or at the start of pregnancy) were included. Pregnancies concomitantly exposed to tumor necrosis factor inhibitors, interleukin-1 and -2 inhibitors, intravenous immunoglobulin, and/or intravenous intralipid infusion, were excluded. Concomitant treatment with low-dose aspirin (LDA), low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH), progesterone, and/or prednisone was allowed. All patients underwent the recommended evaluations for investigating RPL. Those who became pregnant received obstetric care in accordance with French recommendations and were followed prospectively. The main endpoint was the occurrence of a pregnancy continuing beyond 12 WG, and the secondary endpoint was the occurrence of a live birth.
MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE
One hundred pregnancies with HCQ exposure in 74 women were assessed. The mean age of the women was 34.2 years, and the median number of previous miscarriages was 5. Concomitant exposure was reported in 78 (78%) pregnancies for prednisone, 56 (56%) pregnancies for LDA, and 41 (41%) pregnancies for LMWH. Sixty-two (62%) pregnancies ended within 12 WG, the other 38 (38%) continuing beyond 12 WG. The risk of experiencing an additional early spontaneous miscarriage increased with the number of previous miscarriages, but not with age. The distributions of anomalies identified in RPL investigations and of exposure to other drugs were similar between pregnancies lasting ≤12 WG and those continuing beyond 12WG. The incidence of pregnancies progressing beyond 12 WG was not higher among pregnancies with at least one positive autoantibody (Ab) (i.e. antinuclear Ab titer ≥1:160, ≥1 positive conventional and/or non-conventional antiphospholipid Ab, and/or positive results for ≥1 antithyroid Ab) without diminished ovarian reserve (18/51, 35.3%) than among those without such autoantibody (18/45, 40.0%) (P = 0.63). Multivariate analysis showed that having ≤4 prior miscarriages was the only factor significantly predictive for achieving a pregnancy > 12 WG, after adjustment for age and duration of HCQ use prior to conception (adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 3.13 [1.31-7.83], P = 0.01).
LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION
Our study has limitations, including the absence of a control group, incomplete data for the diagnostic procedure for RPL in some patients, and the unavailability of results from endometrial biopsies, as well as information about paternal age and behavioral factors. Consequently, not all potential confounding factors could be considered.
WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS
Exposure to HCQ in early pregnancy for women with a history of RPL does not seem to prevent further miscarriages, suggesting limited impact on mechanisms related to the maternal immune system.

Estimated effects of opioid agonist treatment in prison on all-cause mortality and overdose mortality in people released from prison in Norway: a prospective analysis of data from the Norwegian Prison Release Study (nPRIS).
BACKGROUND
Overdose is the leading cause of death for people released from prison, and opioid agonist treatment is associated with reductions in mortality after imprisonment. However, few studies have explored the interplay of the potential modifiable risk factors and protective factors for mortality after release from prison. We aimed to describe all-cause mortality and overdose mortality among individuals released from Norwegian prisons during 2000-22 and to identify pre-existing risk factors associated with both types of mortality among these individuals for 6 months.
METHODS
For this prospective analysis, we used data from the Norwegian Prison Release Study (nPRIS), which includes all people in prison in Norway between Jan 1, 2000, and Dec 31, 2022; the Norwegian Cause of Death Registry; the Norwegian Prison Registry; the Norwegian Patient Registry; and Statistics Norway. All prisons in Norway that were open during this period were included. People who did not have a Norwegian personal identification number or were serving their sentence outside of prison units were excluded from this analysis. To identify pre-existing risk factors associated with all-cause and overdose mortality among people released from prison, we left-censored the observation period on Jan 1, 2010, creating a subsample of individuals. We calculated crude mortality rates (CMRs) and corresponding 95% CIs as the number of deaths per 100 000 person-years for several time periods after release. The primary outcomes were all-cause mortality and overdose mortality according to the ICD-10, assessed in all participants and analysed via two separate Cox proportional-hazards models.
FINDINGS
The total nPRIS cohort included 112 877 individuals released from prison in Norway between 2000 and 2022, 11 995 (10·6%) of whom were female and 100 865 (89·4%) of whom were male. We identified 13 004 instances of all-cause mortality and 3085 instances of overdose mortality during the 1 463 035 person-years. The estimated CMR for all-cause mortality was 889 (95% CI 874-904) per 100 000 person-years and for overdose mortality was 211 (203-218) per 100 000 person-years. Among people diagnosed with opioid use disorder before entering prison during 2010-22 (n=6830), provision of opioid agonist treatment was estimated to be associated with reductions in both all-cause mortality (hazard ratio 0·58, 95% CI 0·39-0·85) and overdose mortality (0·51, 0·31-0·82) in the 6 months after leaving prison after adjustment for sociodemographic, prison-related, and clinical characteristics.
INTERPRETATION
In people diagnosed with opioid use disorder released from Norwegian prisons, opioid agonist treatment provided while in prison was a protective factor for both all-cause and overdose mortality at 6 months. Provision of opioid agonist treatment while in prison is crucial in reducing mortality for 6 months after release and should be available to all people in prison who have treatment needs.

OBJECTIVES
Investigate readmission rates, diagnoses associated with readmission, and associations with mortality through 90-days post-operatively after elective endovascular thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic repair overall and by extent of coverage.
METHODS
A cohort of index elective non-traumatic endovascular thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic cases from 2010-2018 was derived from the Vascular Implant Surveillance and Interventional Outcomes Network. Cohort readmissions within 90-days postoperative were examined both overall and by Crawford extent (CE) of aortic coverage. Postoperative mortality was examined by reason for readmission and CE.
RESULTS
The cohort consisted of 2,093 patients who underwent endovascular thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic repair (1,541 CE 0A/0B; 240 CE 1-3; 312 CE 4-5). Cumulative risk for 90-day readmission was 34.3% in CE 0A/0B repairs, 33.4% in CE4-5 repairs and 47.4% in CE 1-3 repairs. Compared to CE 0A/B, patients with CE 1-3 repairs experienced an increased risk of readmission within 90 days postoperatively after adjusting for preoperative factors (aHR 1.27(1.00,1.61) while the readmission risk for CE 4-5 repairs did not differ significantly (aHR 0.83 (0.64,1.06). Significant risk factors for 90-day readmission included COPD, dialysis dependence, limited ambulation, visceral/spinal ischemia, and in-hospital stroke. Discharge to home was protective against readmission (HR 0.65, CI 0.54-0.79). Patients with a readmission within 90-days had a 7.89-fold increase in 90-day mortality (HR 7.84; 5.17, 11.9) compared to those not readmitted.
CONCLUSIONS
Increasing extent of endovascular thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic repair was associated with higher 90-day readmission rates. Readmission for all CE was associated with near 8-fold increased risk of mortality. Risk factors associated with increased risk for readmission included pulmonary insufficiency, renal disease, and poor functional status. These findings can inform stakeholders about investment of resources to improve processes of care that both target prevention and mitigate risk of readmission after elective endovascular thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic repair.

Review
Although numerous studies have investigated modifiable risk factors for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) among community-dwelling seniors, no meta-analysis has summarized these findings. Five databases were searched from January 1, 2000, to December 30, 2023. The protocol was registered with PROSPERO. Data were extracted and reported following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Relevant meta-analyses of modifiable risk factors were performed. The evidence of each factor was assessed by the GRADE for cohort studies. Of 16,651 citations, 87 studies involving 225,584 community-dwelling seniors were included. Fourteen meta-analyses involving 20 studies with 44,199 participants were performed. The analyses revealed low-to-moderate-quality evidence supporting that diabetes, 2 or more comorbidities, anxiety, apathy, depressive symptoms, and physical frailty were risk factors for incident MCI in older adults. Conversely, hypertension, agitation, and irritability might not be risk factors. Additionally, moderate-quality evidence supports the protective effect of engaging in cognitive-demanding activities on the onset of MCI. Collectively, this study constitutes the first extensive compilation of evidence regarding the various risk factors for the development of MCI in older adults. Our findings hold significant potential to guide the formulation of prevention and management strategies to either prevent or potentially reverse the onset of MCI.

Postweaning diarrhea (PWD) is a multifactorial disease caused by different aetiological agents, like viruses or bacteria and where the role of the microbiota remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess differences between healthy and diarrheic weaned pigs concerning the prevalence of pathogens and changes in the intestinal microbiota. Eighteen farms with PWD were selected and 277 fecal samples were collected (152 diarrheic vs 125 healthy). Presence of Rotavirus A (RVA), B (RVB), C (RVC) and Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV), virulence factors of Escherichia coli and Clostridioides difficile were analyzed by PCR. Finally, the microbiota composition was also study by 16 S rRNA sequencing on 148 samples (102 diarrheic vs 46 healthy). RVA (53.95 % vs 36 %, p=0.04) and RVB (49.67 % vs 28.8 %, p<0.001) were more frequent in diarrheic animals. Furthermore, RVA viral load was higher in diseased animals. VT2 toxin was significantly associated with diarrhea, whereas other virulence factors were not. Presence of C. difficile and PEDV was almost negligible. Regarding microbiota changes, Fusobacteriota phylum was more frequent in diarrheic samples and Ruminococcaceae family in healthy penmates. During the first week postweaning, Enterobacteriace and Campylobacteria were enriched in animals presenting diarrhea. Furthermore, Lactobacillus was detected in those individuals with no RVA infection. In conclusion, RVA seems to play a primary role in PWD. Classic E. coli virulence factors were not associated with diarrhea, indicating the need for revising their implication in disease. Moreover, Lactobacillus was found frequently in animals negative for RVA, suggesting some protective effect.
