001). Both parents (89/100, 89%) and staff (87/100, 87%) regarded inpatient opportunistic vaccination acceptable. Parents of children with chronic disease reported a potentially higher rate of missed vaccinations, stating reasons of frequent illness and inpatient stays. The majority of staff (81/95, 85.3%) would be willing to support inpatient vaccination if appropriately trained. A significant minority had reservations. CONCLUSIONS Opportunistic vaccination is a strategy deemed acceptable by the majority of parents and staff. Children with chronic disease would especially benefit from opportunistic inpatient immunisation. In order to facilitate this, improved digital access to primary care vaccination records and investment in staff training, education and support would be required. 15-Year-old man's cardiac event monitor showed an episode of wide complex tachycardia which transitioned into narrow complex tachycardia. The tachycardia cycle length was shorter during wide complex tachycardia compared with narrow complex tachycardia. He underwent electrophysiology study in which an orthodromic atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (wide and narrow complex tachycardia) utilizing left posterolateral bypass tract was induced. We propose the mechanism for shorter tachycardia cycle length during wide complex tachycardia compared with narrow complex tachycardia. Tristetraprolin (TTP) regulates inflammatory and immune responses by destabilizing target mRNAs via binding to their 3'-UTR AREs. We have recently reported that TTP preferentially up-regulates the expression level of innate immunity genes involved in the type I interferon-mediated signaling pathway and viral response in cancer cells. To elucidate the role of TTP-RNA interaction in TTP-mediated upregulation of gene expression, we performed iRIP-seq experiments to obtain the RNA interaction map consisting of direct and indirect binding sites of TTP in HeLa cells. We found substantial TTP binding signals in mRNA regions and the introns. ARE-motif AUUUA is over-represented in TTP binding peaks. Strikingly, AUUUA frequency is high both in 3'UTR and intronic regions, and the intronic peaks were more associated with TTP-regulated genes. Analysis of the over-represented motifs in TTP peaks revealed the high frequencies of UAGG and GUGUG motifs reported for hnRNPA2/B1 and CELF1 respectively in the 3'UTR and introns, and also the UGGAC motif overlapping with the m6A motif GGACU in the CDS regions. We further demonstrated that TTP binds to multiple intronic and exonic sites in the pre-mRNA/mRNA of the transcription factor RelB, correlating with the TTP-upregulated expression of RelB. TTP-up-regulated genes without a TTP binding site, but not those with, are highly enriched in innate immunity pathways and show higher tendency of harboring RelB binding sites in their promoter regions. These findings support a model in which TTP binding of RelB pre-mRNA/mRNA coordinates the RelB upregulation and activation of the innate immunity for antiviral response. Shigellosis is a diarrheal disease that causes high mortality every year, especially in children, elderly and immunocompromised patients. Recently, resistance strains to antibiotic therapy are in the rise and the World Health Organization prioritizes the development of a safe vaccine against the most common causal agent of shigellosis, Shigella flexneri. This pathogen uses autotransporter proteins such as SigA, Pic and Sap to increase virulence and some of them have been described as highly immunogenic proteins. In this study, we used immune-informatics analysis to identify the most antigenic epitope as a vaccine candidate on three passenger domains of auto-transporter proteins encoded on the pathogenic island SHI-1, to induce immunity against S. flexneri. Epitope identification was done using various servers such as Bepipred, Bcepred, nHLAPRED, NetMHCII, Rankpep and IEDB and the final selection was done based on its antigenicity using the VaxiJen server. Moreover, to enhance immunity, the GroEL adjuvant was added to the final construct as a Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) agonist. On the other hand, to predict the tertiary structure, the I-TASSER server was used, and the best model was structurally validated using the ProSA-web software and the Ramachandran plot. Subsequently, the model was refined and used for docking and molecular dynamics analyses with TLR2, which demonstrated an appropriate and stable interaction. In summary, a potential subunit vaccine candidate, that contains B and T cell epitopes with proper physicochemical properties was designed. This multiepitope vaccine is expected to elicit robust humoral and cellular immune responses and vest protective immunity against S. flexneri. Application of 1064 nm activatable NIR-IIa fluorescence imaging (FI) and NIR-II photothermal therapy (PTT) results in high-resolution imaging and good deep-tissue therapy, respectively. Combining NIR-IIa FI with NIR-II PTT may allow precise diagnosis guided efficient treatment of deep-tissue tumors. However, designing a 1064 activatable theranostic nanoplatform using a single dye for both NIR-IIa FI and NIR-II PTT is a challenge. Herein, we synthesized squaraine-based semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (PSQPNs-DBCO) that were excited by a 1064 nm laser for precise NIR-IIa fluorescence imaging guided NIR-II PTT treatment. Combined with bioorthogonal labeling technology, the PSQPNs-DBCO largely accumulated in the tumor section, extremely enhancing signal-to-background ratio (SBR) of imaging and NIR-II PTT efficiency of tumor in live colorectal-bearing animals. BACKGROUND Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibodies (Abs) have been associated with a heterogeneous range of acquired CNS demyelinating disorders. More recently, increasing evidence correlates the presence of such Abs with seizures, occurring in concomitance with CNS demyelinating events, or even as isolated phenomena. In this scenario, the full clinical spectrum of MOG Ab-associated seizures and the contribution of such Abs to epileptogenesis are unclear. Selleckchem OSS_128167 METHODS We report on two paradigmatic cases of MOG Ab-associated seizures, one showing isolated seizures, without evidence of encephalopathy or MRI changes, followed by a demyelinating event one month later, and the other presenting with seizures as the main manifestation of an acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) event. To better frame this topic, we performed a literature review, identifying 49 patients with MOG Ab-associated disorders presenting seizures at any stage of their disease, and analysed the clinico-therapeutic, brain MRI, cerebrospinal fluid, and EEG features.
