Mobile phone screen sampling can detect new coronavirus
Mobile phone screen sampling can detect new coronavirusSource: eLife
Source: eLife Source: eLifeRecently, in a work published in eLife, the research team developed a mobile phone screen detection (PoST) method that can use samples collected from mobile phone screens to detect the new coronavirus
.
People who tested positive by routine nasal swabs also tested positive from mobile phone screens, and the virus was detected on mobile phones of 81% to 100% of highly infectious people
The PoST method can not only make large-scale testing of the new crown easier, but also can be used to contain the outbreak of unknown viruses and avoid future pandemics

COV2.
S showed strong and lasting activity against the rapidly spreading Delta variant and other widely spreading new crown virus variants
.
Data from another study showed that the immune response triggered by the vaccine can last at least 8 months
Ad26.
COV2.
S is a new coronavirus vaccine that uses adenovirus serotype 26 (Ad26) vector to express the new coronavirus spike protein.
It only needs one shot to provide protection

Source: Biophysical Journal Source: Biophysical JournalIn a work published in the Biophysical Journal on July 2, researchers used a cell real-time deformation measuring instrument and found that the new coronavirus can significantly change the size and hardness of red blood cells and white blood cells in the human body.
It can take as long as several months
.
The study also found that the oxygen supply capacity of red blood cells in patients with new coronary pneumonia is also impaired during the infection, and the patients' lymphocytes have also become significantly softer
.
In addition, 7 months after infection, the patient's neutrophils still had significant changes
This finding may help explain why some symptoms will persist for a long time in patients with new coronary pneumonia

Source: Cell Source: CellOn July 6, a study published in Cell pointed out that the T372A single-mutation new coronavirus adapts to the key mutation of the human host
.
By analyzing 182,000 SARS-CoV-2 genomes, the researchers discovered an important base mutation tag (A1114G).
This mutation is present in all human SARS-CoV-2 sequences, but not in related bat and pangolin coronaviruses

WTO includes interleukin-6 receptor antagonist in new crown treatment plan
WTO includes interleukin-6 receptor antagonist in new crown treatment planOn July 6, the WHO updated the guidelines for the care of patients with COVID-19, including interleukin-6 receptor antagonists in the list of available drugs.
This is a class of drugs that have a life-saving effect on critically ill patients with COVID-19 and is used in combination with corticosteroids.
The effect is particularly remarkable
.
Compared with standard therapy, the use of interleukin-6 receptor antagonists in critically ill patients with new coronary disease can reduce the mortality rate by 13%, and the number of deaths per 1,000 critically ill patients can be reduced by 28; the chance of mechanical ventilation in critically ill patients is reduced By 28%, the number of critically ill patients requiring mechanical ventilation can be reduced by 23

The small RNA of the new coronavirus may predict the occurrence of severe illness

Source: Cell Discovery Source: Cell DiscoveryOn July 6, in a paper published in Cell Discovery, researchers identified a microRNA-like small RNA (milRNA) encoded by the new coronavirus in the serum of patients with new coronavirus.
milRNA only exists in the sera of severely ill patients, and is not detected in the sera of mild patients and healthy people
.
The data shows that the accuracy of this marker for predicting severe illness is as high as 97.
In clinical treatment, the monitoring of this milRNA will hopefully help doctors to determine the course of the disease of patients with new coronary disease in advance, and to closely monitor and treat patients who are about to enter the severe phase, thereby reducing patient mortality

Source: Nature Communications Source: Nature CommunicationsOn July 6, a study published in Nature Communications showed that more than 70% of patients recovered from COVID-19 had positive antibody levels within 12 months after infection, and their antibody titers remained positive.
It stabilized at the 9th month (a decrease of about 64% from the beginning of the infection)
.
After stabilization, the antibody titer can be maintained until the 12th month without showing a significant downward trend
The study also found that in the first to two months after infection with the new crown, the antibody titers in men were higher than in women, but there was no significant difference between the 6th and 7th months and the 11th and 12th months
.
The study included 869 patients who recovered from natural infections in Wuhan, and a total of 1782 plasma samples were collected and analyzed

Source: Nature Source: NatureIn a work published in Nature on July 7, researchers analyzed the serum of 5 immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia patients (average age 44) who had received a dose of AstraZeneca vaccine.
It was found that the antibodies in their bodies would bind to a protein involved in blood coagulation, and the binding site and the site where the anticoagulant drug heparin binds to the protein were the same
.
The two combine to form immune complexes, which then activate platelets through another receptor on the platelet surface, which may cause blood clotting, leading to thrombocytopenia and thrombosis

A new target for the treatment of new crowns has been discoveredSource: Nature Cell Biology
Source: Nature Cell Biology Source: Nature Cell BiologyOn July 8, a study published in Nature Cell Biology revealed the relationship between nucleocapsid protein (SARS2-NP)-mediated innate immune escape, protein post-translational modification, and mutation Mechanism, SARS2-NP protein has the ability to undergo liquid-liquid phase separation, and the dimerization domain in it is very critical for its phase separation activity
.
The researchers found that the NP protein contains a highly acetylated site, and the mimic acetylation mutation at this site will destroy the liquid-liquid phase separation ability of the SARS2-NP protein, proving that the phase separation activity of the SARS2-NP protein can be used as a new crown Possible therapeutic targets after virus infection provide new possibilities for related drug development
