Platelet thromboxane(11-dehydro-Thromboxane B_2) and aspirin response in patients with diabetes and coronary artery disease

Aspirin(ASA) irreversibly inhibits platelet cyclooxygenase-1(COX-1) leading to decreased thromboxane-mediated platelet activation. The effect of ASA ingestion on thromboxane generation was evaluated in patients with diabetes(DM) and cardiovascular disease. Thromboxane inhibition was assessed by measuring the urinary excretion of 11-dehydro-thromboxane B2(11dhTxB2), a stable metabolite of thromboxane A2. The mean baseline urinary 11dhTxB2 of DM was 69.6% higher than healthy controls(P = 0.024): female subjects(DM and controls) had 50.9% higher baseline 11dhTxB2 than males(P = 0.0004), while age or disease duration had no influence. Daily ASA ingestion inhibited urinary 11dhTxB2 in both DM(71.7%) and controls(75.1%, P < 0.0001). Using a pre-established cut-off of 1500 pg/mg of urinary 11dhTxB2, there were twice as many ASA poor responders(ASA "resistant") in DM than in controls(14.8% and 8.4%, respectively). The rate of ASA poor responders in two populations of acute coronary syndrome(ACS) patients was 28.6 and 28.7%, in spite of a significant(81.6%) inhibition of urinary 11dhTxB2(P < 0.0001). Both baseline 11dhTxB2 levels and rate of poor ASA responders were significantly higher in DM and ACS compared to controls. Underlying systemic oxidative inflammation may maintain platelet function in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease irrespective of COX-1 pathway inhibition and/or increase systemic generation of thromboxane from non-platelet sources.

ABO incompatible renal transplants:Good or bad?

ABO incompatible kidney transplantation(ABOi-KT) was previously considered to be an absolute contraindication for patients with end-stage kidney disease(ESKD) due to hyperacute rejection related to blood type barrier. Since the first successful series of ABOi-KT was reported, ABOi-KT is performed increasingly all over the world. ABOi-KT has led to an expanded donor pool and reduced the number of patients with ESKD awaiting deceased kidney transplantation(KT). Intensified immunosuppression and immunological understanding has helped to shape current desensitization protocols. Consequently, in recent years, ABOi-KT outcome is comparable to ABO compatible KT(ABOc-KT). However, many questions still remain unanswered. In ABOi-KT, there is an additional residual immunological risk that maylead to allograft damage, despite using current diverse but usually intensified immunosuppressive protocols at the expense of increasing risk of infection and possibly malignancy. Notably, in ABOi-KT, desensitization and antibody reduction therapies have increased the cost of KT. Reassuringly, there has been an evolution in ABOiKT leading to a simplification of protocols over the last decade. This review provides an overview of the history, outcome, protocol, advantages and disadvantages in ABOi-KT, and focuses on whether ABOi-KT should be recommended as a therapeutic option of KT in the future.

Angiotensin-（1-7）： new perspectives in atherosclerosis treatment

Angiotensin （Ang）-（1-7） is recognized as a new bioactive peptide in renin-angiotensin system （RAS）. Ang-（1-7） is a counter-regulatory mediator of Ang-II which appears to be protective against cardiovascular disease. Recent studies have found that Ang-（1-7） played an important role in reducing smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration, improving endothelial function and regulating lipid metabolism, leading to inhibition of atherosclerotic lesions and increase of plaque stability. Although clinical application of Ang-（1-7） is restricted due to its pharmacokinetic properties, identification of stabilized compounds, including more stable analogues and specific delivery compounds, has enabled clinical application of Ang-（1-7）. In this review, we discussed recent findings concerning the biological role of Ang-（1-7） and related mechanism during atherosclerosis development. In addition, we highlighted the perspective to develop therapeutic strategies using Ang-（1-7） to treat atherosclerosis.

Glucagon-like peptide 1 in the pathophysiology and pharmacotherapy of clinical obesity

Though the pathophysiology of clinical obesity is un-doubtedly multifaceted, several lines of clinical evidence implicate an important functional role for glucagon-like peptide 1(GLP-1) signalling. Clinical studies assessing GLP-1 responses in normal weight and obese subjects suggest that weight gain may induce functional deficits in GLP-1 signalling that facilitates maintenance of the obesity phenotype. In addition, genetic studies implicate a possible role for altered GLP-1 signalling as a risk factor towards the development of obesity. As reductions in functional GLP-1 signalling seem to play a role in clinical obesity, the pharmacological replenishment seems a promising target for the medical management of obesity in clinical practice. GLP-1 analogue liraglutide at a high dose(3 mg/d) has shown promising results in achieving and maintaining greater weight loss in obese individuals compared to placebo control, and currently licensed antiobesity medications. Generally well tolerated, provided that longer-term data in clinical practice supports the currently available evidence of superior short- and longterm weight loss efficacy, GLP-1 analogues provide promise towards achieving the successful, sustainable medical management of obesity that remains as yet, an unmet clinical need.

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in cancer: Reported apparent diffusion coefficients,in-vitro and invivo reproducibility

There is considerable disparity in the published apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC) values across different anatomies. Institutions are increasingly assessing repeatability and reproducibility of the derived ADC to determine its variation,which could potentially be used as an indicator in determining tumour aggressiveness or assessing tumour response. In this manuscript,a review of selected articles published to date in healthy extracranial body diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging is presented,detailing reported ADC values and discussing their variation across different studies. In total 115 studies were selected including 28 for liver parenchyma,15 for kidney(renal parenchyma),14 for spleen,13 for pancreatic body,6 for gallbladder,13 for prostate,13 for uterus(endometrium,myometrium,cervix) and 13 for fibroglandular breast tissue. Median ADC values in selected studies were found to be 1.28 × 10-3 mm2/s in liver,1.94 × 10-3 mm2/s in kidney,1.60 × 10-3 mm2/s in pancreatic body,0.85 × 10-3 mm2/s in spleen,2.73 × 10-3 mm2/s in gallbladder,1.64 × 10-3 mm2/s and 1.31 × 10-3 mm2/s in prostate peripheral zone and central gland respectively(combined median value of 1.54×10-3 mm2/s),1.44 × 10-3 mm2/s in endometrium,1.53 × 10-3 mm2/s in myometrium,1.71 × 10-3 mm2/s in cervix and 1.92 × 10-3 mm2/s in breast. In addition,six phantom studies and thirteen in vivo studies were summarized to compare repeatability and reproducibility of the measured ADC. All selected phantom studies demonstrated lower intra-scanner and inter-scanner variation compared to in vivo studies. Based on the findings of this manuscript,it is recommended that protocols need to be optimised for the body part studied and that system-induced variability must be established using a standardized phantom in any clinical study. Reproducibility of the measured ADC must also be assessed in a volunteer population,as variations are far more significant in vivo compared with phantom studies.

T cells in pancreatic cancer stroma

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC)is a highly devastating disease with a dismal 5-year survival rate.PDAC has a complex tumour microenvironment;characterised by a robust desmoplastic stroma,extensive infiltration of immunesuppressive cells such as immature myeloid cells,tumour-associated macrophages,neutrophils and regulatory T cells,and the presence of exhausted and senescent T cells.The cross-talk between cells in this fibrotic tumour establishes an immune-privileged microenvironment that supports tumour cell escape from immune-surveillance,disease progression and spread to distant organs.PDAC tumours,considered to be non-immunogenic or cold,express low mutation burden,low infiltration of CD8+cytotoxic lymphocytes that are localised along the invasive margin of the tumour border in the surrounding fibrotic tissue,and often display an exhausted phenotype.Here,we review the role of T cells in pancreatic cancer,examine the complex interactions of these crucial effector units within pancreatic cancer stroma and shed light on the increasingly attractive use of T cells as therapy.

Assessing the accuracy of arthroscopic and open measurements of the size of rotator cuff tears: A simulation-based study

BACKGROUND Arthroscopic procedures are commonly performed for rotator cuff pathology.Repair of rotator cuff tears is a commonly performed procedure.The intraoperative evaluation of the tear size and pattern contributes to the choice and completion of the technique and the prognosis of the repair.AIM To compare the arthroscopic and open measurements with the real dimensions of three different patterns of simulated rotator cuff tears of known size using a plastic shoulder model.METHODS We created three sizes and patterns of simulated supraspinatus tears on a plastic shoulder model(small and large U-shaped,oval-shaped).Six orthopaedic surgeons with three levels of experience measured the dimensions of the tears arthroscopically,using a 5 mm probe,repeating the procedure three times,and then using a ruler(open technique).Arthroscopic,open and computerized measurements were compared.RESULTS A constant underestimation of specific dimensions of the tears was found when measured with an arthroscope,compared to both the open and computerized measurements(mean differences up to-7.5±5.8 mm,P<0.001).No differences were observed between the open and computerized measurements(mean difference-0.4±1.6 mm).The accuracy of arthroscopic and open measurements was 90.5%and 98.5%,respectively.When comparing between levels of experience,senior residents reported smaller tear dimensions when compared both to staff surgeons and fellows.CONCLUSION This study suggests that arthroscopic measurements of full-thickness rotator cuff tears constantly underestimate the dimensions of the tears.Development of more precise arthroscopic techniques or tools for the evaluation of the size and type of rotator cuff tears are necessary.

Method Development for the Detection of Basic/Weak Basic Drugs in Hair by LCMSMS: Comparison between Methanolic and Alkaline Extraction on Real Samples

Detection of drugs in hair has become popular in recent years. The significantly long drug detection window (months) in hair has allowed the retrospective investigation and measurement of past consumption of drug. As the majority of drugs are basic, an extraction method was developed based on a methanolic solution for detection of basic/weak basic drugs in hair. It was compared with alkaline digestion (NaOH) followed by LLE. A filtration step with filtration vials was added and their materials were compared. After filtration, extracts were injected directly onto a C18 column coupled to Sciex ABI 2000 MSMS. The mobile phase was 50% methanol, 0.1% formic acid and 2 mM ammonium acetate (isocratic). Both methods were compared by applying them to real samples. Results showed that calibration was linear with r2 of 0.991-0.999 for 20 tested analytes. The matrix effect was assessed to be between 91.4%- 110.2% for 18 analytes. PTFE filter material showed better recoveries over the GMF and PVDF based filters. Stability of analytes during extraction in general was better with methanolic incubation rather than alkaline digestion. With regard to real sample recovery, 6 out of 10 analytes recovered better with alkaline digestion. In conclusion, the methanolic method is capable of extracting most basic drugs in hair samples but only part of the total incorporated drug. Therefore, these results suggest that a combination of both methods (methanolic and alkaline extractions) in hair sample processing for general detection of basic and weak basic drugs may produce better results. However, not all basic drugs are stable under alkaline digestion.

Improved lifestyle is associated with improved depression,anxiety and wellbeing over time in UK healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic:insights from the CoPE-HCP cohort study

Background One potential modifiable factor to improve the mental health of healthcare professionals(HCPs)during the pandemic is lifestyle.Aims This study aimed to assess whether an improved lifestyle during the pandemic is associated with improved mental health symptoms and mental well-being in HCPs over time.Methods This was a cohort study involving an online survey distributed at two separate time points during the pandemic(baseline(July–September 2020)and follow-up(December 2020–March 2021))to HCPs working in primary or secondary care in the UK.Both surveys assessed for major depressive disorder(MDD)(Patient Health Questionnaire-9(PHQ-9)),generalised anxiety disorder(GAD)(Generalised Anxiety Disorder-7(GAD-7)),mental well-being(Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Score(SWEMWBS))and self-reported lifestyle change(compared with the start of the pandemic)on multiple domains.Cumulative scores were calculated to estimate overall lifestyle change compared with that before the pandemic(at both baseline and follow-up).At each time point,separate logistic regression models were constructed to relate the lifestyle change score with the presence of MDD,GAD and low mental well-being.Linear regression models were also developed relating the change in lifestyle scores from baseline to follow-up to changes in PHQ-9,GAD-7 and SWEMWBS scores.Results 613 HCPs completed both baseline assessment and follow-up assessment.Consistent significant cross-sectional associations between increased lifestyle change scores and a reduced risk of MDD,GAD and low mental well-being were observed at both baseline and follow-up.Over the study period,a whole unit increase in the change in novel scores(ie,improved overall lifestyle)over 4 months was inversely associated with changes in PHQ-9(adjusted coefficient:−0.51,95%confidence interval(CI):−0.73 to−0.30,p<0.001)and GAD-7 scores(adjusted coefficient:−0.32,95%CI:−0.53 to−0.10,p=0.004)and positively associated with the change in SWEMWBS scores(adjusted coefficient:0.37,95%CI:0.18 to 0.55,p<0.001).Conclusions Improved lifestyle over time is associated with improved mental health and mental well-being in HCPs during the pandemic.Improving lifestyle could be a recommended intervention for HCPs to help mitigate the mental health impact during the current and future pandemics.

Aging and uremia:Is there cellular and molecular crossover?

Many observers have noted that the morphological changes that occur in chronic kidney disease(CKD) patients resemble those seen in the geriatric population, with strikingly similar morbidity and mortality profiles and rates of frailty in the two groups, and shared characteristics at a pathophysiological level especially in respect to the changes seen in their vascular andimmune systems. However, whilst much has been documented about the shared physical characteristics of aging and uremia, the molecular and cellular similarities between the two have received less attention. In order to bridge this perceived gap we have reviewed published research concerning the common molecular processes seen in aging subjects and CKD patients, with specific attention to altered proteostasis, mitochondrial dysfunction, post-translational protein modification, and senescence and telomere attrition. We have also sought to illustrate how the cell death and survival pathways apoptosis, necroptosis and autophagy are closely interrelated, and how an understanding of these overlapping pathways is helpful in order to appreciate the shared molecular basis behind the pathophysiology of aging and uremia. This analysis revealed many common molecular characteristics and showed similar patterns of cellular dysfunction. We conclude that the accelerated aging seen in patients with CKD is underpinned at the molecular level, and that a greater understanding of these molecular processes might eventually lead to new much needed therapeutic strategies of benefit to patients with renal disease.

B cells in pancreatic cancer stroma

Pancreatic cancer is a disease with high unmet clinical need.Pancreatic cancer is also characterised by an intense fibrotic stroma,which harbours many immune cells.Studies in both human and animal models have demonstrated that the immune system plays a crucial role in modulating tumour onset and progression.In human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma,high B-cell infiltration correlates with better patient survival.Hence,B cells have received recent interest in pancreatic cancer as potential therapeutic targets.However,the data on the role of B cells in murine models is unclear as it is dependent on the pancreatic cancer model used to study.Nevertheless,it appears that B cells do organise along with other immune cells such as a network of follicular dendritic cells(DCs),surrounded by T cells and DCs to form tertiary lymphoid structures(TLS).TLS are increasingly recognised as sites for antigen presentation,T-cell activation,Bcell maturation and differentiation in plasma cells.In this review we dissect the role of B cells and provide directions for future studies to harness the role of B cells in treatment of human pancreatic cancer.

Metabolic reprogramming by Syntenin-1 directs RA FLS and endothelial cell-mediated inflammation and angiogenesis

A novel rheumatoid arthritis(RA)synovial fluid protein,Syntenin-1,and its receptor,Syndecan-1(SDC-1),are colocalized on RA synovial tissue endothelial cells and fibroblast-like synoviocytes(FLS).Syntenin-1 exacerbates the inflammatory landscape of endothelial cells and RA FLS by upregulating transcription of IRF1/5/7/9,IL-1β,IL-6,and CCL2 through SDC-1 ligation and HIF1α,or mTOR activation.Mechanistically,Syntenin-1 orchestrates RA FLS and endothelial cell invasion via SDC-1 and/or mTOR signaling.In Syntenin-1 reprogrammed endothelial cells,the dynamic expression of metabolic intermediates coincides with escalated glycolysis along with unchanged oxidative factors,AMPK,PGC-1α,citrate,and inactive oxidative phosphorylation.Conversely,RA FLS rewired by Syntenin-1 displayed a modest glycolytic-ATP accompanied by a robust mitochondrial-ATP capacity.The enriched mitochondrial-ATP detected in Syntenin-1 reprogrammed RA FLS was coupled with mitochondrial fusion and fission recapitulated by escalated Mitofusin-2 and DRP1 expression.We found that VEGFR1/2 and Notch1 networks are responsible for the crosstalk between Syntenin-1 rewired endothelial cells and RA FLS,which are also represented in RA explants.Similar to RA explants,morphological and transcriptome studies authenticated the importance of VEGFR1/2,Notch1,RAPTOR,and HIF1αpathways in Syntenin-1 arthritic mice and their obstruction in SDC-1 deficient animals.Consistently,dysregulation of SDC-1,mTOR,and HIF1αnegated Syntenin-1 inflammatory phenotype in RA explants,while inhibition of HIF1αimpaired synovial angiogenic imprint amplified by Syntenin-1.In conclusion,since the current therapies are ineffective on Syntenin-1 and SDC-1 expression in RA synovial tissue and blood,targeting this pathway and its interconnected metabolic intermediates may provide a novel therapeutic strategy.

The Role of Progenitor Cells in the Pathogenesis of Arteriosclerosis

The increasing incidence of arteriosclerosis has become a significant global health burden.Arteriosclerosis is characterized by the thickening and hardening of arterial walls,which can lead to the narrowing or complete blockage of blood vessels.However,the pathogenesis of the disease remains incompletely understood.Recent research has shown that stem and progenitor cells found in the bone marrow and local vessel walls play a role in the development of arteriosclerosis by differentiating into various types of vascular cells,including endothelial cells,smooth muscle cells,fibroblasts,and inflammatory cells.This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the role of stem and progenitor cells in the pathogenesis of arteriosclerosis,shedding light on the underlying mechanisms and potential therapeutic approaches for this disease.

Tumor-associated myeloid cells:diversity and therapeutic targeting

Myeloid cells in tumor tissues constitute a dynamic immune population characterized by a non-uniform phenotype and diverse functional activities.Both tumor-associated macrophages(TAMs),which are more abundantly represented,and tumor-associated neutrophils(TANs)are known to sustain tumor cell growth and invasion,support neoangiogenesis and suppress anticancer adaptive immune responses.In recent decades,several therapeutic approaches have been implemented in preclinical cancer models to neutralize the tumor-promoting roles of both TAMs and TANs.Some of the most successful strategies have now reached the clinic and are being investigated in clinical trials.In this review,we provide an overview of the recent literature on the evergrowing complexity of the biology of TAMs and TANs and the development of the most promising approaches to target these populations therapeutically in cancer patients.

Crystal structure of SARS-CoV-2 main protease in complex with the natural product inhibitor shikonin illuminates a unique binding mode

Almost everyone is susceptible to the severe acute respiratorysyndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2),an RNA virus,which cancause many symptoms and even death among high-risk individu-als[1,2].The main protease(M^(Pro),also known as 3CL^(Pro))is a cys-teine protease essential for producing infectious virions and thusan attractive target for drug development.Up to now,many studiesusing either in silico ligand docking or drug discovery based onavailable structures have been performed to discover new MPTO.inhibiting agents[3.4].

Through-needle all-optical ultrasound imaging in vivo: a preclinical swine study

High-frequency ultrasound imaging can provide exquisite visualizations of tissue to guide minimally invasive procedures.Here,we demonstrate that an all-optical ultrasound transducer,through which light guided by optical fibers is used to generate and receive ultrasound,is suitable for real-time invasive medical imaging in vivo.Broad-bandwidth ultrasound generation was achieved through the photoacoustic excitation of a multiwalled carbon nanotube-polydimethylsiloxane composite coating on the distal end of a 300-μm multi-mode optical fiber by a pulsed laser.The interrogation of a high-finesse Fabry–Pérot cavity on a single-mode optical fiber by a wavelength-tunable continuous-wave laser was applied for ultrasound reception.This transducer was integrated within a custom inner transseptal needle(diameter 1.08 mm;length 78 cm)that included a metallic septum to acoustically isolate the two optical fibers.The use of this needle within the beating heart of a pig provided unprecedented realtime views(50 Hz scan rate)of cardiac tissue(depth:2.5 cm;axial resolution:64μm)and revealed the critical anatomical structures required to safely perform a transseptal crossing:the right and left atrial walls,the right atrial appendage,and the limbus fossae ovalis.This new paradigm will allow ultrasound imaging to be integrated into a broad range of minimally invasive devices in different clinical contexts.

Novel SARS-CoV-2 outbreak and COVID19 disease;a systemic review on the global pandemic

Since the beginning of the 21st century,several viral outbreaks have threatened humankind and posed a new challenge to the modern healthcare system.The recent outbreak in Wuhan(December 2019),China,represents a beta coronavirus classified as novel Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus-2(SARS-CoV-2)which belongs to the Coronaviridae family.Novel SARS-CoV-2 represents a significant similarity with previous coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV in 2002,China and MERS-CoV in 2015,Middle East.However,preliminary research investigations have shown the novel SARS-CoV-2 evolved with several mutations and developed the capacity to cross the species,i.e.,animal to human.The initial findings have shown that spike proteins are vital molecules target hACE2 receptor for its attachment and entry into cells.After successful entry virus primarily focuses on respiratory airway cell lines and triggers a massive immune response leading to mucus generation.In severe conditions,the virus is capable of forcing viral pneumonia leading to the collapse of the respiratory system,i.e.,COVID19.So far,there is a lack of immunity against the virus in humans.At the same in the absence of therapeutic interventions,many countries experienced high mortality,such as the United States,European countries,i.e.,Italy,Spain,France,and the United Kingdom.The vaccine development is underway and experiencing challenges,as many reports demonstrated genetic variations in viral genome and proteins as well.The present study provides a complete comprehensive overview of the novel SARS-CoV-2 outbreak,human transmission,and global spread.

CD5 expression promotes IL-10 production through activation of the MAPK/Erk pathway and upregulation of TRPC1 channels in B lymphocytes

CD5 is constitutively expressed on T cells and a subset of mature normal and leukemic B cells in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia(CLL).Important functional properties are associated with CD5 expression in B cells,including signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 activation,IL-10 production and the promotion of B-lymphocyte survival and transformation.However,the pathway(s)by which CD5 influences the biology of B cells and its dependence on B-cell receptor(BCR)co-signaling remain unknown.In this study,we show that CD5 expression activates a number of important signaling pathways,including Erk1/2,leading to IL-10 production through a novel pathway independent of BCR engagement.This pathway is dependent on extracellular calcium(Ca2+)entry facilitated by upregulation of the transient receptor potential channel 1(TRPC1)protein.We also show that Erk1/2 activation in a subgroup of CLL patients is associated with TRPC1 overexpression.In this subgroup of CLL patients,small inhibitory RNA(siRNA)for CD5 reduces TRPC1 expression.Furthermore,siRNAs for CD5 or for TRPC1 inhibit IL-10 production.These findings provide new insights into the role of CD5 in B-cell biology in health and disease and could pave the way for new treatment strategies for patients with B-CLL.

Highlights of the 2nd International Symposium on Tribbles and Diseases: tribbles tremble in therapeutics for immunity, metabolism, fundamental cell biology and cancer

The Tribbles(TRIB) family of pseudokinase proteins has been shown to play key roles in cell cycle, metabolic diseases, chronic inflammatory disease, and cancer development. A better understanding of the mechanisms of TRIB pseudokinases could provide new insights for disease development and help promote TRIB proteins as novel therapeutic targets for drug discovery. At the 2 nd International Symposium on Tribbles and Diseases held on May 7–9, 2018 in Beijing, China, a group of leading Tribbles scientists reported their findings and ongoing studies about the effects of the different TRIB proteins in the areas of immunity, metabolism, fundamental cell biology and cancer. Here, we summarize important and insightful overviews from 4 keynote lectures, 13 plenary lectures and 8 short talks that took place during this meeting. These findings may offer new insights for the understanding of the roles of TRIB pseudokinases in the development of various diseases.

Sharing clinical and forensic toxicology knowledge in the era of a pandemic and beyond

Science matters,especially in times of crisis.As history clearly shows,we often rely on science to help solve some of the most pressing technical challenges and identify solutions that address major public health crisis including the Spanish flu,polio,and HIV/AIDS.In the ongoing struggle to safeguard humankind throughout time,science has been a reliable constant.This year,as the world faced yet another challenge,scientists mobilized in unprecedented ways through global collaborations and innovative technologies,to bring to every village,tribe,town,and city of the world the best chance of beating COVID-19.On December 14,2020 as the first batch of a federally approved coronavirus vaccines in the USA were administered to health care workers across that country,science emerged victorious once again.
