Abstract Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has accumulated thousands years of knowledge in herbal therapy, but the use formulas is still characterized by reliance on personal experience. Due to complex mechanism actions, it challenging discover effective for diseases integrating traditional experiences and modern pharmacological mechanisms multi-target interactions. In this study, we propose a formula prediction approach (TCMFP) combined therapy experience TCM, artificial intelligence network science algorithms screen optimal efficiently, which integrates herb score (Hscore) based importance targets, pair (Pscore) empirical learning predictive (FmapScore) intelligent optimization genetic algorithm. The validity Hscore, Pscore FmapScore was verified functional similarity topological evaluation. Moreover, TCMFP used successfully generate formulae three diseases, i.e. Alzheimer’s disease, asthma atherosclerosis. Functional enrichment analysis indicates efficacy targets predicted formula. proposed may provides new strategy formula, TCM herbs drug development.

There are very limited data on the interference of immunomodulating drugs risk infection course disease. In particular, there no current clinical about exerted dupilumab, biologic blocking IL-4 IL-13, used for adult atopic dermatitis. The pathogenesis COVID-19 complex, characterized an immune response mainly Th1/Th17. hyper-activation these cells may cause release pro-inflammatory cytokines that result in lung impairment. IL-13 Th2 cytokines, thus being part pathway not considered implicated host defense mechanism against viral infections. Indeed, infections, including have been reported as significant adverse event trials. Furthermore, dupilumab has proved to be efficacious also exacerbations asthma, it known infections can worsen asthma. Therefore, seem suggest treatment should stopped during pandemic.

Asthma is a highly prevalent, chronic respiratory disease that impacts millions of people worldwide and causes thousands deaths every year. Asthmatics display different phenotypes with distinct genetic components, environmental causes, immunopathologic signatures, are broadly characterized into type 2-high or 2-low (non-type 2) endotypes by linking clinical characteristics, steroid responsiveness, molecular pathways. Regardless asthma severity adequate management, patients may experience acute exacerbations symptoms loss control, often triggered infections. The interferon (IFN) family represents group cytokines play central role in the protection against exacerbation various infections pathologies, including asthma. Type I III IFNs particular an indispensable host immune system to fight off pathogens, which seems be altered both pediatric adult asthmatics. Impaired IFN production leaves asthmatics susceptible infection uncontrolled 2 immunity, promotes airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) inflammation can lead exacerbations. However, deficiency not observed all asthmatics, alterations expression independent immunity. In this review, we discuss link between general specific contexts, during viral infection, co-infection, bacterial/fungal infection.

Non-persistent viruses classically cause transient, acute infections triggering immune responses aimed at the elimination of pathogen. Successful evolved strategies to manipulate and evade these anti-viral defenses. Symptoms during phase are often linked dysregulated that disappear once patient recovers. In some patients, however, symptoms persist or new emerge beyond phase. Conditions resulting from previous transient infection termed post-acute sequelae (PAS) were reported for a wide range non-persistent such as rota-, influenza- polioviruses. Here we provide an overview viral pathogens be associated with diverse PAS, among them chronic fatigue, auto-immune disorders, neurological complications highlight known mechanistic details. Recently, emergence COVID-19 (PASC) long COVID highlighted impact PAS. Notably, PAS resemble persistent infections, defined by inflammation. Inflammation maintained after may key driver viruses.

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), the new revolutionary class of medications, are fast becoming tools against various diseases thanks to a unique structure and function that allow them bind highly specific targets or receptors. These specialized proteins can be produced in large quantities via hybridoma technique introduced 1975 by means modern technologies. Additional methods have been developed generate mAbs with biological properties such as humanized, chimeric, murine. The inclusion therapeutic regimens is major medical advance will hopefully lead significant improvements infectious disease management. Since first mAb, muromonab-CD3, was approved U.S. Food Drug Administration (FDA) 1986, list their clinical indications applications proliferating. New technologies modify mAbs, thereby increasing efficacy improving delivery routes. Gene technologies, non-viral synthetic plasmid DNA messenger RNA vectors (DMabs mRNA-encoded mAbs), built express tailored mAb genes, might help overcome some challenges therapy, including production restrictions, cold-chain storage, transportation requirements, expensive manufacturing distribution processes. This paper reviews recent developments discovery viral infections illustrates how combat outbreaks.
