Aim: This phase III study assessed the efficacy/safety/antiviral activity/pharmacokinetics of bemnifosbuvir, a novel, oral nucleotide analog to treat COVID-19. Patients & methods: Outpatient adults/adolescents with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 were randomized 2:1 to bemnifosbuvir/placebo. Time to symptom alleviation/improvement (primary outcome), risk of hospitalization/death, viral load and safety were evaluated. Results: Although the study was discontinued prematurely and did not meet its primary end point, bemnifosbuvir treatment resulted in fewer hospitalizations (71% relative risk reduction), COVID-19-related medically attended hospital visits, and COVID-19-related complications compared with placebo. No reduction in viral load was observed. The proportion of patients with adverse events was similar; no deaths occurred. Conclusion: Bemnifosbuvir showed hospitalization reduction in patients with variable disease progression risk and was well tolerated. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT04889040 (ClinicalTrials.gov).

Aim: This study aims to perform an external validation of a recently developed prognostic model for early prediction of the risk of progression to severe COVID-19. Patients & methods/materials: Patients were recruited at their initial diagnosis at two facilities within Hamad Medical Corporation in Qatar. 356 adults were included for analysis. Predictors for progression of COVID-19 were all measured at disease onset and first contact with the health system. Results: The C statistic was 83% (95% CI: 78%-87%) and the calibration plot showed that the model was well-calibrated. Conclusion: The published prognostic model for the progression of COVID-19 infection showed satisfactory discrimination and calibration and the model is easy to apply in clinical practice.d.

Aim: We aimed to investigate the presence of human papillomavirus type 197 (HPV197) in patients with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Materials & methods: 58 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples, including 12 SCC and 46 BCC and the adjacent non-tumoral skin of the same patient were analyzed for the presence of HPV197E6 gene, using a quantitative real-time PCR assay. Results: The HPV197E6 gene was identified in 12 tumor samples (7 BCC and 5 SCC), but not in the control group. Conclusion: Based on these results, a high copy number of HPV197E6 gene provides additional support for the role of HPV197 in skin cancer.

Aim: The present study aimed to investigate the frequency of Seoul hantavirus (SEOV), Hepatitis E and rabies viruses in Norway rats in Tehran, Iran. Methods: With the aid of a rat ELISA kit, the we identified specific IgG antibodies against the Rabies virus. The presence of SEOV and HEV was determined using an SYBR Green-based real-time PCR assay. Results: 1% of the R. norvegicus carried the rabies virus. HEV was associated with R. norvegicus obtained from the south of Tehran with the highest frequency (35%). 12% of tests for SEOV were positive. Conclusion: The findings highlight the importance of putting in place rodent control programs and avoiding interaction with rodent populations in urban settings.

Aim: To investigate the mechanism of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection we developed an in vitro model. Methods: Huh7 cells were transfected with HCV (JFH1 or Jc1) or sub-genomic replicons and expression of pro-fibrotic cytokines determined by qPCR. Media from infected cells was transferred onto LX2 cells or primary rat stellate cells and expression of pro-fibrotic genes measured by qPCR. Results: Replication competent HCV, but not sub-genomic replicons, induced expression of TGF-β1 and CTGF. Supernatant from infected cells induced α-SMA and COL1A1 expression and stellate cell migration, confirming functional activation. Conclusion: Infected cells produce pro-fibrogenic cytokines TGF-β1 and CTGF and activate stellate cells. This mechanism could be targeted to prevent or treat HCV-induced fibrosis.

Aim: This study aimed to alleviate dengue virus (DENV)-mediated fibrosis in a chick embryo model using ultradiluted Eupatorium perfoliatum (UEP). Materials & methods: Chorioallantoic membrane and liver of infected embryonated chicken eggs were checked for DENV pathogenesis. Cytotoxicity of UEP was assessed by MTT and scratch assay. Cytopathic assay after DENV infection was performed in vitro to check the effect of UEP and its constituents. Histopathology analysis revealed DENV-mediated fibrosis and the effect of UEP. qRT-PCR and gelatin zymography showed levels of fibrosis-causing genes. Results: UEP showed low cytotoxicity and maximum potential in mitigating DENV-mediated fibrosis in vivo via regulation of fibrosis biomarkers TGF-β, MMP-1, MMP-9, TIMP-1 and IFNs. Conclusion: UEP may be considered to alleviate DENV-mediated pathogenesis.

Aim: Identifying genes and pathways involved in various stages of rotavirus infection could facilitate the mapping of the interactions between the virus and host. Materials & methods: Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was employed to construct a co-expression network of genes identified by microarray analysis from samples from children with acute rotavirus infection. Results: Two specific modules were most related to rotavirus infection. The analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) disclosed 393 DEGs between normal and infected individuals. Eighteen novel genes were shared between the modules. Conclusion: The WGCNA revealed novel modules, co-expressed genes and pathways involved in immune responses, cell death/degradation and the nervous system in acute rotavirus infection.

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is the most pervasive type of RNA epigenetic modification in eukaryotes and the most common type of posttranscriptional modification of mRNA. m6A modification is a dynamic reversible process that can affect gene expression and play a crucial role in mRNA metabolism and multiple biological processes, ranging from RNA processing, nuclear export and RNA translation to decay. Meanwhile, much evidence has shown that m6A methylation regulates the life cycle of viruses and inhibits or promotes the development of various viruses. However, the mechanism of m6A methylation in virus-associated tumors has not been fully elucidated. This review highlights the role of m6A modification in various viruses to help establish new approaches for treating related diseases.

Aim: This study aimed to establish a simple whole-genome sequencing method for respiratory virus type A (RSVA) used in genomic epidemiological studies. Methods: Multiple primers were designed to amplify overlapping amplicons specific to RSVA. The amplicons were sequenced using Illumina and Nanopore sequencing platforms and the sequencing performances of the two platforms were also compared. Results: The study shows that the developed method could recover almost full genomes of RSVA when Ct values were less than 33 for clinical samples. Conclusion: In this study, a whole-genome sequencing method was developed for RSVA based on multiplex PCR.
