Objective To summarize the research status of echinococcosis- specific vaccine antigens, analyze their sources and application prospects, and to provide new ideas for the development of echinococcosis vaccine antigens and drug treatment. Method Research on echinococcosis-specific vaccine antigens at home and abroad was searched and reviewed. Results Natural hydatid antigens, such as cystic fluid crude antigen, protoscolex segment, germinal layer, etc. often appear due to the difficulty of material acquisition and cumbersome preparation, resulting in unstable evaluation indicators such as sensitivity and specificity. The gene or protein sequences of a new recombinant hydatid antigen was accessible, the reproducibility and specificity were better, and it was more suitable for batch production testing, which was the main direction of current research, such as rAgB8/1, rEm18, rEm2, etc. Conclusions Vaccine development is one of the main directions for the elimination of hydatidosis. In the interaction between echinococcus and human or animal hosts, the natural structural proteins or excretion/secretion proteins of echinococcus stimulate the host to produce anti-parasites immunity and immune clearance, and the search for these specific protein antigens is of great significance for vaccine development, and new drug treatment.
Objective To analyze the clinical information of COVID-19 patients of Shanghai National Exhibition and Convention Center cabin hospital, and to explore the medical management strategy to provide thoughtful suggestions for other cabin hospitals and governments as valuable references. Methods The clinical data of 174 308 patients confirmed COVID-19 in Shanghai National Exhibition and Convention Center cabin hospital from April 9 to May 31, 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 103 539 male and 70 769 female patients, with an average age of 41.50±15.30 years. Medical and nursing management strategy was summarized. Results Among the 174 308 patients, 71.5% (124 630 patients) were asymptomatic. The vaccination rate of patients with COVID-19 in the cabin hospital was 76.5% (133 338 patients), and the majority of none vaccinated patients were children under the age of 10 years and the elderly over the age of 60 years, the vaccination rate of whom was only 25.0% (1 322 patients) and 63.9% (13 715 patients), respectively. In addition, the proportion of mild symptom type in the patients not vaccinated was significantly higher than that in the vaccinated patients (P≤0.01). The average hospitalization time of patients in cabin hospital was 7.39±0.53 days, which was 7.01±2.12 days for patients under 60 years and 8.21±0.82 days for patients over 60 years. The hospitalization time of elderly patients was significantly longer (P≤0.01), and the hospitalization time of elderly patients at age over 60 years without vaccination was 8.94±1.71 days, which was significantly longer than the average hospitalization time and the time of elderly patients vaccinated (P≤0.01). The number of patients combined with basic diseases was 27 864 (16.0%), of which cardiovascular diseases accounted for 81.3% (22 653 patients). A total of 2 085 patients were transferred and treated in designated hospitals. Conclusion Large scale cabin hospitals are helpful to cut off the source of infection. Attention shall be paid to the sorting of admission and timely transfer to other hospital during the patients management. Most of the patients have a good prognosis after treatment. The vaccination of key population and community-based screening will be the next step of focus.
Objective To evaluate on immunogenicity and safety of measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine. Methods The PubMed, BIOSIS Previews, CDSR, The Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI and VIP were searched between Jan. 1990 and April 2010. Studies were included in the review if they were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about measles (M) – mumps (M) – rubella (R) and varicella (V) vaccine. Trial screening, data exaction and quality assessment of the included trials were conducted by the method recommended by Cochrane Collaboration. Statistical analyses were conducted by using RevMan 4.2.10 software. Results Five RCTs were included. Among those there were 2 trials of B degree and 3 trials of C degree. Meta-analyses showed that to different inoculation methods, (MMRV or MMR+V) the rate of pain was not significantly different with RR 0.94 and 95%CI 0.83 to 1.05 (P=0.28). The rate of redness was not significantly different with RR 1.08 and 95%CI 0.90 to 1.29 (P=0.40). The rate of hardening was not significantly different with RR 1.16 and 95%CI 0.95 to 1.43 (P=0.14). The rate of fever was significantly different with RR 1.20 and 95%CI 1.12 to 1.29 (Plt;0.000 01). The rate of skin rash was not significantly different with RR 1.18 and 95%CI 1.00 to 1.41 (P=0.05). The serum measles antibody positive rate was not significantly different with RR 1.00 and 95%CI 0.99 to 1.01 (P=0.68). The serum mumps antibody positive rate was not significantly different with RR 0.99 and 95%CI 0.50 to 1.01 (P=0.11). The serum rubella antibody positive rate was not significantly different with RR 1.00 and 95%CI 0.99 to 1.01 (P=0.68). The se-rum varicella antibody positive rate was not significantly different with RR 1.00 and 95%CI 0.99 to 1.01 (P=0.58). Conclusion Compared with MMR+V vaccine, the MMRV vaccine has the same immune effect. In respect of immune safety, in addition to higher rate of fever after vaccination, other local or systemic reaction is good. For the role of reducing vaccination times and good performance on immune effect and safety, the MMRV vaccine can be regarded as candidate vaccine for children. The fever caused by the new component should be strengthened in the following study. Limited to the quality and account for the current original documents, citing evidence of this systematic review would be cautious. Future studies would expand the sample size, fulfill the test design, increase indicators to improve the quality of research and demonstration intensity.
Objective To investigate the effects of recombinant adenovirus-mediated co-transfection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) gene and erythropoietin (EPO) gene on promoting hematopoietic stem cells directly producing erythrocyte vaccine against colon cancer. Methods The expression adenovirus vectors carrying CEA and EPO or green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene were constructed respectively, and recombinant adenovirus carrying CEA, EPO or GFP were packaged and produced respectively. The bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) of mice were isolated and cultured in vitro by anti-CD117 magnetic bead separation, and were transfected with CEA (CEA group), EPO (EPO group) or GFP (blank vector group), co-transfected with CEA and EPO (CEA-EPO group). The expressionsof CEA and EPO gene and its protein after transfection in supernatant fluid of culture were detected by realtime-PCR and Western blot method in each group. We had checked and obtained the vaccine with co-transfection of CEA gene and EPO gene by cell red line marker antibody CD71 and GPA, then we carried on experiments with the vaccine in vitro and in vivo. There were 4 groups in our trail: blank vector group, CEA group, EPO group, and CEA-EPO group. Results We had successfully gathered the hematopoietic stem cells, flow cytometry analysis result showed that there were significant differences before and after purification for positive selected samples (P<0.05). The expressions of double genes (CEA-EPO gene) and protein showed CEA-EPO gene were successfully transfected into the hematopoietic stem cells. We had confirmed erythrocyte vaccine with co-transfection of CEA and EPO gene by antibody CD71 and GPA with flow cytometry. The monocytes cytotoxicity on colon cancer cell line CT26 showed that lysis of target cells of CEA-EPO group were higher than those of other 3 groups when in proportion of 40∶1 (P<0.05). In the experimentation of neoplasma format, the volume of tumor and mortality were smaller or lower, but survival time was longer of CEA-EPO group in2 weeks after treatment (P<0.05). Conclusions The erythrocyte vaccine with co-transfection of CEA gene and EPO gene has efficient anti-tumor effects on colon cancer. Not only can promote hematopoietic stem cell directly producing erythrocyte vaccine, but also can produce tumor antigen vaccine against colon cancer.
Objective To investigate safety of influenza A H1N1 vaccine vaccinations. Methods A total of 3 300 medical workers were vaccinated by batch of 200909012 influenza A H1N1 vaccine produced by Shanghai Biological Products Corporation Limited according to the principle of voluntary and concentration. The adverse reactions were observed within half an hour, three days and a week after vaccinations, respectively. Results The inoculators with local or systemic reaction reached 1.18% (39/3 300). There were 0.15% (5/3 300) of the inoculators with adverse reaction within half an hour; 0.70% (23/3 300) within 1 to 3 days after vaccination; and 0.33% (11/3 300) within 3 days to 1 week after vaccination. No severe adverse events were found. Conclusion Influenza A H1N1 vaccine vaccinations is an economic and effective way of influenza A H1N1 prevention with mild reactions.

ObjectiveTo recognize the latest research progress of immunotherapy for advanced gastric cancer (AGC). MethodThe domestic and international literature on immunotherapy for AGC in recent years were retrieved and reviewed. ResultsThe immunotherapy for AGC mainly focused on immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), cellular immunity, and antitumor vaccines. The most immunotherapy researched was ICIs, especially for programmed death protein-1 / programmed death protein ligand 1, cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen 4, and lymphocyte activating gene 3. The cellular immunotherapy and tumor vaccine therapy were less relatively. Although immunotherapy alone did not have a particularly good effect, its therapeutic effect was not inferior to that of chemotherapy alone and the incidence of adverse reactions was lower. Moreover, most studies had concluded that the use of immunotherapy in combination with other therapy had shown a good clinical efficacy, especially in combination with anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 antibody, and chimeric antigen receptor T cells targeting Claudin 18.2 site had promising results in the AGC. ConclusionsWith the development of immunotherapy research, the strategies of immunotherapy for AGC are also constantly improving. Precision medicine is important in the process of immunotherapy. Targeted screening suitable patients and adopting precise treatment can further benefit the survival of patients with AGC.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the safety and immunogenicity of quadrivalent HPV vaccine among healthy population. MethodsDatabases including PubMed, EMbase, CBM, The Cochrane Library (Issue 9, 2013), CNKI, Web of Science and WanFang Data were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about safety and immunogenicity of quadrivalent HPV vaccine from inception to October 2013. Meanwhile handwork retrieval was also conducted and references of included literature were retrieved. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data, and assessed methodological quality of included studies. Meta-analysis was then conducted using RevMan 5.2 software. ResultsA total of 9 studies were finally included consisting of 8 RCTs and involving 39 688 patients. The result of meta-analysis showed that:a) for safety, the incidence of injection adverse reaction (swelling and red spots) in vaccine group was higher than that in placebo group (RR=1.22, 95%CI 1.13 to 1.32, P<0.000 01); while the incidences of systemic adverse reaction (RR=1.03, 95%CI 0.99 to 1.07, P=0.1) and serious adverse reaction (RR=1.06, 95%CI 0.75 to 1.50, P=0.74) were alike between the two groups; and b) for immunogenicity, the serum antibody seroconversion rates in the vaccine group (including subtypes of HPV6, HPV11 HPV16 and HPV18) were all higher than those in the placebo group, with significant differences. ConclusionCompared with placebo, quadrivalent HPV vaccine has relatively high incidences of adverse reaction and high-degree immunogenicity, which can be widely used in the prevention of relevant diseases of human papillomavirus infection among adolescents. The main adverse reaction is local dysfunction, which is well tolerated, so the vaccine can be safely used. Due to limited quantity and quality of the included studies, the above conclusion should be verified by further conducting more large-scale, multicentre, high quality RCTs.
ObjectiveTo investigate the situation of internal antibody positive rate of Chinese who exposed to rabies virus and received full procedure of rabies vaccination, and to provide the basis for the adjustment of rabies vaccination procedure and policy. MethodsWe electronically searched databases including WanFang Data, VIP, CNKI, PubMed and EMbase from inception to May 2015 to collect studies about Chinese exposed to rabies virus and received full procedure rabies vaccination. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed the methodological quality of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed using R software (R3.2.1). ResultsA total of 33 studies were included. The combined antibody positive rate was 93.99% with 95%CI 92.02% to 95.70%. Antibody positive rate among male was 93.73% with 95%CI 91.65% to 95.54%, while among female was 94.33% with 95%CI 92.35% to 96.04%, and there was no significant difference between male and female (P>0.05). The antibody positive rate of hamster kidney cell rabies vaccine was 89.94% with 95%CI 86.09% to 95%, while the antibody positive rate of vero cell rabies vaccine was 96.65% with 95%CI 94.99% to 94.99%, and there was significant difference between both groups (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in antibody positive rates among different years of rabies vaccine (P>0.05). However, the antibody positive rate of rabies vaccine had a tendency to reduce with the increasing age ConclusionAntibody positive rate of vero cell rabies vaccine is higher than that of hamster kidney cell rabies vaccine. Older people have lower antibody positive rate after receiving rabies vaccination. We suggest using vero cell rabies vaccine when giving rabies vaccination; elderly people should receive booster vaccination after basic vaccination.
