ABSTRACT
@#Objective To explore the physical and chemical properties of electric charge modified liposomes and the immune enhancement effect as influenza vaccine adjuvants.Methods Four kinds of electric charge-modified liposomes were prepared with soybean lecithin,cholesterol,N-1-(2,3-dioleyloxy) propyl-N,N,N-trimethyllam-moniumchloride(DOTAP)and 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine(DOPC)(DOTAP and DOPC mass ratio 1:4,2:3,3:2 and 4:1).The tetravalent influenza vaccine was mixed with the four liposomes according to the volume fraction of 1.4:1.0,which was prepared into cationic modified influenza vaccine liposome freeze-dried powder by freeze-thaw freeze-drying method.The liposome freeze-dried powder was redissolved with PBS,the particle size and Zeta potential were measured by laserparticle size analyzer,and the encapsulation efficiency of liposome was measured by Lowry method.231 female KM mice were randomly divided into negative control group(PBS),positive control group(tetravalent vaccine bulk),cationic liposome group(four electric charge modified influenza vaccine liposomes) and neutral liposome group(non-electric charge modified influenza vaccine liposomes),which were injected intraperitoneally at 7,14 and 28 d,0.2 mL per mouse.The cellular immune effect was evaluated by MTT assay and T lymphatic surface labeling,and the humoral immune effect was evaluated by hemagglutinin inhibition(HI) at 3,7,14,28,42 and 56 d of immunization.Results When the mass ratio of DOTAP to DOPC was 4:1,the particle size and Zeta potential of cationic modified liposomes reached the maximum,which were 529.65 nm and 12.05 mV respectively,and the encapsulation efficiency was also high,which was 81.82%.Stimulus index(SI) and CD4~+/CD8~+value of spleen cells of mice in the four cationic liposome groups were significantly higher than those in the negative control group(F=4.651~25.866,each P<0.05),among which,the two indexes in 4:1 cationic liposome group were higher than those in the other three groups;mice in this group produced early humoral immune effect 3 d after immunization,and the antibody titer reached the highest 42 d after immunization and maintained a high level during the whole immunization cycle.Conclusion Cationic liposomes with different electric charge modifications improved the immune effect of influenza vaccine,the immune enhancement effect was the best and the immune effect lasted the longest when the mass ratio of DOTAP to DOPC was 4:1.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the effect of the new vaginal douche device on vaginal irrigation before ovulation extraction in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer.@*Methods@#From August 2017 to April 2018, 100 cases of infertility patients admitted to the first hospital of reproductive and gynecology of Jilin University who had to undergo ovulectomy were selected and divided into 50 cases in the experimental group and 50 cases in the control group according to the random number table. In the test group, a new type of vaginal irrigator was used for vaginal irrigation one day before the operation, while in the control group, a disposable enema was used for vaginal irrigation. The vaginal cleanliness and comfort of the two groups were compared after washing.@*Results@#Vaginal cleanliness was compared between the two groups. Bacterial culture of vaginal secretions was positive in 2 patients in the experimental group, with a positive rate of 4%. In the control group, bacterial culture of vaginal secretions was positive in 14 patients, with a positive rate of 28%. Vaginal cleanliness was better in the experimental group than in the control group (χ2=10.714, P=0.001). In the experimental group, there were 2 cases of discomfort, 10 cases of discomfort, 29 cases of comfort, and 9 cases of comfort. In the control group, there were 8 cases of discomfort and 17 cases of discomfort. The comfort level of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (Z=-2.271, P=0.023).@*Conclusions@#The operation method of the new vaginal douche is simple and soft, which can not only effectively and thoroughly clean the vagina, reduce the incidence of infection, but also increase the comfort level of patients, alleviate psychological fear and improve patient satisfaction.

ABSTRACT
Correlation between the intrahepatic inflammatory pathogenesis and the TCM theory of liver collateral injury by toxins in patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with insulin resistance (IR) was investigated, to elucidate that removing toxins, dredging collateral and modulating Gan could be one of the effective approaches for inhibiting intrahepatic inflammation mechanism of T2DM with IR.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the therapeutic effect of xiaoke shen' an capsule on diabetic nephropathy.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Ninety patients with diabetic nephropathy were randomly divided into two groups, the patients in the control group (CG) were treated with conventional western medicine, and those in the treated group (TG) were treated with combined therapy of xiaoke shen'an capsule and conventional western medicine. The treatment course of both groups was 8 weeks, and the therapeutic effect related indexes were measured before and after treatment.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The curative rate was 85.0% and 73.3% in CG and TG respectively, it was better in TG than that in CG (P < 0.05). Indexes such as fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, blood pressure, quantity of 24h urinary protein, urinary albumin excretion rate, renal function, blood lipids and hemoreheologic parameters were significantly different before and after treatment in TG (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). As compared with CG, some of these indexes after treatment were superior to those in CG (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Combined therapy of xiaoke shen'an capsule and conventional western medicine has definite therapeutic effect on diabetic nephropathy.</p>
