ABSTRACT
Designing and manufacturing safe and effective vaccines is a crucial challenge for human health worldwide. Research on adjuvant-based subunit vaccines is increasingly being explored to meet clinical needs. Nevertheless, the adaptive immune responses of subunit vaccines are still unfavorable, which may partially be attributed to the immune cascade obstacles and unsatisfactory vaccine design. An extended understanding of the crosstalk between vaccine delivery strategies and immunological mechanisms could provide scientific insight to optimize antigen delivery and improve vaccination efficacy. In this review, we summarized the advanced subunit vaccine delivery technologies from the perspective of vaccine cascade obstacles after administration. The engineered subunit vaccines with lymph node and specific cell targeting ability, antigen cross-presentation, T cell activation properties, and tailorable antigen release patterns may achieve effective immune protection with high precision, efficiency, and stability. We hope this review can provide rational design principles and inspire the exploitation of future subunit vaccines.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate therapeutic efficacy of reteplase versus alteplase in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction in China, and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment. METHODS: Retrieved from Cochrane library, PubMed, Embase, Medline, CJFD, CSJD, Wanfang database by computor, etc., also by manual search, RCTs about therapeutic efficacy (recanalization rate of thrombolysis) of reteplase (trial group) versus alteplase (control group) in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction in China were collected from Jan. 1995 to Sept. 2018. After data extraction and quality evaluation with Cochrane system evaluator manual 5.1.0, Meta-analysis was performed for recanalization rate of thrombolysis by using Rev Man 5.3 software. RESULTS: A total of 23 RCTs were included, involving 1 742 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed that recanalization rate of thrombolysis in trial group was significantly higher than control group, with statistical significance [OR=0.61,95%CI(0.50,0.73),P<0.001]. Sub-group Meta-analysis was performed according to the successful time of thrombolysis. Results of Meta-analysis showed that recanalization rate of thrombolysis in trial group 1 h [OR=0.38,95%CI(0.25,0.58),P<0.001], 1.5 h [OR=0.44,95%CI(0.25,0.79),P=0.006] and 2 h [OR=0.62,95%CI(0.42,0.92),P=0.02] after thrombolysis were significantly higher than control group, with statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS: The recanalization rate of thrombolysis by reteplase in Chinese patients with acute myocardial infarction in better than by alteplase.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To study the relationships of polymorphism of MTRR gene rs1801394 locus and SLCO1B1 gene rs11045879 locus with drug concentration of methotrexate (MTX) and high-dose MTX (HD-MTX)-induced ADR in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) children. METHODS: From Oct. 2015 to Sept. 2018, 70 ALL hospitalized children of Han nationality in Sichuan area who received HD-MTX treatment and were in consolidation chemotherapy were selected retrospectively from Sichuan People’s Hospital. The blood concentration of MTX at 48 and 72 hours after administration was measured by EMIT. The genetic typing of MTRR gene rs1801394 locus and SLCO1B1 gene rs11045879 locus were detected with real-time PCR. The relationships of the polymorphism of MTRR gene and SLCO1B1 gene with MTX blood concentration [dose-corrected concentration (c48 h/D,48 h), the proportion of children with different concentration of MTX (≤0.1, >0.1 μmol/L)] and ADR (such as myelosuppression, liver function damage, gastrointestinal response, mucosal damage, rash, etc.) were analyzed. Binary Logistic regression analysis for the correlation of ADR with different influencing factors (gene polymor- phism, blood concentration of MTX, immunophenotyping, body mass index, etc.) was carried out by Wald method. RESULTS: Totally 31, 32, 7 children with MTRR gene AA, AG and GG genotype, while 23, 37, 10 children with SLCO1B1 gene TT, TC and CC genotype were detected. The distribution of each genotype in 70 children conformed to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in c48 h/D(48 h) of children and the proportion of children with different concentration of MTX (72 h) among difterent genotypes of MTRR and SLCO1B1 gene (P>0.05). There was statistical significance in the incidence of liver function injury in children with different genotypes of MTRR gene (P<0.05), and the AA genotype was significantly higher than the AG+GG genotype (P<0.05). There was no correlation of MTRR gene polymorphism with the incidence of other ADR, neither SLCO1B1 gene polymorphism with the incidence of ADR (P>0.05). The results of Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that liver function damage in ALL children was related to the gene polymorphism of MTRR; gastrointestinal reaction was related to whether the plasma concentration was more than 0.1 μmol/L at 72 h; mucosal damage was related to the immune type and BMI of children; the occurrence of skin allergy was correlated with body weight of children(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Gene polymorphism of MTRR rs1801394 locus may associated with the occurrence of HD-HTX-induced liver function injury in ALL children, but its polymorphism and gene polymorphism of SLCO1B1 rs11045879 locus are not related to MTX blood concentration in ALL children.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the characteristics and regularity of ADR cases caused by leflunomide, and to provide reference for rational use of it. METHODS: Literatures about leflunomide-inducing ADR were retrieved from CNKI between 1994 and Apr. 2010. Those literatures were statistically analyzed in respect of patient’s age and gender, route of administration, dosage of drugs, onset time of ADR, organs and systems involved in ADR and its clinical manifestations, treatment and outcomes, etc. RESULTS: 37 pieces of literatures were obtained with standard cases of 45. The incidence of ADR cases in female(75.56%) was higher than in males (24.44%). 28 ADR cases were in 50~60 group. 39 patients were treated with leflunomide 10~30 mg once a day. After treatment, the most common gastrointestinal adverse events occurred in 1~15 d. Leflunomide-inducing ADR was digestive system reaction (75.56%) the most. Patients who took medicine less than 10 days with mild ADR need not to stop taking medicine when clinical symptoms reduced or disappeared after symptomatic treatment. Patients who took medicine more than 10 days with severe ADR need to stop taking medicine and receive symptomatic treatment. CONCLUSION: Clinical physicians should pay attention to rational use of leflunomide and ADR during treatment course to reduce the harm due to adverse events.
