Therapeutic HIV vaccine was considered as a hopeful curative method for AIDS patients. However, there is still no suitable HIV animal model for vaccine study since the difference in the immune system between human and animals. To evaluate the therapeutic effect of combined immunization strategy with multiple vector vaccines in macaque models. Plasmid DNA, recombinant Ad5 and MVA vaccines which expressing SIV gag and env genes were constructed. Sequential and repeated immune strategy were applied to immunize mice with these three vaccines. Cellular immune responses in mice immunized with these three vaccines were measured by ELISPOT test in vitro and CTL assay in vivo. The results were analyzed and compared with different antigen combination, order of vaccines and intervals to choose a suitable immunization strategy for macaque immunization in future. It indicated that strong SIV-Gag/Env-specific cellular immune responses were induced by these three vector vaccines. It laid a foundation for evaluating the therapeutic effect of combined immunization strategy with multiple vector vaccines in SIV infected macaque models.

Objective To explore the most suitable equation in accessing renal function for the elderly type 2 diabetic patients, and its clinical utility in combination with hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP). Methods The new Cystatin C-based equations for estimated glomerular filtration rate (Cys-eGFR) and conventional predictive equations were compared with isotopic GFR (iGFR) by linear regression analysis, paired t-test, Bland and Altman procedures and non-parametric receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The new Cys-eGFR equation and hsCRP were also incorporated for detecting renal disease in this population. Results The new Cys-eGFR equation had a better relativity with iGFR (r= 0.767, P＜0.001), a less bias (bias: 0.0007, P＞0.05), a higher conformance (2SD: 21.56), higher sensitivity (90.7%) and specificity (88.6%) for diagnosing moderate decrease in renal function. There was a negative relationship between the new Cys-eGFR and hsCRP (r=-0.655, P＜0.01). When the new Cys-eGFR was 67.06 ml· min-1 ·1.73 m-2 and hsCRP was 5.65 mg/L, the combination of Cys-eGFR and hsCRP was better than the combination of serum creatinine and urine albumin/creatinine ratio in screening stage 3 chronic kidney disease (95%vs.46%). Conclusions The combination of new Cys-eGFR equation and hsCRP may screen an early decrease of moderate GFR.

Objective:To analyze the clinical features, imaging characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of elderly patients with pulmonary cryptococcosis, and to propose considerations for the early diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary cryptococcosis.Methods:Clinical data of 42 elderly patients with pulmonary cryptococcosis diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2015 to September 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.Differences in clinical data were compared between immunocompromised patients and immunocompetent patients by using the SPSS software.Results:The mean age of patients of with pulmonary cryptococcosis was(66.0±5.3)years.Of the cases, 27 were immunocompromised, with common underlying diseases such as autoimmune rheumatic disorders, tumors and chronic kidney disease.Main clinical manifestations were cough, sputum expectoration, fever and chest tightness.Twenty-two cases showed nodules on chest CT scans, most of which contained multiple nodules.Twenty-four cases showed unilateral lesions, mainly in the lower lobe.There was no significant difference in clinical manifestations, lesion types or location distribution between the immunocompromised and immunocompetent groups( P>0.05), while the incidence of air bronchograms was higher in the immunocompetent group than in the immunocompromised group( P<0.05). Seventeen cases were diagnosed by histopathology, and the clinical diagnosis of 25 cases was confirmed by the positive detection of capsular polysaccharide antigens.Nine cases were treated surgically, 1 case underwent clinical observation postoperatively, and 8 cases were treated with fluconazole after surgery.Thirty-three cases were treated with antifungal therapy, 6 of whom were treated with a combination of drugs.Eight cases were lost to follow-up, 29 were cured or improved, 2 progressed, and 3 died. Conclusions:Pulmonary cryptococcosis in the elderly is more common in immunocompromised patients, with atypical clinical symptoms and a high rate of misdiagnosis.Cryptococcal capsular polysaccharide antigen testing is helpful for early diagnosis, and treatment plans need to be chosen and adjusted according to the patient's immune status and specific conditions.
