Heat shock protein gp96 is a highly conserved and monomorphic glycoprotein in the endoplasmic reticulum. It functions as molecular chaperone and can associate with a variety of antigenic peptides noncovalently in vivo and in vitro. Recent studies have indicated that gp96 molecules participate in major histocompatibility complex class I-restricted antigen presentation pathway. Immunization of mice with gp96 preparations isolated from cancer cells can elicit a cancer-specific protective T cell immune response that is recallable, which is a prerequisite for gp96 as a therapeutic vaccine against cancers. The immunogenicity of gp96 molecules has been attributed to the antigenic peptides associated with them. These phenomena provide a new pathway for cancer immunotherapy. The mechanism that the gp96-peptide complex induces specific immune response and the explorations for gp96-peptide complex as a therapeutic cancer vaccine are reviewed.

Objective To study the corelation between the expression of COX-2 and postoperative adhesions and to determine the effect of COX-2 selective inhibitor,Celecoxib,on postoperative adhesion formation. Methods Fifty SD rats were randomly assigned to five groups each consisting of 10 rats,Study groups were as follows:(A)positive control group,(B)sodiumhyahronate group,(C)low dose Celecoxib group,(D)high dose Celecexib group,(E)negative control group,Five rats in each group were treated accordingly for consecutive 8 days and 15 days respectively and sacrificed,After treatment,intra-abdminal adhesions were scored using a standard method.The adhesions tissure and injured peritonaeum were subjected to Westem-blotting to detect the expression of COX-2. Results The level of postoperative adhesions and expression of COX-2 of sodiumhyahronate group、low dose Celecoxib group、high dose Celecoxib group were lower than that of positive control group(P<0.05),Sediumhyahronate treatment group was different formthe two Celecoxib treated groups(P<0.05).Conclusions Selective COX-2COX-2.mechanism,provides durable inhibition of intra-abdominal adhesions through an antiangiongenic COX-2 mechanism.

Objective: To understand the current situation of health rooms in primary and secondary schools in Jilin Province, so as to provide the data support for scientific decision making. Methods: From April to July 2023, 512 primary and secondary schools and 1 432 school doctors and health care teachers were selected through convenience sampling method in Jilin Province to conduct an electronic questionnaire survey, including the basic information of the school, the situation of health rooms, personnel setting, and the development of school health work. Results: Among the 512 schools, only 6.4% of the 299 schools that should have clinics had medical institution practice licenses. The compliance rate of clinic area was 16.6%, and the compliance rate of health room area was 75.0%. About 92.1% of the middle schools and 90.6% of the primary schools identified the reporters of infectious diseases, and 90.9% of the primary schools and 85.5% of the secondary schools filed files for students. Totally 73.5% of the staff in the health room were teachers, and only 17.9% were health professionals. Nearly 70.1% of school doctors or health care teachers were engaged in part time jobs, and 60.9% engaged in school health for ≤5 years. In terms of the content in urgent need of training and improvement, the top five were knowledge about first aid (79.7%)，infectious disease prevention and treatment( 73.3 %), health education (64.0%), common disease diagnosis (60.1%) and psychological counseling (53.6%). Conclusions Health care institutions, equipment and facilities in primary and secondary schools in Jilin Province are inadequate, and the construction of school doctors and health care teachers is in need of improvement. It should pay more attention to school health and work together to optimize the team of school doctors and health care teachers.

To investigate Streptococcus suis ( S.suis) isolated from patients in Shandong province using genomic epidemiology and pathogenologic analysis. To provide the foundation to establish reasonable and accurate prevention and control measures of human S. suis infection. Molecular typing, whole genome phylogenetic tree, virulence gene typing, antibiotic resistance profile and mobile genetic elements carrying antibiotic resistance genes of isolated S. suis strains were investigated. The pathogenicity of isolated strains was also evaluated by comparing their capacity to induce pro-inflammatory cytokine production in vitro. S. suis infections in Shandong province were predominantly due to serotype 2 and sequence type 1 strains. The major symptoms were meningitis. The studied strains could be divided into five lineages. All strains belong to highly pathogenic type in Shandong province,Strains from lineage 2 possessed higher capacity to stimulate pro-inflammatory cytokine production than other strains did, even though other strains belong to highly pathogenic strains. In addition, multiple antibiotic resistance genes and corresponding mobile genetic elements werewidespread in S. suis strains from Shandong province, except strains from lineage 3. High diversities in genome, evolutionary path and pathogenicity of S. suis strains from Shandong province were revealed. It was necessary to surveillant the S. suis strain in genomic level.
