Public participation is an indispensable link in the public health emergency management system, as well as a dynamic factor and a cornerstone. It undertakes the functions of early warning, emergency response and publicness maintenance, so that it values in improving the effectiveness of public health emergency management. The main paths to realize the value of public participation in the public health emergency management system are to be the gatekeepers of public health early warning and surveillance, the participants of the management and support of public health emergency prevention and control. It is a complex system to establish and improve the national public health system. Our society should pay attention to and give full play to the value of public participation.

Objective To investigate IL-17 as adjuvant effect on the humoral and cellular immune responses to HIV DNA vaccine by immunizing mice with HIV DNA vaccine plus IL-17. Methods We immunized the BALB/c mice with pGX-Env alone, or with pcDNA3-IL-17 by intramuscular injection. The immunization was performed on week 0, 2. The concentration of the anti-Env IgG, the stimulated index of T lymphocyte proliferation, and the expression of IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-17 in CD4~+T cell and IFN-γ in CD8~+ T cell, specific in vivo cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activity were detected at week 4. Results We show here that IL-17 as a molecular adjuvant with the HIV DNA vaccine, pGX-Env, can enhance immune responses. Interestingly, IL-17 has no adjuvant effect on the responses for T cell proliferation, antibody production and expressions of IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-17 in CD4~+ T cells, but rather on the up-regulation of IFN-γ in CD8~+ T cells and CTL in vivo significantly(P<0.05). Conclusion The data suggest that IL-17 as the molecular adjuvant may not effect the development and differentiation of CD4~+ Th cells, but directly affect on the CD8~+ T cell functions. The novel functionality of IL-17 on adaptive immunity may lead to develop effecfive HIV DNA vaccination targeted to potentiate the CD8~+ T cell functions.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Cuscutae Semen total flavonoids combined with Tripterygium wilfordii polyglycoside tablets （TWPT） on ovarian germline stem cells of female physiological mice through neurogenic locus notch homolog （Notch） signaling pathway. MethodSixty female Kunming mice （5 weeks old） were randomly divided into normal group， Tripterygium wilfordii polyglycoside tablets low-， high-dose groups （13.65 mg·kg^-1·d^-1 and 27.3 mg·kg^-1·d^-1， 1 and 2 times clinical equivalent dose）， Cuscutae Semen total flavonoids low- and high-dose groups （150 mg·kg^-1·d^-1 and 300 mg·kg^-1·d^-1）， and combination group （13.65 mg·kg^-1·d^-1 TWPT and 150 mg·kg^-1·d^-1 Cuscutae Semen total flavonoids）， with 10 in each group. After 3 weeks of continuous administration， the uterus/brain and ovarian/brain indexes were calculated， and the pathological changes of ovarian tissue were observed under light microscope. The content of estradiol in serum was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Immunofluorescence assay was performed to observe the expressions of germline stem cell markers in ovarian epithelium， including mouse vasa homologue （Mvh）， octamer-binding transcription factor 4 （Oct4）， tyrosine-protein kinase receptor （c-kit）， Nanog， Notch signaling pathway molecules， neurogenic locus notch homolog protein 1 （Notch1）， hes family BHLH transcription factor 1（Hes1）， and jagged canonical Notch ligand 1 （JAG1）. ResultCompared with the normal group， low and high doses of TWPT had no significant effect on the uterus/brain and ovary/brain indexes and the uterus and ovary morphologies of mice， while only the number of atretic follicles was increased （P<0.01）. The expressions of ovarian germline stem cell markers and Notch signaling pathway molecules had a decreasing trend in TWPT low-dose group， while the expressions of Mvh， c-kit， and Nanog were down-regulated （P<0.05， P<0.01） and the expressions of Notch1 and Hes1 were also reduced （P<0.01） in TWPT high-dose group. However， the above indexes were increased in Cuscutae Semen total flavonoids low-dose group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the low does of TWPT group， the combination group had a decrease in the increased number of atretic follicles （P<0.01）， an improvement in the down-regulated expressions of Mvh and Nanog （P<0.01）， and an increase in the expressions of Notch1 and Hes1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionOvarian germline stem cells are the source target of the reproductive toxicity of TWPT. Cuscutae Semen total flavonoids participate in the regulation of the germline stem cell pathways to alleviate the reproductive toxicity caused by TWPT， and its mechanism of action may be related to the Notch signaling pathway.
