1.Advances of controlled human malaria infection and its application in development of vaccines against Plasmodium falciparum malaria
Chinese Journal of Biologicals 2025;38(03):366-372
Malaria is one of the most common insect-borne infectious diseases in the world. Among the five known malaria parasites infecting human beings, Plasmodium falciparum has the highest morbidity and mortality, and is one of the most important public health problems in the epidemic areas. With the increasing drug resistance of malaria parasites, people′s demand for malaria vaccine is more urgent. Human challenge trials(HCTs) can obtain preliminary evidence of vaccine effectiveness and safety by vaccinating fewer subjects, which is faster than traditional clinical trials, being a feasible method to study pathogenesis, immune mechanism and evaluate the efficacy of vaccine candidates. As a kind of HCTs against malaria,controlled human malaria infection(CHMI) has been widely used in clinical trials of malaria vaccines. In this paper, the application of HCTs in malaria research, the materials and methods of establishing CHMI model of Plasmodium falciparum,and the application of CHMI in malaria vaccine development were reviewed in order to provide new ideas for accelerating the development and improvement of new malaria vaccines.

Objective To study the relationship of implicit memory and amnesia effect of oral midazolarn premedication and toobserve its anterograde amnesia, the effect on short-term memory and the onset time and out come of retrograde amnesia. Methods60 patients with ASA I - Ⅱ status undergoing abdomen and limb operations were divided into 3 groups with 20 cases each. Group A:oral midazolam 7.5mg;Group B:oral 15mg;Group C:placebo. The patients received combined spinal-epidural anesthesia after oral midazolam. The parameterns of EEG, SEF 95 %, BISwere collected at the same time and the degree and remark of sedation were dome according to OAA/S. The amnesia and implicit memory were investigated with pictures and muddy identified hearing rate 6 hours after operation. Results (1)Twenty min following drug ad dministration the remarks of sedation of group A and B were significantly loWver than that before and that of group C, Which was not significently different between group A and B. ( 2)The amnesia rates tested six hrs after surgery were significantly higher at 30min in group A, 20min in group B than those before treatment and were kept at 70%-80% levels, which in group C was remained zero. (3)The muddy identified hearing rate was not different significantly, among the three groups. (4) The short-term memory was all 100%during the period of drug action. (5)BIS and SEF 95% Were lower 30min after the treatment and all kept at 80 Hz and 20 Hz, which were not different remarkably between group A and B. ConclnsionOral midazolam 7. 5mg has a good effect on anterograde amnesia 30min after treatment, which may not be improved with increament in dosage. It does not lead to retrograde amnesia. The long-term memory, but not short-term memory, was impaired by midazolam. It only affects the explicit memory. Oral premnedication with midazolam can not prevent the awareness during operation totally.

Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2018;38(4):439-444
Objective: To compile the osteoporosis prevention and control behavior scale for health care workers in community and evaluate its validity and reliability. Methods: In 20 standardized diagnosis and treatment pilot community health service centers for osteoporosis in Shanghai, 400 health care workers were conveniently sampled to conduct the survey and 20 of them who were randomly sampled underwent retest 2 weeks later. The validity of the scale was evaluated by content validity and structural validity. The reliability of the scale was tested by Cronbach's α coefficient, retest reliability and split-half reliability. Results: A total of 19 items were retained after project analysis. Scale-level content validity index/universal agreement (S-CVI/UA) and scale-level CVI/average (S-CVI/Ave) were 0.944 and 0.992, respectively, after an entry with item-level CVI (I-CVI) less than 0.78 was deleted. Four common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis, and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 85.94%. Results of confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the model was consistent with the theoretical assumption, and the fitness indexes χ2/df, CFI, GFI, and RMSEA were 3.323, 0.971, 0.902, and 0.076, respectively. The overall Cronbach's α coefficient of this scale was 0.978 and the Cronbach's α coefficients of the four dimensions were all over 0.9. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of each item was greater than 0.7, and the ICC of the total scale was 0.654. The split-half reliability coefficient was 0.932. Conclusion: The osteoporosis prevention and control behavior scale has good reliability and validity and can be used to evaluate the implementation of osteoporosis prevention and control behavior of health care workers in community.

Objective To explore the effect of electromyogram-triggered neuromusclar stimulation (ETNS) on motor function of upper limbs of stroke patients. Methods 45 stroke patients from July, 2011 to December, 2012 in China Rehabilitation Research Center were randomly divided into control group (n=15), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) group (n=15) and ETNS group (n=15). 3 groups were given routine medication and rehabilitation treatment. They were assessed with the largest surface electromyography (sEMG), Simple Test for Evaluating Hand Function (STEF), and modified Barthel Index before and after treatment. Results After treatment, the range of sEMG of extension carpi radialis and STEF improved in three groups (P<0.05). NMES group and ETNS group were better than the control group (P<0.05), and ETNS group was better than NMES group (P<0.05). The scores of modified Barthel Index rose (P<0.05), NMES group and ETNS group were better than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Both NMES and ETNS can improve the motor recovery of upper limbs after stroke, and ETNS is more effective.

Based on ninety three acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) which have the same mechanism of action but are different in structural characteristics, the pharmacophore model for acetylcholinesterase inhibitor was constructed by the CATALYST system. The optimal pharmacophore model with three hydrophobic units, a ring aromatic unit and a hydrogen-bond acceptor unit were confirmed (Weight=3.29, RMS=0.53, total cost-null cost=62.75, Correl=0.93, Config=19.05). This pharmacophore model will act on the double active site of acetylcholinesterase and is able to predict the activity of known acetylcholinesterase inhibitors that are used for clinical treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and can be further used to identify structurally diverse compounds that have higher activity treating with Alzheimer's disease (AD) by virtual screening.
