Objective To screen the optimum conditions carrying murine melanoma B16 cells in spaceflights without cares.MethodsMurine melanoma cells were cultured on micocarriers and grouped depending on cells concentration, serum concentration, microcarrier number and temperature.After 33 days, B16 cells were stained by Giemsa, observed with phase-contrast microscope and counted for surviving percentage.ResultsThe optimum conditions,in which the surviving percentages were 8% and 10%, were obtained in the experiments.B16 cells were carried in the 20th recoverable satellite orbiting 18 days under the optimum conditions. After recovering, 110 strain monocloned cells were survived and the surviving percentage was 1.1%.ConclusionThe optimum conditions carrying murine melanoma B16 cells in spaceflights without cares seems to be obtained,and it did improve the surviving time and percentage of cells in spaceflights without cares.

ObjectiveTo search for a new method of anti-tumor immunity,using mutated tumor cells by spaceflight.MethodsTumor cells were carried in the Shenzhou 4 and the recoverable satellite No.18.After 7 days and 18 days spaceflight respectively,the effects of spaceflight were investigated primarily.Results2382 and 1 strains of mutated tumor cells from the airship No.4 and the recoverable satellite No.18 had been obtained respectively. Comparing with the control group, the growth rate of mutated cells decreased, moreover, the secretion of cytokines also changed.ConclusionSpaceflight may affect physiological characteristics of tumor cells, and that, there was a negative correlation between the ratio of surviving cells and carrying time.

Trained immunity-based vaccines (TIbV) is an emerging vaccine strategy in the field of vaccine research, referring to vaccines designed based on the principles of trained immunity (TI). TI involves the enhanced immune response of innate immune cells upon re-stimulation after being trained. TIbV, built on the concept of TI, aims to enhance resistance to various infectious pathogens by training the host′s innate immune system to acquire natural immune memory. This approach is designed to bolster immunity against a wide range of infectious agents, including those not covered by conventional vaccines. This article reviews the concepts, mechanisms, application areas, and future prospects of TIbV, intending to offer a new perspective for vaccine development and design.

In this study, the current status for breast diseases in a region with high-incidence of cervical cancer were epidemiologically investigated. From March to August, 2009, 17618 women, from Wufeng area of Hubei province, China, were recruited to screen breast diseases by using breast infrared diagnostic apparatus. Other diagnostic methods, such as B-mode ultrasound, X-ray mammography, needle biopsy and pathological examination were, if necessary, used to further confirm the diagnosis. The screening showed that 5990 of 17618 cases (34.00%) had breast diseases, 5843 (33.16%) had mammary gland hyperplasia, 48 (0.27%) had breast fibroadenoma, 11 (0.06%) had breast carcinoma, and 88 (0.50%) had other breast diseases. The peak morbidity of breast cancer was found in the women aged 50-60 ages. The morbidity of breast cancer was significantly increased in women elder than or equal to 50 years old (n=8, 0.157%) in comparison with that in the subjects younger than 50 years old (n=3, 0.024%) (u=2.327, P<0.05). It was shown that the occurrence of breast diseases was concentrated in women aged 20-40 years, while the total morbidity reached its peak at the age of 30 years and then decreased sharply after age of 40. Compared with the patients elder than or equal to 40 years old (n=3289, 27.46%), the morbidity rate of breast diseases was significantly increased in women less than 40 years old (2648 cases, 47.18%; P<0.001). However, there was no significant difference in the morbidity of breast diseases between the age group of 20-29 years and that of 30-39 years (P=0.453), and both of them were high. There was no significant association between the morbidity of breast diseases and cervical cancer. Since the morbidity of breast diseases was higher among young women, more attention should be paid to the screening of breast diseases among young women for early diagnosis.
