Vaccination has been proved to be the most effective strategy to prevent the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The mRNA vaccine based on nano drug delivery system (NDDS) - lipid nanoparticles (LNP) has been widely used because of its high effectiveness and safety. Although there have been reports of severe allergic reactions caused by mRNA-LNP vaccines, the mechanism and components of anaphylaxis have not been completely clarified yet. This review focuses on two mRNA-LNP vaccines, BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273. After summarizing the structural characteristics, potential allergens, possible allergic reaction mechanism, and pharmacokinetics of mRNA and LNP

Objective To understand the epidemic situation and characteristics of malaria in Yunnan Province,so as to pro?vide the reference for malaria elimination. Methods The data of malaria reported in the information system were collected and analyzed in Yunnan Province from 2011 to 2013. Results From 2011 to 2013,totally 2 256 malaria cases were found in Yun?nan Province,with a morbidity of 0.162 8 per million and three of them were death cases. The local cases mainly distributed along the boundary and accounted for 29.48%,while the imported cases mainly came from Myanmar and accounted for 70.52%. The number of endemic counties with local malaria cases decreased from 37 to 10 during the three years. The number of import?ed cases reached the peak in May and the local cases in June. The patients were mainly aged from 20 to 49 years old(accounted for 70.58%),and 85.24% of the cases were peasants and laborers. Totally 86.66% of cases were laboratory confirmed cases, and 13.14% were clinically diagnosed. The proportions of cases reported by hospitals,health service centers and CDCs were 33.02%,37.06% and 29.92%,respectively. Conclusions The prevalence of malaria in Yunnan Province decreased from 2011 to 2013. The work of malaria cases double?checked by province?level CDCs is effective. However,the awareness and accurately diagnostic capability of clinical doctors still should be strengthened.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of augmentative locking compression plate combined with bone graft in treating aseptic femoral shaft nonunion after intramedullary nailing.
METHODSTwenty-one cases with aseptic femoral shaft nonunion after intramedullary nailing from January 2007 to January 2013 were treated,including 18 males and 3 females with a mean age of 37.7 years (ranged from 23 to 64 years). The mean period of nonunion after surgery was 23.9 months (ranged from 9 to 62 months). According to Weber-Cech classification,10 of those 21 cases were hypertrophic nonunion,7 were atrophic, and 4 had oligotrophic fracture nonunion. All patients retained the original intramedullary nail, and applied with augmentation plating of 6 to 8 holes locking compression plate, unicortical fixation with 2 to 3 locking screws in the proximal or distal end, with simultaneous autologous iliac bone grafting. After treatment,all patients were allowed to partial weight-bearing until full weight-bearing according to the radiological results. All patients were followed up and were evaluated with clinical and imaging results.
RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 8 to 24 months, averaged (13.5±3.5) months,which showed clinical union at 4 to 8 months, averaged (6.0±1.0) months and radiological solid union at 7 to 12 months, averaged (9.1±1.5) months. No such complications as infection,hardware loosening or breaking were found.
CONCLUSIONAugmentative locking compression plate(LCP) combined with bone graft for aseptic femoral shaft nonunion after intramedullary nail has a satisfied clinical efficacy. It's an useful and simple method.

Surface molecularly imprinted polymers (SMIPs) for selective adsorption of ampicillin sodium were synthesized using surface molecular imprinting technique with silica gel as a support. The physical and morphological characteristics of the polymers were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), elemental analysis and nitrogen adsorption–desorption test. The obtained results showed that the SMIPs displayed great adsorption capacity (13.5μg/mg), high recognition ability (the imprinted factor is 3.2) and good binding kinetics for ampicillin sodium. Finally, as solid phase extraction adsorbents, the SMIPs coupled with HPLC method were validated and applied for the enrichment, purification and determination of ampicillin sodium in real milk and blood samples. The averages of spiked accuracy ranged from 92.1%to 107.6%. The relative standard deviations of intra-and inter-day precisions were less than 4.6%. This study provides a new and promising method for enriching, extracting and determining ampicillin sodium in complex biological samples.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of low T3 syndrome in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI) and explore the effect of low T3 syndrome on outcome of AMI.MethodsThree hundred and thirty-eight patients with AMI admitted to cardiac care unit(CCU) underwent examinations of thyroid function and cardial ultrasound,and were further categorized according to thyroid hormone profile.The records of noninvasive bi-level positive airway pressure(BiPAP)ventilation utilization,length of hospital stay,mortality during hospitalization were evaluated,and the related factors were analysed.ResultsOne hundred and thirty-nine of the 338 patients(41.12%) with AMI complicated with low T3 syndrome.Free triiodothyronine(FT3) was the independent influential factor for length of hospital stay.Low FT3 was significantly correlated with noninvasive BiPAP ventilation utilization and mortality during hospitalization.The average time of follow-up was(21.4?8.1) months.It was revealed by multivariate Cox regression analysis that FT3 was the chief predictor for cumulative death(risk ratio,4.25;95% confidential interval,2.30-7.87),followed by age and left ventricular ejection fraction.ConclusionThe recognition of AMI complicated with low T3 syndrome plays an important role in predicting the disease severity and outcome.

An S-naproxen (S-NAP) molecularly imprinted monolithic stationary phase (MIMSP) with specific recognition for S-NAP and naproxen (NAP) was prepared by in situ technique,utilizing 4-vinylpridine (4-VP) as a function monomer,ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) as a cross-linking agent,and low-polar solvents (toluene and dodecanol) as porogenic solvents.The selectivity of the polymers for S-NAP and NAP was evaluated by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).The binding characteristics were tested by Scatchard analysis.Racemic NAP could be specifically separated to some extent.At the same time,NAP could be separated from ibuprofen under optimized conditions.Scatchard analysis showed that two classes of binding sites existed in the S-NAP-imprinted polymers,with their dissociation constants estimated to be 1.045 and 5.496 μM,respectively.The results demonstrate that S-NAP and NAP can be recognized specifically on the obtained MIMSP.
