Vaccination is an effective strategy to prevent infectious or immune related diseases, which has made remarkable contribution in human history. Recently increasing attentions have been paid to mucosal vaccination due to its multiple advantages over conventional ways. Subunit or peptide antigens are more reasonable immunogens for mucosal vaccination than live or attenuated pathogens, however adjuvants are required to augment the immune responses. Many mucosal adjuvants have been developed to prime desirable immune responses to different etiologies. Compared with pathogen derived adjuvants, innate endogenous molecules incorporated into mucosal vaccines demonstrate prominent adjuvanticity and safety. Nowadays, cytokines are broadly used as mucosal adjuvants for participation of signal transduction of immune responses, activation of innate immunity and polarization of adaptive immunity. Desired immune responses are promptly and efficaciously primed on basis of specific interactions between cytokines and corresponding receptors. In addition, some other innate molecules are also identified as potent mucosal adjuvants. This review focuses on innate endogenous mucosal adjuvants, hoping to shed light on the development of mucosal vaccines.

Objective To explore the effect of Xingnao acupuncture combined with swallowing rehabilitation training on dysphagia after stroke .Methods 66 patients with dysphagia after stroke were selected as the research subjects ,and they were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group ,33 cases in each group .The control group was given rehabilitation training on the basis of conventional treatment ,while the observation group was given Xingnao acupuncture method on the basis of the control group .The therapeutic effect ,swallowing function and adverse reactions were observed before and after treatment in the two groups .Results After treatment,the treatment effect in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group ,there was statistically significant difference between the two groups (Z=-4.123,P<0.05).The total effective rates of the two groups were 93.94％, 75.76％,respectively,there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (χ2 =1.906,P>0.05). After treatment,the Watian drinking water test scores,standardized swallowing assessment (SSA) score,dysphagia score in the control group were (1.39 ±0.47) points,(23.02 ±5.24) points,(1.25 ±0.55) points,respectively, which in the observation group were (0.74 ±0.39) points,(18.26 ±3.71) points,(0.74 ±0.28) points,and the differences were statistically significant compared with before treatment ( the control group:t =21.453,10.644, 26.212,all P<0.05;the observation group:t=27.779,14.15,37.469,all P<0.05),which in the observation group were better than those in the control group ,the differences were statistically significant ( t=6.114,4.259,4.747,all P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse events between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion Xingnao acupuncture combined with swallowing rehabilitation training in the treatment of dysphagia after stroke can effectively improve the swallowing function ,improve the quality of life of patients ,and it is safe,reliable and worthy of promotion in clinical practice .
