Aim To search the effective malaria mixed gene vaccine and to explore the immune response of vaccinated host. The recombinant pcDNA3-EBA175/HRP Ⅱ was injected alone or mixed with pcDNA3-Pfs25 of Plasmodium falciparum into mice by intramuscular route. The muscle of injected parts were treated previously, e.g. injecting 50μl of 0. 5%bupivacaine into the muscle of left latter leg, with 2mm depth. To observed the changes of IgG antibody value, the splenic lymphocyte proliferation, the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ subgroups and NK cell killing activity. After injecting recombinant pcDNA3-EBA175/HRP Ⅱ alone or mixed with pcDNA3-Pfs25 into mice by intramuscular route, it showed that sera IgG value increased, the splenic T lymphocyte proliferation stimulated by specific antigen of Plasmodium falciparum increased, the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ decreased and NK cell activity increased. Enhanced immune injection could improve host's immune reaction.It is suggested intramuscular injection is an effective immune route, and mice inoculated with coding two gene recombinant alone or that mixed with sexual stage gene recombinant could all induce increased humoral and cellular immune response, and NK cell activity.

Objective To construct the eukaryotic expression recombinant plasmid, pcIFN-γ, as a genetic adjuvant and observe the immune responses elicited by pcDNA3-rhoptry protein 1 (pc-ROP1) combined with pcIFN-γ against Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) infection in mice. Methods A fragment of the IFN-γ gene was directly inserted into the pcDNA3 plasmid and identified by two restriction endonucleases digestion. pcIFN and pcROP1 DNA was injected into the left leg muscle of mice at a dosage of 100*!μg, and a booster vaccination was given at the same dosage after two weeks. Control groups were injected with pcDNA3 blank plasmid or normal saline. At 30, 50 and 70 days after booster injection, kinetic tests were carried out: MTT assay for the proliferation response of T lymphocyte cells and the activity of NK cells, sandwich ABC-ELISA for the determination of IFN-γ, IL-2 and IL-10; a serum enzymetic aassay for nitric oxide (NO) in sera and ELISA for the titer of IgG antibody in sera. Results The recombinant plasmid, pcIFN-γ was constructed. The proliferation response of spleen T lymph cells, NK cell killing activity, and serum levels of IFN-γ, IL-2 and NO in mice injected with pcROP1 and pcIFN-γ were higher than in those injected with pcROP1 alone. There was no difference in IgG antibody levels between the two groups. Conclusion The genetic adjuvant, pcIFN-γ, could enhance the cellular immune response induced by DNA vaccine of pcROP1 in mice against Toxoplasma gondii infection.

Objective:
This study used cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to compare the characteristics of left ventricular remodeling in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) with those of patients with essential hypertension (EH) and healthy controls (HCs).
Materials and Methods:
This prospective study enrolled 35 patients with PA, in addition to 35 age- and sex-matched patients with EH, and 35 age- and sex-matched HCs, all of whom underwent comprehensive clinical and cardiac MRI examinations. The analysis of variance was used to detect the differences in the characteristics of left ventricular remodeling among the three groups. Univariable and multivariable linear regression analyses were used to determine the relationships between left ventricular remodeling and the physiological variables.
Results:
The left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (EDVi) (mean ± standard deviation [SD]: 85.1 ± 13.0 mL/m2 for PA, 75.9 ± 14.3 mL/m2 for EH, and 77.3 ± 12.8 mL/m2 for HC; p = 0.010), left ventricular end-systolic volume index (ESVi) (mean ± SD: 35.2 ± 9.8 mL/m2 for PA, 30.7 ± 8.1 mL/m2 for EH, and 29.5 ± 7.0 mL/m2 for HC; p = 0.013), left ventricular mass index (mean ± SD: 65.8 ± 16.5 g/m2 for PA, 56.9 ± 12.1 g/m2 for EH, and 44.1 ± 8.9 g/m2 for HC; p < 0.001), and native T1 (mean ± SD: 1224 ± 39 ms for PA, 1201 ± 47 ms for EH, and 1200 ± 44 ms for HC; p = 0.041) values were higher in the PA group compared to the EH and HC groups. Multivariable linear regression demonstrated that log (plasma aldosteroneto-renin ratio) was independently correlated with EDVi and ESVi. Plasma aldosterone was independently correlated with native T1.
Conclusion
Patients with PA showed a greater degree of ventricular hypertrophy and enlargement, as well as myocardial fibrosis, compared to those with EH. Cardiac MRI T1 mapping can detect left ventricular myocardial fibrosis in patients with PA.
