Tumor vaccine is one of the most promising therapeutic strategies in tumor immunotherapy. It promotes the antigen presentation process by delivering tumor antigen and then activates the anti-tumor immune response. As a new class of vaccines, messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines can activate the immune system to achieve the purpose of immunotherapy by delivering the mRNA sequence of a specific antigen into the body and expressing the corresponding antigen protein. Compared with traditional vaccines, mRNA vaccines have the advantages of a short production cycle, high effectiveness, and strong immunogenicity. In recent years, the application of mRNA vaccines in tumor immunotherapy has attracted widespread attention, but the instability and low delivery efficiency of mRNA limit its application. Nano delivery system can effectively solve the problem of mRNA vaccine delivery, greatly promote the research process and clinical application of mRNA tumor vaccines, and has become a hot spot in the research of mRNA vaccines. In this review, we introduced the mRNA tumor vaccines, focusing on the application of nano delivery system in mRNA tumor vaccines, in order to provide new ideas and new methods for the efficient delivery of mRNA tumor vaccines and tumor immunotherapy.

BACKGROUND:Very smal embryonic-like stem cells are a kind of non-hemopoietic stem cells, which have similar biological characteristics to embryonic stem cells. But the method of its culture and in vitro proliferation is rarely reported. Studies have speculated that human embryonic fibroblasts can provide a good microenvironment for in vitro culture and proliferation of very smal embryonic-like stem cells.
OBJECTIVE:To isolate and cultivate human embryonic fibroblasts derived from human embryonic trunks and to establish a feeder layer culture system of human embryonic fibroblasts for culturing very smal embryonic-like stem cells derived from human bone marrow.
METHODS:The human embryonic fibroblasts were isolated from the subcutaneous connective tissue of human embryos at pregnant 5-9 weeks using trypsin digestion method. Different concentrations of mitomycin C were used to pretreat feeder layers, which were used for cultivating very smal embryonic-like stem cells derived from human bone marrow. The effects of human embryonic fibroblasts and feeder layers were assessed by cel morphology and growth curves.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The human embryonic fibroblasts were successful y isolated and cultivated from human embryos, and they could be passaged beyond the 24th generation. The biologic characteristics of the cells had no changes after passage and cryopreservation. The optimal concentration of mytomcin C to inhibit proliferation of human embryonic fibroblasts was l2 mg/L for 3 hours. The human embryonic fibroblasts derived from human embryos are successful y isolated and cultivated and to produce feeder layers for very smal embryonic-like stem cells derived from human bone marrow.

The objective structured teaching evaluation (OSTE) is a new method for training and objective assessment of the teaching ability of clinical faculty by using standardized students and teaching scenario.It is mainly used to evaluate training programs,train teaching skills and assess teaching ability of clinical faculty.The differences and association between teaching ability,teaching skills and teaching scenario should be clarified before designing OSTE.Although there are some differences in various studies,OSTE can be summarized into two aspects:teaching administration knowledge and special teaching skills.Given the great potential of OSTE in training and assessing faculty,medical educators in general should actively explore its concept and application.

Objective To study the CT features of thoracic sarcoidosis in senile and pre senile patients. Methods The findings in 25 patients(14 elderly patients and 11 pre senile patients) manifesting thoracic sarcoidosis were reviewed. Results Nine patients with typical findings and sixteen patients with atypical findings were reported at retrospective presentation. The atypical patterns at CT included mediastinal adenopathy with unilateral hilar adenopathy( n =3, 3/25), mediastinal adenopathy alone ( n =7, 7/25), unilateral hilar adenopathy alone ( n =1, 1/25), and lung abnormal findings without any mediastinal and/or hilar adenopathy ( n =5, 5/25). The latter 5 patients were misdiagnosed at the first clinical consultation. Conclusions The thoracic sarcoidosis in the elderly often manifests atypical patterns, and the recognition of the key point is of importance and helpful for the definite diagnosis.

Objective To prospectively compare the clinical effect of 131I therapy for Graves disease (GD) using the 131I-iodide dose determined by radioactive iodine uptake formula and by individualized experience method respectively.Methods (1) A total of 527 GD patients referred for 131I therapy were enrolled and divided into two groups using interval sampling method.Group 1 consisted of 241 patients with their 131I activity calculated by iodine uptake formula.Group 2 consisted of 286 patients with their 131I activity calculated by individualized method based on clinical experience.(2) The patients who were not cured for the first time were retreated after 3 months in the same way until remission.(3) All patients were followed for more than 1 year after GD was cured.The clinical outcome was compared between the 2 groups.x2 test and two-sample t test were used for data analysis.Results There were no significant differences in age,gender,disease course,ATD pretreatment,the time of ATD discontinuation,level of thyroid hormone and autoantibody before 131I therapy,131I uptake rate,size of thyroid and duration of follow-up between the two groups (t=0.156-1.430,x2 =0.159,all P>0.05).Group 1 had less 131I dose than group 2 ((247.9± 107.3) MBq vs (329.3±177.6) MBq,t=6.102,P<0.05),fewer patients whose disease was controlled at early stage (x2 =25.279,P<0.05) and lower remission rate for the first time of treatment (x2 =13.074,P< 0.05),but higher repeated treatment rate (t =2.735,P<0.05) and ratio of hypothyroidism to normalized patients at the first treatment (x2=10.190,P<0.05).The number of patients with permanent hypothyroidism between the two groups had no statistically significant difference (x2=1.138,P>0.05).Conclusions The first treatment dose of 131I by individualized experience method is slightly higher than that by radioactive iodine uptake formula.Individualized treatment method for GD based on experience might help to control the GD earlier and improve the one-off remission rate without increasing the rate of hypothyroidism.

Objective To apply 360 degree evaluation in competence assessment of community general practice trainers.Methods The 360 degree evaluation questionnaire was designed by authors and the evaluation was applied to assess the personal comprehensive quality,competence in general practice and teaching of 16 general practice trainers in Fenglin Community Health Service Center of Shanghai Xuhui District.Results The scores of personal comprehensive quality,competency in general practice and teaching were 7.73 ± 0.73,6.91 ± 0.91 and 6.44 ± 1.38,respectively.The total scores from different evaluators were 6.93 ± 0.12 for peers,6.68 ± 0.74 for hospital executives,8.17 ± 0.12 for nurses and 6.43 ± 0.89 from self evaluation (F =27.91,P =0.000).Conclusion The variance between different evaluators in 360 degree evaluation can avoid bias of single one.The results of 360 degree evaluation show that the teaching ability of community general practice trainer is relatively low,suggesting the training of teaching ability should be strengthened for these trainers.
