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.

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.

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.

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.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of glimepiride on the glucose uptake as well as glucose transporter (GLUT)-1 and GLUT-3 expression levels of rat mandibular osteoblasts in hyperglycemia.

METHODSPrimary osteoblasts were isolated and cultured. Then, the cells were placed in an osteogenic medium containing two glucose concentrations (5.5 and 16.5 mmol X L(-1)), with or without glimepiride (10 micromol x L(-1)). Glucose uptake was determined by employing 18F-deoxyglucose (18F-FDG) in the cells, and GLUT-1 and GLUT-3 expression levels were evaluated by Western blot analysis.

RESULTSGlucose at 16.5 mmol x L(-1) significantly inhibited 18F-FDG uptake and downregulated GLUT-3 protein expression in osteoblasts. Hyperglycemia increased GLUT-1 protein expression. Glimepiride significantly increased glucose uptake and upregulated GLUT-1 and GLUT-3.

CONCLUSIONGlimepiride enhance the glucose transporter in rat osteoblasts at two different glucose concentrations.
