Objective:To investigate the immune effects of Clostridium difficile toxoid B (CdtB) vaccine formulated with different mucosal adjuvants through microneedle immunization, and to provide ideas for the prevention and treatment of Clostridium difficile infection. Methods:CdtB vaccine was prepared with purified Clostridium difficile toxin B(TcdB) after formaldehyde detoxification. Female BALB/c mice were immunized with different doses of vaccine alone or in combination with mucosal adjuvants. The titers of specific serum IgG and fecal IgA were detected at 0 d, 7 d, 14 d, 28 d and 42 d after immunization. The protective effects of CdtB vaccine were evaluated by cell neutralization assay and Clostridium difficile challenge infection. Results:(1) With the increase of immune dose, the mice immunized with CdtB vaccine alone by microneedle not only produced better serum specific IgG, but also had higher level of IgA in feces. (2) When the mice were immunized with CdtB vaccine containing LT or CTB adjuvant by microneedle, the trend of serum specific IgG titer in each group increased with the increase of immune dose, especially in the group containing LT adjuvant. There were significant differences in the trend of specific IgA titer in feces between the adjuvant groups and the group without adjuvant, but the adjuvant effect was not obvious. (3) No significant difference in serum IgG titer was observed between the mice immunized with 10 μg CdtB by microneedle or intraperitoneal injection, but microneedle immunization significantly increased fecal IgA level. (4) The neutralization titers of specific antibodies in mouse serum after immunization and the test results of challenge protection in mice confirmed that the use of CdtB vaccine had certain protective effects.Conclusions:CdtB vaccine had better immune effects in mice through microneedle immunization, but the adjuvant effects of LT and CTB were not significant.

Objective:To explore the correlation between abdominal aortic calcification and serum cell division cycle 42 (CDC-42) in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, and to explore the influencing factors of them.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Blood Purification Center of Qingdao Municipal Hospital,112 patients who underwent MHD for more than 6 months from October 2019 to March 2021 were selected. The abdominal aortic calcification score (ACCs) was calculated by reference to the abdominal lateral X flat tablets. According to AACS, 50 cases were divided into no and mild calcification group (0≤AACS<5 points) and 62 cases were divided into moderate and severe calcification group (AACS≥5 points). The level of serum CDC-42 was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Taking the median serum CDC-42 level as the boundary, 56 cases were divided into low CDC-42 group and high CDC-42 group. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between indicators. The risk factors of elevated CDC-42 and abdominal aortic calcification in MHD patients were explored by multivariate logistic regression analysis, and the variables were included by entry method.Results:In 112 patients, 91 cases (81.25%, 91/112) had abdominal aortic calcification, and the median serum CDC-42 level was 466.56 (335.56,623.57) ng/L. CDC-42, AACs, age, dialysis age, diabetic nephropathy, glycosylated hemoglobin, alkaline phosphatase, parathormone and calcium in the no and mild calcification groups were 347.77 (291.20, 419.53) ng/L, 1.00 (0.00, 3.00) points, (57.18±6.25) years, 31.50 (15.00, 49.25) months, 34.00%(17/50), (6.63±0.97)%, 116.22 (87.32, 152.13) U/L, 258.57 (143.40, 433.31) ng/L, (2.18±0.26) mmol/L, and in the moderate to severe calcification group were 602.69 (489.61, 762.73) ng/L, 10.00 (7.00, 16.25) points, (60.81±7.12) years, 49.00 (18.00, 67.00) months, 53.23%(33/62), (7.07±1.20)%, 144.34 (99.71, 201.76) U/L, 336.57 (230.63, 506.00) ng/L,(2.28±0.26) mmol/L, with statistically significant differences between the two groups(The statistical values were 6.99, 9.11, 2.83, 2.45, 4.14, 2.08, 2.04, 2.16 and 1.99, respectively, all P<0.05). CDC-42, AACs, glycosylated hemoglobin and parathormone in the low CDC-42 group were 336.50 (295.10, 395.25) ng/L, 2.00 (0.00, 4.00) points, (6.62±1.06) %, 250.60 (140.20, 462.02) ng/L,and in the high CDC-42 group were 622.92 (558.11, 836.65) ng/L, 10.00 (6.25, 15.75) points, (7.13±1.13) %, 347.21 (240.40,501.20) ng/L, with statistically significant differences between the two groups (The statistical values are 6.51, 5.21, 2.43 and 2.54, respectively,all P<0.05). Abdominal aortic calcification has positive correlations with CDC-42 ( r s=0.704, P<0.001), age ( r s=0.308, P=0.001), dialysis years ( r s=0.198, P=0.036), glycosylated hemoglobin ( r s=0.358, P<0.001), alkaline phosphatase ( r s=0.187, P=0.048), parathormone ( r s=0.437, P<0.001), serum calciu m( r s=0.323, P=0.001) and serum phospho-rus ( r s=0.251, P=0.007), and negative correlation with serum albumin( r s=-0.276, P=0.003). This study has confirmed that high serum CDC-42 ( OR=1.010, 95%CI:1.004-1.016, P=0.001) and senior dialysis age ( OR=1.033, 95%CI:1.006-1.061, P=0.018) were independent risk factors for moderate to severe abdominal aortic calcification.Serum CDC-42 levels has positive correlation with AACs ( r s=0.704, P<0.001), age ( r s=0.240, P=0.011), dialysis age ( r s=0.191, P=0.044), glycosylated hemoglobin ( r s=0.350, P<0.001), parathormone ( r s=0.380, P<0.001) and serum calcium ( r s=0.235, P=0.013). This study learned that,high AACs ( OR=1.185, 95%CI:1.037-1.354, P=0.013) and high parathormone ( OR=1.005, 95%CI:1.001-1.009, P=0.009) were independent risk factors for high CDC-42. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC-AUC) of serum CDC-42 in predicting moderate and severe abdominal aortic calcification in MHD patients was 0.885. When the cut-off point was 466.56 ng/L, the predictive sensitivity and specificity were 79% and 86% respectively. Conclusion:The degree of abdominal aortic calcification in MHD patients was positively correlated with the level of serum CDC-42. High serum CDC-42 and high dialysis age were independent risk factors for abdominal aortic calcification in MHD patients. High AACS and high parathyroid hormone were independent risk factors for the increase of serum CDC-42 in MHD patients .

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of lenalidomide combined with bortezomib and dexamethasone (RVD) in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM).Methods:A total of 100 consecutive NDMM patients treated with RVD from August 2016 to September 2020 at Peking University People′s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, including response, drug toxicity, follow-up and survival, and subgroup analysis.Results:The median follow-up time was 19.5 (2.0-57.0) months. For patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) after RVD regimen, the objective response rate (ORR)/complete response+stringent complete response (CR+sCR)/≥very good partial response (VGPR) rates were 100%, 73.3% (33/45), 95.6% (43/45) respectively. For 54 patients not receiving transplantation, the ORR/CR+sCR/≥VGPR rates were 79.6% (43/54), 18.5% (10/54), 51.9% (28/54) respectively. As to the survival analysis, 2-year progression free survival (PFS) rates were 84.5% and 70.9% in transplant and non-transplant patients respectively ( P=0.102). Two-year overall survival (OS) rates were 100% and 80.8% in transplant and non-transplant patients respectively ( P=0.003). The common hematologic adverse events (AEs) were thrombocytopenia (33%) and neutropenia (25%). Abnormal liver function (43%) and peripheral neuropathy (24%) were recognized more as non-hematologic AEs. Conclusion:RVD as front-line regimen has high efficient response rate and acceptable safety in Chinese NDMM patients.

The air quality of simulated moxibustion clinic was tested, which could provide references for the evaluation on air pollution in moxibustion clinic. After the clinical environment of moxibustion was established,the contents of CO,NO, PM 10 and PM 2.5 in the air at 5 different time points (0.5 h, 1 h and 2 h after 10 moxa sticks were ignited as well as 5 min ventilation after 0.5 h moxibustion burning and 5 min ventilation after 1 h moxibustion burning) were measured by testing organizations.0.5 h, 1 h and 2 h after 10 moxa sticks were ignited, the content ranges of CO,NO, PM 10 and PM 2.5 in the air were 15.9 to 37.0 mg/m,0.012 6 to 0.022 4 mg/m,0.22 to 1.28 mg/mand 0.13 to 0.53 mg/m, respectively; the contents of CO, PM 10 and PM 2.5 were higher than national standard. With 5 min ventilation after 0.5 h moxibustion burning and 5 min ventilation after 1 h moxibustion burning, the content ranges of CO,NO,PM 10 and PM 2.5 were 0.3 to 0.4 mg/m,0.015 5 to 0.018 0 mg/m,0.11 to 0.13 mg/mand 0.04 mg/m, respectively; the contents of CO, PM 10 and PM 2.5 were lower than national standard. It is concluded that long-time moxibustion could cause relatively high concentration of moxa smoke, and the contents of CO, PM 10 and PM 2.5 in the air will exceed the national standard. However, by keeping good ventilation, the contents of CO,NO,PM 10 and PM 2.5 in the air can be controlled within safe ranges.
