Chinese Journal of Biologicals 2023;36(11):1297-1300+1305
Objective To collaboratively calibrate and finally assign the potency of the 9th national standard for human rabies vaccine for candidate.Methods Qualified laboratories for the production,research and development of human rabies vaccines were organized to determine the potency of candidate national standard for rabies vaccines by using NIH method,with the 7th international standard for rabies vaccines(NIBSC code:16/204)as the reference standard. The detection results were statistically analyzed,and the geometric mean of effective detection values was taken as the final potency value of the candidate standard. According to the requirements of the preparation of national drug reference materials,the candidate standard was destroyed by heat acceleration,and then detected for the glycoprotein antigen to investigate the stability.Results A total of 20 laboratories participated in the collaborative calibration,of which the two laboratories that did not strictly follow the collaborative calibration SOP were excluded,and the data of the remaining collaborative laboratories were valid. After statistical analysis,the final potency of the 9th national standard for rabies vaccine was 11. 4 IU/mL,the 95% confidence limit was 10. 9~11. 9 IU/mL,and the 95% reference range of ED_(50) was 2. 10~2. 75. There was no significant difference in the results of glycoprotein antigen detection under different time conditions(2,4,8 and 16 weeks)at 37 ℃.Conclusion The collaborative calibration research of the 9th national standard for human rabies vaccine(batch number:201906001)has been completed,the potency assignment is scientific and rigorous,the data was reliable,and the thermal stability meets the requirements. At present,this standard has been approved by the National Drug Reference Material Committee,which is of great significance to the quality control of human rabies vaccine,especially the quality control of effectiveness.

Objective To compare the clinical results of radial head resection with those of open reduction and internal fixation in treatment of Mason type- Ⅲ comminuted fracture of radial head. Methods 58 cases of Mason type- Ⅲ radial head fracture were treated in our department from January, 1983 to July, 2005. 28 cases had resection of the fractured redial head, while the other 30 cases had open reduction and internal fixation. The outcomes were assessed on the basis of pain, motion, strength, radiographic findings, and elbow functional rating score. Results The resection group had a mean follow- up of 5.5 years (2 to 6), while the internal fixation group had 10 years (3 to 13). The average pain VAS (visual analog scale) score was 18.7 (11 to 25) for the resection group and 23.5 (17 to 25) for the fixation group with a P value of 0.0023. The elbow extension averaged - 12.4? in the resection group and - 5.8? in the fixation group (P0.05) , but the decrease of elbow extension and forearm rotation differed statistically between the 2 groups (P

Innate immune cells have a critical role in defense against infections and diseases.Central to this is the broad specificity with which they can detect pathogen-associated patterns and danger-associated patterns via the pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) they express.TLR is one of the most largely studied families of PRRs.Activation of TLR promotes both innate inflammatory responses and the induction of adaptive immunity.Given the characteristics of TLR,various Toll like receptor agonists are used in vaccine design to accelerate the immune response and produce long-lasting protection.

Objective To study a improved technique by releasing the orbicularis retaining ligament in orbicularis oculi muscle supension blepharoplasty. Release of the orbicularis retaining ligament could cut off the contact between orbitomalar skin and periosteum at inferior orbital rim, and carry the point of tightening orbitomalar skin in orbicularis oculi muscle supension blepharoplasty. Methods There were 409 patients with apparent orbitmalar fold. The methods of releasing orbicularis retaining ligament and orbital septum fixation were added to improve the orbicularis oculi muscle supension blepharoplasty. Results 409 cases were treated using this method over the past 3 years. All results were satisfactory. No complications were observed. Conclusion This improved method of orbicularis oculi muscle supension blepharoplasty is useful for orbitomalar skin rolling, especially for orbitmalar fold. The release allows effective redraping and upward mobilization of the orbicularis of the lower lid and the premalar soft tissues. This method is a simple, safe and effective procedure for the correction of tear trough deformity and well-demarcated lid/cheek junction in lower eyelid belpharoplasty. It is one of the best choices for lower eyelid blepharoplasty.
