Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2020;27(8):1021-1024
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common disease of the respiratory system, and pulmonary rehabilitation can restore lung function to a certain extent.However, extracorporeal diaphragmatic pacing technology is a pulmonary rehabilitation method to alleviate the progress of COPD studied in China, and has achieved certain results at present.This manuscript reviewed the research progress of therapeutic effect of extracorporeal diaphragm pacing on pulmonary rehabilitation of patients with COPD.

Objective To construct a universal influenza mRNA vaccine and evaluate its immunogenicity.Methods The antigen sequence of hemagglutinin(HA),nucleoprotein(NP)and matrix protein 2 ectodomain(M2e)in influenza A/California/04/2009 was optimized.HA,NP and 3 tandem M2e(3M2e)were cloned into pcDNA3.1 vector,respectively.Then the mRNAs were synthesized by linearization,in vitro transcription,enzymatic capping and enzymatic tailing,and named as mRNA-HA,mRNA-NP and mRNA-3M2e,respectively.The protein expression of the 3 kinds of mRNAs in 293T cells was detected by immunofluorescence assay.Comb-mRNA vaccine was prepared by enveloped mRNA-HA,mRNA-NP and mRNA-3M2e with lipid nanoparticles,respectively,and the particle size and potential were identified.Twenty-eight 6-week-old female BALB/c mice(18~22 g)were randomly divided into LNP group(n=14)and Comb-mRNA group(n=14).Hemagglutination inhibition(HI)method and microneutralization(MN)test were used to evaluate the serum antibody titer induced by Comb-mRNA vaccines.The mice were infected by 5LD50 wild-type H1 N1 influenza virus to evaluate the protective efficacy.Results The mRNA-HA,mRNA-NP and mRNA-3M2e were successfully constructed,and the 3 mRNAs could be expressed in 293T cells.The average size of mRNA encapsulated by lipid nanoparticles was 119.53±6.5 nm,and the average potential was-8.23±1.3 mV.The geometric mean titer(GMT)of HI and MN in the Comb-mRNA group were 179.6 and 201.6,compared with the LNP group.The ratio of IFN-γ+CD4+/CD8+Tcells was increased.The Comb-mRNA group could provide protection against 5LD50 wild type influenza H1 N1 virus after 2 weeks of booster immunization.Conclusion Comb-mRNA,an influenza vaccine candidate,can induce immune responses and protect mice from influenza virus challenge.
