With the rapid advancement of vaccines, the research and application of vaccine adjuvants have garnered significant attention. Despite the development of numerous vaccine adjuvants, their applications in human vaccines remain limited due to either insufficient efficacy or severe side effects. Consequently, there is growing interest in developing bioactive compounds derived from traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) as vaccine adjuvants, owing to their natural biocompatibility, diversity, and safety. Here, we systematically review the current application status and potential value of TCM-based bioactive compounds in vaccine adjuvants. Firstly, we elaborate on the types and characteristics of active ingredients, such as polysaccharides, saponins, flavonoids, acids, and alkaloids. The mechanisms by which these compounds function as vaccine adjuvants are then discussed, including their roles in enhancing humoral immunity, cellular immunity, and relieving the immune suppression in the microenvironment. Additionally, we summarize the current strategies for structural modification and platform optimization to adapt to different application scenarios. Finally, we offer insights into the future development directions for these potential adjuvants, highlighting research priorities, technical approaches, and application prospects. In conclusion, natural vaccine adjuvants derived from TCMs present broad application prospects and hold promise for future vaccine development.

Objective Aiming to develop a distance-adaptive visual function self-examination system based on tablet computers and evaluate its accuracy.Methods Utilizing ArUco technology on a tablet device equipped with the camera,a system was developed to assess visual functions by identifying QR codes within a 2-meters range for real-time ranging.This system integrates various visual function tests,including visual acuity test(conventional visual acuity test and high-pass visual acuity test with varying contrasts),accommodative amplitude test,and visual field test at the foveal(5°).A total of 22 healthy subjects(44 eyes)participated in visual function assessments,with 6 subjects undergoing visual acuity tests at varying distances(1 m,1.25 m,1.6 m,2 m)and accommodative amplitude tests under both refractive correction and simulated undercorrection of-3.00D.The program distance and actual distance were compared,the consistency of visual acuity outcomes for identical optotype at different distances were assessed,the accommodative amplitude under refractive correction and undercorrection were analyzed,the repeatability of accommodative amplitude outcomes was evaluated using Intraclass Correlation Coefficient(ICC),and the contrast threshold and efficacy of visual field test outcomes were analyzed.Results The program distance and actual distance showed good agreement.High-pass visual acuity tests with the same contrast showed no significant differences at different distances(P?>?0.05),while conventional visual acuity tests showed significant differences at distances of 0.9 to 1.1 meters compared to other distances(P?

It aims to provide the clinicians and vaccination professionals with guidelines on using rBS/WC vaccine to reduce the incidence of ETEC infectious diarrhea.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and effectiveness of early ambulation program for patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods:From December 2020 to July 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 134 patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy in the First Medical Center of People's Liberation Army General Hospital as the research object. The patients in Ward A were set as the experimental group, and the patients in Ward B were set as the control group, with 67 cases in each group. The patients in the control group were given routine perioperative nursing, and the patients in the experimental group were given an early ambulation program after pancreaticoduodenectomy on the basis of routine perioperative nursing. The completion of the activity goals of the patients in the experimental group was observed. The completion rate of ambulation on the first day after operation, activity distance one to three days after operation, pain and dizziness during activity, time of first exhaust and defecation after operation, abdominal distention and activity-associated adverse events three days after operation were observed in the two groups of patients.Results:The compliance rates of ambulation on the first to third days in the experimental group were 100.00%, 88.06%, and 92.54%, respectively, and there was no statistical difference in the daily ambulation compliance rate between laparoscopic surgery patients and laparotomy patients ( P>0.05) . In the experimental group, the completion rate of ambulation of the patients on the first day after operation was higher than that in the control group. On the second, third and first to third days after operation, the activity distances were more than those of the control group. The time of first exhaust and defecation after operation were lower than those of the control group, and the abdominal distension score three days after operation was lower than that of the control group, the above differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The pain and dizziness scores of the experimental group when ambulation for the first time were lower than those of the control group, but the difference was not statistical ( P>0.05) . There were no adverse events in the two groups of patients during the early postoperative ambulation. Conclusions:The early ambulation program for patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy is feasible and effective, which provides a basis and method for medical and nursing staff to evaluate and guide patients with early ambulation after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Objective To investigate the relationship between nutritional risk status and implementation of nutrition therapy in mechanical ventilated (MV) chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, so as to provide evidence for individualized nutrition therapy. Methods A prospective multicenter observational study was conducted. MV COPD patients admitted to Department of Intensive Care Units (ICU) of 10 County Hospitals in Zhejiang Province from January 2015 to January 2016 were enrolled, and according to nutrition risk screening 2002 (NRS2002) score, they were divided into nutritional high risk group (NRS2002 3-5) and nutritional extremely high risk group (NRS2002 6-7). Nutrition therapy situation and hospital mortality were compared between the two groups; multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with COPD under mechanical ventilation. Kaplan-Meier curve was used to analyze the prognosis at 30 days; receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to test the robustness of multivariable regression analysis. Results ① One hundred and six COPD patients with MV were analyzed; among them, 90 patients were in the nutritional high risk group, and 16 were in the nutritional extremely high risk group. There were no significant differences in age, gender and body mass index (BMI) between the two groups (all P > 0.05); the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) score, NRS2002 score in patients of nutrition risk extremely high group were obviously higher than that in patients with nutrition high risk group (APACHEⅡ: 24.9±6.1 vs. 20.3±5.8, NRS2002 score: 6.3±0.5 vs. 4.2±0.8, both P < 0.05). ② Patients in both groups received early enteral nutrition (EN) therapy, the proportion of patients in nutritional extremely high risk group received early EN was lower than that of patients in the nutritional high risk group [12.5% (2/16) vs. 17.7% (16/90)], along with the prolongation of hospital stay, the proportions of patients beginning to receive the EN were gradually increased in the nutrition extremely high risk group and high risk group, after 2 days the EN increased significantly, and reached the highest value on day 6 after entering ICU [100.0% (16/16), 98.9% (89/90), respectively]; within 3 days after admission into ICU, the proportion of EN in nutrition extremely high risk group was obviously lower than that in nutrition high risk group, and from day 4, there was no statistical significant difference in proportion of EN between the two groups (all P > 0.05). The time to start parenteral nutrition (PN) treatment was relatively early admission to the ICU on day 1 and the proportion of this therapy was high in the two groups [56.2% (9/16), 27.7% (25/90), respectively], the PN proportion did not decrease with the length of hospitalization and the increase of EN. The proportion of patients in the nutrition extremely high risk group who started PN treatment was higher, which reached 56.2% admission to the ICU on day 1.③ With extension of hospital stay, the calories of EN were gradually increased in the nutritional high risk group, the highest calories in nutritional high risk groups was 4 318 (3 912, 4 812) kJ/d at day 7; while the highest calories in nutritional extremely high risk groups was 3 602 (2 167, 4 615) kJ/d at day 6 and a slight decreased at day 7; the difference of calories within the first week between the two groups had no significance (all P > 0.05). The calorific value of PN therapy remained at a constant level during hospitalization within 7 days, and after admission into ICU for 4-5 days, the target range of calories was achieved. ④ Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that the mortality at 30 days in the extremely high risk group was significantly higher than that in the high risk group [62.5% (10/16) vs. 11.1% (10/90), χ2 = 15.4, P < 0.01]. ⑤ Multiple cox-regression analysis showed that NRS2002 scoring was the independent risk factor affecting the mortality of patients in hospital [odds ratio (OR) = 2.08, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.39-3.12, P = 0.005]. ⑥ ROC curve analysis: according to ROC curve analysis of the effectiveness of multi-factor regression model, area under ROC curve (AUC) was 0.79, sensitivity was 70.00%, specificity was 74.42%, positive likelihood ratio was 2.74, negative likelihood ratio was 0.40, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 0.702-0.864, P = 0.001, and it showed that the regression model had a good prediction effect. Conclusions MV COPD patients have significant nutritional risk and all receive early EN therapy. The proportion of beginning to use PN treatment in patients with nutritional extremely high risk is relatively high. Initial nutritional status is the independent risk factor of poor prognosis in MV patients with COPD.

Objective To detect the levels of procalcitonin in multiple genes autoinflammatory disease (adult Still disease,systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis,crohn's Crohn's disease),and to explore the relationship between erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR),C-reactive protein (CRP),ESR/CRP and disease or complicated infection combined disease.Methods One hundred and fifty-three patients were en-rolled,88 patients with multiple genes autoinflammatory disease,including 32 cases of adult Still disease,27 cases of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis,29 cases of Crohn's disease.In addition,30 cases of healthy controls,35 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were included into this study.Electroche-miluminescence was used to test the value of serum PCT,erythrocyte sedimentation rate was tested by blood sedimentation instrument method,the CRP level was tested by lmmunoturbidimetry,and the data was handed managed and analysised by matlab software and One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the differences of PCTs between groups.Results ① In the non-infection condition,the PCT value of the autoimmune inflammatory diseases [(0.36±0.74) μg/L,95％confidence interval (CI) (0.174 9,0.550 9) μg/L)] was signifieantly higher than that of the healthy control group [(0.06±0.06) μg/L,95％CI (0.035 1,0.081 7 μg/L)],the difference was statistically significant (F=5.03,P=0.027 4),but there was no statistically significant (F=1.03,P=0.475 5) when comparing with SLE group.② The PCT level of the non-infected inflammatory enteric arthritis [(0.20±0.32),95％CI(0.042 7,0.364 3) μg/L] was different compared with the healthy group,the difference was statistically significant (F=5.77,P=0.020 4),at the same time,the difference was not statistically significant when comparing with the SLE group (F=0.22,P=0.647 6).When the PCT value in non-infected adults Still disease [(0.60±1.02) 95％CI(0.048 4,1.153 6) μg/L] compared with the healthy group,the difference was statistically significant (F=7.22,P=0.01) but the difference was not statistically different when compared with the SLE group (F=2.65,P=0.114 3).The PCT level difference was statistically significant (F=2.23,P＜0.01)when comparing infection-free juvenile idiopathic arthritis [(1.52±2.02) μg/L,95％CI(0.054 8,4.591 9) μg/L] and the healthy group,the difference was statistically significantly different (F=8.34,P=0.004 7) when compared with the PCT of the non-infected SLE group.③ In the case of autoinflammatory diseases without infection,the 95％CI of ESR/CRP ratio was between 1.121 2 and 3.589 4.In the case of co-infection,the 95％ CI of ESR/CRP ratio was between 1.502 2 and 8.718 8,so we considered autoimmune inflammatory diseases might had a high possibility of co-infection when the ESR/CRP ratio was higher than 3.5.Conclusion ① The multiple genes autoinflammatory disease group has a higher value of PCT level than healthy controls even without infection.② The mean and 95％CI range of PCT of the inflammatory bowel disease arthritis,adult Still disease and the juvenile id-iopathic arthritis is significantly higher than the healthy controls,partially higher than SLE group.In addition,the PCT level in the juvenile idiopathic arthritis is the highest.③ In clinical,to estimate whether the multiple genes autoinflammatory disease has bacterial infection,we can't just simply rely on PCT to estimate whether the multiple genes autoinflammatory disease has bacterial infection,we may consider the ratio of the ESR/CRP,when the value is higher than 3.5,we may consider patients has strong probability with infection.

Objective To discuss the clinical effects of different energy densities of enteral nutrition (EN) preparations on mechanical ventilation (MV) patients with acute severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI). Methods Sixty MV patients with acute sTBI admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Hangzhou Xiaoshan District First People's Hospital from July 2015 to December 2017 were divided into two groups according to different energy densities of nutritional preparations. Thirty patients of the control group were given nasal feeding with standard energy density EN (energy density 3.35 - 4.19 kJ/mL) and 30 patients of the observation group were given nasal feeding with relatively higher energy density (energy density 5.44 - 6.28 kJ/mL). The indexes of nutritional status between the two groups before and after treatment were compared: including prealbumin (PA), albumin (Alb), globulin (Glo), hemoglobin (Hb), 5-day and 1-week heat calorie compliance rates of reaching target calories, MV time and incidence of complications. Results There were no statistically significant differences in nutritional indicators before treatment between the two groups (all P > 0.05). The compliance rates of reaching target calories of the observation group on the 5 and 7 days after treatment were significantly higher than those in the control group [5 days: 66.67% (20/30) vs. 50.00% (15/30), 1 week: 81.33% (25/30) vs. 70.00% (21/30), both P < 0.05], and the MV time was significantly lower than that in the control group (hours: 92.48±12.04 vs. 128.88±16.29, P < 0.05); the levels of PA, Alb, Hb, Glo were significantly higher in the observation group than those in control group on the 21st day after treatment [PA (g/L): 0.28±0.11 vs. 0.15±0.04, Alb (g/L): 36.52±5.79 vs. 29.63±2.74, Hb (g/L): 92.40±9.50 vs. 81.10±8.60, Glo (g/L): 24.42±1.73 vs. 18.19±3.59, all P < 0.05]. Complications: the total incidence of abdominal distension, diarrhea and constipation of the observation group was 36.6% (11/30), while that of the control group was 66.7% (20/30), the difference between the two groups being statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion High energy density enteral nutrition can improve the nutritional status of the organisms of MV patients with acute sTBI, reduce the time of MV and the incidence of complications, thus it is worthy to be widely applied clinically.

Objective To study the effect of Jade -Screen Powder (JSP)on regulating expression of 5 microRNAs associated with helper T cells in asthmatic mouse model.Methods Forty Balb /c mice were randomly di-vided into 4 groups,1 0 mice for each group,namely normal control,asthma model,JSP treatment and Dexamethasone treatment.The mouse models of allergic inflammation on both upper and lower airways were established by ovalbumin sensitization and challenge.Interleukin(IL)-1 3 and IL -1 7 expressions were detected from lung homogenates by ELISA.Hematoxylin and eosin staining was also performed to observe the pathological changes in the lung tissue.The expressions of miR -1 46a,miR -1 46b,miR -21 0,miR -1 26 and miR -21 a were detected by quantitative real time PCR from splenocytes.Results The lower levels of IL -1 3 [(6.382 ±1 .690)μg/L]and IL -1 7 [(24.21 2 ± 1 .250)μg/L]were found in JSP treatment group compared with those in the asthma model group [(20.1 54 ±7.960)μg/L;(50.31 2 ±5.770)μg/L,rseparately],there was significant difference in IL -1 3 between JSP group and the asthma model group,as well as IL -1 7 (t =3.785,P =0.005;t =9.891 ,P =0.000).Same findings were found in Dexamethasone treated group as well [IL -1 3:(9.366 ±3.460)μg/L,IL -1 7:(29.1 32 ±4.960)μg/L;t =2.779, P =0.024;t =6.225,P =0.000].However,upregulation of miR -21 0 was observed in JSP treatment group (2.052 ± 0.871 )compared with that in the asthma model group (4.034 ±1 .379)(3.95 folds,t =2.71 8,P =0.026).Mean-time,the expression of miR -1 26 in JSP group (4.920 ±0.924)and Dexamethasone group (3.862 ±1 .51 0)in-creased compared with asthma model group (6.024 ±0.447)(2.1 5 folds,t =2.405,P =0.043,and 4.48 folds,t =-3.069,P =0.01 5).Conclusions Th2 and Th1 7 T cells participate in the pathogenesis of asthma and the asthmatic process can be inhibited by JSP.JSP may affect the helper T cells by regulating miR -21 0 and miR -1 26.
