Particle size and surface properties are crucial for lymphatic drainage (LN), dendritic cell (DC) uptake, DC maturation, and antigen cross-presentation induced by nanovaccine injection, which lead to an effective cell-mediated immune response. However, the manner in which the particle size and surface properties of vaccine carriers such as mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) affect this immune response is unknown. We prepared 50, 100, and 200 nm of MSNs that adsorbed ovalbumin antigen (OVA) while modifying β-glucan to enhance immunogenicity. The results revealed that these MSNs with different particle sizes were just as efficient in vitro, and MSNs with β-glucan modification demonstrated higher efficacy. However, the in vivo results indicated that MSNs with smaller particle sizes have stronger lymphatic targeting efficiency and a greater ability to promote the maturation of DCs. The results also indicate that β-glucan-modified MSN, with a particle size of ∼100 nm, has a great potential as a vaccine delivery vehicle and immune adjuvant and offers a novel approach for the delivery of multiple therapeutic agents that target other lymph-mediated diseases.

Objective:To evaluate the arousal effect of plantar reflex area and acupoint massage combined with music therapy in patients with brain trauma and coma.Methods:From March 2022 to March 2023, 90 patients with brain trauma and coma who were treated in the Neurosurgery Intensive Care Unit of Tangshan Gongren Hospital in Hebei Province were selected as the research subject. According to the random number table method, patients were divided into a control group, experimental group 1, and experimental group 2, with 30 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing for brain trauma, while the experimental group 1 received music therapy with the natural voice on the basis of the control group. The experimental group 2 was treated with plantar reflex area and acupoint massage treatment on the basis of the experimental group 1. This study compared the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores and Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) scores of three groups of patients before and after intervention.Results:After 2, 4, and 6 weeks of intervention, the GCS scores and CRS-R scores of patients in experimental group 2 were higher than those in the control group and experimental group 1, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The combination of plantar reflex area and acupoint massage with music therapy has a certain arousal effect on patients with brain trauma and coma, and can be promoted and applied in clinical practice.
