Dendritic cell-based cancer vaccines (DC vaccines) have been proved efficient and safe in immunotherapy of various cancers, including melanoma, ovarian and prostate cancer. However, the clinical responses were not always satisfied. Here we proposed a novel strategy to prepare DC vaccines. In the present study, a fusion protein SNU containing a secretin-penetratin (SecPen) peptide, NY-ESO-1 and ubiquitin was designed and expressed. To establish the DC vaccine (DC-SNU), the mouse bone marrow-derived DCs (BMDCs) were isolated, pulsed with SNU and maturated with cytokine cocktail. Then peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from C57BL/6 mice inoculated intraperitoneally with DC-SNU were separated and cocultured with MC38/MC38

Objective:To compare the histologic features of immune-mediated hepatitis (IMH) due to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) monotherapy and combined ICIs anti-angiogenesis tyrosine kinases (TKIs) targeted therapy.Methods:Twenty-one IMH patients who had liver biopsy during ICIs treatment in Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University from 2015 to 2019 were included. Among them, ten were treated with ICIs monotherapy, and 11 were treated with combined ICIs and anti-angiogenesis targeted therapy. The histologic features of IMH were assessed by HE staining and PD-L1/2 was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining.Results:Patients treated with monotherapy ICIs presented with different levels of lobular hepatitis and portal inflammation. Besides, there were also cholangitis, endothelialitis, Kupffer cells activation and peliosisi hepatitis. Eight cases (8/10) showed mild and two cases (2/10) showed moderate hepatic injury. As for patients receiving combined ICIs and TKIs therapy, the extent of IMH was more severe, with four cases (4/11) showing moderate-severe liver injury, with confluent or bridging necrosis, portal inflammation, cholangitis, interface hepatitis. Among these, one patient developed acute severe hepatitis with massive hepatocyte necrosis and died of multisystem dysfunction. In those cases with severe liver injury, many CD8 positive lymphocytes aggregated in the portal area and hepatic sinusoid, and PD-L1 was expressed in many endothelial cells. There were both 2 cases of death in ICIs monotherapy and combination therapy group. Among the latter group, 1 patient developed acute severe hepatitis with massive hepatocyte necrosis and died of multisystem dysfunction.Conclusion:Compared with ICIs monotherapy, combined ICIs and anti-angiogenesis targeted TKIs therapy may cause overlapping hepatic injury, leading to severe IMH.

Objective To analyze the results of assessment of malaria elimination in 9 counties (districts) of Nanchang City, and explore suitable monitoring methods for malaria after elimination of the disease in this region. Methods In 2016, the data from the network reports of malaria epidemic situation, blood examinations of febrile patients, epidemiological questionnaires of local malaria cases, investigation of epidemic focuses and disposal tables were collected and analyzed in Nanchang City from 2010 to 2015. The data of malaria elimination assessment at county ( district ) level of Donghu District , Xihu District , Qingshanhu District and Wanli District in 2013 , Nanchang County and Anyi County in 2014, Jinxian County, Qingyunpu District and Xinjian District in 2015 were collected. At same time, the data of ability of the diagnosis and treatment of malaria in clinicians, the microscopical examinations of Plasmodium in the inspection personnel were collected . Totally 30 negative blood slides and all positive blood slides since 2010 were reviewed. Results From 2010 to 2015, 93 local malaria cases were reported in Nanchang City, the majority of malaria cases were imported except 2 local malaria infection cases in 2010. Totally 64027 febrile patients received blood detections for malaria, of which 101 cases were positive and the positive rate was 0.16％. The positive blood slides review rate was 100.00％ (101/101), the negative blood slides review rate was 9.69％ (6195/63926). 9 counties (districts) all passed the malaria elimination assessment at county ( district ) level . The malaria elimination assessment scores of the 9 counties (districts) were all higher than 90 points. The correct rate of inspection personnel of microscopical examinations of Plasmodium was 91.58％ (174/190), the correct rate of knowledge of the diagnosis and treatment of malaria was 95.00％ (1710/1800), the coincidence rate of blood slides review was 100 . 00％( 304/304 ) in Nanchang , the qualified rate of slides production and dyeing was 88.16％ (268/304). Conclusions All the 9 counties (districts) of Nanchang City have passed the malaria elimination assessment with high scores. After malaria elimination, the monitoring should continue to consolidate the achievements.

Objective To explore the correlation between pregnancy-related anxiety and serum 25 (OH)D level during early pregnancy. Methods A radioimmunoassay was used to determine the serum 25 (OH)D levels of 2 122 early pregnant women in Maanshan Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital, from June 2015 to 2016. Data were collected using a questionnaire. Results The mean serum 25(OH)D level was(29.71±32.27)nmol/L.About 15.2% of the subjects had adequate,22.6% had insufficient,45.1% had deficient,and 17.1% had severely deficient serum 25(OH)D levels.The type of housing and testing seasons were significantly associated with the serum 25(OH)D level.Single factor logistic regression analysis results show that pregnancy-related anxiety incidence in the group deficient in 25(OH)D was higher than that in the adequate group, which has a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). After adjusting for the maternal age,BMI,and educational level,multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion The serum 25(OH)D level in early pregnant women was inadequate. Furthermore, lack of serum 25(OH)D in early pregnancy and pregnancy-related anxiety were negatively correlated.

Objective To evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of one booster dose of inactivated hepatitis A vaccine in young adults.Methods The subjects were selected from participants in the clinical trial of immunogenicity of inactivated and attenuated live hepatitis A vaccine in young adults.Eligible subjects were those who had received one dose of inactivated or attenuated hepatitis A vaccine,could be contacted and were sero-negative before primary vaccination.All qualified subjects were immunized with one booster dose of inactivated hepatitis A vaccine.The blood samples were collected before booster dose vaccination and 28 days after the immunization.Anti-HAV antibody titer ≥20 mIU/ml was considered to be sero-protected against hepatitis A virus.Results The GMCs in the inactivated HAV vaccine group and attenuated live vaccine group before booster dose vaccination were 70.80 mIU/ml and 50.12 mIU/ml,respectively,and the sero-protection rates were 94.7％ and 65.0％,respectively.After the vaccination of the booster dose,the sero-protection rates in both groups were 100.0％,and the GMCs were 2 816.09 mIU/ml and 2 654.55 mIU/ml,respectively.Conclusion The GMCs and sero-protection rates of anti-HAV antibody in young adults declined after three years of the primary vaccination.However,the higher GMC and sero-protection rate were observed in the inactivated vaccine group than in the attenuated live vaccine group.Significant increases of GMC levels were observed in both groups after one booster dose vaccination.

Objective To understand and analyze the infection status of human parasites in Nanchang City, so as to offer a scientific basis for control of parasitic disease. Methods In 2014, a survey was performed according to the scheme of The 3rd National Survey of Principal Human Parasites. Intestinal parasites were surveyed among the residents in Jinxian County and Anyi County, Qingyunpu District and Qingshanhu District in Nanchang City, including the soil-transmitted nematodes (Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura and hookworm), Enterobius vermicularis, tapeworm and intestinal protozoa. Clonorchis sinensis was surveyed among the residents in Qingyunpu District and Qingshanhu District. Toxoplasma gondii was surveyed among the residents in two rural areas (Nanchang County and Xinjian County) and two urban areas (Donghu District and Xihu District). The ovums of the soil-transmitted nematodes, Clonorchis sinensis , tapeworm and other helminths were examined by the Kato-Katz, while Enterobius vermicularis among children was examined by cellophane anal swab, trophozoites and cysts of intestinal protozoa by saline smearing and iodine smearing , and IgG antibodies of Toxoplasma gondii by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results Intestinal parasites were surveyed among 2424 residents in the whole city, in which 2414 residents were tested for the infection of soil-transmitted nematodes and tapeworm;1875 residents were tested for intestinal protozoa infection;74 children were tested for eggs of Enterobius vermicularis; 539 residents were tested for Clonorchis sinensis; and 2400 residents were tested for Toxoplasma gondii. Six kinds of intestinal parasites were found citywide, with a total infection rate of 9.49% (230/2424). The infection rate of soil-transmitted nematodes was 8 . 70% ( 210/2414 ) , in which the infection rate of Ascaris lumbricoides was 0.04% (1/2414), the rate of Trichuris trichiura was 0.91% (22/2414), and of hookworm was 7.83%(189/2414). The infection rate among 3 - 6 years old children of Enterobius vermicularis was 22.97% ( 17/74 ) . Tapeworm and Clonorchis sinensis were not found . The infection rate of intestinal protozoa was 0.21%(4/1875). The positive rate of Toxoplasma gondii's IgG antibody was 5.17% (124/2400). Conclusions In Nanchang City, the infection rate of soil-transmitted nematodes (Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura) and intestinal protozoa was lower. However, the infection rates of hookworm, Toxoplasma gondii and Enterobius vermicularis among 3 - 6 years old children are increasing in local areas. That should be the focus in prevention and control of parasitic disease in the future.
