【Objective】 To explore the effectiveness and safety of polyglycolic acid (PGA) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) composite materials in distal pancreatectomy postoperative suturing. 【Methods】 We selected 36 healthy adult beagles and divided them randomly into observation group and control group, with 18 distal pancreatectomy surgeries in each group. The observation group used PGA+HPMC composite materials for incision reinforcement while the control group used NEOVEIL for incision reinforcement. 3 days before surgery, 3 days after surgery, and before dissection, blood routine tests were performed on each group of experimental dogs. Observation periods of 2-week, 4-week and 8-week were set, and six animals at each observation point were evaluated for histological examination of heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney tissues, hard tissue slice pathological diagnosis, and safety evaluation. 【Results】 There was no significant difference between the observation group and the control group in the preoperative blood routine test. Repeated measures ANOVA results showed differences in the mean values of white blood cell count (WBC) ( F=14.875, P=0.001), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) (F=5.049,P=0.009), neutrophil percentage (Neu%) (F=4.794, P=0.011), red blood cell count (RBC) (F=6.591, P=0.002), hemoglobin (HGB) (F=8.154, P=0.001), hematocrit (HCT) (F=5.281, P=0.007), platelet count (PLT) (F=6.560, P=0.014), red blood cell distribution width coefficient of variation (RDW-CV) (F=33.950, P=0.039), or lymphocyte percentage (Lym%) (F=3.299, P=0.043) at different time points. However, the observation group and the control group did not differ, and the interaction between time and group had no significant effect on the above indicators, suggesting that both groups of dogs had inflammatory response or surgical stress. For the 8-week postoperative hard tissue pathological section score, there was no significant difference between the observation group and the control group in the inflammation and necrosis related score, fibrosis, repair or other related scores and total score (P>0.05). In the dissection at 8 weeks after surgery, no obvious damage to the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, or other organs was found in both groups, nor was there any residual suture material, pancreatic fistula, or pancreatitis, indicating that the suture materials in both groups had been completely absorbed and metabolized, and the incision healed well without causing adverse effects on the visceral organs. 【Conclusion】 PGA and HPMC are effective and safe postoperative suture materials, with good biodegradability, biocompatibility, suture strength, and wound healing quality. They can be comparable to traditional absorbable reinforcement materials in distal pancreatectomy postoperative suturing, thus providing scientific basis for their clinical application.

Inducing durable and effective immunity against severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) via vaccination is essential to combat the current pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). It has been noticed that the strength of anti-COVID-19 vaccination-induced immunity fades over time, which calls for an additional vaccination regime, as known as booster immunization, to restore immunity among previously vaccinated populations. Here we report a pilot open-label trial of a third dose of BBIBP-CorV, an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine (Vero cell), on 136 participants aged between 18 to 63 years. Safety and immunogenicity in terms of neutralizing antibody titers and cytokine/chemokine responses were analyzed as the main endpoint until day 28. While systemic reactogenicity was either absent or mild, SARS-CoV-2-specific neutralizing antibody titers rapidly arose in all participants within 4 weeks, surpassing the peak antibody titers elicited by the initial two-dose immunization regime. Broad increases of cellular immunity-associated cytokines and chemokines were also detected in the majority of participants after the third vaccination. Furthermore, in an exploratory study, a newly developed recombinant protein vaccine, NVSI-06-08 (CHO Cells), was found to be safe and even more effective than BBIBP-CorV in eliciting humoral immune responses in BBIBP-CorV-primed individuals. Together, these results indicate that a third immunization schedule with either homologous or heterologous vaccine showed favorable safety profiles and restored potent SARS-CoV-2-specific immunity, providing support for further trials of booster vaccination in larger populations.

Objective To evaluate the adjuvant activities of cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate ( cGAMP) in enhancing humoral and cellular responses against Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori) . Methods BALB/c mice were immunized with the protein antigens including UreA, UreB and NapA of H. pylori in combination with cGAMP as the adjuvant on 0 d and 14 d by subcutaneous administra-tion. Then, the serum-specific antibody responses were evaluated by ELISA. Flow cytometry ( FCM) and enzyme-linked immunospot assay ( ELISpot) were used to detect the cellular immune responses occurred in spleen and mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN). Results Subcutaneous administration of protein antigens of H. pylori together with cGAMP induced strong humoral and cellular immune responses in BALB/c mice. The levels of serum-specific IgG antibodies induced by adding cGAMP as the adjuvant were significantly higher than those by immunizing with antigens alone. The levels of splenic IFN-γ-producing lymphocytes in re-sponse to H. pylori antigens and cGAMP immunization were significantly higher than those in the correspond-ing groups without using cGAMP. Conclusion By using cGAMP as an adjuvant, H. pylori antigens could elicit significantly stronger humoral and cellular immune responses in mice than those induced by the anti-gens only. As a stable small molecular compound with strong adjuvant activity, cGAMP has the potential to be used for the development of H. pylori vaccine.
