Studies on nanoprotein vaccine alleviating symptoms of mice allergic to rFel d 1 by Yanqi Mai, Xiaozheng Sun, Xiaoxuan Liu, Huricha Chen, Xinglan Liang, Ying Huang, Xiaojuan Wu, Shuangshuang Wei, Shuangshuang Wei, Dayong Wang, Dayong Wang, Yechun Pei, Yechun Pei

“…We utilized a mouse model sensitized with purified rFel d 1 and then immunized them subcutaneously with LDH nanoparticles loaded with PADRE-rFel d 1.ResultsOur results indicated that this nanoparticle vaccine effectively restored the balance of Th1/Th2 and Th17/ Treg cells, which led to a reduction in inflammatory cell infiltration, mitigated local and systemic stress responses induced by rFel d 1, decreased airway hyperresponsiveness, and lowered serum IgE levels.DiscussionConsequently, the LDH loaded with PADRE-rFel d 1 vaccine shows promise as an effective treatment for cat allergies.…”

Hesperidin-β-Cyclodextrin inclusion complexes: A novel approach for preventing and treating acute lung injury caused by seawater drowning by Jingjing Hou, Mengdi Zhang, Zheyi Han, Wanmei Wang, Haiying Qiu, Jingwei Yuan, Fang An, Yan Wu

“…The administration of Hep-β-CD via the pulmonary route has been found to be highly effective in preventing seawater drowning-induced ALI in mice, achieved through modulation of key inflammatory mediators and a reduction in oxidative stress. The study demonstrated that Hep-β-CD administration significantly decreased the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α) and Interleukin-6 (IL-6), which are known to contribute to the pathogenesis of ALI. …”
