Background: The 4-dose Essen intramuscular (IM) regimen for rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) has been recommended by Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and World Health Organization (WHO), but the large-sample clinical evidence is still limited.
Method: Rabies virus neutralizing antibodies of 11,752 patients were detected from 409 rabies prevention clinics in 27 provinces in China. Patients with serum collected before or no later than 1 h after injection on the day of the fifth dose (day 28) of 5-dose Essen regimen were included in Group A to observe the immune efficacy of 4-dose Essen IM regimen, and patients with serum collected 14-28 days after injection of the fifth dose were included in Group B to observe the immune efficacy of 5-dose Essen IM regimen.
Aims: This study investigated the protective effect of Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) on intestinal barrier and the mechanism in the context of acute severe inflammation.
Materials And Methods: In this study, mice received lipopolysaccharide (LPS) intraperitoneal injection with or without EcN administration to construct a mouse model of endotoxemia. Clinical scores, intestinal permeability, inflammatory cytokines and histopathological analysis of four main organs from different groups were assessed.
Aims: The present study investigated the effect of Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) on irinotecan-induced intestinal barrier dysfunction and gut microbial dysbiosis in a mouse model and in the human colonic cells lines Caco-2.
Materials And Methods: Male BALB/c mice received irinotecan intraperitoneal injection with or without EcN administration intragastrically. Body weight, diarrhea severity, intestinal permeability and histopathological analysis of ileum epithelia of mice from different groups were assessed.
