AI Article Synopsis

  • This study assessed plant-based immune-adjuvants from Phoenix dactylifera and Mentha piperita, suggesting their potential as effective vaccine boosters due to fewer side effects compared to traditional adjuvants.
  • Eight different infectious coryza (IC) vaccines were created using various adjuvants, including Montanide™ ISA 201, and tested on chickens for their immune response and protection against bacteria.
  • Results indicated that using a 2 mg concentration of the plant extracts with liquid paraffin oil enhanced the immune response, confirming their immunomodulatory properties and suggesting Montanide™ ISA 201 as the most effective adjuvant for boosting protective responses in vaccine formulations.

Article Abstract

This study evaluated plant-based immune-adjuvants from crude extracts of Phoenix dactylifera and Mentha piperita as promising adjuvants for vaccines because of the limited side effects associated with plant extracts. In addition, Montanide™ ISA 201 previously used in vaccines in cattle. Eight different infectious coryza (IC) vaccines were prepared from three serovars [A (W strain and local strain), C (Modesto strain) and B (0222 strain)] with eight Avibacterium paragallinarum vaccines adjuvants formulae using liquid paraffin, Montanide™ ISA 71, Montanide™ ISA 201, and Montanide™ Gel adjuvants, P. dactylifera and M. piperita as immune-stimulants at a concentration of 1 mg and 2 mg incorporated with or without liquid paraffin oil as an adjuvant. These vaccines were applied in a chicken model. After a single immunization, the eight vaccine formulations were evaluated using the ELISA and Microplate agglutination test. Evidence of protection in the immunized birds was based on the results after challenge and bacterial isolation. The incorporation of the crude aqueous extract of P. dactylifera or M. piperita at a concentration of 2 mg in a liquid paraffin oil adjuvanted IC vaccine could be employed as an efficient adjuvant for chicken to IC vaccine to enhance immune responses. Also,Montanide™ ISA 201 may be the best adjuvant to be used to enhance the protective response against Av. paragallinarum. Our results confirm that aqueous extracts of M. piperita leaves and P. dactylifera fruit have immunomodulatory potentials in vivo and elevated serum antibodies against Av. Paragallinarum.

Background: BERIL-1 was a randomized phase 2 study that studied paclitaxel with either buparlisib, a pan-class I PIK3 inhibitor, or placebo in patients with recurrent or metastatic (R/M) head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC). Considering the therapeutic paradigm shift with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) now approved in the first-line setting, we present an updated immunogenomic analysis of patients enrolled in BERIL-1, including patients with immune-infiltrated tumors.

Objective: The objective of this study was to identify biomarkers predictive of treatment efficacy in the context of the post-ICI therapeutic landscape.

Objectives: A combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy is employed in the curative and postoperative treatment of locally advanced head and neck cancers (HNC). Integrated chemoradiation (CRT) treatments result in a non-negligible rate of severe toxic effects. Treatment-related death (TRD) is a crucial topic for physicians involved in the curative treatment of HNC.

A pilot study on the effects of olfactory stimulation with white musk aromatic oil on psychophysiological activity: a crossover study.

Sci Rep

Department of Agro‑Environmental Sciences, Faculty of Agriculture, Kyushu University, 744 Motooka, Nishi‑ku, Fukuoka, 8190395, Japan.

Studies on the compounds of aromatic oils and their effects on psychophysiological changes in humans are often conducted separately. To obtain better validation, a suitable protocol is needed that can be extrapolated to large-scale olfactory stimulation experiments. Unfortunately, this type of study is still rarely performed.

This article proposes using the extended Kalman filter (EKF) for recurrent neural network (RNN) training and fault estimation within a parabolic-trough solar plant. The initial step involves employing an RNN to model the system. Given the challenge of fault discernibility in the collectors, parallel EKFs are employed to reconstruct the parameters of the faults.

Rolling schedule design for the ESP rolling process based on NSGA-II-DE.

Multiple processes connected closely during the endless strip production (ESP) rolling, it is difficult to obtain the global optimal solution by multi-objective modelling of a single process, and the parameters to be optimized coupled with each other. To obtain the optimal solution, a multi-objective optimization model combining the power consumption, product quality, and loading balance was proposed for the design of an ESP rolling schedule. The thickness and heating temperature were simultaneously taken as the decision variables for coupling the temperature and loading in the rolling process, and the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II) based on differential evolution (NSGA-II-DE) was applied to obtain the Pareto solutions.
