After successful eradication, the annual H. pylori recurrence rate is approximately 13% due tooral H. pylori infection. Established clinical diagnostic techniques do not identify an oral etiologic basis of H. pylori prior to gastric infection. There has been disagreement as to whether oral infection of H. pylori exists or not, with no definite conclusion. In medical practice, negative results with the urea breath test suggest that the stomach infection of H. pylori is cured in these patients. In fact, patients can present negative urea breath test results and yet exhibit H. pylori infection due to oral infection. The present paper provides evidence that H. pylori oral infection is nonetheless present, and the oral cavity represents a secondary site for H. pylori colonization.展开更多
A synthetic hybrid 45-peptide gene of Plasmodium falciparum (Pf), which encoded two CSP repeated peptides NANP and three merozoite peptides SPf83. 1, SPf55. 1 and SPf35. 1, was cloned in an expression vector pWR450-1,...A synthetic hybrid 45-peptide gene of Plasmodium falciparum (Pf), which encoded two CSP repeated peptides NANP and three merozoite peptides SPf83. 1, SPf55. 1 and SPf35. 1, was cloned in an expression vector pWR450-1, then the recombinant plasmid pWRA was introduced into the attenuated Salmonella typhimurium SL3261. When used as a live vaccine and administered orally (po), intravenously (iv) or intraperitoneally (ip),the recombinant strain was able to live in vivo and elicit specific humoral and cellular immunity in BALB/c mice and rabbits. As oral immunization is safe and effective, it is thought that the live recombinant Salmonella tyPhimurium vaccine may bring the Pf oral live vaccine a step nearer.展开更多
