Status of vaccine research and development of vaccines for herpes simplex virus

Herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) and -2 (HSV-2) are highly prevalent global pathogens which commonly cause recurrent oral and genital ulcerations. Less common but more serious complications include meningitis, encephalitis, neonatal infection, and keratitis. HSV-2 infection is a significant driver of the HIV epidemic, increasing the risk of HIV acquisition 3 fold. As current control strategies for genital HSV-2 infection, including antiviral therapy and condom use, are only partially effective, vaccines will be required to reduce infection. Both preventive and therapeutic vaccines for HSV-2 are being pursued and are in various stages of development. We will provide an overview of efforts to develop HSV-2 vaccines, including a discussion of the clinical need for an HSV vaccine, and status of research and development with an emphasis on recent insights from trials of vaccine candidates in clinical testing. In addition, we will touch upon aspects of HSV vaccine development relevant to low and middle income countries.

Male genital vitiligo

Vitiligo is a polygenetic multifactorial disease leading to melanocytic loss in skin and sometimes in hair. Genital areas may be involved and represent a specific therapeutic challenge. Surprisingly, data on male genital vitiligo remain scarce. This review aims to collate current knowledge on male genital vitiligo and to discuss the risks and benefits of the various therapeutic approaches. Male genital vitiligo is relatively frequent and often induces marked impairment of quality of life, with a specific impact on sex life. Prompt recognition of activity remains mandatory to halt disease progression, as repigmentation remains difficult to achieve in most cases. Thanks to progress in understanding of the pathophysiology of vitiligo, new therapeutic approaches are under development. Topical ruxolitinib, a JAK pathway inhibitor, is currently the product in the most advanced stage of development, with a very encouraging repigmentation rate on the face, although specific efficacy in genital area remains to be assessed. The next generation of treatments, such as topical WNT agonists, could be of great interest in genital vitiligo as they will not require combination with UV therapy and they may be able to enhance the differentiation and proliferation of melanocyte stem cells in this difficult-to-treat area.     

Effect of a Condom Cover on Vaginal Photoplethysmographic Responses

IntroductionThe vaginal photoplethysmograph (VPP) is a reusable intravaginal device often employed in sexual psychophysiology studies to assess changes in vaginal blood flow, an indicator of sexual arousal.AimTo test whether placing a disposable cover on the VPP probe impacts the acquired data. A condom cover would reduce risk of disease transmission and likely increase participant comfort but may negatively impact the VPP signal.MethodThe genital responses of 25 cisgender women (mean age = 21.3 years, standard deviation = 2.6) were assessed with VPP in a within-subjects design with 2 conditions—with and without a polyisoprene condom cover. Sexual responses were elicited by audiovisual film clips that varied in erotic intensity: nonsexual (nonsexual male-female interaction), low-intensity sexual (nude exercise), and high-intensity sexual (male-female intercourse). Women continuously rated their sexual arousal during stimulus presentations.Main Outcome MeasureChange in vaginal pulse amplitude and also self-reported sexual arousal.ResultsThe magnitude of sexual response to each stimulus category and the overall pattern of results were found to be highly similar in the cover-off and cover-on conditions. The high-intensity sexual stimulus category elicited a greater sexual response than all other categories. The low-intensity sexual category elicited a (small) genital response in only the cover-on condition, although we suspect this is a spurious finding. There was no difference in the average number of edited movement artifacts across conditions.Clinical ImplicationsPotential benefits of encasing the VPP probe with a protective cover include enhanced participant safety and comfort, especially if assessing genital responses of high-risk or immunocompromised samples. The use of a cover complies with current guidelines for reprocessing semi-critical medical devices (eg, vaginal ultrasound probes) in many regions.Strengths & LimitationsAlthough the idea of a VPP probe cover had been discussed among sexual psychophysiology researchers, this is the first study to empirically test whether a cover could jeopardize VPP data. Potential limitations include the use of a 10-Hz VPP sampling rate and a cover that was not tailored to the size of the VPP probe.ConclusionPlacing a protective cover on the VPP probe did not appear to meaningfully impact sexual arousal or the VPP data. Based on these results and the potential advantages of a protective cover, researchers may wish to integrate the use a condom cover in their experiment protocols and clinical applications.Sawatsky ML, Lalumière ML.

PRNCR1在前列腺癌诊断及预后的价值

目的 探讨前列腺癌非编码RNA1（PRNCR1）在前列腺癌早期诊断及预后的价值。方法 选取2012年1月至2015年10月在本院诊治前列腺癌患者45例、良性前列腺增生患者88例，进行PRNCR1检验。结果 PRNCR1 检验的灵敏度84.4%（38/45）、特异度90.9%（80/88）、阳性预测值82.6%（38/46）、阴性预测值92.0%（80/87)、符合率88.7%（118/133），PRNCR1在前列腺癌组织中含量高于癌旁组织和良性前列腺增生组织，差异有统计学意义（P<0.05）。两年内转移、复发、肿瘤死亡患者30例，其PRNCRA表达量高于两年内无转移、复发、死亡的患者（15例），差异有统计学意义（P<0.05）。结论 PRNCR1表达在诊断前列腺癌有价值，PRNCR1高表达与患者预后不良有关。

程序性细胞死亡蛋白配体1在结直肠癌免疫治疗中的研究进展

近年来,抗程序性细胞死亡蛋白1(PD-1)药物在转移性结直肠癌患者错配修复缺陷治疗中的成功使得该疾病的免疫治疗得以重视。然而,失配修复缺陷的结直肠癌患者仅占结肠癌患者的一部分。目前的研究重点是将免疫治疗应用到疾病的早期阶段,包括辅助一线治疗,以及检测免疫检查点抑制剂治疗的敏感性。然而,哪些患者能够从该免疫治疗中获益仍是值得商榷的问题,因为这类药物具有自身免疫毒性。PD-1的配体之一程序性细胞死亡蛋白配体1(PD-L1)作为一种检测生物标记物,其检测可以通过免疫组化来实现。但其免疫组化的检测存在一些混杂因素,包括应用不同的检测抗体、不同的免疫组化临界值、肿瘤组织的采集准备方式不同、处理过程的不同、原发与继发的活检标本、肿瘤源性或诱导的PD-L1表达,以及肿瘤与免疫细胞的染色等。目前的结果表明,免疫组化检测肿瘤过表达PD-L1的患者在接受抗PD-L1治疗时临床效果更理想,而有些低表达的肿瘤也对该治疗有所缓解,这使PD-L1的分析中存在复杂性。阐明宿主免疫系统与肿瘤微环境的机制则能够更好地解释针对PD-L1药物是否让患者受益。
