Atropic rhinitis (AR) is one of major respiratory diseases in pigs. AR causes a great economic losses and is considered to be a multifactorial disease in which herd management, heredity, and environment. Several vaccines against have been developed commercially and used in pig farms but the efficacy of each vaccine is still questionable. In this study, one of commercial AR vaccines, which contains inactivated Bordetella bronchiseptica, Pasteurella multocida type D and their toxoid was evaluated for vaccine efficacy by challenge test. Twenty piglets were divided into four groups as follows; group I was piglets from vaccinated sows (twice before parturition); group II was piglets from vaccinated sows (same as group I) and were vaccinated at 1 day old; group III and IV were piglets without any vaccination. Groups I, II, and III were challenged by intranasal instillation of $5.3{\times}10^7$ CFU of B bronchiseptica twice and $1{\times}10^9$ CFU of P multocida five times. Group IV was control group without any vaccination and any challenge. We compared serological results, recovery rate of P multocida by polymerase chain reaction, clinical signs and pathological findings between vaccinated groups and unvaccinated groups for efficacy of the vaccine, Serological responses against B bronchiseptica and toxigenic P multocida type D were not showed evident discrepancy between vaccinated groups and unvaccinated groups assuming that the antibody responses against the vaccine is very delayed. However, growth rate, clinical signs and snout lesion grading in vaccinated groups showed more favorable than those in unvaccinated group. Therefore, AR vaccination in this study is considered to be effective in the prevention of AR in pigs.

Bordetella bronchiseptica and Pasteurella multocida are two main pathogens responsible for atrophic rhinitis (AR), which causes considerable economic losses in swine industry worldwide. Commercial vaccine has been widely used to prevent the damage from AR in Korea. Adverse effects of vaccination at the injection site have been reported, which results in the numerous complaint from farms. However, data on about local reaction at the injection site remains limited. In this study, we compared the local adverse effects of three commercial vaccines following intramuscular injection. The results showed that no gross lesion was founded at the injection sites of all three vaccines. In histopathologic examination, a various level of lesions was identified. Especially, the local reaction of vaccine including saponin as an adjuvant showed the lowest level of histopathological lesions, when compared to those of oil-based and vitamin E-based vaccines. Therefore, this study would provide the information about the extent of local reaction at the injection site and help the farmer to select AR vaccine in order to avoid adverse reaction due to vaccination.

Chitosan microspheres were prepared by ionic gelation process with sodium sulfate for nasal vaccine delivery. Bordetella Bronchiseptica Dermonecrotoxin (BBD) as a major virulence factor of a causative agent of atrophic rhinitis (AR) was loaded to the chitosan microspheres for vaccination. Morphology of BBD-loaded chitosan microspheres was observed as spherical shapes. The average particle sizes of the BBD-loaded chitosan microspheres were about $2.69$\mid${\;}\mu\textrm{m}$. More BBD was released with an increase of molecular weight of chitosan and with an increase of medium pH in vitro due to weaker intermolecular interaction between chitosan and BBD. Tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}{\;}(TNF{\alpha})$ and nitric oxide (NO) from RAW264.7 cells stimulated with BBD-loaded chitosan microspheres were gradually secreted, suggesting that released BBD from chitosan microspheres had immune stimulating activity of AR vaccine.

목적: 최근 β-lactam 계 항생제에 대한 내성을 보이는 Haemophilus influenzae가 증가하고 있다. 본 연구는 최근 5년간 서울아산병원 어린이 병원에서 분리된 H. influenzae 균주의 항생제 내성 양상을 분석하고자 한다. 방법: 2014년 3월부터 2019년 4월까지 서울아산병원 어린이병원을 내원한 18세 미만의 소아청소년 환자의 임상 검체에서 분리된 H. influenzae 균주를 대상으로 항생제 내성 양상을 분석하였다. 결과: 최근 5년간 총 69례의 H. influenzae가 분리되었으며 이들 환자의 연령 중앙값은 5.0 (2.8-8.6)세였다. 총 69례 중 3례(4.3%)가 혈액 배양에서 분리되었으며, 66례(95.7%)가 비침습성 균주로서 대부분 호흡기 검체(59례)에서 분리되었다. 항생제 감수성 분포는 ampicillin (AMP) 감수성/amoxicillin-clavulanate (AMC) 감수성 균주 15례(21.7%), AMP 내성/AMC 감수성 21례(30.4%), AMP 내성/AMC 내성 33례(47.8%)였으며, 최근 5년에 걸쳐 AMP 내성/AMC 내성 균주는 지속적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였다 (2014-2015: 42.1% [8/19], 2016-2017: 46.4% [13/28], 2018-2019: 54.5% [12/22], P for trend=0.342). 2014-2015년에 비해 2018-2019년 기간에는 cefuroxime과 ceftriaxone에 대한 내성률은 각각 31.6%에서 77.3% 및 0.0% 에서 59.1% 로 유의하게 증가하였다(P for trend 0.003 및 <0.001). 결론: 최근 국내의 3차 의료기관에 입원한 소아에서 분리되는 H. influenzae 균주는 AMP및 AMC에 대해 모두 내성인 경우가 흔하며, cefuroxime 및 ceftriaxone 에 대한 내성률이 유의하게 증가하였다. 이러한 균주의 내성 기전 분석과 함께 이의 출현과 확산을 최소화하기 위한 노력이 필수적이다.

Biodegradable polymeric microspheres were studied for their usefulness as carriers for the delivery of vaccine antigens. However, protein antigen could be denatured during microencapsulation processes due to the exposure to the organic phase and stress condition of cavitation and shear force. Therefore this study was carried out to re-evaluate the degree of protein denaturation during microencapsulation with poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) copolymer. PLGA microspheres containing ovalbumin (OVA), prepared by W/O/W multiple emulsification method, were suspended in pH 7.4 PBS and incubated with shaking at $37.5^{\circ}C$. Drug released medium was collected periodically and analyzed for protein contents by micro-BCA protein assay. In order to evaluate the protein integrity, release medium was subjected to the analyses of SDS-PAGE and size exclusion chromatography (SEC). And enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was introduced to measure the immunoreactivity of entrapped OVA and to get an insight into the three-dimensional structure of epitope. The structures of entrapped protein were not affected significantly by the results of SDS-PAGE and SEC. However, immunoreactivity of released antigen was varied, revealing the possibility of protein denaturation in some microspheres when it was evaluate by ELISA method. Therefore, in order to express the degree of protein denaturation, antigenicity ratio (AR) was obtained as follows: amount of immunoreactivity of OVA/total amount of OVA released ${\times}100(%)$. ELISA method was an efficient tool to detect a protein denaturation during microencapsulation and the comparison of AR values resulted in more accurate evaluation for immunoreactivity of entrapped protein.
