Abstract: A message transmitting method and apparatus provide for a subtle reminder function. Head portraits of at least two user accounts are displayed in a first chat interface. The at least two user accounts include a first user account and a second user account. An interaction message is generated in response to an interaction with the head portrait of the second user account. The interaction message is transmitted to the second user account.

Abstract: A hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine includes an HBV core antigen (HBcAg) and/or HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) formulated in nanocomplexes. The nanocomplexes contain chitosan and ?-PGA. These nanocomplexes containing HBc/sAg, chitosan, and ?-PGA can induce more balanced T helper cells (Th1 and Th2) polarization than can a conventional vaccine with an alum adjuvant. HBc/s-NC of the invention can elicit high levels of antibodies against HBsAg, a rapid elimination of HBsAg, and a slow decrease of HBeAg, indicating a phenomenon of HBsAg seroconversion. Thus, HBc/s-NC can overcome immune tolerance caused by chronic HBV infection to re-establish host immunity leading a functional cure.
