Objective: To observe whether an Xingnaojing 醒脑静 injection could improve the prognosis of patients,
by increasing rifampicin penetration through the blood-brain barrier. Methods: Patients with severe
tuberculous meningitis were enrolled in this study. The concentrations of Xingnaojing in cerebrospinal
fluid and blood in patients treated with Xingnaojing and control were determined by high performance
liquid chromatography. The changes in cerebrospinal fluid and the improvement of clinical symptoms
and signs, were evaluated two weeks after admission. The long-term prognosis of the patients in the
two groups were evaluated by the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS). Results: The concentration of
rifampicin in cerebrospinal fluid was significantly higher in the Xingnaojing group (1.77±0.17 μg/mL),
than in the control group (1.27±0.16 μg/mL, p<0.05). The difference in concentration of rifampicin
in the blood was not significant (P>0.05). The short-term effective rate of the Xingnaojing group was
92.5% (37/40), which was significantly higher than that of the control group (80%, 32/40, p<0.05).
After 6 months, 75% (30/40) of the Xingnaojing group had good prognosis according to the GOS
score, whereas that of the control group was 50% (20/40) showing significantly better long-term
treatment effect of the Xingnaojing group compared to the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Xingnaojing injection improved rifampicin penetration into the central nervous system.
The increase in rifampicin concentration in cerebrospinal fluid improved outcomes in patients with
severe tuberculous meningitis.

Objective:To evaluate the role of ErbB2 interacting protein (Erbin) in sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) in mice and the relationship with nod-like receptor thermoprotein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes.Methods:Sixty SPF-grade healthy male wild-type C57BL/6 mice and 60 Erbin (-/-)C57BL/6 mice, aged 8-10 weeks, weighing 20-25 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=30 each) by a random number table method: wild-type sham operation group (WT+ Sham group), wild-type SAE group (WT+ SAE group), Erbin (-/-) sham operation group (EKO+ Sham group) and Erbin (-/-) plus SAE group (EKO+ SAE group). The model of SAE was established by cecal ligation and perforation in anesthetized mice.Open field test (total distance moved) was performed at 7 days after establishing the model, new object recognition test (recognition index) was performed at 8 days after establishing the model, and Morris water maze test (time of staying at target quadrant) was performed at 10 days after establishing the model.The mice were sacrificed, and hippocampal tissues were removed for microscopic examination of pathologic changes (by HE staining) and for determination of neuron count, expression of NLRP3, caspase-1 and apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC) (by Western blot), the number of NLRP3 positive cells (by immunohistochemistry), and contents of interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and IL-18 (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). The cell survival rate was calculated. Results:Compared with group WT+ Sham, the time of staying at target quadrant was significantly shortened, the recognition index and cell survival rate were decreased, the contents of IL-1β, IL-18 and TNF-α and the number of NLRP3 positive cells were increased, and the expression of NLRP3, caspase-1 and ASC was up-regulated in group WT+ SAE ( P<0.05). Compared with group EKO+ Sham, the time of staying at target quadrant was significantly shortened, the recognition index and cell survival rate were decreased, the contents of IL-1β, IL-18 and TNF-α and the number of NLRP3 positive cells were increased, and the expression of NLRP3, caspase-1 and ASC was up-regulated in group EKO+ SAE ( P<0.05). Compared with group WT+ SAE, the time of staying at target quadrant was significantly shortened, the recognition index and cell survival rate were decreased, the contents of IL-1β, IL-18 and TNF-α and the number of NLRP3 positive cells were increased, and the expression of NLRP3, caspase-1 and ASC was up-regulated in group EKO+ SAE ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in total distance moved between the four groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Erbin can exert endogenous protection by inhibiting the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes in mice with SAE.
