Objective To observe the inhibitory effect of pyridoxine hydrochloride (PN) combined with common chemotherapeutics on mice hepatoma cells H22 in vitro. Methods MTT assay was used to determine the effects of PN in combination with 10 different antineoplastic agents on H22 cells, and immuno-histochemistry was used to observe the distribution of PN in H22 cells and morphologic changes of the cells before and after PN treatment. Results After 24 hours incubation with 5 mmol/L PN, the treated cells expanded apparently with nucleus chipping. PN entered the tumor cell and was mainly condensed in cytoplasma and H22 cells were sensitive to PN. When administered concomitantly with chemotherapic agents, most of the combinations showed antagonistic effects while a few of the combinations were additive. For instance, doxorubicin (ADM) used in combination with PN inhibited cell proliferation with an IR value (IR=0.63) much lower than ADM alone (IR=0.71, P<0.01), and the CI value was less than 0.9, which indicated an antagonistic effect. However, PN in combination with ifosfamide (ICTX) showed additive effect (CI>0.9), and the IR value (IR=0.60) in combined group was higher than that (IR=0.40) in ICTX group (P<0.05). Conclusion PN treatment could increase the intracellular PLP level and result in growth inhibition and cell death, and combined administration of PN and ICTX might be a potential method to improve efficacy and to reduce toxic effects while a co-administration of PN and ADM should be avoided.

The purpose is to study the prophylactic and therapeutic effect of the traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)-Jinyebaidu (JYBD) to guinea pig cytomegalovirus (GPCMV) intrauterine infection. The virus-free female and male guinea pigs were screened with nest-polymerase chain reaction (N-PCR). After inbred, pregnant guinea pigs were selected and divided into 3 groups randomly: 5 guniea pigs of the blank control group were not given either GPCMV or JYBD. 31 guniea pigs of the positive control group were inoculated 1 mL (10(7) TCID50) suspension of GPCMV intraperitoneal. 10 guniea pigs of the experimental group were inoculated GPCMV firstly and then perfused stomach with JYBD for 14 days (Dosage in accordance with the modulus of the weight ratio of human to guniea pig). The effects of JYBD on the intrauterine infection of GPCMV were observed. The results showed that JYBD could decrease the maternal infection rate from 100% (31/31) to 50% (5/10) (P < 0.001), the intrauterine infection rate from 100% (72/72) to 75% (21/28) (P < 0.001), and the rate of abnormal outcome of pregnancy from 64.4% (29/45) to 25.0% (7/28) (P < 0.001), the infective symptoms being relieved. It can be concluded that traditional Chinese medicine- JYBD can prevent and treat (GPCMV intrauterine infection, and can be expected a prophylactic drug for HCMV intrauterine infection.

Objective To study the effect of Jingyebaidu granules on treating cytomegalovirus ( CMV) infection during mid-pregnancy. Methods The sexually mature guinea pigs with no CMV infection history served as the subjects. Put the male and female ones in the same cages. Then the female ones were randomly divided into three groups during mid-pregnancy. Model control group:15 guinea pigs which were inoculated 1 mL suspension of GPCMV intraperitoneally. Jingyebaidu Medicine group:15 guinea pigs which were treated with Jingyebaidu(3. 09 mL·kg-1 ) through stomach perfusion after inoculation for 14 days. Normal control group:15 normal mid-pregnant guinea pigs. Viremia rates were examined 7 days after infection. All animals were sacrificed 20 days after infection. The placenta infection rate, pup infection rate, still-born rate were examined. Results Compared with the normal controls, the still-born rate was increased in model control group(8. 33% vs 34. 55%, P<0. 05). In comparison to the model control group, the GPCMV maternal infection rate(86. 67% vs 33. 33%), placenta infection rate (91. 67% vs 61. 22%), pup infection rate(90. 91% vs 48. 28%), still-born rate(34. 55% vs 15. 52%) were significantly decreased in the Jinyebaidu group (all P<0. 05). Conclusion Jinyebaidu granules could reduce maternal infection,pup loss, and placenta infection caused by CMV inoculation during mid-pregnancy.

Objective To make clear the arsenic distribution in drinking water sources in Hubei Province, make provincial distribution map of high-arsenic water and provide scientific basis for formulating refined measures to prevent and control arsenic poisoning of drinking water type in Hubei Province. Methods In 103 counties of Hubei Province, residents were sampled according to different water supplies (centralized water supply, small centralized water supply in rural areas and decentralized water supply). One water sample was collected from source water and tap water in centralized water supply system and at least 3 samples were collected from decentralized water supply system in a village. Water iodine content was tested using atomic fluorescence spectrometry and a distribution map of high-arsenic water at county level was drawn using ArcGIS 10.2. Results Totally 38 292 water samples were collected. The water-arsenic-concentration median was less than 1.00 μg/L. The high-arsenic water detection rate in urban centralized water supply was 3.7%(80/2 176);which were all 0.1%(4/4 304,30/31 812) in small centralized water supply in rural areas and decentralized water supply. The high-arsenic water sources from centralized water supplies were distributed centrally in the south, the central and the east of Hubei Province and those from dispersed water supplies were distributed dispersedly in the south, the central and the east of Hubei Province.Conclusions There are still some dispersed water supplies with very high arsenic concentration in Hubei Province, which should be included to change the water area as soon as possible. Moreover, high arsenic water samples are found from centralized water supplies, which means the water treatment process should be upgraded or water resources should be changed.
