Xanthine oxidase (XOD), catalyzing purine metabolism, is the key enzyme in uric acid (UA) biosynthesis, and becomes an important target for hyperuricemia treatment. The inhibition on XOD plays an important role in the treatment of hyperuricemia-related diseases, such as gout, as well as oxidative stress-induced tissue injury. Here, studies on the natural products with XOD inhibition are reviewed.

BACKGROUND:In recent years, tissue engineering has made great progress, and skin tissue engineering is especialy noteworthy. Artificial dermis (PELNAC) is relatively used widely, but there is a lack of relevant reports on wound repair in children. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical efficacy of Pelnac? METHODS:In a retrospective study, 22 patients with the wound of severe trauma were treated with Pelnac as skin graft dressings on treatment of the wounds of severe trauma in children. ? graft, negative-pressure wound therapy and split-thickness skin graft as experimental group (Pelnac? group), and another 19 patients treated with granulation formation dressing and split-thickness skin graft as control group. We colected data including the graft livability, the required re-operative times and the epithelization time after the skin graft. During the folow-up, the skin color and texture of survival skin, subcutaneous fulness, scar hyperplasia and the joint function were also evaluated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In the Pelnac ? group, the graft livability was up to 90% within 10-14 days after grafting. The secondary split-thickness skin graft was required in two cases in the Pelnac? group and in eight cases in the control group. There was a significant difference in the graft livability (P < 0.05). The average epithelization time after the skin graft was (13.86±3.09) days in the Pelnac? group, which was significant shorter than the control group, (19.10±4.62) days, after the first time operation (P< 0.05). During the 10 months folow-up, the survival skin color and skin elasticity in the Pelnac? group was significantly better than that in the control group (P< 0.05). Better subcutaneous fulness and milder scar hyperplasy in the injured sites were obtained in the Pelnac? group compared with the control gorup. Five cases had certain joint function limitation in the Pelnac? group, compared to 10 cases in the control group, with a significant difference (P < 0.05). Artificial dermis Pelnac? has a stronger anti-infectious ability and higher graft livability. Pelnac? graft combined with negative-pressure wound therapy, granulation culture and split-thickness skin graft can shorten the epithelization time, improve wound healing and aleviate harm to the joint function after the skin graft.

Objective To investigate the effect of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) combined with ultrafiltration in treatment of kidney injury induced by serious hemorrhagic shock in rabbits.Methods Models of pressure-controlled hemorrhagic shock was developed in 24 New Zealand white rabbits which were divided into unresuscitation group (n =8),ECMO combined with ultrafiltration group (combined resuscitation group,n =8),and fluid resuscitation group (n =8) according to the random number table.Heart rate was monitored via electrocardiograph and arterial pressure via fermoral artery catheter.Blood samples were collected pre-and post-shock and after resuscitation to measure levels of lactic acid,serum creatinine,IL-6,and TNF-α.Kidney samples were collected for measurement of histopathological changes via HE staining,expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) via immunohistochemical staining.Results Arterial pressure was (53.1 ± 11.4) mmHg in combined resuscitation group,higher than (41.3 ± 11.1) mmHg in fluid resuscitation group and (25.9 ± 10.5) mmHg in unresuscitation group (F =41.425,P ＜ 0.05).Hemorrhagic shock induced significant up-regulation of lactic acid,serum creatinine,IL-6,and TNF-α(P ＜ 0.05),but all were lowered after resuscitation,especially in combined resuscitation group (P ＜ 0.05).HE staining showed the degree of kidney tissue necrosis and inflammatory cytokine infiltration in combined resuscitation group alleviated notably compared with fluid resuscitation group.Median and interquartile values of HSP70 were 17 828.960 0 (15 779.865 0-21 751.980 0) in unresuscitation group,2 714.270 0 (1 339.215 0-7 616.950 0) in fluid resuscitation group,and 262.930 0 (198.820 0-538.195 0) in combine resuscitation group,with statistical differences among groups(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion ECMO combined with ultrafiltration is superior to conventional fluid resuscitation in improving hypoxia tissue injury and inflammatory reaction after hemorrhagic shock and is beneficial to attenuating kidney injury.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of Tuina (Chinese therapeutic massage) plus needling the distal acupoints along the pathway of meridians for shoulder periarthritis (SP). Methods: A total of 70 patients with SP were divided into an observation group and a control group using the random number table method, with 35 cases in each group. The patients in the observation group were treated by Tuina combined with needling distal acupoints along the pathway of meridians, while those in the control group only received the same Tuina treatment as in the observation group. The visual analog scale (VAS) and shoulder joint function were scored before and after treatment, and the efficacy after treatment was evaluated. Results: After three courses of treatment, the total effective rate of the observation group was 94.3％, while the total effective rate of the control group was 80.0％, showing a statistical difference (P<0.05). After treatment, the VAS scores of the two groups were significantly lower than the baseline scores (P<0.01), and the VAS score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (P<0.01). After treatment, the total scores of internal rotation, external rotation, back touching, ear touching and motion function in the two groups were significantly higher than those before treatment (P<0.01), and the above five scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion: Tuina combined with needling the distal acupoints along the pathway of meridians is more effective than Tuina alone in treating SP. The combined therapy can relieve the pain and improve joint function more effectively.

Using the Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus as the indictor bacterium,fourteen antibacterial strains were initially obtained by the bilayer-media screening method from the raw milk samples,and one isolate was found to exhibit the higher antibacterial activity against the indicator. This isolate was further studied on its individual and cultural morphology features,partial physiological and biochemical reaction activities,G+C content,the sequence features of the 16S rDNA and the species-specific N-acetylmuraminidase gene(acmA) ,consequently,it was identified as the Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis strain,named as MB191. An evaluation of the antimicrobial spectra of MB191 was subsequently performed,it showed the remarkable activities against not only the tested Gram-positive bacteria,but also several Gram-negative bacteria including Pseudomonas syringae and P. fluorescens,as well as the yeast Debaryomyces hansenii,which was a distinctive feature that was not reported prior to this study.
