Objective Develop a reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methodfor detecting isoniazid in vitreous humor and spinal fluid.Method Vanillin, as a derivative reagent, was added to the vitreous humor and spinal fluid samples. Isoniazid and vanillin reacted to form isonicotinoyl hydrazone which was separated and detected. The pretreatment method of sample, the linear range, the precision, the recovery of isoniazid were all established by using rabbit's vitreous humor and spinal fluid spiked with standard isoniazid. The HPLC method has then been applied to investigate the concentration of isoniazid in intoxicated rabbits'vitreous numor and spinal fluid respectively.Results As established in the method, the linear range was 0.2?g/ml~12.0?g/ml (for vitreous humor ?=0.9990, for spinal fluid ?=0.9988). The detective limit was 0.2?g/ml. The intra and inter-day precision of assay for isoniazid were less than 4.9%( n =5) in vitreous numor and spinal fluid. The average recoveries of isoniazid were more than 97.1%. The concentration of isoniazid was 74.60?7.40?g/ml in vitreous humor, 88.95?10.12?g /ml in spinal fluid.Conclusion The HPLC method is suitable for analyzing isoniazid in the vitreous numor and spinal fluid.

Objective To observe and compare the clinical efficacy of fire needling versus electroacupuncture in treating knee osteoarthritis of kidney and marrow deficiency type.Methods One hundred and ten patients with knee osteoarthritis of kidney and marrow deficiency type were randomly allocated to two groups, a fire needling group of 56 cases and an electroacupuncture group of 54 cases. The fire needling group received filiform needle acupuncture and fire needle pricking and the electroacupuncture group, electroacupuncture. Treatment was given once every other day, for a total of four weeks as one course. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score were recorded in the two groups before and after treatment. The clinical therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups.Results The VAS score and the WOMAC subscores significantly decreased in both groups after treatment compared with those before treatment (P<0.01). There were no statistically significant post-treatment differences in the VAS score and the WOMAC subscores between the two groups (P>0.05). The VAS score and the WOMAC subscores decreased further in both groups at four weeks after treatment compared with those at the end of treatment (P<0.01). In the electroacupuncture group, there were statistically significant differences in the VAS score and the WOMAC pain and stiffness subscores between eight weeks and four weeks after treatment (P<0.01) and in the WOMAC pain, stiffness and joint function subscores between at eight weeks after treatment and at the end of treatment (P<0.01). In the fire needling group, there were statistically significant differences in the VAS score and the WOMAC pain, stiffness and joint function subscores between at eight weeks after treatment and at the end of treatment (P<0.01). At four weeks after treatment, the VAS score and the WOMAC pain, stiffness and joint function subscores were significantly lower in the fire needling group than in the electroacupuncture group (P<0.05,P<0.01). At eight weeks after treatment, the VAS score and the WOMAC pain and stiffness subscores were still significantly lower in the fire needling group than in the electroacupuncture group (P<0.01). The total efficacy rate was 94.6% in the fire needling group and 90.7% in the electroacupuncture group; there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusions Both filiform needle acupuncture plus fire needle pricking and electroacupuncture can markedly relieve the pain and stiffness and improve joint function in knee osteoarthritis of kidney and marrow deficiency type. Both have an equivalent short-term therapeutic effect. Filiform needle acupuncture plus fire needle pricking has a better long-term therapeutic effect than electroacupuncture.

Objective To introduce inhaled inactivated-mycobacterium phlei on prevention and treatment of moderate bronchial asthma to observe the clinical effect. Method This study was a prospective and controlled study. The patients diagnosed with asthma in our out-patient from March 2009 to December 2010 were collected, who met the following conditions were included in the study: age≥ 14 years; met the criteria of moderate chronic persistent bronchial asthma in Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) in 2008; suspended receiving systemic corticosteroids, Montelukast, ketotifen and other anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic drugs in one month; no significant respiratory tract infections; and other serious illnesses or abnormalities known.A total of 100 patients with asthma were selected, including 37 males and 63 females, age (32.11 ± 12.95 )years. The patients were randomly(random number) divided into two groups: A group(treatment group; 16males and 34 females, age 33.56 ± 14.23 years) and B group (control group; 21 males and 29 females,age 30.66 ± 11.50 years); 50 in each group. No significant difference was noted between the two groups on age and gender composition. The patients in A group were treated with inhaled inactivated-mycobacterium phlei F. U. 36 Injection 1.72 μg/mL × 2 that adding 3 mL normal saline, once a day for 5 days. The patients in B group were treated with salmeterol xinafoate and fluticasone propionate powder for inhalation (50/100 μg), twice daily for sustainable use. The patients in the two groups were observed for one month. During this course, the patients in the two groups could inhale the salbutamol sulphate aerosol as need to relieve symptoms. And the number of using was recorded. Pulmonary function test and asthma provocative test were carried out on the Day O, 6 and 31. ACT scores were measured before and after the treatment. Results On Day 6 and 31 after treatment, the negative conversion rates of asthma provocative test of the patients in A group were 82% and 78% respectively, B group were 84% and 90% respectively. Provocative test of the patients in the two groups were negative conversion significantly before and after treatment. There was no significant difference between the two groups by chi-square test (P > 0. 05 ). Completely random designed data was analyzed by analysis of variance. The analysis showed that the accumulated doses of methacholine of the patients in the two group increased significantly ( P < 0. 05 ), but no difference between the two groups.There was a improvement trend on forced expiratory volume in one second( FEV1 )of the patients in A group after treatment, but no difference. FEV1 of the patients in B group increased significantly higher ( P <0.05), which was significantly higher than A group on the 31th day (P <0. 05); Peak expiratory flow (PEF) of the patients in the two group increased significantly on Day 6 and 31 after treatment (P <0.05 ).On Day 31, B group was significantly higher than A group ( P < 0. 05 ); Scores of asthma control test (ACT)of the patients in the two group were significantly increased, and the number of using of salbutamol sulfate aerosol was significantly reduced (P <0.01 ). B group was obvious than group A (P <0.05 ). During treatment, there were only two adverse reaction cases of transient low fever; most obvious was on the third day.Conclusions Inhaled inactivated-mycobacterium phlei would inhibit the airway hyperresponsiveness of the patients with moderate bronchial asthma in short time, improve the symptoms, reduce the acute exacerbation, and reduce the use of rescue medication, which has the roles of prevention and treatment of moderate asthma in a certain period of time.

The preliminary role of respiratory burst oxidase homolog (Rboh) in plant immune response is defined, but the exact function of OsRboh gene in rice immune response and its expression pattern is yet unclear. In order to clarify the role of OsRboh in rice immune response, we screened seven OsRboh genes from the latest rice genome annotation database. The result of tissue specific expression analysis demonstrated that OsRbohD was expressed only in spike and calli, and OsRbohE and OsRbohF were only expressed in calli. The rest of OsRboh genes were constitutively expressed in rice. In addition, the expression level of OsRboh gene family was analyzed in the rice leaves respectively treated with salicylic acid (SA), methyl jasmonic acid (MeJA) and Xanthomonas oryzae PV. oryzae (Xoo) PXO99 strain by Real-time PCR, and H2O2 content was also quantified by spectrophotometry after the three treatments. The result shows that the expression of OsRbohA, B, C and D was increased under the treatments of SA, the expression of OsRbohA, B, C and G was increased under the treatments of MeJA, and the expression of OsRbohA and OsRbohB was induced by Xoo PXO99 strain. However, the levels of expression and responsive times of these genes were different. Moreover, all three treatments led to H2O2 accumulation. These OsRboh genes have functional roles in rice native immune response.

AIM:To investigate the relationship between the dynamic changes of Lymphocyte-to-monocytes ratios(LMR)before PD-1 inhibitor treat-ment and the efficacy and prognosis of PD-1 inhibi-tor treatment in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).METHODS:The clinical case data of 83 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer admitted to the Cancer Hospital of Wuhu Second People's Hospital from June 2019 to July 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The rou-tine blood LMR values of all patients before and af-ter treatment were collected,the cut-off value was calculated according to the ROC curve,and the LMR was divided into two groups:high and low be-fore treatment and after treatment.The differenc-es of ORR,DCR,PFS and OS among the patients in each group were analyzed and compared,and the value of LMR value and dynamic changes after treatment on the efficacy and prognosis of patients with PD-1 inhibitors in the treatment of NSCLC pa-tients was analyzed.RESULTS:According to the ROC curve,the critical value of LMR was 1.8,and the LMR was divided into the low LMR group at baseline(LMRB/S<1.8),the high LMR group at base-line(LMRB/S≥1.8)and the low LMR group after treatment(LMRafter<1.8)and the high LMR group af-ter treatment(LMRafter≥1.8).The ORR and DCR after immunotherapy in the high LMRB/S group were high-er than those in the low LMRB/S group(P=0.037;P= 0.0025).Among the patients with low LMRB/S be-fore treatment,the DCR of the LMRafter≥1.8 group was better than that of the LMRafter<1.8 group after treatment(P=0.005).Among the patients with high LMR before treatment,the DCR of the LMRafter≥1.8 group was better than that of the LMRafter<1.8 group(P=0.034).Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that PFS and OS were longer in the high LMRB/S group than in the low LMRB/S group before treat-ment.In the low LMRB/S group before treatment,PFS and OS were longer in patients with LMRafter≥1.8 than those with LMRafter<1.8(P=0.047;P=0.007).Multivariate Cox regression model analysis showed that high LMRB/S value before treatment was an in-dependent risk factor for PFS and OS in NSCLC pa-tients(P=0.006;P=0.033).CONCLUSION:High LMR value of patients before immunotherapy may im-prove the efficacy of PD-1 inhibitors,improve the prognosis of patients,and prolong the survival time.Moreover,the increase of LMR value after treatment may increase the efficacy of patients with low LMR before treatment and improve the prognosis of patients.
