Object To optimize the process for the extraction of the original recipe used in the treatment of eczema to give a new ECZEMA SPRAY dosage form Methods The extraction process was studied by orthogonal experimental design as guided by determining the content of paeonol and baicalin in the extract Results The optimal extraction process was to reflux the original recipe with 80% ethanol twice at a bath temperature of about 90 ℃ for 1 5 and 1 0 h respectively The amount of ethanol used for each extraction was 10 and 8 times of the original recipe respectively Conclusion The above extraction process gave the most rational and satisfactory results

Objective:To investigate the tumor-specific neoantigen for primary plasma cell leukemia (PCL) using gene sequencing technology combined with bioinformatic analysis. Methods: Peripheral blood samples of one patient with primary PCL during relapse and remission periods were collected. HLA molecular typing was performed using polymerase chain reaction with sequencing-based typing; whole-exome and transcriptome were sequenced by next-generation sequencing method; and bioinformatics software NetMHCpan was used to predict neoantigens. Results: Six tumor-specific missense mutations were found in the patient's peripheral blood during relapse period, located in genes FRG1, MLL3, SVIL, MYOM1, ZDHHC11 and RFPL4A.Considering patient's HLA sub-types, 43 neoantigens were predicted via bioinformatics. Considering that FRG1 and MLL3 had relatively high gene expression levels, 20 neoantigens derived from mutations of the two genes were preferentially selected, among which four neoantigens had high affinity with the patient's HLA molecules and thus had potential clinical application value. Conclusion: The study has completed a tumor neoantigen screen and prediction for primary PCL. This practice demonstrates that predicting neoantigen based on tumor-specific somatic mutation is feasible for primary PCL.

Objective:To search the release in vitro of new MU-AN ophthalmic gel consist of ganciclovir instead of aciclovir is whether better than the Old. Methods:Using the content of ganciclovir and acyclovir as the index, taking the second oar method ( in Ch. P 2010), drug release in vitro test was investigated. Results:The character of drug release of new MU-AN ophthalmic gel was e-qual to the old, the rate of drug release was similar, The amount of drug release was the same. Both drugs met the requirements of clin-ical medication. The character corneal permeability of new MU-AN ophthalmic gel was better than the old. Gel matrix had no influ-ences on drug release, drug would be bring treatment effect after the way that it was released quickly then was dissolved in tear. Con-clusion:The drug release characteristics consistent with ophthalmic preparation requirements. The character of drug release of new MU-AN ophthalmic gel consist of ganciclovir instead of aciclovir is equal to the old, the time administer drug and interval time is gener-ally scientific, reasonable and feasible, providing the basis for the pharmacodynamics , toxicology and clinical study in the next step.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of Xijiao Dihuang Ddecoction (XJDHT) against sepsis-induced liver injury based on transcriptomics.Methods:Sixty C57BL/6 mice were randomly (random number) divided into the sepsis group, sepsis treatment with XJDHT and control group, with 20 mice in each group. The sepsis mouse model was established by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The control group was intraperitoneally injected with the same amount of normal saline. The sepsis treatment with XJDHT group was injected with XJDHT (crude drug 187.5 mg) twice a day 2 days before modeling. After modeling, gastric feeding was continued twice a day, while the control group and sepsis group were gavaged with the same amount of normal saline. At 72 h after LPS intervention, 9 mice in each group were randomly selected. After anesthesia, part of the liver were taken for small RNA and RNA sequencing and analysis, and part of the liver were taken for pathological examination.Results:XJDHT could improve the histopathological changes of liver in septic mice, and alleviate some abnormally expressed microRNAs (mmu-mir-292a-5p, mmu-mir-871-3p, mmu-mir-653-5p, mmu-mir-293-5p, mmu-mir-155-3p, mmu-mir-346-5p, mmu-mir-187-5p, mmu-mir-3090-3p) and their target genes.Conclusions:XJDHT can reduce the liver histopathological changes in septic mice, and its mechanism may be related to XJDHT regulating the expression of important key genes of liver of sepsis like mmu-mir-187-5p and its target genes such as ADAM8, irak3 and PFKFB3

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy and safety of cinobufagin tablets combined with thalidomide/dexamethasone (TD) regimen in the treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) with phlegm and stasis obstruction. MethodsThe clinical data of 50 patients with NDMM of phlegm and stasis obstruction who were hospitalized at the Jiangsu Province Hospital of Chinese Medicine from June 1st, 2015 to July 31th, 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, and they were divided into a control group (bortezomib/dexamethasone-containing regimen, 27 cases) and an observation group (cinobufagin tablets combined with TD regimen, 23 cases). The clinical efficacy and safety were compared between the two groups after two or three courses of treatment. The primary outcomes were clinical remission rate including overall response rate and deep remission rate, one-year and two-year overall survival rate, and adverse effects. The secondary outcomes were the proportion of plasma cells in bone marrow, hemoglobin, β2-microglobulin, lactate dehydrogenase, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, bone pain score, and KPS functional status score (KPS score) before and after treatment. ResultsIn terms of clinical efficacy, there was no statistically significant difference (P>0.05) in the overall response rate [the observation group 69.57%(16/23) vs the control group 70.37% (19/27)] and deep remission rate [the observation group 56.52% (13/23) vs the control group 55.56% (15/27)] between groups after the treatment. The one-year overall survival rates of the observation group and the control group were 90.9% and 92.4%, and the two-year overall survival rates were 81.8% and 80.9% respectively, with no statistically significant differences between groups (P>0.05). During the treatment, no renal function injury occurred in both groups. The incidence of peripheral nerve injury in the observation group was 8.70%, which was lower than 48.15% in the control group (P<0.01). After the treatment, the proportion of myeloma plasma cells, β2-microglobulin, serum creatinine level, and bone pain score decreased, while the hemoglobin level and KPS score increased in both groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared between groups after treatment, the bone pain score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, while the KPS score was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionThe clinical efficacy of cinobufagin tablets combined with TD in the treatment of NDMM is equivalent to bortezomib/dexamethasone-containing regimen, but the former is more helpful in relieving the pain and improving the quality of life, and has better safety.
