ObjectiveIn the treatment of acute gouty arthritis （AGA）， western medicine is mostly used for anti-inflammatory and analgesic purposes to control the blood uric acid level， but some patients are still at risk of poor control and recurrent attacks. Chinese medicinal prescriptions， potent in resisting inflammation and relieving pain， are able to stabilize the blood uric acid level， reduce acute attacks， and improve the clinical efficacy of western medicine. However， there is a lack of evidence to support their use as evidence-based medicine. This study employed network Meta-analysis （NMA） to evaluate the efficacy and safety of common Chinese medicinal prescriptions in the treatment of AGA， aiming to provide evidence-based medical evidence for the clinical use of Chinese medicinal prescriptions in the treatment of AGA. MethodChinese and English databases were searched for prospective cohort studies and randomized controlled trials （RCTs） on Chinese medicinal prescriptions against AGA from database inception to December 1， 2022. Stata software and Review Manager were used for statistical analysis. ResultForty-four papers with 3 564 cases involved were included in the current NMA. In terms of reducing blood uric acid， the cumulative probability results showed that Mahuang Lianyao Chixiaodou Tang showed optimal efficacy （87.60%）. In terms of relieving joint pain， Danggui Niantongtang and Guizhi Shaoyao Zhimutang showed optimal efficacy （92.00% and 82.30%）. In terms of improving erythrocyte sedimentation rate （ESR）， Simiaowan was superior to other prescriptions （87.00%）. In terms of reducing C-reactive protein （CRP）， Simiaowan and Baihutang modified with Guizhitang showed superior efficacy （76.00% and 66.10%）. In terms of safety， except for the basic treatment group， Mahuang Lianyao Chixiaodou Tang had the lowest probability of adverse events， and Danggui Niantongtang had the highest probability of adverse reactions during treatment. According to the results of cluster analysis， Mahuang Lianyao Chixiaodou Tang and Simiaowan are effective and safe. ConclusionAccording to the results of NMA， Chinese medicinal prescriptions can assist in the treatment of AGA and improve the effectiveness of western medicine. For patients with AGA， clinicians can choose Mahuang Lianyao Chixiaodou Tang or Simiaowan as an auxiliary drug for routine western medicine treatment.

Objective To assess the efficacy and clinical value of immunoglobulin combined with interferon ( IFN) α-2b in treatment of patients with glucocorticoid refractory subacute thyroiditis. Methods Thirty-five cases of subacute thyroiditis (12 males, 23 females, age (58.1±12.0) years) from January 2016 to May 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were resistant to the treatment of glucocorticoid and as-pirin, or were not suitable for that treatment because of accompany diseases. Thirty-four healthy controls (16 males,18 females, age (57.0±10.0) years) were included. Thyroid hormone, C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate ( ESR) and 24 h iodine uptake rate tests, as well as 99 Tcm O-4 thyroid imaging and thyroid ultrasonography were performed before and after co-administration of immunoglobulin and IFNα-2b. Paired t test or Wilcoxon signed rank test, two-sample t test or Wilcoxon rank test were used for data anal-ysis. Results The levels of free triiodothyronine ( FT3 ) , free thyroxine ( FT4 ) and thyroid stimulating hor-mone ( TSH) 4 weeks after immunology intervention were restored compared with the levels before treatment ( t:4.81, 7.76, z=4.60, all P<0.01) and were not significantly different compared with those in the con-trol group ( t:0.02, 0.33, z=0.37, all P>0.05) . CRP and ESR were sharply decreased compared to those before treatment (t:9.59, 13.78, both P<0.01). The 24 h iodine uptake rate was restored 4 weeks after treatment (t=13.92, P<0.01). The positive result was found in 1 patient (2.9％, 1/35) by 24 h iodine uptake rate test, and 5.7％(2/35) of patients were positive in 99TcmO-4 static imaging and 1 patient(2.9％, 1/35) had positive ultrasonography result. The 3-month follow-up showed that 32 cases were cured and the treatment was effective in all 35 patients. Only 1 case recurred after 12-month follow-up, and the effective rate was 96.9％(31/32, 3 cases were lost to follow-up). Conclusion Immunology intervention is an effective way to treat glucocorticoid refractory subacute thyroiditis and should be applied extensively in clinical treatment.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) in breast cancer.Methods Tissue samples of 76 breast cancers and corresponding paired adjacent normal tissues were collected and made into tissue micrcarrays (TMAs).Immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis was performed to detect the expression of LDHA and further analyzed the correlation of LDHA expression and clinicopathological variables and prognosis of breast cancers.Results LDHA was frequently upregulated in breast cancer tissues compared to the normal breast tissues (P ＜ 0.05).High LDHA expression was associated with distant metastasis (P ＜ 0.05) and worse patient prognosis (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions LDHA is closely related to the occurrence and clinical progress of breast cancers.LDHA might be a potential novel molecular marker for diagnosis,prognosis and therapy in breast cancers.

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether quinolinic acid(QA)induces autophagy in PC12 cells and its relationship with glycogen synthase kinase-3β(GSK-3β)/β-catenin related signaling path?ways. METHODS PC12 cells were treated with QA 2.5,5.0 and 10.0 mmol·L-1 for 24 h. The cell viability was determined by MTT assay. Autophagy fluorescent spots labelled form of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3(LC3)was examined by LC3 immunostaining. The expressions of GSK-3β,β-catenin,LC3 and Beclin 1 were determined by Western blotting. RESULTS QA inhibited PC12 cell survival in a concentration-dependent manner,and IC50 was 8.7 mmol · L- 1. Compared with normal control group,QA 2.5,5.0 and 10.0 mmol · L-1 increased autophagic intracellular LC3 fluorescence spots,elevated the expression ratio of LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ and expression of Beclin 1 in PC12 cells(P<0.05). In addition,QA enhanced GSK-3βexpression and decreasedβ-catenin expression(P<0.05,P<0.01). CONCLUSION QA induces autophagy in PC12 cells. This mechanism may be associated with the activation of GSK-3β/β-catenin related signaling pathways.

The development of primary or acquired taxane resistance inevitably becomes to be the main problem.Ixabepilone is effective in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients including those heavily pretreated or resistant to taxanes.Eribulin has been used for the treatment of MBC patients who have received at least two prior chemotherapy regimens.New microtubule-targeting agents are promising to be effective options for patients progressing after standard taxane-containing chemotherapy.

A magnetic extraction sorbent based on Fe3 O4@poly ( methacrylic acid-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) ( Fe3 O4@MAED ) was synthesized using methacrylic acid and ethylene dimethacrylate as monomer and cross-linker, respectively. The magnetic sorbent was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and transmission electron microscopy. At the same time, the Fe3 O4@MAED was used to extract four benzoylurea pesticides in water and juice samples under magnetic dispersive solid phase microextraction ( MDSPME ) format. To obtain the optimal extraction conditions, several parameters, including the amount of sorbent, desorption solvent, extraction and desorption time, pH value, and ionic strength in sample matrix were investigated. Based on this, a fast, simple and sensitive method for the determination of benzoylurea pesticides in water and juice samples was developed by the combination of MDSPME with HPLC equipped with diode array detector. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the developed method possessed expected linear dynamic ranges, coefficients of correlation ( R2>0. 99 ) and sensitivity. The limits of detection (S/N=3) for target analytes were 0. 10-0. 19 μg/L in water and 0. 12-0. 30 μg/L in juice, respectively. The RSDs for intra-day were less than 7% and inter-day RSDs were less than 11%. The developed method was successfully applied to the determination of benzoylurea pesticides residues in water and juice samples and the recoveries of spiked target compounds were in the range of 69. 4%-118. 0%. The results demonstrated that the Fe3 O4@ MAED could extract benzoylurea pesticides effectively through multi-interactions including hydrophobic, hydrogen-bond and ion-exchange interactions between sorbent and analytes.
