Objective To evaluate the bioequivalence of two formulations of minocycline hydrochloride capsules administered orally after fasting administration and fed administration.Methods An open-label,randomized,two-period,self-crossover design was employed to assess the bioequivalence study.Twenty-eight healthy subjects were enrolled in both fasting and fed groups,with each period involving a single administration of either the reference formulation or the test formulation of 50 mg,separated by a washout period of 7 days.The concentration of minocycline in human plasma was determined by HPLC-MS/MS and was used for calculating pharmacokinetic parameters and evaluating the bioequivalence of the test formulation and reference formulation.Results After oral administration of test and reference formulations of minocycline under fasting condition,the Cmax Values of minocycline were(541±137)ng·mL-1 for the test formulation and(558±140)ng·mL-1for the reference formulation.The AUC0-t values were(8 347±1 986)h·ng·mL-1 for the test and(8 205±1 790)h·ng·mL-1 for the reference.The t1/2 values were(18.2±2.84)h for the test and(18.0±3.05)h for the reference.After oral administration of the test and reference formulations of minocycline under fed condition,the Cmax values of minocycline were(349±72.1)ng·mL-1 for the test and(352±73.2)ng·mL-1for the reference.The AUC0-twere(6 428±1 077)h·ng·mL-1 for the test and(6 588±1 118)h·ng·mL-1 for the reference.The t1/2values were(18.5±3.10)h for the test and(18.4±3.21)h for the reference.Under fasting condition,the 90% confidence intervals for the geometric mean ratios of Cmax,AUC0-t,and AUC0-∞ between the test and reference formulations were(90.84%,101.46% ),(95.2%,102.8% ),and(95.31%,102.71% ),respectively.Under fed conditions,the 90% confidence intervals for the geometric mean ratios of Cmax,AUC0-t,and AUC0-∞ between the test formulation and the reference formulation were(94.71%,103.42% ),(95.40%,99.83% ),and(95.79%,100.02% ),respectively.Conclusions Bioequivalence of the two minocycline formulations was demonstrated after fasting administration and fed administration in a healthy Chinese population.

Background: Classical swine fever virus (CSFV), the causative agent of classical swine fever (CFS), is a highly contagious disease that poses a serious threat to Chinese pig populations. Objectives: Many provinces of China, such as Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Heilongjiang, and Liaoning provinces, have reported epidemics of CSFV, while the references to the epidemic of CSFV in Yunnan province are rare. This study examined the epidemic characteristics of the CSFV in Yunnan province. Methods: In this study, 326 tissue samples were collected from different regions in Yunnan province from 2015 to 2021. A reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), sequences analysis, and phylogenetic analysis were performed for the pathogenic detection and analysis of these 326 clinical specimens. Results: Approximately 3.37% (11/326) of specimens tested positive for the CSFV by RTPCR, which is lower than that of other regions of China. Sequence analysis of the partial E2 sequences of eleven CSFV strains showed that they shared 89.0–100.0% nucleotide (nt) and 95.0–100.0% amino acid (aa) homology, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis showed that these novel isolates belonged to the subgenotypes 2.1c and 2.1d, with subgenotype 2.1c being predominant. Conclusions The CSFV was sporadic in China’s Yunnan province from 2015 to 2021. Both 2.1c and 2.1d subgenotypes were found in this region, but 2.1c was dominant.

Objective:To summarize clinical characteristics of and treatment experience with patients with critical illnesses in a dermatological ward.Methods:All patients with serious or life-threatening conditions, who were hospitalized at the dermatological ward of the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from July 9, 2011 to December 31, 2020, were collected, and their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic characteristics, disease types and proportions, main complications, causes of serious or life-threatening conditions, important treatment measures and outcomes were summarized, and causes of death were also analyzed and discussed.Results:A total of 1 057 patients with critical illnesses were collected, with a male-to-female ratio of 1∶1.11, and 64.81% of them aged 18 to 65 years. The types of diseases mainly included drug eruptions (332 cases) , connective tissue diseases (226 cases) , bullous skin diseases (104 cases) , psoriasis (57 cases) , erythroderma (45 cases) , infectious skin diseases (67 cases) , etc. Among them, psoriasis (39 cases) and erythroderma (32 cases) mostly occurred in males, and connective tissue diseases (168 cases) mostly occurred in females. Common complications mainly involved infections, important organ damage or dysfunction, hypoalbuminemia, and fluid, electrolyte and acid-base imbalances. A total of 94 patients were diagnosed with life-threatening conditions, which were found to be mainly caused by primary skin diseases, hematologic abnormalities, respiratory failure, nervous system abnormalities, renal failure, sepsis, fluid, electrolyte and acid-base imbalances, etc. During the management of critical illnesses, 43 patients were treated with high-dose glucocorticoid pulse therapy, 264 were treated with gamma-globulin pulse therapy, 355 were transfused with other blood products, and 34 received special therapies such as hemoperfusion/immunoadsorption therapy, plasma exchange, dialysis, artificial liver support therapy; 42 patients were transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) , 12 were transferred to the department of surgery for operations, and 12 were transferred to the department of obstetrics and gynecology for delivery or induction of labor. After treatment, 989 patients (93.57%) achieved improvement and were discharged. A total of 14 patients (1.32%) died, of whom 7 died of secondary sepsis, 2 died of severe pulmonary infections, 2 died of asphyxia caused by respiratory mucosa shedding-induced airway obstruction, the other 3 died of gastrointestinal hemorrhage, cerebral hemorrhage and neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus, respectively.Conclusions:Critical cases in the dermatological ward mainly suffered from serious skin diseases such as severe drug eruptions, connective tissue diseases and bullous skin diseases, as well as complications such as severe underlying diseases, severe organ dysfunction, sepsis or severe fluid, electrolyte and acid-base imbalances. In terms of treatment, it is of critical significance to make a clear diagnosis and assess the severity of disease as early as possible, monitor and prevent possible complications, and to consult with specialists in relevant disciplines in time.

Objective: To investigate the effect and related mechanism of apolipoprotein A5 (ApoA5) on adipogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSC). Methods: Subcutaneous adipose tissue was obtained from 40 patients undergoing abdominal surgery at our hospital from February to July 2015. After induction of human AMSC by collagenase digestion, the adipose tissue was induced to differentiate into mature adipocytes and treated with ApoA5 at 600 and 1 200 ng/ml, respectively (ApoA5 intervention groups). Cells treated without ApoA5 protein were used as control group. The cells were harvested on the 7th and 14th day of differentiation, and the following assays were performed: (1) the effect of ApoA5 on TG content was measured by a TG assay kit; (2) RT-qPCR assay was used to detect the effect of ApoA5 on aP2 and FAS mRNA expression; (3) the effect of ApoA5 on the expression of CIDEC mRNA and protein was detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot; (4) the effect of ApoA5 on the expression of C/EBPβ mRNA and protein was detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot; (5) using lentiviral transfection technique, we overexpressed the gene of CIDEC in AMSC and cells were divided into lentiviral negative control group, lentiviral over-expressed CIDEC group and lentiviral over-expressed CIDEC+ApoA5 intervention group (the ApoA5 intervention concentration was 1 200 ng/ml). Thereby, we examined the effect of ApoA5 on the above indicators in adipogenic differentiation of AMSC in the case of CIDEC overexpression. Results: (1) Effect of ApoA5 on TG content in AMSC: on the 7th and 14th day after the intervention, the TG levels were lower in ApoA5 600 and 1 200 ng/ml group AMSC than those in the control group (all P<0.05). (2) The effect of ApoA5 on the expression of aP2 and FAS mRNA in AMSC: on the 7th day after intervention, the expression levels of aP2 and FAS mRNA were significantly lower in ApoA5 600 and 1 200 ng/ml group than those in the control group (all P<0.05). On the 14th day after intervention, the expression levels of aP2 and FAS mRNA were lower in ApoA5 600 and 1 200 ng/ml group than those in the control group (all P<0.05). (3) The effect of ApoA5 on the mRNA and protein expression of CIDEC in AMSC: on the 7th day after intervention, the mRNA and relative protein expression levels of CIDEC were significantly lower in AMSC of ApoA5 600 and 1 200 ng/ml group than those of the control group (all P<0.05). On the 14th day after intervention, the mRNA and relative protein levels of CIDEC were further reduced in ApoA5 600 and 1 200 ng/ml AMSC groups than those in the control group (all P<0.05). (4) The effect of ApoA5 on C/EBPβ mRNA and protein expression in AMSC: on the 7th day after intervention, C/EBPβ mRNA and relative protein expression levels were significantly lower in ApoA5 600 and 1 200 ng/ml group than those in the control group (all P<0.05). On the 14th day after intervention, the levels of C/EBPβ mRNA and relative protein were lower in ApoA5 600 and 1 200 ng/ml group than those in the control group (all P<0.05). (5) The effect of ApoA5 on the content of TG in AMSC after CIDEC overexpression: on the 7th and 14th day after intervention, the TG contents in AMSC were higher in the lentivirus over-expressed CIDEC group than in the lentivirus negative control group (both P<0.05). However, TG contents in AMSC were similar between the over-expressed CIDEC group and the CIDEC+ApoA5 over-expression group (both P>0.05). (6) The effect of ApoA5 on the expression of aP2 and FAS mRNA in AMSC after CIDEC overexpression: on the 7th day after intervention, the expression levels of aP2 and FAS mRNA in AMSC were higher in the lentivirus over-expressed CIDEC group than in the lentivirus negative control group (both P<0.05). On the 14th day after intervention, the expression level of aP2 mRNA in the AMSC was higher in the lentivirus over-expressed CIDEC group than in the lentivirus negative control group (P<0.05). On the 7th and 14th day after intervention, the expression levels of aP2 and FAS mRNA in AMSC were similar between the lentivirus over-expressed CIDEC group and the lentivirus over-expressed CIDEC+ApoA5 group (all P>0.05). (7) The effect of ApoA5 on the expression of C/EBPβ mRNA and protein in AMSC after CIDEC overexpression: on the 7th day after intervention, the mRNA and relative protein expressions of C/EBPβ in AMSC were higher in lentivirus-overexpressed CIDEC group than in lentivirus negative control group (both P <0.05). On the 14th day after intervention, C/EBPβ mRNA and protein expression levels in AMSC were higher in the lentivirus over-expressed CIDEC group than in the lentivirus negative control group (both P<0.05). On the 7th and 14th day after intervention, the expressions of C/EBPβ mRNA and protein in AMSC were similar between lentivirus over-expressed CIDEC group and lentivirus over-expression CIDEC+ApoA5 intervention group (all P>0.05). Conclusions ApoA5 can inhibit the adipogenic differentiation of AMSC,and this effect may be mediated by down-regulating the expression of CIDEC. Furthermore, our results indicate that CIDEC could be considered as a key factor in adipogenic differentiation.

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the value of serum galactomannan (GM) in the diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods We enrolled 60 COPD patients in the study, including 19 IPA and 41 non-IPA cases.We examined serum GM of the patients by ELISA, evaluate the value of serum GM test for the diagnosis of IPA in patients with COPD, and compared the GM values before and after treatment.Results With 0.5 as the positive cutoff value, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of serum GM were 57.9%, 95.3%, 84.6%, and 83.0%, respectively, with a high specificity and a low sensitivity.The 7 IPA cases showed a significantly decreased GM value after treatment as compared with the baseline (0.30±0.21 vs 1.48±1.37, P=0.004).Conclusion The serum GM test has a limited value in the diagnosis of IPA in patients with COPD, but dynamic monitoring of the changes of the serum GM value may help evaluate the patient's condition.

Psoriasis is a common autoimmune disease and mainly affects skin,joints,or both.Psoriasis is also a chronic relapsing disorder that can cause physical and psychological burdens to patients.Currently it is widely accepted that the immune system is involved in the development of psoriasis.Th17 cells,a subtype of CD4 +T lymphocytes,are characterized by its ability to secrete proinflammatory cytokine IL-17.Recent studies indicate that Th17 cells play a predominant role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and other immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.Moreover,targeted therapies have been developed and approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis.This review summarizes the role of Th17 cells in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and several therapeutic biologics targeting this pathway in psoriasis.
