RESUMO
ObjectiveTo investigate the pharmacodynamic characteristics and explore the molecular mechanism of Honghua oral liquid (HOL) in relieving neuropathic pain (NP). MethodHealthy male SD rats were randomly assigned into sham group, model group, low-, medium-, high-dose (0.5, 1.0, 2.0 mL·kg-1·d-1, respectively) HOL groups, and a positive drug (pregabalin, 25 mg·kg-1·d-1) group, with 6 rats in each group. Spinal nerve ligation (SNL) of L5 was conducted in other groups except the sham group. Drug administration was performed 3 days after the SNL surgery for 2 consecutive weeks, and samples were collected after the end of the administration. During the treatment period, the mechanical pain threshold and cold pain threshold were determined to measure the pain-relieving effect of HOL. Transcriptome sequencing was performed on hippocampal tissue samples from the sham, model, and high-dose HOL groups, and differentially expressed genes between the sham group and the model group as well as the model group and HOL high-dose group were obtained. After pathway enrichment analysis, we selected the targets which were closely related to neuroinflammation for validation, and predicted the specific binding sites of the major active components in HOL with the targets through molecular docking. In addition, the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to evaluate the effect of HOL on neuroinflammation in NP rats. ResultCompared with the sham group, SNL decreased the mechanical pain threshold and cold pain threshold (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, HOL recovered the mechanical pain threshold and cold pain threshold (P<0.05). The transcriptome data showed that 376 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between the model group and the sham group, including 124 upregulated genes and 252 downregulated genes, and 194 DEGs between the model group and the high-dose HOL group, including 33 upregulated genes and 161 downregulated genes. Among them, insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF1), matrix metallopeptidase-2 (MMP-2), matrix metallopeptidase-14 (MMP-14), erb-B2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (ERBB2), and integrin subunit alpha 5 (ITGA5) associated with NP were selected for further validation. The Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR) results showed that compared with the sham group, the modeling up-gurelated the mRNA levels of the above five molecules in the hippocampus (P<0.01). Compared with model group, HOL down-regulated the mRNA levels of these molecules (P<0.01). The molecular docking results showed that the main active components of safflower, hydroxysafflor yellow A, kaempferol, and quercetin, formed stable hydrogen bonds with the amino acid residues of IGF1, MMP-2, MMP-14, ERBB2, and ITGA5. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) results showed that compared with those in the sham group, the serum levels of TNF-α and IL-10 were out of balance in the model rats (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, HOL lowered the level of the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α (P<0.01) and elevated that of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 (P<0.05). ConclusionHOL exerts analgesic effect on SNL rats by inhibiting neuroinflammation.

It preliminarily indicates that the preparation has certain clinical development value.
RESUMO
On the basis of the qualitative preparation quality markers of Yulian Decoction, we screened out the quantitative markers and explored a general strategy for analyzing the component migration in Chinese herbal pieces, preparations, and plasma. A method capable of simultaneously determining 28 chemical components in Yulian Decoction was established based on HPLC-MS/MS. This method was used to determine the migrated components in herbal pieces-lyophilized powder preparations-rat plasma after administration of Yulian Decoction. Liquid chromatography was performed under the following conditions: C_(18)-reversed phase chromatographic column(2.1 mm × 100 mm, 1.8 μm); acetonitrile-water(containing 0.1% formic acid) as the mobile phase for gradient elution; the flow rate of 0.2 mL·min~(-1). Electrospray ionization source was adopted for mass spectrometry detection, in which positive and negative ion modes and multiple reaction monitoring were applied. Confirmed by the methodological investigation in linear range, recovery(95.48%-103.4%), precision(RSD, 0.45%-3.8%), stability, and repeatability(RSD, 5.6%-14%), the established method was suitable for the detection and quantification of the components in Yulian Decoction. The results showed that in the lyophilized powder of Yulian Decoction, berberine was greater than 5% in mass fraction, magnoflorine, epiberberine, coptisine, palmatine, and limonin in the range of 1%-5%, and dehydroevodiamine, evodiamine, rutaecarpine, costunolide, and dehydrocostus lactone in the range of 0.002%-1%. Of the 28 components detected in pieces, 27 were found to migrate to the lyophilized powder, and 11 were detected in rat plasma. Fifteen components were preliminarily determined as quantitative preparation quality markers for Yulian Decoction, including berberine, epiberberine, coptisine, palmatine, evodiamine, rutaecarpine, limonin, costunolide, dehydrocostus lactone, magnoflorine, jatrorrhizine, columbamine, groenlandicine, chlorogenic acid, and neochlorogenic acid.

It was 11.7% in the age group of 0.5-<1 year, and reached 93.3% in people aged 45-<60 years and 93.8% in people aged ≥60 years. The positive rates of GⅡ.4-specific IgA antibody ranged from 50.8% to 88.8% in different age groups with 50.8% in people aged 0.5-<1 year, and 86.7%-90.7% in people aged 12-<18 years and older. The titer of GⅠ.1 HBGA-blocking antibody generally increased with age. The antibody titer in populations aged 0.5-<12 years old was lower than that in those aged 18 years and above (GMT: 2.98-4.07 vs 8.21-11.62, P<0.001), and the titer in people of 12-<18 years old was lower than that in those of 45 years old and above (GMT: 5.21 vs 11.03-11.62, P<0.05). No obvious change with age was observed in the titer of GⅡ.4 HBGA-blocking antibody excepting the significant difference between populations of 2-<5 and 22-<45 years old (GMT: 26.73 vs 11.87, P<0.01).@*Conclusions@#This study revealed the characteristics of serum NoV GⅠ.1- and GⅡ.4-specific IgG, IgA and HBGA blocking antibodies in populations of different age groups in central and eastern China through analyzing their positive rates and titers and provided preliminary seroepidemiological data for the development of NoV vaccines in China.
RESUMO
Objective: In this paper,the effect of microemulsion in Chuanqi ophthalmic microemulsion in situ gel was investigated. Method: The effect of microemulsion was confirmed by the parallel comparison between the Chuanqi microemulsion in situ gel and normal in situ gel,including study of pharmaceutical characterization and tissue distribution. Result: The average particle sizes of Chuanqi microemulsion in situ gel and normal in situ gel were (38.20±0.13) nm and (985±37) nm,respectively.Microemulsion could maintain the properties of nanocarrier in a microemulsion in situ gel composite system.The result of tissue distribution study showed that only ligustilide could be detected.This was related to the nature of these three indicator components(ligustrazine,ligustilide and astragaloside A).The common logarithm of oil and water partition coefficient of ligustilide(lgP) was 2.87,which was consistent with the range of lgP of ideal ophthalmic drugs(lgP=2.0-3.0).The ligustilide from Chuanqi microemulsion in situ gel could be detected in the cornea,vitreous body and retina,and this compound from normal in situ gel could only be detected in the cornea with low content.At the same time,microemulsion could increase the content of ligustilide in corneal tissues. Conclusion: The characteristics of microemulsion nanocarriers can increase the solubility of ligustilide,compared with normal in situ gel,it can be better distributed in the tears outside the corneal,it reaches the cornea with a higher concentration,and forms a corneal concentration gradient,and ligustilide is transported from the anterior ocular region to the posterior ocular region through the transocular barrier.
RESUMO
Objective To detect and analyze enteroviruses causing suspected aseptic meningitis in a kindergarten in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province. Methods Viral RNA was extracted from samples and cDNA was prepared by reverse transcription. PCR was performed to amplify the partial sequences of the 5′-untranslated region ( UTR) and VP1 gene of enteroviruses. Serotypes of the viruses were determined by com-paring the homology between the partial sequences of VP1 gene. Phylogenetic tree of the partial VP1 se-quences was constructed using MEGA6. Results This study included seven patients and twenty-six asymp-tomatic students. Coxsakievirus A10 (CV-A10) was detected in 48. 5% of the students and echovirus 6 (Echo 6) in 21. 2%. Besides, 12. 1% of the students might be co-infected by the two viruses. Among the seven patients, six were infected by CV-A10 and the other one might have co-infection. According to the phylogenetic analysis, CV-A10 strains detected in this study were closely related to those isolated in China in recent years, including the strains isolated in Xiamen in 2015 and Yunnan in 2017, while the Echo 6 strains were phylogenetically related to those isolated in Yunnan, Guangzhou and Shandong in 2014. Conclusions CV-A10 and Echo 6 were detected in the cases with suspected aseptic meningitis and had close phylogenetic relationships to the strains appeared in China in recent years.

Objective@#To construct the prokaryotic plasmid expressing the recombinant protein Coxsackie virus A6 VP1 or VP2 and prepare the antiserum of rabbit anti-CVA6 VP1 or anti-CVA6 VP2.@*Methods@#CVA6 VP1and VP2 gene fragments were amplified by reverse transcription PCR and inserted into the prokaryotic expression vectors. The recombinant plasmids were expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3). After induction with Isopropyl β-D-Thiogalactoside (IPTG), the fusion proteins were obtained, and then purified by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and gel extraction. The polyclonal antibodies were prepared by immunizing rabbits with the fusion proteins and analyzed with Western blot(WB) and indirect immunofluorescence assay(IFA).@*Results@#The prokaryotic expression vector of CVA6 VP1 or VP2 was confirmed by PCR, double enzyme digestion and sequencing. CVA6 VP1 and VP2 fusion proteins with high purity were obtained. WB and IFA were used to identify polyclonal antibodies.@*Conclusions@#The CVA6 VP1 and VP2 prokaryotic expression vectors were successfully constructed, and the recombinant CVA6 VP1 and VP2 proteins and their corresponding polyclonal antibodies were obtained.
RESUMO
Dengue virus ( DENV) threatens the lives of hundreds of millions of people every year. Animal model is an effective tool for virus pathogenesis research and vaccine evaluation. At present, the de-velopment of animal models of DENV infection and disease has been challenging, as epidemic DENV does not naturally infect non-human species. Animal models of dengue virus infection are mainly non-human pri-mate ( NHP) model and mouse model. NHPs have been used to study dengue infection and candidate vac-cines because they can sustain viral replication in relevant cell types and develop a robust immune response, but they do not develop overt disease. However, NHP models are not suitable for early preclinical studies be-cause the cost of using these animals is high. In contrast, mouse models that are established mainly by using wild-type and immunodeficient mice can be more economical for preclinical evaluation of dengue vaccines. Overall, every model has its advantages and disadvantages and is differentially suited for studies of dengue pathogenesis and immunopathogenesis and/or preclinical testing of antiviral drugs.
