Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Xiezhuo Chubi Recipe (XCR) on hyperuricemic patients.
Methods: 99 patients with hyperuricemia were randomly assigned to the XCR group, the Benzbromarone group, and the blank control group. Patients in the XCR group took XCR, one dosage daily, twice per day. Patients in the Benzbromarone group took Benzbromarone Tablet (50 mg each tablet, once per day). Patients in the blank control group were not treated with any drug, but only with clinical observation. Twenty days consisted of one course of treatment. The laboratory data including uric acid, blood routines, urine routines, the liver function, and the renal function were statistically analyzed before and after treatment.
Results: The blood uric acid decreased in the three groups after treatment (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 85.71% in the XCR group, 92.86% in the Benzbromarone group, and 23.33% in the blank control group. There was no statistical difference between the XCR group and the Benzbromarone group (P>0.0167). There was no significant difference in the safety indices such as blood routines, urine routines, liver functions, and renal functions of the XCR group between before and after treatment (P>0.05).
Conclusion: XCR could effectively reduce the uric acid level with higher safety.

Recently, long persistent phosphors (LPPs) have attracted significant attention as promising candidates for biomedical applications. However, the serious decrease in luminescence intensity in tissue still remains a major challenge. Therefore, exploring more competitive LPPs and achieving reproducible tissue imaging is crucial.

The FastPCR software is an integrated tool environment for PCR primer and probe design and for prediction of oligonucleotide properties. The software provides comprehensive tools for designing primers for most PCR and perspective applications, including standard, multiplex, long-distance, inverse, real-time with TaqMan probe, Xtreme Chain Reaction (XCR), group-specific, overlap extension PCR for multifragment assembling cloning, and isothermal amplification (Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification). A program is available to design specific oligonucleotide sets for long sequence assembly by ligase chain reaction and to design multiplexed of overlapping and nonoverlapping DNA amplicons that tile across a region(s) of interest for targeted next-generation sequencing, competitive allele-specific PCR (KASP)-based genotyping assay for single-nucleotide polymorphisms and insertions and deletions at specific loci, among other features.

The chemokine receptor (ChemR) superfamily, which is divided into 4 subfamilies (CXCR, CCR, XCR, and CX3CR), is the main receptors of chemokines in innate immune responses. In the current study, we have identified 27 ChemRs in miiuy croaker: 13 CCR genes, 11 CXCR genes, and 3 XCR genes. Multiple characteristics of these genes, including phylogeny, gene structures, conserved motifs, chromosome locations, evolutionary mechanism, and expression levels upon the bacterial challenge were analyzed.
