Background: This protocol aims to assess the efficacy and safety of Botulinum Toxin Type A (BTTA) for the treatment of neuropathic pain (NPP) in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI).

Methods: We will retrieve databases in Cochrane Library, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Excerpta Medica Database, PsychINFO, the Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure from the beginning to the March 1, 2020. We will consider any potential studies on assessing the efficacy and safety of BTTA for the treatment of NPP in patients with SCI without limitations of language and publication status. Cochrane risk of bias will be used to assess the risk of bias for all included trials. RevMan 5.3 software will be utilized to synthesize the extracted data and to analyze those data.

Results: This study will appraise the efficacy and safety based on the current evidence of BTTA for the treatment of NPP in patients with SCI.

Conclusion: This study will exert high quality clinical trials for exploring the efficacy and safety of BTTA in treating NPP in patients with SCI.

We previously documented successful resolution of skeletal and dental disease in the infantile and late-onset murine models of hypophosphatasia (HPP), with a single injection of an adeno-associated serotype 8 vector encoding mineral-targeted TNAP (AAV8-TNAP-D10). Here, we conducted dosing studies in both HPP mouse models. A single escalating dose from 4x108 up to 4x1010 (vg/b) was intramuscularly injected into 4-day-old Alpl-/- mice (an infantile HPP model) and a single dose from 4x106 up to 4x109 (vg/b) was administered to 8-week-old AlplPrx1/Prx1 mice (a late-onset HPP model).

Innovation Center Laboratory for Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), College of Veterinary Medicine, China Agricultural University, Beijing, China.

To address the severe problem of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) resistance, this study identified a single component from traditional Chinese medicine that, when used in combination with existing antibiotics, enhances the therapeutic efficacy of the antimicrobial drugs. Using the micro broth dilution method and the checkerboard dilution method, susceptibility tests were conducted on ten commonly used β-lactam antibiotics against eleven strains of MRSA. It was found that cefquinome sulfate exhibits synergistic activity with PROs.
