1.Research on collaborative innovation in traditional Chinese medicine of China based on patent cooperation network.
China Journal of Chinese Materia Medica 2015;40(6):1212-1218
In the situation of global completion, collaborative innovation is becoming increasingly important because its advantage in risk avoiding and innovation efficiency. In order to explore the model of collaborative innovation and its evolution in traditional Chinese medicine of China, the cooperation in traditional Chinese medicine patents of China from 1985 to 2013 has been analyzed by using the method of scientometrics and social network analysis. It is proved that, though the number of grated cooperative patents has increased sharply during the last thirty years, the degree of cooperation innovation in traditional Chinese medicine of China is still not high. Moreover, in spite of the individual subject' s leading role in the past domestic collaborative innovation in traditional Chinese medicine of China, the institutions have been more and more powerful and achieved great improvement. At last, core institutions, represented by universities have played an important role in the collaborative innovation of domestic institutions, because they are key links between many institutions and promote the transferring and diffusion of knowledge.

Objective To investigate the effects ofviaminate on the proliferation and differentiation of HaCaT cells,a human keratinocyte cell line.Methods Cultured HaCaT cells were treated with various concentrations (2,5,10,15,20,25 and 30?g/mL) of viaminate for various durations.The cell proliferation was assessed by MTT method,the changes of cell cycle and apoptosis rate by flow cytometry,the changes of keratin 10 and involucrin mRNA expressions by semi-quantitative reverse transcription PCR.Results The proliferation of HaCaT cells was inhibited by the treatment with viaminate of≥2?g/mL for 48 h,and the inhibition rate was raised with the increase of treatment time and dosage.The viaminate of 30?g/mL inhibited the proliferation of HaCaT cells by 57.67% and 82.00% at 48 and 72 h after the incubation respectively,and elevated the mRNA expression of involucrin from 40.80% to 156.12%,decreased the mRNA expression of keratin 10 from 96.46% to 14.60%.The mRNA expression of involucrin increased with the elevation of viarninate dosage.Under the treatment with viaminate for 48 h,the cell population at G_1 phase significantly increased,that at S and G_2 phases decreased;the switching of G_1 to G_2 was inhibited;but the cell apoptosis was not affected.Conclusion Viaminate could inhibit the proliferation and induce the differentiation of keratinocytes.

Chinese Medical Ethics 1995;0(02):-
Medical students' education of medical ethics is now influenced by many unfavorable factors,such as absence of humanities quality,weakening belief in ideality and shock from the market economy.General education may play an important role in strengthening humanities quality and belief in ideality among medical students,and correcting their cognition of the market economy.Therefore,it is necessary to deepen general education on strengthening medical students' education of medical ethics.

OBJECTIVETo observe the inhibitory effect of gefitineb on the proliferation and its inducing effect on the apoptosis of mouse I-10 Leydig testicular cancer cells in vitro.
METHODSWe treated I-10 Leydig testicular cancer cells of mice with gefitineb at 0, 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, and 40 µmol/L. Then we determined the inhibitory effect of gefitineb on the growth of the cells by MTT, detected their early and late apoptosis by Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide double staining and Hoechst 33258 nuclear staining, respectively, and observed the expressions of apoptosis-related proteins Bcl-2, Bax and caspase 3/9 by Western blot.
RESULTSCompared with the blank control group, gefitineb significantly inhibited the proliferation of the I-10 cells at 10 and 20 µmol/L (P < 0.05). The survival rate of the cells was (32.4 ± 2.8)% (P < 0.01) and their early and late apoptosis rates were (26.7 ± 4.2)% and (59.33 ± 10.2)% in the 40 µmol/L group, significantly different from those in the control (P < 0.05 and P <0.01). In comparison with the blank control group, gefitineb at 10, 20, and 40 µmol/L increased the expression of pro-apoptotic protein Bax by (41.9 ± 7.1), (60.1 ± 9.8), and (69.0 ± 11.3)% (all P < 0.05), decreased that of apoptosis-inhibitory protein Bcl-2 by (50.3 ± 8.9), (63.9 ± 6.9), and (88.7 ± 13.9)% (all P < 0.05), and elevated that of the cleft proteins caspase-3 by (69.0 ± 6.9)% (P < 0.05), (71.5 ± 8.1)% (P < 0.05), and (110.9 ± 14.2)% (P < 0.01) and caspase-9 by (51.8 ± 4.9), (54.7 ± 6.7), and (43.8 ± 11.8)% (all P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONGefitineb can increase the cytotoxicity of I-10 Leydig testicular cancer cells of mice and induce their apoptosis via the mitochondria-mediated apoptosis signaling pathway.

Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2017;48(5):962-970
Objective: To clone the geranyl pyrophosphate synthase gene from Swertia mussotii (SmGPPS), analyze the bioinformation of SmGPPS, and perform the gene expression. Methods: According to the SmGPPS gene sequence of transcriptome of S. mussotii, the specific primers were designed, the cDNA complete sequences was obtained by RT-PCR and the sequence was analyzed using bioinformatics. Prokaryotic expression vector pET-28a-SmGPPS was constructed and transformed into Escherichia coli BL-21 (DE3) for expression under 37℃ and induced by 1 mmol/L IPTG. The relative expression of gene SmGPPS in the leaf, stem, and flower of S. mussotii was also studied. Results: The results showed that SmGPPS cDNA complete sequences had a length of 1 119 bp encoding 372 amino acid residues. And the protein secondary and tertiary structures were analyzed and forecasted. The SmGPPS protein shared high identity with other GPPS proteins of plants. The SDS-PAGE results showed that the expressed proteins were consistent with the anticipated size. Relative RT-PCR analysis indicated that SmGPPS showed the highest transcript abundance in the leaf. Conclusion: This work will provide a foundation for further functional research of SmGPPS protein and increasing the product of iridoid compound by genetic engineering in S. mussotii.

Objective:To compare two methods for the determination of compound cod-liver oil emulsion. Methods:The content of ciprofloxacin in compound cod-liver oil emulsion was determined by HPLC and UV, respectively. The determination by HPLC was performed on a Thermo C18 column (150 mm ×4.6 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase was 0.025 mol·L-1phosphate-acetonitrile (87∶13)andpHwasadjustedto3.0±0.1withtriethylamine. Thedetectionwavelengthwas277nmandtheflowratewas1.5ml·min-1. The detection wavelength of UV was 277 nm. Results:The average recovery of HPLC and UV was 100. 44% and 100. 84% with RSD of 1. 01% and 1. 09% (n=9), respectively. The detection results of the two methods were compared by paired sample t-test, and no statistically significant difference was found (P>0. 05). Conclusion:The two methods are specific and accurate, and can be used for the determination of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride in compound cod-liver oil emulsion.
