Objective To classify all the plant pollen allergens, each allergen sequence available was compared with protein family database. After that, the appearance and taxonomic distribution of each protein family could be known. When made reference to evolutionary analysis, a regular rule of the distribu-tion of all plant pollen allergens could be concluded. Methods Protein family memberships of each allergen were assigned by comparing the sequences with the Pfam database. Representative members of the most a-bundant pollen allergen families were compared with the Uniprot database using the BLAST server. Acces-sion number of all the interesting homologous could be obtained and all the sequence information could be ac-quired by Batch Entrez. Finally, the evolutionary trees were drawn with the help of MEGA4.0 software. Re-sults One hundred and sixty-eight pollen allergens were classified into 26 protein families. Profilins, pollen _allerg_1 and EF hands constituted the most abundant pollen allergen families. Profilins and EF hands oc-curred in almost all allergenic plant families, whereas allergenic Expansins, FAD_binding proteins, Amb_V allergens and Thaumatins were confined to single taxon. Conclusion It is concluded that the highly con-served sequences of allergens families such as Profilin may be one of the most important reasons of the cross reactivities in allergic diseases. The classification of pollen allergens may be helpful to clinical practice and basic research.

Tea polyphenols (TPs), major biological active constituents of green tea, exert moderate and selective anticancer effects. Molecular mechanisms of TPs in cancer prevention and treatment involve multiple potential molecular targets. TPs inhibit growth factor receptor-mediated signal transduction pathway, decrease the activities of mitogen activated protein kinases and activator protein transcription factor-1, block nuclear factor-kappaB signaling pathway, reduce proteasome activity, lower overexpression of COX-2, subside dihydrofolate reductase and telomerase, and inhibit DNA methylation and matrix metalloproteinases. Furthermore, TPs enhance the inhibitory effect on the growth of cancers by traditional anticancer drugs or targeted antitumor drugs in vitro and in vivo and reverse multidrug resistances of cancer cells to vincristine, doxorubicin, and 5-fluorouracil. Besides, TPs reduce the nephrotoxicity induced by cisplatin, ameliorate irinotecan-induced side effects in the small intestine of mice, and decrease bleomycin-caused DNA damage in human leukocytes. TPs also increase antitumor activity of vaccine through immunological modulation. TPs play roles of the augmentation of antitumor effects, the reversal of multidrug resistance, and the reduction of side effects of chemotherapeutic drugs. TPs could be used as biochemical modulators in cancer therapy.

Objective To investigate the effect of Atorvastatin Combined Naoxintong Capsule treats to cerebral infarction and carotid atherosclerosis.Methods 134 patients with cerebral infarction and carotid atherosclerosis were diagnosed by MRI or CT scan.They were randomly divided into two groups.67 cases were given atorvastatin versus aspirin received routine treatment in the control group and 67 cases were used Naoxintong capsule in observation group on the basis of routine treatment in the observation group.The blood lipid,serum high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level,neural function defect score (NIHSS),carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) were comperred before and after treatment in two groups for treated with 1 courses (6 months).Results The blood lipid had no significant difference between two groups before and after treatment (P ＜ 0.05).The IMT,NIHSS score of high sensitivity C-reactive protein levels had no significant difference in two groups before and after treatment (P ＜ 0.05).The scores of NIHSS,IMT,high sensitive C-reactive protein level respectively (10.08 ± 1.82) ％,(1.06 ± 0.13)mm,(3.89 ± 1.41) mg/L of observation group were more decreased significantly than the control group (respectively (13.92 ±2.01)％,(1.24 ±0.15)mm,(5.02 ± 1.52) mg/L after treatment.Conclusion Atorvastatin Combined Naoxintong Capsule in treatment of cerebral infarction and carotid artery gruel kind hardening shows good therapeutic effect,it is worth for clinical use.

Objective To explore the effect on the neural endocrine and gastro intestinal functions when using Chinese traditional medicine in the treatment after the gyno-pathy operation of the wond's complete cutting off. Methods To compare 86 postoperative cases of gyno-pathy (womb's complete cutting off) being treated partly with Chinese medicine wiht the same 75 cases treated during the same period without Chinese medicine in order to investigate the different effect on the recovery of their neural endocrine and gastric intestinal functions. HZ Results The result shows that the patients in the tested group can recouer quickly while the neural endocrine and the gastro intestinal functions of the opposite group cannot recouer or recover very slowly in a long time. Conclusion Traditional Chinese medicine is rather helpul for the recovery of thd postoperative gyno-pathy patients if it is correctly used .

Several factors influencing the extraction of tetrandrine and demethyltetrandrine from Chinese medicinal herbs, Stephania tetrandra S. Moore were studied by means of Ortogonal method. The optimum Condition was eight hours steeping, in 33.3% ammonia in absolute alcohol for four hours under ultrasonic agitation. Tctrandrine aud demethyltetrandrino were detected by HPLC. The contents were 0.678% and 0.616%, the detection limits were 3.87?10-3and 0.48?10-3 mmol/L respectively.

Several resistant characteristics of Glycyrrhiza uralensis seeds were studied. The results showed that hard seed can resist attack from fungi or bacteria. It can endure high temperature for 4h at 80℃ and 10 min at 100℃, but when at 100℃ for 1 h it loses its germinating power. The seeds stored for 4 years do not reduce viability. After long period storage for 13 years,about 60% of the seed still retains its germinating power.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of brucellosis presenting as fever of unknown origin in non-endemic area.Methods Clinical data of 11 patients with fever of unknown origin,who were admitted in a general hospital of non-endemic area from Jan 2013 to Jan 2017 and diagnosed as brucellosis by blood culture,were retrospectively analyzed.Results There were 8 males and 3 females aged 40-70 years.The patients were admitted with or without accompanied symptoms.The patients were initially presented in rheumatology (1 case),neurology (1 case),emergency (4 cases),hematology (1 case),orthopedics (2 cases) and pneumology (2 cases) departments,respectively.The time from onset to presentation was 0.5-7.0 months.The clinical manifestations were nonspecific,and blood cultures of Brucella were positive between 2 to 5 weeks with a mean of 3 weeks.Time to diagnosis was 1 to 9 months with a mean of 4 months.All patients were transferred to infectious hospital when the diagnosis was confirmed.The telephone follow-up showed that none of the patients had fever after discharged.Conclusion Brucellosis should not be neglected in the differential diagnosis of FUO in non-endemic area,and blood culture is important for a definitive diagnosis.

Objective Research of chromosome’s influence and curative effect on first and second generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy to CML patients.Methods Giving conventional genetic analysis to 80 Ph+ CML patients,and contrast CML patients’chromosome changing situation with first and second generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy.Results There were 1 1 cases with other abnormalities of chromosome number and structure in 80 cases of Ph+ CML patients,and 10 cases were resistant or intolerant to imatinib.35 patients (87.5%)achieve sustained complete cytogenetic remission (CCyR)who treated with imatinib (TKI-Ⅰ)in the total 40 cases,in these 35 patients,7 cases (17.5%)got CCyR in 3 months;10 cases (25%)got CCyR in 6 months,13 cases (32.5%)got CCyR in 12 months,and 5 cases (12.5%)got CCyR in 18 months.33 patients (82.5%)achieve sustained completecytogenetic remission (CCyR)who treated with dasatinib/nilotinib (TKI-Ⅱ)in the total 40 cases,in these 33 cases,16 cases (40%)got CCyR in 3 months;9 cases (22.5%)got CCyR in 6 months,5 cases (1 2.5%)got CCyR in 1 2 months,and 3 cases (7.5%)got CCyR in 1 8 months.Conclusion Ph+ CML patients combined with other chromosome abnormity were more easily to be resistant or intolerant to imatinib,espe-cially in acceleratd phase and blastic phase.First and second generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor have little difference to treat with CML patients in long time efficacy,but the second generation effect is better than first generation in short time effica-cy.
