Objective To establish the fingerprint detecting standard for Tanreqing NaCl Injection. Methods Using baicalin as reference substance to calibrate the common peaks by HPLC-ELSD. According to the technical requirements on fingerprint of traditional Chinese medicine injection, their relative retention times and peak area ratios were calculated and the similarity of ten batchs of samples was determined. Results On the basis of systematic methodology, ten batches of injection samples were tested and analyzed so as to establish HPLC fingerprint for the injection. Conclusion The relative retention times and peak area ratios of 16 common peaks on HPLC fingerprint all conform to the requirement. So the established fingerprint can be used as the one of important foundations for quality control of Tanreqing NaCl Injection.

OBJECTIVE:
To establish a rapid method for EBV detection with loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), and to make it as a clue for early diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cancer.
METHOD:
EBV DNA was fast extracted from samples after boiling, while the whole detection will be finished within an hour with specific amplification of EBV gene by LAMP.
RESULT:
High specificity was shown from EBV detection of 33 clinical samples. Comparing with PCR, LAMP is more simple and convenient to perform under isothermal conditions, and require no special apparatus, thus, it is more economical and practical.
CONCLUSION
LAMP analysis of EBV may be an efficient and easy way for clinical diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Bone metastasis-caused pain (BMP) is a common complication of cancer, and the incidence has been on the rise with the increase in the overall prevalence of cancer, threatening the survival and quality of life of patients. BMP is a kind of special pain with the characteristics of inflammatory pain and neuropathic pain, but is different from the two. Therefore, its pathogenesis is very complicated, and it is of great significance to understand the pathogenesis. The currently available studies mainly focused on osteoclast activation, changes in the bone microenvironment, glial cell activation, spinal cord neuron activation, and miRNA dysregulation. Modern therapies include the three-step analgesics, bisphosphonates, palliative radiotherapy, and interventional therapy for bone metastases, which show definite efficacy in short term. However, the long-term effect is unsatisfactory due to the adverse reactions, addiction, and drug resistance. Studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has definite curative effect on BMP, which is safe, enhances efficacy, reduces toxicity, and boosts immunity. Moreover, it exerts the effect through multiple components, multiple targets, and multiple pathways. As a result, it has unique advantages in the prevention and treatment of BMP and has become a research focus. This paper summarizes the research on the pathogenesis of BMP, the intervention of TCM (compound Chinese medicine prescriptions, Chinese medicinals, and monomers from Chinese medicinals), and the mechanisms of TCM, such as inhibiting osteoclast activation, glial cell activation, and spinal cord neuron activation, regulating pain mediators and abnormal expression of microRNA, and anti-tumor, which is expected to further clarify the pathogenesis of BMP and provide ideas and methods for the effective prevention and treatment of BMP with TCM.
