Objective To investigate the expression levels of interferon-?-inducible protein 30 genes in CD4~(+) T cells of systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) patients and to evaluate the relations between the gene expression levels and the disease activities.Methods The clinical data of 23 SLE patients and 10 normal controls were collected.Peripheral blood was drawn and CD4~(+)T cells were separated by using immunomagnetic cell sorting system(MACS).Total RNA was extracted and reversely transcribed into cDNA.Screening and identification of IP-30 in LongSAGE Tags from a SLE patient was done by generation of longer cDNA fragments from serial analysis of gene expression(SAGE) tags for gene identification.Results IP30 expression levels of the total SLE patients were significantly higher than those of normal controls(P

OBJECTIVE: To study the optimum technique for extraction of mixture volatile oil from Olibanam and Sandalwood. METHODS: The orthogonal test was adopted to optimize the extraction process using the yield rate of volatile oil as indicator. RESULTS: The optimum extraction conditions were as follows: powder forming by 10mesh, 10- fold water added, soaking for 10h and extraction for 8h. CONCLUSIONS: This extraction method is simple, efficient and suitable for industria-lized production.
