As traditional Chinese medicine components have become a hotspot in the field of traditional Chinese medicine study, they have followed a development trend of diversity and false identification. In studies on a new modem product, we shall encourage the diversified development mode, but avoid the false concept identification of traditional Chinese medicine components. In this paper, by analyzing the current development of traditional Chinese medicine components and problems, we discussed the standardization of traditional Chinese medicine components, with the aim of reducing and avoiding the situations to study non-traditional Chinese medicine components as traditional Chinese medicine components.

?Objective:To study the effects of Docetaxel on the proliferation and metastatic potential of mucoepidermoid carcinoma M 3SP 4 cells in vitro and in vivo . Methods:Inhibitory effects of Docetaxel on the proliferation and metastatic potential of mucoepidermoid carcinoma M 3SP 4 cells were investigated with cell counting,cloning assay flow cytometry, tail vein injection and submandibular gland injection of the cells into nude mice. Results:Docetaxel inhibited M 3SP 4 cells growth in a dose and time dependent way. The IC 30 and IC 50 (with 72 h exposure) of Docetaxel were 0.34 nmol/L and 0.63 nmol/L, respectively; the doubling time(h) of the cells treated with the drug at IC 30 for 7 days and of the control were 32.7 h, 43 h, respectively; the clonogenesity(%) of the control and of the cells treated with Docetaxel ( 0.05 nmol/Lor 0.1 nmol/L)were (29.2?1.4)% and (20.2?0.8)% and (2.8?0.4)%, respectively; the number of metastatic foci on lung surface in the nude mice treated with the drug at 30 mg/kg?week and in the controls were 0 and 11?3.4; the weight(g) of submandibular gland in the two groups were 0.31?0.05 and 1.20?0.23 respectively. Conclusion:Docetaxel may inhibit the proliferation and metastatic potential of mucoepidermoid carcinoma M 3SP 4 cells.

Objective To observe the protection of Caspase inhibitor(zVAD-fmk,benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-Asp-fluoromethyl ketone) on neonatal rat with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBD).Methods Thirty-six neonatal rats,7 days old,were randomly divided into hypoxic-ischemic(HI) control group(A),zVAD-fmk treated group(B) and sham group(C).Before HI insult,a pan-Caspase inhibitor,zVAD-fmk or normal buffer solution was injected into the cerebral ventricle.The water content of cerebral hemisphere was measured and the percentage of apoptofic cells in hippocampal neurons was measured by Flow cytometer(Annexin V/PI) at 24 hours after HI insult.The effect on body weights(percentage of increased weight,WIP) and macroscopical changes(percentage of cortox and hippocampal dead neurons) were assessed at 14 days.Results Compared with group A,the water content of ischemic hemisphere and apoptosis percentage of hippocampal neurons in group B reduced significantly.The difference of percentage of increased weight at 14 days in group B was not significantly.Microscopic examination showed that cortox and hippocampus neural death rate in group B was proved significantly reduced compared with that in group A.Conclusion Intracerebral administration of zVAD-fmk has protective effects on hypoxic-ischemic brain damage in neonatal rat.

Objective To study the cerebral energy metabolism changes of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) through hydrogen magnetic resonance spectroscopy examination (1 HMRS ) and its relationship with partial pressure of oxygen / carbon dioxide tension.Methods Totally 13 cases of AECOPD patients and 10 cases of age-matched healthy people underwent HMRS examination.The ratios of n-acetyl-aspartate(NAA)/creatine(Cr),choline (Cho)/Cr,myo-inositol(MI)/Cr of parieto-temporal and occipital areas of brain were detected.Blood gas analysis were also used to detect partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and carbon dioxide (PaCO2).Results NAA / Cr of parieto-temporal and occipital areas of brain (1.32±0.12,1.48±0.12) were lower in AECOPD group than those in control group (1.45±0.11,1.58±0.10) (P＜ 0.05),MI/Cr (0.23±0.07,0.30±0.11) were also decreased compared with control group (0.40±0.14,0.46±0.12) (P＜ 0.01),while Cho/Cr of parieto -temporal and occipital areas of brain between the AECOPD group and control group showed no significant difference (P＞0.05).NAA/Cr of parieto temporal and occipital areas of brain were positively correlated with PaO2 (r=0.46 and 0.44),and MI/Cr of these areas of brain were also positively related with PaO2 (r=0.63 and 0.50),but MI / Cr of parieto tempora was negatively correlated with PaCO2 (r =- 0.472). Conclusions Cerebral metabolite changes may occur in AECOPD patients,and this has relationship with hypoxia and carbon dioxide retention.

Objective:To explore the protective effect of sodium channels antagonists HOE642 on lung ischemia reperfusion and the role of the p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) signaling pathway in this process.Methods:A total of 36 mice were randomly divided into a sham operation group (SHAM group),a lung ischemia reperfusion group (I/R group) and a lung ischemia reperfusion+HOE642 group (HOE group).The water content was detected by electronic scales,and the lung tissue pathological changes were observed under optical microscope.The inflammatory cytokines including IL-6 and TNF-α were examined by ELISA.The intracellular calcium fluorescence intensity was examined and observed under fluorescence microscope,and the protein expression of p38MAPK was detected by Western blot.Results:Lung water content in the HOE group was lower than that in the I/R group,but higher than that in the SHAM group (both P＜0.05).Lung interstitial edema,hemorrhage,lung tissue inflammatory cells infiltration were significantly alleviated in the HOE group than those in the I/R group,while the injury in the HOE group was aggravated than those in the SHAM group (both P＜0.05).T he IL-6 and TNF-α in lung tissues in the HOE group were lower than those in the I/R group,but higher than those in the SHAM group (both P＜0.05).Intracellular calcium fluorescence intensity in the HOE group was lower than that in the I/R group,but higher than that in the SHAM group (both P＜0.05).The protein expression of p38MAPK in lung tissues in the HOE group was lower than that in the I/R group,but higher than that in the SHAM group (both P＜0.05).Conclusion:HOE642 may exert protective effect on pulmonary I/R injury through regulation of the p38MAPK signaling pathway,resulting in reduction of intracellular calcium ion concentration and calcium overload,and decrease of inflammatory response.

Objective To explore the protective effect and the mechanism of fastigial nucleus electric stimulation on brain of rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBD).Methods Ninety rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:sham operated group(n=30),model group(n=30)and electric stimulation group(n=30),every group was divided into group A(n=10),group B(n=10)and group C(n=10)again.The models of perinatal HIBD rats were prepared by ligation of left common carotid artery with a temporary systemic hypoxia(N2O2 was 928)for 2 hours.Electric stimulation group was used electric stimulation for 20 minutes,2 times everyday after surgery.The sham operated group and model group was not used electric stimulation but catched to fix in corresponding period.All of the group A would be injected bromodeoxyuridine(BrdU)to enterocoelia before 8 hours when the rats would be killed and the group B would be not injected it.The rats of the group A and B would be killed and got the brain tissue after cardiac perfusion 7 days later,then,consecutively coronal slice.The changes of BrdU and nestin levels in brain were observed by immunohistochemistry staining assay.And the study and memory ability of all the group C would be tested by maze test after 28 days.The brain tissue would be tested by hematoxylin and eosin stain at the same time.All of the data would be described and analyzed by SPSS 13.0.More than a few means would be compared by One-Way analysis of variance and the t-test between 2 groups would be used.Results The BrdU and nestin levels of the model group were lower than the sham operated group(Pa

Objective:To investigate the risk factors, clinical features and prognosis of abnormal liver function after receiving oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy regimen in patients with colorectal cancer, and to provide a relevant basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods:The clinical data of 108 colorectal cancer patients who received XELOX (oxaliplatin+capecitabine) or mFOLFOX6 (oxaliplatin+leucovorin+ 5-fluorouracil) chemotherapy regimen from October 2017 to May 2019 in the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University were analyzed retrospectively. According to the liver function indexes after chemotherapy, the patients were divided into abnormal liver function group and normal liver function group. The observation indexes included alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase. The clinical characteristics of liver dysfunction after oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy were analyzed and the related factors that might lead to liver dysfunction were analyzed by using multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results:Among 108 patients receiving chemotherapy, there were 67 (62.0%) cases of abnormal liver function. The main grades of liver dysfunction were grade 1 and grade 2, including 49 cases of grade 1 (73.1%) and 16 cases of grade 2 (23.9%). After chemotherapy, the abnormal liver function usually began in 1-4 cycles, of which 22 cases were 1 cycle (32.8%), 17 cases were 2 cycles (25.4%), 20 cases were 3 cycles (29.8%), and 4 cases were 4 cycles (6.0%). Univariate analysis showed that the age <60 years old, chemotherapy cycle >6, the use of mFOLFOX6 regimen, unprotected hepatoprotective drugs were related to liver dysfunction ( χ2 values were 3.910,4.799, 12.861, 4.044; all P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that mFOLFOX6 regimen and unprotected hepatoprotective drugs were independent risk factors of abnormal liver function ( HR = 3.405, 95% CI 1.266-9.159, P = 0.015; HR = 2.348, 95% CI 1.012-5.477, P = 0.047). Conclusions:For patients with colorectal cancer who have a high risk of liver dysfunction after chemotherapy, it is recommended to prefer XELOX regimen among oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy regimens and to take preventive liver protection treatment.

Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) is a complex system, featured with integrity and characteristics. Structural component TCM is a well-organized integrity of traditional Chinese medicine, reflecting multi-component integration effect of TCM. It gives us a new view on the material basis of TCM. Currently, conventional researching strategies are not enough to deal with the relationship between material basis and efficacy, multi-composition, multi-targets, and multi-section mechanism. Post-genome area gives a birth to bioinformatics, which involves systematic biology, different levels of omics, corresponding mathematics and computer techniques. It increasingly becomes a powerful tool to understand complicated system and life essential laws. Research ideas, methods. and knowledge of data mining technology of bioinformatics combined with the theory of structural components of Chinese medicine bring a new opportunity for developing structural components of Chinese medicine, systematically exploring the essence of TCM and promoting the modernization of TCM.
