Objective To extract dietary fiber from Udaria pinnatifida by using enzymatic-chemical extraction method.Methods All the factors that affect the extraction rate are enzyme content,enzymolysis temperature,enzymolysis time,Na2CO3concentration,Na2CO3extraction temperature,Na2CO3content and extraction time.They were tested with orthogonal experiment.Results The optimal conditions for extraction were determined as follows:the material was hydrolyzed at 50℃ for 1.5h with protease and cellulase mixed at the ratio of 30∶1,followed by the extraction at 65℃ for 3h with 30 volumes of 1% Na2CO3 solution.Under these conditions,the extraction rate could be as high as 12.65%with the color near light yellow.It could be used as additive source of dietary fiber for functional foods.Conclusion The optimum conditions for extraction dietary fiber were established.

BACKGROUND:Active components of Astragalus have an antioxidant effect, which is considered to result in the neuron-like differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of astragalus polysaccharides combined with basic fibroblast growth factor to induce the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels into nerve cels. METHODS:After 24 hours of pretreatment with basic fibroblast growth factor, passage 3 human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were cultured with astragalus polysaccharides for 1-3 days (combined group). Blank control group and basic fibroblast growth factor group were set up. Expression of neuron-specific enolase and nestin was detected using western blot or immunocytochemical staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The expression of neuron-specific enolase was higher in the combined group than the basic fibroblast growth factor group (P < 0.05). Expression of nestin was found in both basic fibroblast growth factor group and combined group, but the gray value was higher in the combined group than the basic fibroblast growth factor group (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that astragalus polysaccharides combined with basic fibroblast growth factor is better to induce the neuronal differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels.

Objective:To explore the factors affecting the postoperative prognosis of early cervical squamous cell carcinoma and inves-tigate the different radiotherapy techniques. Methods:A total of 100 postoperative patients of early cervical squamous cell carcinoma treated in Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University and Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from March to September 2013 were enrolled in our study. The prognostic factors for these patients were analyzed. After being subjected to differ-ent postoperative radiotherapy techniques, the efficacy and complications of the techniques were assessed for patients, including 50 cases of conventional radiotherapy (CRT) and 50 cases of image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT). Results:The 3-year overall survival rate was 89%, and the 3-year disease-free survival rate was 78%. The 3-year overall survival rates of the CRT and IGRT groups were 78.57%and 89.06%, respectively. The difference between these rates was statistically significant (P=0.034). The 3-year survival rates of the CRT and IGRT groups were 66.67%and 87.36%, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P=0.042). The incidence of ear-ly and late complications in the CRT group was higher than that in IGRT group, and the difference of P<0.05 was statistically significant. Multivariate analysis showed that postoperative radiotherapy, parametrial invasion, lymph node metastasis, lymphovascular space in-vasion, perineural invasion, and deep stromal invasion were the independent risk factors for the prognosis of patients with early stage cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Conclusion:Early prognosis of cervical squamous cell carcinoma results from the interaction of mul-tiple factors. The 3-year survival rate of the IGRT group was significantly better than that of the CRT group in the early stage of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. IGRT alleviates acute and chronic toxicities and helps improve the quality of life of patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of rheumatoid arthritis combined with femur head necrosis. Methods The clinical data of 22 patients with rheumatoid arthritis combined with femur head necrosi were retrospectively analyzed. Results Among the 22 patients with rheumatoid arthritis combined with femur head necrosi, male was in 5 cases, female was in 17 cases, age was 28-69 (56.3 ± 1.9) years, and the disease duration of rheumatoid arthritis was 4-30 (14.1 ± 1.2) years. All patients had ≥ 2 grade femur head necrosis, with bilateral femur head necrosis in 9 cases, right femur head necrosis in 9 cases and left femur head necrosis in 4 cases. Only 2 cases did not take glucocorticosteroid, and the other 20 cases used glucocorticosteroid in the long-term. The treatment was no standardized. The multiple fracture was found in 4 cases by X-ray examination (the patients had no history of trauma); 4 cases examined bone density, and the results showed they all were osteoporosis. Conclusions Rheumatoid arthritis combined with femur head necrosis is not uncommon. The majority of patients receive long-term glucocorticosteroid treatment. Treatment is not standardized, and some patients are combined with osteoporosis.

Objective To identify the correlation between vitamin D prescription and recurrence in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods A randomized controlled trial study was performed in 170 RA patients who were in remission during the past 2 months.According to the level of vitamin D,170 RA patients were divided into normal vitamin D group (84 patients) and deficiency vitamin D group (86 patients).Deficiency vitamin D group were randomly allocated to receive vitamin D treatment(vitamin D treatment group) or without vitamin D treatment (control group).In the 6-month follow-up period,the recurrence status was observed and compared.Results In the 6-month follow-up period,the recurrence rate of RA in normal vitamin D group was 16.7％(14/84),in vitamin D treatment group was 19.0％(8/42) and in control group was 29.5％(13/44),and there was no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).In vitamin D treatment group,no hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia occured.The age,course of disease and remission time in recurrence patients of three groups were no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).The level of vitamin D in recurrence patients of vitamin D treatment group was higher than that in recurrence patients of control group:(25.5 ± 8.9) ng/L vs.(20.9 ± 8.6)ng/L,and there was significant difference(P＜ 0.05).Conclusion Vitamin D deficiency is not identified to be a risk factor for RA recurrence.Vitamin D does not reduce the recurrence of RA.

In this consideration,the paper described the imperatives of drug safety,constraints of governance by the government,and advantages of social co-governance,proposing the necessity to establish aFive-in-One (referring to the involvement of the government,enterprises,industry associations,media and the public) drug safety social co-governance.In its analysis of the present dilemma o[drug safety governance,the authors proposed such measures as perfecting legal and institutional system,reforming governmental power allocation mechanism,improving the incentive mechanism,innovating governance means and improving social governance ability,for the purpose of enhancing such a co-governance pattern.

Borneol is a traditional Chinese medicine. In the past few years, many studies showed that borneol can improve the bioavailability of other drugs, promoting drugs to cross the blood-brain barrier, so the potential drug interactions between borneol and other medicines have attracted great attention, but the influence of borneol to CYP450 and its isoforms are rarely reported. In this research, male Wistar rats were orally administered by borneol for 7 days, then the mRNA and protein expression and the activities of CYP2D were detected, we also compared the pharmacokinetic parameters of CYP2D's specific substrate between control group and borneol group. The results show that borneol (33, 100 and 300 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1)) have no significant effect on CYP2D, while the activites of CYP2D increased 1.71, 1.97 and 2.89 times comparing to the control group. At the same time, borneol (300 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1)) caused the C(max) decreased 10.6% (P > 0.05), AUC(0-∞) decreased 27.5% (P < 0.01), CL/F increased 41.1% (P < 0.01), V(z)/F increased 23.1% (P > 0.05) of dextromethorphan. Our data provided that borneol speed up dextromethorphan's elimination in vivo. Since the activity of CYP2D can be induced by borneol, the metabolic interactions might happen when borneol and the substrate drug CYP2D are used together.

AIM: It is tested that the suppressive effects of (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG ) on the migration, invasion and RhoA expression of human lung carcinoma 95-D cells and B16BL6 melanoma cells invasion in vivo,which will possibly help to understand the molecular mechanisms by which EGCG inhibits the invasion of tumor cells. METHODS: The inhibitory effect of EGCG on the migration of 95-D cells was tested by cell migration assay. Cell invasion was analyzed by the matrigel invasion assay. Assay of tumor metastasis in an animal model, RT-PCR and Western blot analysis of expression of RhoA was also performed. RESULTS:EGCG was effective in inhibiting the migration of 95-D cells in a dose-dependent manner. EGCG dose-dependently inhibited 95-D cells invasion in vitro and 40 μmol·L-1 EGCG exhibited 79.9% inhibition and EGCG 50 mg·kg-1·d-1 for 3 weeks inhibited B16BL6 melanoma cells invasion by 71.7% in vivo. EGCG could down-regulate the expression of RhoA. CONCLUSION: EGCG strongly inhibits metastasis of 95-D cells, and the mechanism of EGCG is possible associated with the inhibition of RhoA expression.
