Objective To determine the efficacy and safety of Chinese Medicine Jiaweidingchuan Soup in the treatment of asthma.MethodsPatients(n =32)with mild-to-moderate asthma were treated with Chinese Medicine Jiaweidingchuan Soup for 4 weeks.We measured the FVC、FEV1、PEF、IL-6 and IFN-? level.ResultsAfter treatment,the FVC、FEV1 and PEF values and the expression of IFN-? in patient with asthma increased significantly(P

HPLC-ESI-MS technology was applied to determine the hydrolyzed peptides of red cubilose and white Abscubilose for the comparison of similarities and differences between different kinds of cubiloses' hydrolysis polypeptide primary structure.SDS-PAGE,capillary high-performance liquid chromatography and ESI-MS were used to detect the purity and peptide mapping of samples.Mascot 2.2 sof tware was used to search the database.The basepeak figure in mass spectrometry analysis showed good consistency of hydrolyzed peptides between red cubilose and white cubilose.The Mascot 2.2 sof tware was used to search the poultry database which had been downloaded from the UniProt.A total of 73 kinds of proteins from white cubilose were identified.And a total of 51 kinds of proteins from red cubilose were identified.There were 30 kinds of same proteins from both cubilose.It was concluded that the hydrolyzed peptides had relatively high similarity between red cubilose and white cubilose.The same proteins from both red and white cubilose can be used as the quality control characteristics of cubilose products.

In order to explore the role of p15(INK4B) gene with highly methylated CpG island in the pathogenesis of leukemia, the expression levels of p15(INK4B) gene was detected in patients with AML and CML. Methylation-specific PCR (MSP) assay was employed in the experiments. The methylation incidence was 83.9% (26/31) in AML and 0% (0/28) in CML. The results showed that methylation of p15(INK4B) gene was the one of the major ways for inactivation of the gene, and the methylation could be appeared in clinical development of the disease and patients condition worsened. Methylation of p15(INK4B) did not occur and its function probably is normal in CML.
