Objective To optimize and verify an in vitro detection method for bioactivity of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2(rhBMP-2)based on ASTM F2131-02 standard test.Methods Based on the method established by the American Society for Testing Material(ASTM),the detection cell lines(W-20-17 and C2C12 cells),dilution mode of rhBMP-2(2 and 3 times serial dilution),culture time(24,36,48 and 72 h),and freezing temperature(-20 and-80 ℃)were optimized,and the specificity,intermediate precision,linearity and durability of the optimized method were verified. The specific activity of rhBMP-2 from different manufacturers was detected using the optimized method.Results C2C12 cells were determined as detection cells;The best dilution method of rhBMP-2 was 2 times series dilution;The optimum cell culture timewas 48handtheoptimum freezingtemperatureofcellswas-80℃. C2C12 cells responded specifically to rhBMP-2 induction when adding heteroprotein(bovine serum albumin)to rhBMP-2;The CV of 12 detections by 2 experimenters at 2 time points was11. 7%. The theoretical titer of rhBMP-2 showed a good linear relationship with the measured titer in the range of 70%-142%,and the fitting linear regression equation was:y = 0. 983 1 x-0. 010 3,R~2= 0. 996 4;The CV of the detected specific of rhBMP-2 using 4,11 and 21 passages of C2C12 cells was 5. 2%. The CV of specific activity of rhBMP-2 samples from different manufacturers detected by the optimized method repeatedly for two times was 1. 3%-7. 5%.Conclusion The optimized method showed good specificity,intermediate precision,linearity and durability,and might be used to detect the bioactivity of rhBMP-2 in vitro,which provided a reliable analytical method for its research,production and application.

The first step of bacilli culture is inoculation bacteria on culture medium. Designing a device to increase efficiency of inoculation is significative. The new device is controlled by SCM. The stepper motor can drive the culture medium rotating, accelerating, decelerating, overturn and suspending. The device is high practicability and efficient, let inoculation easy for operator.

At present, selective 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and 5-HT and noradrenaline (NA) re-uptake inhibitors ( SNaRI) are the first choice for the clinical treatment of depression, however, the clinical adverse effects of the drugs have become a prominent problem affecting the clinical efficacy. Chinese medicines have some experience in the treatment of depres-sion, and the combined use with the above antidepressants can enhance the efficacy and / or reduce the adverse effects. The article re-viewed the status of the combination of SSRIs and Chinese medicines in order to provide reference for the clinical treatment of depres-sion.

[Objective] Have a research on therapeutic methods of phlegm syndrome of Li Ziyi in Qing dynasty, to sum up his therapeutic experience of such syndrome.[Methods]Analysis on the related states and cases on the base of researches on the contents of “Approaches of phlegmatic scrofula ”which was written by Mr. Li, elaborating his characteristics in treating such syndrome. [Results] Mr. Li considered that phlegm syndrome can be classified into milder phlegm and scrofula according to its level of the patient ’s condition and therapeutic effect. He also believed that several aspects should be taken into consideration through the therapeutic process:treat by internal combing with external treatment ,pay attention to seven emotions and smoothen the temper, emphasize nursing care and obey to the contraindication strictly. [Conclusion]There are features in Mr. Li ’s view on phlegm and his treating method of phlegm syndrome. His treating method has a good therapeutic effect and it is worth popularizing.

A lot of progresses in understanding of the production and effects of NO have been made in recent years. Large number of studies showed that NO play an important role in the pathogenesis of septic shock. Some other investigators reported that NOS inhibitors could have the potential therapeutic value in septic shock treatment.

Ceramide (Cer),as the center molecular of sphingolipids metabolism,functions as a bioactive mediator of different cellular processes,such as cell growth,differentiation,senescence and apoptosis,besides being structural component of cellular membrane.It can inhibit cell proliferation and promote cell apoptosis via multiple signal pathawys.Chemicals anti-cancer properties based on Cer metabolism that upregulate its level are confirmed in plenty of experimental researches,and parts of research productions are applied in anticancer clinic experiments.

Intraperitoneal. injection of the essential oils of Asarum himalaicum and A. heterotropides var. mand shuricum can inhibit the proliferation of granuloma induced by implantation of cotton pellets in rats, and change the distribution of Copper and Zinc,the two necessary trace elements for rats,in rat serum and liver.They reduce concentration of Zinc but increase that of Copper in the serum,while elevate the concentration of Zinc but reduce that of Copper in liver. The oil of A. himalaicum collected from Ningxia Region showed even stronger effects.

Doxorubicin as a member of the anthracycline-based drugs, is widely used in cancer chemotherapy, while its significant cardiac toxicity and cytotoxicity limit its application to some extent.Therefore, it's a valuable exploring topic on how to improve the effect and reduce the adverse drug reactions of doxorubicin chemotherapy.This paper attempted to analyze the literatures about TCM combined with doxorubicin in nearly 15 years, including clinical use and experimental studies, to provide reference for the clinical application.

Radiotherapy is one of the main means of clinical treatment for cancer, although the continuous updating and development of technology and equipment, adverse reactions and side effects can't be avoided yet.Improving the clinical efficacy of radiotherapy and reducing its adverse reactions are the currently facing subjects.A large number of clinical studies showed that using traditional Chinese medicines(TCM)in tumor radiotherapy had significant effects of improving and controlling the clinical symptoms, improving the life quality of cancer patients, improving the sensitization of radiotherapy, preventing the tumor metastasis and recurrence, as well as improving immune function and long-term survival, etc.Meanwhile, TCM also had significant roles in reducing the damage of radioactive inflammation, decreasing the bone marrow suppression to improve peripheral blood, and reducing the toxicity of digestive system, etc.The combination of radiotherapy and TCM provides a broader space for the comprehensive treatment of tumors.
