Pharmacognosy (Chinese Medicine) discipline has a long history and International cooperation is more and more frequent, but the communication of the Chinese traditional medicine cul-ture is very difficult. In order to solve this problem, it is urgent to improve the professional English level of the students. Thus, combined with the education survey and interview results, as well as the reports in previous studies and our own experience, we think about how to set pharmaceutical profes-sional English course and put forward some suggestions such as the innovation of curriculum organiza-tion strategy, convergence of basic English course, teaching content and form being closely linked to academic activities, and paying attention to highlighting the subject characteristics of pharmacognosy (Pharmacy).

To study the mechanism and influence of pneumonia on myocardium in D-galactose(D-gal) treated mice, 36 normal male NIH mice were randomly selected and pretreated with D-gal, and then they were divided into three groups, namely control group, the first day after pneumonia group, and the third day after pneumonia group. Another group of 36 mice were pretreated with normal saline to form a general control group. The result showed that in the D-gal prtreated pneumonia mice, the degeneration of myocardial mitochondria was more pronounced, the content of MDA in myocardium was increased, and the activity of SOD and the content of ATP in the myocardium were reduced. There was a positive correlation between the content of ATP and the activity of SOD, and there was a negative correlation between the content of ATP and MDA in the myocardium. These results suggusted that the myocardial lipid peroxidation in the D-gal treated mice increased the susceptibility to the damaging factors, such as pneumonia.

Aim To investigate whether the annexation of bradykinin and papaverine had some synergetic effects on the opening of blood-tumor barrier,and find out the action of cytokine in this mechanism.Methods 160 female rats were divided into 8 groups:sham operated group;model group,PA group,BK group,PA+BK group,1/2PA+BK group,1/2BK+PA group and 1/2PA+1/2BK group.20 rats were needed in each group.The C6 brain tumor model was built.The drug was pumped into rat's brain via the carotid artery.The opening of the tight junction was detected by electron microscop.And the permeability of the blood-tumor barrier was tested by Evans blue.The expression of IL-1? was tested by Western blot and the expression of IL-1? on/around the capillary in the brain of the cerebral glioma rats was tested by SABC immunochemistry.Results In contrast to sham operated group/model group,the expression of IL-1? in PA group,BK group and PA+BK group increased obviously(P

Objective To investigate the rationality and prognostic value of the Criteria for clinical staging of esophageal cancer treated by non-surgical methods (Draft) by comparison with the criteria for postoperative pathological staging.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 162 patients with esophageal cancer who underwent radical resection at the Second Hospital of Soochow University from December 2008 to July 2012.Preoperative clinical staging and postoperative pathological staging were performed,and the Kappa statistic was used to evaluate the agreement between the two staging systems.The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate overall survival (OS) rates,and the log-rank test was used for survival difference analysis and univariate analysis.Results The coincidence rates of T,N,and TNM stages were 67.9％,57.4％,and 67.9％,respectively,and the agreements were moderate,poor,and moderate,with Kappa values of 0.544,0.302,and 0.509.The follow-up rate was 93.2％.The 1-,2-,and 3-year sample sizes were 127,66 and 27,respectively.The 1-,2-,and 3-year OS rates were 82.6％,56.2％,and 37.7％,respectively.There were no significant differences in OS between patients with preoperative T1 and T2 stages and between patients with preoperative N0 and N1 stages (P =0.086,0.101),but significant differences were observed between patients with different T stages,N stages,or TNM stages (P =0.000-0.028).This was in line with the prognostic results based on the postoperative pathological staging.Conclusions The clinical staging criteria (draft) have moderate agreement with the criteria for postoperative pathological staging and have good prognostic value,but they require further refinement and improvement.

Objective To explore the role of anterior horn index (AHI) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) outcome after intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and the correlation factors of IVH in preterm infants.Methods We selected 55 preterm infants with IVH(Ⅱ-Ⅳ degree) confirmed by MRI as case group,and 55 preterm infants with normal MRI as control group,all the cases were admitted in neonatal medical wards in our hospital from January 2009 to September 2011.Then 30 infants of case group were scaned for the second time,to see if they had posthemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (PHVD) and compare the AHI with the last time MRI,and analysis the related factors associated with IVH in preterm infants.Results MRI results:9 infants had PHVD,and the AHI rised (0.36 ± 0.05 v s 0.46 ± 0.06,P ＜ 0.01);21 infants didn't have PHVD,and the AHI decreased (0.31 ± 0.02 vs 0.30 ± 0.02,P ＜ 0.01).Logistic regression analysis:vaginal delivery,use of pulmonary surfactant,mechanical ventrilator care were associated with IVH (P ＜0.05).Conclusion AHI can be used for judging PHVD in preterm infants with IVH.Preterm infants with IVH,especially grade Ⅱ should be monitored AHI.Vaginal delivery and mechanical ventrilator may be risk factor of IVH in preterm infants,while use of pulmonary surfactant may a protective factor of IVH.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) contains a big array of chemical constituents. These constituents un-dergo various metabolic reactions to produce complex in v iv o metabolites. Identification and distribution of these metabolites are important to reveal the effective constituents from a complex formulation. Recently, developments had been made to elucidate the complex metabolic process. In this review, we summarized the methods and strategies developed for TCM metabolism. Application of these metabolic results has also been discussed.

The objective of this study was to construct an improved thioredoxin fusion protein expression system, and express the cathelicidin-derived peptide, Lf-CATH2. The improved fusion vector Lf-CATH2-pET32α(-TS) was successfully constructed by firstly deleting the thrombin site and S tag from the pET-32α vector, then inserting the Lf-CATH2 plus a thrombin site instead. Afterwards, Lf-CATH2 was expressed in Escherichia coli as fusion protein. After the cleavage by thrombin, Lf-CATH2 was released and subsequently separated using affinity chromatography. The antimicrobial activity of purified Lf-CATH2 was also examined. The improved expression vector significantly increased enzyme cleavage efficiency by 37%, and Lf-CATH2 could be expressed in high yield and maintain the biological activity. This novel thioredoxin fusion protein expression system enables a quick production of high-yield bioactive cationic peptides like cathelicidins.
