OBJECTIVE:To investigate the quality of Isatis indigotica of different growing periods.METHODS:The property and the microscopic characteristics of Isatis indigotica of 1 or 2 growing years were identified and the contents of adenosine,indigo and indirubin were determined by HPLC. RESULTS:Isatis indigotca of 1 growing year showed wide liber and sparsely arranged parenchyma cells while Isatis indigotca of 2 growing years showed narrow liber and tightly arranged parenchyma cells. Without timely open-air drying or proper storage after harvesting,the Isatis indigotca was likely to experience color change of darkening in cross-section,increase of the content of the indigo,and decrease of the contents of adenosine and indirubin. The Isatis indigotica of too short growing period or two growing years were low in contents of adenosine,indigo and indirubin. CONCLUSION:The planting of Isatis indigotica should be standardized and which should be given a quality control to avoid the great quality difference arose from differences of habitat,planting and harvesting,initial processing and storing method,etc.

This study was aimed to detect the heavy metal residues of medicinal leeches, in order to understand the current market circulation situation of medicinal leeches, and to analyze possible factors which may cause heavy metal pollution, and to provide references for the standardized safe cultivation of medicinal leeches. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) technique was applied to detect heavy metal residues in medicinal leeches. The results showed that medicinal leech samples tested for heavy metal content severely exceeded the standard, which caused a great threat to the safety of medication. It was conclude that more attentions should be paid on factors for causing heavy metal accumulation within medicinal leeches during the breeding process. The related department should also list safety limits explicitly and separately for animal drugs such as medicinal leech during the development of quality standards of Chinese materia medica.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the trend of cooper enrichment in hirudinidae influenced by culture environment. MET-HODS:The soil containing low-content,medium-content and high-content of cooper groups(30.00,60.00,90.00 μg/g)and water culture control group were set up. Hirudinidae leech were culture for 60 d,and sampled every 15 days. ICP-MS techniques was used to determined and compared the contents of cooper in W. pigra and soil. RESULTS:In first 15 days,the contents of cooper in leech from 4 groups increased greatly,compared with before;in the following 15 days,the content of cooper kept stable in high-content group while decreased in other 3 groups;in the 30-45 day,the contents of cooper increased rapidly in 4 groups,and those of low-content group and high-content group reached the peak in this experiment;in the last 15 days,the contents of cooper in control group and high-content group increased continuously,while those of low-content and medium-content groups decreased to some extent. Compared with before,the contents of cooper in leech from control group,low-content,medium-content and high-content groups increased by 292%,186%,293%,464% respectively;those of soil from latter 3 groups increased by 81.12%,35.98% and 21.28% respectively. CONCLUSIONS:The content of cooper in leech increase with time,and is positively correlated with the content of cooper in soil. It is suggested to control the content of cooper in hirudinidae through controlling cul-ture environment when hirudinidae are cultured as medicinal material,in order to meet the quality standard of heavy metal in medic-inal material.

Objective: To explore network relationships among depression, Internet addiction and campus bullying among adolescents, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the comprehensive prevention and control of adolescents psychological status and risky behaviors. Methods: In September 2020, a stratified random cluster sampling method was adopted to select 5 000 middle school students for investigation. A structural equation model was used to analyze depression, Internet addiction and bullying and their related influencing factors in order to clarify the pathway and magnitude of effects. Results: Depression had a positive effect on Internet addiction with adolescents( β=0.35, P <0.01), school bullying had a positive effect on depression and Internet addiction with adolescents( β=0.23, 0.05, P <0.01). Adolescent depression was found to play a partial mediating role with respect to the influence of sleep duration on Internet addiction, and the indirect effect was -0.01, accounting for 63.6% of the total effect. Depression played a partial mediating role regarding the influence of the frequency of moderate and high intensity exercise on Internet addiction in adolescents; the indirect effect was -0.01, accounting for 21.8% of the total effect. Conclusion Considering the interaction among adolescent depression, Internet addiction, and school bullying, it s important to include associated factors when developing effective prevention and intervention strategies, which can thus promote the physical and mental health of students, and provide scientific and effective protection.

AIM: To look for harmfulless anti-leukemia drug with selective high performance, lethal effect of small hairpin RNA (shRNA) on VEGFR2 gene expression of tumor cell line HL60 in vitro.METHODS: The most effective VEGFR2 siRNA was designed and screened. The shRNA oligo was designed and pU6/VEGFR2 entry clone was constructed. HL60 was transfected transiently and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2(VEGFR2) expression was tested with MTT assay, RT-PCR and Western blotting. The expression clone was constructed and cotransfected with ViraPowerTM Packaging Mix into 293FTTM cells to produce Lentiviral vectors harboring Lenti6/shVEGFR2. The virion supernatant was added into HL60 cells and VEGFR2 gene inhibitory effect was determined. RESULTS: The inhibitory rates of VEGFR2 siRNA c were high. VEGFR2 expression in HL60 was inhibited by using pU6/VEGFR2 entry clone constructed with shRNA and pENTRTM/U6. For HL60 cells, the inhibitory rate was 84.9%. The expression of VEGFR2 mRNA and protein decreased significantly. 48 hours after transfection of pU6/shVEGFR2 entry clone and transduction of Lenti6/shVEGFR2 expression clone, the cell inhibitory rates were similar. Cell growth inhibitory rate of entry clone descended rapidly after this time point, the expression clone changed slowly, reaching the peak at 96 hours, dropped slightly, having no significance deviation. CONCLUSION: in vitro, VEGFR2 shRNA using lentiviral vector blocks VEGF/VEGFR2 self-secretion in HL60 cells, which inhibits leukemia development.
