The generic chemical structure can express succinctly and can realize large protection range, so it is widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical patents. But because of the complexity and the variety of generic chemical structure,the existing domestic patent retrieval system is unable to realize its retrieval. Efficient processing and depth of indexing for this kind of information is also the industry's problems. In order to construct one-stop service system of intellectual property, to realize the retrieval of generic chemical structure, we develop a new indexing method on the basis of the original GFL indexing language. The method further optimizes the definition of a super atom, regulates the selection principle of indexing term and the typical structure indexing to make the super atom play a greater role in the indexing and retrieval of generic chemical structure, so the method not only can improve the retrieval efficiency and convenience, but also can reduce the cost of indexing.

Patent documentation is a kind of high-value scientific literature, which has caught the attention of more and more scholars. In this paper, the World Traditional Medicine Patent Database (WTMPD) was used to retrieve patents of the traditional medicines used in the treatment and prevention of influenza worldwide in the past 30 years. A total of 2 423 patents were further screened by a series of processes. Finally, multi-angle analysis was carried on the dataset to form a patent analysis report on traditional anti-flu drugs. From the analysis, we found that China had a rapid increase in the number of patent applications, which was in the leading role in the world, though the number of PCT applicant from China is relatively low. A large amount of applicants from the USA, Japan, and Korea have entered into China. Pharmaceutical company is the core group of patent applicant, who had applied a lot of quality patent about their products to protect their commercial interests. Honeysuckle, licorice, isatis root, forsythia and skullcap are five kinds of herbs, which have been most frequently used in anti-influenza patents.

Objective To observe c-Fos expression in visual cortex of infant rhesus monkeys with myopia induced by hyperopic defocus and preliminarily investigate the possibility of visual cortex participating in myopia. Methods Eight SPF grade healthy infant rhesus monkeys aged 20 to 30 days were randomly divided into hyperopic defocused group and control group,4 monkeys for each group. The monkeys in hyperopic defocused group wore -3 D spectacle lenses. The monkeys in control group wore 0 D lenses. The monkeys' refractive error,corneal topography, vitreous chamber depth were measured at the start of lens wear and at 2,4,6,8,12 weeks post-treatment. At 12 weeks post-treatment,the visual cortex tissues were removed for c-Fos protein measurement by immunohistochemistry and Western blot assays. The results were analyzed semiquantitatively to compare the differences of c-Fos expression between hyperopic defocused group and control group. The use and care of the animals complied with Regulations for the Administration of Affair Concerning Experimental Animals by State Science and Technology Commission. This study protocol was approved by Ethic Committee of Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center ( No. 2013-014). Results After 12 weeks'lens wear,the vitreous chamber elongation amplitude of hyperopic defocused group monkeys was more obvious than that of the control group ([0.93±0.24]mm vs. [0.72±0.09]mm;t=2.292,P=0.047). The decrease of hyperopic degrees of hyperopic defocused group monkeys was more obvious than that of the control group ([-3.23± 1.36]D vs. [-1.55±0.52]D;t=-3.273,P=0.006). The eyes of hyperopic defocused group monkeys appeared a remarkable myopic shift after treatment. The number of c-Fos immunoreactive neurons was less in the hyperopic defocused group than that in the control group,with a statistically significant difference between them ([1 843±191]/mm2vs. [2 296±503]/mm2;t=2.381,P=0.041). Western blot assay showed that the optical density of c-Fos protein in the hyperopic defocused group was significantly less than that in the control group (0.50±0.17 vs. 0.99± 0.22;t=-4.982,P<0.01). Conclusions Hyperopic defocus,as an abnormal visual stimulus,can induce the onset of myopia in infant rhesus monkeys and inhibit c-Fos expression in visual cortex. Visual cortex may participate in myopia induced by hyperopic defocus.
