AIM: To observe the difference in the application of proportion of pinellisa decoction for purging stomach-fire, ginger rind and licorice root with different BP (back propagation,BP) method of artificial neural network. METHODS: The influence of gastric mucuqas content in normal rats was measured, and the groups of different flavor of a drug and dosage were divided according to homogeneous design. This research was programmed with MATLAB6.5, conformed the experimental data with BP artificial neural network, and the research compared the different structural topology of 8-3-1?8-8-1?8-12-1, and compared the different influence with the different BP method to network. And then, the expected mode of gastric mucus content was formed, which based on the BP neural network. RESULTS: The artificial neural network model that had 8-10-1 structural topology and improved BP method was formed, and it was a kind of good method to uniform the studied samples and to forecast the unstudied samples, Moreover, the expected effect of variable learning rate back propagation was best. CONCLUSION: Using the studying of pinellisa decoction for purging stomach-fire, ginger rind and licorice as an example, and give birth to the new model in studying proportioning of compound prescription. This model will found its position in studying proportioning of compound prescription.

To identity the pathogen that causes the mosaic and yellowing symptoms on Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz in Jiangxian, Shanxi province, biological inoculation, sequence-independent amplification (SIA),RT-PCR and other identification methods were used. The results showed that the chlorotic and necrosis symptoms occurred in the indicator plant Chenopodium quinoa after it was infected with the pathogen,and the same symptoms appeared after the reinoculation of healthy Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz; this reflected that the disease was likely to be caused by a virus. The results of SIA and sequencing showed that Broad bean wilt virus 2 (BBWV2) was present in severely mosaic Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz leaves. To further characterize the BBWV2 isolate from Atractylodes macrocephala (BBWV2-Am), the polyprotein partial gene encoded by BBWV2-Am RNA2 was cloned and sequenced. Sequence alignments showed that the nucleotide sequence identity of BBWV2-Am SCP and LCP genes ranged from 79.3% to 87.2% and from 80.1% to 89.2% compared to other BBWV2 strains,respectively; the deduced amino acid sequence similarities of the two gene products ranged from 91.2% to 95.7% and from 89.44 to 95.5%, respectively,compared to those of other BBWV2 strains. Phylogenetic comparisons showed that BBWV2-Am was most likely to be related to BBWV2-Rg,but formed an independent branch. This is the first report of BBWV2 in Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz.

Objective To investigate the lung function testing performing in normal smokers,and urge smokers to stop smoking early. Methods Two hundred and one adult men did the pulmonary function testing by MINATO AS-505 portable spirometer, and analyzed the effect d different smoking degree on the pulmonary function. Results There was no relationship between lung volume index and smoking, smoking degree. Compared with nonsmokers, the indicants such as FEV1, MVV, FEV1/FVC had decreased, and the indexes of the small airway function (PEF, FEF25%-75%)had significantly dropped in the smokers. And the smokers especially long-term smokers, most indexes of the pulmonary functions and all indexes of the small airway function correlated with smoking index. Conclusion Although smokers do not show clinical symptoms, their lung functions have been reduced, especially small airway function.

Objective To observe the effects of ginkgolide B (GB) on mRNA expression of foxgl and proliferation of cells in brain tissue of newborn rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD).Methods A total of 128 clean 7-day-old healthy SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,the model group,the low-GB dose and the high-GB dose treatment groups.Classic Rice method were used to establish HIBD models in the latter 3 groups.Four hours after operation,and GB in dose of 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg was given to rats in the low and the high dose treatment groups by intraperitoneal injection postoperatively,once a day for 5 days,while sham operation and model groups were treated with equal physiological saline.All groups were respectively sacrificed on 3 d,7 d,14 d,28 d respectively.Quantitative real-time fluorescent polymerase chain reaction was employed to detect expression of Foxg1 gene.Then the number of 5-bromodeoxyuridine positive cell in subgranular zone was investigated by immunolluorescent stairning.Results The Foxg1 mRNA expression was observed 3 days after HIBD,peaked on 7th day,and then declined gradually; the levels of Foxg1 mRNA in the 2 treatment groups were higher than that of the HIBD group (all P < 0.01) ; The expression of Foxgl at 7 d,14 d,28 d,in high-dose group were higher than those in the low-dose group (all P < 0.01).The number of 5-bromodeoxyuridine positive cell was increased after HIBD,and the levels in the low-and the high-dose treatment groups were all higher than that of the model group (all P < 0.05) ; the number of positive cell in high-dose treatment groups were higher than that in the low-dose treatment groups (P < 0.05).Conclusions GB can promote the expression of Foxg1 gene and improve the proliferation of cells in Brain tissue after HIBD,which shows more significant efficacy in high-dose group than in low-dose group.

BACKGROUND:5-Fluorouracil occupies an important position in the treatment of gastric cancer, but its long-term use can easily induce adverse reactions such as myelosuppression and leukopenia. Polylactic acid and its copolymers have a higher biocompatibility, and their decomposer cannot gather in the body.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the in vitro cytotoxicity mechanism of 5-fluorouracil-loaded polylactic acid nanoparticles on gastric cancer cel lines.
METHODS:Ten mice were selected in this study. 5-fluorouracil-loaded polylactic acid nanoparticles (1×10-7, 1×10-6, 1×10-5, 1×10-4 mol/L) were prepared using ultrasonic emulsification method. Kiling effect of polylactic acid nanoparticles on gastric cancer cel lines in vitrowere detected. Then, the inhibition rate was calculated at different concentrations.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Under the transmission electron microscope, 5-fluorouracil-loaded polylactic acid nanoparticles had good shape and relatively evenly distributed with no adhesions. After drug administration, the drug concentration was 50% at 24 hours and 62.9% at 72 hours. After 48 hours co-culture with single 5-fluorouracil or 5-fluorouracil-loaded polylactic acid nanoparticles, the viability of gastric cancer cels showed a decrease trend with the increase of drug concentrations, and moreover, 5-fluorouracil-loaded polylactic acid nanoparticles had a better cel inhibition ability than the single 5-fluorouracil (P < 0.05). The IC50value of 5-fluorouracil-loaded polylactic acid nanoparticles was significantly lower than that of 5-fluorouracil (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that polylactic acid nanoparticles as good drug carriers have a strong drug loading capacity and increase drug concentration in the body, but cannot reduce the biological activity of 5-fluorouracil, which provide new ideas for the treatment of gastric cancer.
