With the continuous development of modern chemistry, biology and pharmacy, researches on TCM modernization has witnessed a wide range of application of related modern technology, especially in researches of TCM monomer efficacy and pharmacokinetics. This can provide basis to internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine. The current research focus is how to obtain targeted TCM monomer. This article expounded the screening methods for TCM monomer at home and abroad, the principles of screening, the limitation and meanings.

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is the causative agent of cold sores and other more serious diseases. HSV-1 infected-cell protein 27 (ICP27) is an immediate-early regulatory phosphoprotein homologous to gene products identified in all classes of herpesviruses so far. To raise the antiserum to ICP27 for further characterization of its biological function, the ICP27 gene was cloned into the pET-28a (+) vector, then ICP27 protein was expressed in E. Coli and purified by nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni2+-NTA) affinity resin column,finally the purified protein was used to raise antiserum. Western blot analysis demonstrated that the antiserum recognized the recombinant protein, and the antiserum was able to probe the ICP27 in HSV-1 infected cells with high specificity by immunofluorescence assay (IFA). Therefore, the specific antiserum will provide a valuable tool for further studies investigating ICP27's biological function during HSV-1 infection.

Objective To study the immunoregulatory activity of eucommia ulmoides oliv polysaccharides (EOP) on immunodepressive mice. Method The immunodepressive mice model was established with cyclophosphamide (CY) treated. EOP was given with different doses, and mouse weight, thymus index, spleen index, abdominal cavity macrophage engulfing rates, engulfing index were measured. Result 300 grams Eucommia ulmoides Oliv crude drugs after withdraw separate gained 9.3 grams polysaccharides. After CY injection, the mouse weight, chest gland index, abdominal cavity macrophage swallowing rate, phagocytic count reduced. EOP could resist the mouse body weight drop induced by CY, elevate the thymus index of immunity low mouse, obviously increase mouse abdominal cavity macrophage engulfing rates and engulfing index (P

Objective To establish a primary culture of human melanocytes from tiny skin sheets harvested by using a suction blister method, to carry out a serial subcultivation of the melanocytes with human amniotic membrane (AM) as a scaffold, and to observe the influence of AM on the adhesion, proliferation and dendrite development of melanocytes. Methods Tiny skin sheets were collected from the flexual forearm or lower abdomen of a healthy male volunteer by a suction blister method and melanocytes in the skin sheet were counted following Dopa staining under a microscope. The trypsinized skin sheets were scraped with a scalpel to harvest melanocytes which were subjected to a primary culture. Then, the melanocytes were inoculated onto fresh or cryopreserved AM followed by a culture for various durations (4, 8 and 12 days). The morphology and dendrite development of melanocytes were visualized under an inverted microscope after dopa-staining, cell viability evaluated by MTT assay, the adhesion to AM examined by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining protocol. Results The density of melanocytes was 1543.1±13.3 cells per mm2 and 857.4±101.7 cells per mm2 in skin sheets obtained from the forearm flexure and lower abdomen of the volunteer, respectively. A skin sheet of about 25.1 mm2 from approximately two blister roof was required to ensure the success of primary culture of melanocytes within 1 month. After culture on fresh or cryopreserved AM for 4, 8, and 12 days, most melanocytes were bi-polar with extended slender dendrites compared with those cultured in common cell culture medium. HE staining showed that melancytes adhered and were evenly distributed on the basement membrane of AM. MTT assay showed that the AM inhibited the proliferation of melanocytes, and no statistical difference was observed in the inhibitory effect between fresh AM and cryopreserved AM (P＞ 0.05). Conclusions Enriched with melanocyes, flexural forearm is a preferable donor site to offer skin sheets for primary culture of melanocytes. Human AM could improve the adhesive growth and dendrite development of melanocytes, and may serve as a promising bioscaffold for in vitro expansion of melanocytes.

Based on the relevant theories and methods concerning the evaluation of higher education, authors used student questionnaires to evaluate the teaching quality of the 23 courses in the postgraduate curriculum, including basic theoretic courses, specialty-related basic courses and courses of methodology for scientific research. The methods used involve 'evaluation by students' and the integrated evaluation of both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of various factors. The easy-to-use student's questionnaires make it possible to find, with respect to students, teachers, and courses, many factors affecting the teaching quality, and at the same time, to provide the close following-up of the process of postgraduate training.

A 73-year-old man developed a skin-colored granule-sized papule on the scrotum 10 years prior to the presentation,which had increased in size and number without obvious symptoms.Histopathological examination showed multiple enlarged intradermal cysts.The cyst wall consisted of one or two layers of flat or columnar cells.Decapitation secretion was seen in the inner layer cells,and the out layer of cysts was formed by flat or cubic myoepithelial cells.A diagnosis of apocrine hidrocystoma of the scrotum is made.

Objective To investigate the effects of high dose atovastatin administration on platelet activity and ventricular remodeling of patients with ST-Segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods A total of 260 STEMI patients who hospitalized in our Department of Cardiology from June 2012 to December 2013 was enrolled and randomly divided into two groups:controlled group (n =140) and high dose atorvastatin group (n =120).Indicators of platelet activities including mean platelet volume (MPV),platelet large cell ratio (P-LCR),blood CD62p,and glucose protein Ⅱ b/Ⅲa (PAC-1) were measured before and 48 hours after PCI.TIMI myocardial perfusion grade (TMPG) after PCI was recorded and patients accepted ultrasound cardiogram (UCG) examinations 5 ～7 days after PCI and 6 months after discharge.After PCI,Patients were followed up for 6 months,statin-associated liver impairment,myopath and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) happened during follow-up periods were recorded.Results MPV,P-LCR,CD62p,and PAC-1 in patients of high dose atorvastatin group were less than controlled group and TMPG were better than controlled group [(12.96±1.73)fl vs (14.18 ± 1.86)fl,P ＜0.05;(29.12 ±5.83)％ vs (30.66 ±6.12)％,P ＜ 0.05;(45.36±5.24)％ vs (48.44±4.75)％,P ＜0.01;(74.61 ±5.57)％ vs (78.55±5.78)％,P ＜0.01].Six months after PCI,UCG examination showed that Left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LV-EDV),left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in high dose group were less than controlled group while the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was higher than controlled group [(110.46 ±8.86)ml vs (112.61 ±8.5)ml,P ＜0.01;(60.16 ±6.13)ml vs (63.52 ± 5.54)ml,P ＜0.01;(1O1.69±4.35)g/m2 vs (103.96 ±4.17)g/m2,P ＜0.05;(50.08 ±3.78)％ vs (48.47 ± 4.12) ％,P ＜ 0.05].After 6 months of follow-up,the incidence rate of statin-associated liver impairment and myopathe had no significant difference between two groups and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed patients of two groups had significantly different cumulative non-events survival rates (91.7％ vs 82.4％,Log rank =4.409,P =O.036).Conclusions Loading dose atorvastatin before PCI combined high maintenance dose after PCI can inhibit platelet activation and improve myocardial perfusion levels of patients with STEMI underwent primary PCI.It also can reduce Left ventricular remodeling and improve patient's prognosis without increasing side effects.
