1.Quality standard for Puerarin for Injection
Chinese Traditional Patent Medicine 1992;0(08):-
Objective: To establish the quality standard for Puerarin for Injection (PF). Methods : HPLC was used to determine puerarinum content and test its related compounds. Results : The method can test related compounds with a detection limit of 0.1ng. There is a good linearity in the range of 1.5~10?g?mL -1 of puerarin. The average recovery was 99.7% and RSD was 0.3%, respectively. Conclusion : The method is suitable for the quality control of PF.

Objective To investigate the genetic polymorphisms of 27 Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STR) loci included in Yfiler(R) Plus kit in Han population of Chaoshan area,and explore the population genetic relationships and evaluate its application value on forensic medicine.Methods By detecting 795 unrelated Chaoshan Han males with Yfiler(R) Plus kit,haplotype frequencies and population genetics parameters of the 27 Y-STR loci were statistically analyzed and compared with available data of other populations from different races and regions for analyzing the genetic distance and clustering relation of Chaoshan Han population.Results Seven hundred and eighty-seven different haplotypes were observed in 795 unrelated male individuals,of which 779 haplotypes were unique,and 8 haplotypes occurred twice.The haplotype diversity (HD) was 0.999975 with discriminative capacity (DC) of 98.99%.The gene diversity (GD) at the 27 Y-STR loci ranged from 0.3637(DYS391) to 0.9559(DYS385a/b).Comparing with Asian reference populations,the genetic distance (Rst) between Chaoshan Han and Guangdong Han was the smallest (0.0036),while it was relatively larger between Chaoshan Han and Gansu Tibetan population (0.0935).The multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) plot based on Rst values was similar to the results of clustering analysis.Conclusion Multiplex detection of the 27 Y-STR loci reveals a highly polymorphic genetic distribution in Chaoshan Han population,which demonstrates the important significance of Yfiler(R) Plus kit for establishing a Y-STR database,studying population genetics,and for good practice in forensic medicine.

Objective To establish the rapid PCR am plification program and system and to verify the technical indexes. Methods PCR m ultiplex and capillary electrophoresis detection of 24 autosom al STR loci and one Y-STR loci using the 6-color fluorescence m arking technology, as w ell as Amelogenin and Y-InDel. Meanw hile, sensitivity, specificity, identity, stability, m ixing and a batch of sam ple tests w ere investigated, and the genotype of various routine sam ples and degraded, exfoliated cell sam ples w ere observed. Results The sensitivity of the system w as 0.062 5 ng. In addition, the genotype could be detected accu-rately only around 65 m in via rapid am plification. The species-specificity w as high and the genotyping of all kinds of dry blood specim ens of filter paper and m ixed, degraded, exfoliated cell sam ples w ere accu-rate. Conclusion The rapid am plification system can significantly im prove the detection rate, and obtain accurate and stable genotyping results, w hich m ay be im portant im plications for the establishm ent of STR database and study on population genetics and forensic identification.

Objective:To observe the efficacy of Tegafur gimeracil oteracil potassium(Gio) capsules combined with oxaliplatin in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer,and explore its effect on matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) expression in cancer tissues. Methods: Totally 120 patients with advanced gastric cancer were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group, and both groups were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy for 3 cycles as follows:the observation group was given Gio capsules and oxaliplatin,and the control group was given 5-fluorouracil combined with oxaliplatin. The short term efficacy,adverse reactions and ex-pression of MMP-9 in cancer tissue before and after the chemotherapy were observed in the two groups. Results:After the treatment, the objective response rate in the two groups had no significant difference(P>0.05);the clinical benefit rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05);the incidence of severe bone marrow suppression and liver and kid-ney dysfunction in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05);after the treatment,the pos-itive expression of MMP-9 in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion:Gio capsules combined with oxaliplatin can improve the clinical benefit rate of the patients with advanced gastric cancer,and effectively re-duce the expression of MMP-9 in cancer tissue.

After ischemic stroke, the key to reduce the mortality and disability rate is to restore the blood supply of brain tissue as soon as possible. However, the cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) caused by blood flow restoration is also an important cause of brain tissue structural damage and dysfunction. Studies in recent years have shown that the activation of mitophagy at CIRI stage can reduce the volume of cerebral infarction and protect neurons from CIRI, while excessive or insufficient mitophagy can aggravate CIRI. This suggests that inducing moderate mitophagy may be a potential therapeutic target for neuroprotection after stroke. However, the neuroprotective mechanism of mitophagy has not yet been fully elucidated. This article reviews the neuroprotective mechanism and potential application of mitophagy in stroke, and discusses some problems of mitophagy as a therapeutic target for stroke.
