Objective: To study the factors affecting the content of magnolol which is one of the main active components in Magnolia Bark Three Agents Decoction. Methods: The contents of magnolol in extracts of Magnalia Bark Three Agents Decoction (medicinal materids were decocted alone, together or in different compatibleness, and residuals) were determined by HPLC. The effects of use amount of Radix et Rhizoma Rhei and Fructus Aurantii Immaturus, decoction time, and extraction times on magnolol content were studied by orthogonal design.Results: The content of magnolol in Magnolia Bark Three Agents Decoction of which medicinal materials were decocted together was over double that of which they were decocted alone. The dissolution sate of magnolol increased with the increasing of the use amount of Fructus Aurantii Immaturus and extraction times. Conclusion: Fructus Aurantii Immaturuns and extraction times are the main factors affecting magnolol content in Magnolia Bark Three Agents Decoction.

Hydrolysate of Area subcrenata (HA) was found to be effective in lowering the elevated SGPT level induced by carbon tetrachloride, thioacetamide (TAA) and pred-nisolone. In addition, HA was shown to shorten sodium pentobarbital sleeping time in both normal and carbon tetrachloride intoxicated mice. The results indicated that HA possessesa significantl protective action on liver injuries in mice.

With the development of molecular diagnostic techniques, the study for the etiology of leukemia has been entering the era of the molecular biology.Molecular techniques for leukemia diagnosis, prognosis and individualized therapy are used widely, becoming one of the necessary routine tests for patients with leukemia. So far, molecular techniques for leukemiaincluding cytogenetic diagnosis, molecular genetics, molecular diagnostics based on PCR, mutation detection, as well as a variety of next-generation sequencing, have played an important role in the diagnosis of leukemia, minimal residual disease monitoring, prognosis and targeted therapy.

AIM: To isolate,identify and screen active compounds of simplitied formula of Danggui Shaoyao Power(poria,Rhizoma Atracty-lodis Macrocephalae,and Radix Angeliae Sinensis). METHODS: Compounds in the fraction of CO_2 supercritical fluid extraction(SFE-CO_2) were isolated by silica gel chromatography and detected the protective effect on KCl-induced PC12 cell damage. RESULTS: Twelve compounds were obtained,and nine of them were identified as atractylenolide Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,biatractylenolide,levistolid A,pachymic acid,ferulic acid,?-sitosterol and ?-daucosterol,of which only atractylenolide Ⅲ can improve the cell viability significantly. CONCLUSION: Atractylenolide Ⅲ may be one of the active compounds of FBD in curing vascular dementia.

Objective To explore the mutation spectrum of breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility gene 1/2 (BRCA1/2) which was related to breast cancer in female residents of Wuhan,and assess the relation of gene mutation and risk of suffering breast cancer.Methods 128 cases of female individuals,including 58 cases of breast cancer after surgery,70 cases of benign breast disease,and 50 femal hcalthy volunteers were selected by simple randon sampling from Department of Breast Surgery of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University.BRCA1/2 gene was sequenced and compared with the standard template sequence to explore the possible mutations.Results In the breast cancer group,mutation emerged in 11 cases and the mutation rate was 19.0％ (11/58),including 8 cases of the BRCA1 gene mutations (3 cases of 185 del AG,5 case of 5382 ins C) and 3 cases of the BRCA2 gene mutations (2 cases of 6174 del T,1 case of C5773T) ; in the benign breast disease group,mutation emerged in 5 cases,the mutation rate was 7.1％(5/70),including 4 cases of the BRCA1 gene mutations (1 case of 185 del AG,3 cases of 5382 ins C),and 1 case of the BRCA2 gene mutation (6174 del T).There was no mutation detected in healthy control group.The mutation rate of the breast cancer group was significantly higher than that of benign breast disease group and healthy control group (x2 =4.05,10.56,P ＜ 0.05); However,there was no significant difference between benign breast disease group and healthy control group (x2 =3.73,P ＞0.05).Conclusions The mutation of BRCA1 gene (185 del AG,5382 ins C) and BRCA2 gene (6174 del T,C5773T) is in the presence of female residents in Wuhan.Furthermore,the mutation in BRCA1/2 gene increases the risk of breast cancer.

Objective The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between the oral health habit and halitosis. It can provide an advisory basis for nurse giving individualized oral health instruction to patients of halitosis and can improve the result of prevention and treatment for halitosis accordingly. Methods 202 patients with periodontal disease were chosen to participate in this study. The study included the questionnaire of oral health habit and the halitosis diagnosis by organoleptic assessment.Comparisons of difference in the knowledge of oral health habit between the subjects with and without halitosis were conducted. Results Brushing times in subjects without halitosis were significantly more than that in subjects with halitosis. Brushing teeth in evening and interproximal brush usage were much better in subjects without halitosis than that in subjects with halitosis,respectively. Conclusions Good oral health habits could decrease the incidence of halitosis.

Objective To explore the accuracy and clinical application of Pyrosequencing for detection of drug resistant relevant mutation in the polymerase gene of Hepatitis B virus (HBV).Methods Compared with Sanger sequencing,the accuracy and sensitivity of Pyrosequencing were assessed.Pyrosequencing was used to determine the serum of 1164 patients with chronic Hepatitis B and its results were analyzed.Results The sensitivity of Pyrosequencing was 1 × 103 KIU/L,the same as Sanger sequencing.But Pyrosequencing was more stable and specific than Sanger sequencing to detect low rate of mutation with over 10％ mutation.The mutations couldn't be detected in 248 patients with chronic Hepatitis B,but positive results occurred in 919 patients,among them,61.5 ％ without mutation,38.5 ％ with mutation (including 47.5％ of the single locus mutation and 52.5％ of the combined mutation).Other sites had different degree of mutations except the sites of rtI169T and rtA194T; the main mutation sites in patients with chronic Hepatitis B were rtM204V/I (32.1％),rtL180M (19.8％),rtA181V/T (6.7％) and rtN236T (5.3％),in which fractional mutation had high ratio in the sites of rtA181V/T (6.7％) and rtN236T (5.3％).Conclusions Pyrosequencing has good sensitivity,specificity and accuracy and can early detect the drug resistant relevant mutation in the polymerase gene of HBV,which is suitable for monitoring patients with chronic Hepatitis B for the treatment of nucleoside analogues (acid).The different sites and frequencies of mutations may be associated with different habits of doctors for using different anti-HBV drugs.

Objective: To observe the effect of DSP on three models of memory dysfunction,so as to provide evidence for its potential therapeuticaction for senile dementia.Methods: Three kinds of memory dysfunction are induced by scopolamine,reserpine and ovariectomy respectively,and memory ability is measured through step through and water maze tests.Meanwhile AchE activity in front cortex, hippocampus,striatum and limlic lobe of rats injected scopalamine is determined.Results: DSP can significantly prolong the step through latency,and decrease AchE activity in different parts of rats injeted scopalamine.And DSP can remarkably prolong latency,and increase uterus index of mice after ovariectomy.On the other hand,DSP can shorten water maze latency,enhance the correction percentage of mice injected reserpine.Conclusions:DSP can improve the memory dysfunction possibly through below pathways:(1)enhance the cholinergic system;(2)antagonize the decrease of monoamino transmitter;(3)has the possible estrogen like action.

Objective:To investigate the effects of Origin-Preserving Decoction on the proliferation of marrow hematopoietic cells in aplastic anemia mice. Methods:Based on experimental AA models induced by Benzene and 60Co radiation in mice, the experiments including semi-solid colony culture (CFU-GM、CFU-E、BFU-E) and liquid culture (MTT Assay) were undertaken to investigate the effects of Origin-Preserving Decoction on the proliferation of marrow hematopoietic cells in AA mice. Results:Origin-Preserving Decoction (3g/kg) (ig.) could improve the outputs of CFU-GM, CFU-E and BFU-E in AA mice damaged by benzene and 60Co radiation: MTT assay showed that Origin-Preserving Decoction could stimulate the hematopoeisis of bone marrow of AA mice radiated by 60Co. Conclusions: Origin-Preserving Decoction has a good future for AA therapy.
