AIM: To evaluate its pharmacodynamic effects of zhi-chuan-ling (ZCL) oral liquor, a traditional Chinese medicinal prescription, on asthma. METHODS: Asthma models of guinea pigs were established by aerosol inhalation of mixed solution of histamine and acetylcholine for the observation of effects of ZCL on the latent period of asthma attack. Some other indices were also investigated including the contraction of smooth muscle strips isolated from the trachea or intestinum ileum, and variations of the tracheal volume and the bronchotracheal perfusion in guinea pigs. RESULTS: ZCL elongated the latent period of asthma attack induced by areol inhalation of mixed solution of histamine and acetylcholine, antagonized activities against the contraction of the trachea and intestinum ileum induced by histamine or acetlcholine, and increased the tracheal volume and the bronchotracheal perfusion in ginea pigs in vitro. CONCLUTION: ZCL can reduce airway hyperresponsibility, relax bronchospasm, remit ventilation disturbance, and improve ventilatory function by its biologic activities against acetlcholin and histamine.

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.

This study was aimed to establish a fast determination method of main components in honey. Honey samples from difference production bases were used as study objects. Transmission and reflection spectra of different honey samples were collected with the Fourier transform near infrared spectrometer. The main components in honey (moisture content, fructose content, glucose content and reducing sugar content) were detected by the near infrared quantitative analysis technique. The near infrared quantitative analysis models of moisture content, fructose content, glucose content and reducing sugar content in honey were established by the partial least squares (PLS). The results showed that the correlation coefficient (r) of the moisture content, fructose content, glucose content and reducing sugar content in honey were 0.997 25, 0.973 90, 0.927 94 and 0.952 68, respectively. The root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) were 0.165 (%), 0.564 (%), 1.300 (%) and 1.270 (%), respectively. It was concluded that determination of main components in honey by the near-infrared spectroscopy technology was a fast and nondestructive determination method with high accuracy, which can be used in the quantitative detection of main components in honey.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and tolerance of antiretroviral therapy (ART)regimen containing lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) as a second-line regimen.Methods Data of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients who have received the first-line therapy for over a year and changed to the second-line antiviral therapy regimen containing LPV/r for more than one year were collected retrospectively from the database of free antiviral therapy in Henan Province from January 1,2009 to December 31,2013.Based on the viral load inhibition status after the alteration of the regimen,the patients were assigned to virology failure with first-line therapy group,and successful viral inhibition but poor immunological reconstruction with first-line therapy group.The variation trend of CD4+ T lymphocyte counts of the two groups in 6,12,24 months after changed to the second-line regimen of LPV/r,the virology inhibition rates between 6 and 12 months,12 and 24 months,and occurrence of adverse events were analyzed.Quantitative data were analyzed by rank sum test,and qualitative data were analyzed by chi-square test.Results A total of 4 113 patients were divided into two groups,including the first-line therapy failure group (n=3 802) and poor immunological reconstruction group (n=311).At 6,12 and 24 months after the alteration of the regimen,the CD4+ T lymphocyte counts increased gradually (all P<0.01).Between 6 and 12 months after the first-line therapy failure group changed to the secondline regimen,viral inhibition rate was 61.65%(1 408/2 284),while that 12 and 24 months was 68.91%(2 044/2 966).The incidences of adverse reaction of the two groups were 21.88% (832/3 802) and 22.19%(69/311),respectively,which were not significantly different (x2 =0.015,P=0.901).Condusion The ART regimen containing LPV/r still has good viral inhibition effect and immunological reconstruction effect for AIDS patients who failed the initial therapy with poor immunological reconstruction.

Objective To investigate the effect of signal transducers and activators of transcription 3(STAT-3)on sen-sitizing oral squamous cell carcinoma to cis-dichlorodiamineplatinum via downregulating miRNA-21. Methods Tscca and Tca8113P160 human tongue squamous cell carcinoma cell lines were employed in this study. WP1066 was used to suppress STAT-3 signaling pathway. Cells were divided into three groups:dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) group, cis-dichlorodiamine-platinum (DDP) group and WP1066+DDP group. Transcription level of miR-21 was assessed by real-time PCR, while the expression levels of STAT-3, p-STAT-3, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 (TIMP-3) and matrix metalloproteinase-2/9 (MMP-2/9 ) were evaluated by Western blot assay. Matrigel matrix and transwell assay were used to determine cancer cell colony formation and invasive ability respectively. Expression level of miR-21 was examined by luciferase reporter gene as-say. Results Expression levels of STAT-3, pSTAT-3 and miR-21 were significantly suppressed by WP1066 treatment. The diameters of culture colony in cells treated with WP1066 and DDP were smaller than those in control group. The number of tongue cancer cells that migrated through the transwell membrane in WP1066 and DDP treated group was less than that in control group. Additionally, MMP-2/9 expression decreased while TIMP-3 increased dramatically in both cell lines in WP1066+DPP group compared to the other two groups. Conclusion Reduction of STAT-3 can sensitize oral squamous cell carcinoma to cis-dichlorodiamineplatinum via downregulating miR-21. Our study shows that DDP, in combination with WP1066, might be used as a potential target in the treatment of human oral squamous cell cancer.
