Notch signaling is one of the most important signaling pathways in vertebrates and inverte -brates.It regulates apoptosis,proliferation,differentiation and so on.The up -regulation,down -regulation or structural changes of Notch signal are closely related to the development of various malignant tumors .In the pres-ent study,four Notch phenotypes(Notch1-4)have been identified,which bind to their ligands respectively (Jag-ged1,Jagged2,Delta1,Delta3,Delta4).Notch plays an important role in a variety of malignant tumors .This review focuses on the role of Notch in a variety of solid malignancies ,including its role in the process of tumor develop-ment and treatment .

Aim To investigate the anti-inflammatory activity of ruscogenin,a major sapogenin from Ophiopogon japonicus,effect of ruscogenin on cell adhesion is studied.Methods By MTT assay,effect of ruscogenin on normal and TNF-?-induced adhesion of human pro-myelocytic leukemia cell strain(HL-60)to venous endothelial cell strain(ECV304)was observed and effect of ruscogenin on the viability of ECV304 cells and HL-60 cells were investigated.Results Adhesion between HL-60 cells and ECV304 cells induced by TNF-? was significantly inhibited when ECV304 cells were pretreated with ruscogenin at the concentration of 0.1,1.0 ?mol?L~(-1).Meanwhile,ruscogenin remarkably inhibited TNF-a-induced adhesion when HL-60 cells were pretreated with ruscogenin at the concentration of 0.001,0.01,0.1 ?mol?L~(-1).On the other hand,their viability and adhesion of HL-60 cells to normal ECV304 cells were not affected at above concentrations.Conclusion Ruscogenin shows significant anti-inflammatory activity via inhibition of adherence of HL-60 cells to activated ECV304 cells.

OBJECTIVE:To provide basic industrial research and development recommendations for the supply-side structural reform in drug distribution in China. METHODS:Structure-conduct-performance(SCP)analysis paradigm from Harvard was used for in-depth study of market structure,business conduct and business performance in China since 2010. RESULTS:Since 2010, drug distribution industry in China had shown the scale of decline in the growth rate,low market concentration,increased barriers to entry,the leading of state-owned capital,etc. Though corporate mergers and acquisitions and public financing expanded the scale,management information,third-party logistics,Internet+and pharmacy alliance business model flourished,the industry op-erating performance was poor,state-owned enterprises showed poor performance. CONCLUSIONS:The transformation and upgrad-ing of the industry business model should be promoted by targetedly accelerating the supply-side structural reforms in the drug distri-bution industry,encouraging corporate finance mergers,breaking local protectionism,developing cooperative pharmacies and phar-maceutical third-party logistics alliances and leveraging the Internet.

Objective:To observe the effect of hair care products containing zinc pyrithione, pollen extract, sachitin and other ingredients assisted with finasteride in the treatment of androgenic alopecia.Methods:From June 2018 to February 2019, 60 male androgen alopecia patients aged 18-40 (30.85±4.73) years were enrolled in this study. 30 cases in each group were treated for 180 days, and finasteride 1 mg/day was taken orally in both groups. In the experimental group, on the basis of finasteride, hair care products containing zinc pyrithione, pollen extract, sachitin and other ingredients were used, while the control group was treated with common care products. The improvement of scalp and hair and the satisfaction of patients were evaluated before and after treatment.Results:After 180 days of treatment, the improvement of scalp oil ( t=2.744, P<0.05), pruritus ( t=2.574, P<0.05), dandruff ( t=2.579, P<0.05) and general sense of use ( t=2.134, P<0.05) in the experimental group were significantly better than those in the control group ( t=2.077, P<0.05). The hair density of the experimental group was significantly better than that of the control group ( P<0.05). The patients＇ satisfaction rates in the experimental group and the control group were 96.67% (29/30) and 83.33% (25/30), respectively; there was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). No adverse reactions were found in all patients.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the content variation rule and influencing factors of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(5-HMF)in the extraction process of the herbs Schisandra chinensis and improve the quality of monitoring the extract of Schisandra chinensis. METHODS:High performance liquid chromatography was adopted to determine the contents of 5-HMF in the extracts during the extraction process (decoction,vacuum concentration,alcohol precipitation,vacuum drying,alkali adjustment),and the content variation rule was found out. For vacuum drying during which the content of 5-HMF reduced obviously,the effects of the tempera-ture and time of drying on the content of 5-HMF were studied,and the effects of vacuum drying and freeze drying on the 5-HMF contents were compared. RESULTS:The content variation trend in the extraction process of Schisandra chinensis was as follows as a large amount of 5-HMF was produced in the herbs decoction process;the content of 5-HMF increased during concentration,re-duced during the alcohol precipitation and the vacuum drying of the extracts by three times concentrate,and maintained substantial-ly unchanged during alkali adjustment. In the process of vacuum drying,the content of 5-HMF decreased with temperature rise and time extension. Freeze drying had no effect as good as that of vacuum drying in the reduction in the content of 5-HMF. CON-CLUSIONS:It is suggested that the vacuum drying of the extracts by three times concentrate at higher temperature,which may pro-duce the extract of Schisandra chinensis with lower content of 5-HMF and thus improve the quality of Schisandra chinensis extract.

The study aims to develop a unified method to determine seven phenolic acids (neochlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid, 4-caffeoylquinic acid, caffeic acid, isochlorogenic acid B, isochlorogenic acid A and isochlorogenic acid C) contained in honeysuckle flower that is the monarch drug of all the eight Yinqiao Jiedu serial preparations using quantitative analysis of multi-components by single-marker (QAMS). Firstly, chlorogenic acid was used as a reference to get the average relative correction factors (RCFs) of the other phenolic acids in ratios to the reference; columns and instruments from different companies were used to validate the durability of the achieved RCFs in different levels of standard solutions; and honeysuckle flower extract was used as the reference substance to fix the positions of chromatographic peaks. Secondly, the contents of seven phenolic acids in eight different Yinqiao Jiedu serial preparations samples were calculated based on the RCFs durability. Finally, the quantitative results were compared between QAMS and the external standard (ES) method. The results have showed that the durability of the achieved RCFs is good (RSD during 0.80% - 2.56%), and there are no differences between the quantitative results of QAMS and ES (the relative average deviation < 0.93%). So it can be successfully used to the quantitative control of honeysuckle flower principally prescribed in Yinqiao Jiedu serial preparations.
