OBJECTIVE To establish the fingerprint and multi-component content determination method of Crataegus pinnatifida leaves from different producing areas, and to evaluate the quality of C. pinnatifida leaves and screen the differential markers. METHODS Seventy-eight batches of C. pinnatifida leaves were collected from Chengde of Hebei Province, Huludao of Liaoning Province, Yuncheng of Shanxi Province and Linyi of Shandong Province. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and Similarity Evaluation System for Traditional Chinese Medicine Chromatographic Fingerprints (2012 edition) were used to draw the fingerprints and conduct similarity evaluation. Grey correlation analysis, cluster analysis (CA), principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were performed by using SPSS 19.0, MetaboAnalyst 5.0 and SIMCA 14.1 software. The differential markers affecting the quality of C. pinnatifida leaves were screened with variable importance in the projection (VIP) value greater than 1 and the error line not exceeding the origin as the criterion. Using vitexin rhamnoside as an internal reference, the contents of chlorogenic acid, glucosylvitexin, hypericin and isoquercetin in 78 batches of C. pinnatifida leaves were determined by the same HPLC combined with quantitative analysis of multi- components by single-marker (QAMS), and the results were compared with external standard method. RESULTS Eight common peaks were calibrated in the fingerprints for 78 batches of C. pinnatifida leaves from 4 producing areas. Five known components were identified, including chlorogenic acid (peak 1), glucosylvitexin (peak 3), vitexin rhamnoside (peak 4), hypericin (peak 7) and isoquercetin (peak 8); their similarities ranged from 0.871 to 0.998. Average relative correlations of samples from Chengde of Hebei Province, Huludao of Liaoning Province, Yuncheng of Shanxi Province and Linyi of Shandong Province were 0.538, 0.528, 0.462 and 0.435, respectively. CA and PCA showed that the samples from Chengde of Hebei Province and Huludao of Liaoning Province were roughly classified into one category, while the samples from Linyi of Shandong Province and Yuncheng of Shanxi Province were roughly classified into one category; VIP values of peak 1, 2, 3 and 5 were all greater than 1. By QAMS, the relative correction factors of chlorogenic acid, glucosylvitexin, hypericin and isoquercetin were 0.401, 0.993, 1.670 and 1.615 (RSD<2%). Compared with external standard method, except for isoquercetin in the two batches of samples (S39 and S41), there was no significant difference in the content of each component in other batches of samples (the relative deviations≤ 5%). CONCLUSIONS The established fingerprint and QAMS method are simple to operate and can be used to evaluate the quality of C. pinnatifida leaves. The sample from Chengde of Hebei Province is relatively good in quality. Chlorogenic acid (peak 1), glucosylvitexin (peak 3), and the corresponding components of peaks 2 and 5 may be differential markers affecting the quality of C. pinnatifida leaves.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the most serious microvascular complications of diabetes and the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease. The onset and progression of DN are linked to the progression of renal fibrosis which is an important pathological feature and final pathological result of various chronic kidney diseases. As a result, therapies against renal fibrosis can help delay the progression of DN. The transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)/Smad signaling pathway is one of the key pathways in renal fibrosis. TGF-β1, a crucial mediator of renal fibrosis, is highly expressed in the case of fibrosis-associated kidney diseases, and Smads are the main effectors in the TGF-β1 signal transduction pathway. By activating Smads, TGF-β1 transports signals from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and regulates the transcription of fibrosis-related target genes, thus exerting the biological effects and promoting the progression of renal fibrosis. In recent years, Chinese medicine has become prominent in the prevention and treatment of DN, and there has been an explosion of research on Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of DN through the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway. Based on literature research, this paper reviewed the basic structure of the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway, the relationship with DN, and monomers and extract of Chinese medicine, Chinese patent medicine, and compound Chinese medicine prescriptions in improving and delaying the renal fibrosis based on the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway, and in alleviating inflammatory response and oxidative stress, reducing the accumulation of extracellular matrix, and inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition by regulating the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway. Thereby, this study is expected to provide new mindset for the treatment of DN.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6), a sensor to endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), would mediate advanced glycated albumin (AGE-alb)-induced macrophage apoptosis and to elucidate the possible molecular mechanisms. RAW264.7 macrophages were cultured in vitro and treated with AGE-alb (2, 4 and 6 g/L), normal control albumin or tunicamycin (TM, 4 mg/L) for 24 h. ATF6 small interfering RNA (siRNA) was transfected to RAW264.7 cells by Lipofectamine 2000. Cell viability and apoptosis were determined by MTT method and Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide apoptosis detection kit, respectively. The activities of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in medium and caspase-3 in cells were measured by corresponding detection kits. ATF6 nuclear translocation was detected by Western blot and immunofluorescence cytochemistry. Protein and mRNA levels of C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP, a key-signaling component of ERS-induced apoptosis) were detected by Western blot and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, respectively. The results showed that similar to TM, AGE-alb increased the expression of CHOP at both the protein and mRNA levels in a concentration dependent manner. ATF6, as a factor that positively regulates CHOP expression, was activated by AGE-alb in a concentration dependent manner. siRNA-mediated knockdown of ATF6 significantly inhibited AGE-alb-induced macrophage injury, as indicated by the increased cell viability and the decreased LDH release, apoptosis and caspase-3 activation. Additionally, ATF6 siRNA attenuated AGE-alb-induced CHOP upregulation at both the protein and mRNA levels. These results suggest that ATF6 and its downstream molecule CHOP are involved in AGE-alb-induced macrophage apoptosis.

In order to confirm the tradition that bolting Saposhnikoviae Radix could not be used as medicine,the content of four chromone components in the cortex and wood of Saposhnikoviae Radix was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography( HPLC),and the chemical fingerprints were established,12 common peaks were calibrated. The similarity analysis found that the similarity between batches was 0. 115-0. 995,it indicates that the cortex and wood of Saposhnikoviae Radix have certain differences. On this basis,systematic clustering analysis,principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis were carried out with the content of four chromone components and whether they met the pharmacopoeia criteria as the original variables. The results showed that the content of the four components in the cortex of Saposhnikoviae Radix was much higher than that in the wood,and the four components detected were able to distinguish the cortex and the wood of Saposhnikoviae Radix. The results of the study reveal the tradition that bolting Saposhnikoviae Radix should not be used as medicine dut to decreased quality.

OBJECTIVE:
Newly identified human rhinovirus C (HRV-C) and human bocavirus (HBoV) cannot propagate in vitro in traditional cell culture models; thus obtaining knowledge about these viruses and developing related vaccines are difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a novel platform for the propagation of these types of viruses.
METHODS:
A platform for culturing human airway epithelia in a three-dimensional (3D) pattern using Matrigel as scaffold was developed. The features of 3D culture were identified by immunochemical staining and transmission electron microscopy. Nucleic acid levels of HRV-C and HBoV in 3D cells at designated time points were quantitated by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Levels of cytokines, whose secretion was induced by the viruses, were measured by ELISA.
RESULTS:
Properties of bronchial-like tissues, such as the expression of biomarkers CK5, ZO-1, and PCK, and the development of cilium-like protuberances indicative of the human respiration tract, were observed in 3D-cultured human airway epithelial (HAE) cultures, but not in monolayer-cultured cells. Nucleic acid levels of HRV-C and HBoV and levels of virus-induced cytokines were also measured using the 3D culture system.
CONCLUSION
Our data provide a preliminary indication that the 3D culture model of primary epithelia using a Matrigel scaffold in vitro can be used to propagate HRV-C and HBoV.

【Objective】 To investigate the unqualified rate of anti-HIV detection of blood screening laboratories in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and explore the differences in anti-HIV detection ability and influencing factors in each laboratory. 【Methods】 Through filling questionnaires via e-mail, the anti-HIV ELISA unqualified rate and confirmed (WB) positive results (data) from January to December 2018 from 15 blood screening laboratories in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region were collected. Our laboratory was responsible for data collection and confirmation, and statistics software SPSS22.0 was used for analysis. 【Results】 1) There was a statistically significant difference among the unqualified rate of anti-HIV ELISA(6.77‱~35.71‱) and confirmed positive rate(0.60‱~3.56‱) in 15 blood screening laboratories in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region (P<0.05); 2) There were significant differencse among the ELISA unqualified rate and the confirmed positive rate of 8 reagents for anti-HIV detection(P<0.01), and the sensitivity of the 4th generation detection reagent and the imported reagent was higher than that of the 3rd generation reagent and the domestic reagent. The anti-HIV ELISA unqualified rate of R5 was the highest (19.08‱). 3)There were significant differences in the anti-HIV ELISA unqualified rate of R1, R2, R3, R5 and R7 reagents among different blood station laboratories(P<0.05), and there were no significant differences in the anti-HIV ELISA unqualified rate of R4, R6 and R8 reagents among different blood station laboratories(P>0.05). 4)The unqualified rate of anti-HIV ELISA of laboratories using different regents showed significant differences(P<0.05), except H, J, M. The unqualified rate of imported reagent was significantly higher than that of domestic reagents of laboratories using imported and domestic reagents combinations(P<0.05), except O. 62.5% (5/8) laboratories using domestic 3rd and 4th generation reagent combination showed significant differences in the unqualified rates among different reagents(P<0.05); 5) The positive rate of single-reagent(62.02%~95.45%)in 15 blood screening laboratories showed significant difference(P<0.001), and A was the lowest (62.02%). 【Conclusion】 The anti-HIV detection ability among 15 blood screening laboratories in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is quite different. The application of different reagents is the main factor for the difference, and other factors such as personnel, instruments and test strategies also has a great impact on the detection of anti-HIV. It is still necessary to promote the process of homogenization of blood testing quality among blood screening laboratories in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
