Huaier (Trametes robiniophila) has been widely used as an adjuvant drug for cancer treatment in China. The anti-cancer effect of Huaier extract has been confirmed in liver cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, gastric cancer, and so on. The main mechanisms by which Huaier exerts an anti-neoplastic effect include inhibition of the growth and proliferation of cancer cells, induction of apoptosis of cancer cells, suppression of angiogenesis, inhibition of the invasion and migration of cancer cells, regulation of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes expression, improving immunity, and reversal of drug resistance in cancer cells. In order to provide references for further study and clinical application on anti-tumor effect of Huaier, the latest research progress on anti-tumor effect of Huaier in recent years is summarized in this paper.

Objective; To evaluate the effects of gingival shade guide in visual shade-matching in vitro models. Methods; 42 tabs of Shofu NCC shade guide were adopted for color measuring. Each tab was fixed in the middle of Gingiva-Indicator, Guray(1,2,3,4) respectively and located in a black box. The measurements were made using the Shadepilot instrument. The color parameters ( CIE1976L * a * b * ) of cervical, body, incisal area of each tab were recorded. The color difference A E value in the same position of each tab was calculated between non-gingival shade guide group and Gumyl ,2,3,4 groups with Shadepilot software. Results; The AE value in the same position of 42 tabs between non-gingival shade guide group and 4 gingival shade guide groups were; cervical (2.93±0.79)NBS,body(0.51±0.27)NBS and incisal(0.61 ±0.29)NBS. In the cervical, body and incisal area, there was no statistically difference among Gumyl ,2,3,4 groups on affecting shade of tabs(P >0. 05). Conclusion; The gingival color has an effect on the cervical shade of tabs, and it can be recognized by human eyes, while gingival color has little effect on the shade of body and incisal area.

Objective To explore the influence of hospital- based transitional care on the rehabilita-tion of patients with enterostomy, and provide evidence- based reference for specialist care of the enterostomy patients. Methods The randomized controlled trials on the hospital- based transitional care in enterostomy patients were collected by computer using China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database, Chinese Science Technology Periodical Database, Wanfang Periodical Database, Foreign Medical Information Resources Database and PubMed from the building of the database till December 2014, and analyzed by RevMan 5.2 software. Results Sixteen articles were included in the study, involving 1 263 patients with enterostomy. The results of Meta- analysis revealed that the incidence of complications in transitional care patients was lower than that in conventional discharge guidance patients, odds ratio(95% confidence interval) was 0.31 (0.21-0.45), the difference was significant (Z=6.02, P<0.01), and the quality of life was raised (including the physical function, cognitive function, role function, emotional functions, social function and the total quality of life), weighted mean differences (95% confidence interval) were 13.81 (8.23-19.39), 22.00 (17.21-26.79), 15.22(11.71-18.73), 16.68(13.01-20.35), 22.60(16.58-28.62), 17.46(13.53-21.38),the differences were significant(P<0.01). Conclusions The transitional care model giving priority to hospital service resources can provide a higher level professional care for patients after enterostomy, and avoid or reduce the complications, promote the recovery earlier as well as constantly improve the quality of life.

Objective To study the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome(SARA). Methods Clinical data from 682 patients with SARS were retrospectively analyzed. Results The patients ranged from 13 to 76 years old, 387 male and 295 female. A total of 356 patients (52.2) had a history of close contact with diagnosed SARS patients, and 113 (25.1%) had been to hospital ever. The most common symptom was fever (99.3%), followed by cough (44.4%), shortness of breath (12.2% ), diarrhea (8.9%). 596 patients (87.4%) had normal or decreased white blood cell counts. Serum ALT and CPK levels were elevated in 112 patients (16.4%)and 17 patients (2.5%) respectively. Infiltrates on chest radiography were seen in all patients, with 69.8% involved both lungs. Six patients (0.9%) died of SARS. Conclusion SARS is infectious. Hospital is an important place where SARS transmits. Fever, cough and infiltrative changes on chest radiography are mainly symptoms and signs.

One strain of Pseudoalteromonas sp. E18 was isolated from the sea mud of Ningbo, Zhejiang. It can produce indigo pigment. The morphological, cultural and biochemical characteristics of the bacterium were studied. The indigo pigment was also extracted. The results showed that the maximum absorption peak of the pigment was at 579nm. The pigment was stable to UV, Na_2SO_3,It was also stable at pH 3~9. The pigment was unstable to the sunlight and high concentration H_2O_2. Temperature of 60℃~80℃ could increase the hue while temperature higher than 90℃ could reduce the hue.

Objective To evaluate the effects of two different dosage of rosuvastatin on endothelial dysfunction in diabetic rats. Methods The 24 diabetic rats were randomly divided into three groups (n=8,each): diabetic control group, 20 mg rosuvastatin daily (RV 20 mg group) and 10mg rosuvastatin daily for 8 weeks (RV 10 mg group) and normal control group (SD group). The levels of blood glucose, lipid, nitric oxide(NO) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) were measured before and 8 weeks after treatment. Results The levels of blood glucose were higher in all diabetic rats groups than in SD group before experiment (P<0. 01). Compared with diabetic rats control group, blood glucose was slightly lower in RV 10 mg group and RV 20 mg group at 8 weeks (P>0. 05). The plasma NO level was significantly lower in diabetic rats control group than in SD group (P<0. 05).After 8 weeks, plasma NO levels were significantly higher in RV 20 mg and RV 10 mg groups than in diabetic rats control group (P<0. 01 or P<0. 05). The plasma levels of ET-1 was significantly higher in diabetic rats control group than in SD group (P<0. 01). After 8 weeks, plasma ET-1 levels were significantly lower in RV 20 mg and RV 10 mg group than in diabetic rats control group (P<0. 01).Meanwhile, the plasma lipids were lower in RV 20 mg and RV 10 mg group than in diabetic control group (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). Conclusions Rosuvastatin can adjust blood lipids and significantly improve endothelial function in diabetic rats by increasing plasma NO level and decreasing plasma ET-1 level.

Objective To evaluate efficacy and mechanism of Anluohuaxian pilule combined with interferon-γ in the treatment of schistosomal liver fibrosis. To preliminarily study on the relationship of pigment deposition in liver and schistosomal liver fibrosis. Methods Thirty Kunming mice were divided into the normal control group, the infection control group and the combination of Anluohuaxian pilule and Interferon-γ treated group. Schistosomal liver fibrosis model was established by infection with 40 Schistosoma japonicum cercariae. The treated group was treated by combination of Anluohuaxian pilule and Interferon-γ for 8 weeks. The changes of pigment deposition and hepatic egg granuloma in Schistosoma japonicum infected mice were observed. Expressions of collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ were detected by immunohistochemistry. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 was detected by fluorescent polymerase chain reaetion(PCR). Histopathology and computer image analysis were applied to evaluate the change in the liver tissues. Results The amount of pigment deposition in liver was related to the expression of TGF-β1 mRNA (correlation coefficient = 0. 8). Compared to the infection control group, combination of Anluohuaxian pilule and Interferon-γ can lessen hepatic fibrosis(P<0.05). The combination therapy can also make pigment deposition less and hepatic granuloma smaller than the infection control group(P<0. 05). Conclusions Pigment deposition in liver is related to the expression of TGF-β 1. Combination of Anluohuaxian pilule and Interferon-γ can lessen hepatic fibrosis in mice infected with Schistosoma japonicum. It's one mechanism to of the combination therapy down-regulate the expression of collagen Ⅰ, Ⅲ and TGF-β 1.
