Marine medicine is an important part of Chinese medicine and a growth point of the development of marine economy. Current researches of marine medicine had ignored accumulated experience in clinical medicine for thousands of years of development of marine medicine and the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory. In this article, we proposed a research mode of Mining experience-Clinical validation-Targets screening-Component screening-Component compatibility-Mechanism study under the guidance of the hypothesis of Nature-Effect-Material Trialism to study marine medicine. Kun Hai Jiang Xin (KHJX) Decoction is a marine formula drawn from the experience of ancient physicians by data mining techniques. Clinical study found that KHJX Decoction can significantly improve the overall clinical efficacy of chronic bronchitis with good clinical safety. Under the guidance of TCM herbal theory, object presented here is based on the work of KHJX Decoctionmining experience - clinical validation. The molecular docking method and receptor-ligand binding assay were applied to screen effective components from herbs of KHJX Decoction and the compatibility plan of effective components under the guidance of the principle of cold and heat effects compatibility. This study is of great significance to clarify the material basis and molecular mechanism of KHJX Decoction in the treatment of chronic bronchitis. It provides a new research mode for marine drug research.

BACKGROUND: Some studies have shown that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and al ograft bone have a certain role for repairing bone defects, but the effectiveness on cancel ous bone defects is seldom reported so far. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effectiveness of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells combined with al ogeneic bone on cancel ous bone defects. METHODS: The models of cancel ous bone defects (0.6 cm×1.2 cm) were made artificial y in both condylus lateralis femoris of New Zealand white rabbits: one side served as model group implanted with combination of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and al ogeneic bone, and the other side was considered as control group implanted with al ogeneic bone. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The model group was better than the control group in new bone growth and defect repair at 4, 8, 12 weeks after implantation, which was confirmed by general observation, X-ray examination and hematoxylin-eosin staining. There was a large amount of trabecular bone formation and mature lamel ar bone tissue in bone defects of model group by histological observation at 12 weeks after implantation, and bone defects of the model group were repaired basical y; while there were only abundant woven bones in the control group, and bone defects in the control group were not repaired effectively. Scores on Lane-Sandhu’s X-ray combined with histological observation were higher in the model group than the control group (P < 0.05). Biomechanical test showed that the maximum pressure load of the femoral condyle and load/strain ratio in the model group were significantly higher than those in the control group at 12 weeks after implantation (P < 0.05),while the maximum strain and displacement of the model group was lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05). These findings suggest that the combination of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and al ogeneic bone is superior to simple al ogeneic bone implantation in the repair of cancel ous bone defects of the femoral condyle.

Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome ( OSAHS) is a prevalent disorder often associated with multisystem dys-function.Available therapies are limited by either lack of long-term adherence or low response rates .Two emerging therapies hold promise in providing alternatives to patients with OSA .The first stems from the importance of the upperairway dilator muscles in main-taining pharyngeal stability .Electrical stimulation of the genioglossus muscle improves both upper-airway diameter and ameliorates pha-ryngeal obstruction .The results of phase ⅠandⅡclinical trials hold promise , but the reported improvements in the apnea-hypopnea index vary between subjects and long-term safety needs further studies .The second technology relies on creating an increased expiratory nasal resistance via a bidirectional valve designed to be worn just inside the nostrils .Initial findings of clinical trials suggest reduction in severity of sleep apnea and subjective daytime sleepiness .Considerable heterogeneity in response to the nasal device was noted de-spite the high adherence rates .It remains unclear which patients will likely benefit from these devices .

Objective To investigate the effect of RNAi-mediated survivin gene with conditionally replicating adenovirus Ad-de-lE1b55KD-shRNA/survivin-EGFP silencing on propagation and apoptosis of colon carcinoma cell lines HT-29 .Methods Ad-de-lE1b55KD-shRNA/survivin-EGFP was transfected to transplantation tumor on athymic mouse ,replication defective adenovirus and liposome vector which was contained the same shRNA as Ad-delE1b55KD-shRNA/survivin-EGFP were as control one .Then the change of transplantation tumor on athymic mouse was tested ,and TUNEL was used to assay the apoptosis rate of transplantation tumor cells .Results After transfection of Ad-delE1b55KD-shRNA/survivin-EGFP ,the quality of transplantation tumor on athymic mouse were reduced and the apoptosis rate of transplantation tumor cells were higher than replication defective adenovirus and lipo -some vector which was contained the same shRNA (P<0 .05) .Conclusion The effect of Ad-delE1b55KD-shRNA/survivin-EGFP to colon carcinoma cell on propagation and apoptosis were higher than replication defective adenovirus and liposome vector .

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of tranilast on cardiac fibroblasts proliferation and phenotype transformation incubated with a high concentration of glucose and the possible mechanism. METHODS The cardiac fibroblasts were divided into seven groups in accordance with different nutrient solutions:normal control group(5.5 mmol · L-1 glucose),hypertonic group(5.5 mmol · L-1 glucose+mannitol 25 mmol · L- 1),high glucose group (25 mmol · L- 1 glucose),tranilast intervention groups (25 mmol·L-1 glucose+tranilast 50,100 and 200μmol·L-1),and activin receptor-like kinase 7(ALK7) inhibitor group(25 mmol · L-1 glucose+10μmol · L-1 SB431542). The cell proliferation was detected by MTT method. The transformation of cardiac fibroblasts was determined by immunfluorescence staining. The expression of fibroblast specific protein 1 (FSP-1),α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA),transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)and ALK7 was assessed by Western blotting. RESULTS Compared with nor?mal control group,A492 nm of cells in high glucose group was significantly increased(P<0.01),while the expression of α-SMA,TGF-β1 and ALK7 protein in high glucose group was significantly increased(P<0.01),but FSP-1 protein was significantly decreased(P<0.01). There was no difference between normal control group and hypertonic group. Compared with high glucose group,A492 nm of cells in tranilast or SB431542 intervention groups were decreased(P<0.05),and the expression of α-SMA,TGF-β1 and ALK7 protein was significantly decreased(P<0.05),but the expression of FSP-1 protein was increased (P<0.05)in tranilast or SB431542 intervention groups. CONCLUSION Tranilast can inhibit the proliferation and phenotype transformation of cardiac fibroblasts induced by high glucose,which may be related to down-regulation of the expression of ALK7.
