Chinese materia medica (CMM) has double complexity in bioactive ingredient and its mechanism. It is difficult to explain by the modern biomedicine theory So it seriously restricts the modernization of CMM The modern CMM should have the high quality standard to meet the needs of international standard It can be guaranteed by spreading the GAP for Chinese medicinal materials and GMP for standard production The mechanism depends on using the DNA microarray to set up “the gene expression difference chart”, to study on the combination of CMM and gene expression difference chart Meanwhile, we can establish a totally new method of screening modern CMM based on the gene expression difference chart, it can really make the modernization and internationalization of CMM

BACKGROUND:Staphylococcal infections and its biofilm formation can occur when orthopedic implants or wound is healing, and are regulated by bacterial population sensing mechanism. RNAIII inhibiting peptide intervenes the quorum-sensing system of staphylococcal and blocks the signal transduction among staphylococcal cells, and inhibits staphylococcal biofilm formation, and then prevents staphylococcal infections.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the influence of RNAIII inhibiting peptide on the adhesion of staphylococcus epidermis to the Hela cells.
METHODS:The Hela cells were cultured in vitro. There were four groups in this study. In the blank group, saline with dimethyl sulfoxide was added in each wel . In the RNAIII inhibiting peptide group, dimethyl sulfoxide solution containing RNAIII inhibiting peptide was added. In the levofloxacin group, levofloxacin was added. In the combination group, the dose was in accordance with above methods. Using intergroup control method, the adhesion of staphylococcus epidermis to the Hela cells was compared under the effects of saline, RNAIII inhibiting peptide and levofloxacin and their combination.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the blank group, abundant bacterial adhered to Hela cells. The number of adhered bacteria was significantly lower in each medicine group than in the blank group (P<0.001). The spot count was significantly lower in the levofloxacin group than in the RNAIII inhibiting peptide group (P<0.05). In the combination group, the number of bacteria adhered to Hela cells was decreased (P<0.01). Results verified that RNAIII inhibiting peptide effectively suppressed the adhesion of staphylococcus epidermis to the host cells, and showed synergistic effects on antibiotics.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of Shenluo'an Decoction(SD) for the treatment of obese patients with early diabetic nephropathy and to explore the possible mechanism.Methods A total of 68 obese patients with early diabetic nephropathy were randomly assigned into control group and treatment group,34 cases in each group.Both groups were given conventional western medicine treatment including lifestyle regulation,dietary control,and medicine for lowering blood pressure,blood glucose and blood lipids.Additionally,the control group was given oral use of Irbesartan,and the treatment group was given oral use of SD combined with Irbesartan.Before and after treatment,we observed the traditional Chinese medical syndrome scores,body mass index(BMI),blood levels of cystatin C (Cys C),β2-microglobumin(β2-MG),homocysteine (Hcy) and fasting blood glucose (FBG),and urine parameters of urinary monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 / urinary creatinine (UMCP-1/UCR),urinary factor of regulated on activation in normal T cell expressed and secreted / urinary creatinine (URANTES/UCR),urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) and urinary albumin excretion ratio (UAER) before treatment and after treatment for 16 weeks.After treatment,the clinical efficacy and safety were also evaluated.Results (1) During the treatment,5 cases were dropped out,and a total of 63 cases (32 from the treatment group and 31 from the control group) completed the experiment.(2) The total effective rate of the treatment group(90.6％) was significantly higher than that of the control group(67.7％),the difference being significant(P ＜ 0.05).(3)BMI of the two groups after treatment was significantly lower than that before treatment (P ＜ 0.05).(4) After treatment,the traditional Chinese medical syndrome scores,blood parameters (Cys C,β2-MG,Hcy,FBG) and urine parameters (UMCP-1/UCR,URANTES/UCR,UACR,UAER) in the treatment group were decreased as compared with those before treatment and those in the control group after treatment(P ＜0.05).(5) A positive correlation was present among the parameters of UMCP-1/UCR,URANTES/UCR,UACR and UAER.(6) No abnormal changes took place in the blood and stool routine examination,hepatic function,or electrocardiography of the 63 cases.Conclusion SD combined with western medicine exerts certain therapeutic effect for obese patients with early diabetic nephropathy,and is effective on relieving clinical symptoms anddecreasing BMI,Cys C,β2-MG,UACR,UAER,UMCP-1 and URANTES.Its mechanism is probably related with the inhibition of chronic renal inflammation.

Objective To prepare the quantum dots(QDs) (CdTe-MPA)-loaded polymer(lactic-coglycolic acid,PLGA) microbubbles(MBQDs@PLGA) as dual-modality imaging agent for both fluorescent and ultrasonic imaging ability.Methods The MBQDs@PLGA were generated by the double emulsion technique,then filling in C3F8 after freeze-drying.Confocal laser scanning microscope(CLSM) and transmission electron microscope(TEM) were used to confirm the load of quantum dots in the MBs.Fluorospectro photometer spectra of the MBQDs@PLGA were analyzed to demonstrate the fluorescent imaging ability and determine the encapsulation efficiency by using the regression equation.Imaging experiments was applied to validate the fluorescent and ultrasonic imaging ability of the MBQDs@PLGA both by imaging of the model in vitro and by imaging of ovarian tumor blood vessels of tumor-bearing nude mouse in vivo.Results At excitation 272 nm the MBQDs@PLGA peak of the emission spectrum was 549 nm,and the encapsulation efficiency was 54％.The average diameter of MBQDs@PLGA was (1.7 ±0.2)μm,CLSM and TEM results confirmed the QDs-loaded in MBQDs-PLGA.The imaging results of MBQDs@PLGA showed a dual-modality imaging ability both fluorescent and ultrasonic imaging.Conclusions MBQDs@PLGA present fluorescence-ultrasound dual mode imaging performance by the QDs embedding in polymer microbubbles,and explore a new development train of thought of multi-mode imaging agent.

The paper is to systematically evaluate the effect and safety of Shenqi Fuzheng injection (SFI) combined with first-line chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on Shenqi Fuzheng injection (SFI) combined with first-line chemotherapy (experiment group) and chemotherapy alone group ( control group) were electronically retrieved from Medline, EMbase, Clinical Trials, Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang Data base. All trials were assessed for quality according to the Cochrane Reviewer's Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Intervention and then Meta-analysis was performed withRevMan5. 2 Software. A total of 43 RCTs (3433 patients) were included after screening and selecting. Results of Meta-analysis showed that: Objective remission rate (ORR): ORR of experimental group was about 20% higher than that of control group [RR = 1.23, 95% CI (1.11,1.35), P < 0.0001]. Disease control rate (DCR):DCR of SFI combined with first-line chemotherapy was 11% higher than that of first-line chemotherapy alone [RR = 1.11, 95% CI (1.07, 1.16), P < 0.000 01]. Life quality evaluated by Kosovan performance status (KPS) showed that: life quality improvement rate of experimental group was about twice of that in control group [RR = 2.02, 95% CI (1.81, 2.26), P < 0.000 01]. Toxic and side reaction analysis showed that: the incidence of side reactions in experimental group was about 50% lower than that in control group [RR = 0.59, 95% CI (0.53, 0.66), P < 0.000 01]. Immune function test showed that: the function of experimental group was 3.2 (standard deviations) times greater than that of control group [MD = 3.23, 95% CI (2.86, 3.60), P < 0.000 01]. We can see that SFI combined with first-line chemotherapy for NSCLC can increase objective efficacy, improve life quality, decrease toxic and side reactionsinduced by chemotherapy, and improve the immune functions. As most of the included studies in this systematic evaluation had poor quality, the evidence to support conclusion was weak, so it was necessary to conduct more multi-center clinical trials with high quality methods and rigorous design.
