This study was aimed to establish an identification method between leaflets of Dimocarpus longan and leaflets of Litchi chinensis. The leaflet morphological-venation pattern (LMVP) and quantitative analysis were reliable identification method for Chinese herbs. The results showed that the main differences of leaflets of Dimocarpus lon-gan were the eucamptodromous camptodromous pinnate venation; the secondary veins gradually changed into little near margin and a few brochidodromous; the type of tertiary vein was percurrent or reticulate. The main differences of leaflets of Litchi chinensis were brochidodromous camptodromous pinnate venation; the course of the secondary veins was sinuous or zigzag, and abruptly curved then linked; the type of tertiary vein was reticulate. With three groups of key differences mentioned above, both plants can be successfully identified from each other. The accuracy of identification results (AC) was from 98.1% to 100%. The agreement rate for observation (ARO) was from 98.5% to 100%. And the Kappa value was from 0.97 to 1.00. It was concluded that the established LMVP is simple, rapid, e-conomic and reliable in the identification between leaflets of Dimoc arp us longan and leaflets of its confused herb Litchi chinensis.

BACKGROUND: The expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is enhanced in fibroblasts of aging skin; tripterine and ginsenoside Rd possess immunosuppression and anti-aging effects. Arotinoid ethyl ester can used to treat sun-induced aging skin, which accompanied by many side effects, OBJECTIVE: To discuss the regulation role of ginsenoside Rd, celastrol, arotinoid ethyl ester on MMP-1 and MMP-3 of the cultured fibroblasts of the human dermis in vitro. METHODS: The human dermis circumcision by surgical excision on newborn was obtained from Department of Surgery, Luzhou Medical College, and the informed consent obtained from patients. Culture of fibroblasts were as follow: ①No treatment in the normal control group. ②Radiated with 80 kJ/m~2 ultraviolet and treated by 100mg/L8-methoxypsoralen in the positive control group. ③Treated by ultraviolet radiation+8-methoxypsoralen+arotinoid ethyl ester in the arotinoid ethyl ester group. ④Treated by ultraviolet radiation +8-methoxypsoralen+triptolide in the triptolide group. ⑤Treated byultraviolet radiation+8-methoxypsoralen+ginsenoside Rd in the ginsenoside Rdgroup. The triptolide group was divided into 3 groups with doses of 10, 20, and 40 mg/L. The ginsenoside Rd group was divided into 3 groups with doses of 20, 50 and 100 mg/L. The immunohistochemistry staining of MMP-1 and MMP-3 of the fibroblasts in each group was observed. RESULTS and CONCLUSION: The expressions of MMP-1 and MMP-3 were significantly increased in the positive control group, which had a significant difference to the normal control group (P < 0.05). Compared to the positive control group, the expression of MMP-1 and MMP-3 significantly decreased in the treatment groups (P < 0.05); however, the differences among each treatment groups had no significance (P > 0.05). The results demonstrated that:①Ginsenoside Rd and tripterine exhibit comparably effect on prevent and cure sun-induced aging skin.②The wide ranges of effective concentration lead to little side effect to the body. ③The action mechanisms of ginsenoside Rd, celastrol and arotinoid ethyl ester in preventing and curing sun-induced aging skin is adjusting the expressions of MMP-1 and MMP-3.

Objective To observe the ultrastructure location of Huntingtin-associated protein 1(HAP1) in rat adrenal medulla and the effect of cold stress on the expression of HAP1 in rat adrenal medulla. Methods Fourteen healthy male Wistar rats were used in the present study and among them two rats were used for immune electron microscopy and twelve rats for cold stress experiment. In the cold stress experiment, animals were divided into control and cold groups randomly with six rats in each group. During the experiment, rats were housed in a room at the temperature of 4℃ for 12 hours and then immunohistochemistry and Western blotting were used to measure the expression of HAP1 in adrenal medulla. Results By using the immune electron microscopy, the results showed HAP1 was located on the external membrane of secretory vesicles of adrenal medulla and their membranous organelles. The expression of HAP1 in adrenal medulla of cold group significantly decreased as compared with that of control group ( P <0.01). Conclusion HAP1 might be related with the adrenal medulla cells endocrine granula and involved in the transmission and release of adrenaline or noradrenaline in secretory granule.

New antibiotics with novel modes of action and structures are urgently needed to combat the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Bacterial signal peptidase I (SPase I) is an indispensable enzyme responsible for cleaving the signal peptide of preprotein to release the matured proteins. Increasing evidence suggests that SPase I plays a crucial role in bacterial pathogenesis by regulating the excretion of a variety of virulent factors, maturation of quorum sensing factor and the intrinsic resistance against beta-lactams. Recently, breakthrough has been achieved in the understanding of three-dimensional structure of SPase I as well as the mechanism of enzyme-inhibitors interaction. Three families of inhibitors are identified, i.e. signal peptide derivatives, beta-lactams and arylomycins. In this article, we summarize the recent advance in the study of structure, activity and structure-activity relationship of SPase I inhibitors.
