Objective To study the chemical constituents from the roots of Dryopteris championii.Methods The compounds were isolated by column chromatography with Sephadex LH-20 and silica gel and preparative thin layer chromatography.The structures of the compounds were identified by physico-chemical properties and spectral evidence.Results Ten compounds were identified as aspidin-BB (Ⅰ), aspidin-AB (Ⅱ), aemulin-BB (Ⅲ), methylene-bis-desaspidinol (Ⅳ), pseudo-aspidinol B (Ⅴ), methyl-phlor-butyrophenon (Ⅵ), desaspidinol (Ⅶ), hop-22(29)-ene (Ⅷ), ?-sitosterol (Ⅸ), and (E)-3-nonacosene-2-ketone (Ⅹ).Conclusion Compound Ⅰ-Ⅳ, Ⅵ and Ⅶ are isolated from this plant for the first time.Antitumor effects of aspidin-BB are investigated.

Objective A prospective study was performed to determine the effects of angiostatic agents on endometriosis. Methods Eutopic endometrium from endometriosis was transplanted to a non-vascular region of a chick embryo chorioallantocic membrane (CAM), and angiostatic compounds including recombinant human endostatin, thalidomide, monoclonal antibody of integrin ?v?3 and VEGF were given, their effects on the angiogenesis and on endometriosis-like lesion formation in CAM model were examined. Results Transplantation of endometrium onto the CAM led to a strong angiogenic response in the chick embryonic tissue; a number of newly formed vessels were significantly decreased in the groups using angiostatic agents compared with the control group. Endometriosis-like lesion formation was significantly impaired after treatment with angiostatic agents, and it was associated with decreased vessel density in the surrounding chorioallantoic membrane, accomponied by various degree of necrosis in the endometriosis-like lesions under microscopic observation. Conclusion Endometrium induced angiogenic response in the ectopic environment is critical for implantation and subsequent survival of the tissue. Angiostatic agents can inhibit the angiogenesis induced by eutopic endometrium and has a remarkable anti-endometriosis effect.

Objective Sodium-bile acid cotransporter plays an important role in the development of Echinococcus.The present study aimed to clone sodium bile acid cotransporter gene in Echinococcus multilocularis (EmSBACT5) and to analyze the bioinformatics of its coding protein.Methods EmSBACT5 gene was amplified by reverse transcription RCR (RT-PCR) technology and its nucleotide sequence was sequenced.Bioinformatics softwares were used to predict and analyze the physical and chemical properties, hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, transmembrane domain, post-translational modification sites, structural domain, secondary structure, tertiary structure, subcellular localization and biological functions of the coding protein.Results The complete open reading frame was amplified with 654 bp in length, encoding 217 amino acids.The homology of the nucleic acid sequence and amino acid sequence of EmSBACT5 gene were 98% and 96% with the published SBACT5 in Echinococcus granulosus (EgSBACT5) respectively.Protein analysis results showed that the molecular formula of EmSBACT5 protein was C1141H1797N273O284S11.Its relative molecular mass was 24240 and isoelectric point was 8.99.There were 9 post-translational modification sites and 4 typical domains.Alpha helical, β-sheet, β-turn and random coil accounted for 29.95%, 31.80%, 7.83% and 30.41%, respectively.This protein was a hydrophobic membrane protein and was mainly located in the cytoplasmic membrane, and it might play a role in the processes of material transport and signal transmission.Conclusion The EmSBACT5 gene was cloned successfully and the informatics characteristics of its coding protein were obtained, which provides basic information for prevention and control of echinococcosis.

Objective To investigate the relationship of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene polymorphism and the suscepti-bility of childhood obesity Methods The database of PubMed, OVID, Science online, BMJ, Springer Link, Medlink, China Journal Full-text and Wanfang were systematically searched. The studies regarding ApoE polymorphism associated with child-hood obesity from March 1996 to March 2013 were included in the research. The data were extracted, evaluated and hetero-geneity tested using software Rev Man 5.0. Results A total of 84 related literature were retrieved, and 9 of them were eligible with 767 obese children and 867 normal children included. According to the heterogeneity test results, the relationship between ApoE gene allele,ε2,ε3,ε4 and childhood obesity occurs was analyzed by means of ifxed or random effect model. The results indicated that, comparing to children with normal body mass, the OR value and 95%CI of ApoE allele geneε2,ε3,ε4 in obese children were 1.10 (0.85, 1.43), 0.66 (0.55, 0.80), and 1.82 (1.31, 2.52) respectively. The differences ofε3 andε4 between normal and obese children were signiifcant (P<0.001) but notε2 (P=0.45). The sensitivity analysis in each study was stable and the funnel graphics were basically symmetric. Conclusions ApoE gene polymorphism is closely related to childhood obesity withε3 allele as a protective factor whileε4 allele as a risk factor.

Objective To investigate the relationship between β3 - adrenergic receptor(β3 - AR)gene poly-morphism and the susceptibility of occurrence in children obesity. Methods The database of PubMed,Web of Science,Springer Link,Medlink,SinoMed,Wanfang,VIP and CNKI were systematically browsed online. The study re-ports regarding β3 - AR associated with children obesity from January 1995 to February 2014 were included in the re-search. The data were extracted,evaluated and heterogeneity tested by using software RevMan 5. 1. Results A total of 162 related literature were retrieved,and 9 of them were eligible with 1 494 obese children and 1 623 normal children were included. Allele T compared with C,the differences between the study group and the control group were statistical-ly significant(P < 0. 05),the findings from the same TC + CC compared to TT and TC compared with TT + CC were similar. Japanese research findings were similar to those of China,but the differences between the study group and the control group had no statistical significance(P ﹥ 0. 05)in Hungary. The sensitivity analysis in each study was stable and the funnel graphics were basically symmetric. The results of sensitivity analysis and publication bias diagnostics demonstrated the reliability and stability of the Meta analysis. Conclusions TC + CC/ TT,TC/ TT + CC genotype and allele T/ C are related to the occurrence of childhood obesity in China,Japan,but there is no significant correlation with childhood obesity in Hungary. There are regional difference between β3 - AR gene polymorphism and genetic susceptibility to children obesity.

Objective To compare the effects of breast-conserving and modified radical mastectomy of early-stage breast cancer. Meth-ods 80 patients with early breast cancer were divided into two groups according to the different operation methods. The treatment group were given breast-conserving surgery while the control group were given modified radical mastectomy, and the clinical efficacy of two groups were observed. Results The operation time, intraoperatve blood soss, average drainage and the length of hospital stay of the breast-conserving group were significantly lower than those of the control group, and the excellent rate of breast shape in the breast-conserving group was signif-icantly higher with a statistically significant difference (P<0. 05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the local re-currence rate, distant metastasis rate, 3-year survival rate or 5-year survival rate (P>0. 05). Conclusion The effect of breast-conserving surgery in treatment of early breast cancer is satisfactory, so it is recommending for wide application.
