The user information needs, being one of the core elements in modem library, is the basis for survival and development of modern library. In the digital and network environment, the electronic resources are increasingly becoming the main part of information resources. The Library of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences is the central library of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in China, and therefore how to use limited funds to build an optimal, most rational and sustainable development guarantee system of TCM electronic resources is its new task in the information age. This paper discussed the objective and principles of building guarantee system of TCM electronic resources, and also put forward some measures and strategies about constructing it from eight aspects.

Objective To investigate the nutritional status of the pupils with cerebral palsy and the factors related with nutrition. Methods The height and weight of 139 cerebral palsy pupil (6~18 years old) were measured. The rate of stunting, wasting, overweight and obesity were calculated, and compared with the norm, and among the subjects with different cerebral palsy type, grade of Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), famiy background (urban or rural), age, etc. Results The rate of stunting and wasting was more than the norm, and the obesity was less. The rate of stunting negatively correlated with the grade of GMFCS. The rate of wasting negatively correlated with the age. Conclusion It is important to focus on the physical development delay and malnutrition of children with cerebral palsy.

OBJECTIVETo study responses of physiological ecology and quality evaluation of Rehmannia glutinosa in continuous cropping.

METHODThe potted plant R. glutinosa which consists of first cropping, 1 year continuous cropping and 2 year continuous cropping were used as experimental materials. The photosynthetic activity, descending axis vitality, the protective enzymes system and MDA content were measured, the quality was evaluated by FTIR and HPLC.

RESULTContinuous cropping reduced the content of chlorophyll in the non-first cropping R. glutinos, the photosynthetic activity and descending axis vitality were weakened. Because of the increase of the free radical in the R. glutinos due to the continuous cropping, the activity of protective enzymes including POD, SOD and CAT were enhanced and MDA content were increased, more importantly the medical potency declined . And along with the increasing years of the continuous cropping, this effect becomes even stronger.

CONCLUSIONContinuous cropping affects the descending axis ability of absorbing water and nutrition and photosynthesis are inhibited R. glutinosa, at the same time, it also causes the disorders of antioxidation systems in R. glutinos, resulting in continuous cropping obstacle and decline of the medicinal materials quality.

This experiment was designed to investigate the feasibility of transplanatation of using porous PHB as cell carrier for the transplanatation of adrenocortical cells. Adrenocortical cells from rat adrenal gland were separated and cultured in vitro. The effect of PHB on the proliferation and secretory function of adrenocortical cells were evaluated by MTT and RIA methods. Then adrenocortical cells were seeded into porous PHB. After the cells were cultured in vitro for about seven days, they were implanted into the rats having undergone bilateral adrenalectomy. The changes of blood corticosterone and aldosterone and the local histological changes in these rats were observed. Adrenocortical cells were able to grow and survive on PHB. No effect on the proliferation and secretory function of adrenocortical cells were observed. Most bilateral adrenalectomized rats bearing the transplanted adrenocortical cells within PHB (study group) survived longer than did the adrenalectomized rats in control group. The blood corticosterone level and aldosterone level of study group were higher than those of control group. It was found that PHB has no effects on the survival, proliferation and secretory function of adrenocortical cells. Adrenocortical cells within PHB can survive a period of time and can secrete corticosterone and aldosterone which can meet the needs of the adrenalectomized rats. PHB can degrade slowly in vivo. It is feasible to perform transplantation of adrenocortical cells using porous PHB as cell carrier.

OBJECTIVETo explore effects on allelopathic autotoxicity of Rehmannia glutinosa of different abatement measures.

METHODThe experiments for abating allelopathic effects of R. glutinosa were designed with the reducing rate as a indication, three measures of the treating soil with lime nitrogen, and water washing were employed, R. glutinosa- Achyranthes bidentata rotation system and using Achyranthes bidentata as green manure, and seedling transplant were also studied for the abatement effect.

RESULTEffect of seedling transplant was the best, reducing rate of transplant and bare root transplant on the 20th day after emergence was 76.80%, 71.70%, respectively. The reducing rate of the treating soil with microorganism reached 54.25%. The effects of water washing and R. glutinosa-A. bidentata rotation system and using A. bidentata as green manure were not satisfied. Especially only using A. bidentata as green manure without rotation system worsened the allelopathic effects of R. glutinosa.

CONCLUSIONAll measures can abate allelopathic effects of R. glutinosa to some extent except only using A. bidentata as green manure.

Effects of the leaf-clipped treatment on growth and physiological properties of Rehmannia glutinosa were studied. Result showed that with the increase of the cutting leaves degree, growth rates of shoots and roots were decreased, sugar contents declined, chlorophyll contents decreased and root activities also inhibited. Compared with the normal plant (CK), the root inhibit rates in T1, T2, T3 were 17.53%, 33.41%, 59.47%, respectively. Physiological indexes including chlorophyll contents, root activities and sugar contents also were impacted by the leaf-clipped treatment. The results indicate that to balance source-sink relationship is a very essential method for improving production of R. glutinosa.

OBJECTIVETo explore the molecular mechanism of continuous monoculture problem by constructing the cDNA libraries of continuous monoculture Rehmannia glutinosa.

METHODTo use the suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) technique to construct the forward and reverse subtractive cDNA libraries of continuous monoculture R. glutinosa to adopt blue-white colony screening and PCR to detect the positive clones which would be sequenced and analyzed by bioinformatics.

RESULTThe subtracted cDNA libraries of continuous monoculture R. glutinosa. were successfully constructed, and the result showed that the forward and reverse subtracted libraries obtained 300 positive clones, respectively. The forward and reverse libraries got different ESTs, and produced 232 (forward library) and 214 (reverse library) unique ESTs by sequencing. Based on homology search of BLASTX and BLASTN in NCBI, 200 and 195 of unique ESTs were homologous to known genes in the forward and reverse libraries, respectively. Categories of orthologous group (COG) showed that the forward and reverse libraries got 60 and 61 ESTs with the corresponding gene annotation, involving 21 metabolic pathways.

CONCLUSIONThe information of differential expression genes in continuous monoculture R. glutinosa, and their functional annotation of differentially expressed genes indicate that continuous monoculture has a profound effect on expression of the genes in R. glutinosa. Furthermore, the research analyzed several key genes in response to replant problem, which provided a foundation for revealing the molecular mechanism of continuous monoculture R. glutinosa.
