ProTide technology is a kind of prodrug design strategy invented by the team of Christopher McGuigan. ProTides are aryloxyphosphoramidates (or aryloxyphosphonamidates) which contain a phosphorus atom combined with an amino acid ester and an aryloxy group. These prodrugs can efficiently cross the cell membrane and escape from the first rate-limiting step of phosphorylation, which afford effective solutions to the drawbacks of current nucleoside analogues. At present, ProTide technology has been extensively applied in the field of antiviral research. It has been successful in providing a number of approved drugs and clinical candidates, such as sofosbuvir and so much more, highlighting the promising future in drug discovery. This review summarizes the brief history and characteristics of ProTide technology, as well as its application in the exploration of antiviral drugs.

Abstract: Objective To investigate the pollution of paralytic shellfish poisons (PSP) in shellfish sold in Hainan Province from 2018 to 2021. Methods From 2018 to 2021, the content of 10 paralytic shellfish poisons including saxitoxin (STX), neosaxitoxin (neoSTX), gonyautoxins 1 (GTX1), gonyautoxins 2 (GTX2), gonyautoxins 3 (GTX3), gonyautoxins 4 (GTX4), gonyautoxins 5 (GTX5), decarbamoylsaxitoxin (dcSTX), decarbamoylgonyau toxins 2 (dcGTX2) and decarbamoylgonyau toxins 3 (dcGTX3) in 7 kinds of shellfish commonly sold in 13 cities and counties in Hainan province was analyzed. Results The detection rate of PSP in 360 shellfish samples was 10.3%. Among them, the highest detection rate of STX was 5.83%, followed by GTX2 detection rate of 4.17%; the detection rate of neoSTX and GTX3 were both 1.67%; the detection rate of GTX1 was 1.39%. None of the five PSP, GTX4, GTX5, dcSTX, dcGTX2 and dcGTX3, were detected. Four types of PSP were detected in fanscallops, two were detected in oysters, mussels and Scapharca subcrenata, only one was detected in scallops, and no toxin contamination was detected in clams and razor clams. A single sample of fanscallops detected a maximum of 4 PSP, and a single sample of oysters, scallops, mussels and Scapharca subcrenata detected a maximum of 1 PSP. The equivalence of PSP in all samples was ND-155.6 μg/kg.The annual detection rate of PSP from high to low was: 20.0% in 2020, 15.6% in 2019, 5.3% in 2018, and 2.0% in 2021, and none of the samples tested exceeded the standard. Continuously detectable STX in 2018-2020, all PSP that could be detected in 2018 were STX. In 2019, in addition to STX detected in scallops and Scapharca subcrenata, neoSTX was also detected in oysters, mussels and Scapharca subcrenata. In 2020, PSP was only detected from scallops, and GTX2 could be detected in all positive specimens, while 5 STX, 5 GTX1 and 6 GTX3 were detected. Only GTX2 detected from scallops in 2021. STX was detected in shellfish sold in 12 cities and counties, GTX2 can be detected in 10 cities and counties, neoSTX can be detected in 5 cities and counties, GTX1 and GTX2 were detected in 4 cities and counties respectively. Shellfish sold in Wenchang and Lingshui markets can detect 5 types of PSP. Conclusion Some types of shellfish on the market in Hainan are contaminated with some kind of PSP pollution risks, and it is necessary to strengthen the supervision of PSP in marketed shellfish.

In this assay, the reaction kinetics, optimum temperature, pH and various influential factors of ATP microbial rapid detection reagent by bioluminescence were studied. The results showed that it's enough for detection system to have 40 ~ 50?g/mL D-Luciferin. The light production decreased fastest in the first minute of reaction, then began to decay slowly. The optimal reaction temperature was 24℃~25℃and the optimal pH was pH 7.2 -7.4 in the reaction system. In addition, when stored at 4℃for 45h, the dissolved reagent solution could keep its 86% activity. When preserved at 25℃, the enzyme activity decreased less for 1h, and degraded gradually as time went by and only left 53. 5% of its activity after 6. 5h. While stored at 33℃, the enzyme activity decreased quickly with the time and only left 59. 1% after 1. 5h. The result indicated that storage temperature was a very important influential factor to the activity of reagent Meanwhile, different chemical substance such as acid, alkali, salt and surfactants inhibited the ATP bioluminescent reaction. When the concentration of NaCl reached 1. 5g/L, it could inhibit 52. 5% light production. Triton X-100, acid, and alkali also had some effects on the reaction, while CTAB, SDS and TCA would inhibit the bioluminescent reaction seriously.

Pharmaceutical preparations, particularly as a "secret recipe" of traditional Chinese medicine in medical institutions, are the product of China's medical and health industry, and they are also an important means of competing of different medical institutions. Although pharmaceutical preparations have advantages and characteristics than institutes for drug and pharmaceutical companies, the quality standards of pharmaceutical preparations in medical institutions has not reached the desired level over the years. As we all know, the quality of pharmaceutical preparations is important to ensure the efficacy, especially under the environment of people pay more sttention on drug safety and effectiveness and contry increase emphasis on the stste of pharmaceutical preparations. In view of this, we will improve the grade, stability, and clinical efficacy of pharmaceutical preparations by the advanced equipment, testing instruments and the process dynamic quality control technology. Finally, we hope we can provide new ideas for the quality control of pharmaceutical preparations.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effects of Modified Wenjing Decoction (MWJD) on the ovarian oxidative damage of cold coagulation blood stasis (CCBS) model rats, thus consummating the action mechanisms of MWJD for treating gynecopathy of CCBS syndrome.
METHODSFemale SD rats were randomly divided into the normal group, the model group, and the treatment group. Rats in the model group and the treatment group were placed in the ice water (0 -1 degrees C) to establish the rat model of CCBS syndrome. Meanwhile, MWJD was given by gastrogavage to rats in the treatment group for 2 weeks. Rats were decapitated during the oestrous cycle. The serum levels of estradiol (E2), progestone (P), testosterone (T) were detected. The bilateral ovarian tissues were taken out and operated on ice. The total bilirubin (TBIL), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxygen capacity (T-AOC) were detected after homogenate.
RESULTSCompared with the normal group, serum levels of E2, P, T, and ovarian levels of TBIL, SOD, T-AOC all obviously decreased in the model group, and the ovarian MDA level increased, showing statistical difference (P <0. 05, P <0.01). After treated by MWJD, when compared with the model group, serum levels of E2, P, T, and ovarian levels of TBIL, SOD, T-AOC increased, the ovarian MDA level decreased, showing statistical difference (P <0.05, P <0.01). All indices except serum T level and the ovarian MDA content restored to the normal levels (all P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONSThe ovarian functions are abnormal in CCBS model rats. MWJD could restore the ovarian functions by improving the ovarian oxidative damage state, thus treating gynecopathy of CCBS syndrome.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the pathogenesis of globozoospermia, fertilization ability of round-headed sperm, and the application value of assisted oocyte activation in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) for the wives of glohozoospermia men.
METHODSWe collected oocytes from the wives of 2 globozoospermia patients and randomly divided them into two groups after ICSI to receive calcium ionophore A23187-activation and conventional treatment, respectively. We reviewed the relevant literature published at home and abroad, and discussed the etiology of globozoospermia, fertilization ability of round-headed sperm, and treatment options for this disease.
RESULTSQuality embryos were obtained in the A23187-activation group while no fertilized oocytes, oocyte cleavage, quality embryos, or blastular formation were found in the conventional treatment group. Both women achieved pregnancy and gave birth to healthy neonates after transfer of the quality embryos from the A23187-activation group.
CONCLUSIONCalcium ionophore A23187 can be applied to ICSI for the wives of globozoospermia men and bring about desirable clinical outcomes. Meanwhile, attention should be paid to its safety.

To explore gambogenic acid (GNA)-induced apoptosis and underlying mechanism in vivo. A549 nude mice xenografts were used as in vivo model to study anticancer effect of GNA by observing tumor growth curve and weight of the tumor. Ultrastructure of A549 cells treated by GNA was observed by TE. Expression of COX-2 and VEGF were detected by immunohistochemistry. TUNEL assay was applied in examining apoptosis index of tumor cells. The tumor isolated from mice treated by GNA (8, 16 mg kg(-1)) took on a slow growth condition compared with control group. The results suggested that weight and volume of the tumor from experimental groups were remarkably decreased compared with control group (P < 0.05). Ultrastructure change of the tumor, such as vacuolization, abnormal distribution of the heterochromosome, volume of the tumor cells, even apoptotic bodies, were observed in GNA-treated group. While no apparent morphological change was observed in the normal group. Typical apoptotic characteristics could be distinctly observed in the mouse treated by GNA for 20 days and apoptosis index in GNA-treated group was significantly higher than model group. Expression of COX-2 and VEGF were significantly down-regulated in GNA-treated groups in comparison with control group (P < 0.01). These results indicate that GNA could affect the development and progression of A549 cells through inducing apoptosis, mediating the expression of VEGF in vascular cells and COX-2 in tumor cells.
