This article was aimed to study the absorption of sinomenine in Caulis Sinome nii by different types of macroporous resin. The transfer rate of sinomenine was used as detection index. The screening was made on the technological process of absorption and purification of sinomenine by macroporous resin. The results showed that the macroporous resin AL-3 was selected with the best absorptive capacity under pH2, while the macroporous resin X-5 was selected with the best absorptive capacity under pH6. It was concluded that the selection of macroporous resin should comprehensively consider the properties of target compounds, and indexes such as aperture, specific surface area, and polarity of macroporous resin.

Since the emergence of CRISPR/Cas9, gene editing technologies have attracted increasing attention, in particular type II systems, in which nucleases consist of only a single protein. The effectors include type II Cas9, type V Cas12 and type VI Cas13, which allow precise genomic DNA or RNA editing. Catalytically inactive CRISPR/Cas9 can also be used as a platform to recruit effectors such as transcription factors, epigenetic factors, and/or base modification enzymes to target gene loci. On the other hand, optogenetics offers spatial, temporal, and reversible control of biological processes. CRISPR and optogenetics can enable precise gene editing in vitro and in vivo at the spatiotemporal level, which has a broad applicability in biology and medicine. This article has provided a review for the research advance in photoactivatable CRISPR systems, with details for the design and application of such tools and a discussion over the limitations of the current methods, which may shed light on this emerging field.

Bone metastasis-caused pain (BMP) is a common complication of cancer, and the incidence has been on the rise with the increase in the overall prevalence of cancer, threatening the survival and quality of life of patients. BMP is a kind of special pain with the characteristics of inflammatory pain and neuropathic pain, but is different from the two. Therefore, its pathogenesis is very complicated, and it is of great significance to understand the pathogenesis. The currently available studies mainly focused on osteoclast activation, changes in the bone microenvironment, glial cell activation, spinal cord neuron activation, and miRNA dysregulation. Modern therapies include the three-step analgesics, bisphosphonates, palliative radiotherapy, and interventional therapy for bone metastases, which show definite efficacy in short term. However, the long-term effect is unsatisfactory due to the adverse reactions, addiction, and drug resistance. Studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has definite curative effect on BMP, which is safe, enhances efficacy, reduces toxicity, and boosts immunity. Moreover, it exerts the effect through multiple components, multiple targets, and multiple pathways. As a result, it has unique advantages in the prevention and treatment of BMP and has become a research focus. This paper summarizes the research on the pathogenesis of BMP, the intervention of TCM (compound Chinese medicine prescriptions, Chinese medicinals, and monomers from Chinese medicinals), and the mechanisms of TCM, such as inhibiting osteoclast activation, glial cell activation, and spinal cord neuron activation, regulating pain mediators and abnormal expression of microRNA, and anti-tumor, which is expected to further clarify the pathogenesis of BMP and provide ideas and methods for the effective prevention and treatment of BMP with TCM.

By reviewing the historical materia medica, medical books and modern literature, this paper has systematically sorted out and verified the name, origin, quality and other aspects of Ophicalcitum. After herbal textual research, it is shown that before the Qing dynasty, the mineral medicine was mostly recorded in the name of Huarushi, but now it is called Huaruishi, and there is another mixed name Baiyunshi. The light white spots described in the historical materia medica are consistent with the characteristics of marble with sparkling star-like luster, combined with the color like sulfur, color are green, black spots and other serpentine features, it is deduced that it is serpentine marble, consistent with the present-day Ophicalcitum, and Ophicalcitum in the Song dynasty has a high content of serpentine. The main producing areas are Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi and Sichuan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hebei and other places are also available. Successive generations of materia medica on the quality evaluation of Ophicalcitum is less, the modern to neat and firm in the texture, sandwiched with yellow-green mottled for the best. Ophicalcitum is acidic, astringent and neutral in nature, belonging to the liver meridian, with the efficacy of treatment of gold sores and blood flow, internal leakage of cataracts, dropping afterbirth, now describing its efficacy as removing blood stasis and stopping bleeding. In ancient times, the earliest processing method was burning, followed by calcination by sulphur, calcination, quenching with vinegar and other methods. In modern times, it has been simplified to open calcination, processing with vinegar and the addition of water quenching. The gravimetric method and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid titration were used to detect the contents of CO32- and CaCO3 in Ophicalcitum, respectively, and it was found that the gap in CaCO3 content among commercially available products was wide, and the content of CaCO3 in sample S13 and sample S18 was the same, but their compositions were different, and according to the contents of CO32- and CaCO3, the dolomite and calcite contents could be calculated, of which the higher the calcite content the more obvious the sparkling star-like luster. Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction(XRD) were used to detect the physical phase composition of the powder of the samples, and Raman spectroscopy was used for the rapid non-destructive testing of the striped part, which showed that Ophicalcitum was mainly composed of dolomite, calcite, serpentine, olivine and pyroxene, with serpentine dominanting the striped part. In summary, the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia stipulates that the content of CaCO3 in Ophicalcitum is not less than 40%, which is difficult to control its quality, and it is suggested to increase the detection of CO32- content. This study can provide a scientific basis for the traceability of Ophicalcitum and better guide the clinical medication and rational utilization of resources.
