Quality variation and ecotype classification of Chinese herbal medicine are important scientific problems in Daodi herbal medicine research. The diversity of natural environmental conditions has led to form unique multi-Daodi, multi-product areas that produce particular Chinese herbal medicine. China is one of three big American ginseng (Panax quinquefolium L.) producing areas worldwide, with over 300 years of application and 40 years of cultivation history. Long-term production practice has led to the formation of three big advocate produce areas in China: Northeast province, Beijing and Shandong. P. quinquefolium L. grown under certain environmental conditions will develop long-term adaptations that will lead to more stable strains (different ecotypes). P. quinquefolium L., can vary greatly in quality; however, the ecological mechanisms causing this variation are still unclear. Root samples were collected from four-year-old cultivated P. quinquefolium L. plants in the three major genuine (Daodi) American ginseng-producing areas of Northeast province, Beijing and Shandong province, China. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography was used to analyze the contents of eight ginsenosides (Rg1, Re, Rb1, Rb2, Rb3, Rc, Rd, Rg2). Data for nine ecological factors, including temperature, moisture and sunlight, were obtained from the ecological database of Geographic Information System for Traditional Chinese Medicine. Soil samples from the sampling sites were collected. Effective boron and iron, available nitrogen and potassium, as well as other trace elements and soil nutrients, were determined by conventional soil physicochemical property assay methods. Analytical methods of biostatistics and numerical taxonomy were used to divide ecotypes of the three main Panax quinquefolium L. producing areas in China based on ginsenoside content, climate, soil and other ecological factors. To our knowledge, this is the first time that ecological division of P. quinquefolium L. producing areas in China has ever been conducted. The results show that there are two chemoecotypes of P. quinquefolium L. in China: ginsenoside Rb1-Re from outside Shanhaiguan, and ginsenoside Rg2-Rd from inside Shanhaiguan. Similarly, there are two types of climatic characteristics: inside Shanhaiguan (Beijing, Shandong) and outside Shanhaiguan (Northeast). This suggests that the formation and differentiation of chemoecotypes of P. quinquefolium L. is closely related to variability of the climatic and geographical environment. Additionally, ecological variation of the three main producing areas, characteristics of two climatic ecotypes, and soil characteristics are also discussed and summarized. These results provide experimental scientific evidence of the quality variation and ecological adaptation of P. quinquefolium L. from different producing areas. They also deepen our understanding of the biological nature of Daodi P. quinquefolium L. formation, and offer novel research models for other multi-origin, multi-Daodi Chinese herbal medicines ecotypes. In addition, the results demonstrate the critical need for improving quality, appropriate ecological regionalization and promoting industrialized development of P. quinquefolium L.

Objeetive To discuss the correlation of creatinine reduction ratio(CRR2)from posttransplant day 1 to day 2 and early graft function recovery status after kidney transplantation. Methods Clinical data of 80 patients after renal transplantation from Jan 2005 to Mar 2007 were retrospectively analyzed.Patients were divided into three groups according to the post-operative serum creatinine level:53 patients within IGF group[cereatinine<265.2 μmol/L by post-operative day(POD)no.5],14 patients within SGF group(creatinine>265.2 μmol/L on POD no.5,but no need for dialysis),and 13 patients within DGF group(need for dialysis in the first week post-transplant).Then the value and 99%CI of CRRz of these three groups were calculated. Results The value of CRR2 of IGF,SGF and DGF was(46.8±14.6)%,(25.6±13.5)%and(0.7±17.7)%respectively.And CRR2 99%CI of IGF,SGF and DGF was 41%-52%,15%-36%and-14%-16 0A respectively.There was significant difference in the value of CRR2 among IGF,SGF and DGF group.So a criteria for early diagnosis of IGF,SGF and DGF by CRR2 99%C1 was established:IGF(CRR2≥40%),SGF (15%<CRR2<40%)and DGF(CRR2≤15%). Conclusion CRR2 has a good correlation with early graft function recovery after kidney transplantation,and can be used to predict the occurrence of SGF and DGF.

OBJECTIVETo understand the high risk behaviors of female sex workers (FSWs) in Yunnan province in 2013.
METHODSA cross-sectional investigation was conducted during April to June, 2013 in Yunnan province, census was used to the investigation where the number of FSWs was close to 200, while probability sampling was used where the number of FSWs was obviously over 200. A total of 25 574 cases were investigated, and data on demography and risk behaviors were obtained by questionnaires one by one.
RESULTSA total of 25 574 cases were investigated, AIDS awareness among FSWs in high-level places, middle-level places and low-level place were 98.8% (92/7 401), 98.6% (150/10 995), and 96.0% (281/6 655). FSWs from low-level place had a lower rate than those from the other two types of places (P < 0.01). The rate of condom use each time when having sex with clients within the recent one month among FESs from high-level places, middle-level places and low-level place were 93.4% (6 307/6 755), 93.8% (10 109/10 782) and 90.4% (6 053/6 697), and the FSWs working in low-level place had a lower rate than those from the other two types of places(P < 0.01). Multi-factor logistic regression analysis showed that the following had a lower rate of condom use: the FSWs working in low-level place (OR = 1.56, 95% CI:1.36-1.79; OR = 1.36, 1.16-1.59), over 30 years old (OR = 0.77, 95%CI:0.69-0.85), Yunnan citizen (OR = 0.88, 95% CI:0.77-1.00), minority (OR = 1.32, 95% CI:1.16-1.50), under senior high school (OR = 0.61, 95%CI:0.49-0.75), married (OR = 0.81, 95% CI:0.71-0.92), living together (OR = 0.70, 95% CI:0.51-0.96), divorced or lost spouses (OR = 0.81, 95% CI:0.65-1.02), worked less than 6 months in local areas (OR = 1.74, 95% CI:1.34-2.27), drug users (OR = 1.65, 95% CI:1.11-2.46), had not accepted HIV interventions (OR = 2.91, 95% CI:2.36-3.58), had no knowledge about AIDS (OR = 4.50, 95% CI:3.48-5.82). The main reasons for not using condoms were the clients' unwilling to use, which accounted for 47.62% (270/567). The total rate of drug use was 1.0% (264/25 567) and the FSWs working in middle-level places had the highest rate of injecting drugs, which accounted for 0.6% (70/11 141). The FSWs working in low-level places had a higher rate than those who worked in high-level places and middle-level places in venereal diseases, which accounted for 1.2% (85/6 934) (P < 0.01). The rate of receiving effective interventions was 96.7% (24 717/25 574), the rate of accepting treatment and clean needles among drug users was 21.6% (57/264).
CONCLUSIONHigh risk behaviors were serious among the FSWs who worked in low-level places, especially among the olders, the minorities, people who had lower educational level, the new-comer and drug users, which indicated that more attention needs to be paid among these populations.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of modified Guizhi Fulingwan in preventing colorectal adenoma (CRA) in mice by regulating mitochondrial apoptosis pathway through the regulation of the phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) pathway. MethodSixty SPF-grade male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into six groups: Normal group, model group, low, medium, and high dose groups of modified Guizhi Fulingwan (13, 26, 52 g·kg-1·d-1), and positive control aspirin group (0.015 g·kg-1·d-1). A mouse model of CRA was chemically induced using azoxymethane (AOM) and dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). During the modeling process, mice received modified Guizhi Fulingwan or aspirin. Body weight of mice was measured weekly during the treatment. After 9 weeks, the number of adenomas formed was observed. Serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the histopathologic changes in adenoma tissues. The expression of Cyclin D1 and proliferative nuclear antigen (Ki67) was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) was used to assess the apoptosis in adenoma tissues. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot were used to observe the mRNA and protein expression levels of PTEN, PI3K, Akt, phosphorylated PI3K (p-PI3K), phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax), cytochrome C (Cyt C), Caspase-9, and caspase-3. ResultCompared with the normal group, the model group showed no significant change in body weight from week 1 to week 2, but a significant decrease from week 3 to week 9 (P<0.05,P<0.01). The colorectal length was significantly shortened, and the colorectal weight increased with visible varying sized tumor-like protrusions on the mucosal surface (P<0.01). Serum levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β were elevated (P<0.01). Histopathology showed disordered epithelial gland structure, elongated nuclei with pathological mitosis, and numerous lymphocytic infiltrations in the lamina propria. The positive expression rates of Cyclin D1 and Ki67 were significantly increased (P<0.01), while the apoptosis rate of adenoma cells was significantly decreased (P<0.01). Expression levels of PI3K, Akt, Bcl-2 mRNA and proteins, as well as p-PI3K and p-Akt proteins, were significantly increased (P<0.01), whereas PTEN, Bax, Cyt C, Caspase-9, and Caspase-3 mRNA and protein levels were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, all drug treatment groups showed an increase in body weight (P<0.01), decreased intestinal weight, increased colorectal length, reduced number of adenomas significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01), and significantly lowered serum levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β (P<0.01). Histopathology indicated improved glandular structure and reduced neutrophil infiltration in the mucosal lamina propria. The positive expression rates of Cyclin D1 and Ki67 significantly decreased (P<0.01), while the apoptosis rate of adenoma cells significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Expression levels of PI3K, Akt, Bcl-2 mRNA and proteins, and p-PI3K and p-Akt proteins were significantly reduced (P<0.05, P<0.01), while PTEN, Bax, Cyt C, Caspase-9, and Caspase-3 mRNA and protein levels significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). The high-dose modified Guizhi Fulingwan group exhibited the most significant intervention effects. ConclusionModified Guizhi Fulingwan may prevent CRA in mice by regulating the PTEN/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and inducing the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway.
