AIM: To investigate the pharmacodynamic effects of Huahong Capsule on the anti-bacteria,anti-inflammation,antipyretic and analgesic effects. METHODS: The death rate of mice infected by staphylococcus aureus or Escherichia coli was observed to investigate the antibacterial effects.Crotonoil-induced auricle edema,cotton ball-induced granuloma and trauma-induced toe congestion were performed to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects in mice.Endotoxin-induced fever was performed to observe the antipyretic effect in rabbit.Mouse twisting numbers induced by acetic acid,mouse pain threshold after heat stimulation and rat twisting numbers of dysmenorrhea were observed to investigate the analgesic effects. RESULTS: Huahong Capsule had a tendency to decrease the death rate of mice infected by bacteria.It could remarkably inhibit edema of auricle of ear,formation of granuloma and toe congestion in mice.It decreased obviously the temperature raised by endotoxin in rabbit.It could reduce mouse twisting numbers and prolong pain thresholds. CONCLUSION: Huahong Capsule has pharmacological effects in accordance with its clinical functions and uses.

The mature seeds and excised embryos of Dalbergia odorifera were used as materials to study the effect of moisture content on their survival, as well as the effect of rapid freezing and vitrification freezing method on seeds and in vitro embryos cryopreservation. The results showed that the germination rate and vigor decreased from 82.67%, 85% to 18.35%, 25% respectively, when the seed moisture content decreased from 15.04% to 8.14%; and the germination rate decreased from 82.67% to 37.50%, 25.37% respectively by vitrification freezing method and rapid freezing method, when the seed moisture content decreased from 15.04% to 9.37%. Among all the moisture content gradient, 12.35% moisture reached the maximal germination rate, which were 63.58% and 50.45% respectively by vitrification freezing and rapid freezing; and when the embryo moisture content was 26.32%, the germination rate decreased from 95.67% to 58.31% and 33.82% respectively by vitrification freezing and rapid freezing. And when the moisture content was in the range of 14.17% -21.34%, the germination rate was a bit of decrease. The experiment results showed that the optimum conditions of seed cryopreservation were: moisture content 12.35%, vitrification freezing; and the optimum conditions of in vitro embryo cryopreservation were: moisture 15.04%, vitrification freezing. In conclusion, the effects of moisture content on germination rate after cryopreservation in D. odorifera seeds and embryo were significant, and vitrification freezing method is much better than rapid freezing method.

The diversity of functional nucleic acids is being explored from nature and in vitro selections, including ribozyme catalysis, aptamer binding to target molecules with high specific and affinity, and RNA interference and modulation of gene expression. The great potential of chemical and biological activity of four nucleobases and the sugar-phosphate backbone in various specific tertiary structures is beyond our present imagination, and more functions remain to be found. Therefore, developing insight into the structural basis of these functional nucleic acids is invaluable in understanding their mechanisms and exploring the applications. With a special focus on the four nucleobases, we learnt that nucleobases could contribute to the functions by base stacking, electrostatic interactions, complexion with metal ions, hydrogen bonding, and even act as general acid-base in specific functions. Deletion and substitution of each nucleobases demonstrated the conservation of all the natural and unnatural functional nucleic acids. But from the success of chemical modifications at the level of functional groups on 10-23 DNAzyme, there is still room for the optimization of functional nucleic acids, for practical applications as research tools and genetic therapeutics. It is a big challenge for any functional nucleic acids, to conduct the chemical modification in a right way in the complex tertiary structures, including which residue could be used for chemical modification and which functional groups could be introduced for an expected positive effect.
