In this paper, an analysis was made on the varieties and standards of labiatae medicinal plants used in Tibetan medicine. The results showed 71 species of labiatae plants in 21 genera (including varieties) recorded in relevant literatures, involving 44 varieties of medicinal materials. Specifically, seven species (9.9%) were intersected with traditional Chinese medicines (TCM), 19 varieties (43%) were recorded in Chinese medicinal material standards at all levels, and 27 species (38%) were source plants. In Tibetan medicine standards and literatures, there are great differences between Tibetan names and translated Chinese names and among varieties of source plants. Apart from a few of varieties intersected with traditional Chinese medicines had complete standards and regulations in Chinese Pharmacopoeia, most of species only had characters, microscopic, physical and chemical identifications in Standards Issued by Ministry of Health-Tibetan Medicine, Tibetan Medicine Standard and local standards. Therefore, the Tibetan medicinal material variety-source specification and quality standard system shall be promoted on the basis of literatures research, investigations for resources and current applications and modern pharmaceutical studies.

In this paper, the domestic varieties and quality standard of Leguminosae medicinal plants used in Tibetan medicine were analyzed. The results showed that there were 36 genera and 142 species (including varieties), as well as 64 medicinal materials varieties of Leguminosae plants were recorded in relevant literatures. In relevant Tibetan standards and literatures, there are great differences in varieties, sources, used parts, and efficacy of medicinal plants. Among them, about 38.0% (including 54 species) of the endemic plants, about 25.4% (including 36 species) of the original plants have medicinal standard legal records, except 9 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine general quality standard more fairly completed, the most varieties have only description about characters, identification, etc. Therefore it is necessary to reinforce study for the herbal textual, resources and the use present situation, chemical components and biological activity, quality standard, medicinal terms specification, to promote establishment of quality standard system for variety-terminologies-sources of Tibetan medicinal plants.

In this paper, the popular domestic varieties and quality standard of Scrophulariaceae plants used in Tibetan medicine were analyzed. The results showed that there were 11 genera and 99 species (including varieties), as well as 28 medicinal materials varieties of Scrophulariaceae plants were recorded in the relevant literatures. In relevant Tibetan standards arid literatures, there are great differences in varieties, sources, parts, and efficacies of medicinal plant. Among them, about 41.4% (including 41 species) of endemic plants, about 15.2% (including 15 species) of the original plants have medicinal standard legal records, except the medicinal materials of Scrophalaria ningpoensis, Lagotis brevituba, Picrorhiza scrophulariiflora, Veronica eriogyne general, most varieties have not completed quality standard. Consequently it is necessary to reinforce the herbal textual, resources and the use present situation investigation, the effects of the species resources material foundation and biological activity, quality standard, specification the medical terms of the plants, and promote Tibetan medicinal vareties-terminologies-sources such as the criterion and quality standard system for enriching the varieties of Tibetan medicinal materials and Chinese medicinal resources.

5.The Analysis on the Influence Factors of Commercial Health Insurance Demand Based on the Model of Cross-sectional Fixed Effect
Chinese Health Economics 2018;37(3):27-30
Objective:To analyze the main influencing factors of China's commercial health insurance demand and promote the development of China's health service industry.Methods:Based on the panel data of 31 provinces and cities in China from 2009 to 2015,the model of cross-sectional fixed effect was constructed to conduct empirical analysis on the main influencing factors of China's commercial health insurance demand.Result and Conclusion:More significant influences on commercial health insurance demand factors were urban per capita disposable income,per capita urban employee basic medical insurance fund income,elderly population bring-up ratio and per capita outpatient expenses.For the basic medical insurance of urban employees,the urban employee medical insurance had significant effect on the demand of commercial health insurance.For the basic medical insurance of urban residents,the income impact was more prominent.The proportion of graduates of general institutions of higher learning had few influence commercial health insurance.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of carbon-coated iron nanoparticles carrying cisplatin on the growth of NCI-H446 lung cancer cells and expressions of Caspase 3 and Survivin mRNA.Methods NCI-H446 lung cancer cells were treated with iron-carbon nanoparticles and/or cisplatin.The cell viability was detected by MTT method,and the mRNA expressions of Caspase 3 and Survivin were measured with RT-PCR.Results Cisplatin could inhibit the growth of NCI-H446 lung cancer cells,and the inhibitory effect was stronger when it was combined with the iron-carbon nanoparticles.The cells had apoptosis.The mRNA expression of Caspase 3 of NCI-H446 lung cancer cells was remarkably enhanced after treatment with iron-carbon nanoparticles combined with cisplatin,while the mRNA expression of Survivin was notably weakened (P<0.05).Conclusion Carbon-coated iron nanoparticles carrying cisplatin could significantly increase the chemotherapy sensitivity of cisplatin on NCI-H446 lung cancer cells and enhance the therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapy drugs.

Arnebia euchroma is the main source for medicinal herb Zicao. and its most important component shikonin compounds have high medicinal and industrial value. This research is aimed to build overexpression vectors and RNAi vectors for key secondary metabolism genes of A. euchroma, and bulid platform for constructions of related transgenic lines using GATEWAY technology. To build genetic material based genetic research platform is to provide a great convenience for digging and functional verification of the genes on secondary metabolic pathway, and also to fill the gaps in transgenic research of A. euchroma. This study is also important for the cultivation of shikonin high-yielding strains of A. euchroma.

To study photosynthetic characteristics and its influencing factors in leaves of medicinal plant Mirabilis himalaica, and provide an evidence for guiding artificial planting and improving the quantity. The light-response and diurnal photosynthesis course of leaves at the booting stages of 1-3 year old M. himalaica were measured with LI-6400 system. The Results showed that the light response curves were fitted well by non rectangle hyperbola equation (R2 > or = 0.98). The values of the maximum photosynthetic rate (Pmax) and light use efficiency of three-year old M. himalaica leaves were higher than those of 1-2 year old individuals. The diurnal variation of net photosynthetic rate (Pn) and stomatal conductance (Gs) of 2-3 year old M. himalaica were typical double-peak curves determinately regulated by stomatal conductance. However, transpiration rate (Tr) of 1-3 year old plants leaves were single-peak curve, which was self-protection of harm reduction caused by the higher temperature at noontime. Correlation analysis showed that the changes between photosynthetic active radiation (PFD), air temperature (T ) and Pn, were significant positive related. Therefore, M. himalaica is a typical sun plant, which should be planted under the sufficient sunshine field and prolong the growing ages suitably in order to improve the yield.
