Morus alba L. (mulberry) is a well-known deciduous tree, belonging to the genus of Morus of Moraceae famlily. Its leaves, twigs, roots (bark) and fruits are widely used in the traditional Chinese medicine. The active constituents of mulberry contained flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, coumarins, with the significant hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, antihypertension, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-tumor and immunomodulatory activities. This review summarized the research progress of the major pharmacological activity, pharmacokinetics and drug-drug interaction based on CYPs and transporters of mulberry and its active constituents.

[Objective] To establish a method to seperate rat mesenchymal stem cells(rMSCs) from rat marrow, culture rMSCs in vitro, and study its biological characteristics. [Methods] rMSCs were seperated from rat marrow with wall-sticking method and expanding cultured in vitro. To draw the growth curves of cells at 1th, 3th, 5th passage, detect the surface antigens with flow cytometry. To evaluate the effect of fetal calf serum with different concentrations to rMSCs. [Results] There were approximately (5~6)?105 cells after primary culture and over (2~3)?108 rMSCs at 5th passage. The appearance of rMSCs is like shape of spear and its growth curves are like shape of S. The rMSCs were positive for CD90 and negative for CD45. [Conclusions] Cells seperated and cultured by the method established in this experiment were rMSCs. They have the biological characteristics of rMSCs, and are good resources for study in tissue engineering.

Drug combination is extensive in the clinical real world,which is an important part and the inherent requirements of the post-marketing evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The key issues and technology include multi-domain and multi-disciplinary such as the rationality, efficacy and safety evaluation of combination drug starting from clinical real world, study on component in vivo and mechanism of combination drug, the risk/benefit assessment and cost-benefit evaluation of combination drug and so on. The topic has been studied as clinical demonstration on combination therapy of variety of diseases such as coronary heart disease, stroke, insomnia, depression, hepatitis, herpes zoster, psoriasis and ectopic pregnancy. Meanwhile, multi-disciplinary dynamic innovation alliance of clinical drug combination has been presented, which can promote the academic development and improving service ability and level of TCM.

Objective To explore the relationship between mathematical characteristics of cardiotocograph in electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) and umbilical blood acidosis,and help to evaluate the clinical significance of indeterminate EFM.Methods A total of 85 vaginal delivery cases (or transfer to caesarean section during labor) hospitalized in Peking University Third Hospital during February 4 to December 5,2011 was enrolled in this retrospective study.EFM monitored 0.5-1 hour before delivery was recorded and the mathematical characteristics as the baseline,deceleration area per unit time (cm2/min),deceleration duration ratio and some other variables of EFM were analyzed.All cases were divided into acidosis (n=12) and non-acidosis group (n=73) based on the umbilical blood gas results.Rank sum test or t-test were used to compare the difference on mathematical characteristics between these two groups.Results The deceleration duration ratio and deceleration area per unit time in acidosis group were 0.56±0.17 and 0.45 cm2/min (0.38-0.79 cm2/min),which were higher than those in non acidosis group [0.42±0.14 and 0.30 cm2/min (0.19-0.40 cm2/min)],the differences were statistically significant (t=2.889,Z=2.587,both P<0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the number of mild variable deceleration and severe deceleration per unit time between acidosis group and non acidosis group [(0.44± 0.14)/min vs (0.41±0.13)/min,t=1.318,P>0.05; 0.033/min (0.016-0.062/min) vs 0.016/min (0.008-0.033/min),Z=-1.596,P>0.05].Conclusions The deceleration duration ratio and deceleration area per unit time can be used to assist the interpretation of indeterminate EFM.

Aim To study the effect of emodin on IL-8 secretion and NF-?B activation of HT-29 cells,and explore the molecular mechanism of emodin.Methods The cytotoxicity of emodin was assessed by WST;NF-?B activation was detected with co-focal microscopy by immunofluorescence;the production of IL-8 was investigated by ELISA.Results Emodin with the concentration of 10~80 ?mol?L-1 could decrease the mass production of IL-8 Secretion of HT-29 cells stimulated by IFN-?+LPS in a dose-dependent manner.Emodin with various concentrations could inhibit NF-?B activation dose-dependently.Conclusions Emodin inhibited IL-8 secretion and NF-?B activation of HT-29 cells stimulated by IFN-?+LPS.

PurposeTo study the changes of serum nitric oxide(NO)and endothelin(ET)levels by L-Arg therapy in acute hypoxic model. MethodsNADPH diaphorase histochemical staining method, Griess biochemical assay and radioimmune assay were applied to investigate the changes of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) ,NO, cGMP and ET in normal, hypoxic and L-Arg treated hypoxic rats. Resultsduring acute hypoxia, while serum ET rose up significantly, both the levels of serum NO and cGMP and the activity of NOS were significantly lower. After the application of L-Arg therapy, the activity of NOS did not change significantly, but the levels of serum NO and cGMP rose up significantly, and the level of serum ET was to the opposite direction. ConclusionsNO and ET may modulate hypoxic pulmonary hypertension, and acute hypoxia can result in acute hypoxic pulmonary hypertension. L-Arg can reverse the acute hypoxic hypertension.

Insulin resistance model of 3T3-L1 adipocytes were prepared with plamotic acid.Adipocytes with generated insulin resistance were cultured with different concentrations of globular domain of adiponectin(gAd:250,500,1 000 ng/ml).The cell culture medium glucose content was detected with the glucose oxidase method,the mRNA expressions of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1),phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase(PI3K),and protein kinase B(PKB) were detected with real-time quantitative PCR method.The phosphorylation of IRS-1 was detected by Western blot.Compared with the control group,the experimental group showed significantly increased glucose consumption (P < 0.01),and with the increasing gAd concentration,glucose consumption was gradually increasing.IRS-1 phosphorylation was increased gradually with the increasing concentration of gAd.These results suggest that gAd can promote glucose uptake by 3T3-L1 adipocyte model with generated insulin resistance.This may be correlated with promoting insulin signal transduction and improving insulin resistance in adipocytes.
