[Abstract ] Objective Globular C1q receptor (gC1qR), a highly acidic receptor protein, is expressed in almost all mamma-lian cells in addition to exoerythrocytic, which can mediate a variety of biological responses.The study aimed to explore gC1qR expres-sion in cervical cancer and itd effects on the biological behaviors of human cervical cancer cells. Methods Retrospective analysis was made on 100 cervical tissue samples of patients in Nanjing Maternal and Child Health Hospital from August 2014 to April 2015, in-cluding 50 cervicitis tissues and 50 cervical cancer tissues.Immunohistochemical SP method was applied in the research of cervical cancer cell line C33a to detect the expression and the location of gC1qR in cervical tissues.Real-time PCR and Western blot analysis were respectively applied to detect the levels of gC1qR mRNA and gC1qR protein expression.Besides, the abilities of C33a cells mi-gration, invasion and apoptosis were respectively assessed by in vitro cell wound healing experiment, transwell assay and flow cytome-try. Results The expression of gC1qR gene was dramatically decreased in the group of cervical cancer tissues when compared with chronic cervictis group (2.18 ±0.37 vs 7.23 ±0.69, 0.27 ±0.09 vs 0.74 ±0.02, P<0.001).gC1qR overexpression could result in sig-nificant up-regulation of cervical celluer apoptosis([22.89 ±1.46]%vs [12.98 ±0.57]%) and down-regulation in migration ([42.60 ± 3.29]%vs [141.83 ±4.71]%) and invasion([26.20 ±2.89]%vs [67.13 ±0.95]%).Typical apoptosis was also observed in cervi-
cal cells by transmission electron microscope. Conclusion gC1qR expression might play an important role in inhibiting the invasion and migration of cervical cancer cells and inducing the apoptosis of cervical carcinoma cells, which provides new clues and potential targets for the treatment of cervical cancer in further research.

The host protein SAMHD1 has been identified as the first mammalian deoxynucleoside triphosphate triphosphohydrolase (dNTPase), which blocks the infection of HIV-1 in non-cycling immune cells.SAMHD1 protein is highly expressed in human myeloid-lineage cells and resting CD4+T lymphocytes, which restricts HIV-1 replication by hydrolyzing the cellular dNTPs, thus inhibiting reverse transcription and viral complementary DNA ( cDNA) synthesis. Recent studies have revealed that SAMHD 1 plays an important role in virus whole life by promoting HIV -1 genome recombination, degenerating viral genome RNA and restricting virus transmission between cells .In this review, these progress on SAMHD1 research are summarized and the mechanisms by which SAMHD 1 mediates retroviral restriction are analyzed .

METHODS L9(34) orthogonal test was used to optimize the extraction process of Guiqi Yiyuan decoction by using index as comprehensive evaluation of the extraction rate, total polysaccharide content and n-butanol extract content. Thin layer chromatography(TLC) was used to identify Astragali Radix, Angelicae Sinensis Radix, Lycii Fructus and Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma in the decoction. The content of glucoside of calycosin as the main active ingredient of Astragali Radix was determined by HPLC. The differences in relative density, insoluble matter and loading amount were checked according to the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 edition, and the quality control method was established. RESULTS The optimum process was 12 times water, 4 h extraction time and 2 times extraction. TLC identification results showed that the chromatograms had clear spots, good separation and strong specificity. The linear range of calycosin glucoside was 0.089 6-1.344 0 µg(r2=0.999 4), the average recovery was 99.51%, RSD was 2.59%(n=9). The relative density of decoction was 1.39, and the difference of insoluble matter and loading amount was in accordance with the provisions of Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 edition. CONCLUSION The optimized water extraction process is scientific and reasonable, and the quality standard is effective and controllable, which can be used for the quality control of Guiqi Yiyuan decoction.
