Objective To explore the antitumor mechanism of xianhe yanling recipe( XHYLR ). Methods The mechanism of action of 241 compounds contained in the Chinese medicine, XHYLR was studied by using computational pharmacological. Methods including molecular docking,biotechnology network,chemical space technology and the prediction of absorption,distribution,metabolism,excretion and toxicity( ADME/T). Results Most of the compounds in XHYLR had good drug-like properties. Distribution of 241 compounds in chemical space also revealed that these compounds showed similar anti-tumor activity. It suggested that the prescription of XHYLR was reasonable. The phenomena that one molecular interacted with multiple target proteins and several molecules interact with one target protein were observed in XHYLR. For example,the COX-2 interacted with 40 micromolecules,and catechin interacted with five targets including COX-2. Conclusion These results are helpful for understanding the complicated mechanism of anti-tumor activity of XHYLR.

Objective To analyze the sensitivity of auxiliary examinations in different periods of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD).Methods The clinical data of 53 sCJD patients were retrospectively analyzed including the different stages of skull diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI),24-hour ambulatory electroencephalogram (EEG),18F-FDG PET/CT (PET-CT)and cerebrospinal fluid 14-3-3 protein.When calculating the sensitivity of an auxiliary examination,the diagnostic criteria were defined by combining the specific clinical manifestations with two or more positive results of other auxiliary examinations.Results There were 24,53 and 22 sCJD patients,respectively,met the criterion of early (E),middle (M) and later (L) stage of disease (some patients fit 2 or 3 stages).The sensitivity ofDWl (E:58.3% M:85.4%,L:94.7%),EEG (E:45.8%,M:62.7%,L:77.8%),14-3-3 protein in cerebrospinal fluid (E:11.1%,M:52.9%) and PET-CT (E:80%,M:100%) increased gradually with disease progression,The sensitivity of PET-CT was higher than the other auxiliary examinations for E and M stages;no PET-CT was conducted in L stage.High signal regions mainly distributed in the cortex in E and M stages,but in L stage,no significant difference was found on the distribution of high signal regions between cortex and basal ganglia.Conclusions The sensitivities of the auxiliary examinations were different for sCJD patients in different stages.Reexaminations in different periods may improve the sensitivity for sCJD diagnosis.The sensitivity of PET-CT was high,and the combination of PET-CT and other auxiliary examinations may play a key role in the diagnosis of sCJD.

Abstract: Objective To analyze the spatial-temporal characteristics of the active pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and the pathogenic positive PTB in Fuling District of Chongqing during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, so as to explore the clustering areas, and provide scientific basis for the precise prevention and control of tuberculosis in Fuling District. Methods The PTB registration data of 27 townships in Fuling District from 2016 to 2020 were collected. The descriptive analysis were used to describe the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of patients, SaTScan9.0 and ArcGis10.6 was used for spatial-temporal scanning analysis and local auto-correlation analysis. The results were visualized by ArcGis10.6. Results A total of 4 038 case of active PTB patients were registered and a downward trend was observed in PTB during the 13th Five-Year Plan period in Fuling District. The average annual registration rate of PTB was 70.17/100 000, and the annual PTB registration rate declined by 8.21%. The peak of active PTB and etiological positive PTB were mainly concentrated in March and June respectively. The top five streets of cumulative active PTB patients registered were Lizhi street, Dunren street, Chongyi street, Ma 'an street and Jiangdong street, accounting for 60.18% of the total registered PTB patients during the 13th Five-Year Plan period. The top three average annual registration rates were Dunren street (101.35/100 000), Chongyi street (101.34/100 000) and Wulingshan Township (99.21/100 000). The registered PTB from 2016 to 2020 showed a global auto-correlation (Moran's I=0.64, P<0.0001). The "high-high" area of active PTB and the etiological positive PTB all covered Lizhi street, Jiangdong street and Longqiao street. By scanning analysis of spatial-temporal, the primary cluster of active PTB concentrated in the main urban area south of the Yangtze River in Fuling during January 2016 to December 2017, and the primary cluster of pathogenic positive PTB concentrated in the main urban area south of the Yangtze River in Fuling and Jiangdong street during January 2019 to December 2020. Conclusions During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, there was the spatial-temporal clustering of PTB in Fuling District, which mainly gathered in the main urban area south of the Yangtze River in Fuling district and surrounding streets centered on Lizhi street.

The mainly antigenic sites for the adenovirus neutraliation are present on Loop1 and Loop2 of hexon.Majority research were focus in the human adenovirus.Little was known on infectious canine hepatitis virus (ICHV), which was also called canine adenovirus typeⅠ.Here,ICHV (the isolated strain) DNA was isolated and purified from the cultured MDCK cells.The Loop1 and Loop2 fragments were amplified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) method,and then was connected by ligase T4.The target fragment was then connected with vector pET28a.The nucleotide sequence ecoding Loop1 and Loop2 was determined.The nucleotide sequence identity of Loop1 region between the isolated strain and CLL, RI261 and Toronto A26/61 strains is 100%, 100% and 83.8%, and the nucleotide sequence identity of Loop2 region between the isolated strain and CLL, RI261 and Toronto A26/61 strains is 88.1% , 88.1% and 99.3%, and amino acid identity is 93.6%, 93.6% and 98.6%.The recombinant Loop protein was expressed in E.coli and was approximately 36kDa in size,and then was purified. Then BALB/c mice were injected subcutaneously in the back and armpit with the recombinant Loop protein.The anti-ICHV antibody titers of immunized serum was tested by indirect ELISA and the titers were up to 1:320.Western blot demonstrated that immunized sera could specifically combine with ICHV. The research laid a foundation for creating new genetic engineering products of infectious canine hepatitis virus.

Carbon-nitrogen lyases (E.C.4.3) are a group of enzymes that release ammonia, amidine or amino group etc, and also show ability to form double bond or ring structure. Specifically, enzymes forming amino group are called amine-lyases (E.C.4.3.3), which are critical in the industrial production of many medicine intermediates. In this review is a summary of four major amine-lyases in terms of their source, enzymatic characteristics and their applications in preparation of pharmaceutical intermediates.
