This research is to investigate study the flavonoids from stems of Nelumbo nucifera and the cytotoxic activities of iso- lated compounds. The constituents were separated by column chromatography,and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data analyses. The isolated compounds were evaluated for cytoxic activities by MTT method. Twelve compounds were isolated and identified as rhamnazin-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1), luteolin-3', 4'-dimethylether-7-O-beta-D-glucoside (2), kaempferol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-->2)-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3), quercetin-3,3'-di-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4), 1, 8-dihydroxy-3,7-dimethoxyxanthone (5), isorhamnetin-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside(6) , kaempferol(7), isorhamnetin (8), quercetin(9), astragalin(10), hyperoside (11) and 1-hy- droxy-3,7,8-trimethoxyxanthone(12). All compounds were isolated from stems of this plant for the first time, and compounds 1-5 were firstly isolated from the family nelumbonaceae. Compounds 24 and 6 showed significant cytotoxic activities against BEL-7402 carcinoma cell lines at a concentration of 1 x 10(-5) mol x L(-1) with the inhibitory rate of 67.36%, 53.25%, 57.78%, 60.13% and 52.11%, respectively.

Objective To probe the clinical values of the human serum glycoprotein profiles for the diagnosis of common gynecological tumors. Methods A total of 123 clinical serum samples which included 31 breast cancer, 24 cervical cancer, 19 ovarian cancer and 49 healthy individuals were collected. A lectin microarray consisting of 15 lectins with different glycan binding specificities was used to determine the glycoprotein profiles of serum sam-ples. Stepwise discrimination analysis method was adopted to establish function model of clinical serum samples classification with SPSS 15. 0 software. Results Two grades of diagnostic discrimination function models were es-tablished. The first grade discrimination function could differentiate gynecological tumors from healthy individuals, the diagnostic accuracy rates of retrospective inspection were 85. 7% and 83. 8% respectively, and the total diag-nostic accuracy rate was 84.6%. The second grade discrimination function was used to differentiate breast tumor, cervical tumor and ovarian tumor, the diagnostic accuracy rates of retrospective inspection were 96.8%,75.0%and 78.9% respectively, and the total diagnostic accuracy rate was 85.1%. Conclusion The human serum gly-coprotein profiles are associated with gynecological tumors, and the established discrimination function models based on lectin microarray data have a helpful reference value for the clinical diagnosis of gynecological tumors.

Objective Evaluate the safety and efficacy of indwelling healer tube in prevention and cure the conglutination after the surgurey of flexor tendon tenosynovitis. Methods During the year of 2001～2006, We have 38 young patients treated with indwelling of healer tube into the local or partial of the recovering muscle and sinew, then anesthetic and sodium hyaluronate were injected in the tube in certain intervals to lubicate and prevent conglutination after the operations of joint of children flexor tendon tenosynovitis. Then let the young patients do some healing training attne earlystage after surgery. Groups of patient were set up to make comparative analysis and evaluate the effectiveness of indwelling of the healer tubes according to the recovery status of the function of arthrosis and grasp after surgery. Results The result is that the rate of choiceness of 46 sinew is 89.1% in 34 cases with indwelling healer tube after the observing period from 6 months to 2 years, whereas the other group of 44 sinew in 30 cases has the rate of choiceness of 63.6%. The comparison has the significant conclusion of statistics (P<0.05). Conclusion It is convenient and safe to use indwelling healer tube to prevent the conglutination after the operation of joint the broken finger muscle and sinew of children. Therefore it is worth popularizing and promoting.

Objective To know the advantages and disadvantages of problem-based learning from students'angle. Methods Interviewed 15 students by PBL scale and face to face interview,to know their ideas about problem-based learning,and then analyzed the results. Results PBL contributed to developing problem-solving skills,self-directed learning,team collaboration and extending professional knowl-edge. But it failed to show positive effect on students'learning motivation. Conclusions PBL has two sides on the outcomes of learning. Implementing PBL appropriately could gain the optimal effects.

The insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1) is a key regulator of mRNA metabolism and transport during development. Recent studies indicate that IGF2BP1 is aberrantly expressed in liver cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, ovarion cancer, breast cancer, etc.. IGF2BP1 expression is found to promote tumor cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and correlate with poor prognosis. Further understanding of the mechanism of IGF2BP1 in malignancy may provide new targeted therapy strategies.

This study is to study is to investigate the coumarins from Fruit of Cnidium monnieri and their cytotoxic activities. The constituents were separated by column chromatography, and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data analyses. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytoxic activities by MTT method. Eleven compounds were isolated and identified as osthole (1), bergaptan (2), xanthotoxol (3), xanthotoxin (4), imperatorin (5), isopimpinellin (6), osthenol (7), psoralen (8), 5,7-dimethoxycoumarin (9), oxypeucedaninhydrate (10), and swietenocoumarin F (11). Compounds 7, 9-11 were isolated from the Cnidium genus for the first time. Compounds 1,5,10 and 11 showed significant cytotoxic activities against L1210 cell lines at a concentration of 1 x 10(-5) mol x L(-1) with inhibitory rates of were 70.13, 63.10, 55.77, and 75.08% respectively.

The macroporous resin separation technology has been mainly applied in the enrichment of saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids and other ingredients, and used in the removal of heavy metal impurities and pesticide residues in recent years. This paper focuses on the synthesis of the new-type macroporous adsorption resin LKS-11 according to the molecular structure characteristics of procymidone. Specifically, the selective absorptive property and other advantages of macroporous resin were utilized to analyze the procymidone removal efficiency in ginseng extracts from different sources. The type of macroporous resins, absorptive property and desorption conditions were observed respectively by static and dynamic adsorption methods to determined the optimum process conditions. According to the results, LKS-11 showed a good absorptive property to procymidone in ginseng extracts and provided a theoretical basis for studies on the removal of procymidone residues from ginseng extracts by using macroporous adsorption resin. Because of no secondary pollution on samples, low production and operation costs, high procymidone removal efficiency and high product recovery rate, this method is suitable to be applied in production.
