The targets information access was used to construct and visualize components-targets-pathways network model using the kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway database and Cytoscape software.

RESULT AND CONCLUSIONSerine threonine protein kinases play an important role in the process of cells. They were potential targets in the effect of Siwu decoction analogous formulae. The effect of main active ingredients involved 51 the pathway. Besides the same ones, Shaofu Zhuyu decoction had more effect on lipid metabolism, Xiangfu Siwu decoction on amino acid metabolism pathways, Taohong Siwu decoction on carbohydrate metabolism, while, Qinlian Siwu decoction on ErbB, VEGF signal transduction pathway. Siwu decoction and its derived formulae not only had common targets and pathways, but also had their own emphasis. This reflected the formulae effect mode of multi-ingredients, multi-targets and multi-pathways. It may provide clues to deeper study of molecular mechanism of Siwu decoction analogous formulae action.

Objective To study the effect of Corylin on A375 cells melanin synthesis,and explore its mechanism.Methods The cells were randomly divided into the control group, the estradiol group, and corylin group including 10-3μmol/L, 10-2μmol/L, 10-1μmol/L, 1μmol/L, 10μmol/L, 100μmol/L. Estradiol estradiol intervention group were given 10-3 mol/L. Corylin group (10-3μmol/L, 10-2μmol/L, 10-1μmol/L, 1μmol/L, 10μmol/L,100μmol/L) were given 10-3μmol/L, 10-2μmol/L, 10-1μmol/L, 1μmol/L, 10μmol/L, 100μmol/L corylin intervention. The activity of proliferation were detected by MTT, NaOH method, dopa oxidation , both melanin content and tyrosinase activity (tyrosinase, TYR). TYR, yrosinase related protein (tyrosinase related protein, TRP)-1 and TRP-2 expression levels of mRNA were determined by RT-PCR.Results Compared with the control group, 10, 100μmol/L of Corylin group cell proliferation rate significantly decreased (P<0.01). The 1μmol/L, 10-1μmol/L, 10-2μmol/L of Corylin group cell melanin content, TYR significantly decreased (P<0.01 or P<0.05). The 1μmol/L corylin group TYR (0.303 ± 0.003vs. 0.628 ± 0.012), TRP-1 (0.313 ± 0.008 vs. 0.677 ± 0.022), TRP-2 (0.456 ± 0.028vs. 0.687 ± 0.020) mRNA expression level significantly decrease (P<0.01).Conclusions The results showed that Corylin could inhibit melanin synthesis, which worked probably through inhibiting the activity of TYR and cutting the mRNA expressions of TYR,TRP-1/2.

Objective To detect the effective strategy for monitoring the early liver leisure.Methods Two grups,in- cluding clinical symptoms with ALT test and clinical symptoms with PA and ALT test,were used to monitor the liver leis- ure.Results There are 74% of cases founded occurring liver leisure during anti-tuberculosis therapy after administe- ring the latter strategy including clinical symptoms with PA and ALT test.The incidence of occurring liver leisure is 51% at one week,none of the defaults occurred after onset of drug induced liver leisure when they were administered the liver protection drugs,and the rate of treatment completion is 100%,only 27% of patients was detected with liver leisure after using the former strategy including clinical symptoms with ALT test.The incidence of liver leisure is 2% at one week,the frequency of discontinued therapy is 16% after on-set of drug induced liver leisure when they took the liver protecting drug,and the full-time therapy rate is 84%.Conclusion The indicator including clinical symptoms,PA and ALT is prospective strategy in monitoring liver leisure,which can be used to detect the early liver leisure effectively induced by anti-tuberculosis drugs.The anti-tuberculosis therapy can be introduced smoothly,and the incidence of treatment fail- ure will be decreased by using liver protection drug after onset of drug induced liver leisure.

Objective To prepare biphasic calcium phosphate/polyvinyl alcohol scaffolds by 3D printing at room temperature and explore the effect of 3D scaffolds on in vitro osteogenic differentiation of the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs).Methods After biphasic calcium phosphate and polyvinyl alcohol solutions were mixed,the biphasic calcium phosphate/polyvinyl alcohol composite scaffolds were prepared by room temperature 3D printing combined with freeze drying technique.Non-printing scaffolds were prepared by injection molding.The surface microstructure,porosity,elastic modulus and hydrophilicity of the 2 sorts of scaffolds were measured.The cytological experiments were carried out in 3 groups (n =3):printed scaffold group,non-printed scaffold group and blank control group (no scaffold).After the BMSCs were seeded onto the scaffolds for 7 and 14 days,the 3 groups were compared in terms of cellular proliferation,alkaline phosphatase activity and expression levels of osteogenesis-related genes.Results 3D composite scaffolds with controllable pore size and porosity were prepared successfully,with an average porosity of 59.6％ ± 3.6％ and an average elastic modulus of 429.3 ± 54.3 kPa.After culture for 7 and 14 days,the cellular absorbance values in the printed scaffold group (0.987 ± 0.047 and 1.497 ± 0.076) were significantly higher than those in the non-printed scaffold group (0.767 ±0.063 and 1.181 ±0.098) (P ＜ 0.05) which were in turn significantly higher than those in the blank control group (0.532 ±0.046 and 0.895 ± 0.062) (P ＜ 0.05).After culture for 7 and 14 days,the ALP activity and expression levels of osteogenesis-related genes in the printed and non-printed scaffold groups showed no significant between-group differences (P ＞ 0.05),but were significantly higher than those in the blank control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Tissue-engineered composite biphasic calcium phosphate/polyvinyl alcohol scaffolds with controllable pore size and good connectivity can be prepared by freeze-drying and room temperature 3D printing techniques.Co-culture of the scaffolds and BMSCs in vitro promotes adhesion,proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of the cells.

The total effect of Chinese medicine pair (CMP) was not the simply addition of two single herbs, but the interaction of their different components. Therefore, the research on the bio-active components of CMP is the basis of CMP compatibility study, and has important significance for revealing the compatibility effect and action mechanism, and creating traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) new drugs. This paper summed up the latest research progress of CMP on the basis of the bio-active components variation regularity of CMP from chemical solutions and content changes in vitro and the actions of CMP on bodies in vivo, in order to further drive the modern basic and applied research of CMP, and to reveal the scientific essence of CMP compatibility.

Background The molecular biological mechanisms of diabetic retinopathy(DR)is unclear up to now.Researches have proved that endoplasmic reticulum stress(ER Stress)-associated factors are elevated in peripheral blood in patients with diabetic retinopathy.and P58 IPK can inhibit those factors.So the relationship between P58 IPK and DR is worth to investigate. Objective The aim of this study was to detect the dynamic expression of P58 IPK in the retina of diabetic rats. Methods The diabetic animal models were established in 18 clean male SD rats by intraperitoneal injection of stilptozotiein(STZ)at a dose of 60 mg/kg.The rats were sacrificed in 1,3,6 months after injection.The expression change of P58 IPK mRNA in the rats retina was detected by quantitative real-time RT-PCR.Other 6 matched normal rats were used as control groups.This experiment followed the Regulations for the Administration of Affair Concerning experimental Animals by State Science and Technology Commission. Results The rats showed more drinking,more food and more urine after STZ injection with the blood glucose level≥ 16.5 mmol/L.The success rate of diabetic models was 100%.The A value of P58 IPK mRNA/β-actin in rat retina was 0.800±0.005 and 0.975±0.008 after injection of STZ.and that of control rats was 0.725±0.006,showing statistically significant difference between them(t=22.589,t=62.784,P＜0.05).In 6 months after injection of STZ,the expression of P58 IPK mRNA in experimental diabetic rat retina was evidently lower than the eontrol rats(0.671±0.004 versus 0.725±0.006,t=-17.984,P＜0.05).Conclusion P58 IPK has a close relation to the pathogenesis of DR,and it plays a retarding role for DR.
