Objective:To study the change rule of decocting quantity of the effective components in Amomi fructus and Amomi fructus rotundus with decocting time to determine whether or not decocted later and optimal decocting time. Methods:The herbs were extracted by the traditional water decoction, and at different time points, sampling was carried out. Using camphor and eucalyptol as the index components, the change rule of decocting quantity of the effective components with the decoction time under the condition of single and combined decoction was investigated. Results:When the decoction time of Amomi fructus was within the range of 3-6 min, the total amount of camphor in the decoction reached relatively high value, and the total amount lost more than 45% when the decoction time exceeded 10 min. Amomi fructus rotundus boiled for a short time below 2 min, and when the decoction time was more than 5 min, more than 50% eucalyptol lost. Conclusion:Amomi fructus and Amomi fructus rotundus should be decocted later with decocting time within 3-6min and below 2 min, respectively. The analytical method is reliable and precise in the quality control of relative decoction.

Objective To evaluate effects of trichostain A (TSA) on cell proliferation, cell cycles, apoptosis and invasiveness of multiple myeloma cell line U266; as well as active changes of methylation regulating proteins including DNA methyl-transferase(DNMTs), methyl-binding domain (MBD) proteins: MBD2 and MeCP2 after treated with TSA. Methods U266 cells were treated with different concentrations of TSA for 12, 24, 48 and 60 h. The proliferation activity of U266 cells was detected by MTT and the IC50 of 24 h was calculated. After U266 cells were treated with IC50, cell cycles were check out by dying with PI. mRNA of matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2), bc1-2, bcl-xl and methylation regulating proteins (DNMTs, MBD2 and MeCP2) were detected by real-time PCR. FCM and Western blotting were used to measure expressions of MMP-2 and MBD2. Results MTT results revealed TSA inhibited proliferation of U266 cells in a dose-and time-dependent manner and the IC50 of 24 h was 0.07 μmol/L FCM analysis showed that TSA could arrest the cell cycle in G0/G1 and the proliferation index (PI) in U266 cells [(49.90 0.39)%]were significantly different after exposed to TSA (0.7 μmnol/L for 24h compared with that in the control cells[(55.78 0.49)%](P <0.01). After treated by TSA, the 2-△△Ct of MMP-2, bcl-2 and bcl-xl were 0.71 0.06, 5.04 0.92 and 2.95 0.35, respectively. There were great changes on mRNA of DNMT, MBD2 and MeCP2. TSA could reverse the transcription of DNMT, MBD2 and MeCP2. Conclusion TSA can arrest the U266 cell cycle in GVG, to prevent its proliferation and promote apoptosis, which maybe greatly connect with the changes of the methylation regulating proteins.

OBJECTIVE:To establish the method for simultaneous determination of 6 components in Lonicera japonica,and to study the content changes of them before and after before and after carbonized. METHODS:UPLC method was adopted. The deter-mination was performed on Agilent Eclipse Plus C18 RRHD column with mobile phase consisting of 0.1% phosphoric acid solu-tion-acetonitrile(gradient elution)at the flow rate of 0.2 mL /min. The detection wavelength was set at 350 nm,and column tem-perature was 25 ℃. The sample size was 1 μL. RESULTS:The linear ranges of chlorogenic acid,rutin,galuteolin,isochlorogenic acid A,isochlorogenic acid B and isochlorogenic acid C were 21.2-424 μg(r=0.9993),1.17-23 μg(r=0.9995),2.18-43 μg(r=0.9998),5.10-102 μg(r=0.9993),2.60-52 μg(r=0.9991),4.95-99 μg(r=0.9998),respectively. RSDs of precision,stability and repeatability tests were all lower than 2.0%. Recoveries were 97.11%-99.76%(RSD=1.20%,n=6),95.20%-99.90%(RSD=2.20%,n=6),95.71%-100.30%(RSD=2.20%,n=6),95.00%-96.98%(RSD=0.88%,n=6),96.47%-103.00%(RSD=2.40%, n=6),95.78%-103.80%(RSD=3.20%,n=6). Compared with before processing,the contents of rutin,isochlorogenic acid B and isochlorogenic acid C in L. japonica were increased along with processing,the contents of chlorogenic acid and isochlorogenic acid A were decreased significantly,while the content of galuteolin had no significant change. CONCLUSIONS:The method is sim-ple,precise,stable and repeatable,and can be used for simultaneous determination of 6 components in L. japonica. Those chemi-cal components have certain changes before and after carbonized.

Objective To investigate the characteristic immunophenotype of B cell chronic lymphoid leukemia in china. Method Single and multiparameter flow cytometry were used to analysis 163 cases of B cell chronic lymphoid leukemia. Results 71.8%(117/163) of cases co-expressed CD5 and B cell markers. The patients were classified into category of B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia(B-CLL), hairy cell leukemia(HCL) and other B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders(LPDs) by using the scoring system that was recommended by world health organization (WHO). The B-CLL typically display the composite phenotypes: CD5+,CD23+,CD20+,CD19+,HLA-DR+,but the CD22,CD11c,CD25 and FMC7 were variable present in some B-CLL cases.CD103 seems the most specific marker for HCL.To differentiate diagnosis of atypical B-CLL with B-prolymphocytic leukemia(B-PLL) or mantle cell lymphoma(MCL), one must not rely exclusively on immunophenotypic dates, cytogenetic or molecular biology detection would be helpful. The index of froward scatter( FSC) and antigens expression of tumor B cells could be calculated by dividing the relevant value of residual normal T cell within same sample as internal control, so the cell size and the intensity of antigen expression could be comparable each other and quantitative between different investigations. Conclusion immunophenotypic analysis is an extremely useful adjunct in the diagnosis of chronic lymphoid leukemia.

Objective To explore the effect of postweaning enriched environment and citalopram treatment during juvenility on the behaviour of male rats exposed to early adverse stress. Methods The newborn pups were randomly divided into maternal separation group (MS) and non-maternal separation group (NMS). Offspring were weaned on PND22 and housed in same-rearing groups under either standard or enriched conditions or citalopram treatment until adulthood. All of them were examined by sucrose consumption test, forced swimming test (FST) and morris water maze test (MWZ). Results (1) MS had significantly less consumption of sucrose intake (ml/g)(0.013 ±0.006, n = 10), compared with the following five groups (MS + EE (0.023 ±0.012, n = 8); MS + Drug (0.027 ±0.012, n = 9); NMS (0.022 ± 0. 007, n=11);NMS + EE (0.023 ±0.007, n = 7); NMS + Drug (0.032 ±0.011),n=7)), NMS + Drug had significantly increased the radio of sucrose consumption on NMS group. (2)The immobility in FST were longer in MS-experienced groups (MS (140. 19 ± 37.01) s, n = 8); MS + EE (129.41 ±29.50)s, n = 6) ;NMS + Drug (128.83 ±26. 11)s, n = 6)) than three non-MS groups (NMS (96.28 ±35.63)s,n = 7); NMS + EE (94.17 ±24. 87)s, n = 6) ;NMS + Drug (93.00 ±34. 21)s, n = 6)). (3) MS had shorter time and shorter percentage of distance spent in target quadrant in MWZ,citalopram treatment markedly improved spatial memory on NMS group. Conclusion Maternal separation applied in newborn rats induces a broad spectrum of behavioral changes reminiscent of depressive symptoms in humans, which might be reversed to some extent by EE and antidepressant in young adults.
