This study was aimed to find the correlation between amino acid compositions and Cold-Heat Nature of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in order to provide basis for the research of TCM natural theory. A total of 17 kinds of amino acid were determined by application before column derivatization reaction and high-perfor-mance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the tryptophan was determined by UV method. The data were collected for analysis by Fisher method in PAST software. The best statistical identification model was determined. And the Cold-Hot medicine property markers (CHMP-markers) were determined. The results showed that the discriminant function established by Fisher method based on 18 kinds of amino acid contents has good identification ability, and the accuracy of the Fisher discriminant analysis is 82%. Support vector machine (SVM) is the best statistical identification model . The cold and heat markers were analyzed by SVM . The cold nature material bases in-clude Glu, Gly, Arg, Thr, Ala, Tyr, Val, Ile and lys. And the heat nature material bases contain Asp, Ser, His, Pro, Met, Cys, Leu, Phe and Trp. It was concluded that there is relationship between 18 kinds of amino acid contents and the Cold-Heat nature of TCM .

Objective To explore the related mechanism of clinical nurses′career growth from three aspects such as organization, family and oneself. Methods Totally 480 clinical registered nurses from eight tertiary first- class hospitals of Tianjin City were investigated with the Proactive Personality Scale, Psychological Safety Climate Scale, Work- Family Support Scale,Career Growth Scale by convenient sampling method. Results Latent interaction structural equation modeling (SEM) showed that family support and work support both had a positive effect on career growth, whose path coefficient were 0.42 and 0.26 respectively, P<0.01, but the interaction was inapparent, P>0.05. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that proactive personality had a negative effect on the relationship of work support and career growth whose regression coefficient was -0.148, P<0.01, and psychological safety climate had a positive effect on the relationship of work support and career growth whose regression coefficient was 0.178, P<0.05. Conclusions In order to promote clinical nurses′career growth, the construction of nurse team and improve quality of nursing, hospital and nurse managers should construct a favorable work atmosphere, provide more support, attach importance to the effect of individual personality on career growth and help nurse deal with work and family well.

Aim To study the antipsychotic effects of l-Scoulerine ( l-SLR) . Methods NMDAreceptorantag-onist MK-801 was used to induce the positive and neg-ative symptoms of schizophrenia and cognitive impair-ment in animal models. The effects of l-SLR were eval-uated on schizophrenia induced by MK-801 and on ex-trapyramidal system. Results l-SLR (10,15 mg · kg - 1 , ip) could suppress pre-pulse inhibition damage in rats induced by MK-801 (0. 3 mg·kg - 1 , ip); l-SLR(30 mg·kg - 1 , ip) could inhibit climbing behav-iors in mice induced by apomorphine, which suggested that l-SLR had significant inhibiting effects on the posi-tive symptoms of schizophrenia by MK-801 and apo-morphine. l-SLR could also induce social contact inhi-bition and cognitive impairment induced by MK-801 (0. 2 mg · kg - 1 , ip), which proposed that l-SLR could improve the negative symptoms and cognitive im-pairment by MK-801. Catalepsy in mice could be caused by the treatment dose of haloperidol (0. 8 mg· kg - 1 , ip), not by that of l-SLR(30 mg·kg - 1 , ip). Conclusion I-SLR has significant effects on the posi-tive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia and cogni-tive impairment and, the effect of l-SLR under effective dose on extrapyramidal system is obviously much less than that of haloperidol and l-SPD.

OBJECTIVE:To establish the HPLC characteristic chromatogram of pheretima,and compare the differences of the main ingredient contents of Guangdong pheretima and Shanghai pheretima and the chromatogram differences among pheretima and 3 other animal drugs. METHODS:Pheretima HPLC characteristic chromatogram method was adopted to determine the characteris-tic chromatograms of 16 Guangdong pheretima,8 Shanghai pheretima,3 eupolyphaga,3 hirudo and 3 catharsius. Similarity evalua-tion and t test were used to analyze the differences of chromatogram data of 5 animal drugs. RESULTS:The established HPLC char-acteristic chromatogram method firstly identified 11 common characteristic peaks,including 6 nucleosides,4 nucleobase and 1 ami-no acid;and it could be used for the identification of pheretima from eupolyphaga,hirudo and catharsius;the differences of main ingredient contents in the characteristic chromatogram of Guangdong pheretima and Shanghai pheretima were firstly studied. The contents of xanthine and adenosine in Guangdong pheretima were higher than Shanghai pheretima,while the contents of uridine, guanosine and 2′-deoxy guanosine in Shanghai pheretima were higher than Guangdong pheretima. A new index S,calculated by these 5 constituents,was successfully applied to distinguish the 2 kinds of pheretima. CONCLUSIONS:The characteristic chro-matogram can be used for the identification of pheretima,and can provide reference for the pharmacodynamic differences study of Guangdong pheretima and Shanghai pheretima.
