Object To study the chemical constituent and the bioactivity in the bark of Tsoongiodendron odorum Chun Methods By bioactive following method, the extracts of both EtOAc and n BuOH in the bark of T odorum were screened for in vitro anti tumor activity Results Five constituents were obtained Among them, three from EtOAc fraction belonged to germacranolides They were costunolide (Ⅰ), parthenolide (Ⅱ) and dihydroparthenolide (Ⅲ) The other two were from the fraction of n BuOH, one was an oxoaporphinoid alkaloid, liriodenine (Ⅳ), and the last was a furanone, 2, 3 dihydroxyl 2 methyl butylrolactone (Ⅴ) Conclusion All the above five compounds are found for the first time from this plant Compounds Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅳ, and Ⅴ show the cytotoxic activities against a variety of tumor cell strains, respectively

[Objective] To screen the anticancer fraction from extract of root of Adina rubella Hance.[Methods]To separate the water extract from root of Adina rubella Hance by different solvens,then determine their anticancer activities of the different extracts in vitro with MTT method.[Results]The ethylacetate extract strongly inhibited cell proliferation of LS174T,and showed significant dosage-dependent response while the butanol extract and the chloroform extract showed low anticancer activities in vitro.[Conclusion]The ethylacetate extract is the principal anticancer extract from root of Adina rubella Hance.

Obtaining soil bacterial DNA of good quality is a key step in soil bacterial ecology study.A quick, efficient,sensitive and stably method of DNA extraction from soil were established by combining strongpoints of two kits(Soilmaster kit and DNA IQ~(TM)kit).In addition,the 16S rDNA gene and T-RFLP(Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism)were used in the analysis of soil bacterial community diversity and the result show that T-RFLP is a powerful tool for bacterial community study.

The radix,leaf,flower and bud of raw medicinal materials and extraction of total alkaloids of Aconitum kusnezoffii Reichb.were all involved in this investigation.All the compositions from the samples were analyzed through fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) combined with second derivative IR spectroscopy and two-dimensional IR correlation spectroscopy (2D-IR).It was found that the spectra of raw medicinal materials showed that the radix of A.kusnezoffii Reichb.featuring a large quantity of starch was the same as starch with the characteristic peaks at 1,155,1,070 and 1,019.The leaf,flower and bud contained the similar aromatic hydrocarbons (1,600),glycosides (1,050-1,070),while lipids were not clear.The characteristic peaks of the buds,flowers and leaves were all at 1,595 cm-1 (vibration of phenyl framework) and 1,262 cm-1 (=C-O).Therefore,it was suggested that the common compound of the three parts be diterpenoid alkaloids.Second derivative IR spectroscopy showed that the characteristic peaks of radix was stronger than those of the flower,leaf and bud at 1,712 cm-1 (C=O),which proved that the quantity of characteristic peaks in the radix was larger than those in the flower,leaf and bud.In addition,six autopeaks at 1,745,1,650,1,560 (the most strong),1,465,1,400,1,300 were detected from the radix.The similar autopeaks at 1,745,1,650,1,560 (the most strong),1,465,1,400,1,300 were found in the leaf,bud and flower.In conclusion,it was demonstrated that the macro-fingerprint infrared spectroscopic identification method provided a large quantity of the comprehensive information and entirely grasped the quality of A.kusnezoffii Reichb.Besides,FTIR and 2D-IR provided massive information of the integral structures of the radix,leaf,flower and bud of A.kusnezoffii Reichb.and verified the differences between the four parts of the herb in physical structure and the contents,laying a foundation for further systematic work.

Mesenehymal stem cells(MSCs)have been successfully isolated from almost all tissues in Mammals,and their multi-lineage differentiation ability leads to the attractive application of MSCs in regenerative medicine.More understanding of the biological characteristics of MSCs,the interaction between MSCs and the local environment,the molecules regulating MSC homing and differentiation have been achieved,which will benefit the effective clinical trials using MSCs as repair cells and/or vehicles for exogenous genes.

Objective To study the effect of Chinese herbs on human scalp hair growth in vitro. Methods Organ culture of human scalp hair follicles was used to study the effects of extracts of Crataegus cuneata, Ligustrum lucidum, Polyporus umbelatus and Bletilla striata mixture and ginseng saponin on hair growth. Results Low doses of mixture extracts(1.28 ?g/mL and 6.4 ?g/mL) markedly enhanced the hair growth and lengthened the period of hair growth, while high doses of mixture extracts(4 mg/mL and 20 mg/mL) sharply inhibited hair growth and shortened the period of hair growth. High doses of ginseng saponin (40 ?g/mL and 200 ?g/mL) also had an inhibiting effect on hair growth. Conclusion This observation suggests that extracts of Crataegus cuneata, Ligustrum lucidum, Polyporus umbelatus and Bletilla striata mixture can promote hair growth in vitro.

The residual crown and root has very important physiological significances,but there are many problems in the clinical treatment,such as overtreatment and defensive treatment,etc.This article analyze the background and causes of these problems,and provids some corresponding ways to solve them.
