Object To study on the genetic diversity and genetic structure of Iphigenia indica Kunth. Methods Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was applied to detect DNA fingerprints of three populations of I. indicafrom Yunnan Province. Results Twenty primers were screened, and a total of 120 DNA fragments were amplified ranging from 0.2-3 kb, among which 71 (59.17%) were polymorphic. The average number of DNA band produced by each primer was 3.55. The Shannon index was (0.199 4) in Ca population, 0.200 7 in Cb population, 0.254 8 in Cc population, respectively; the average value of populations was 0.218 3. The Shannon index was 0.288 6 in species. Nei's genetic identity was 0.930 9 between Ca and Cb, 0.932 7 between Ca and Cc, 0.946 6 between Cb and Cc. G_(st) within population was (0.204 4.) Conclusion For the establishment of protective tactic and measure, and of the standard of good agriculture practice (GAP) growth and heredity breeding, RAPD analysis provides I. indicawith theoretical foundation and basal data.

Blood-brain barrier is a natural protection for human body. It protects central nervous system from the interruption and damage of xenobiotics. However, it prevents potential drugs aimed at central nervous system, thus becomes an obstruction for the development of central nervous system drugs. The recent development of blood-brain barrier permeability research and several lead optimization strategies to improve blood-brain barrier permeability are reviewed. These structure optimization methods include increasing lipophilicity, reducing hydrogen bond doners, simplifying molecule, increasing rigidity, lowering polar surface area, avoiding acid group, prodrug strategy, modifying into active transporter's substrates, as well as avoiding P-glycoprotein recognized structures.

AIM:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of methazolamide in treating refractory uveitic macular edema.METHODS: Retrospective self-controlled study was designed.A total of 15 patients (20 eyes) with refractory uveitic macular edema which used methazolamide as adjuvant therapy were enrolled in Shanghai First People`s Hospital from January 2015 to June 2016.The changes of central macular thickness (CMT) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were observed at baseline and 2, 4, 8wk after treatment.We also focused on the incidence of complications and relapse.RESULTS: The CMT was 445.95±154.10μm, 338.83±138.34μm, 251.50±40.20μm, 244.90±35.68μm at baseline, 2, 4 and 8wk after treatment, respectively.The differences among them were statistically significant (F=15.467, P<0.05).The BCVA (log MAR) were 0.40±0.17, 0.28±0.21, 0.19±0.20, 0.18±0.21 at baseline, 2, 4 and 8wk respectively, with a significant difference among them (F=5.208, P<0.05).When the cumulative dose reached to 700mg and 1400mg, no one had methazolamide-related complications;and when it came to 2800mg, 5 patients (33%) had methazolamide-related complication.After the withdrawal of methazolamide 1wk, 1 and 3mo, 3 patients (20%), 5 patients (33%) and 8 patients (53%) relapsed, respectively.CONCLUSION: Methazolamide is beneficial in improving macular edema and vision in 4wk.When the cumulative dose is more than 1400mg, we need pay attention to the complications.After discontinuing methazolamide for 1wk, macular edema relapsed in some patients, and more than half of patients recurred after 3mo.So the patients should be followed closely in 3mo after withdrawal of methazolamide.

Cor pulmonale is a common disease. The intervention varies and the effectiveness remains unsatisfactory. The vasodilators have been studied intensively in recent years and their application in treating the disease has been developing quickly. In this paper, the advances of research on the vasodilators in treatment of pulmonary hypertension in the last 5 years is reviewed, the advantages and disadvantages of the drugs presented, and a discussion on the trend of treatment of pulmonary hypertension made.

Objective To investigate the effect of transforming growth factor-?1 (TGF-?1) on cell cycle,cell proliferation,and invasive capacity of human colon cancer cells of the line SW480,for its role in colon carcinogenesis and development,as well as its application in gene therapy for colon cancer with RNA interference.Methods The recombinant expressing plasmids pEGFP-N1-TGF-?1 was constructed and transfected into SW480 cells by Lipofectamine 2000.The expression of TGF-?1 mRNA and protein in the transfected SW480 cells were detected by fluorescent microscopy,RT-PCR and Western blot analysis respectively.The cell proliferation of SW480 cells was tested by MTT assay,the cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry,and the invasion ability of SW480 cells were investigated by Transwell-matrigel invasion chambers.Results After transfected into SW480 cells,both the mRNA and protein levels of TGF-?1 were effectively increased (P

Objective To explore the effects of Tianqijiangtang capsule combined with Metformin on the levels of IL‐6 ,TNF‐α and C‐RP protein in patients with T2DM. Methods 80 T2DM were randomized into control group (treatment with Metformin ,n= 40) and treatment group (treatment with Tianqijiangtang in combination with Metformin ,n=40). The changes of levels of IL‐6 ,TNF‐α and C‐RP were observed before and after the treatment. Results Compared to the pretreatment in the same group and after treatment in control group ,IL‐6 ,TNF‐αand C‐RP of treatment group were reduced significantly [(6.79 ± 0.60) ,(7.15 ± 0.62) vs (5.08 ± 0.43)pg/ml;(8.94 ± 0.55) ,(8.61 ± 0.66) vs (5.18 ± 0.45) pg/ml;(6.79 ± 0.60) ,(6.58 ± 0.59) vs (5.56 ± 0.30) mg/L ,P<0.01]. Conclusion Tianqijiangtang capsule combined with Metformin can decrease the levels of IL‐6 ,TNF‐αand C‐RP in T2DM patients.
