Experimcnts showed that the nest of Macrotermes annandalei (Silvestri ) had the activity of relieving co gh, eliminating phlegm, and bacteriostasis. It coild also promote the phagocytosis of macrophages, enhance the transformation of T-cell of lymphocyte and rasiethe ratio of ANAE cell of lymphocyte in mice.

AIM: To screen macroreticular resins for isolation and purification of flavonoids from the leaves of Diospyros kaki Linn (FLDK). METHODS: 8 kinds of macroreticular resins were assayed for their adsorbability and deadsorbability as well as the adsorption kinetics to FLDK. RESULTS: Polyamide and AB-8 resin were found with good adsorbability and deadsorbability as well as adsorption kinetics to FLDK. CONCLUSION: AB-8 resin and polyamide could be used for preparing high contents of FLDK. FLDK-P70, a flavonoid extract contained more than 77% of flavonoids was prepared from the extract of leaves of Diospyros kaki by polyamide adsorption column isolation.

Objective:To investigate the lipidomics differences of CD4+T immune cells in diabetic kidney disease(DKD)mice,and screen out the differential metabolites with biological significance.Methods:CD4(L3T4)MicroBeads immunomagnetic beads were used to isolate CD4+T immune cells from spleen of BKS.Cg-Dock7m+/+Leprdb/J mice with spontaneous DKD;the purity of CD4+T cells were identified by flow cytometry.The non-targeted lipidomics of CD4+T cells were detected by LC-MS/MS,and the differ-ential metabolites were analyzed.Results:A total of 463 metabolites were detected by LC-MS.PCA and OPLS-DA analysis showed that the metabolic components were significantly separated;twenty-four differential metabolites were screened out.KEGG and enrich-ment analysis showed that the differential metabolites involved in the disorder of glycerol phospholipid metabolism.Conclusion:Phos-pholipid metabolism of CD4+T cells is closely related to the occurrence of DKD.Phospholipid metabolism targeting DKD CD4+T cells in DKD may be a new direction of DKD treatment.

OBJECTIVE： To investigate the proportion of 8 kinds of ginsenoside to ginsenoside Rg1 in Panax ginseng and the regularity of growth year in Jilin province， and to provide reference for the identification of growth year. METHODS： The samples of garden ginseng， wild-cultivated ginseng and wild ginseng were collected from different growth years （3-30 years） in Jilin province. The contents of 8 ginsenoside （ginsenoside Rg1， Re， Rf， Rb1， Rc， Rb2， Rb3， Rd） in P. ginseng were determined by HPLC. The contents of saponins as well as the proportion of 8 kinds of ginsenoside to ginsenoside Rg1 were calculated； the relationship of the proportion with growth year was investigated. RESULTS： As the increase of growth year， the proportion of 8 kinds of ginsenosides in garden ginseng to ginsenoside Rg1 as well as that of ginsenoside Re， Rb1， Rc， Rd to ginsenoside Rg1 were decreased gradally （P＜0.001）； the proportion of ginsenoside Re to ginsenoside Rg1 in wild-cultivated ginseng decreased first and then increased（P＜0.001）； the proportion of 8 kinds of ginsenosides to ginsenoside Rg1 as well as the proportion of ginsenoside Re and Rb1 to ginsenoside Rg1 were increased gradually in wild ginseng （P＜0.001）； the proportion of ginsenoside Rf， Rb3 to ginsenoside Rg1 in garden ginseng， wild-cultivated ginseng and wild ginseng had no significant difference（P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS： Garden ginseng， wild-cultivated ginseng and wild ginseng contain 8 kinds of ginsenosides. The growth year can be predicted preliminarily according to the proportion of ginsenoside Rg1 and ginsenoside Re， Rb1 to ginsenoside Rg1.

Currently the main treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is chemotherapy combining hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. However, the unbearable side effect of chemotherapy and the high risk of life-threatening infections and disease relapse following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation restrict its application in clinical practice. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop alternative therapeutic tactics with significant efficacy and attenuated adverse effects. Here, we revealed that umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSC) efficiently induced AML cell differentiation by shuttling the neutrophil elastase (NE)-packaged extracellular vesicles (EVs) into AML cells. Interestingly, the generation and release of NE-packaged EVs could be dramatically increased by vitamin D receptor (VDR) activation in UC-MSC. Chemical activation of VDR by using its agonist 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 efficiently enhanced the pro-differentiation capacity of UC-MSC and then alleviated malignant burden in AML mouse model. Based on these discoveries, to evade the risk of hypercalcemia, we synthetized and identified sw-22, a novel non-steroidal VDR agonist, which exerted a synergistic pro-differentiation function with UC-MSC on mitigating the progress of AML. Collectively, our findings provided a non-gene editing MSC-based therapeutic regimen to overcome the differentiation blockade in AML.
